You sat in the back seat of the Onion. You looked down. Rather than sitting next to you, Candy look the seat on the other side of the bus. 'I knew it. She's just like those other assholes. She just threw me away.' You looked at her. She had her head down. Her eyes were wide and they showed no emotion. You gave a snort and turned away. You didn't want her anymore. Nobody wanted you. You were silent on the way back to school. 'I don't understand… And she seemed like such a good friend.' A second voice appeared in your mind. It was low, and had a slight bit of anger in it. 'You're just giving up? Think of all she did for you.' And that you did. You did remember some times she cared. 'She tried stopping you from fighting. She gave you the leaf. She forgave you. All you did was be a bitch.' The voice was right. You relaxed. All you did was cause her pain. You decided that you were going to apologize to her after school. Nicely, and calmly.
You saw Candy flying off after school. You ran to her. "Candy, I'm sorry," You panted from running. "Yes, Granite?" Candy showed no emotion in her eyes. "I'm sorry for leaving earlier. I caused you a lot of stress since we met, and I want to apologize for it. Candy looked confused. "I know I might seem like a big jerk to you, but I want to be even with you." You stood there, legs spread and arms outstretched. "Beat me up." You stood there, eyes closed, expecting Candy to throw a bomb rock at your face. she didn't move at all. "Why do you want me to hurt you?" Candy looked concerned. "Because, I've been a huge bitch to you since we met, and I want you to let your anger out on me as punishment." You did the same pose as earlier. You were ready for anything Candy had to punish you with.
For a minute, nothing happened. Then you felt someone push down your arms. You opened your eyes. Black eyes met blue ones. "Granite, I would never hurt you, no matter how you hurt me." You felt upset. "But all I've done is cause you pain and stress." You looked down. "You're my only friend and all I've done is disrespect you. Knowing that you aren't mad at me for doing so, is a fucking miracle." "I'm not angry because I understand." The both of you didn't know that you were both floating at least sixteen pikmin feet off the ground by now. Candy held on to your sides. "You're my friend no matter what you do to me. And the truth is… I'm gay too." Your eyes widened. "I just didn't sit next to you because I thought you needed alone time." You both flew even higher, not realizing it. Pretty soon, you were in the clouds. You felt weird, so you looked down. "HOLY SHIT I'M HONKEY DONKEY TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS!" You screamed. Candy flew you down as quickly as possible. She blushed. "I-I'm sorry! It happens when I'm nervous!" You took her hand. "It's okay." The two of you stood there for a moment, not knowing what the future held for you.
