Chapter 3
A month later...
Dakota and Arabella were starting to feel happy at their new home, although Arabella and Tracey's constant arguing could put Dakota in difficult posititons, like just the other day...
-Dakotas Flashback-
Kota and Bella didn't get any money for their allowance one week as their mother was still un- employed since they moved to Santa Carla, and was struggling with bills aswell as affording for her daughters. Dakota accepted her mothers struggles but Arabella wasn't happy.
Bella started arguing with Tracey in the kitchen one night after dinner.
"Bella, i told you! stop asking for money i really havnt got anything it's hard when i havn't got a job!" Tracey said in a low voice
"well go out and find one! it's your job as a mother to support us? what do you expect? that dad will come through the door and give you $5,000?" Arabella said sharply
"dont bring your dad into this Bella! we all know he wont come back!"
"then why dont you just move on and go out there and get a job! me and dakota are 16 we can take care of ourselves while your at work" Arabella started shouting
"i dont know anywhere employing at the moment, stop shouting and go to your room!" Tracey shouted back
"i'm not shouting im telling you to go and support the family but instead your hiding in the house like a widow and greiving over something thats over and done with!"
"THATS IT ARABELLA SUMMERS, YOUR GROUNDED!" Tracey pointed in bella's face,
Dakota put her head against the door frame, she knew that the next morning it would be like nothing had happend and Arabella most likely would'nt be grounded but it still worried her to see them like that to eachother..
-End of flashback-
In the end Tracey got a job working with Lucy at the local video store, and Arabella got out of been grounded. The upside for the sisters was their new friends, Sam and the Frog brothers. everynight for the past month they would all hang out at the comic book shop and by noe they all knew eachother pretty well and everyday Sam and Dakota would get closer and closer, Whilst Bella and Edgar would eye eachother up as compotition and play fight, but they were good friends really, although everyone noticed a hidden attraction from Edgar over Arabella. Alan would just tag along and gorm out as usual.
It was just a typical night for everyone, Sam called and invited the sisters around to his then to the boardwalk as usual to go and meet the Frogs. So Dakota and Arabella went to the emmersons.
Sam answerd the door.
"hey guys" he smiled " come in"
Dakota,Arabella and Sam sat down on the couch in the living room.
"Mike's coming with us, he's just upstairs getting ready, he said he will drop us off" Sam said
"i'll go up and get him for you" Arabella offerd
"Thanks Bella, he will be in his room, just knock until he let's you in"
"Okay then, i will leave you two alone" Arabella winked and ran up the stairs.
Sam and Dakota smiled at eachother then looked down at the floor, it felt awkward but romantic.
"So..." Dakota said
"so.." Sam followed, he moved closer to Dakota and rested his hand on hers
"i'm really glad you came to live out here...
Arabella too! she's funny" he laughed nevously as if he could feel Arabella there ready to slap him for leaving her out.
"relax sam, were good friends you dont need to be so nervous around me" Dakota squeezed his hand
"um...i'm not nervous..." he gulped as Dakota kissed him on the cheek
"I do like you Sam, it's took some time for me to say it but i do, p-please don't hate me" Dakota stutterd
"HATE YOU! dont be so blank Dakota, i could never hate you, i like you too" Then Sam leaned in and kissed Dakota on the lips
Dakota felt a rush inside of her, it was perfect, he was perfect. She didn't want it to end when...
"WATCH OUT PEOPLE IM GONNA JUMP!" Michael shouted as he ran through the hall way and jumped over the couch between Sam and Dakota, Arabella saw everything from the stairs as Michael had to intervine.
"so you guys ready to go?" Michael asked
"yeah..." Dakota and Sam groaned at the same time
At the comic book store the frogs, Sam, Dakota and Arabella were all sat in a circle talking about everything and anything. After a few hours the conversation turned into the subject of Sam and Dakota's little romance.
"so whats with you two getting it on ey?" Edgar asked
"nothing man, shut up!" Sam whispered
"oh c'mon admit it Sammy boy, you love her!" Said Edgar winking
"so what if i do?"
"you love me Sam?" Dakota said smiled
"yes.. yes i do, Dakota Summers, will you go out with me?" he asked smiling
"YES!" Dakota shouted jumping up and hugging Sam as he kissed her. Edgar and Arabella cheered as Alan made gagging noises.
"just because you can't get with anyone!" Sam said to Alan
"no but Edgar can" He smiled at Edgar slyly, Arabellas head snapped up
"Who with!" Arabella said a little too sudden
"umm..you?" Alan said as if it was obvious, Edgar walked over to arabella and put his hand on her shoulders
"yes yes my dear think about it, you and me will slay all vampires, populate a house with mini Frogs and spend the rest of our days in a wheel chair as husband and wife!"
Arabella thought nervously...
"Vampires?" she said throwing everyone off the subject
"oh sam didnt tell you?" Edgar said looking at sam who laughed nervously
"well i didnt want to freak them out!" Sam said
"Vampires? what do you mean Vampires? its world war 2 all over again, lock the fucking windows!" Dakota screamed running and hiding under the frogs desk
Arabella didnt know weather to laugh or cry.
"woah woah waoh calm down people! Don't scare her shes only just become sane since Sam asked her out"
"shut up Arabella!" screech Dakota poping her head out from hiding "just cause you wont admit to likeing Edgar!"
"yeah yeah just bring it up again!" Arabella dead-eyed her sister
"so you do like the big Frog?" Edgar smiled, Alan just smirked and shook his head
"whats big about the fellow down below" Dakota asked
"Well you can say theres a snake in the jungle" Edgar winked
"I think its been starving for sometime..." Arabella mumbled to herself
"come and find out!" Edgar edged closer to her
"yeah Bella just go out already!" Alan insisted, Sam nodded and agreed
"yeah, go on Bell, you've been waiting for this oppitunity to come along" Dakota said crawling out of from under the desk
"i wonder what youve been doing under there? let me smell your fingers, god knows how fishy they are since you've got with Sam" Edgar laughed
"haha no. get with Bella and she'll have the same problem"
"well it's her who wont get with me.. im just waiting for it to make up her mind" Edgar winked
"i have a name!" Arabella snapped
"Arabella, i'm not going to wait forever..." Edgar said kneeling down on one knee
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he smiled
there was a long pause, Bella looked around at everyone who waited impatiently for her answer
"...yes..." she sighed
"WOO" Edgar picked Bella up and hugged her.
"FINALY!" Sam said exadurated
everyone celebrated then there was a long pause
"wait, so Sam and Dakota got together, Edgar and Arabella are making miny frogs.. what about me? wheres my loving?" asked Alan
"in a ditch with a few pornos and cream!" laughed Dakota
"correction, in a ditch where noone could find you... im just joking..." giggled Arabella rolling her eyes
there was a long silence as everyone verter their eyes to Sam and Dakota who were sat hugging and smiling at each other
"i do love you Dakota" smiled Sam kissing Dakota gently on the lips
"awwww i do love you too" Dakota smiled back and kissed him back
"ohh for god sake man, im trying to get my appertite back, dont want you 2 lovebirds making me feel sick" Edgar snarled
"ohhh and what about you and your misses i can tell theres gonna be more than this going on, yannoe with the snake in the jungle anyway" Dakota chuckled leaning back to kiss Sam again
"seriously get a room you 2 its disgusting..." Edgar snarled back
"seriously shut up!" snapped Dakota
Arabella just sat back and rolled her eyes, how was she going to put up with him all the time
"yeah Edgar go take your lady behind the counter and enjoy yourself" laughed Sam
"haha maybe i will" winked Edgar "come on Arabella"
"woah there boy, hold on a second" said Arabella staring asif it was the end of the world
"im only joking darling, but you would wouldnt you"
"in a couple years if your lucky" laughed Dakota
"yeah but you'd give Sam some wouldnt you, behind the back of the boardwalk" Edgar laughed
"none of your buisness what i do with my boy"
"he was our boy first!" shouted Alan chuckling to hiself
"when did you come into our conversation" Edgar laughed
"i felt left out..."
Everyone laughed at Alan as his smirk turned into a pout.
Later on that night Edgar kissed Arabella goonight and the frogs said goodbye to everyone and Sam and Dakota held hands all the way home, Michael just laughed and just said "good luck" to Dakota. When the sisters were in bed Dakota was never happier neither was Arabella, she could tell it was going to be a fun relashionship but...
"what the fuck did they mean about vampires!" Arabella shouted randomly in the middle of the night.
