Uptown Girl
A fanfic done by matn90
Disclaimer: I do not own Fuzzy Things by Jonathan Sario! Nor do I
own Billy Joel’s song
While this isn’t my first time
writing a fanfic, it is my first fanfic that’s for a web comic. I do
have Jonathan’s permission to write this by the way, so nobody can sue me HA!
I thought of this idea when I saw fic “Admirer’s Secret” (A very good fic) on
the Stuff page not to long ago. Then a few minutes later I heard this song and
I got the idea of writing this.
This fic is rated PG, which
means very little cursing.
Anyway, the fic features Fox and
the others all at the age of 14, so they are freshmen in High school about now
while Ixiah and the others are all Seniors, but the older gang won’t be shown
in this fic.
Romance: Mono x Shiva (main one)
Hero x Maxi, Fox x Maegan
I hope everyone enjoys it. I
only wish I made the start of the fic a bit more creative. Also, it’s long,
around 12,000 to 13,000 words long. So get a snack while you read this.
***
(Morning, about
It was another morning in
Russetville.
Normally you would think a
teenager would sleep this early.
All but one did.
Mono didn’t know why, but he
liked to get up in the mornings a bit early. It gave him time to eat with his
family, check to see if he had everything for school, and maybe even work on
his drawings if he had the time.
So this time, like all the other
times before, he got up. Mono was wearing regular plain grey sweatpants with a
white T-shirt covering his chest. He gave a small yawn before getting up. He quickly
got up and walked over to the bathroom to wash up. He had his own bathroom in
his room so he quickly walked over to the sink and washed his face.
After he dried his hair he
looked at himself in the mirror.
He had changed over the past few
years, he was currently 5’7 and was even starting to grow his crest on his
head, but he still wore his hat in public since he felt more secure with it.
After a quick shower, along with
some dry clothes, he headed down to the table for breakfast.
When he arrived he had his
school uniform on, which featured simple brown jeans and a white buttoned short
sleeve shirt, and saw his mom making breakfast.
“Morning sweetie.” She said as
she placed some eggs and toast on a plate and handed them to Mono.
Mono said thanks and sat down to
eat.
“By the way, Grandma sent a
postcard from her vacation, turns out she broke her leg while snowboarding on
the mountains.” Mono’s mom said while she got her coffee.
Mono almost choked on his egg,
“Grandma doesn’t snowboard!”
His mom rolled his eyes, “Wish
that was true.”
Mono quickly finished his
breakfast and found out he had enough time to run upstairs and finish his
latest comic strip.
He ran over to his desk, picked
up his pencil, and got to work.
Most of his comics were action
like heroes in a sci-fi like world, but if there was one thing in common about
all of them it’s that they featured all his friends in them.
When he was a kid, Mono was
quiet, and still is, who’s only friend was a star he found named Jao. Then when
he met everyone in the park 8 years ago, he found real friends.
He had 7 in all.
First was Fox Kitsunei, who
moved from a space colony with his dad and older brother to Russetville the
same day he met everyone else. Fox was a bit cynical, but eventually he got
over it and became a great friend with everyone.
Next was Maegan Arthur, who was
Fox’s best friend and worst enemy in a way. No matter how many time’s he kept
telling her to stop, she always tried to get him to go out with her. It annoyed
Fox to no end. Although, a few people thought he liked her in the same way she
did, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
Next was Hero Umaki, who was one
of the most honest and loyal friends Mono ever knew. While he was friends with
everyone, Maxi Rush was his best friend as they knew each other since they were
infants. Other then that, he was a kind guy with a big appetite.
Speaking of Maxi Rush, she was a
strange person. At first you would mistake her for a boy, but she was a girl
really. She was a great athlete, but had a habit of getting into trouble many
times while getting everyone else in trouble too. But besides that she was a
good friend, even if she had a weird way of showing it.
The next one was Rex Wizard, who
was a genius. Rex had an IQ that was bigger then normal and could invent
amazing things. But of course this made him get picked on by others because of
his brain. He doesn’t mind it so much, but the one thing he couldn’t stand was Mono’s
next friend.
Mono had never seen anyone
more….interesting….then Blue Cranberry. Nobody knew if she had ADHD or was just
plain insane, but which ever it was she had one crazy personality. She could
talk about one thing in one minute and something totally ridicules the next
minute. She also loved playing with Rex’s inventions, but always broke them.
Then there was his last….and
most precious friend…
“Mono?”
Mono turned around to see his
mom come in and say, “I just got off the phone with Shiva; she says she and
Rigel will pick you up in 10 minutes for school.”
“O.k.” Said Mono before picking
out a piece of paper and started drawing.
Shiva Silverstine, a rich girl
who was the only person who Mono talked normal to except his own family. He
didn’t know why, but she understood him and he understood her. It was amazing
how they could even be friends.
She was rich. He was middle
class.
She was popular. He was a
nobody.
She spoke her mind. He rarely
ever spoke.
They were complete opposites.
Yet they were best friends.
He became friends with her
because she too felt lonely and only acted mean to not show it. However, the
more time they spent together, the more she acted like herself. But she still
was sometime a brat and had a bad anger problem. One time, a jerk was hitting
on her in 8th grade….the guy still is in the hospital last Mono heard.
He finished his drawing and
looked at it.
It featured Shiva and him
together…..holding hands….and in the middle of a sunset….getting way too
close…..
He sighed again. Yeah, if you
hadn’t guess, he had a major crush on her.
He didn’t know what happened,
maybe it was hormones, maybe it was puberty, or maybe he felt like this always.
But somehow he had a crush on Shiva.
A beeping noise was heard and
looked out side his window.
There she stood, waiting for him
with Rigal the car, parked next to his house.
“Hey! Invisible boy! Let’s go!”
She cried out.
He shook his head and smiled,
she was always him things like that.
He quickly put away his stuff
and grabbed his backpack.
***
Shiva was waiting for him when
he got down. She was wearing the usual girl’s outfit for school. A brown skirt,
with a white T-shirt and brown tie. She, like Mono, was also 5’7. She had black
hair, originally pink, but she dyed it, and pink feathers.
“Finally, I thought you were
never going to get here.” She said a little angry.
“It was only a minute ago.” Said
Mono.
“Humph, well let’s go already!”
Said Shiva getting in.
Mono obeyed and sat in the
passenger’s seat of the hover limo.
“Good day Mono.” Said Rigal.
“Hi.” Said Mono as he got in and
Rigal drove off.
Shiva then said, “What took you
so long?”
Mono nervously said, “My
comics…”
Shiva then started saying, “I
don’t know why you make those things anyway. I mean if it were me doing stuff
like that I-“
Mono did what he always did when
ever Shiva went into a long talk, listen.
That’s what they were, Shiva was
the talker, and Mono was the listener.
While he listened he just keep
looking at her….her red ruby eyes….her soft pink wings….her-
“HEY!” She yelled making Mono
get back to reality, “Did you hear anything that I said.”
Mono nodded.
Shiva sighed and started looking
out the window as they got closer to the school.
Mono sighed and started to sweat
as he thought, Come on Mono….you can do this….you can ask her….you can tell
on…
“H-h-hey…S-Shiva…” Said Mono
nervous and a little red.
“Hmm?” Said Shiva.
“I….I…..I….I…I…….I….I….L….L……I…”
Mono kept trying to say the three simple words, but he couldn’t, all he could
do was talk gibberish.
“What? What is it? “I” what?”
Asked Shiva getting a bit annoyed.
“I….I…..never mind.” He said
turning away so she couldn’t see him blush like crazy.
Shiva looked at him like he was
crazy and then said, “Fine, but you really need help in speaking better.”
Mono sighed and said
depressingly, “….Yeah….”
Shiva looked at him and then
smiled, “Cheer up! I have a surprise that will make you happy!”
Mono looked at here, a bit
alarmed. Normally when Shiva said she had a surprise…it meant your going to
face her wrath.
Like one time, Rex had invented
a cream that looked like it was made to make the face smooth, but what it
really did was make you have warts on your face.
Rex wanted to use this on Blue as
revenge for breaking another one of his inventions, but Shiva took it by
accident….needless to say she screamed so loud that everyone in a 50 mile
radius could hear here.
Rex made an antidote and cured
her. The next day, Shiva brought a “surprise” for Rex. It was some cookies as a
way of saying “thanks” for curing her. Rex was suspicious of them, but he took
them anyway. What he didn’t know however was that they had sleeping powder in
them and he fell asleep in less then a minute.
When Rex woke up he found
himself in girl clothes, tied to the school’s flag pole with everyone laughing
at him.
So you could see why Mono was
worried.
“Who are you going to get
revenge on this time?” Mono asked.
Shiva yelled, “I’m not getting
revenge! It’s a real surprise! Something….came up last week and I wanted to
share it with everyone…”
Mono was now curious, but he
would find out later anyway.
When they arrived, they said bye
to Rigal and head up to the high school (The same one Ixiah and the others go
to in the comics)
As they entered the entrance two
people were coming towards them.
The first was a male yellow
furred dog, dressed in uniform, about 5’8 and a half.
The second was a female orange
furred cat, dressed in uniform, about 5’7.
It was none other then Hero and
Maxi, and neither one looked happy.
Correction.
Hero didn’t look happy, Maxi
looked pissed.
Shiva gave a smile and said,
“Hello love birds!”
“So you do admit it!” Said Maxi
looking like she wanted fried bird for lunch.
“What do you mean?” Asked Shiva
acting all innocent.
“Shiva, we know you started
spreading the rumor that Maxi and I were dating.” Said Hero who was not happy.
Shiva looked shocked, “Me?! Why
would I want to spread a rumor like that?! Although it’s pretty good.”
“Come on, quick the innocent
act.” Said Maxi.
Shiva then said, “Well if you
must know! I’m innocent!”
Maxi snorted, “Yeah, and I’m in
love with Fox’s brother.”
Shiva then gave an annoyed look
and said, “Well at least I don’t look and act like a boy!”
Maxi then said, “At least I
don’t act like a spoiled brat!”
Shiva, now mad, shouted, “At
least I don’t cough up hair balls!”
Maxi yelled back, “At least I
don’t get warts!”
“At least I don’t crap in a
sandbox!”
“At least my crap isn’t white!”
“Butt licker!”
“Insect eater!”
As they continued to insult each
other, Hero went over to Mono and said, “Hey, while they talk it out like
girls, do you have it?”
Mono nodded and pulled out his
latest comic, all pages printed and colored, from his backpack and handed it to
Hero.
He smiled, “Thanks. You ever
think about being a cartoonist when you’re older?”
Mono shrugged, he never gave
much thought to what he would do with his life.
“Oh come on!” Cried Shiva
getting their attention, “Why don’t you both admit it! Everyone knows you both
have the hot’s for the other.”
Maxi and Hero blushed and said
at the same time, “Were just friends!”
They looked at each other and
turned away, still blushing.
Mono smiled and shook his head.
It was common knowledge that they both liked each other. They just wouldn’t
admit it.
“Anyway, I wanted to find you
guys anyway. I have a surprise.” Said Shiva happily.
Hero then said, “What ever it
is, were sorry alright!”
Shiva yelled, “I MEANT A REAL
SURPRISE!!! DOES EVERYONE ALWAYS THINK I’M GOING TO DO SOMETHING BAD!!!”
Everyone around them looked away
whistling while, Mono, Hero and Maxi tried to find the words that would not get
them in trouble.
Shiva sighed and said, “Ah,
forget it. Let’s just to class.”
She walked off. Just like that.
That got the three their attention.
Normally Shiva would yell more,
but she didn’t.
They decided they would find out
later so they just followed her to class.
Still….the one question was on
their mind….what was the surprise?
***
(Lunch Time)
Mono, Maxi, and Hero were
sitting at a large table outside the school with 4 other people.
First was an orange furred male
fox around 5’7 and a half. He had blue shades as glasses and his eyes were
squinted. He also now had a back ponytail for his hair.
The second was a gray haired
female rabbit (Same height) who was, at this time, bothering the fox by playing
with his tail.
The third was a male brown
furred beaver that had glasses on, he was about 5’5. You couldn’t see his eyes
and the top part of his face because of the large red hat over his head.
The final person was a blue
furred female bat with blue bat wings, around 5’7, and had a look of hyper
activity in her eyes.
“Maegan….for the 48th
time…please let go of my tail.” Said Fox growing more annoyed every second.
“Aw, but your tail is so soft
and fuzzy! It’s like having a blanket during a cold winter day!” Said Maegan
rubbing it softly.
Fox looked at the other for
help, but they were all smiling.
“What will it take for you to
let go me? And it had better not be a date or a kiss!” Said Fox.
Maegan pouted, “Come on!”
Maxi chuckled, “Why don’t you
just do it Fox? She’s been asking for 8 years now.”
Fox then said, “When you and
Hero finally go out, then I’ll go out with vermin here.”
Again, Maxi and Hero blushed and
said, “Were just friends!”
“Sure and Blue’s not insane.”
Said Rex who was doing work on his laptop.
“That’s right!...Hey wait!” Said
Blue who looked at Rex a bit angry at his comment.
“So anyway, why did Shiva want
us all here again?” Asked Maegan.
“I don’t know, she said it was
for some kind of surprise or something.” Said Maxi.
Rex suddenly felt the need to
activate the cloaking device he had in his backpack.
“Relax Rex, she’s not going to
get back at someone…I think she’s serious.” Said Hero.
Rex relaxed a little, but then
asked, “So what is it?”
“I don’t know….maybe it’s
cheese!” Shouted Blue acting all excited.
Everyone groaned, how did she
get so obsessed with it? Is it from being adopted by a mouse family or what?
“No Blue, I don’t think its cheese.”
Said Rex.
She stuck her tongue out, “Says
you!”
Fox then said, “Maybe Mono
knows.”
Mono looked up and saw everyone
stare at him, which made him nervous.
“So what is it?” Asked Fox.
“I…I…don’t…know.” Said Mono.
“Really?” Said Maegan who was
surprised, “But she tells you everything.”
“…not everything…” Said Mono.
“Well, were going to find out
soon because here she comes.” Said Fox pointing to Shiva who was walking to
them.
“Hello all who adore me!” Said
Shiva.
“Which is nobody.” Said Maxi
making a Hero, Maegan, and Blue laugh.
Shiva frowned and said, “Ha ha.
Very funny. I’ll have you know that this surprise is going to make everyone
feel great.”
“And by everyone you mean you,
right?” Asked Fox.
“Yeah, so?” Asked Shiva as if
that was wrong.
The group sighed.
“Anyway, can you tell us what
the surprise is already? I want to get lunch.” Said Hero.
“But you just ate.” Said Maegan.
“So, I can still get seconds.”
Said Hero smiling.
“Fine, don’t worry. He’s going
to be here soon anyway.” Shiva said.
Everyone else looked at each
other puzzled.
He?
“He” turned out to be a black
feathered falcon, long black hair, about 5’8 and also in school uniform.
Everyone, but Shiva, had never
seen him before.
“Hey, did you tell them yet?”
Asked the falcon.
Shiva smiled and said, “Not
yet.”
She turned to her friends and
said, “Everyone this is
Boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
SHATTER!!!!!
That was Mono’s heart by the
way.
The moment he heard that word,
his heart sank, full of hurt, and his mouth was wide open, full of shock.
And so was everyone else, except
the hurt part.
“Are you serious?” Said Hero.
“She is, we’ve been going out
for a week.” Said
She giggled and said, “We meet
last year at a party our parents went too. Since were both from rich families
we were supposed to know each other. We became friends and eventually went
out.”
Maxi grinned and said, “Wow
Shiva having a boyfriend, hell must be freezing over.”
“What Maxi means is
congratulations.” Said Maegan who was wishing Fox was her boyfriend, for the
10th time this week.
“Yeah, we’re happy for you.”
Said Fox who nodded.
Everyone, but Mono, nodded.
Shiva smiled and said, “Aw
thanks guys.”
“So when is the wedding?” Asked
Blue.
Shiva blushed and said, “BLUE WE
JUST STARTED DATING AND YOU WANT US TO GET HITCHED!!!?”
Blue simple smiled and said,
“Why not? I always wanted to be a bridesmaid…or was it the ring barer?”
Shiva slapped her forehead and
said to Mono, “So Mono? You like my surprise?”
Mono didn’t know what to say,
“I…I have to….go.” He then got up and left in a hurry.
“What’s wrong with your friend?”
Asked
“I don’t know, maybe he had to
go to the bathroom or something.” Said Shiva, “Anyway, were going out to eat
before the bell rings. Later.”
They watched as the new bird
couple left them.
“I never guessed Shiva would be
the first out of all of us to get a boyfriend/girlfriend.” Said Rex pondering.
“Yeah, I always thought it was
going to be Maxi and Hero.” Said Fox.
The two of them sighed. They
gave up, trying to convince everyone they didn’t like each other that way.
I mean come on…..even if Maxi
is cute….there’s no way she would go out with me…. Thought Hero.
While I like Hero and all, I
think he just wants to be friends with me. Thought Maxi thinking about her favorite yellow dog.
If only they knew how the other
felt.
Shiva was right about one thing.
Mono did go to the bathroom, but not to go or anything.
When he entered the boy’s
bathroom and found it empty he kept mentally hitting himself in the head.
He was angry.
Angry at that
Angry at fate for making Shiva
and
But mostly, he was angry at
himself…..for not telling Shiva how he truly felt for her.
He sighed. He shouldn’t be angry
at
He couldn’t be jealous.
He nodded, as a friend he needed
to be happy with her choice.
Still….why did it hurt so much
in the chest thinking that.
***
(End of School)
School was out and every student
was running here, there and everywhere in the halls.
Mono was busy taking his things
from his locker. He had been meaning to find Shiva, but he couldn’t find her.
He then closed his locker only
to see her and Leon in front of him.
“Oh….hey.” Said Mono a little
shocked.
“Hey yourself. You o.k.?” Shiva
asked.
“Yeah….I’m fine.” Said Mono.
Shiva smiled and said, “Good.”
Mono then thought, Might as
well make things right.
“Shiva…Leon…..” Said Mono
getting their attention, “I’m….happy you guys are together….”
Shiva smiled and said, “Thanks.”
Shiva nodded and said bye to Mono
as she left with
Mono smiled, but then frowned.
Why did it hurt so much?
***
(Friday,
It had been over two weeks since
Shiva had announced she was going out with
He and Shiva had been seeing
less and less of each other over the pass week. Whenever he tried to talk to her
or hang out, she was always with
She was also hanging out less
with the others.
When Fox and Maegan had her as
their science partner, she never showed up on the work dates and did nothing on
the work.
She was also was late or never
showed up at Blue’s place for her flying lessons.
All in all Shiva was happy and Mono
was glad too, but he was also sad because their relationship was not the same
as it was before.
But Mono was sure everything
would be o.k. today.
It was Friday and every Friday
he and Shiva went to Pizza Doe and hung out. They had been doing it since they
were 6 and it was their own little thing.
Mono was in his room getting
ready. He had normal brown Jeans on with a simple green shirt that said “You
can’t see me!” on the front and an eye on the back. He placed his hat on and
put the money in his wallet when his cell phone rang.
“Hello?” He asked answering it.
“Hey! It’s me.” Said Shiva’s
voice on the receiver.
“Hey, I was about to leave for
Pizza Doe…..so whe-“
“I can’t come.” Said Shiva.
Mono’s eyes widen, “B...b-but we
always do Pizza Doe on Fridays…..”
“I know! I know! But
“But…but….” Said Mono trying to
find the words.
“I promise we’ll go next week.
Better yet,
“But…” Said Mono.
“Great, see you later.” Said
Shiva before the line went dead.
“But…..it’s our own
thing…..”Said Mono with sadness in his voice and eyes.
He turned his cell phone off and
headed to Pizza Doe….all alone.
He was happy for Shiva and
Leon……..yeah……he was happy there relationship was destroying his friendship
with his best friend.
***
(Pizza Doe
Mono was currently sitting in a
booth, alone.
He had two pizzas, both not
eaten, and a coke only half gone. He didn’t care; he was busy wondering what
was going on between him and Shiva.
“Dude, you look like you just
got totally grounded for a year.” Said a male deer around the age of 29. He had
a red shirt, with blue jeans, and yellow surfer like hair with his antlers
coming out of his head.
“Hey Zinc…..” Said Mono without
any care.
Zinc sat down and said, “So
what’s up, green man. You’re looking all blue today.”
Mono sighed and told him about
him and Shiva and her boyfriend Leon. When he was done Zinc said, “Whoa, didn’t
think the dudet would score a dude first man. Anyway, I know how you’re
hurting. I was in the same predicament myself.”
Mono’s eyes caught interest,
“You were?”
“Yeah, see like one time. I had
this really nice looking chick friend named Lila. Man, she was one fine looking
doe. Anyway, I liked her man, but I always chickened every time I tried to tell
her. Eventually, she found someone other dude and went out with him. I was
depressed at first, because she always chilled with him instead of me, but
after awhile, everything went back to normal.” Said Zinc.
“And….. did you tell her your
feelings for you?” Asked Mono.
“Naw, she married the dude and
they live the next town over. I still see them sometimes.” Said Zinc.
“But…. I don’t get it. Why
didn’t you tell her your feelings?” Asked Mono who was confused.
“Because even though I was sad I
wasn’t her boyfriend, I had to be happy for her as her friend.” Said Zinc,
“Don’t worry about Shiva not spending time with you. It’s her first boyfriend
and she’s new to the whole thing. But just be her friend and everything will be
smooth dude.”
Mono nodded, “Yeah, I guess.”
Zinc then said smiling,
“Besides, if she dumps the guy, you can go get her.”
Mono blushed, “B-b-b-b-ut
I….d-d-on’t….”
Zinc got up and laughed, “Chill
dude, secret’s safe with me. Later.”
Mono sighed and tried thinking
on what Zinc said.
What he said made sense. After
all, Shiva never had a boyfriend before and she was new to the whole thing.
Maybe if he gave her more time, she would spend more time with him and the
gang.
Not to mention he had to be
happy for her, no matter what he felt.
He then found an urge to go the
little chameleon’s room. The bathrooms were right next to the entrance to the
second room where he met Blue when he was 6.
He was about to go in when he
heard a familiar voice laughing.
He peaked through the door only
to be shocked at what he saw.
He saw
“So anyway, baby….I was
wondering…if it’s not so hard….will you be my girlfriend?” Asked
The female one said, “Oh
Mono put his body against the floor,
accidentally blended in with the white color, and couldn’t believe it.
***
(A few days later)
Mono still didn’t know what to
do.
He had tried to get the courage
to tell Shiva as soon as possible to tell her
But he wasn’t sure she would
believe him.
I mean he didn’t have proof and Mono
couldn’t confront
He felt confused and angry on
why
Shiva was a great, beautiful,
friend who
Or more if he was being a
player.
He had to tell Shiva, but she
didn’t want her mad at him and not believing in him.
But he never lied to Shiva
before.
Yet, he was also not very
talkative about
In the end he needed to talk to
someone.
He couldn’t tell his parents or
his grandma.
That left only his friends, but
whom?
Blue? No, she could never keep a
secret.
Rex? He wasn’t an expert in
romance, no matter how smart he was.
Maxi and Hero were also out of
the question. Despite not being “close” with Shiva, they still treated her as a
friend. Maxi would beat up
Maegan, although the most
interested in romance due to her crush on Fox, was also out because she wasn’t
as good as a secret keeper either. Not as bad as Blue, but close.
That left only Fox.
Fox was a good choice. He could
keep a secret and was smart for his age, if you don’t count Rex having the high
IQ.
That’s why Mono was in the park.
He went to find him after visiting Fox’s house, but his older brother Ixiah
told him he was with Rex and Maegan, with Kitami, at the park with Rex.
While Mono was searching for
them, Rex was showing the two his latest invention.
“So why did you bring us out
here?” Asked Fox, dressed in a plain black T-shirt, orange jacket with a red
fox on the back, and blue jeans.
“Yeah and why did I have to
bring Kitami?” Asked Maegan who held the B’kit in her arms.
“B’kit!” Said Kitami who then
started flying in the air.
“Well, remember how I said I
invented an invention that can make others hear different languages? Well, this
time I made one for pets.” Said Rex showing something that looked between a ray
beam and a mini vacuum.
“So you’re saying if you hit me
with it I can understand B’kit?” asked Maegan who looked interested.
“Not only that, but when ever
you speak, she’ll hear it in her own language.” Said Rex charging it.
“Maybe yo,u can tell Kitami to
stop defiling all our lawns on the street.” Said Fox.
“Whatever just hit me with your
best shot!” Said Maegan.
Fox lightly smacked her on the
head.
“Hey!” Said Maegan.
“You said to hit you.” He said,
giving his fox like smile.
She huffed and cross her arms.
“Your odd way of flirting aside,
let’s do this.” Said Rex pointing the invention at Maegan.
“I wasn’t flirting.” Said Fox.
“Right.” Said Rex who fired.
A greed colored beam hit Maegan
and she glowed for a short while till everything was normal again.
“How do you feel?” Asked Fox.
Maegan said, “B’kit……B’KIT!!?
B’KIT B’KIT B’KIT!!!!” She was panicking.
Rex, Kitami, and Fox stared at
her.
“B’kit?” Asked Kitami.
“B’KIT!!!” Cried Maegan speaking
only in b’kit.
“Rex….what happened?” Asked Fox.
Rex looked at his invention and
said, “I don’t know…someone must have messed with the invention and made it
make people only speak in B’Kit and not normal.”
“Well how do you feel Maegan?”
Asked Fox.
“B’kit b’kit b’kit.” Said Maegan
who was desperately trying to speak normal.
Fox grinned and said, “Sorry, I
can’t understand?”
“B’kit! B’kit b’kit b’kit
b’kit!” Cried Maegan waving her arms around.
“What’s that? You want me to
kiss you, to make you feel better?” Asked Fox.
Meagan’s eyes widened and she
jumped saying, “B’KIT!!!”
Fox then said, “Sorry, I don’t
understand, I guess that means no.”
“B’KIT!!!!!” She screamed at him
in anger while Fox snickered and asked Rex, “So who do you think did it?”
Rex looked at him and said, “I’m
guessing a 14 year old female bat with more energy then 3 year old on sugar.”
“Come on, couldn’t it be anyone
else?” Asked Fox.
Rex gave him a stare that said
“Yeah Right” all over it.
Fox nodded, “Fine. Just find
someway to fix her.”
“Shouldn’t take me more then a
few hours.” Said Rex.
Mono, at this time, spotted them
nearby and walked over, “Um, hey guys.”
“Hey Mono.” Said Fox.
“Hi.” Said Rex.
“B’kit.” Said Maegan.
Mono looked at Maegan in a weird
way and said, “What…..”
“Long story.” Said Rex and Fox.
“Well, anyway…Fox can I talk to
you….alone?” Asked Mono.
Fox raised his eye brows,
“Sure.”
Mono and Fox walked away from
the others till Mono was sure they were in a part of the park where they
couldn’t be heard.
“So what is it?” Asked Fox
leaning on a tree.
Mono sighed, “Promise me… you
won’t tell anyone ….what I’m going to tell you.”
Fox could see he was serious and
nodded.
Mono took a deep breath and
said, “
Fox looked alert and said, “Are
you sure.”
Mono nodded and explained what
he had seen.
After explaining Mono said, “I
don’t know what to do, I want to tell her, but I’m afraid she won’t believe
me.”
Fox thought about this, “Mono…..you
have to tell her.”
Mono then said, “But…”
“Listen, as her closest friend
you have to tell her straight from your mouth. She believes you more then
anyone I know so it’s fair if you tell her.” Said Fox.
Mono remembered what Zinc said,
“Yeah…I have to be a friend.”
Fox nodded.
Mono sighed, “I’ll tell her
tomorrow.”
“Good.” Said Fox, who hoped this
would go smooth.
***
(The next day at school)
It was finally the end of the
day. Mono was currently trying to find Shiva and tell her what had happened.
He eventually found her and
Leon, outside the door, talking.
Shiva noticed him and said,
“Hey, Mono. What’s going on?”
Mono asked, “Ummm….Shiva, can
you follow me, alone, for a second.”
Shiva nodded and kissed
Mono lead Shiva to the outside
basketball courts where nobody was around.
Guess it’s now or never. Thought Mono taking a small breath.
“Shiva…I have something to tell
you.” Mono said, but Shiva interrupted by saying, “Wait a moment! I have to
show you what
Shiva pulled out a diamond
bracelet around her hand and said, “its
Mono just stared at it.
“Anyway, can this hurry up
because Leon and I have a date later and-“
“He’s cheating on you.” Said Mono
getting it over with.
Shiva stopped talking and stared
at Mono.
Silence.
“What?” She asked.
Mono sighed, “I saw…
Shiva said nothing. Then she
said, “I can’t believe it…”
Mono then said, “I’m sorry, but
I know this hard to—“
“I never thought someone like
you would lie about such a thing.” Said Shiva looking mad at Mono.
Mono was shocked, “B-b-but I’m
not lying! I saw him with some other girl yesterday!”
“No,
“I’m not lying! Why would I
lie?” Asked Mono.
“Gee, I don’t know? Maybe it’s
because I’m hanging more with my boyfriend then you!” Said Shiva like it was
obvious.
Mono couldn’t believe this.
“Yes, I was a bit disappointed
when you started hanging out with him more, but I was happy for you!” Said Mono
desperately trying to convince Shiva.
Shiva then said, “So you don’t
want me to be happy or have someone to love?!”
“No I do, but he doesn’t love
you! I DO!” Shouted Mono.
Shiva looked at him with wide
eyes and an open mouth, she was in total shock.
Mono’s eyes went wide when he
realized what he said and covered his mouth.
Of all the times I say my
feeling to her, why now!? He
thought.
Shiva slowly said, “You….love
me?”
Mono slowly nodded.
She then stared angrily at Mono
and said, “Now I see…your jealous.”
“What?” Said Mono.
“You’ve always hated
“That’s not true! I’m telling
you he is cheating on you and he doesn’t love you!” Said Mono yelling too which
was a first.
“Well, too bad. Maybe if you
weren’t such a shy boy and spoke more maybe I would have gone out with you.”
Said Shiva.
“Well maybe if you weren’t such
a brat and obnoxious all the time I would have told you!” Yelled Mono.
“I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!”
Said Shiva walking away.
“FINE!” Said Mono walking in the
other direction.
But as they walked away from
each other in anger, neither noticed a tear fall from the other’s eye.
***
(Later)
Mono was furious.
Him?! Jealous?! And a liar!?
Sure he was a bit jealous when
Shiva was going out with
I don’t care anymore…if she
wants to go with that guy who cares!? I don’t! He thought on his way home.
He didn’t notice the others,
minus Shiva, were up ahead of him towards his house.
“Hey Mono! What’s up?!” Asked
Blue, but then noticed he was angry. So did everyone else.
While Fox was the one who knew
what had happened, everyone else was confused.
Mono just kept walking away from
them.
“Hey, you alright?” Asked Maegan
as she and the other were walking with him.
“I’m fine.” Said Mono not in the
mood.
“No, your not you need something
to cheer you up!” Said Blue landing in front of him.
“No I don’t.” Said Mono walking
past her.
“Come on, if you have a problem
tell us.” Said Hero.
“Yeah, come one oh great quiet
one.” Said Maxi.
Mono kept saying, “Just leave me
alone.”
Blue then said, “I know! Singing
always makes everyone feel happy!” She then started to sing some annoying song
from who knows when.
Mono couldn’t take it any more
and shouted, “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!”
Everyone just stared at him like
he grew three heads.
Mono never yelled, ever.
Mono just sighed and said,
“Please….just leave me alone.” He then ran to his house leaving the group in
shock.
“Did Mono just yell?” Said Blue
speaking first.
“Yeah, wow, I never thought I
would see the day.” Said Rex trying to figure out what was wrong.
“Mono yelled.” Said Blue still
shocked.
“What’s bugging him?” Asked Rex
out loud.
“Mono yelled.” Said Blue still
shocked.
“My guess is someone stole his
comics or other drawings. The guy is sensitive around that stuff.” Said Maxi.
“Mono yelled!” Shouted Blue.
Rex slapped his head, “Yes Blue,
Mono yelled, we all heard!”
Blue then started freaking out
and said, “Don’t you guys get it! IT’S THE SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!” She still kept screaming and flying
around the street like crazy.
Everyone just raised an eyebrow
and decided to ignore the insane one.
“O…k…So anyway, what are we
going to do about Mono?” Asked Rex.
“RUN FOR THE HILLS!! FOR WE ARE
POWERLESS AGAINST THE WRAITH OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF DOOM!!! THE END IS UPON
US!! REPENT! REPENT!” Yelled Blue, still doing….what ever the hell it is.
“I know what’s wrong with him.”
Said Fox.
Everyone, but Blue of course,
looked at him.
“What’s wrong?” Asked Maxi.
Fox was about to say something
when Blue shouted again, “ALL IS DOOMED! WOMEN, CHILDREN, AND CHEESE MUST HEAD
TO THE BUNKERS FIRST!! SAVE YOUR SOULS FROM DAMNATION!!”
“I’ll tell you later. For now
I’m going to go see if he’s alright.” Said Fox running after Mono.
“So what should we do while we
wait?” Asked Maegan.
“THE BLACK APOCOLYPTIC SKIES
RAIN WITH ONLY DEATH!! WHY HAS GOD FORSAKEN US!!!! WHY!!!!” Screamed Blue as
she kept flying around. Also incase your wondering why none of the neighbors
told her to shut up yet, is because everyone knows when Blue is screaming, you
can’t stop her.
“Is their off button or something
on this thing or I’m I going to have to knock her out!” Said Maxi annoyed.
“Well, we can wait till she
passes out or I can do this…” Said Rex who shouted, “Hey Blue, theirs cheese
flavored ice cream at the parlor today!”
Blue stopped yelling and flying and
said, “Oh boy!” She then started flying to the ice cream parlor.
“Nice work.” Said Hero.
“Now what?” Asked Maxi.
“I guess we wait.” Said Maegan
still worried about Mono.
***
(At Mono’s house)
Mono just dumped his book bag on
the floor and headed to his room. He then sat on his desk and….cried.
Why was he crying? Gee, I don’t
know. If you got into an argument with your best friend, who happens to be the
person you like, and say to each other you never want to see the other again,
then yeah you would cry.
Mono wiped the tears from his
eyes and thought; If she doesn’t want to see me again fine…I don’t want to
see her too.
He just picked up all his
drawing of Shiva, which were a lot, and threw them in a garbage can. He then
sat on his desk and decided to go back to work on his comics, but his mind was
still bothering him.
Thinking music might help, Mono
turned on the radio and a song started playing:
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
Mono just listened to the song.
He sighed; he really didn’t want to break his friendship with Shiva. Not now,
not ever.
He then noticed something on his
desk. He picked it up and looked at it. It was Shiva, smiling. He drew it the
first day they became friends.
He smiled at the picture and
sighed, with a sad look on his face.
“Who I’m I kidding…..I still
love her….of all the girls in the universe, why her?” He asked. Why did I
fall in love with an uptown girl?
“I keep wondering the same
thing.” Said Fox as he entered Mono’s room which made him jump.
“Fox!...What are you doing
here?” Mono asked.
“I came to see if you were alright.
I never heard you yell before and the others were worried.” Said Fox.
Mono felt guilty about yelling
to his friends and said, “I’m sorry.”
Fox sat on Mono’s bed and said,
“So I guess it went bad huh?”
Mono nodded and explained what
happened
Fox nodded and said, “I guessed
this would happen.”
“Why is love so complicated?”
Asked Mono.
Fox smiled, “If I knew that I
would ask why I fell for my best friend a long time ago.”
Mono looked at Fox, “You mean
you DO like Maegan.”
Fox nodded, “Yeah, I guess you
can only ignore her attempts for so long before you actually want to be with
her.”
“Why don’t you tell her?” Asked Mono.
“Because I don’t know how to say
it…..but I think she knows anyway.” Said Fox thinking about his first friend,
but then said, “Still, we have to find some way to convince Shiva that you were
telling the truth and that slime ball is lying to her.”
“I don’t know what to do….” Said
Mono thinking it was hopeless.
Fox sighed and said, “Shiva’s
the one you love right?”
Mono nodded.
“You’re not going to give up
just like that right?” Said Fox, “You’re really going to let Shiva get her
heart broken by this jerk?”
Mono realized what Fox was
saying and said, “No….I’m going to prove it to her.”
Fox nodded and said, “Good, but
were going to have to let her see it for herself that
“But how?” Asked Mono.
Fox grinned, “With a little help
from some friends.”
***
(Later, at Pizza Doe)
Mono and Fox called all their
friends, except Shiva, to tell them what was going on and to ask for their
help.
When they finished, everyone
wanted to help expose the lying scum that
“So how should we do it?” Asked
Hero.
“I say we arm strangle him until
we beat a confession out of him.” Said Maxi looking to cause some pain. She may
not like Shiva that much, but she was still a friend.
“I don’t think that will work.”
Said Maegan.
“I know! We can tie him up! Pour
oil on his body! Light him on fire! Dance around him while he’s screaming in
pain! And then pee on him to get rid of the fire!” Said Blue.
Everyone looked at her like she
was mad.
“Blue, were trying to prove to
Shiva that
“Ohhh….well I got nothing else
then.” Said Blue giggling.
The others decided to just
forget what she said.
“Don’t worry I got a plan. And
it involves all of us.” Said Rex pulling out his lap top.
***
Rex’s plan was to be done in
certain steps.
The first was tracking down
They only saw Leon leave school,
go home, and go on dates with different girls at different times, including
Shiva.
But one thing the found out was
he always went to a Cyber Café in the mall every Wednesday between
After reporting this they
figured that would be the place to expose
Next, they needed the number of
any of the girls, other then Shiva, that
Now that they had a place where
So Rex gave Maegan and Fox the
next part.
***
(Three days before the final
operation)
We see Fox, Hero, Rex, and Mono
all outside on a lunch table at school while Maegan, Maxi, and Blue were at
another one.
While they were eating Shiva walked
past the boy’s table and Mono and Shiva glared at each other, even though Mono
was only acting. When Shiva sat down, Maegan got up and walked over to where
Fox was and said, “Hey Fox.”
“Yes Maegan?” Asked Fox without
a care in the world.
“How about you and me go out for
a date next week?” Asked Maegan smiling.
Fox sighed and said, “Fine….I
give up…”
Shiva almost choked on her food
when she heard that and paid full attention, as would any girl trying to get
the good gossip of the day.
“Great! See you later.” Said
Maegan who walked back to her seat humming. Of course, this was all acting,
much to Meagan’s disappointment. Why did Fox and Maegan have to act like they
were going to go on a date? You’ll find out soon, trust me.
***
(Day of the operation. Target:
It was time.
Rex, with his laptop, was
currently sitting on a metal bench right next to the fountain that could be
seen when entering on the east side of the mall. He had a brown shirt that
said, “Pirates are better then Ninja’s” and it showed a computer in the front,
his red cap, and black jean shorts.
He typed a few keys and then put
a headset on, “O.k. guys you ready?”
“Fox here. I’m outside the
entrance waiting for
“Maegan here. Me and Blue are in
position.” Said Meagan’s voice in the receiver.
“Me and Maxi are on the second
floor. Were on hold.” Said Hero’s voice.
“I’m at the café.” Said Mono’s
voice, “Guys….thanks for everything.”
Rex smiled and said, “No
problem, Shiva may be a brat, but she’s still a friend.”
“I see
“O.k. everyone. Here we go.”
Said Rex who looked at the east entrance.
Not to soon later,
Fox took out his cell phone,
pressed a number and said, “I’ve started to follow him. I’ll call if anything
changes.”
Rex said, “Understood.” To his
headset. Thanks to Rex’s genius, he made the cell phones the ability to call
him via laptop and he could talk and hear them through his headset.
Rex looked at his clock on the
laptop; it was
Time to call Shiva.
“Maegan, your up.” Said Rex.
“On it.” Said Maegan.”
***
(At the North entrance in the
mall)
Maegan was dialing on her cell
phone, she had a yellow shirt that said “Fuzzy Things are cute” in red and blue
short jeans. Blue was right next to her in Blue jacket with a yellow stripe
down the sleeves and blue jeans. She said, “Think Shiva will buy this?”
“After what Fox and me did and
what I’m about to tell her? She won’t resist.” Said Maegan who finished
dialing.
“Hello?” Asked Shiva on the
line.
“Shiva? It’s me Maegan.”
“What do you want rabbit?” Asked
Shiva.
“Listen, you know about that
date I got on Fox next week? I need your help in finding some good clothes to
wear. Blue was helping me, but she’s not good for this kind of thing.” Said
Maegan.
“Duh, I mean if she could get a
sense of style she won’t look half as ridiculous as she acts.” Said Shiva, “But
sure, I can help. After all, who knows best in fashion? Where are you?”
“At the North Entrance by the
mall.” Said Maegan.
“See you there then.” Said Shiva
who hung up.
Blue frowned and said, “A part
of me is tempted to let her still go out with that loser for that comment.”
“Lighten up.” Maegan said as she
called Rex.
***
“Rex? It’s Maegan, Shiva is on
her way.” Rex heard on his receiver.
“Alright, by my calculations,
she should be there in about 20 minutes, wait for her there and head off into
some kind of clothes store that’s not near
“Got it.” Said Maegan who hung
up.
Rex then said to his receiver,
“Fox where is
“The guy is a pervert.” Said Fox
through the receiver.
“Why?” Asked Rex.
“He just bought 4 different
Playboy magazines and bribed the casher to not tell anyone.” Said Fox, “Wait,
he’s now heading to a music store. I’ll tell you when he exits.”
Rex sighed, It’s a good thing
were getting rid of this guy for Shiva.
Rex waited for 20 minutes till
Maegan called and said, “I saw Shiva’s car. I’ll call if a problem arises.”
“O.k.” Said Rex who then said to
everyone, “Shiva is here. Where’s Leon, Fox?”
“He’s traveling down on the
second floor near Sears.” Said Fox.
“O.k., Maegan and Blue are
talking Shiva to a place called “Girls World” or something. It’s on the first
floor and is around the other side of the mall.” Said Rex.
“Got it.” Said Fox.
Rex waited and when it was
He clicked a few keys and a
keypad appeared on his screen. He dialed
“Hello?” Asked
“Hey baby (Rex felt weird saying
this), it’s me.” Said Rex using
“
“Listen, can you meet me at the
Cyber Café in the mall around
“Sure, see you soon. Love you.”
Said
“Love you too.” Said Rex who
hung up. Now to call
Once again he punched in
“Hello?” Asked
“Hey, baby.” Said Rex, who felt
like was going to barf after this call.
“Hey
“I wanted you to meet me at the
Cyber Café at
“Well…alright, anything for my
girl.” Said Leon who said goodbye and hung up.
Rex was glad that was over and
done with. He checked the clock and it said 5:10 PM. Alice had to have arrived
already.
“O.k., where is everyone?” Asked
Rex.
“This is Fox;
“This is Hero, me and Maxi are
not to far from there.”
“I’m still at the café;
“This is Maegan. Were heading to
another store on the second floor. It’s called “Paws”.
Rex looked at the map and
gasped, “We have a problem!
“What do we do?!” Asked Fox.
“Don’t worry. Maxi and Hero are
going to distract
***
Distract him? How? Thought Fox as he saw
Fox then noticed something. It
was Hero, dressed in plain orange shirt and blue pants. He was walking past
Everyone looked at him and some
people were asking him if he was alright.
“GASP!!! COUGH! COUGH! MY
ASTHMA! COUGH!! COUGH!!...GASP! Can’t….breathe….” Said Hero sounding weaker and
weaker as he fell to his knees.
Wait a minute….Hero doesn’t
have Asthma….Rex does. Thought
Fox when he realized Hero was acting.
“Hold on Kid. Breathe kid!
Breathe!” Said a male lion as other people started to crowd around, including
“……seeing…light…..goner…..good…bye…”
Said Hero who fell on his back, playing dead. Hey, he’s a dog. He’s bound to
know the skills.
“SOMEBODY CALL 911!” Said
someone as they tried to call for help. Some even were crying for Hero,
actually thinking he was gone. Wow, Hero should try for the next school play.
***
(Meanwhile on the opposite side
of the second floor)
Maegan, Blue, and Shiva were
just about to enter when Shiva noticed a large crowd on the other side.
“What’s going on?” Asked Shiva.
Realizing this was the distraction
Maegan said, “Oh nothing I bet, let’s go.”
Shiva looked once more before
going into the store.
***
(Back at the performance)
“Hold on! I know CPR!” Said someone
in the crowd who stepped forward.
Fox snickered; it was Maxi, in a
red jacket that said, “Wild Cat” on the back and in black jeans, who said that.
Oh this will be good. Thought Fox as he watched Maxi get to her
knees and acted like she knew what to do. Of course, all she had to do was pump
the chest a few times and then came the gross part….giving mouth to mouth.
That’s why Fox though it was so
funny.
He would have laughed out loud
if he knew Maxi and Hero were blushing every time she did the mouth to mouth
thing.
Thinking that 5 times was enough
she whispered to Hero when she went down for the final mouth to mouth part,
“Quiet playing dead.”
Hero then pretended to cough as
he slowly got up and acted surprised by saying, “Wow…I’m back….thanks.”
Everyone then started clapping
and asking if Hero was alright.
Fox’s cell phone rang and he
answered it, “Fox, did
“No, the distraction worked,
he’s on his way.” Said Fox.
“Good, just keep tailing him.”
Said Rex who hung up.
When the crowd finally
separated, Fox walked over to the two best friends and asked, “So Hero, did you
see the afterlife?”
Hero laughed.
Fox then asked, “Where did you
come up with the idea?”
“I did, we flipped to see who
would be the faker and who would be the rescuer.” Said Maxi smiling.
Fox smiled, “Well, I get to get
going. I loved the scene where you kiss by the way. Wish I could see you guys
do that more often.” Fox walked away snickering while Maxi and Hero blushed and
nervously looked at each other.
Maxi was glad nobody knew she
used a double headed coin to be the one to kiss Hero.
***
Mono was in the Cyber Café
watching
“Hey your late.” Said
Mono rolled his eyes.
“Aw, your so sweet.” She said
kissing him as he kissed back.
Mono pulled out his cell and
called Rex telling him Leon and Alice were together.
***
“Great, now we can get Shiva in
there and expose him.” Said Rex who then called Maegan and said, “Maegan, bring
Shiva to the Cyber Café.”
“Right.”
***
(At Paws)
Maegan had put away her cell
phone and walked over to Blue and said, “Time to bring Shiva to the Café.”
Blue nodded, “Finally, shopping
with Shiva is as bad as shopping with my sister.”
The two of them walked over to
Shiva, who was looking through some clothes and Maegan said, “Say, Shiva? How
about we go for something at the Cyber Café?”
Shiva thought about it and said,
“Naw, let’s a smoothie at the Ice Cream Pallor.”
“Are you sure? I feel in the
mood for a nice latte.” Said Maegan acting calm, but was really getting
worried.
“Naw, Ice Cream for me.” Said
Shiva.
“Me too!” Said Blue wanting it.
Maegan nudged her and said,
“Blue!”
Blue then whispered, “Oh
right…ummmm say Shiva!”
Shiva asked, “What?”
“Do you need to go to the
bathroom?” Asked Blue.
Shiva simply answered, “No.”
“Really, you don’t feel the need
to go and take a nice pee?” Asked Blue calmly.
“…..no.” Said Shiva getting
freaked out.
“Uh, Blue.” Said Maegan, but
Blue ignored her and said, “You don’t feel the sudden need of running water and
other liquids running through your gallbladder that feels the need to burst
right out like a dam!”
“Your gross.” Said Shiva.
“Blue!”
“What?!” Asked Blue annoyed she
was interrupted.
“Shiva’s species doesn’t pee.”
Said Maegan like it was a fact.
Blue’s eyes widened and she
stared at Shiva, “Really?!”
Shiva nodded in annoyance.
“Wow……and you called me a freak.”
Said Blue.
Shiva gritted her teeth.
“Who else do we know that
doesn’t pee?” Asked Blue, now curious.
“CAN WE GET OFF THE SUBJECT ON
PEEING!!?” Shouted Shiva which got a few glances from other people.
“Right, but now that I think
about it, I have to go. Come with me!” Said Blue grabbing Shiva and heading to
the girls room.
“Wait! Why me!?” Asked Shiva
who’s cry went unanswered.
Maegan called Rex.
***
Rex answered and said, “The
Wizard is speaking.”
“We have a problem. Shiva wants
to go to the Ice Cream Parlor instead of the Cyber Café.” Said Maegan.
“Where is she now?” Asked Rex.
“Escorting Blue to the
bathroom.” Said Maegan.
“Why do women always have to go
with someone?” Asked Rex.
“It’s a girl thing.” Said Maegan
who hung up.
Rex then called Hero and said,
“You guys have another job to do, but this time it’s sabotage.”
He heard Maxi laughing with
glee.
“Anyway, somehow, not make the
Ice Cream Shop close, in a non-lethal version so we don’t get sued.” Said Rex.
“Roger.” Said Hero.
***
(Ice Cream Parlor)
Maxi and Hero ran in just in
time.
“O.k. should we do the fake
asthma thing again?” Asked Hero,
“Naw, we need something better.”
Said Maxi looking around.
She then noticed only a few
people were working.
She grinned. Hero frowned; it
was that grin that got Maxi, and sometimes him, in trouble.
“What is the evil idea in your
mind now?” Asked Hero.
Maxi grinned and said, “Order as
much Ice Cream as you can, I’ll be in the back doing some work.” She then
started running to the back.
“Maxi wait!” Said Hero, but too
late. He sighed and said to himself, “Oh well, at least I get ice cream.”
He walked over to the counter
and said, “Hi, I like 3 orders of every flavor you have.”
The casher, a moose, went wide
eyed and said, “Are you sure kid?”
Hero nodded and began his
dessert feast.
***
(Meanwhile, at Paws)
Maegan watched as Shiva and Blue
came back from the bathroom. Blue looked normal…….o.k. as normal as can
be…….and Shiva was angry, no wait, very angry.
“Are you o.k?” Asked Maegan.
Shiva gritted her teeth and said,
“Who….on earth……sits in a stall for 10 minutes….and sings while she does her
business…..”
“Oh I do! I do!” Said Blue
waving her hand up and down.
“I know that!” Yelled Shiva,
“Let’s just get some ice cream before I kill anything colored blue.”
So they did.
***
(Ice Cream Pallor)
So one by one Hero started
eating different kinds of Ice Cream. Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Kiwi,
Tofu, Bacon, Orange, Mint, Cookie Dough, Fish, Sherbet and so on and so forth.
“Wow, you eat a lot kid.” Said
the moose as he and his coworkers kept handing in all the flavors.
Hero just ate them like lightning,
how he does it and stay thin is unknown to anyone, even his doctor.
Then…
BOOM!!
Hero ducked in time as a bunch
of explosions occurred in the back and ice cream was splattered everywhere
making it a huge mess and everyone else, but Hero who ducked in time, was
covered in melted ice cream. Oh and there were fires in the back.
The employees grabbed fire
extinguishers and started putting the fire out. Hero however was worried.
Oh no. Maxi was in their!
What if…what if…
“BOO!”
“AGH!” Screamed Hero who jumped.
He then turned around and saw Maxi, arms crossed.
“Your o.k.!” He said with joy
and hugged her.
Maxi blushed as she was getting
hugged by the person who she secretly crushed on.
Hero realized what he did and
let go while blushing, “Sorry. I thought, for a second, you were in the
explosion.”
Maxi grinned and said, “Yeah I
was, I died and used up one of my nine lives so here I am again.”
Hero playfully punched her who
punched back.
“So what did you do anyway?”
Asked Hero who was curious.
“Oh nothing much, I just let
loose some Cherry bombs in the mixers.” Said Maxi grinning.
Hero’s mouth went wide, “Cherry
bombs! How did you…..forget it! I don’t want to know.”
Maxi grinned as she took out her
cell and called Rex, “Hey buck boy. We did it, what now.”
“Get out of there. Shiva can’t
see you and Hero. Head on over to the Cyber Café. Fox and me are going to meet
you there.” Said Rex who dialed off.
She told Hero to follow her and
they moved out.
Shiva and the others arrived two
minutes later and found the place ruined.
Dang, what did Maxi and Hero
do? Thought both Blue
and Maegan.
“Great, fate must hate me
today.” Said Shiva.
“So let’s go to the Cyber Café.”
Said Maegan.
Shiva sighed, “Fine.”
