Chapter 10 - Lazlo & Patsy
In Ivy Island…
It was morning and the sun was finally rising. Patsy was just stepping out of her cabin, stretching and yawning.
"Mornin' Patsy."
Patsy looks straight ahead and saw Lazlo walking toward her, carrying two fresh peaches. At the same time he was approaching to her, she started smiling at him.
"Morning Lazlo! Where did you get those?" asked Patsy; she points her index finger on the two peaches that he was holding. "I got them from this cool place that I found," Lazlo answered, handing one of the peaches to her. "What place?" asked Patsy, as she takes a bite of the peach. "Follow me and I'll show you," said Lazlo, giving her a smile as well. He turns his back, while he takes a bite out of the peach, and walks along with Patsy following him.
After a couple of minutes walking to where Lazlo was wanting to show her, Patsy asks, "How far is it Lazlo?" "It's not too far, we're almost there," answered Lazlo. Then after a couple of minutes, he stops her. "We're here," said Lazlo, pointing to some big leafs, like a position of introduction. "Well… where is it?" asked Patsy, looking at him confused. "Behind these large bushes," said Lazlo; he lightly giggled and slowly pulled some large leafs out of the way. Patsy was about to take another bite of her peach; but when Lazlo pulled the large leafs out of the way, she paused at the moment from taking a bite with her eyes widely opens.
It was a peaceful secret land; it was a large perfect green tree, with fruit hanging on certain twigs from branches. And also it was a large clear canal, with a large waterfall pouring down onto it. On the left side of this secret paradise, were nice green grass, along with dandelions and yellow flowers. On the other side were green grass as well, but there were outstanding blue roses put into three each. While Patsy on the other hand was still paused, the peach slipped out of her hand and fell. Then she slowly put a big smile on her face.
"Oh Lazlo…" she startled, with a soft tone, "It's… It's… SO romantic." Patsy felt as if she wanted Lazlo to carry her in his arms, walking her into this paradise that he found. Other less, this being here with Lazlo and making her dreams come true, she felt as if she was blessed and rejoiced. "I knew you would like it," said Lazlo. "Like it? I love it! I even like the smell of this place," Patsy said, sniffling, which the place smells like blue berries; probably because of the blue flowers.
Meanwhile in Haliotis Island…
The bean scouts were just waking up from a good sleep, after what they did yesterday to the squirrel scouts, which it is definitely something that they would never forget. They were using large cottons, which they picked off of several bushes, as pillows and used extra large leafs as covers to sleep with. Samson on the other hand, was just stretching, when all of the sudden…
BUMP!
"Hey!" Samson rubs his head and turns his body around and looks down. He was now staring at a coconut, which it was the one that hit him. Then he slowly looks up and he was seeing what he could not believe, where it caused his eyes to open real wide and his glasses to slip onto the edge of his snout. There they were, the squirrel scouts were on a tree, holding up coconuts. This gave the bean scouts attention after what happen to Samson and they stared in shock at the squirrel scouts.
"THROW!"
"RUUUUN!" yelled by Samson, taking off running, as the coconuts started raining to them from the squirrel scouts. The rest of the bean scouts started running. Raj and Clam on the other hand, had their hands up on their heads to protect themselves from getting hurt from one of the coconuts. Raj pants his words out, "I told you Clam; I told you that they would eventually get us back." "Bad wake up call," said Clam. Raj and Clam keeps running away from raining coconuts. Edward on the other hand, grabbed coconuts from the floor, that was already thrown to them, and throws it back at the squirrel scouts.
"Come on! You want some of this, huh!?" Edward shouted out, as he keeps throwing the coconuts at them. Then unexpectedly, a coconut was flying to him real fast, with flames on it, and then when it got closer…
BUMP! SPLAT!
This led the bean scouts to turn around and saw Edward down. The Lemming brothers ran to unconscious Edward, saying repeatedly, "Hub! Hub! Hub! Hub!" Then they grabbed and carried Edward, and started running, evading, and dodging every shot of coconuts thrown to them by the squirrel scouts. The bean scouts got away as far as possible. Meanwhile, the squirrel scouts stop throwing the coconuts.
"A great bulls-eye! Nice shot Gretchen," said Amber the rabbit, complimenting Gretchen. "Well obviously he wouldn't think that I was not going to get him back," said Gretchen, folding her arms in front of her chest. Meanwhile, the bean scouts stop running and the Lemming brothers sat Edward down. They notice a lump on the side of his head. Slinkman on the other hand just approached to the bean scouts and spotted Edward there hurt.
"Oh my Goodness, what happened?" asked worried Slinkman. "The squirrel scouts; that's what happened," Raj answered back.
"Uhhh…" Edward groaned, as he wakes up and rubs his sore head. "Wow Edward, you got knocked the Murp out!" Then everyone turns their attention to Samson, staring at him angrily, after his little comment. "Ehehehehe…" Samson laughed nervously, "Sorry for saying that…" Samson then pulls out a zipper and places it on the side of his mouth and zips his lips. Then Edward hisses, after he touches the knot he has on his head; then he notice the knot on the side of his head. "Oh… wait til' I get my hands on those girls."
"Wow Edward! Gretchen sure outnumbered you," said Ping-Pong. "Gretchen!?" asked furious Edward. "Now calm down, Edward," said Slinkman, trying to use his words to calm him down. But Edward was nowhere listening to the slug. "That's it! Looks like we're going to have to kick it up a notch, tonight," said Edward, waving his bald up fist. "Chip? Skip? I need to talk to you two," said Edward, getting Chip and Skip's attention. Then Edward got up and started huddling up with the twin dung beetles, which Edward somehow has another trick up his sleeve for the squirrel scouts. The bean scouts on the other hand, were wondering what Edward was planning and what would he want from the dung beetles to help him on.
Meanwhile, in Ivy Island…
Patsy was just lifting her head out of the water, running her fingers down on her wet pink hair. She sighed so dreamingly afterwards and says, "Isn't this such a wonderful land Lazlo… Lazlo?" She looks around and saw no Lazlo in sight. Then there was a voice yelling out of nowhere.
"CANNIBALL!"
There was Lazlo, wearing just his pants, swinging on some vines. After he was closer to the water along with Patsy in it, he lets go of the vines and was flying swinging himself forward, to do a front flip. Then he positioned himself with a dive, and landed in the water, making a big splashy wave.
"AAH!" Patsy yelled, as the water splashes onto her. Then when he lifts his head up out of the water, he saw Patsy with her face and hair completely wet. "Lazlo! You splashed me!" Patsy exclaimed playfully, and then she swings her arm on the water and makes a splashy wave, making it splash onto Lazlo. "Hey!" Lazlo exclaimed, as she splashes him. "Why you…" Then Lazlo splashes her. Then they started splashing each other over and over, until Patsy stopped. "Ok! Ok! I give up!" exclaimed Patsy.
Patsy made an innocent face and Lazlo looks back at her with a smile. "Gotcha!" Patsy yelled, as she splashes him again and began laughing at him. "Oh-hoho! Now your gonna- Ahhh!" Before Lazlo could complete his sentence, she clings on him, making them both fall inside of the water. A few seconds later, Lazlo was pulling himself up to get air, with Patsy still holding him.
"I got you again," said Patsy.
"Well not this time you won't," said Lazlo, smirking.
Patsy laughed at this. "Lazlo I wanted to tell you that I… I um…"
"What?" asked Lazlo, smiling at her.
"I-I bet you can't swim faster than me!" Patsy exclaimed, releasing her hug from Lazlo; and then takes off swimming away.
"Ohohohoho! We'll see about that!" Lazlo exclaimed, as he starts swimming after her as well. On the contrary, Patsy didn't really wanted to say that, she had something else in mind to tell him.
Later…
Patsy and Lazlo were swinging on vines, yelling like a excited Tarzan. Patsy on the other hand, was just landing on a branch.
SNAP!
The branch completely breaks, making her fall.
"AAAAH!!" yelled Patsy, still falling. But before she even hit the ground, Lazlo, which he's still swinging in vines, caught her. "Gotcha!" Lazlo exclaimed at the same time he grabbed her, saving her from getting hurt. As soon as he swung to a safe branch, which it won't break, Patsy looked down at the ground. She was looking at it, knowing she was going to be a goner then, from being up about 30 feet high. Then she smiled big and immediately hugs Lazlo.
"Oh thanks Lazlo, you saved me!" Patsy exclaimed with tears running down her cheeks in rejoice, because Lazlo just saved her life. "Your… welcome… Patsy," Lazlo says, barely able to get the words out because of Patsy hugging him real tight. Lazlo was happy enough himself, from saving her like this; but not as happy and proud as Patsy is right now.
Later…
Lazlo just got done tying some small vines in a knot. What Lazlo and Patsy just got done making, was a huge square shape trampoline, made with big strong leafs. Lazlo really got the idea from Clam, because he once tried to make one; but Lumpus destroyed it one night when the bean scouts were sleep. Meanwhile, Patsy was on a tree branch and jumped off of it, getting ready to land on the bouncy trampoline.
"WEEEE!!" Patsy yelled, as she falls onto the trampoline; then bounces real high. Lazlo on the other hand, just climbed up and starts bouncing on it as well. They both were having a good time jumping on the trampoline; performing flips and everything. Then they bumped each other's head while they were jumping and they both fell down. They lied there on the trampoline, rubbing their heads and shaking off stars flying around their heads.
"Sorry about that Patsy; I wasn't paying attention," said Lazlo, still rubbing his head.
"It's not your fault, we both weren't paying attention," said Patsy, still rubbing her head as well. Then they started jumping again; and this time Patsy bumps into him on purpose, causing both of them to fall. Then there was Lazlo, after landing on the trampoline, lying there while Patsy was on top.
"Pinned ya!" Patsy giggles afterwards. Lazlo didn't say anything but just nudged her off of him. Then they started bouncing on the trampoline and once again she pounces on him unexpectedly. "Pinned you again!" Patsy exclaimed playfully, and giggles again. Lazlo stares at her with a puzzling look on his face, having the feeling that she's maybe going to do it again; so he needs to watch her move. He smiles at her and lets her off of him again. Then once again while they were bouncing, Lazlo was just looking back a second she was coming toward her; ready to pounce on him again. But he jumped high with a black flip, while she misses him this time.
"Where did you- GAH!" Before Patsy could complete her sentence, Lazlo pounced on her after doing a high jump back flip. Then he playfully laughs at her. "Now I pinned you," said Lazlo, gently poking his index finger onto her nostril. She chuckled at the same time he poked her nose, "Ok, you got me on that." They both smiled at each other.
"Uh Lazlo?" asked Patsy. "Yes Patsy?" Lazlo answered back. "I… I…" Patsy sighs, "I can't bounce if you just going to stand there." Yet again, Patsy didn't want to say that, she still wouldn't tell what's on her mind.
"Oh" Lazlo giggles, "Sorry." Lazlo gets off of her.
Through the entire day, they were enjoying themselves.
Later that night…
Patsy and Lazlo were sitting at a tree branch, staring at the glorious stars.
"Lazlo, this was the best day I ever had… especially with you," said Patsy.
"Yeah… it wasn't so bad having fun with you; I didn't even notice that until now," said Lazlo.
Patsy smiles and says,"Yeah… looking at these stars gives me the feeling that we will be able to see our friends again."
"Really?" Lazlo asked.
"Yeah… believe me; we will see our friends again," said Patsy. Lazlo smiles at her, showing dignity within him; even though he misses his friends, she misses her friends as much as him.
"Lazlo?" Patsy said.
"Yes Patsy?" Lazlo answered back.
"…Never mind," said Patsy, as maybe feeling a bit shy at the moment. But this was her opportunity to tell him what she been wanting to tell him a long time. On the other hand, she started growling to herself. "Gah! I can't take this no more!" exclaimed Patsy. "Can't take what?" asked Lazlo, staring at her confusingly. "Lazlo...there was something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time," said Patsy, staring into his eyes. "What?" Lazlo asked, still feeling a bit confused at the moment.
"Remember when I was trying to give you the Valentines Day card?" asked Patsy.
"Yes." Lazlo answered back.
"Well what it said on the card, it's really true; I really do like you Lazlo," said Patsy. Lazlo was now puzzled on what she just said. "Patsy, everybody says that; I mean if you want to be my best friend it's nothing wrong with that," said Lazlo. But Patsy shook her head. "No Lazlo you don't understand," said Patsy, not wanting to lose this chance, "Think of as how much your mom loves you Lazlo."
Then Lazlo sits up straight, starting to understand on what Patsy's getting here.
"It's like how much your mom feels about you; But I have feelings about you more."
"You mean… you…"
"Yes Lazlo… I love you," Patsy stars into his eyes, just couldn't bare to stop looking at him. Lazlo on the other hand, stared at this beautiful pink-headed mongoose. "I always had a huge crush on you Lazlo," said Patsy, blushing deep, as she rubs her arm and stares at her own feet. But he reminds himself on what consequences he can face like before.
"But Patsy… I can't… i-it's just that your father, Commander Hoo Ha, will-"
"I don't care about what my father thinks and how he feels; he shouldn't take everybody else's heart and throw them in the water to feed the piranhas. And besides we're like millions of miles away from him and it's only us," Patsy explained. "I understand Patsy, but I have to respect your father… I'm sorry Patsy." Lazlo bows his head down after saying. Patsy on the other hand, let tears run down her cheeks, along with her lips wiggling and quivering. Then she moved her knees up and placed her head on her knees. Then after that, she started to whimper, lightly.
Lazlo moves his head up and saw the pink-headed mongoose crying. Patsy felt that this was the chance and it blows up her world because Lazlo don't like her as much as she likes him. He began to feel real sorry for her seeing her crying, with a sad look on his face. Then there was those questions coming back to him again, the questions that she asked him before, last night.
'Have you kissed a girl before? Have you ever fallen in love with a girl? Have you ever dreamed about girls?'
Then he started covering his ears, shaking his head to get those questions out of his head. Then a second later he shrieked like a flash from a camera. Then it seems as if he was having this new feeling. Was it care? Was it friendship…? Was it… love?
Meanwhile, Patsy was still crying; then, unexpectedly, she felt a warm hand place onto her shoulder. She then looked and moved her head to face the hand; then she looked up and saw Lazlo smiling at her. "Patsy… there is something that I wanted to tell you though," Lazlo startled. Patsy on the other hand, was wiping tears out of her eyes, using one of her fingers. "Tell me what?" asked Patsy, sounding a bit weak because she was crying.
"There was this dream I had last night," said Lazlo. Patsy was puzzled as she continued drying her watery eyes out. "Dream?" asked Patsy, still sounding a little weak; but her voice was beginning to clear up. "Yeah I was dreaming about somebody… somebody special," Lazlo explained.
"Somebody special?" asked Patsy.
"Yeah," Lazlo answered back.
"Special eh? Who?" asked Patsy, voice sounding clear.
"It was like the best dream I ever had, I guess uh… because…"
"Yeah?"
"I… was dreaming about… you."
Patsy gasped in surprise for what he just said to her. And she could not believe it, the guy who on the contrary just told her that he just couldn't like her, for whom she always loved, dreamed about her.
"You… were dreaming about me?" asked Patsy, starting to turn her frown face into a happy face. "Yes Patsy… as funny as it sounds… I have been thinking about what you said to me before and to tell you the truth…" Lazlo paused on his sentence, to think it through; thinking that, if he should tell her for his own risk against her father, Commander Hoo Ha, or not tell her and just let her go. But on the other hand, he had to agree on what she said about her father and should just leave her alone and let her own heart follow and not guide it for her.
"Patsy… I think… I love you too."
Lazlo finally said those words, where she felt as if she was about to collapse. She stared at him at shock like as if he was giving her a ring and asking her to marry him. She was beginning to feel the heat temperature rising on her head, making a little light headed because of that.
"Oh Lazlo… you do not know how much this means to me." Patsy started to have tears forming in her eyes of joy and not something to get her feelings hurt. She immediately hugged him real tight and did not want to let go. "You really do love me!!" Patsy exclaimed, lightly sobbing. Lazlo on the other hand, was happy enough to make her feel better and make her world turn into an overly happy paradise. He hugs her back, even though he's squeezed by her hug.
"I guess that feeling really got me to take the risk about your father, Patsy," said Lazlo, as they were still hugging each other. Patsy then let's go of the hug, feeling rejoice. "Your heart is what's showing more bravery than anything else," said Patsy, smiling at him and staring at him so dreamily. They both couldn't believe it though, on what has come, just that quick. Lazlo most definitely couldn't believe it himself. Usually he would have Raj and Clam to back him up from any of this; and so would Nina and Gretchen would back Patsy up, from this moment to even go this far between these two. But since Lazlo doesn't have a Clam or a Raj to be with him right now, he somehow has this new feeling now, that easily came to him about the mongoose.
"Lazlo… you made my day… the best thing ever in my life," said Patsy staring at him dreamily. "Well… at least you're happy about it… I just wish if this was compared with your friends," said Lazlo. "Yeah… it's always a torturing thing against your bean scout friends… they might be torturing them some more right now," said Patsy as she cuddles with Lazlo, staring at the stars. On the contrary, Patsy would maybe want to think again on what's going on and what's going to happen to the squirrel scouts, after what they did this morning.
