Note- this is my first story, so i'm not really sure about how these are normally done. hopefully i've done it right. I don't own any of the Marvin Marvin stuff, i just made up this little story (which has references to the actual series) and sorry for all of the 'her's (i couldn't remember Marvin's date's name!) (no idea why but i think it's Haley- knowing me i'm probably waaaaaay off!) i hope you enjoy it xxx
As I danced uncontrollably into the kitchen (why Earth music, why?!) I made sure to slam down everything I touched. No-one even looked up from their breakfast, except for mum-Liz, who was answering her cellular phone (the source of my uncontainable, but mind-blowing fit!). I would have to try again.
"Sigh, huff, groan, moan, Gasp" I wailed, standing in a pitiful position, with my arm upon my brow. I peeked through to see that this time Teri glared at me and rolled her eyes. "Marvin, first of all, if you're trying to sound upset, gasp is the wrong word completely. Second of all, you don't say the name of the noises, you make the noises. Except that you won't. I have to study for this test, and if I hear so much as a peep from you, I'll rip out ALL of your three hearts!"
Seeing the look of horror on my face, Teri bared her teeth, making me yelp and run back upstairs. I am not sure if she actually could rip out my hearts, but why else would she have red on her nails?! I clambered into my pod as hastily as I could, and it turned yellow. I do not care if no one knows the burden on my hearts, I need all three of them, and I am not coming out of the safety of my pod until I know that Teri has left for her study session with Brianna!
The door handle started to turn, and my pod started to glow such a bright yellow that I had to strain to see whether I was getting a visitor from a friend, or death's daughter. (Wait, does that mean that dad-bob is death?!). "WOAH, dude! Take a chill pill, your pod is blinding me!" oh. It was just my smaller, yet wiser brother Henry. The yellow dulled and turned the deepest of blue. Then the sorrow liquids started expelling themselves from my eyes.
"Marvin, only girls cry. Mum sent me up here to give you breakfast, so come on man, eat up and tell me what's with the boo-hooing." Handing over a tray loaded with a loaf of toast, he sat on his bed, waiting for me to talk.
"Henry, I cannot eat your kind offerings- despair fills my five stomachs. I am not hungry." But already I had eaten a slice of the chocolate spread toast he had brought. I really wasn't hungry, but I cannot stop myself from eating delicious chocolate. It will be the death of me, as it nearly was when I first discovered the creamy goodness. After eating the whole loaf of toast, I gave an explanation to my situation.
"Do you remember when I went on a double-date to try to be of assistance to Teri?" Henry grinned, nodded, and gave me what my human family call 'high-fives'.
"Well, my date gave me her number and told me to call her. But when I did, she said it wasn't a good time and that she would call me back. She never called me back! I called her again and she said the same thing. What should I do now?" Henry looked grave.
"Man, I hate to tell you this, but it sounds like you've been dumped." Dumped? I do not remember her picking me up, so how could she have dumped me? I must have looked confused, because Henry explained further. "Wait, you've never been dumped before have you? Dumped is when they don't want to go out with you anymore" really? So she doesn't want to go on another date? But we had so much fun on the first! I sucked milkshake up one nose and squirted it out of the other! We bounced together! I regurgitated her cousin's milkshake and some fries! She kissed me! I secretly have not washed my cheek since- and it's been 4 weeks since then! Did all of this mean nothing? My hearts have been beating a million times per second whenever I thought of her- did she not feel the same way?
"Henry, have you ever been dumped?" he laughed.
"Wait, you're serious? Are you kidding me?! I'm the dump-er not the dump-ee! You know my three girlfriends? I dumped them all and got three new ones, all in the space of an hour! Dumped- ha!" he carried on chuckling to himself- but how will this help me with my problem? I could not think of a solution, although I spent the whole day doing what pop pops calls 'moping'. Thank goodness there is school tomorrow- maybe Ben will have an idea of how I could win her back?
I was restless all night, and by 6:30 AM I was dressed and ready for school. It was agonising waiting for everyone else to get up, so I left a note for mum-liz and dad-bob. Grabbing my backpack some breakfast and the spare key, I sprinted to school. It was not open yet, so I sat on the bench and waited for someone to let me in. why was it taking so long?! i pulled out my cellular phone and dialled her number- after all, she is my girlfriend, and it is only 6:45 AM, so she won't be busy yet, will she?
"hello? It is me, Marvin! Your date! You are not busy now are you? Do you want to chat?" there was a long silence, and then
"Marvin? Are you kidding me? It's quarter to seven for goodness sake! I know I said I liked weird, but this is too weird! Don't call me again. This isn't working. I'm breaking up with you." My cellular phone went dead, and I think at least two of my hearts broke. Time seemed to stretch on, until finally, I saw Ben walk towards me. My mouth went dry when I saw who he was with, and I could not believe my seeing organs.
They were holding hands.
