Chapter 2: Pre-Date Jitters
Freddy made his way to the art department, after having to double back a few times because he didn't even know that there was more than one section of the art department. Eventually, he found her in the drawing room. There, Runt was sitting in a corner by herself, with her back was turned towards Fred. So she didn't notice him when he entered. She was merely doodling random, yet well drawn pictures on a blank canvas. Her head was slumped forward, almost as if she was sulking. Fred slowly walked up, stopping a few feet away from her, and cleared his throat. "Uh… Hi."
The sound of his voice made the youngest Creed sister jump off her seat in surprise. Annoyed, she turned around ready yell at whoever was behind her. "What the hell is the matter with you?! I'm working here! Don't you know not to disturb me when I'm… Oh! Fred!" She froze when she realized that it was Freddy who had disturbed her. Her face immediately went beat red, as she started to shake. "F…Freddy! Uh… Sorry. I thought you were one of the other art students." She turned around and went back to working on her doodles. "So…. Umm…. What brings you here? Did my sisters put you up to it to humiliate me some more?" She asked in a low voice.
"No. I actually came to see you." Blob chuckled sheepishly, as he pulled up a stool and sat beside Runt. The Creed shook her head, making sure she wasn't hearing things. She dropped her pencil into her cup, and looked up at him with surprise.
"Really?" She asked. She wouldn't have thought the boy she had a crush on would actually ask her out…. Especially not after how her other sisters embarrassed her the way they did.
"Yeah." Fred said, with a large smile on his face. "I wanted to say thank you for the Valentines gift. It's really nice."
She blushed. "You mean… You really like it?" She personally thought she could've done a lot better on his gift. It was pretty original. A card with a big red heart on it, with an arrow going through it. Inside, just a combination of words the were meant to sound romantic.
"Yeah." Blob assured, pulling it out from his pocket. "You're the very first person who's ever given me anything this nice. Did you really make it yourself?"
"Mmm-Hmm" She began twiddling her fingers, which was a sign that she was getting nervous. "I…I… Uh…" She started blushing again, and now some sweat was gathering on her forehead.
"What?"
"Mmm…. Never mind." She turned back around to her doodles. "Forget I said anything."
Fred stared at her for a moment. She seemed jittery and unsure of herself. This concept confused Fred, as he tried to piece together what it might mean. Finally, after a few moments of silence, Fred took in a deep breath. "Would you like to go see a movie with me tonight?" Again, her pencil dropped into it's cup, and she twirled around. Runt blinked at him, wondering if he was just joking with her. Fred felt really embarrassed right now, and corrected himself. "I mean… If you wanna. You don't have to…"
"What movies are playing?" As if the girl had a switch for her expressions, her once skeptical, unsure stare turned into a enthusiastic, hopeful smile.
"Um… Mostly chick flicks, since it's Valentines." Fred shrugged. He, as well as Todd, didn't like chick flicks. The could handle romance in a move, but not when the whole thing is basically "kissy-kissy stuff" as Toad would put it.
"I don't like chick flicks too much." Runt groaned, MUCH to Fred pleasure. "My sisters are more into those kind of things…. I like comedies, horror and action stuff."
A wide smile grew on Fred's face, as he stood up from his stool. "Sweet. Hey, what's you're favorite type of food?" A question Fred is almost programmed to ask. The Creed sister placed her hand under her chin, and thought about it.
"It varies…. I like German and Indian foods, but my main two faves are Italian and Chinese." The massive teen smiled happily, and chuckled
"Okay, cool. So, uh… Where do you live?" At those words, Runt winced. This was caught by Blob, so he just HAD to know what he said that made her wince. "What is it?"
Runt looked down, and scratched her arm, uncomfortably. "My dad doesn't want anybody knowing where we live. Not even our friends." This confused Blob.
"How come?"
"He doesn't trust anybody. He's kind of…. Let's say…a bit paranoid about people he doesn't know."
"Oh." 'Weird ass dad…' Fred thought, but not out loud. '
"But we can still go out tonight, if you want…" Runt continued on a happier note. "We just gotta meet up somewhere else." Blob scratched the back of his head.
"Okay. You just wanna meet up at the mall then?"
"Yeah. What time?"
"How about seven?"
"Sure. I'll just have to call my dad and tell him what's up. I'm pretty sure he'll let me go out tonight, even though it's a school night. I mean… It's Valentines after all."
Meanwhile, Todd was standing by Pietro, as the watched two teams go at it in a game of football. On one team, Duncan Matthews and his team going up against….. DAISY'S TEAM?! Yes, Daisy was a football player for varsity. She was team captain at her old school before she transferred to Bayville High. She had incredible stamina and strength for a girl, so much that she was the ONLY girl on the team, and was considered one of the toughest.
But when she came to Bayville with her sisters, Duncan and his team gave her an unwelcoming greeting. Duncan and his crew have been long rivals with her old school, and decided she was "enemy" on their territory.
And as you can probably imagine, Daisy Creed didn't take that well. She immediately started a rivalry with Duncan, and guaranteed that SHE would be captain when she was done with him.
As Toad and Pietro watched Dairy blindside Duncan, Pietro was giving Toad some much needed advise about his rough date. "Alright, from what I found out about Daisy is: 1) Her favorite flowers are daisies. Go figure, huh? 2) Don't piss her off. 3) Be sensitive to her feelings, chicks dig that sort of stuff. And 4) Don't piss her off."
"But that's number two." Todd wined, as he winced at the sight of Daisy Clothes-Line one of Duncan's teammates. She then let out a beastly growl of dominance, as her team rooted her on. The guy she attacked, however, was being carried out by two of his still conscious teammates.
"I repeat…." Pietro laughed, pointing at the knocked out jock. "Don't piss her off. Unless you're feeling very suicidal tonight, then be my guest." Todd was bug-eyed and sweating up a storm.
'HOLY SHIT!!!!' He thought. 'That…. THING is my date tonight!' "Do you know anything that might set her off, yo?"
"No, not really." Quicksilver sighed.
"You're a lot of help, you know that, Pietro." Todd groaned sarcastically. Todd absolutely loved the fact the she was putting Duncan Matthews, his life long tormenter in his place. But he was scared out of his wits that the same beastly, aggressive, almost psychotic chick forced him to go out on a date with her.
"Just be happy that I'm giving you the 5000 bucks for tonight and not making you pay that back." He was right, Todd thought. The fact that Pietro Maximuff, one who annoys Toad to no end, was giving him a large amount of money without having to pay it back was an unexpected thing. At first, he was suspicious and was tempted to ask him why he would do such a thing. But he didn't want to end up losing the money, and ultimately ending up worse then that football player Daisy just destroyed.
"Well, I don't feel happy." Pouted Todd, looking at Daisy scoring another touchdown for her team. "It's you're fault that I'm going on a date with the 50ft woman."
"My fault! How the hell is my fault!" Quicksilver asked, clearly missing something.
"If you hadn't been so freakin' obsessed with opening your locker, then I'd of been long gone before they even showed up, yo! Now I have to go out on a date with that one person football team over there!" He growled, pointing at the Creed sister.
"If you want someone to blame, blame the Runt." Pietro countered. "If she hadn't been so shy, then she wouldn't of needed her older sisters to push her to practically ask Freddy out."
Todd groaned miserably. This was not helping him at all. At that time, Daisy saw both Todd and Pietro standing by the bleachers. So, still being a girl, she yanked off her helmet and waved at Toad.
"HEY THERE, HOT-STUFF!" She cried in a loud, booming voice. Both her team and Duncan's team turned and saw that she was in fact calling out to Todd "Toady" Tolansky. "Remember: our date is at seven!" Duncan and his team were blown away that the girl whooping their asses was dating their personal punching bag.
Toad nervously waved back, as he received hoots and hollers from Daisy's teammates, and glares and people cracking their knuckles on Duncan's side.
"I don't even know what Daisy likes…." Todd whispered, not even bothering to stop fake smiling and waving at Daisy. "She seems like little things can set her off…. And knowing my luck, I'm gonna end up setting most, if not all of them off."
"Well, there is such a thing as "communicating". I know she's scary, but she's still a girl. Muscles or not, she got to have a reasonable side to her…. After she beats the living shit out of you, at least."
"Shut up!" Todd whimpered, as Daisy put her helmet back on, and began talking shit to Duncan. Apparently, he had some not so kind words about her date. Words were exchanged, tempers rose, and that's when Daisy's team hiked the ball. They all had there person, but the Creed didn't cover her guy, and instead dashed directly at Matthews. He didn't see her coming, and was tackled…HARD. 'Fuck…. I'm not going to survive tonight, yo….'
Just then, Freddy came bounding around the corner with a large smile on his face. "Hi, guys!" Quicksilver raised an eyebrow at the large grin on his large friends face.
"You seem cheery." said Pietro snickered. "Still ecstatic that a girl actually gave you a Valentine?"
"Mmm….yeah, but that's not why I'm really in a good mood." Fred replied, placing his hands in his pockets and rocking back and forth in his heels. So after a few seconds of Fred not continuing the statement, Todd took the bait.
"Why is that, yo?"
"I've got myself a date tonight!" Blob cried happily.
"With the youngest Creed sister?" Pietro asked in a disbelieving tone. Fred grinned even wider and nodded.
"Yup. We're meeting up at the mall later tonight. I'm gonna take her to the movies, out to dinner, and…" Fred's happy description of the date was cut short when Pietro waved his hand in front of his face.
"And where, pray tell, are you going to come up with the money to pay for tonight's festivities? Hmm?" The speed freak asked, purposely raining on Fred's parade
Fred's smile then dropped to a frown. "Oh… I didn't think about that."
"I'll pay you to take my date off of my hands tonight!" piped Todd. Pietro snarled at his green friend and smacked in upside his head.
"Shut up, worm breath! I'm paying for you, not him!"
"Man! This sucks! Just as soon as something good comes my way, I get screwed." Blob groaned miserably, as he slumped sadly onto the bleacher.
"Did I just hear you say that you're going to take my little sister out on a date tonight?" All three boys spun around to see Sasha Creed standing there with a perplexed look upon her face. None of them answered. "Well?" She folded her arms across her chest, and began tapping her foot on the ground, impatiently.
"Yeah, I said I was." Fred moped.
"Was?" Sasha asked, with an eyebrow raised up high.
"I forgot that I don't have the money to take her out. I don't have a job or anything. And Pietro won't lend me any. So…."
"Hmm…" Sasha thought for a moment, then began digging through her wallet. After a couple of seconds of looking, she pulled out some cash, and handed it to Freddy. "Here, there's at least 500 dollars there, enough for a nice dinner date and some extra left over for miscellaneous purposes."
"Uh…" Freddy simply stared down at the money, until Sasha practically shoved it into his hands. Freddy was confused. "How come you're being so nice to me right now?"
Sasha sighed and gave him a cold stare. "Unlike my other siblings, I am more mature and understanding to Victoria's mental insecurities."
"Her name's Victoria?" Fred asked.
"Yes, That is her name. She is the only one out of all of us who is greatly misunderstood and has never had much luck with the frailties of the heart. And just so that we have an understanding, I'm only going to say this once. The money that you have in your possession right now is a temporary loan. I expect to be paid full by the end of the month, understand?" Fred nodded and she continued. "Good. Secondly… I don't much care for any of the boys here in this school, especially you. Ever since I heard what had happened between you and Miss Jean Grey…" Blob looked down to the ground, feeling ashamed that he had to remember that moment. "I believe you to not be suitable boyfriend material. And thirdly… If you hurt her in any way, I promise you the consequences will be fatal. Is everything clear?"
"Yes." Fred answered.
"Yes, what?" Sasha asked, placing her hand by her ear.
"Yes, ma'am?" Fred answered again thinking that the "ma'am" was what the Creed was looking for.
"Good. Glad to see that you know your place. Step out of bounds and I will break you." She growled coldly. "Now, if you all will excuse me…. I have an Accounting class that I must attend to." She then turned and walked away.
"Whoa, yo!" Todd exclaimed, as he hopped on top of Fred's shoulder. "That was super creepy. Glad she's not really worried about Daisy's feelings gettin' hurt. Hope nothing goes wrong with you're date tonight, yo."
"Yeah… me too." Fred agreed, as a shiver traveled down both his and Todd's spine at the mere thought. Toad the looked at the clock. 2:20pm.
"Well, we still have about an hour until school is out. We should hit the house and get ready for out dates….. And finish our Wills while we're at it…." The green mutant mumbled. Pietro just smiled and chuckled as his two friends made their way to the Brotherhood Boarding House.
