A/N: Hey guys! So sorry I haven't written in forever! I just got back from the beach with some rather unhappy news about certain stories being copied and junk. I won't say much, but I will say that saying someone else's work is yours is wrong. Anywho~SnowyElemental989 suggested a Gil x Lagoona drabble, and that's what I shall do since she has been a wonderful friend to me and I really owe her and want to thank her for what she's recently done for me :) So this one's for her, and to the rest of you; I will take requests! (But if you request Romulus x Abbey, it won't be very romantic) Anywho~without further ado; I don't own Monster High, enjoy!

Chapter 4

Gil x Lagoona (for SnowyElemental989)

"And Sandy Siren is the winner! Merman Cove has won the swimming meet!" the announcer boomed.

Lagoona couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't think of a time when she lost to anyone. She wanted to tell herself it was okay. She wanted to tell herself she would win the next one, but the words swimming in her mind only made her sadder.

"Lagoona! What happened?" Frankie called.

"Yeah, ghoul! You were ahead of her at first!" Clawdeen questioned.

"I…I-" The words were there, but they wouldn't come out.

'Just a slip up.' is what she wanted to say. 'I've totally got the next one!" But the enthusiasm just wasn't there. Now, she knew what she wanted to do.

This feeling made Lagoona's stomach churn, her head hurt, and her mouth dry and made her friend's words run together. She could hear Venus and Abbey trying to tell her that it was okay and that it didn't matter but the words they said ran together. Instead of, "Don't worry! It was just a slip up!", she heard, "Slip up, that's all you can do." ;and, "You will be winning the meet of swim next time!" she could of sworn she heard, "You will not be winning meet of swim again!"

The feelings then poured out as she sped to the hallway almost slipping on her way.

"Lagoona, wait!" her friends called after her. They thought about following, but they didn't want to make it worse.

When the sea creature reached the hallway, the first thing she did was fall against the wall and cry into her knees. She sobbed until hearing the pool door open. For a split second she hoped it was Gil, but of course not. It was Toralei…with Sandy Siren and her mermaid ghouls.

"Well, that was a puuurfect win, if you ask me." Toralei meowed.

Sandy rolled her eyes, checking her pink nails. "I could have done much better, but I realized I didn't need to when I saw…" she looked at Lagoona and laughed. "You!"

Lagoona immediately filled with rage which was quickly overcome with sadness and shame. She let the shame fall down her face with tears.

Toralei, Sandy and her ghouls laughed at the sea monster.

"Oh, I'm sorry honey!" Sandy teased. "Did I ruin your perfect winning streak?"

They continued as Lagoona continued sobbing.

"I have to say if monsters actually lost against you, then you must have going against the Monster preschools!" one of the mermaid ghouls teased.

Lagoona's head hurt with embarrassment, sadness and anger. She wanted to stand but her legs were numb. She wanted to yell, but her voice seemed to be lost. She wanted a rematch, but that wasn't going to happen.

"It's just…a meet…" she told herself, a bit too loudly.

"Just a meet?" Toralei continued to tease her. "If you ask me, you shamed all of Monster High! You should probably go ahead and quit the team with the little dignity you have left!"

"She actually has some left?" Sandy laughed louder and more obnoxiously. It span around in Lagoona's head like a carousel. As she heard the pool door open again, she only hoped whoever it was didn't pay attention to her being teased.

"Why don't you two go jump in the pool? More specifically, Toralei." Someone snarled at them. Lagoona knew that voice; that wonderful voice that she loved more than anything.

"Gil?" she looked up.

Hey boyfriend took a look at her and made a bit of sad and angry face. "Toralei, Sandy; don't you realize making fun of monsters just makes you worse monsters." He then chuckled. "Plus, the only reason you're teasing her is to cover up the fact this is the first time you've ever won a swim meet, Sandy,"

Sandy gasped, and so did one of her ghouls. The mermaid looked back at them. "Starla! She yelled.

The purple haired mermaid, Starla blushed. "I'm sorry…it slipped."

Sandy then growled and stomped away with her ghouls and Toralei following.

Gil smiled a satisfied smirk, as he sat down with Lagoona putting an arm around her. He wiped salty tears off her pretty freckled face, and kissed her cheek.

"Don't listen to what they say. They don't know talent when they see it," he smiled warmly at her.

Lagoona shook her head, wiping away tears. "How could I not listen to what they say…I must have lost my talent…"

Gil gave her a sad look and shook his head. "No, no Lagoona! You haven't lost anything!"

She scoffed. "Well I just lost the meet, didn't I?"

Gil sighed. "Well, maybe but-"

"There's no but about it! I've lost the meet…and I suppose I've lost my touch…"

Gil grabbed his ghoulfriend's hand. "No, Lagoona. You may have lost the meet, but you're still the best swimmer I know. Today was just that day, where something goes wrong. We all have them. Poor Heath seems to have one everyday…" He added, as he watched Heath from across the hallway accidently burn his casketball, to which he laughed about.

Gil smiled. "Don't worry about it, love. You'll win for sure next time; and the time after that, and the time after that. Just laugh it off, and you'll be winning again in no time."

Lagoona looked up at her boyfriend's sincere face and then wiped away the new tears. She then smiled and began to giggle.

"I suppose I was acting silly, huh?" She chuckled, as Gil helped her up holding her hand. He then kissed her cheek and wrapped an arm around her.

He shook his head. "Not at all, my little angelfish. Now c'mon."

She looked up at him. "Where're we going, love?"

"Away from the bad atmosphere, now go change out of your swimsuit."

Lagoona nodded, speeding to the changing rooms. She found her normal attire and changed, trying not to get trampled by her ghoulfriend's many questions.

"Where have you been?"

"Are you okay?"

"Why are there tearstains on your face?"

"What did sandpaper tongue kitty do now?"

Lagoona ignored them all, as she charged out of the locker room with four words. "I'll win next time."

And thanks to Gil, she was sure of that.

A/N: Okay, so maybe that was shorter than my normal drabbles, but Gil x Lagoona is a tricky couple for me…Meaning I'm not good at writing canon couple fanfics :/ Anywho~I hoped you liked it! Plus, go and follow SnowyElemental989! She's very awesome :) Review and junk too! Love you guys and ghouls!
