DGG: I have returned. I'm getting lazy w/ everything lately...WHAT IS WRONG W/ ME? I feel like I need to pull a Dobby and go iron my hands as punishment or something...only not really. Metaphorically? Sure. Let's go w/ that. But yes, I'm here. And my main concern w/ this chapter is Blonda's personality. I'm hoping I got her the way I want her to be portrayed...I either nailed it or I just fell short, but I don't know. Darn that fairy!
Blonda sat alone in her dressing room staring glumly into her mirror. Currently the actress was dressed in her white nurse's uniform for her role as Nurse Blonda on the hit, Fairy World soap opera All My Biceps. She sighed, knowing she should be going over some of her lines before going out on set, but she just didn't care. She didn't care! Acting was her life! It was her passion! It was the only thing she had ever truly cared about, so why didn't she care about it now? Nothing had ever clouded her mind like this before. If something had bothered her, she usually used that to fuel the passion behind her acting, but this time it was different. This time she was too depressed to care about her acting at all. And this wasn't the first time this week she had felt this way; her acting had been suffering a lot lately due to her apathy. So much so that she knew it definitely killed her chances at even getting nominated for a Zappy this year, but even that wasn't bothering her – well, it wasn't bothering her much. However, what was bothering her was the knowledge that Juandissimo had finally obtained her sister's heart. Blonda furrowed her eyebrows at that thought. If she had just listened to that Forbidden Love Arrow a few days ago, then none of this would be happening right now!
When Juandissimo handed it to her, it had, in fact, showed her what she wanted as well as how to obtain it, but the surge of power it had given her frightened her. It felt too dark to be love. And she was quite certain that she knew what love felt like, and that was not it. In fact, if she wanted to describe the feeling those black arrows had given her, she would have said it was similar to the feeling a horror movie gave to its viewers. It was spine-tingling, it was cold, it was…evil? Maybe not evil, but definitely not good.
However, as more time passed, she was starting to wonder if maybe she should have just listened to the Arrows. He had been right in front of her, after all. All she had to do was pick up the Arrow and throw it at him. It was as simple as that. Fear had paralyzed her at the time – fear and a sense of apprehension. Those Arrows, however dark and powerful they might be, certainly made this situation very serious, and if the legends about them were true, then Wanda would love Juandissimo forever. So where did that leave her? And what did her sister have that she did not? Blonda certainly had more in life than Wanda did and probably ever would! So why was he so attracted to her? These Arrows changed the entire situation. This time if Juandissimo succeeded, he would be gone forever. Then what would she do?
She sighed again, placing her head in her hands as a sexy figure suddenly poofed into her room. Seeing his reflection in the mirror instantly caused her to brighten. Her previous thoughts were forgotten at the sight of him – an effect he always seemed to have on her – and without much delay, the actress turned around in her swiveling stool to face him.
"Juandissimo!" she smiled. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, Wanda is at her first counseling session with Cosmo this morning, so I figured that now would be a good time to update you on the situation," the male sat down on the white couch in the room.
"Oh," Blonda's smile faltered, the current situation coming back to her now. "S-sure."
"It is wonderful, Blonda!" he smiled blissfully. "Cosmo is falling apart without her around! Wanda is completely devoted to me. It is amazing."
"That's…great," she forced a smile.
"Indeed it is."
"So why are Wanda and Cosmo in counseling?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Ah. Yes. She filed for divorce yesterday, and by this time next week she will be free of that idiot forever. But in the following week, they must go through counseling together. And that, Blonda is what worries me."
The knot in her stomach loosened slightly at the mention of his last sentence.
"Why?" she asked hungrily, desperately wanting to hear the answer.
"It is strange," Juandissimo furrowed his eyebrows. "She still seems to care about him, Blonda."
"She still cares about him?" the actress frowned in confusion, though on the inside she felt slightly more relieved. "But I thought Forbidden Love Arrows ensured someone's absolute devotion to you. How could she still care about him?"
"I do not know, but every time she…" Juandissimo stopped, letting Blonda's words sink in. "Wait…what?"
"A Forbidden Love Arrow," Blonda enunciated each syllable. "Those were the arrows you found."
"What? Pero that is impossible! Those arrows are only legend!"
"No, they're not. They're real, Juandissimo. I heard it from Cupid, himself. The arrows you stole are ones of legend."
The male was utterly stunned. Forbidden Love Arrows were actually real? All the stories they had heard while growing up about the most powerful love arrows in the universe were true? This fact caused a wide smile to grow on the handsome male's face.
"They're…so that's why Cupid is so determined to get the last Arrow back! He is desperate to have the most powerful love arrow back in his arsenal!" he cried; however, his smile dissipated at his next thought. "But then, you are right. If the legends about those Arrows are true then they should only make her care and think about me. She shouldn't be thinking about Cosmo at all, let alone be feeling bad for him! I mean, even the Arrows, themselves told me that she should only have feelings for me!"
"Well, I don't know what to tell you, Juandissimo," the actress shrugged, then grimaced at her next question, dreading the answer. "So…when's the wedding?"
Juandissimo blinked, smiling again at the question.
"I do not know yet. But I plan on finding out soon, Blonda," he pulled a tiny box out of his pocket for the female to see.
"Oh," she looked down at the floor.
"But you are serious?" he continued in awe. "The arrows I found were really the Forbidden Love Arrows?"
Suddenly the blonde fairy felt a rage boiling up inside her. She was clearly distraught, and the only things on his mind were those stupid Arrows? He should be asking her what was wrong. Sure her foolish pride would never allow her to actually tell him how she was feeling, but he should still be inquiring! She lifted her head only to find Juandissimo staring proudly at the black-velvet ring box in his hand. She couldn't take it anymore. She was done with this entire plan, and she was certainly tired of hearing the man she secretly pined for express his love for another.
"Yes!" she shouted in aggravation. "It's not that big of a deal, Juandissimo, so let's stop talking about it!"
Juandissimo frowned, staring at her quizzically as he put the ring back in his pocket.
"It is a very big deal, Blonda! I thought that the tale of the Forbidden Love Arrows was nothing more than a bedtime story…"
"Yeah, just like the rest of the universe!" Blonda interrupted.
"But now that I know that I actually found them," he continued, returning to his awestruck state, "I just cannot believe it. Wanda really will be mine forever! Those Arrows truly do ensure her complete and utter devotion to me. She will never want to leave me! This is amazing, Blonda! I have in my possession the most powerful love arrow known to man!"
"No! That's enough!" Blonda screeched, causing Juandissimo to jump.
"What?" he blinked.
"I have heard enough about your stupid Arrows and my stupid sister. I really don't care!" the actress moved her arms in emphasis.
"Blonda, you helped me with this plan!" Juandissimo reminded her. "You're a reason why your sister is mine right now!"
"Yeah, and I'm really starting to regret it!" she turned away, folding her arms across her chest.
"What is that supposed to me?" the male snapped back.
"It means you dragged me into this!" she looked back.
"What?" he spat in offense.
"And now I've been banned from Cupid's parties!" the actress cried dramatically. "His parties are huge, Juandissimo, and now I can't be a part of them! This is torture for me!"
"Blonda, I did not drag you into this! You wanted to help me with this plan, remember? You offered to help!" the buff male pointed out. "But…why would you be banned from Cupid's?"
"Because I seduced him so you could take his arrows!"
"Well…how did he find out?"
"He figured it out!" the actress spat venomously. "All I'm saying is that you need to think about what you're doing!"
Juandissimo's eyes widened in shock.
"You want me to re-think my decision? Blonda, are you loca? Has Cupid gotten to you too?"
"No!"
"Are you saying that you actually want Cosmo to be your brother-in-law?"
"Well…no. But I never see him. I don't associate with my sister, so I don't see why I should care!"
"Why are you suddenly against this plan? Is it just because I have put a dent in your social life?" Juandissimo asked incredulously.
Blonda hesitated, "…Yes! Now get out!"
"Fine," the male fairy hopped off the couch and hovered in the air. "But I hope you realize that I'm not giving Wanda up! She and Cosmo will get divorced, and when that happens we will get married!"
"Fine! But don't expect me to go to your wedding!"
"You will not be invited."
"I hope those Forbidden Love Arrows are defective. And by the way you say Wanda is acting, it sure seems like they are," the blonde hissed.
"They are not defective! She is still devoted to me despite her still feeling compassion for the green twit. All that matters is that at the end of the day, she wants to lie with me," the buff male smirked.
"Get out, Juandissimo! I never want you back here again!" Blonda pointed toward the door.
"Are you serious?" Juandissimo gawked, his anger subsiding slightly. "You are angry at me for getting you kicked off of Cupid's party list?"
"Why do you care, Juandissimo? You don't seem to care about me!" Blonda seethed while folding her arms across her chest once more. "You just want Wanda. Wanda, Wanda, Wanda! That's all you come here to talk about! I'm tired of it!"
"You are my oldest friend, Blonda! I care about you!" the male argued.
"No. You care about Wanda. Now you have her, so there's no need to come here and bother me anymore. So get out and never come back!"
"Fine. I will go. And so long as I have the last Forbidden Love Arrow in my possession, there is nothing anyone can do to reverse the spell. Wanda will be mine forever, Blonda."
The blonde glared at the male across the room until he held up his wand and poofed himself out of the dressing room. Her expression stayed cold for a moment as she continued to stare at the dent in the couch where he had so recently been sitting until her face finally contorted to one of sadness. Tears suddenly ran down her cheeks as she placed her head in her hands. What had she done?
Juandissimo was thoroughly upset when he returned home. He couldn't believe it! How could Blonda be doubting their plan? Had Cupid gotten to her? Was he amassing a small army of people to talk him out of this? And how could she just up and kick him out of her life just because she was no longer invited to a swanky party anymore? It's not like she wasn't invited to parties all the time! She would get over it! He sat down on the couch and huffed in irritation. What was the matter with Blonda? She was all for him getting the arrows and making Wanda his, but now she seemed upset that he had succeeded, that they had succeeded. He was so confused. Why was his long-time friend acting so strangely?
However, he wasn't able to dwell on the question for long because not long after he arrived back home, Wanda soon appeared looking very stressed out.
"Wanda!" he cried in both happiness and alarm. "What happened? Are you all right?"
"Yeah," she floated over and sat down beside him on the couch, leaning her head against his right shoulder. "It's just that I was completely right about how that session would go. Cosmo still couldn't understand why I was leaving him. I don't get how he could be so blind to how he was treating me, Juandissimo. I even started crying at the thought of those old memories. And Cosmo's still extremely upset…"
Juandissimo smirked to himself, while leaning his head against Wanda's.
"What can I say, mi amor? He just isn't bright enough to realize the situation."
"I guess. But the whole ordeal just stressed me out. I can't believe we have to go through the same thing for the rest of the week. We're not going to make any progress. The same thing that happened today is just going to keep repeating itself. I wish the counselor could see that."
"Sounds like you need to get your mind off things," Juandissimo smiled while lifting his head.
"I just want to forget about today," Wanda groaned while nuzzling his shoulder.
"I have an idea, mi amor. Why don't you and I go out and do something special tonight? I can take you out to dinner."
Wanda looked up at her boyfriend and smiled.
"That sounds lovely," she kissed him.
That night could not come soon enough for the couple. Juandissimo had taken Wanda out shopping that day to buy a new outfit for their date. She had finally bought a shimmering yellow, sleeveless dress. It was a bit shorter than what she was used to wearing – it stopped just above her knee – but Juandissimo seemed to think it looked great on her, so she decided to get it. He treated her to an afternoon at the spa to help relieve some of the stress from being with Cosmo earlier, and after that the couple returned home where they readied themselves for the evening.
Wanda, of course, wore her new dress along with a new pair of pearl earrings that Juandissimo had also bought her. Juandissimo gussied himself up as well. He wore a nice, white dress shirt that, like all his shirts, showed off his rippling muscles. He wore a purple cummerbund around his waist as well as a black bowtie around his neck. He smiled as he admired his reflection in the mirror. He had made reservations to take Wanda to The Pointy Crown to eat, and when six o' clock rolled around, he poofed the two of them there.
The couple had a wonderful time. They spent the evening talking with one another about the future, and Juandissimo was extremely pleased to notice that Wanda didn't mention Cosmo once. She spoke only of her love for him, and how they would soon be happy together. After dinner was over, the two sat gazing into one another's eyes from across the table. Tonight was perfect. Well, almost perfect.
Juandissimo smiled coyly. "You look muy bonita tonight."
"Thank-you," Wanda blushed.
"Your beauty is ravishing me. So much, in fact, that I feel the overwhelming need to ask you this question."
Wanda blinked at the man across from her in surprise as he pulled out a tiny box from his pocket and opened it.
"Wanda, will you marry me?"
"I…I…Juandissimo, I don't…I don't know what to say," she stuttered.
"Say 'yes,'" he urged, smiling warmly as he held the ring out closer to her.
"But, Juandissimo, I'm not even divorced yet."
"Ah, but you will be soon."
"Juandissimo, I…"
"Wanda, por favor. You love me, sí?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then you should accept my wedding proposal."
She stared at the ring for awhile before looking back into her boyfriend's violet eyes.
"But isn't this moving a little fast?"
"You can't stop love, mi amor."
"I still don't know," Wanda cast her eyes down at the white tablecloth.
"Wanda," he chuckled warmly, "we will only be engaged, and once you sign the divorce papers in a week we will be able to move on and plan our wedding! Besides I think you deserve something better than a pen cap."
Wanda moved her eyes to look at the chewed pen cap that she still wore on her left ring finger, then back up at Juandissimo.
"So? What do you say?"
Wanda remained silent, thinking about her decision carefully before a large smile crept onto her face.
"Of course I'll marry you, Juandissimo."
"Wonderful!" exclaimed the male as he plucked the ring out of the box.
He then took her current wedding "ring" off, snapped it in two, and tossed it on the ground – Wanda flinched slightly at the action but said nothing. Once the offending ring was gone, Juandissimo then placed his engagement ring onto Wanda's finger.
"Oh, Juandissimo, it's beautiful," she smiled while admiring it.
"I had that ring custom made just for you back in high school."
"What?" she blinked.
"When I proposed to you way back in high school that was the ring I was going to give to you."
"You kept it all this time?" she gawked at him.
"Yes," the male smiled. "A silver band with a giant pink diamond on it just for you. I feel you deserve a ring as beautiful as you."
"I can't believe you kept it."
"I knew you would once again be mine one day," he took her left hand and kissed it.
"Oh, Juandissimo," Wanda batted her eyes.
Once Juandissimo lips departed from the skin, Wanda pulled her hand back. The male smiled once more as the two leaned over the table and kissed one another.
"What do you say we continue our evening at home?" asked Juandissimo suavely once the kiss was broken.
"I'd love to," Wanda smiled.
"You go ahead. I'll pay for dinner."
Wanda nodded and left as Juandissimo went up front and paid. He was just about to poof himself back to his home when he was suddenly transported elsewhere. He looked around in confusion, but soon recognized the large foyer he was floating in.
"What do you want now, Cupid?" he huffed.
"I sensed that Wanda wanted to make love, and thus I summoned you here," the god answered haughtily.
"Are you still trying to make sure that I do not touch her?"
"That's exactly what I'm trying to do."
"You cannot stop the love Wanda and I share!"
"But that's just it, Juandissimo, you don't share any!" Cupid shook his head.
"Of course we do," Juandissimo spoke in offense. "I love her, and thanks to your Forbidden Love Arrow, she loves me back."
All the air left the god's lungs.
"You…you know it's a…"
"Yes. Blonda told me. I had no idea they actually existed," Juandissimo smirked. "But thanks to that Arrow, she loves me!"
"No," Cupid shook his head while regaining his composure. "No, that's not true at all. You may care about Wanda, but you don't love her. And the magic of a Forbidden Love Arrow does not make her love you either."
"What are you talking about?" the raven-haired male snorted.
"What have the legends said about those Arrows?" Cupid spoke more sternly.
"That they ensure to you the eternal devotion of whoever you want."
"It may seem that way, but it isn't true. Forbidden Love Arrows are not true love. They're more like lust. But they completely mask their target's true feelings. Deep down she still loves Cosmo."
"How is that even possible?"
"It was just the way they were designed. Now please, Juandissimo, give me back my last Arrow."
"I don't think so. Wanda is finally mine. I'm not going to give her up."
"Wanda isn't supposed to be yours! You have absolutely no idea what you've just done!"
"So why don't you enlighten me?"
"For one, Cosmo is a wreck."
"Why should I care about Cosmo?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Do you really have no compassion for others?" Cupid furrowed his eyebrows.
"The only kind of passion I have is for my Wanda! And I must get back to her and give her an entire night filled with passion!" Juandissimo turned to leave.
"See? That's all you care about! The only thing on your mind is having sex!"
The larger male stopped, turning back to face Cupid.
"How could you say that?"
"Because it's true! The girlfriends you had before Wanda – and many girls after her –gave themselves up to you, but Wanda refused to do so."
"And I respected that!"
"You don't seem to respect it now," the god pointed out.
"She wants to this time around."
"No, she doesn't. Not really anyway. Again, she only thinks she wants to. If she wasn't under that spell, she wouldn't even consider it."
"That doesn't matter. All that matters is that Wanda is waiting for me back at home."
"Wait, Juandissimo. You don't know what you've done. There's a reason I made those arrows forbidden."
"You mean that you actually used to use Forbidden Love Arrows?" Juandissimo blinked.
"They used to be the only love arrow! They've been around since before I was born. I watched as my mother threw Arrows at humans, but she would do so carelessly. She would break up perfectly happy relationships and not think anything about it. In fact, she would sometimes break up couples just for fun! She was amused at the pain the Arrows caused. I watched the devastating effects of those Arrows day in and day out, and I came to eventually realize that they weren't true love. And I also came to learn that if some wished to use them maliciously, like you did, the Arrows seem to adhere to that. They will use their powers to allow the thrower the ultimate satisfaction by somehow telling them when the perfect time to strike is in order to cause as much damage as possible. So I had new arrows created – the ones that I use now. Unfortunately, when I tried to fix things with them, I found that my new love arrows couldn't penetrate the magic of a Forbidden Love Arrow, hence why I haven't been able to fix the problem you caused. I need that other Arrow back!"
While thinking about Wanda, Cosmo happened to remember his quarrel with Cupid from earlier that day. The fairy was still angry at the god. How dare he take Wanda away from him! Then again, he was fairly certain that the last thing he heard Cupid say was that he was trying to fix this. Why would he do that if he split them up? Did he realize that he had made a mistake? Currently, the dimwitted fairy was floating through Fairy World, making his way to Cupid's home in order to find out. He turned through the front gates and went up to the front door. He was about to knock; however, he stopped when he heard voices inside. He realized that the voices were in a heated argument, so he pressed his ear to the door. He couldn't make out much of the words, but he was pretty sure that he heard Wanda's name mentioned, and that was all the prompting he needed. Besides, maybe she was inside! With a gulp, Cosmo cautiously reached out and turned the handle of the door.
"The consequences are not horrible!" cried the Latino.
"What do you mean they're not horrible? Of course they are! This is going to end badly for Cosmo and Wanda!" yelled Cupid.
"Preposterous! Nothing bad will happen to my Wanda so long as she is with me," Juandissimo motioned to himself.
"Juandissimo, you don't really love her. Sooner or later you'll do something to show off that fact, and if Wanda finds out…"
"Wanda won't find out because I do love her! And she loves me!"
"She falsely believes that she loves you! She wouldn't even be with you if you hadn't shot her with that Arrow!"
"What?" a tiny voice squeaked from the doorway.
The two feuding males turned their attention to the threshold where they found Cosmo with his mouth agape, breathing shakily.
The god winced, not truly wanting Cosmo to find out the truth this way. The diapered male sighed as he took a deep breath.
"That's what I tried to tell you before," spoke Cupid more softly. "I didn't make Wanda fall in love with her ex-boyfriend. Juandissimo stole her from you."
"Y-you shot Wanda with an arrow?" Cosmo looked timidly to at his rival.
Juandissimo said nothing; however, he did glare at the weaker fairy.
"Then…that explains why Wanda doesn't love me," Cosmo turned back to Cupid with a growing smile on his face. "That means that you can just shoot her again, so she'll come back to me!"
"That's what I've been trying to do, but it's not that simple. He didn't use a regular magic love arrow. He found and stole the last of my Forbidden Love Arrows, and he used one of them to steal Wanda's heart from you."
Cosmo's smile disappeared and was once again replaced with a look of confusion.
"But…what?" asked Cosmo.
"I need the last Forbidden Love Arrow in order to fix this problem; however, Juandissimo has it, and he refuses to give it back."
"Oh, you mean this Arrow?" Juandissimo poofed in the sleek, black arrow, and held it in his hand.
Cupid hastily reached out to grab it; however, the muscular male was able to shove the love god away. The diapered male seethed.
"This is the only way you can make Wanda fall back in love with Cosmo?"
"Yes, Juandissimo. That's what I've been telling you all along!"
"There is absolutely nothing else that you can do?" he raised an eyebrow.
"No. The only thing I can do is to shoot that Arrow at Wanda."
"Well, in that case," Juandissimo grabbed the Arrow with his other hand, bent it, and snapped it in half, "you may have it back."
Cupid's eyes bulged as he stared with consternation at the newly broken Arrow. He felt like he could barely breathe. Juandissimo only smirked as he let the two halves of the Arrow drop to the floor; both halves disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
"There. Now nothing can stop the love that Wanda and I share," he spoke cockily.
Cosmo's eyes welled up with tears again. He bowed his head as they slowly began to fall from his eyes.
"Now if you don't mind," spoke Juandissimo pompously. "I need to get back to Wanda. She is waiting for me."
Cupid was suddenly overtaken with rage. Juandissimo had destroyed his only means of bringing Cosmo and Wanda back together. Now nothing seemed to matter. He couldn't fix the situation, and it was all Juandissimo's fault. The pink-haired male lifted his head and glared venomously at his former friend.
"Fine," Cupid spoke darkly. "Go. Ravage her. Do with her what you wish."
Cosmo looked up at the male's statement, wiping his tears on his sleeve.
"What?" he sniffed.
Juandissimo turned toward his rival cockily with a smug smirk playing on his lips.
"You don't know?"
Cosmo stared at him.
"Juandissimo, don't," spoke Cupid.
"I am going home where Wanda is waiting for me," the larger male continued.
"Juandissimo," Cupid warned.
"And I am going to make sweet, sweet love to her."
Cosmo gasped, gaping at the male in disbelief.
"No!" bellowed Cosmo angrily.
Juandissimo turned his head to look smugly over at the love god, who only deepened his glare. For a moment, Cupid averted his gaze toward Cosmo then turned back to Juandissimo with a smirk. Confused, the Latino turned his head just in time for Cosmo's fist to collide with the left side of his face. Juandissimo fell to the ground, clutching his face, and Cosmo hovered over him, panting.
"Don't touch her!" he yelled.
Juandissimo turned around in a daze before peering back up up at Cupid.
"I told you not to taunt him," Cupid shrugged.
The violet-eyed male winced as he cradled his slowly swelling cheek. It had actually hurt. Who knew Cosmo actually had it in him? However, his shock was quickly turning to anger.
"Look what you have done to my muy bonito face!" Juandissimo roared, causing Cosmo to jump backward a little. "You have ruined my utter perfection!"
Cupid rolled his eyes, shaking his head slightly.
"You…you said you were going to make love to Wanda. Only I'm allowed to do that!" spoke Cosmo defensively. "So stay away from her."
"I cannot stay away from her. If a beautiful fairy wants me, then I must oblige her," he winced at the pain in his cheek. "If it is a fight you want, then it is a fight you will get."
Cosmo flinched as the larger fairy pounced on him. Cupid gasped as Juandissimo punched the green-haired fairy in the face over and over. Cosmo whimpered and cried out in pain as he tried to push the stronger male off him, but it was no use. Cosmo just wasn't strong enough to fend off his attacker.
"Juandissimo, stop!" cried Cupid.
The love god grabbed Juandissimo by the shoulder in an attempt to pull him off Cosmo. Unfortunately, the Latino elbowed the god in the ribs, causing him to reel back. Cupid hovered, doubled over, holding his newly injured ribs.
Juandissimo refused to stop his onslaught. Though the Hispanic fairy was normally mild mannered, the weaker fairy had attacked him. Juandissimo's swollen cheek was throbbing, and nobody messed with his outer beauty. So clearly, Cosmo deserved this beating. However, that wasn't the only reason Cosmo deserved this. He had taken Wanda away from him those many years ago. Everything had been fine in their relationship until Cosmo came along. To Juandissimo, this beating was long overdue.
Finally, Juandissimo stood up, and Cosmo relaxed a little; however, his relief was short-lived. Before Cosmo knew it Juandissimo's foot kept coming into contact with his stomach over and over again. Cosmo cried out in pain.
"Juandissimo…Juandissimo, stop!" Cupid grunted through his pain.
The buff male gave his victim a few more swift kicks to the gut before finally stopping. Juandissimo stood back to see the damage he had done. Cosmo laid on the floor doubled over in pain. He was clutching his stomach, his eyes were clenched shut, tears streamed down his face, and blood was still pouring from his nose.
"You only had one good punch in you," spoke Juandissimo. "You can't even fight for the woman you love. You're pathetic. Now if you don't mind I'm going to go home and make love to your wife."
"No," squeaked Cosmo. "No."
Without another word, Juandissimo held up his wand and disappeared.
