Right now I'm on a break from making the new chapter of iGo on an ANTventure, but here's a new one shot inspired by a deleted song from the 2007 Hairspray movie and set after The New York ExperiANTs. And yes, it's a Flyna story, because Olive and Fletcher broke up in the end and this is how Chyna would feel because she didn't give Fletcher a chance to be her true love.
So enjoy this story and leave comments! Also I don't own A.N.T. Farm, because if I did, there will be no Folive. EVER.
Italics: flashback conversations
Bold Italics: song
Chyna Parks wasn't able to sleep right that night, thinking about a guy she took for granted.
Fletcher.
She was oblivious to his feelings for her, but he had no idea that she'd feel the same way, until he dated her best friend Olive. Sure he was her best male friend too, but she didn't know it'll end like this.
Now she knew how it feels not knowing what she had until he's gone, as a tear fell from her eyes.
"Fletcher, since the day you showed up at my house, in a top hat and monocle, I knew I wanted you to be my friend forever."
"I don't care where I am, you're always going to be a part of my life."
Those parting words still lingered in her mind and she began to sing.
On my own, there's no chaperone
But my heart still is mine for the keeping
Chyna, take a rest; you can pass this test
You can still dream your dream while you're sleeping
Chyna: Is that a statue of my head made out of gum?
Fletcher: If it was, would you it was awesome and be flattered?
Chyna: Actually, I'd think it was gross.
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
If it's fate, let it be
'Cause now I see
I can wait
Chyna then got out of her room and into the roomvator, where she resumed her song.
Fletcher: Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Quimby are walking down the aisle.
Chyna: That is not the code we discussed.
Change takes time, it's a long hard climb
But I'll get to the top if I'm steady
And where love's concerned, well, I guess I've learned
Just to trust he'll be here when he's ready
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
Chyna: I have an idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!
Fletcher: We quit school and get married?
Olive: Ooh! Can I be the bridesmaid?
Chyna: How would that even help us?
Fletcher: Married people live longer!
Olive: Statistically, he is correct!
Chyna: We are not getting married!
I'll let fate set the day
It's okay
I can wait
Chyna: Fletcher, I don't want things to be weird between us anymore. You're one of my best friends, and I miss you. Make me the happiest girl in the world, and say you'll forgive me?
Fletcher: I do.
Chyna: I'm so glad things can go back to the way they were! 'Cause I love you... As a friend.
Fletcher: She said she loves me!
Plant the tiniest seed down below
Tend it well, and stand back
And just watch it grow
Watch me grow
At this rate, she has stepped off the roomvator and into the roof level of the building.
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
Fletcher: Don't you guys just love double dates?
Chyna: Fletcher, this isn't a double date.
Name the date, and say when
But 'til then
I can wait
By the time the music was ending, she was near to cry. If she only told him what she really felt for him.
"Fletcher, If I can only turn back time and undo the mistakes I made, I would have said I love you sooner... I just wish you'd come back to me..."
"Chyna?"
She heard that familiar voice. Could it be?
"Fletcher?"
"It's me."
She turned around and she was not dreaming- it was indeed Fletcher! Chyna ran to his arms, shouting his name and hugged him with her head in his shoulder.
"Oh Fletcher, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I never got to tell you what I felt."
While she was crying, he stroked her back and said, "You're not sorry, I am. Because I thought leaving you guys was the only way I can forget you and move on. I was wrong, maybe after all- like that movie's tagline said it best- Nothing's as big as your first love."
"When did you ever figure that one out?"
"I watched it, and reminded me of how I liked you."
Tears were shed out in her eyes and she said, "Fletcher, please, please never leave me again. It's just not the same without you."
"I was wishing for the same thing too Chyna."
He then lifted her chin and said, "Chyna, maybe it's time for me to say it. Chyna Ann Parks, Would you be my one and only true love, my life-long girlfriend until we finally say our vows?"
She had finally dried her tears but she finally uttered out, "Yes, Yes Fletcher Pumpernickel Quimby, I'd be happy to be your girlfriend, forever and always."
Fletcher then uttered out a loud "YES!" and carried her, spinning until he can't do no more. They were both happy as the full moon shone on them. Then all of a sudden someone said, "Finally!"
They stopped and saw Olive and she continued, "Well took you long enough for you to finally unlock what you feel about him, do you?"
Chyna said, "I guess you're right. But the good thing about it? We're finally boyfriend-girlfriend."
"Took you long enough Chyna! Well interesting factoid..."
While she was saying her trivia, the two paid no attention to her as they kissed at last. That was a night Chyna will never forget. She didn't care anymore how he got back to Z-Tech, but she's happy he came back for her.
(Chyna's narration)
"Love isn't about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums, proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing. Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there. Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn't even know was there."
"Hello?! I'm trying to give out some info here!"
The two were still kissing in the moonlight and were oblivious to Olive's complaint. All they care was they finally had their happy ending.
