Chapter 10: Sourness

Mac has really put the concept to hard thought as he sat in the dining hall. Bloo has been spending more time with Berry than him. He knew that it was marvelous that the two found love, but at times, a couple needs some time apart from eachother to spend time with comrades. An ordinary relationship constantly ends up like this-the male or female discovers a soul mate, and the best friend is left to stand alone.

''Maybe I should just consult Bloo about this,'' Mac concluded,''but he'll think that I'm just trying to hog attention. Although, we haven't played any games or talked to eachother in a while. I come here, and I see him cuddling, or kissing Berry. It's getting kinda out of hand now. The two need time apart.'' With that, Mac strode over to find Bloo in the kitchen, gourging himself on a peanut and jelly sandwich.

''Bloo,'' Mac started,''we need to talk.''

''Oh, hold on.'' Bloo took another bite, and seemed to stupidly examine the scrumptious food. Thinking that he was finished, Mac opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by Bloo saying,''No. Not yet.'' Moments following, about two minutes, Bloo grabbed mini bites, and examined it again and again, acting slightly retarted. Why would someone want to take a bite of a food, and just look at it, and switch the positions.

''Bloo!''

This made the blob jump.''Okay! So, what do you wanna talk about?''

''Me and you...no. You and Berry need time to spend with friends.''

''What are you talking about?''

''Everytime I come here, I see you and her always in your room, nuzzling or some kind of other love thing.''

''So?''

''So, I think Berry should spend with her friends for a few hours, as well as you also.''

''Your jealous, aren't you?''

''JEALOUS? How am I jealous?''

''One, you're acting like it, and two, you say me and Berry need to spend with friends, and you're one of my friends.''

''Okay. I just miss old times. We always played with Wilt, Ed, Coco, and Rio but all you do is do things with Berry.''

''Wilt and Rio love eachother. Why not tell them that they need time with friends?''

''They do love eachother as soul mates, but do spend time with friends reguarly. Basically, they keep it under control. With you and Berry, you're just ''loving'' one another all the time.''

''Oh, Lord! What do I have to do just to at least have someone I love in my life without Daddy one my case?''

''I'm not your parent, but your best friend. What about we just go play Monopoly with the others?''

''Whatever! I'll do what I got to just to make you not jelly!''

''For the last time, I'm not jealous!'' Bloo playfully puched Mac in the shoulder. The boy closed an eye, and his mouth widened in a giant grin, pulling him out of misery as they made their way to Bloo's room. What they didn't own knowlege of was that Berry was hiddened behind a tall, black, skinny, stand that held a purple vase of pink flowers. Not one word was missed from her massive listening ears.

''If that boy thinks he can break me and Bloo up, then he got another thing coming!'' she shouted, making sure it was a faint yell to not attract any onlookers.''Speaking of Bloo, I think I'll give Hooligan Coco a small visit.'' She trotted to Coco's room, and knocked on the door gently. Coco answered it momentarily, still in a depressed mood from her secret kept deep within her heart.

''Coco, Coco.''(Hey, Berry.)

''Hello, Coco. May I have a word with a you for a second?'' Berry tried her best to devise a crisp, sweet, kind voice to not signal her rage. After letting her in, that was when she would put the hurtin' on the ordinary girl.

''Coco.''(Sure.) Coco lead the way in, fastening the door as reentering. She took her place on her bed, crosslegged as Berry didn't desire a seat whatsoever.

''Look, you hooligan!'' she shouted for an exilerating start. Coco raised an eyebrow in confusion, but then realized, what if Berry found out about the note that she gave to Bloo the previous day? ''If you think that you can get with my Blooberry sweetheart, then think again!'' The magenta brute's tounge seemed to make movements like a snake, and her small, fingerless hand poked at Coco's eyes, finding it very irritating. Coco's eyebrows immediatley shot to floor, not replying a word, as Berry seized the poking in her right eye and continued her excessive ranting and raving.

''I saw that note that you gave to Bloo! I'm the one for him, so I suggest you step back!''

It was now time for Coco's input on this. ''Coco Coco Coco Coco! Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco!'' (I saw him first! I love him more than you do!)

''No! I'm the one for him! Do I have to repeat myself?''

''Coco Coco Coco! Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco, Coco..'' (What the heck! Y'all about to have a baby and all, but...)

''But what stupid head?''

''Coco Coco Coco!''(I'm not stupid!)

''According to what Bloo said, the note was stupid.''

''Coco Coco Coco!''(Just get out!)

Berry snickered in delight. ''Whatever.'' With that, she happily walked out the room.

''Coco, Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco!''(Yeah, you better get out of here!)

It was about seven thirty, and it was time for Mac to head to his apartment.

''Bye guys,'' Mac made his farewell to his companions. The imaginaries waved.

''Bye, Mac,'' Eduardo, Wilt, Bloo, and Rio chorused. Mac was about to turn a corner, when he was stopped by a certain magenta figure. Yet again, it happened to be Berry.

''Hi, Berry.''

''Hi. And I want to ask you something.''

''What?''

''Who do you think you are? Trying to keep me and Bloo apart from eachother?''

''No. It's not that. I think that you and Bloo just needed a tiny time to be with friends.''

''Well, I don't have any friends.''

''That's maybe why you just drool over Bloo all the time! All your conversations consist of him. Do you like anything else except him?''

''That aint none of your beez wacks! I like what I like, so deal with it. I'm watching you, so don't get in my way!'' It was kind of weird that Berry arrived in Mac's path all this way just to talk to him. Why didn't she just do it when he was at Foster's? Being finished, Berry skidded back to the masion in the night as Mac shot his eyebrows down in anger. Who did she think she was?
