"Where are we going chu?" Pierce cutely asks as he gingerly grips my hand. My cheek twitches into a smile as I guide him through the Amusement Park. His ear twitches as the keys hooked to my belt jingle with every step.
"Why do you have keys Jackie?" Ha. I can't hide anything from this little mouse.
"It's a surprise~." I sing trying to hide my laughter. I can't wait to see his reaction~
"Surprise?" He asked as a smile lights up his face. "What is it? What is it chu~?" He excitedly asks as he bounces in place, sliding his fingers between mine. I snort with laughter at his adorable reaction pulling him towards his untimely terror.
"Yeah. For helping me out around the Amusement Park."
"Really? I've never gotten a surprise before. Well ... not the nice ones, anyway." He sadly sighs as his ears droop. I pause, rethinking my twisted plot before shrugging it off. It's his fault for being so clumsy! I had to go back to every ride he's helped me fix and clean up an even bigger mess.
"Yeah? Then you're going to love this one." I'm lying. "It's this way. Be careful there're stairs here." I say as I raise his hand up, helping him up the steps.
"Where are we going?" He asks again as he steps closer, keeping his arm rubbing up against my own.
"I told you it's a surprise." I hum as we reach the top. I take all the twists and turns of the normal line route which is completely empty. The Amusement Park is closed for now and I'm losing sleep but I can care less. This is going to be fantastic! "Sit over here."
"Ok~," he enthusiastically hums innocently sitting down in the front seat of the fastest roller coaster we have in the Amusement Park. I struggle to hold in my laughter as I pull out the loop of keys and plug it into the ignition. As I back up I keep a long piece of string connected to the key so when I pull on it the ride will automatically turn on. I eagerly hop into the seat next to him perfectly imagining his reaction.
"Hold still - Pierce what are you doing?" I ask with a laugh as he leans back, lounging across my lap.
"Huh?" He innocently asks as he chuckles, too happy for words. "I'm so happy, Jackie." He softly hums, reaching up with his hand and blindly sweep his finger across my jaw.
"Get up you silly mouse! You need to sit up for your surprise."
"Ok~," he hums completely unaware. I reach up and pull the hard plastic harness down immediately pinning the startled mouse to the seat.
"Chu? What is this, Jackie?" He asks, completely unaware of what's to come as he tugs at the restraints. "I'm pinned."
"I know. I am too." I laugh, finishing up the safety precautions before yanking on the string. His head snaps towards the main board, ears intent on the tiny click the key made. He nearly squeals as a loud siren went off and a booming voice creaks in through the large speaker.
ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. YOU ARE NOW ABOUT TO EMBARK ON THE RACING JET. PLEASE KEEP ALL VALUABLES TUCKED SAFELY UNDER THE SEAT AS YOU ENJOY THE RIDE. PLEASE KEEP HANDS AND FEET WITHIN THE CART AT ALL TIMES AND REMEMBER TO SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LITTLE TINY LUNGS. THANK YOU.
"Um ... J-Jackie? Where are we, chu?" He shakily asks as his face pales. I bite back my laughter as I reach over and tug at the end of the blindfold letting it fall off his face. He blinks, his eyes readjusting as he immediately realizes where he is. His face pales as his jaw drops, looking over to me with wide eyes.
"Surprise~," I sing as the ride chinks forward, setting stationed for a straight shoot high into the air. I laugh with anticipation excitedly looking up at the twirling metal mess we are about to shoot through. This is going to be fun!
"W-W-Wait no please no! I don't wanna!" He cries madly yanking at the immovable restraints. Tears bud at the corner of his eyes as I maniacally laugh at his misfortune. I kinda feel sorry for him right now. He freezes as he realizes there is no escape and looks up to me with big tear filled eyes.
"J-Jackie ~!" My eyes soften as I smile at him.
"You'll be fine." I say as the countdown begins. "Oh this is my favorite part!"
THREE
"Noooooo! Jackie, I don't like rollercoasters!"
TWO
"J-Jackie~!" He wails making my heart throb. Ah ... I think I've gone too far with this.
ONE
"Sorry, Pierce." I mutter under my breath. He glances over, sniffling.
"H-Huh?"
LAUNCH
"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KK!"
The wind tears through my hair as I scream in excitement, overshadowed by Pierce's screaming. This is awesome! My whole center of gravity swings around and around with the twirls as the ride performs gravity defying stunts at the speeds we are going. I hold my breath and lean with the ride too enthralled with the metal beast to sense any fear. The ride jerks to a stop all too soon as my belly laughter fills the entire track.
"That was EPIC! Isn't this fun?" I lean back against the ride, continuing to laugh as I wait for Peirce's response.
Nothing.
"Peirce?" I ask, glancing over to the slumping mouse. I blink and lift off the restraint touching Pierce's face.
"Pierce?" I call again as I quickly pull up his restraint. He immediately falls forward, limp.
"Oh my gosh did you actually pass out?!" I shout, mortified with the prank gone horribly wrong. Oh my gosh is he ok?! I touch my fingers to his jugular feeling his pulse. H-He's just passed out not dead ... calm down ... oh my gosh I just made the little mouse pass out!
"I'm so sorry! Oh crap oh crap oh crap! Pierce, wake up." I beg patting his cheek. His head lolls my way, out cold.
"Oh man this isn't good," I whine slapping a hand over my face. Why do all my pranks go wrong in the end? I awkwardly crawl out of the seat, straddling his lap for a moment before tripping out of the ride. My hands latch onto Pierce's jacket as I haul him from the seat and onto the cement. This is terrible! How am I going to make this up to him?
I heavily sigh at the horror I've inflicted on the innocent little mouse. Wow I hate myself right now ... I just wanted him to scream in sheer terror not freaking pass out on me! I gently lay his head down and leap over the tracks pulling out the keys from the ignition. Curse me and my terrible sense of humor! I hastily return to his side and pocket the keys.
Hm ... I've got a good idea how I can make this up to him.
‡
Pierce meekly moans as his head rolls over my lap. Oh~ looks like he's finally coming to. I softly rub his cheek making sure the blindfold is on properly. He'll like this surprise I know it. It's actually a pretty nice one. Pierce lolls his head back and forth, gaining his senses before stiffening.
"EEK!" He squeaks. I lightly throw myself over him making his head hit my stomach.
"Ow! Pierce, relax. We aren't on the rollercoaster anymore." I say, pushing his chest back down to the grass. He breathes in and out incredibly fast as his head flicks in every direction, his ears working overtime to ensure I'm telling the truth.
"P-P-Promise?" He lightly squeaks with a slight trill to his voice. Aw now I just feel like a real bully. "T-That was mean, chu!"
"I know, I know. Sorry." I mutter lightly running my hand over his jaw. "I promise to play nice, really."
" ... Promise promise?" He asks with a wary frown. I sheepishly chuckle and pat his chest.
"Yeah. Can you do me a favor?"
" ... what?" He asks, completely apprehensive about what I have in store for him. I rustle together some of the wrapping around the dozen gifts or so gifts. I hope he likes these.
"I need you to test some of these out. Now I'm going to feed you them and I want you to guess what flavor they are." I say as I take out a small sampler spoon, purposefully tapping it against the others so he can hear the plastic on plastic. He curiously looks in the direction of the sound, his tail twitching in anticipation. I lightly lop off the point of the plain cheesecake carefully balancing it on the spoon.
"It's regular cheesecake."
"You can smell it?" I guess like Boris he can just smell better than I can. Drat, I was hoping to surprise him!
"No, I hear it although I can smell it too." He notes tapping his chin.
"You can ... hear it?" I ask, shocked. How can someone hear cheesecake?
"When you dipped the spoon in it and it smoothly went through until it got to the crust I could tell that it is regular cheesecake."
"Really?" I ask, astounded as an idea begins to form. "Can you do that with all of them?"
"Yes. I often have cheesecake and I know what they sound like." He confidently says with a broad grin. I pause at his smile. Yeah, I like it when he smiles more than him screaming and passing out hands down.
"Alright then let's make a game out of it. I have about two dozen cheesecakes here I was going to give you but if you can guess what they are I'll let you have the slice for yourself." There's no way he can get them all. There's just no way! I couldn't even hear the spoon going into the cheesecake it was so quiet. What can I give him that he would even want? "Hm~ now what about the prize?"
"Oh! Oh! I know! I wanna kiss!" He sings with a wide smile as his tail flips back and forth. I laugh and roll my eyes.
"Fine. IF you can get all of the flavors right you can have a kiss." I agree. There's no way he can get them all. It's just impossible. "Ready?"
"Yay~ I'm gonna get a kiss kiss kiss~ ok I'm ready." he sings pointing both his ears towards the cheesecakes. He slips over onto his stomach and folds his arms over my lap so he can comfortably rest his chin there.
"Good. Now, listen." I say as I take another spoon sampler. I watch him, making sure he is paying attention before I slowly sink the plastic rim into the cheesecake slice.
"Blueberry." He immediately says before the plastic spoon can even touch the crust.
"My gosh that's amazing!" I ask in amazement as I get the next one ready. That was a fluke. Blueberry is one of the most popular ones.
"T-Thank you." He says with a sheepish smile and a faint touch of pink on his cheeks.
"Alright then. And this?" I ask, placing aside the blueberry and pull out the next one.
"Butter Pecan."
"Y-Yeah ... is that blindfold tight enough?" I ask checking to make sure he can't see anything.
"Yes it is chu. I can tell from the slightly harder topping and the fact the spoon knocked into a pecan piece within it." He explains before tilting his head to the side resting it against my stomach. I continue, undeterred in my quest to beat him. I will win!
"And this?"
"Caramel Pecan Fudge."
"This?"
"Chocolate chip."
"And now this one."
"Chocolate Covered Cherry."
"This one," I ask, getting more hesitant. Relax there are still like six more! I place the other one aside with the ones he got, putting the next one about a foot away from him.
"Chocolate Grand Marnier."
"Now this one."
"Chocolate marble."
"This one?" I squeak getting nervous as I look over what's left. Uh oh ... I think I just sold off my lips to the little mouse.
"Chocolate Mousse."
"This one."
"Cranberries and Spice."
"Careful this one is tricky -,"
"Double Chocolate Almond.
"Dang it. And this?"
"Eggnog."
" ... this one-,"
"Oh that's one of my favorites! Espresso!" He excitedly hums as his tail flicks back and forth. I smile at his enthusiasm and set it aside.
"Do you like coffee?"
"I love it! It helps keep me up." Hm ... I'll keep that in mind for later. I pull out one of the last ones hoping to stump him by hiding it behind me.
"This one."
"Grasshopper."
" ... Darn it. Yeah, and this?"
"Irish Cream n' Chip!"
"Gah! And this?" I'm starting to get a bit anxious here. Maybe if I try to trick him up a bit?
"Easy! That's Key Lime and Lemon Creme. You cut two at once." He hums, impressed with himself as he lightly nuzzles against my belly. "You're soft~,"
"Yeah yeah and this?" I ask starting to get a bit frustrated. I won't lose!
"That's another favorite of mine. The Mocha Almond Fudge, yummy~!"
"This."
"Peanut Butter."
"And now-,"
"Pumpkin Slice."
"Alright then. And now this one?" I ask a bit nervously pulling out the last few I have in reserve. Uh oh ... I'm running out of tricks. And cheesecakes.
"Strawberry."
"White Chocolate Cherry." Crap. I'm on my final one.
"Alright this is the last one." I say, gulping. Crap. I think I'm going to be giving the little guy a kiss. Geh, I hate losing! Ah~ but I was the one who made it a game. Oh well.
"White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl!" I heave out a heavy sigh as I push the final one away. Darn it he got them all!
"Is that all of them?" He asks, excited as he pushes himself up with his arms. I smile in defeat and lightly tug off the blindfold. "Yeah you got it."
"Chu~!" He cries before tackling me over. I heave as I hit the ground smacking my head against the grass. Ow ... I bulk as his hands grip my jaws, his lips quickly rushing in over my mouth. I stiffen in shock. Wow this mouse moves fast! My heart begins to pound as he slightly parts his mouth, angling to get a better advantage.
Wow he's not holding back. But this kiss feels ... different. I do my best to keep a clear head but he leans back making me following him up to his knees. His fingers run around to the back of my head and tangles up in my hair as his other hand slides around my waist pushing my lower back closer to him.
... wait what?
T-This is a really intense kiss. Like, an adult kiss. Not a Pierce kiss. My blood begins to boil as I try to pull away. I don't like this it's making me feel just ... strange. Pierce slightly grunts in the back of his throat as he follows through toppling over on top. I gasp as he pulls back with a deep blush and hazy looking eyes.
"J-Jackie, I love you." He bravely says as his hand travels down my leg pulling my knee up around his hip. My heart stutters as heat rushes to my face. W-What?!
"H-Huh?" Like ... as in a friend like?
Oh who am I kidding friends don't kiss like that!
"I really, really love you Jackie."
"L-Love ... as in ... ," I mutter trying to find what he means. Does he mean like that ... ?
"As in love between a man and a woman." He explains before kissing my jaw. Oh gosh ... I cough and push the puzzled mouse back trying to sort out my thoughts.
"Pierce, how old are you?"
"Hm? Sixteen chu."
"Exactly. And I'm eighteen."
"So?" He asked, tilting his head. I open my mouth to argue my point but stop short.
So what? There's a two year age difference. That's not going to deter something like this. Well crap I don't have any ammunition then. I ... I really have no idea what to think of this. I jump slightly as he leans his head in and touches his lips to the base of my neck.
"Do you not love me?"
"N-No, it's not like that. I like you Pierce but it's more in, like, a friendly way." I begin my horrible argument scrambling around in my brain for something to use. I've got squat!
"Yay! You like me!" Pierce adorably cries as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. I stiffen and try to push the mouse away but he snuggles closer with an adorable smile strong enough to make my heart stop.
How can I say no to a face like that?!
‡
Oh~ have they become an official couple in Pierce's eyes? How is Jackie going to squeeze herself out of this one, if that's even possible with the dense mouse? 10 REVIEWSfor the next~
