Zane Or David?
Author's Notes: I don't own Uglies.
Chapter 9: Dreams
That night, Tally had a strange dream.
She dreamed that Zane and David were in a fight.
"You can't be in love with Tally," Zane said.
"No, you can't," David said.
"Tally and I both loved each other, and she's kissed me more than she's kissed you."
"So?" David said. "She loved me first!"
"No," Zane said. "From what she's told me, you loved her first. You told her she was pretty when she was an Ugly."
"That's because she was."
Tally ran at Special speed and stepped in between them. "What is going on, you two?"
"We're just umm..." David started.
"We're fighting over you," Zane said.
"Why? I already chose both of you."
"That's exactly why," David said.
"You need to pick one of us," Zane said.
"I can't," Tally said.
"Why? Why must it be so hard to choose who you really love?" Zane asked.
"Because," Tally said. "David called me pretty as an Ugly, but you took the pills and almost died because of me. So I can't."
"Didn't you already say that once before?" David said.
"Yes," said Tally. "It's true though."
"It might be," said Zane. "But you should only be in love with one person."
"When was that rule decided?" she asked.
"It's not a rule, but it should be."
"Why? Can't I love who I want?"
"Yes you can," Zane said. "However, you're better off loving only one of us."
She didn't know what was left for her to say.
"She's mine," said David, trying to pull Tally's leg.
However, her Special leg muscles fought back by being too strong for him to pull.
"You honestly think it's possible to have a me tug-of-war?" Tally asked. "You're going to be in serious pain if you do."
"If we are," said Zane. "At least it will be the best kind of pain; love pain."
That sounded so bubblehead-ish, thought Tally. Oh what am I thinking? He is a bubblehead.
Zane Or David?
