Chapter 5: Unbelievable

"Tiny, I...I really like you. Will you go out with me," he said, blushing redder than before.

Tiny stood there, awe-struck. A boy is asking her out. A boy that used to call her ugly, push her around and pick on her endlessly. The only thing she could do was look at him with the most frightened expression spread across her features.

Shawn's expression went from anxiousness to depression.

"N...nevermind. I shouldn't have asked," he said, turning to walk away.

Tiny broke from her stare a grabbed his hand, stopping him before it was too late.

"No. It's okay. I was just surprised. You used to hate me."

Shawn smiled at her.

"Yeah. But when you left, I realized what a jerk I was to you and for ten years all I could do is blame myself for you leaving. And I never hated you...to tell you the truth...I had the biggest crush on you", he responded blushing madly again.

Tiny put her hand to her mouth, mostly hiding a blush and containing a sweet giggle that tried to escape at hearing those words.

"Well...I would love to go out with you...," she told him.

Shawn perked his head up, beaming with absolute happiness.

"A...are you serious," he asked.

Tiny nodded. She honestly had a huge crush on him since she moved back to Credd Rock Island. He's talented, smart, funny, and WAY cute. She couldn't help but blush at hearing his voice.

"O...ok. Well, why don't we go out Friday night at 7 o'clock? Dinner and a movie?"

Tiny nodded.

"Okay. Friday night at seven. See you then"

Shawn nodded and walked away to where his friends were waiting for him.

Tiny did the same but with her own friends who welcomed her back with squeals of pure happiness.

"OMG, Ti! You're first day and you already have a boyfriend," Khaki cheered.

"You sure are lucky," Sonia chimed after her.

Pah! What luck? My sister just got killed three days ago, I almost committed suicide, I nearly drowned, and the largest monsters I have ever encountered just jumped me. Besides the date, how is any of this luck? Tiny thought.

"Yeah, I guess I am," she lied, the thought still circulating in her head but soon turning to Shawn.

I wonder why he held this in for so long...

Before she knew it, the last bell rang and everyone was heading home. She was the last one to walk out of the classroom due to the fact that she was still hurt from her ambush and couldn't walk as fast as she normally could.

When she reached the doorway, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, you", a familiar and handsome voice said.

Tiny turned around and saw the stern and handsome face of her new boyfriend, Shawn. She smiled at him.

"Hey," she replied.

"I can't wait 'til Friday," he told her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

Tiny giggled.

"It's only tomorrow, Shawn. Be patient",

"I can't help it," he said. "I'm not patient."

Tiny giggled again, this time hugging him.

"You're just gonna have to wait 'til then" she told him.

Shawn pouted.

"O...Kay..." he moped.

Tiny giggled and hugged him.

"Don't worry, Shawn. It's not that long to wait."

When she parted from Shawn, all he could do was look into her large greenish-blue eyes. His response was a smile and an embrace.

"You're so damn cute," he told her.

Tiny blushed madly at hearing this. Never has anyone said that to her before. She honestly began to think she didn't inherit any beauty genes from her mother.

Shawn pulled away from her to see her face, red as a pair of cherries.

"Are you okay, sweet cheeks", he told her, chuckling a little at his little pet name for her.

Tiny looked at Shawn, her blush still visible as she held to him like a little girl to her father's leg.

"No one has ever been so kind to me before" she told him.

He looked at her and smiled, stroking the back of her head.

"Wow, it's as if you're a virgin to compliments," he said chuckling.

Tiny glared at him, holding back the urge to slap him for saying 'virgin'. He noticed her glare and stepped back, holding his hand toward his face.

"Hey, Whoa, I was just kidding. Although, I must say, you are super cute when you're mad," Shawn told her.

Tiny's angry expression turned bashful as a blush made its way across her features.

"Uh...thanks," she told him.

He smiled at her.

"No problem, cutie".

She blushed harder and smiled at him.

As he departed in the direction of his home, Tiny went her own separate way toward town, where her friends were waiting for her in front of a shop called "Hot Topic".

"Hey guys," she said, waving to her friends.

At that, Sonia glomped Tiny for the second time that day.

"Hi, Ti! We are sooo gonna find you some beautiful clothes for your date," she beamed.

Tiny smiled at her, trying her best to pry her friend off her. When her friend finally let go, Tiny turned around and looked at the shop.

"I've been here before. They had one back on DK Island. It's where I got this", she said, tugging on her Paramore t-shit.

"We come here all the time", Jasmine told her, playing with the black dragonfly necklace she had around her neck. "I get all my jewelry here."

"We get our awesome shoes from here," Khaki and Rouge told Tiny in unison, holding up their feet that were both clothed with a pair of All Star Hi-tops.

"All my accessories come from here, like this adorable hat and these wrist bands", Sonia beamed, pointing to her Choco Cat beanie and flashing her Paramore wristbands.

Tiny smiled at all of them. They were all so cool.

"Well, they have the most beautiful dresses. Perfect for you, Ti", Khaki told her.

"And the coolest boots", followed Rouge.

Tiny looked at the twins and smiled.

"You had me at dresses. Let's go", she said, walking into the shop.

Friday came and went quickly. Directly after school, Tiny ran home and readied herself for her date with Shawn, taking a shower and putting on her new dress and boots she had bought from "Hot Topic".

She looked at the clock.

"It's almost seven. Gotta go meet Shawn at the dock", she told herself.

Tiny grabbed her purse and ran outside, heading toward the dock.

When she arrived, he had not yet shown up.

"Where is he? It's seven o'clock," she told herself, looking around.

Lost in thought, she didnt even feel something touch her shoulder. It wasn't until she heard a familiar voice before she broke from her trance.

"My, my, a fair and beautiful princess awaiting her prince", it said.

Tiny turned around and there stood Shawn, dressed up like he was going to a rock and roll concert, but in the good way. She smiled at his handsomeness.

"You look great, Shawn", she told him

He smiled at her.

"You don't look too bad yourself", he winked.

Tiny blushed, smiling madly.

"Thanks", she told him.

He smiled at her, taking her hand into his.

"So, you ready to go?"

Tiny nodded.

"Yeah. Let's go".

After about ten minutes of walking, the young couple came upon a lovely restaurant that was called "Aunester's". The restaurant looked somewhat fancy but had a hint of urban food shack to it, kinda like "CiCi's Pizza". The restaurant served a wide variety of foods, from Mexican food like tacos to Chinese like Chou Maine to Italian like chicken alfraido to Japanese food like sushi and back to American like chocolate cake and steak.

"Wow, this place is amazing. How long has this place been open?" she asked Shawn.

Shawn laughed at her response about the restaurant.

"It's been here almost ten years," he answered her.

She looked surprised when a thought came to her.

"Wow, is this the place they were building before I moved away?"

Shawn nodded.

"Yeah. The original owner was Mrs. Renea Aunester before she passed away. Now her daughter, Acalla, and her husband, Phillip, run it."

Tiny looked around the fascinating food joint with awe. She had missed out on so much that it was impossible for her to think of the life she had back on DK Island. She used to eat at a small food shack Funky opened up for the residents, and it was usually just island food like fruit and fish. This place was much much more different.

Shawn looked at Tiny's awe-stricken face.

"What's wrong, Ti", he asked, breaking Tiny from her trace.

Tiny looked at him, jumping at the sound of his voice.

"N...nothing. Just got lost in thought", she finally replied after gathering herself. "So, let's go eat."

Shawn nodded in agreement, as they walked into the restaurant, hand in hand.

"Here's your food," said a young waitress, handing Tiny a platter of pineapple pizza and Shawn a plate of unagi sushi.

Shawn and Tiny smiled and thanked the young woman. Tiny looked back at her plate

"Wow, it looks so good," Tiny cheered, picking up her pizza.

Shawn chuckled.

"It is. Try it."

Tiny nodded and took a bite of her pizza. Her eyes widened at the rich taste of pineapple and cheese.

"Mmmm, this is delicious," she beamed, taking another bite of it.

Shawn smiled at her.

"Told you so," he told her.

Tiny smiled at Shawn.

"I know, and i'm glad you told me," she told him back.

Shawn chuckled.

"Me too."

Tiny finished the rest of her pizza with a smile of delight. Shawn did the same with his sushi.

"Wow! So full!" Tiny said in delight.

Shawn smiled.

"A meal like that is worth it. This place was really built for a good cause, to please me."

Tiny laughed, which caused Shawn to nearly fall out of his seat.

"What? What is it?"

"That was funny," Tiny laughed.

Shawn blushed, scratching the back of his head.

"R...really? Other girls don't think i'm funny at all. They think i'm obnoxius and rude. Especially your friends."

Tiny sent him an angry look.

"Well, what do you expect? Picking on us all the time when we were kids. You kinda deserve it."

Shawn's face turns sullen and depressed, as if he might cry.

"I...i know. I'm so so sorry about that. I was stupid. So stupid. I don't know what i was back then."

Shawn put his hands in his face and made a miffled groan, dissipointed in hmself for doing all of things he had done in the past. Even though she was a victim, Tiny felt bad for making Shawn upset. She lowered her head in shame.

"I'm sorry, Shawn," she told him.

Shawn looked at her, eyes widened at her reaction. He had made her upset by being upset. He reached his hand out and placed it on her shoulder. Tiny's head rose a little to look in Shawn's grey eyes.

"No, it's my fault, Tiny. I was young and stupid and i had no idea what i was doing back then. but i promise you i will make it up to you if you find in your heart to forgive me."

Shawn eyes began to leak. Never in her life has she seen a boy cry over her. It broke her heart to see him so full of guilt and despair.

Tiny's eyes welled up at the unbearable sight.

"Shawn, please, don't apolligize. i forgive you one hundred percent. So please don't cry. Please."

By then, the tears in Tiny's eyes had spilled over and Tiny found herself into Shawn's arms. The rest of the dinner was quiet.

After their dramatic dinner, Tiny and Shawn walked spwn the street to a little cinema called "CRMT", which stood for Creed Rock Movie Theater. Tiny and Shawn walked up to the little window

"Two for 'Planet of the Apes'," Shawn requested.

The little woman behind the glass typed something in on her little computer as two tickets popped out of the little slot on the desk.

"That'll be ten Creddits, please," she told them.

Shawn reached in his pocket and pulled out a Creddit bill, which was mark with a ten. The woman exchanged the bill for the tickets and smiled.

"Enjoy the show."

Shawn nodded and walked into the movie theater, followed by Tiny. They had just eaten so they didnt bother to look at the quickly ran into the theater and find two seats near the back. As Tiny sits down, she felt a warm arm wrap around her. She look to her right and saw Shawn smiling at her. She smiled back.

"You're warm," she told him.

He chuckled.

"Yeah, i know. So are you."

She blushed and leaned her head against his shoulder, as the theater grew dark and the movie began

Half-way through the movie, Tiny felt her eyes get heavy but she fought the fatige and continued watching the movie. She felt Shawn shift but didnt put much consideration into it. But what happened next was absolutly unexpected.

She began to nod off once again. She wasn't expecting nothing but a warm and happy dream, but instead she felt something warm against her lips. She opened her eyes and saw Shawn's luscious face and felt his warm lips on hers. At first she was shocked but after about ten seconds of letting him take over, she joined him for a nice thirty second kiss.

After departing, Shawn looked into Tiny's eyes, who were full of surprise. He smiled at her and took her into his arms once again.

"Tiny, I have a very important question to ask you."

Tiny looked at him, confused.

"What is it, Shawn?"

He looked her in the eyes.

"Do you love me?"

Once again, another cliffhanger. Sorry about that. But I had to. Next chapter on the way.
