Well I think this chapter has been a bit overdue, and I have built up to this chapter! Well, I won't delay ant longer, here's the chapter! Enjoy it and review it! ^_^
Just like her sisters, Marie had a busy day at home. Doing chores and other housework, all she really wanted was to see her crush, Double D. She went to bed along with her sisters, perhaps she would see him tomorrow. When she began drifting off to sleep, she seemed perfectly fine, she didn't toss and turn. At least not yet...
Marie and the other Kankers were in their trailer, still living their usual lives. This time however, Lee and May were dating Eddy and Ed respectively! Their relationships also seemed to be going on without any issue! It was a clear and sunny morning, Marie had a confident look on her face. She decided that today would be the day that she told Double D about her feelings for him!
"You can do this Marie! I know you can get your boy to love ya'!" Lee said, cheering Marie on.
"Yeah, then we all be with the men of our dreams!" May added.
"Aww thanks girls! But do you think I should get dressed up? I don't want to look like a slob in front of my dreamboat!" Marie argued.
"Ya' look fine Marie!" Lee replied, May nodded in agreement. Marie still felt a little unsure, she went to her room and decided to put on some makeup, just to be sure. As for clothes, she went with her usual attire. Marie went to go search for Double D, her sisters cheered her on as she left.
Marie searched everywhere for Double D, the junkyard, the construction zone, around the school, and even at the swimming hole! But no matter where she looked he wasn't there, Marie then began to look in the lane and sure enough, Double D was there! He was talking to his fellow Eds and the other neighborhood kids. Marie thought about heading back for the trailer, she was hoping to find Double D alone, or at least only with Ed and Eddy. But with the whole neighborhood there, it made Marie nervous and hesitant to approach him. In the end she began to head for home, however she was stopped by May and Lee!
"And where do you think you're going?" Lee asked
"I was just-" Marie stammered before May interrupted her.
"You were about to go back home weren't ya'!" May exclaimed.
"Ok! I was heading home! I can't tell him if everyone's there with him!" Marie argued, Lee looked at her with a confident look on her face.
"Marie, you're a Kanker! And being a Kanker means you ain't giving up right?" Lee asked
"Y-yeah." Marie replied
"What did you say? I couldn't hear ya'!" Lee taunted.
"Yeah!" Marie stated.
"Maybe you should speak up!" May teased. "What do Kankers do?"
'Kankers never give up!" Marie shouted
"Now go out there and tell Double D how ya' feel!" Lee exclaimed, sending Marie off towards Double D and the other kids.
Marie approached Double D, she looked nervous and she was blushing, but she still had a sense of confidence around her, she was ready to tell him...
"Double D..." Marie said, everyone turned to face her, the kids all looked confused as to why she was there. Strangely though, nobody seemed worried that one of the Kanker Sisters was right in front of them. Another strange thing was that none of the kids said anything... They all just stared at Marie as if whatever she was going to say was unimportant and when she finished speaking they would just resume speaking to each other. It wasn't until Double D said something did this tension break.
"Yes, what is it?" He said, Marie couldn't help but be lost in his eyes. Marie snapped out of her daze.
"Double D, I just wanted to tell you that I... I love you! I've loved you for a long time now. You drive me crazy!" Marie poured out her heart to Double D, he and the others looked stunned. Everyone stood in silence, Marie looked embarrassed and the silence was maddening. It was then that Double D and the other neighborhood kids did something Marie did not expect. They... laughed...
The laughs were malicious and sounded evil!
"You think I would answer to your pitiful feelings for me?!" Double D laughed "How could I ever love you!"
Tears began to flow from Marie's face, she ran away from the others and went back home, perhaps her sisters could make her feel better. She encountered her sisters on the way back home, but... they were laughing as well! Marie fled from her sisters and into the woods.
Even in the woods Marie could still hear the laughing. No matter how far away she was she could still hear it. Marie couldn't even see where she was running due to her tears blinding her. The thing that bothered her most was Double D's malicious rejection of her and the fact that her own sisters laughed at her misfortune, they even helped give her the confidence to confess her emotions to Double D in the first place! Speaking of Double D, his reaction was also shocking, he would never willingly insult or harm others physically, emotionally, or romantically! Or did he?
Marie continued running, the sound of the laughter was deafening and it sounded more dark and evil with every passing moment. She could see the faces of the kids and her sisters laughing everywhere she went, they looked evil...
From the real world, Marie began to toss and turn, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Back in the dream world, Marie ran into the football field in the school, then everything became pitch black. There was no light anywhere, the laughing stopped as well. Marie breathed a sigh of relief, she was finally free from the torture, at least for the moment. That's when it happened, the lights went on in the field. Hundreds of people cackled and howled with laughter towards Marie's heartbreak. Among these people was Double D, suddenly, everybody had turned into Double D! They surrounded Marie, laughing right in her face! She tried to run, but she was lost in the crowd of sockheads.
The shock of the nightmare woke Marie up, she didn't wake up her sisters in the process. Marie got up from her bed and approached a window in the room, she looked up into thennight sky and watched the moon. She glanced at a nearby clock to check the time, it was 3 in the morning. Marie pondered about her dream, did Double D feel that way about her in real life? Meanwhile, in the cul-de-sac, Double D was also out of bed due to his nightmare. He was looking up at the moon as well...
Well, that's it! Sorry if this chapter isn't as long as you hoped, I hope you at least enjoyed it, next chapter is one I'm very excited for!
