Chapter 4: Fights and Mel Gibson

David sat in the loft reading a magazine. The loft door slid open and Blink walked in. David chuckled because he was wearing his Toys 'R Us 'uniform' and his leather jacket. It was quite a funny sight.

"Shut up." Blink said, shutting the door.

"How was work?" David asked.

"I've decided that I don't like children." Blink said, sitting in his chair.

"Oh really? Why's that?" David asked.

Blink pointed to his pants. "Do you see this?"

David looked and saw a round spot on Blink's pants. "What the hell?"

"A kid decided that my pants were Kleenex and wiped his snotty fingers all over my pants." Blink said. "And this one here," He pointed to another spot. "Another kid spilled his pop all over me... and it couldn't be Sprite or anything like that... no... it had to be Cherry pop!"

"What's that?" David asked, pointing to something else on Blink's pants.

Blink looked and saw that a lollipop had been stuck to him all day. "WHAT! That's it! I'm setting up barricades at the front of the store and no one will be allowed in the store with any type of food or drink!"

"What about the snot?" David asked.

"I will duct tape Kleenex onto their hands as they walk through the door." Blink said, getting up and going to his room.

A few seconds later David heard, "IT'S A BLOW-POP!!!"

David chuckled and then something flew out of Blink's room and clanked on the floor. David looked and noticed that it was Blink's pants... Blow-Pop included.

----------

Blink, Shelley, Mush, Jax, and Talkback were sitting in the loft. They had the t.v. on but Mush was talking over it.

"I'm so happy you guys are back together." He said.

"Mush, I love you and all, but please stop saying that." Shelley begged.

"I'm just so happy for you. You guys have to be together... it's like a law." Mush said.

"Mush, calm down alright." Jax said.

"Alright. I'm calm... we have to David and Elle back together." Mush said.

"I think we should let them get back together on their own." Blink said.

"Blink... they have to be together! THEY HAVE TO!!!!" Mush said, grabbing Blink's shoulders and shaking him.

"Alright, alright, just let me go please." Blink said.

"Oh, sorry..." Mush said, letting go of Blink.

"Shelley, save me." Blink said, cowering by Shelley.

"Aw, is the Big Bad Mushee scaring my Blinkie Winkie?" Shelley said, hugging Blink.

"Quit calling me that." He said, smiling.

"Oh, shut up you like that name." Shelley.

"Alright, I did say I liked it." Blink said.

"Okay, let's plot!" Mush said, he looked at Talkback who was the only one watching the television. "You're helping too."

Talkback looked at him. "Okay."

----------

Blink sat in his chair watching television. David came in and flung himself on the couch.

"I hate my life." David said, into the couch.

Blink was ignoring him and kept watching the television. David turned his head and looked at Blink. He sat up and just stared at Blink.

"Blink... you in there?" David asked, waving his hand in front of Blink's face.

Blink still ignored him. David sighed, stood up, and slapped Blink on the arm.

"What did you slap me for?" Blink asked, rubbing his arm.

"You were ignoring me. I had to." David said.

"You didn't talk so how could I ignore you?" Blink asked.

"I did so talk. I even said your name! What's up?" David asked.

"Nothing! Jeez, just because I didn't hear you -"

"Didn't hear me!" David yelled. "What do you mean you didn't hear me?!"

"I did not hear you, David. Calm down!" Blink shouted, standing up.

"Calm down! Calm down!" David said, shoving Blink.

"What the hell did you push me for?" Blink asked.

"You've been acting weird for the past few days and I want to know why." David said.

"I haven't been acting weird." Blink said.

"Yes you have... now tell me why." David said, pushing Blink.

"Quit David." Blink warned.

"Or what?" David asked, pushing Blink for a third time.

Blink slugged David in the face. David was thrown back a few steps and put his hand over his right eye. There was some blood in his hand and it was throbbing. He was probably going to have a black eye by the end of the night.

He looked at Blink and punched him in the face. Blink swore and put his hand on his lip. It was cut and bleeding.

"Blink, David... what happened?" Mush asked, walking into the loft.

David mumbled and shuffled into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Shelley, Mush, Elle, Jax, and Talkback walked in and Blink got a towel and placed it on his lip.

"You okay?" Shelley asked.

"Who me? I've been in worse scrapes than this... can't think of any right now but." Blink said, smiling.

Shelley smiled and rolled her eyes.

"I'll go check on David." Elle said, going to the bathroom door.

She knocked on it, "Go away!" David yelled, running the hot water in the sink.

The door opened and shut. David looked up and saw Elle standing there. He turned away and picked up a wash rag and ran it under the hot water. They stood in silence while David put the rag on his eye to wipe up the blood.

Elle watched him. She grabbed the rag from David and he stared at her. "Sit." She said, running the rag under the water again.

David sat on the toilet and Elle cleaned his face. "Blink really got you. I think you'll have a black eye by the end of the day."

David didn't say anything.

"But, Blink's lip's pretty busted up." Elle said, washing off the rag.

It was silent again. Until David spoke up.

"Why are you in here?"

"To help you because Lord knows you know nothing about first-aid." Elle said, smiling.

David chuckled. Elle put a band-aid on David's eyebrow. "There."

"Thanks... listen, I'm sorry. For everything. I don't even know why I did it. I mean, you were always good to me and I just blew it. And -" David was cut-off by Elle kissing him.

She pulled away and David blinked, "Uhm... did I miss something here?"

Elle smiled. "No, I... I still love you David. Even though you were a jerk and cheated on me with Jonette, I still love you."

"Really?" David asked.

She nodded yes.

"I love you too... if you didn't know that already." David said.

"So..." Elle said.

"So... what do you say we give this another shot?" David asked.

She smiled, "Alright."

The bathroom door opened and Elle and David stepped out.

"Woo!" Mush yelled. "It worked!"

"What?" Elle asked.

Blink walked over to David. "Sorry, Dave, I didn't mean to punch you that hard."

"That's okay. I didn't mean to either... I didn't even think I hit you hard enough to draw blood." David said.

"Well... you did. It was a good punch though." Blink laughed.

"You all planned this?" Elle asked.

Mush, Shelley, Blink, Jax, and Talkback all nodded yes.

"Planned what?" David asked.

"They planned all this... to get us back together." Elle said.

David smiled. "Thanks guys."

Elle rolled her eyes.
