Hello my pretty witties! I am back with the sequel like I promised. Please note that instead of placing it under adventure and humor, I placed this story under drama and humor because I intend for it to be more dramatic. Someone once told me drama and humor are like oil and water; they don't mix. We'll see about that! R&R
Mel and Jacks
Well, this last year has been what it was. If seen a lot of hell and fire. My own hand created a lot of that fire. My life has changed. I've changed. Well, for the most part anyway. I've still gotta work on my anger management which I think has gotten worse over the past year. Every time I stumble over my words I start yelling and swearing. My friends say its like a mix between bipolarity and tourettes. Mr. K offered a way for me to have it "fixed", but I refused. Even if I did work for him, something about him didn't exactly set right with me. Odd how life can be; the type of people who you don't like always somehow end up either working or living with you. Mr. K was the type of person I wasn't too fond of. He seemed way too secretive. Like he was plotting something on me or my family and friends. At any rate, I want to introduce you to a couple of people…
"I told you I don't wanna watch Bleach!" Melanie said as she struggled to take the remote from me.
"Your opinion doesn't matter!" I said as I dodged her every move.
"This is MY house!" she shot back. She does have a point there.
"Girl, why you gotta be so difficult Mimi?" Jacqueline asked me. I rolled my eyes.
"I know this, if we don't watch Bleach then Imma G-snatch all ya'll glasses!" I said, which made Jacqueline, Tatiana and Melanie frown. It's strange that out of my four closest friends I was the only one that didn't wear glasses.
"Girl you ain't gonna take nothin'!" Jaqueline (let's call her Jacks from now on) said. Right as I was about to speak my cell phone rang.
"Hello. I did? Okay, bye!" I said as I hung up the phone.
"What is it?" Mel asked.
"My dad said that I forgot something at home and he's outside to give it to me." I said. I turned to Tanya and pulled her sleeve.
"Tanya come with me. It's dark and I scared." I said childishly. Tanya just stood up without saying a word and we went outside. In a few minutes when I came back, Mel was grinning like a crazy woman.
"What?" I asked. She smiled even wider.
"You went out there to see Milton didn't you?" She asked. I frowned.
"Girl, for the 50 millionth time, I do not like Milton!" I yelled. I was about to yell some more but I heard the beginning of the Bleach theme song.
"There's my man right there!" I said when Ichigo was on the screen.
"Girl stop playing, you know he ain't real!" Jacks said. Tanya and I laughed.
"He's realer than you realize." Tanya said
You're probably wondering who Mel and Jacks are. Well, other than Tanya, they're my best friends. Mel is somewhat quiet. She likes reading vampire books, and I always bug her about it. She bugs me about being an otaku, so we're even I guess.
Jacks is like my clone. We met each other a few years ago and became friends easily. Her temper isn't as short as mine and she doesn't swear as much as me either. For the most part we like almost all of the same things, but she doesn't watch Bleach as much as I do.
Anyway, the episode that they were showing was the fight between Ichigo and Nnoitra. Every time when Ichigo got punched in the face, I laughed like an idiot.
"If he's your man then why do you laugh when he gets hurt?" Mel asked me.
"Why do you wear pants?" I asked her. Jacks laughed.
"What that got to do with wearing pants?" She asked. I just hunched my shoulders and laughed with her. I waited until commercial break to speak again.
"What you got against Bleach anyway?" I asked her. When thinking about my endeavor into the Bleach world from the past year, everyone was cool (accept for Aizen).
"You talk too much about it." She simply stated.
"Well if you was in my shoes you'd talk about it a lot too, and besides you talk too much about vampire stuff." I said. Something told me not to mention a vampire because Mel jumped up from her seat and went to her bookshelf.
"Which reminds me, there's a part of this book I want you to read!" She said. I immediately told her no because she always picked out the sexual scenes as "parts that she wanted me to read".
"Fine then I'll read it out loud." She said as she began to open the book.
"Well, this was fun, time to go to sleep." I said as I curled up into my sleeping bag (If yo haven't noticed, it's a slumber party).
"Gurl you ain't supposed to go to sleep." Jacks said. Almost in cue to what Jacks said, Melanie's mother walked in.
"Okay ladies, lights out." She said before leaving.
"Why is your mother so old fashioned?" Jacks asked. Melanie just stuck her tongue out at her. Melanie got up and turned off the light before going to her bed.
"Pass the peas like we used to say!" I said, which was my last joke before we all went to sleep.
~The Next Morning~
Dammit! Who opened the shades? It's too much light in here. Ugh, they know my skin can't stand too much sunlight. Damn this floor got some nice abs…
"Abs?" I said out loud before I opened my eyes. I sat up and threw the blanket off myself at the same time and stared down in awe. There he was. The same sleep induced rosy cheeks. The same orange hair.
"Ichigo!" I said happily, causing the strawberry to wake up from his peaceful slumber. He looked up at me groggily.
"Mimi? Am I dreaming?" he said. I pulled him into a tight hug that made him sure that he wasn't asleep. After a few seconds he hugged back. I'm sure he was in shock; I was too.
"Ichigo I've missed you so much!" I said. "You feel like you've gotten stronger." I told him, as I could feel his muscles. I then turned around and looked down on the floor to see Tanya, Jacks and Mel sprawled out on the floor. How did they get here? I thought, but nonetheless I called out to Tanya.
"Tanya! Look!" I said. She sat up and rubbed her eyes before putting on her glasses.
"Whaa-" She began, but she stopped herself when she saw whose bed I was sitting in, and who was sitting there with me.
"Ichigo!" She said almost instantly before jumping up and hugging Ichigo as well. However, when she got up she accidentally jumped on Jacks' hand. She shot up from her sleeping place on the floor and yelped.
"OUCH!" She screamed as she held on to her hand.
"What's with all the noise?" Melanie asked. Then, she and Jacks put their glasses on and saw the three of us sitting on the bed. They were silent for a few seconds.
"Well, I'm goin' back to sleep." Mel said.
"Yeah, me too." Jacks said in agreement.
"Wait, you can't just go back to sleep!" I said while reaching out to them.
"Why not?" Mel asked, "This is obviously a dream."
"It's not!" Tanya said.
"Then ya'll gonna have to convince me!" Jacks said. Almost as soon as she did, I slapped her across the face. I realized then that slapping her on the face was kinda cruel, especially seeing that I've been able to slap hard for my whole life. I guess it was a heat of the moment type of thing.
"Ow! Bitch! What the hell was that for?" She asked me angrily.
"Are you convinced?" I asked. She nodded as she rubbed her sore cheek I then turned to Melanie.
"Do you need convincing?" I asked.
"You're not that crazy!" Melanie said. For those of you who don't know, that is supposed to be a threat. In spite of the fact that I had seen, met and dealt with crazier people than Mel, I kept my mouth shut.
"Who are they?" Ichigo asked. I had forgetten to introduce them.
"Ichi, this is Mel and Jacks." I said. As soon as I finished, a stuffed lion jumped out of the closet.
"Why the hell're you making so much noise?" Kon asked angrily, but his angry look faded as soon as he saw us all.
"What the hell is that?" Mel asked. Kon just sat there in silence for a few seconds.
"."
".."
"FOUR BEAUTIFUL GODDESSES! EMBRACE ME!" he said while lunging at Mel.
"Mel! Punch it!" I said, and she complied. As soon as he aimed for her chest, she punched him in the face and he made that squeaking sound like he does on the anime when people punch him. After he hit the ground, I picked him up and threw him on the ground as hard as I could and placed my foot on him. As I spoke I could hear his muffled yells.
"Shut up you piece of perverted shit!" I yelled angrily. "You see you got me cursing again. Fuck!" I yelled before stepping on him harder.
"Anyway," I began, "We've gotta go see Urahara. While it isn't a surprise that Tanya and I are here, we still have to figure out how Mel and Jacks got here." Ichigo had on his urgent face as he nodded.
