A Chaotic Thanksgiving !
PT 2
There was long, uncomfortable silence within the space between the doctor, and the squadron of speechless teens. There were mouths gaping, eyes boggling, but most of all, hearts sinking...
"It....it can't be..." Piper took another step back from the unmoving body of the Merb pilot. "H-he can't be....be...."
Her body shook violently, tears spilling from her eyes. "T-there has to be something you could do, r-right?"
The doctor grimaced, his dull, metallic eyes scanning the body of the merb. Although he didn't have any serious bruises, he gave the appearance of death. His skin tone was dangerously pale, and above one of his eyes, there was a huge, swollen knot, blood oozing from it.
"I am...not sure," He replied feeling the tension between himself, and the girl, her explosion of sobs breaking through the silence that the room held. Her mouth was covered by her petite, gloved hands, failing its attempt to hold her muffle gasps through her tears. Warm, comforting arms embraced the young navigator tightly, his head of unruly, red hair laying on her shoulder. He rocked her side-to-side slowly, his eyes closing and his voice entering her head with whispering words.
"Piper, I-I'm sorry..." Piper shook in his arms, but turned around to embrace him back, her head hidden in his chess. Her sobs made muffle voices against the fabric.
Junko squeezed his eyes hard, tears running down and hitting the floor with the sound of a splash. His sniffles joined in with the sounds of his crying friends. In front of him was Scarlett, her head hidden with the mess of black hair, her body quivering within the seconds they had been in the room. The doctor shook his head shamelessly, wishing that he could have done something to save the merb from death.
Behind the squadron, was Finn himself. He shook his head back and forth quickly, backing up into the darkness. His eyes were wide with realization, but then his body froze, wanting him to take it in. To take in the unforgettable mistake he had caused, costing his friend's life...
'Stork, I...I'm...' Finn wanted to say his thought out loud, but at that moment, he wasn't sure what to do, where to go, or even who he was at the moment. He just knew that he could only stand there and watch the corpse laying on the table.
'Stork, you....you didn't deserve to die this way...It wasn't your fault. I-I should have-' But all of what he thought disappeared, as the body under the fabric began to twitch. Finn gasped, his eyes becoming the size of saucers.
"G-g-g-g-guys?" He pointed at the figure in an accusing way, his finger quivering with fear. "I-I think that he's...he's...."
"....Alive?" Piper rose her head up to the doctor's word, a certain gleam of hope crossing through her bloodshot red eyes. Aerrow and Scarlett lifted their head up as well, their eyes a little pink. Junko's eyes were red and slightly swollen, but his tears subsided a bit, only leaving him small sniffles.
"Stork? He's alive?!" And soon enough, she saw it. The figure on the table slowly sat up, the sheets falling off his face. Everyone gasped, backing up near the wall. The doctor backed up with the rest of the squad. "It can't be...Stork, is it?" He received nods in response. "Are...are you okay, per say?"
The merb stared at the room in astonishment. The white cabinets and marble floors seemed to interest him.
Stork's eyes scanned the area before stopping right at Junko, staring at him with gleaming, hungry eyes....
"Um, Stork," Junko replied, walking forward cautiously. "Can you hear me-"
"Yes, of course! Of course I can hear you! Hehehehe-I mean-hehe-I always-hehehe-able to hear-hehe-YUM! Er...I mean, hello."
Everyone backed up.
"Um, Stork...?" Junko wasn't sure if it was safe to approach the merb.
Stork just smiled wickedly, licking his lips as if Junko was a meal waiting to be eaten. The wallop's skin paled slightly, and he backed away, hiding behind Piper.
"W-what's wrong with Stork?" He wasn't sure if the crazed look he was receiving was a good one.
The doctor shrugged. "His cranium. It must have made contact with one of the items on your airship, causing his electrocorticography, or ECoG, to react differently. Maybe even to his hippocampus." He replied.
Everyone stared at the man blankly.
"Um...." Finn started, raising an eyebrow slowly. "...uh...what did you say again? Like, you said something about a hippomahoozy, or something...hippochanpo....hippo-"
"-campus!" The doctor groaned. "It's called a hippocampus!"
More blank stares.
The doctor rubbed his temples in aggravation, muttering words that couldn't be heard. "Anyways, what I mean is that a part of his brain might have made contact with a certain item on your ship, causing him to act in vice versa of his regular personality traits."
All the boys blinked in confusion. Piper and Scarlett rolled their eyes.
"He means that the poor merb hit his head, hard." Scarlett said in a simpler form. The boys nodded their heads.
Piper sighed. "It must have been from that wrench," She concluded. "When we were falling, everything on the ship was flying so fast. I remember that when I was holding onto the rail, a pencil slided past me. See,"
She removed the bandage across her arm to reveal a deep, swollen scar across her dark skin. The area was red, purplish lines scatter throughout the area. Everyone in the room shuddered. "A wrench was flying across the room, and knocked him unconscious."
"That wrench," The navigator continued. "might have hit his nervous system, causing him to breathe irregularly or, in his case, hardly at all. Thus, giving the appearance of death."
The doctor smiled warily. "That is correct, Miss. Piper,"
The doctor glanced at Stork for a brief second. "-but be careful when around him. He might not be exactly himself. Since the his cranium was hit to such an extent, he'll won't be the average, paranoid merb you guys are probably use to."
The Storm Hawks nodded as the doctor left, staring at Stork for a long moment. The merb stared back, scanning the group. He stopped at Junko again, wickedly smiling once more, and then to the sharpshooter.
"Oh...FINN!"
The blond flinched. "...what, Stork?"
Stork fluttered his eyes flirtatiously - something so unlikely for him to do. "Come here, sweetheart!"
He made kissy faces at the sharpshooter. (Oh, Missy, please don't kill me!)
Finn froze completely, his skin turning from a ghostly pale to rosy red every second.
"Uh...I'll stay right here..." Finn said, hiding behind Aerrow. The skyknight backed away, not wanting to become the next target for a love struck Stork. Scarlett started to back up. No way she was next!
"Oh....SCARLETT!" The girl twitched, turning her head around in fear to see Stork with...puppy dog eyes?
"I love you!"
Me: -mouth drops-
Missy: -mouth drops-
Flame Soldier: -gapes-
Halo: Oh no, she didn't....
Kat: You got to be kidding me...
Missy: You....are....evil!....EBIL!!! -twitch- That is MY STORKLE!!!
Me: -snickers-
Stork stared at Aerrow with a certain, admiring gleam.
"And I love you, too...." And gave Aerrow sweet, little air kisses....WAIT! SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!
Me: -gasp!- Darn you, LoveFlame! DARN YOU TO....er....HECK!
Kat: But you're LoveFlame.
Me: Details, details....
Halo: -glares- You are SO dead!
Me: -is tackled by angry authors-
The two teens mouths gaped open, turning into deep shades of reds. Rose red. Cranberry red. Raspberry - well, that's a purplish pink color. Whatever. Red, red, red...
Okay, I did say this was very awkward...And again...very creepy, right?
"And Junko, you look quite...tasty...." Stork commented next, imagining Junko being on a huge plate with gravy drizzled over him, an apple in his mouth. The thought of, um, delicious wallop meat swam freely in his head.
Junko gulped loudly. The merb laughed like a little kid in a candy shop.
"YOU KNOW WHAT?!?! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! SO LET'S CELEBRATE THIS WITH ONE BIG KISS?! STORK'S KISSING BOOTH IS OPEN!"
Stork closed his eyes and puckered his lips. He didn't notice that as soon as he did that, everyone had left.
I made Stork so OOC and disturbing....but, that type of stuff helps the plot!
I told you this chapter would be bad!!! Ugh! -hits head on wall-
Also, the whole nervous system part is true, actually. Yep, I've done my research.
Anyways, please review!
