The End?
================================
Tommy felt triumphant over the defeat of the Mertonator. The gang felt proud of them selves after defeating an overly persistent cyborg and decided to go to the Hungry Bucket to celebrate. Once they ordered their food, Tommy noticed that both Lori and Merton were acting a bit downcast.
"Guys, what's wrong? We just defeated an impossible enemy, shouldn't we be all hyper and happy?" Tommy asked his miserable friends. Neither Lori or Merton answered him, and to be honest Tommy was getting worried.
"I don't know Tommy, somehow the events of today have culminated towards a very depressing realization." Merton finally said, being careful not to look at Tommy. Before Tommy even had a chance to begin to understand what Merton meant Lori piped in,
"Yea I mean, no offence but I though what we had was a permanent thing, I'm not looking forward to ending what we have."
Tommy had no idea what his friends were talking about, what was ending?
"Guys, what are you talking about? What's ending?" Tommy asked his depressed friends, and was stunned at their reactions. Merton suddenly looked up at him with intense anger in his eyes, and for the life of him, Tommy could not figure out where his best friend's anger was coming from.
"Tommy! Don't you ever listen? What do you mean what's ending? Bah!" Merton yelled as he got up and walked away from the table. "I thought we were best friends, I guess that doesn't hold much meaning or you." Merton called back over his shoulders before taking off at a quick run towards his hearse.
Tommy had never seen Merton display so much anger before, specially towards him (not counting of course when he was a vampire and a werewolf, he couldn't help it then, he was evil). This was a side of Merton Tommy definitely did not want to see more often. Sure, Tommy always encouraged him to stand up for himself, but He had never given Merton any cause to be so angry with him. Tommy turned to Lori and again, was surprised at the barely conserved rage he was in her eyes. What could he have done to anger his friends so?
"Lori, what is wrong with you two tonight? You both look like you want to kill me." Tommy pleaded with Lori, but again, he ran into a brick wall.
"How can you sit there and not know what is the problem Tommy. I swear, sometimes you can be so dense. I guess that explains alot." Lori said and like Merton, got up and left Tommy by himself. This was a night to remember to say the least.
Tommy VO
What could I have done? What are they talking about?! What did I do? I'm going to have to try to get things in order soon.
Tommy went home that night downcast. Not only were his friends upset with him, but also after the whole scene at the Bucket he couldn't eat what he ordered. Tommy was lost, not knowing what to do now. At times like these he would go to Merton and let him figure out what to do. But since Merton was angry with him he couldn't do that. To go to Lori would be like signing his death warrant so he couldn't go there either. So Tommy turned to the only source he still had.
"Hey Dean, can I talk to you for a sec?" Tommy asked his couch potato brother.
"Little bro, cant you see I'm in the middle of an I love Lucy Marathon. They just got a job at a candy factory and are messing up again." Dean looked back at the TV and laughed at Lucy's predicament "hehe, Lucy, you always have a hair brained scheme."
Tommy stood his ground, Dean could be difficult to handle especially when he was watching TV but when Tommy needed Dean, and his big brother always came through.
Three minutes later a commercial came on and Dean turned to Tommy.
"Ok lil bro, what's the problem?" Dean asked Tommy. Keeping one eye glued to the TV set.
Tommy took a deep breath and started his recount.
"Well Dean, me, Merton and Lori were at the factory tonight, and for no reason that I could see they both went off the deep end. They are angry with me, and I don't know why! Merton told me that I wasn't a good best friend and Lori told me I was dense. Got any advice?" Tommy asked his big brother.
Dean took a deep breath and eyes Tommy up and down. He sat up a bit on the Lazy-boy and motioned to Tommy to take a seat on the couch.
"Did you say anything out of the ordinary?" Dean asked Tommy. Tommy took a second to think and the shook his head. "Did you ditch them for like a few minutes?" again, Tommy said no. "Well, did you gloat after winning a game of bowling?" Tommy chuckled to himself, the last thing they did was play a game of bowling, tough Tommy did pull off a great strike with the body of the borg.
"No Dean, I can't think of a thing that would make Merton or Lori be so mad at me all of a sudden." Tommy said, a bit on the down side.
"Lil bro, you must have said or done something to upset them. They are your friends and I have always known them to be there for you. They can't all of a sudden decide that they are mad at you. Talk to them, maybe they will tell you what you did if you ask them nice enough." Dean said, but at that moment his show came back on. Dean lost all interest in what he and Tommy were talking about, the TV had his undivided attention again.
"You know Dean you're rig..." Tommy began, but Dean put a stop to him mid sentence, "lil Bro, come on! The shows back on, pipe down and watch or go on your way!"
Tommy chuckled and went up to his room, giving Dean a quick pat on the back for good measure. Once Tommy got to his room, he decided to think about what had happened the last few days that could merit his friends attitudes.
Tommy VO.
Well I posed for the calendar, but that couldn't be it, I don't know why would both Merton and Lori would be mad at me over that. I asked them to give me a private moment with my look alike borg, but they poked fun at me for that so that couldn't be it. Let's see, Oh! I ordered for them when we got to the Hungry Bucket! Wait no, I've done that before and they were ok with that. I don't get it!
Suddenly Tommy was frustrated and angry with his friends. He could not see what he had done wrong, and how dare they take something out on him without an explanation?! That's it, I'm not going to worry about it anymore, when they want to they will tell me what was wrong, and besides they couldn't stay angry at him forever, could they?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two weeks passed and still, both Merton and Lori were still not speaking to him. Every time Tommy ran into either of them at school, they wouldn't even look at him and took great measures to avoid him. At lunch, Merton would get his food and sit with Lori in the far end of the Cafeteria, it took Tommy almost a week to spot them, and once he did, they moved again. When Tommy would go see Lori, Lori would give him an angry look and walk past him as if he wasn't even there
Tommy was getting really sick of the silent treatment, and decided to wait for Merton by his car after school. Merton showed up at around four o'clock looking slightly depressed. Tommy guessed that the Gothic Fantasy Guild wasn't going very smoothly. He felt sorry for his friend, but at the moment there were more pressing things he wished to discuss with Merton.
Merton got to his car and finally noticed Tommy leaning on it. To Tommy's displeasure he noticed that the moment Merton saw him, his eyes got that glassy angry look again.
"What do you want Tommy? I don't have time to hang around here tonight, I have some research I need to get done." Merton asked Tommy, his voice like ice. Tommy had second doubts about talking to Merton once he heard the anger in his voice, but he couldn't really spent the rest of his life without his best friend. Who would look out for him and his wolfy problem?
"Merton, I wanna know what's got you and Lori all worked up. It's been over two weeks since you guys have said a word to me, and I wanna know why? Its not like you guys to act like this." Tommy told Merton, half expecting to see him blow up again. To Tommy's surprise, Merton's eyes softened and his face took on that look he always got when he was sorry he had done something.
"Oh Tommy, look, if you don't know what's got me and Lori upset, you should be asking yourself what kind of friend you are. I mean, Lori and I always look out for you, we are always aware when you are upset or hurt or whatever." Merton said. Tommy thought that he was finally going to be forgiven, but suddenly Merton took on that angry look and his body went noticeably tense. "If you cant show us the same consideration Tommy, what is the point on going on with this sham. It's obvious you don't really care what's got us upset if you are standing here trying to figure it out. Now can you please move so I can get home to my research" Merton said with his icy voice.
Tommy did not know what to do, he thought he was getting somewhere with this conversation, but what now? He watched as Merton pulled out of the parking lot and went home. Totally depressed, Tommy set about going for a short walk perhaps to the park to do some thinking.
Tommy VO.
Wow, Merton hates me. I never thought Id see the day. He's acting like I did something so terrible. What could I have done?
Ten minutes later Tommy got to the park, he sat on a bench and looked at the stars. Memories were coming to him. He remembered all the talks he had had with his friends in this park, and all the monsters they fought together here. What could he have done to ruin all of that?
Suddenly he needed to talk to Lori. He wanted to find out all he could about what was happening. Tommy knew that Lori would not be any more willing to talk to him than Merton was, but if he was going to get anywhere he needed to talk to them and get to the bottom of all this.
Tommy wolfed out and ran all the way to Lori's house.
A/N Here's the first chapter, I hope you all enjoy, I am not sure how long this story will be, but I will try to make is exiting. I'm counting on encouragement from all of you, so please R&R. Feel free to email me any suggestions you may have or just to shout out. I don't bite (much).
