Chapter 3: And So the Princess Found Her Prince.
Heath dropped the iCoffin in surprise as Clawdeen's angry voice rang from the speaker. The fire elemental tried and failed to catch it, watching as it fell to the ground making a loud clatter that had him cringing. Abbey sat up, awoken by the sudden noise before turning to look suspiciously at Heath, who managed to give her a sleepy, yet apologetic, smile as he reached down and grabbed the phone from the cold floor. Turning back towards the confused yeti, he mouthed 'Clawdeen' as he passed her the phone.
"Hello," Abbey greeted, weary of the impending conversation as she brought the phone to her ear.
"Abbey?" Frankie's voice questioned curiously from the other end.
"Yes," Abbey replied sighing, thankful that it was not her werewolf friend, whose emotions could get unpredictable this close to the full moon.
"Oh my ghoul, are you all right? What happened? Draculaura said she thought she heard Heath Burns answered your phone! Clawdeen said it was him!" Frankie exclaimed with a worried tone.
"Heath is here," Abbey confirmed, unable to suppressing a moan of pleasure as she stretched her arms above her head.
There was a pause on the line before Frankie spoke again, her voice slightly higher pitched than before, "We'll be there in a few."
With that, Frankie hung up, confusing Abbey, but she just shrugged it off and set the iCoffin down on her bedside table.
"What'd she say?" Heath asked as Abbey got out of the bed, his eyes quickly scanning her lightly clothed body.
"Frankie was on phone when I got on," Abbey shrugged, "Ghoulfriends will be here soon, must get ready."
"Oh, Okay. I'm gonna go take a shower," Heath stated, getting up from the bed and grabbing his bag. "Where do I…?"
"Use mine," Abbey said, pointing to her bathroom.
"Thanks," He smiled before moving past her into the bathroom.
She smiled, trying to stop the fluttering feelings she was getting as she went to her closet to look for an outfit, finally grabbing one of her simpler dresses before quickly changing. After changing she made her way towards the bathroom door, remembering that she hadn't brushed her teeth yet. Abbey listened by the door, she heard the shower running and Heath singing some song that she had never heard before:
"My loneliness is killing me-AND I- I must confess, I still believe. STILL BELIEVE!"
Abbey broke out into a grin as she heard the fire elemental and his silly high-pitched singing. She chuckled and shook her head as she opened the door, calling out to the monster inside. "Heath, I come in to brush teeth, yes?" Heath yelped before coughing and deepening his voice after his high pitched singing.
"Yeah, that's cool."
Abbey closed the door behind her, and quickly brushed her teeth so that she could get away from the steam. Grabbing a few other essentials she rushed out of the room, giving Heath a quick, "Am done now," before exiting the bathroom.
Once back in her room, she quickly put on some deodorant, and then brushed her icicle hairbrush through her hair and pulled the white strands into a high ponytail before checking herself over in the full length mirror. The light purple dress she had grabbed was one of her favorites; it was a made of a soft t-shirt material, was tight around her bodice, but flowed out around her hips to her mid thigh. The dress had three quarter length sleeves, a scoop neck, and was backless. Abbey quickly added some flat silver knee high boots, with white fur lining, and a few other needed accessories.
Smiling, satisfied with her reflection, the yeti turned on her heel and went to the kitchen to fix herself some breakfast. She walked over to the cabinets, ready to grab the ingredients to make a sardine smoothie, when she stopped and remembered Heath. He had been so kind to her last night, she might as well make him some breakfast, but she doubted he would like her usual meal. Abbey smiled as she went towards the refrigerator and pulled out a few ingredients, then moved towards the cabinet to grab a pan. Abbey's smile seemed to grow as she put the pan onto the stove, and broke one of the eggs she had grabbed into it, adding different seasonings as she waited for one side to cook. Abbey's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, not quite knowing when she should flip the egg over, as she had seen Headmistress Bloodgood do. She watched and waited until the underside was a golden brown. Abbey finally decided that it was time to flip the egg, but as she went toward it with her spatula, dark smoke started rising from the rapidly browning egg. With a yelp of surprise Abbey jumped back in terror and held out her hand sending ice into the pan. She finally began to slowly lower her hand as she heard Heath walking down the stairs.
"Umm, Abbey, what happened in here?" Heath asked, his eyes wide, as he stepped into the kitchen to see a block of ice on the stove and Abbey looking disappointed. Her head snapped into his direction, before quickly diverting her eyes and blushing when she realized that he was only wearing a pair of jeans and hadn't put on a shirt.
"Well, I wanted to make you yummy breakfast, but am still learning to make food from here, I'm guessing I have not learned enough," Abbey said shyly not meeting the fire elemental's eye as she grabbed the block of ice and moved to toss it into the trash.
"Wait, Abbey!" Heath grinned and strolled over to her and grabbing the block of ice, quickly placing the cold item into the sink before turning back to her, "Abbey that has to be the nicest thing a ghoul has ever done for me."
"But I screw it up!" Abbey exclaimed, looking at him like he was talking gibberish.
"Not necessarily, you tried, and that's still more than any ghoul has ever done for me. You know, that's not my mom," Heath shrugged still smiling at the yeti. Abbey finally smiled back as he pulled her into a hug. "Now, let's eat," Heath stated, his voice sounded a little unsure as he melted the ice around the egg she had been fixing.
"You really do not have to eat egg," Abbey protested.
"Sure, I do. It's, um, not that bad really," Heath lied as he grabbed a fork and took a bit of the egg onto it; but before he could put the brown rubber looking egg into his mouth Abbey reached up and placed her lips over his softly. He was so shocked at her initiating the kiss that it took him a moment to react, but by the time he did she had pulled away.
"Is very sweet, but I will not be letting you eat nasty egg, could get the poisoning of food," Abbey stated, taking the fork from the fire element, as well as the rest of the egg, which Heath had transferred to a plate, and pushed the offending breakfast food into the trash.
"So," He spoke as she placed the fork and plate into the sink. "What are we gonna have-" Heath started but Abbey quickly shut him up. She had smashed her lips onto his, running her hands over his pecks, and his broad shoulders, until they clasped behind his neck, pulling the fire elemental closer. Heath was better prepared this time, and quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up against him, tilting his head so that he could kiss her better.
They kissed until they had to pull apart due to need of oxygen. Heath smiled down at the beautiful yeti in his arms, happily noting that without heels she was now a little over an inch shorter than him. She smiled back. Heath ran his hands up her bare back, caressing her neck before cupping her jaw and bringing her back in for another kiss. Abbey, deciding that she too needed to reposition her hands, ran them back down over his shoulders and to his chest where she placed them flat, feeling his warm skin and heart beat. Heath slowly ran his tongue over the seam of her lips, making Abbey gasp in surprise, which allowed the fire elemental to slip his tongue into the yeti's mouth for the first time. Abbey, not knowing what to do, let Heath dominate the kiss as steam started rising from their joined lips.
"ABBEY, WE'RE HE-re," Heath and Abbey quickly broke apart as they heard Draculaura's voice, but it was too late; she, and the rest of the group: Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Clawd, Jackson, Romulus, and Gil, had seen them.
Frankie, being the brave soul she is, was the first to break the tension by saying, "We knocked five times, but you didn't answer. We thought you might be hurt or something so I used the spare key."
"It is fine," Abbey said as if there was no tension in the room, "We just about to make breakfast."
"Umm, yeah what she said," Heath said grinning as if that made everything better.
It seemed as if Clawdeen was about to burst, her paws were tightened into fists, her teeth were bared, and her eyes were narrowed. Romulus, being the one to notice, tried to comfort her by rubbing her arms. "Don't touch me right now Romulus!" She exclaimed, slapping his hand away.
"Okay, then." Romulus chuckled, "Heath, why don't we guys go talk in the other room; leave the girls to talk in here."
"Yeah that might be a good idea, Heath," Jackson agreed after noticing Clawdeen's anger.
"Yeah, alright," Heath nodded, finally stepping away from Abbey to follow the guys into the living room across the hall.
Once they departed Clawdeen came up looking all kinds of worried as she asked, "What happened last night Abbey? What about Sam? When did you and Heath even see each other? Did he try and pressure you? I can beat-"
"What happened to ya arm?" Lagoona interrupted Clawdeen's rant to ask the yeti.
"Burn," Abbey shrugged.
"He burnt you!" Clawdeen exclaimed in anger.
"Was accident, I was being over dramatic and he did the burning on accident," Abbey tried to explain.
"All of you just hold your bolts!" Frankie commanded, "Abbey, why don't you tell us what happened. Everything that happened."
"Well, Sam did the standing up," Abbey began, but what cut off by her ghoulfriends' sympathy.
"Oh, sweetie I'm sorry!" Lagoona comforted the yeti.
"That rotten sasquatch!" Draculaura huffed.
"Abbey I'm so sorry, why didn't you call me?" Frankie cooed, reaching for her friend's hand.
"I knew he was a jerk!" Clawdeen scoffed.
"Yes, yes. Sam is major jerk, but I am being over that," Abbey stated like it was no big deal before continuing her story.
"When I was leaving the maul, Heath came up to do the flirting, but he realized I was sad, so he offered to drive me home. He kept asking why I was sad, I acted like the drama queen and tried to open the car door. Heath grabbed arm, accidently doing the burning of me. He apologized, took me home, and patched up burn. I was scared of being home alone, in case of worsening, so I asked him to stay,"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait," Clawdeen interrupted, "You asked Heath Burns to stay the night with you alone? Why didn't you call one of us to come and stay with you?"
"I did not think of calling ghoulfriends," Abbey shrugged. "But yes, I did asking Heath to stay the night with me."
"Ghoul, something bad could have happened, you can't just do that," Clawdeen exclaimed like it was obvious.
"Nothing bad happened, plus I could do the taking of Heath Burns, all I have to do is freeze him, plus his momma gave me the permission to slap him!" Abbey explained happily.
"Wait, you met his mom?" Draculaura asked.
"Yes, I met Ember. Is very nice lady," Abbey stated before continuing her story. "He called his momma to tell her that he was staying night, she tell him to come home first, so we went to his house, looked at funny pictures, gives me permission to slap him if needing to. We order Chinese food, then we eat, talk, and watch movie. After movie I confess that I like him, he says he likes me too, we kiss and then go to sleep." Abbey finished.
"Where did he sleep?" Frankie asked.
"In bed with me, where else would he sleep?"
"Oh no, ghoul. He did NOT!" Clawdeen stated in annoyance, turning to walk out of the kitchen, towards the living room, where the boys were talking.
"Clawdeen stop, ya have to let Abbey explain," Lagoona reasoned, stopping Clawdeen from going to the living room.
"Oh HELL NO, THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FLAG!" They heard Gil yell through the closed living room door.
"Are they…?" Draculaura began, but was cut off by her own boyfriend's voice.
"THEM CHEATING ASS REFEREES!"
"They aren't even talking!" Clawdeen exclaimed, throwing her hands up in exasperation.
"Just… don't worry about it," Frankie suggested before turning back to Abbey, "Why did Heath sleep in your bed?"
"I told him to?" Abbey informed, though it sounded more like a question then a statement.
"Why, ghoul? He could have done something to you, don't you understand that?" Clawdeen exclaimed, looking at Abbey as if she'd lost all of her sense.
"What would he do? And I trusting Heath, he will not hurt me," Abbey stated, crossing her arms and glaring at the werewolf.
"What could he do? Are you seriously asking that right now?" Clawdeen exclaimed
"We'll deal with that subject another time Clawdeen," Lagoona quickly intervened before Clawdeen would go and on a sex and rape rant to their very sheltered and innocent yeti friend.
"But he is like… a total jerk!" Draculaura stated both changing the subject and trying to reason with the stubborn yeti.
"Maybe to you, but has not been to me," Abbey shrugged, turning to sit in one of the chairs at the bar.
"Maybe Abbey's right ghouls; I mean, we don't know Heath that well-" Lagoona began but was quickly cut off by Draculaura and Clawdeen.
"I dated him! I've been with him, I know Heath Burns," Draculaura exclaimed.
"He is over at my house all the time I know how he acts, super annoying," Clawdeen chimed in, before continuing, "And I've also been on a couple of dates with him too!"
"Does not mean you are knowing him," Abbey stated, looking at her two ghoulfriends
"She's right, Lala you dated him for a week, and ya even said that you and him barely talked, ya just kissed and did other things," Lagoona chimed in before turning to look at Clawdeen, "And Deenie, you went on a few dates with him for the sole fact that he's good looking and that Lala said he was a good kisser and good at those other things."
"Well he is," Draculaura murmured before evening out her voice "Though I have to say that Clawd is better, he does this thing with his tongue-"
"OH. MY. GHOUL! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!I DO NOT WANNA HEAR ABOUT MY BROTHER'S SEX LIFE!" Clawdeen exclaimed in horror, her paws going to cover her ears, hoping to block out her best ghoulfriend's voice.
"Yeah, let's not talk about sex right now," Frankie chuckled awkwardly.
"Frankie's right, we're talking about Abbey and Heath," Lagoona nodded before turning to Abbey, "If you want to be with Heath, then I'm gonna support ya."
"Me too!" Frankie exclaimed, going to hug her icy friend.
"Thanking you kindly," Abbey smiled, turning to look at her other two friends who were presently looking at each other, having some sort of silent conversation with their eyes. It took a moment before Draculaura turned towards her yeti friend with a small smile on her face.
"I suppose I'm okay with it too," Draculaura stated, before turning back to Clawdeen, who in turn pursed her lips before turning to Abbey.
"Yeah, me too, but if he hurts you I'm gonna beat him."
"Of course," Abbey smiled before she was trampled by her four of her best friends, while Draculaura yelled out, "GROUP HUG!"
The five boys walked from the kitchen over to the living room; after they all got in Clawd turned and shut the large door behind them. The four newly arrived guests tuned to Heath expectantly, but the fire elemental stayed silent; it was Jackson who finally spoke up.
"Heath, what did you do?" Jackson asked his cousin.
"Nothing, Abbey and I just hung out last night and I crashed here. What brought you guys here?" Heath asked trying to avoid this talk.
"Clawdeen stormed into Clawd's room, telling him to go with her to kick your ass, when she saw I was there, she told me to tag along," Romulus explained.
"Lagoona called me, telling me I needed to help her do damage control," Gil shrugged before walking past everyone to sit on the couch. The fresh water monster grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels until he reached a monster college football game between the University of South Howlarolina's Havoc Howlers and Monsterchusetts State University Hydras. Gil was instantly entranced, and the other monster's knew that he wouldn't be a part of the rest of their talk.
"Well Frankie called me saying I needed to come help my cousin because you got yourself into some trouble," Jackson informed Heath.
"Yeah, you and her making out in the kitchen while you don't have a shirt and you were both literally making steam. That so constitutes as you and her just hanging out," Clawd chuckled; trying to stay focused on the conversation and not join Gil on the couch.
"That was like the first time we kissed! Well,… the first time we really kissed,… because we kissed a little last night, but like we didn't even… use tongue or anything until just now," Heath explained, though he was forced to pause as his eyes were drifting to the TV screen every few seconds. "Why is Clawdeen so fricking mad anyway? Me and her have been together and stuff," Heath asked, finally turning himself away from the TV.
"Let's not talk about you and my sister man, or when you were with Draculaura either. I don't want to end up actually kicking your ass today," Clawd warned the fire elemental before continuing. "And Clawdeen is mad because Abbey is so naïve, like more naïve than Frankie when she first came to school naïve. So she's scared you're going to take advantage of her."
"I would never take advantage of Abbey, or any ghoul for that matter! I may be an ass, but I'm not a fricking rapist douche bag!" Heath exclaimed, looking very insulted.
"I'm sure Clawdeen doesn't think you'd rape Abbey or anything. More like, she doesn't think you'd realize that she is as innocent and naïve as she really is, and therefore you'd unintentionally take advantage of her ignorance," Jackson explained.
"Okay well, Clawdeen still needs to take a chill pill, I'm not gonna take advantage of Abbey," Heath rolled his eyes.
"But technically you already have in the eyes of yeti law," Jackson explained.
"What do you mean I've-" Heath started, but was cut off by Gil's voice.
"Oh HELL NO, THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FLAG!" Gil yelled angrily at the television. Clawd and Heath rushed over to watch the replay.
"THEM CHEATING ASS REFEREES!" Clawd exclaimed while Heath groaned as the referees let the holding call stand.
"Can we get back to the conversation at hand, please?" Jackson exclaimed. "This is actually pretty serious!" Heath nodded and moved back across the room to his cousin and Romulus.
"Okay now what were you saying about me taking advantage of Abbey," Heath asked his cousin.
"I'm not saying you did, but to a yeti, you pretty much ruined her," Jackson began. "The yetis are very old timey in the way they handle relationships. A girl's parents pick out her husband and she's not allowed to be alone with him until their wedding night…"
"What does that have to do with me and Abbey?" Heath cut his cousin off, a little freaked out about the talk of marriage.
"If you'd shut up and listen, you'll find out," Romulus suggested before turning back to Jackson expectantly.
"Anyway, Yeti girls aren't allowed to know anything about sex, and I mean anything, she's not even suppose to know what sex is before her wedding night. If it even seems like she knows what's happening when she loses her virginity, her husband can label her a whore and she'll be cast out of her village and left to die. Her husband is suppose to be the one who teaches her everything about sex and all of its consequences, such as pregnancy, he's suppose to be her first everything. The fact that the girls talk about their sex life in front of her, and that you're Abbey's first kiss would make her ruined in the eyes of her entire village if they knew."
"That's messed up," Romulus whistled.
"Yeah, but then again Abbey is already considered an old maid in her village because she's unmarried at sixteen, and they've called her many other names that don't really translate into English because she learned English in the first place and has come down here to go to school," Jackson shrugged.
"How do you know this?" Heath asked his cousin in confusion.
"Frankie and I've hung out with Abbey a lot and I've always been fascinated about the reclusive monsters, such as the yetis. Abbey never really minds talking about it, actually-" But Jackson was cut off again, this time by the voice of Clawdeen yelling from the other room.
"OH. MY. GHOUL! SHUT UPRIGHT NOW! I DO NOT WANNA HEAR ABOUT MY BROTHER'S SEX LIFE!"
The boys all looked up in surprise before turning to Clawd, who looked as if he was a deer caught in headlights, and one by one the boys dissolved into laughter.
"Yeah, this isn't awkward or anything," Clawd chuckled rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
"Hey, it's-" Heath heard Romulus begin to tease Clawd before he felt a vibration in his back pocket. He grabbed his iCoffin out and saw that the text he got was from Manny
"Where r u dude? I thought we were gonna play c-ball ive been the rec for an hour, get ur ass here"
"Heath, earth to Heath," Jackson stated waving his hand in front of Heath's face.
"Oh sorry, what?" Heath shook his head in confusion.
"We were having a conversation about Abbey," Jackson replied slowly, as if he was talking to a child.
"Oh, yeah, that. Well, anyway all that stuff you said is helpful Jackson, and now I know a lot about yeti relationships, so hopefully that will help me in my relationship with Abbey; you know, so I don't do anything to piss off Abbey's family, or Clawdeen," Heath stated happily. "Plus, you don't have to worry about me taking advantage of Abbey, she's the one who started kissing me earlier!"
Heath's iCoffin vibrated again, this time without going unnoticed.
"You do realize we're having a conversation here," Romulus sighed as if Heath was being disrespectful.
"I know, I know! Manny just keeps texting because we were gonna hang out today," Heath said looking down to read his latest text message.
'U better get ur ass over here Heath, I will not b stood up again!'
Heath rolled his eyes at Manny's overdramatic behavior before finally texting the Minotaur back.
'Dude, stop actin like a jealous gf, Ill b there in a few, do u mind if I bring a couple ppl?'
Heath barely had time to put his phone down before he got another text. He sighed and sent an apologetic look to Jackson and Romulus before reading Manny's text.
'Im not actin like a jealous gf dick face, & its cool Sam and Dougey tagged along w me'
'Sam? Like Sam Squatch, Sam?" Heath thought to himself in confusion before smirking slightly and sending a quick 'k' back. The fire elemental made a show of turning his iCoffin on silent and setting it in the middle of the table while looking at Romulus, who rolled his eyes in return.
He waited expectantly for Jackson or Romulus to start talking again, but when neither of them did he asked, "So, is anyone up for some casketball?"
They both gave Heath the 'where the hell did that come from?' look. Heath chuckled before replying "That's what Manny and I had planned for today, but apparently Sam and Dougey tagged along with him, I thought we'd, and by that I mean not me, would ask the ghouls if they want to come. We could all hang out."
"Sure, we'll go, and I'll go ask the ghouls if they want to come; since we all know Heath isn't monster enough to face Clawdeen just yet," Romulus chuckled before getting out of his seat and strolling into the kitchen with the girls.
"Sweet, I'll call Deuce and have him meet up with us," Clawd stated, grabbing his iCoffin to presumably invite the gorgon.
"So then I was like-" Clawdeen was giggling as she was trying to get through the story of her and Howleen having to deal with their cousin Furetta at a family reunion. She was just taking a deep breath, intending to continue her story when she felt a presence against her back; tingles began shooting up and down her spine when she felt breath on her ears.
"Hello ladies," the voice of Romulus practically crooned into Clawdeen's sensitive ears. The werewolf had to stop the whimper as it tried to make its way out of her throat, the reaction completely foreign to her. The she werewolf shook herself out of the effect the alpha male had on her senses and whipped around to face him.
"The guys and I were going to play some casketball, we wanted to know if you would like to tag along," The alpha wolf asked, looking directly into the smaller werewolf's eyes, smirking in a way that infuriated her. "Be some pretty little fearleaders for us?" He continued, tapping Clawdeen on the end of her snout and chuckling.
"Oh no, I am more than just a pretty little fearleader Romulus, I can whip your ass any day at casketball!" Clawdeen growled, taking a step closer to the larger monster, wagging her finger in his face for emphasis. Romulus grinned as he caught Clawdeen's finger in mid wag.
"I'm sure you could doll face, but we're not going to test that theory today," Romulus said smirking as Clawdeen growled in his face.
"Abbey would love to go, very much tired of being inside and talking about same thing over and over," Abbey said as if there was no flirting, unintentional or not, going on between Romulus and Clawdeen.
"If Clawd's going, I'll be there," Draculaura giggled making flirty eyes at her boyfriend, who had just walked in with the other boys.
"I think it would be a voltagious idea for us to get out and have some fun," Frankie said supportingly.
"It's settled then! We'll all head over to the rec center; but don't expect us to be pretty little fearleaders," Lagoona smiled, sending a pointed look at Romulus, who was still having some eye flirting with Clawdeen, they hadn't moved from their earlier positions, standing practically snout to snout, looking into each others' eyes, while Clawdeen was breathing pretty heavily.
"Yeah well, let's head off, don't want to keep Manny waiting," Heath stated, trying to take hold of the situation.
"Says the boy who still doesn't have a shirt on," Clawdeen stated, finally taking her eyes away from Romulus' to give Heath a pointed look.
"Oh yeah, I completely forgot," Heath chuckled as he sprinted out of the kitchen and up the stairs. He was only gone for a moment before he came back down in a fitted 'Screaming Banshees' band shirt, with his Letterman Jacket over it. "Let's go."
The group knew that they'd have to take multiple cars to carry the ten monsters from the Headmistress' house to their next location. Clawd and Draculaura separated themselves from the group first, as they climbed into her two-seater and began driving off.
"Who's riding with me?" Romulus asked as he unlocked his Camero and looked at the group.
"We'll ride," Frankie shrugged, pulling Jackson with her, the alpha pulled up the driver's seat, allowing the pair to get into the back seat.
"Come on Deenie," Romulus called out as he pushed the driver's seat back into its original position and walked around the car to open up the passenger side door for her.
"I'm not in your pack you can't just order me around," Clawdeen stated, rolling her eyes, but strutting forward, and into the seat he offered anyway.
"Then consider it a request," Romulus chuckled, closing the door behind her and returning to the driver's side. "See you there," The werewolf called out before revving his engine and pulling out of the driveway.
"Alright, let's go," Heath smirked, opening the passenger side door, and pulling open the seat, much like Romulus had done, letting Gil and Lagoona climb into the back seat, before replacing it and letting Abbey slip into the front. The fire elemental slide across the hood of his car and got in his seat.
"What is with the smirking?" Abbey asked, turning to her left, facing the fire elemental.
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah, that's not ya normal look mate," Lagoona agreed, turning towards Heath.
"He has something up his sleeve," Gil chuckled, playing with a lock of Lagoona's curly hair absent mindedly.
"What are ya planning Heath?" Lagoona asked, beginning to get suspicion.
"Why don't you ask Gillington, he seems to be full of information today," Heath replied sarcastically.
"Sam's going to be there," Gil provided, annoyed that Heath had used his full first name.
"You boys aren't gonna to start a fight are ya?" Lagoona groaned, looking in disbelief at the fire elemental.
"No, I just want to show him what he skipped out on; but if he starts one, I'm going to finish it. No one messes with my ghoul," Heath declared, momentarily glancing at Abbey before continuing, his voice dropping to a softer tone, "That came out wrong, I'm not trying to say that I already have you or anything… or that you're something to have! I just-"
"Is fine. Will be doing talk of that later. You are right, Abbey is not Heath's ghoul, yet," Abbey stated, looking at the fire elemental expectantly.
"I know, but I want you to be. I want to act like it though, to make Sam jealous. We can talk about making it official after, like on a date, say tonight?" Heath said, acting his normal suave self, but with a new, more sincere tone under it.
"Yes," Abbey nodded, turning to look out of the passenger side window.
The rest of the car ride passed in silence between the fire elemental and the yeti, though the two water monsters in the back seat let the car ride be anything but quite.
They arrived at The New Old Salem Recreation Center around ten minutes later; pulling into a parking spot next to Draculaura's cruiser. The quartette exited the car, Heath walking around and lacing his fingers through Abbey's, she squeezed them lightly, leaning into him.
"Sasquatches are afraid of fire, worse than yetis; thinking Sam is no exception," Abbey whispered into Heath's ear before pulling away as Manny came up to him.
"Finally you guys are here, Dougey and Sam are inside reserving us a court, let's go," Manny exclaimed, looking at their combined hands, and then at Heath in confusion.
Heath shrugged as if to say 'yeah it is what it looks like', before following his best bloody into the rec center.
As they made their way towards the doors, the other members of their party following behind, the intense music began to float from the doors into the monsters' ears. It didn't take long for them to feel the heat as flames licked their way up Jackson's body, leaving the blue skinned monster in their wake.
"OHYEAHBABY!" Holt yelled out as he looked around, trying to figure out where he was. The blue skinned fire elemental smiled as he saw Frankie, at his side, before grabbing her in his arms and dipping her low to the ground, planting a passionate kiss on her lips. "MMM Frankie-fine I've missed you!" Holt purred loudly after pulling away, lifting Frankie back onto her feet. Frankie giggled and pecked her boyfriend on the lips, looking at the monster before her with love clearly shining in her mismatched eyes
"I've missed you too Holt," She smiled up at him.
"Sup Holt!" Manny exclaimed, back tracking to high five the DJ, effectively ruining the moment.
"Sup Manny, What are we doing at the rec center?" Holt asked, as wrapped his arm around Frankie's waist, pulling her into his side.
"You'll see," Clawd chuckled as they continued walking into the rec center and over to the court that Dougey and Sam were waiting on.
"Took you long enough," Dougey stated, gravitating towards Romulus once he saw him enter the court.
"Sorry we held Heath up, we were taking care of some things," Romulus chuckled as he walked to the head of the group, Dougey immediately falling in at his right.
"Not a problem," Sam shrugged coming forward. "Hey Abbey, I didn't know you were coming," The Sasquatch started trying to be suave with the yeti whom he had stood up just the night before.
"Didn't know either, just was asked minutes ago," The yeti shrugged, "Will be sitting in bleachers," the she yeti continued before turning towards Heath and planting a sweet kiss on his lips.
"What the hell!?" Sam exclaimed, his eyes going wide as the yeti kissed the fire elemental before him.
"Stop being so dramatic, you're the one who stood her up to play Halo," Manny shrugged, reaching for a casketball.
"Yeah but it didn't take her long to bounce back, huh? Already spreading your legs for Heath Burns; damn Abbey, if I would have known you were so easy, I might've showed up last night," Sam spat, glaring at the yeti before him.
"Okay, that's taking it too far Squatch, do-" Heath started glaring up at the forest monster before him, but he was cut off as the larger monster rolled his eyes and pushed Heath back into the wall behind him.
"No one cares what you have to say Burns, except maybe your new flavor of the day,"
"Oh that's it!" Heath growled standing up, his hair igniting into flames, which reflected in his eyes.
"Oh my ghoul, Heath!" Frankie screeched in surprise as the flames started to travel down the fire elemental's body, eventually covering it completely in flames.
"I haven't seen anyone do that since Uncle Phyre at the family reunion when we were like seven!" Holt whistled in wonder.
Sam tried to stand his ground, but you could see the fear in his eyes as he slowly inched away from the burning elemental, who was moving ever closer.
"Enough!" Abbey yelled, "Am not damsel in the distress, can fight own battles!" The yeti reached forward, grabbing Heath's still burning arm. The sasquatch, and many others, breathed a sigh of relief as the flames receded back into Heath's hair, and extinguishing all together, leaving the fire elemental in a pair of boxers briefs and his letterman jacket.
"Well I'm glad I wore my flame resistant boxer briefs today," Heath chuckled awkwardly, before Abbey whipped around to face Sam.
"Yes, I am being with Heath now, not big deal. You stood me up, also not big deal; am not of the caring honestly. You not monster I was liking anyway, thanks to your stand up, I am being with monster I like, so I'm guessing thanking you," Abbey shrugged glaring up at the monster in front of her. "Also am not of the easy kind," She growled before freezing the sasquatch.
"OH MY RA WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Cleo yelled, having just witnessed the scene after walking in the door with Deuce and Ghoulia moments ago; but the rest of the group ignored them as Abbey walked forward, kissing Heath, who was still in just his boxers and letterman jacket.
"Am thinking it is sweet what you were trying to do, but Abbey can take care of self," The yeti said softly, moving her right hand up into Heath's hair.
"Yeah, I know you can, he just got me so mad," Heath sighed pulling her into a hug.
"Will be saying yes tonight when you asking me to be ghoulfriend on date." Abbey smiled, rubbing her nose along Heath's neck.
"I'm counting the minutes," Heath chuckled in her ear, before pulling away and planting a kiss on her lips.
"SEARIOUSLY?! Are you IGNORING ME?! Fill me in on what the Ra HAPPENED!" Cleo exclaimed again, stomping her foot, as she watched the yeti and fire elemental kiss in front of her.
"Ghoul, it's a long story," Clawdeen scoffed turning towards the Egyptian princess.
"Are we gonna play casketball or what?" Gil asked turning away from the scene.
"Yeah, as soon as Burns put pants on!" Manny yelled, throwing the casketball he was holding at Heath's head, officially breaking their moment.
"Must you be such a cock block Manny?" Heath exclaimed looking to his Minotaur friend.
"I know, RIGHT?!" Holt yelled, laughing.
"It's a gift," Manny shrugged causing the group to laugh.
Abbey smiled as Heath ran out of the room, presumably to cloth himself. To think, Heath Burns was her knight in shining armor, or should she say flames? Either way, she had been watching too many fairytales movies with her ghoulfriends, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
THE END
A/N: YAY! I FINALLY RETURNED! And yes that ending was crappy but I literally could think of no other way. Sorry about the hella long wait, I honestly don't have any legitimate excuses. School work became too much, my computer decided to be a douche, I exited this chapter without saving and literally lost my entire first draft of the chapter and had to attempt to write it all again without liking any other version I did, which made me SO FRUSTRATED and I literally couldn't even think about writing on this fanfiction for weeks if not a month, withough getting angry. Ect ect. All these excuses are true, but I doubt you honestly care lolz. Here it is though, the end of Ice and Fire I hope you've enjoyed it!
Much love,
