The words slipped out of her mouth. It was a careless move. It was as if she were an idiot saying it. She felt so embarrassed. She should've been stuttering saying it. Maybe even saying it as if she were nervous. It was too late now though. The cat was out of the bag. That was it.
The man who stood in front of her laughed hysterically. He actually began crying. The young woman, who was annoyed, crossed her arms. She thought the man would take this in another direction. She had thought that he wouldn't even be in this state. He would be angry.
"Jesse, I'm serious!" The woman grunted at the laughing male.
The man blocked out the young woman's words, and continued to laugh uncontrollably. Having enough of his little act, the woman stepped on one of the man's feet, which caused him to yelp and stopped his laughing immediately.
"Ow, Petra!" the man complained, "What the heck?"
"Jesse, I'm serious." the young woman repeated. This time, the woman held up a small stick, and handed it to the man.
The man observed the little stick closely, and as soon as he realized what this meant, he yelped again, this time in fear. The stick went flying in the air, and with the woman's quick reflexes, the woman caught the stick in midair.
"You're serious?!" The man stuttered.
The young woman nodded. She knew what was coming next. The yelling. The screaming. The shoving. The young woman had wanted to cry.
She had hoped and prayed that the signs wouldn't come out positive with the stick, but things went awry real fast.
It had all started two weeks ago, the two and their teammates went to the beach as a way to cool off for the beginning of the summer.
'The Order of the Stone' had decided to go on vacation for a week as a reward for them working to protect other dimensions.
~Flashback~
The two girls had decided to lay out in the sun, while the three boys splashed in the sparkling blue ocean.
Everyone had given the legendary team smiles and gasping noises. Autographs were even asked for during their little walk down the beach shore.
"I can't believe we're relaxing." A brown haired woman spoke, "We've worked so hard I've forgotten the term of 'relaxing'."
Petra had chuckled slightly.
"Oh come on. We've relaxed on our missions."
"For only, like, five seconds." Olivia snorted.
Petra laughed again, this time with a little more heart into it.
"Alright you got me on that one." Petra replied.
The laughing of the three men grasped the girl's attention. They turned their to see Jesse soaked from head to toe in seawater, and Lukas and Axel laughing their heads off.
"What is all the commotion?" Olivia asked the two men snorting.
"It's something you wouldn't understand." Axel laughed, "You should come and join us! The water's nice!"
The girls shared a small laugh. Grabbing each others hand, they ran off to splash in the water with the boys.
"Cannonball!" Petra squealed as she plunged into the sparkling water. The girl, who was an average size for her age, made a sizeable cannonball splash, and the water went all to Olivia.
Olivia shrieked.
"Petra! Once I get my hands on you I swear to God you'll never want to do a single cannonball ever again!" Olivia yelled.
"Olivia, calm down. It's just water, see?" Lukas stuttered.
The blond haired male splashed a small amount of water on Olivia, and in an instant, Lukas was completely soaked.
Olivia gave a satisfied 'hmph' and sat on the sandy shore, letting the water soak her feet first.
"Well, do you know what it feels like now, Lukas?" Jesse laughed.
As Petra reached the surface, she had something in her palm.
"Woah, what is that?" Axel exclaimed over the unknown object.
"It's a seashell. Don't you like its color?" Petra replied as she showed it to everyone.
The seashell shined brightly. It was a mix of yellow, orange and red. Everyone stared at it, looking at its unusual look for a seashell.
"That's very interesting, Petra." said Olivia, seeming to forget the whole water incident.
"You might want to put it back where we sit. That's a beauty right there." Jesse answered.
"You're right. I'll be right back." Petra agreed. The woman walked out of the water with ease and looked at the shell as she walked towards where their towels were. Making sure no one would steal it, she hid it in the mini pocket that she had sewed onto her towel. Once the task had been done,she headed back to her friends.
~Petra and Olivia's Beach House: 8:43 p.m.~
"Oh my god, this day was amazing!" Olivia exclaimed.
"I'm gonna agree with you, Olivia. This was an awesome day." Petra replied.
The two threw their towels in the corner, and then they heard a little 'clink' when Petra's was set down.
"Oh! My seashell!" Petra exclaimed and dug through her towel for it. Feeling the lumpy figure of the shell, she fished it out.
"Thank god!" Petra sighed, "I am beat, c'mon, let's get some sleep.".
"I agree." Olivia replied.
~~~ 12:38 a.m.~~~
'Knock, knock!'
The strange noise had woken Petra up.
'Knock, knock!'
"Who is that…" Petra mumbled as she got out of bed. Careful not to wake Olivia up, Petra tiptoed to the glass window to see Jesse on the other side.
"Come outside." Jesse mouthed through the glass.
Nodding, Petra opened the grassy door and tiptoed out the door. Extending his hand, Petra took it. They walked towards the beach together, with smiles on their faces.
"So, we've been dating for almost a year now…" Jesse started off.
"Yeah, I mean our teammates know and they're cool with it, but, what will happen in the future?" Petra asked as they walked.
The two walked near the sandy shore, and they sat down together.
"Well, soon, they'll have to understand that we want to start our own life, together." Jesse replied, "We grow up, get married, have kids.."
"Woah, kids?! Yeah, that's not happening Jesse. You can forget about it." Petra interrupted.
"What?! Why?!" Jesse complained.
"I wouldn't be a great mother. The baby would be dead in a week."
"Petra, that's not true! Remember the time we took care of an orphan for a day in one of our missions? You and Olivia were both by yourselves, and that kid loved you both!"
Petra pondered that thought for a moment, until a sly smirk came on her face.
"Well, I guess you could say kids are attracted to my beauty." Petra giggled slightly.
"I bet they are, which is why so many people asked for your autograph today." Jesse joked.
The two looked into each others eyes, and they both kissed. The two stood up, and went under the big trees. The trees acted like a wall, it hid the two from sight.
"You know what, let's have some fun." Jesse murmered.
Petra laughed and nodded.
"You ready?"
~~ Flashback Ends~~
"So, you're pregnant, Petra?" Jesse said aloud.
"Ssh… Don't say it here. We can discuss it tomorrow, alright?" Petra whispered harshly.
"Alright, fine. You explain everything to me, alright?" Jesse asked.
Petra nodded, and turned her back against him.
'Why can't I go back to the past and change everything?' Petra thought.
