Title: The Night After

Author: censored love

Author's Notes: This is my second Shake It Up! Story. I'm so excited to have this done! Tinka and Gunther are totally my favorite characters! Hopefully, they aren't too OOC. ;)

Summary: What if Tinka's night did not end after her date with Ty? What if something horrible and terrible happened? (Rated T for Themes)

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Shake It Up! Then Tinka would be a main character! :D


Tinka Hessenheffer did not know how the heck she got herself into this mess, as Ty lay knocked out on the floor and Gunther hovering over him. When he made sure Ty would stay down, the blonde headed boy turned to her. His normally cool demeanor vanished; his eyes vivid with emotion, elicited a small gasp from the girl, dropping her stuffed pickle. Noticing her trembling frame and frightened facial expression, his eyes softened. He took a step towards her. She took a step back, still shaking.

"Tinka," He starts. She puts up a hand. She shakes her head.

"Save it. I don't... I can't… I, I gotta go." She runs, leaving him behind.

She did not stop until she reached the park. It was so cliché, but at the moment she just did not care. Resting her quivering body on a wooden bench, she began to cry. As she wept, she tried to figure out how it started. Why did her sweet baby brother Gunther punch Ty? All Ty had done was taken her on a date like he had paid him to do. It didn't make sense. Then when Ty took her home, he kissed her. After that, it happened so fast. Ty was pulled forcefully away from her. It had taken a few seconds to register what had actually happened. What she gazed upon, well you already know.

She did not mind that he broke the kiss. It was sloppy and wet. What she did mind was him knocking out her date. The fact that her normal calm and collected brother could go off into such a violent attack scared her. How did she not see this? It did not make sense.

As the moon lowered itself in the sky, her tears began to subside, leaving tracks coursing down her cheeks. She knew he was there. Watching her. Trying to decide if it was safe to come over. She sniffed and curled herself into a ball. He quietly draped himself on the bench. Hesitantly, the blonde boy gently touched the girl. The action caused her to curl up even tighter. Throwing caution to the wind, Gunther wrapped his arms around Tinka. Upon feeling her brother's arms around her, Tinka holds onto him, beginning to cry again.

The security she experiences when he's there astounds her. Again she questions how this guy could have scared her so much, yet she feels so safe with him holding her. Her sobbing quietly ended, allowing herself to feel the warmth radiating from the normally betwinkled boy.

"Why?" She managed to croak out. His grip tightens on her.

"He was kissing you." He replied. She sniffled.

"What was wrong with him kissing me? Am I not supposed to kiss my date?" Tinka questioned. Gunther remained silent for a moment.

"Yes, but I did not like it. He told me he wouldn't be grabby-handy with you und he did. I did not want you to like it either, but you did. Und I acted like a chicken with it's head chopped off by grannymomma. I'm so sorry Tinkabell!" He apologized in a rush into her neck. She pulled away.

"You did all of that because you were jealous?" She exclaimed loudly. He tried to shush her, but she just stood up. "You punched my date, scared me half to death, and made me cry all because you were jealous!" Her voice rose hysterically. Gunther lowered his head.

"Yes." He whispered. She stared at him.

"I'm your sister! Sis-ter! How could you be jealous!" Gunther kept his head bowed. A horrible realization dawned on Tinka. She staggered back from the bench.

"You were jealous. Our conversation earlier, when you thought…" She trailed off. Gunther again kept his head bowed.

"I am so sorry Tinkabell." She shook her head.

"Gunther, you, you… I will never love you." She hissed; her cheeks flushed.

"I know." He answered, his head drooping even more. She turned away from him.

"Goodbye, brother." She spat out venomously, walking out of the park, out of his life.

It was then Gunther's turn to cry.


I almost began crying when I wrote this… scratch that, I did. Tinka did not seem as receptive of Gunther's idea of them getting married in Add It Up! I thought it was hilarious, but I couldn't help thinking about Gunther really having feelings for Tinka. How would he have reacted if he had seen Tinka and Ty kissing after the date, even though in the show it was just a peck on the cheek. I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review! No flames!

Much Love,
