-Meanwhile-
"See him?" May asked Daniel while looking around.
"Nope." Daniel shook his head, "It's pretty crowded."
"No kidding." She sighed.
Daniel noticed until he saw a blur of purple from the corner of his eye. "Hey! I think I see him!"
"Really?! Where?!" May swiveled.
"Over there!" He dashed over to a figure wearing a similar purple sweater. He placed a hand on his shoulder. "There you are, we've been looking all over for-"
The figure turned around. It wasn't Bradley. Instead it was a man with a mustache, who looked a bit startled.
"Uh, sorry...heheh...we thought you were-" Daniel was cut off by the french insults thrown at him from the man.
"Ah...let's go..." May pulled Daniel away from him, who muttered an apology in french.
"Sheesh, that was harsh..." Daniel rolled his eyes as they set off.
"Yeah, but it's best not to get into a fight with him. It would be a waste of time." May said.
"Right." He clicked his tongue.
After an hour of searching, they sat on a bench.
"This is hopeless...where could he be?" May groaned.
"Maybe...abducted by aliens?" Daniel joked.
"Seriously?" She gave him an unamused look.
"Then the aliens take him to their home, planet mars, and turn him into their leader." He grinned.
"Puh-lease, he was the leader of the Gammas, I can't imagine him becoming a ruler of aliens." She snorted.
"You never know." He said. "Then he attempts to destroy Earth..."
"And then what? Super Daniel saves the day?" She giggled.
"Along with his trusty sidekick, Super Maylin." Daniel said. "Ooh, this should so be a graphic novel..."
"Yeah..." A strong breeze made May's summer hat blew off from her head. Her grey eyes widened as it flew in the air. "Ack! My hat!"
She stood up and went after it.
"Hey, wait!" Daniel followed her.
After so many tries of catching it, she finally caught it, though she bumped into someone.
"Ow! Hey, watch where your going-May?" A voice said.
May looked up to see Bradley. "Bradley..." Her relieved expression became irritated. "Where the HECK were you?!"
"Places." He said, a smirk appearing on his face. "What, did you miss me?"
"I did not!" May exclaimed, then muttered, "A little."
"What?" He grinned.
"Nothing." She narrowed her eyes, and noticed Bradley was twirling something behind his back. "Um, what's that behind you?"
"Huh? Um, nothing out of the ordinary." He simply said.
"Nothing, huh?" May smirked and lunged at him for it, pinning Bradley to the ground.
"HEY!" He hollered, and she yanked it out from his grasp.
"A rose?" She stared at the red rose.
"Congratulations, Sherlock...now get off!" He groaned, and she did so.
"So...who's the lucky girl?" She asked, standing up.
"...You." He stood up, brushing the grass off of his clothes.
"Really?" She looked surprised. "Is this payback for those roses I gave you?"
"What? That was YOU?" He spluttered.
"Eeyup." She smiled, and for the first time, she saw the guilt in his eyes.
"And all this time...I was treating you like-"
She cut him off. "I'll forgive you for all the things you've done in the past, but one condition."
"What's that?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Treat my friends with respect. And don't worry, I'll tell them to do the same for you." She declared.
Bradley was about to protest, but then sighed. "Fine."
"Good." She grinned, slipping the rose through her hair. "Now...give me a nice smile."
His eyes narrowed at her face. You're kidding, right?
"Come on, I've seen you do it before. Please?" She giggled.
He sighed again, and gave her a half smile. "Satisfied yet?"
"Eh, sort of." She shrugged, grinning.
"I'll take that as a yes." He said.
Daniel caught up to them, panting. "There you are!"
She took him with her?! I should have known. Bradley thought, annoyed.
"Yeah." May smiled, starting to walk off. "Now let's head back, shall we?"
"Right." Daniel followed, slipping an arm around May's shoulder, enough to make Bradley glare with rage and envy.
This guy has gone too far.
