Well my fanfiction is officially uncanon now... no really... an episode just came out showing Russell
as one of the last pets to arrive at the pet shop, before penny and after Vinnie... HOW THE HELL AM I
GONNA RIGHT MY WAY OUT OF THIS?!
"So let me get this straight!" the small lizard half yelled to Pepper.
"He kissed you... like... on the lips!?'
"Yes... for the fourth time". Pepper said annoyed at her friend's overblown reaction.
"BUT WHY?... GROSS!", Vinnie said.
"Whaddya mean WHY!?" Pepper said. "Curry boy wanted himself some American spice...Any boy
would be lucky to get a taste of these lips", she said cockily, annoyed at his disbelief of Sunil's attraction
to her.
Vinnie cringed... "Ok but seriously though, that cant be the end of it... what happened after that to
make you guys drift apart".
Pepper began to feel worse at the mention of that, she came down from her boasting high, forced to
deal with the horrible memory face on.
"Well... at that moment it shocked me just about as much as it did you".
Pepper forcefully tugged free from Sunil's embrace... and with the gravity force from the dip she was in,
she fell to the floor.
Sunil looked with mild surprise down at his friend... still trying to process the situation.
Pepper looked up at Sunil just as confused about the event that transpired. She laughed a little, she
didn't know what else to do.
"he he... what was that about?" she replied, choosing to interpret the kiss as confusion or a joke on his
part.
Sunil froze in fear, his friend thought his action was a joke, she didn't embrace the kiss, something that
he thought she should have done if she had liked him.
"Wha-wha-what do y-you mean what was it about?" He peeped.
"Whadya mean what do i mean... why'd ya kiss me buddy?" She replied.
Sunil was mortified... was this her rejecting his advances... "I... i...i ...i... didn't mean too".
"really?" She replied... "That is something very hard to do by accident."
Sunil began to tense up more and more, he was ready to get up and run away, but he had to stand tall,
He had to face his fear like he did long ago, he would have to face his future girlfriend like he faced his
now best friends in that moment.
"Pepper", he started... puffing his chest up and swallowing a gulp of air, ready to confess.
"I just have to tell you that... i like you alot... you are very pretty and you are the best friend i have
ever had... i kissed you because i wanted too... i should have asked first, and i am sorry, but do you like
me as well?"
He finished with a nervous smile on his face.
Pepper froze, eyes widened, lip synching down, she recalled to Vinnie how the initial shock took her
by surprise first, she couldn't even comprehend what she just heard.
"S-s-so you weren't kidding about that...?" She said.
"No i wasn't, i like you, i want you to be my girlfriend Pepper... what do you think?"
Her heart nearly skipped a beat in that moment, she started to shake at the weight of Sunil's confession.
"I...i don't know..." She said back.
At that moment Sunil became incredibly nervous, her confusion mirrored his.
"What do you do not know... you do not know if you want to be my girlfriend or you do not understand
what i meant?"
Pepper admitted to Vinnie as they were talking that she didn't love Sunil when she was a kid and when
She was being confronted, small tears began to form in the corners of her eyes as she said this,
obviously this was an emotional past moment that led to them breaking up... but Vinnie was very
perplexed as to why her not loving him would make her cry, it was only expected when such a brash girl
was so young and undeveloped.
Pepper in her shock continued to speak to Sunil at the party.
"I...i... don't know... i don't know if i love you... i've never had a crush on anyone... ive never
Loved anyone...".
Sunil became slightly disheartened, but became stronger... she didn't know if he loved him... maybe
he could test her... convince her of loving him even.
"Just look into your heart Pepper, you have to like me somehow, why would you hold my hand and hug
me so much if there isn't something for me in your heart... look into your heart... what does it say
about me".
"i...i ...i just did that stuff to because we were friends... i-i-i didn't know you like me..."
"Well... i do." He replied.
The tears in Peppers eyes became more noticeable to Sunil "Well i...i... i can't be your girlfriend...
your my friend... friends don't kiss each other... friends
Cant be a couple."
Sunil's chest felt as if it had caved in from the words said, the fear of her rejection had come true,
everything that could go wrong did. He began to cry silently, tears running down his face, mouth open
from shock at the final destination of his desire.
He then realized couldn't let this go farther, the jig was up, his desire was vanquished. He tried to
restore his previous state, but it was no good.
"PEPPER!... I am sorry!... I should not have said anything!... just forget what i have said!... lets
forget about it! Lets just be friends like you want!"
Pepper remained silent... tears staining her eyes as well.
"I cant do this..." She said grievingly, "I cant do this right now".
She began to scurry away, Sunil began to chase after her.
"PEPPER! COME BACK!" he yelled.
She stopped and turned around, looking sunil in mid stream of her weaping.
"Pepper please..." He said more calmingly. "We can work this out... we do not have to do this right
now... we can deal with this whenever your ready".
Pepper looked at him, tears still in eyes. And in a quiet hushed voice she managed to blurt through her
Tears.
"Ill never be ready..." She said scurrying away... crying as she ran.
Sunil looked dumb stricken, immediately understanding the weight of her statement, immediately
realizing he couldn't repair what he had done just minutes before.
He let out an utter shriek of painful sadness. An utter scream that reflected the weight of his friends
painful departure. Tears poured from his eyes as he stood there, broken.
Even the humans at the party began to look around, trying to find the source of the high pitched
squeal they heard below them.
"And that was it" Pepper said, "It all ended just like that"...
Letting her floodgates down, the tears she had never let anyone see, she felt herself lunge at Vinnie,
hugging him as he stared on in shock.
Well that was... dark. It gets better happier, i promise.
