A little dabble that I thought off while listening to U2-Elevation and Rihanna-don't stop the music. This is just a short story and it's not the sequel to should I tell her either. But characters from that story are in this one too. That includes Angelina, Brad and Johnny.
Angelina, Brad and Johnny sat in the Parr's living room watching TV. Instead of watching the television, Angelina's eyes were glued on Brad. She had a dreamy look on her face. Dash stood at the doorway watching her and occasionally looking daggers at Brad. Dash stormed off to the kitchen where Violet sat while her mother crimped her hair. Violet and her friends were going on a night out and Violet decided to use the hair crimper her Grandma had bought her for Christmas.
'What does he have that I don't have?' Dash moaned.
Violet and Helen couldn't help but laugh.
'Hey it's not funny. I bet he doesn't even like her as girlfriend material. She suits me better. He's just lame. Nothing special about him.' Dash frowned.
'Champ, Angelina's probably interested in boys her own age.' Helen smiled softly.
'Can't she wait for me?' Dash whined.
'I bet she wishes she could.' Helen continued to crimp Violet's hair.
'So she likes me then?' Dash asked hopefully.
'Mom, see what you've put into his little mushed up head now.' Violet rolled her eyes. Dash chose to ignore her comment and continued to sulk.
Back in the living room, Johnny pulled out his cell and called Tony.
'Hey dude! Are you still coming with us tonight? Awesome. See you there mate.' Angelina and Brad watched as Johnny talked to Tony over the phone. He sometimes made goofy faces to make people laugh so they had learnt that when he is on the phone, always look at him.
'All done Vi.' Helen quickly ran her fingers through her daughter's hair before putting the crimper away.
'Thanks mom.' Violet smiled and headed upstairs to get changed. Just then, Helen's cell phone went off.
'My third text today.' Helen thought aloud. Helen's face suddenly dropped.
'Who's it off?' Dash asked grumpily.
'It's off Sarah saying that she needs me to come round and help her decorate for her tea party tomorrow. Oh right, I promised her that I would. Shoot.' Helen slapped herself on the forehead.
'I'm not going with you.' Dash jumped out of his chair.
'You'll have to with Violet and her friends.' Helen said as she ran up the stairs to get Violet.
Dash headed back to the living room to see what the rest of them were doing.
'So, Angelina. Where are we actually going tonight?' Brad asked.
'First we are meeting Tony at the Shell Shocker café. Then, we're going to that new club on Rhona Street. Basically it's just a night out. Shopping, partying and then later on we're heading down to the beach to see the sunset.' Angelina smiled.
'Sounds good.' Johnny grinned.
'I think we should spend a few hours in the club, maybe then shop for a bit, then head down to watch the sunset and stay there for a few hours maybe. Then head back to the club and do more shopping. We know you girls love your shopping and all.' Brad laughed.
'Yeah, that could work.' Angelina giggled.
'Violet.' Helen knocked on her daughter's bedroom door before she walked in.
'Yeah mom?' Violet turned to look at her mother.
'We have a bit of a problem.' Helen sat down on Violet's bed.
'I promised to help Sarah decorate for her posh tea party tomorrow. Can Dash go out with you are your friends?' Helen smiled.
'What?!' Violet exclaimed.
'Dash doesn't really want to sit and watch us decorate so I though that he might like to go on the night out. Honey please, there is no one to baby sit Dash and I'm definitely not leaving him alone.' Helen stood up.
'What about Jack-Jack?' Violet folded her arms.
'He's coming with me; he can play with Sara's daughter Mia.' Helen grinned.
'Well if he promises not to be a little annoying insect, then he can come. Maybe. I'll talk to the rest of them.' Violet pursed her lips.
With that, Helen and Violet walked back down stairs. Helen headed back to the kitchen and Violet went to the living room.
Helen found Dash sulking again. He sat cross-legged on the floor with his arm folded and a frown across his face.
'What's wrong now sport?' Helen asked as she noticed Dash on the floor.
'Leave me alone.' He muttered.
'Is this to do with Brad and Angelina?' Helen crouched down next to her son.
'Maybe.' He sighed. Before Helen could say anything, Dash began to explain.
'Every time Angelina speaks to Brad, she always has a dreamy look on her face and she's forever looking at him. Why can't she pay attention to me? Like me instead of him?' Dash looked up at his mom.
Little did they know, Angelina was on the other side of the kitchen door listening. She had gone to fetch her handbag she had left in there, she had heard Helen mention her and Brad's names so decided not to go in but just listen. She was in total shock she heard that Dash liked her. She could tell by the way he was speaking that he truly madly deeply liked her.
'Mom, I really like her but I bet she only thinks of me as a stupid kid. I wouldn't even say that I like her. Mom, I love her. It had just been a little crush which grew over the years and now its proper passionate love.' Dash told his mom.
'Wow, I never heard you speak like that before.' Helen smiled.
Back in the living room, Violet had told Brad and Johnny about the whole situation with her mom going out and Dash having to go with them.
'Yeah sure dude. Your little bro is wicked.' Johnny laughed.
'Yeah, it'll be fun with him around.' Brad smiled. Angelina walked back into the room with a look of shock plastered across her face.
'Angie you okay?' Violet asked as Angelina sat on the sofa next to her.
'I'm so stupid.' Angelina slapped her forehead.
'Why?' Violet whispered.
'All these years and I never knew. Vi, did you know that your brother was in love with me?' Angelina turned to look at her best friend.
'Well, I did but he told me never to say anything because he was scared of what you might think.' Violet smiled sheepishly.
'Doesn't he know that I'm not that type of girl?' Angelina sighed.
'I told him but he still told me not to say a word.' Violet put a hand on her friend's shoulder.
'Should I say anything?' Angelina asked.
'Maybe, look Angelina. I don't know how Dash would take it. He might be really embarrassed and we both know what he's like when he gets embarrassed.' Violet laughed.
'Um…girls? I think you should be getting ready.' Brad pointed at his watch.
'Oh right.' Angelina nodded and the two girls headed upstairs to change.
'Ever thought about telling Angie how you feel?' Helen whispered as she noticed Violet and Angelina go upstairs.
'Yeah but she might think I'm just a stupid kid with a crush and never talk to me again.' Dash sighed.
'Angelina isn't that type of girl Dash. You know that yourself. She'll appreciate that you had the guts to tell her that you love her and maybe, just maybe, she may like you back. But I'm not saying she does but you can hope.' Helen stood up and so did Dash.
'I'm stuck between a rock and a beautiful girl.' Dash smiled slightly and walked to the living room.
'Heard you were coming on the night out with us.' Johnny smiled as he saw Dash walk in.
'Yep.' Dash grinned.
'Totally awesome dude.' Johnny laughed.
Dash smiled and headed to his room to get changed as well.
'I'm going to wear my black jeans with my long black top with my kiwi belt.' Angelina said as she pulled out the outfit.
'Kiwi belt?' Violet smiled, obviously amused.
'Yeah, the red one with the glittery black twirls on it.' Angelina held the belt up for Violet to see.
'Why do you call it the kiwi belt?' Violet asked, looking at it.
'First word that popped into my head when I first saw it.' Angelina laughed. Violet just simply smiled and shook her head.
'You're a nutcase.' Violet giggled.
Dash changed into some blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt and his light blue trainers. Happy with what he was wearing, he plodded back down stairs.
'Looking good little dude.' Johnny grinned and high fived Dash.
Violet grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans and a long red top.
'Hey Angelina. Now we can match but just in different colours' Violet smiled as she held up her outfit.
'Cool.' Angelina grinned and proceeded to change into her outfit, Violet started to change too.
Minutes later, they were both ready apart from one thing.
'What shoes should I wear?' They asked in unison.
'Wear those purple flats that Tony bought you for your birthday.' Angelina offered.
'Okay. You should wear those red shoes to match your belt.' Violet pointed over at the red shoes in Angelina's bag.
'Great idea.' Angelina grinned.
The two girls wondered back into the living room seconds later. Angelina and Violet had both put on a bit of makeup also. Angelina put some black eyeliner on and some light brown eye shadow. Violet had opted for brown eyeliner and light green eye shadow.
'So, everyone ready?' Helen asked as she walked into the room.
'Yeah.' They all said.
'See you later.' Helen waved them goodbye as the five kids walked out of the front door and headed down to Shell Shocker café.
