Chapter 14: The Umpire Males
"Papa? You know the boy... Danny?"
"Yes, he seems like a nice kid. Must have some good blood in him."
"Doubt it, Pops. You don't wanna catch the clumsiness that boy has." Jagger said as he teared a piece of raw steak with his teeth.
"For the love of all dead things, Jagger! I told you to not use your hands!"
"Um, Papa? I was wondering if it's... Okay if I went to the Midnight Ball with Danny?"
"What?" Both the male Umpires said then Jagger growled.
"Oh, he's on my menu for tonight!" He said but Alucard grabbed the back of Jagger's shirt and snarled at him.
"We do not go after people just because they ask Magenta out to a dance."
"But you said so yourself, papa, that Danny is a nice boy."
"Well, he is... But we need to meet him in order to get our approve." Alucard said then Jagger softly hissed.
"Very well..." Magenta said then she walked upstairs. She opened her window then sighed.
"Do did you tell them?" Danny asked, looking at the goth lolita.
"Yeah. I did."
"And...?"
"They wanna meet you."
"Oh I was afraid of that..." Danny said then Magenta nodded.
"Hey, why not sing your song?"
"A song? Very well."
She took a deep breath then sang beautifully. Danny was taking notes then when Magenta stopped, he looked up at her.
"Something wrong?"
"Shhhhhhh..." Magenta shushed him quietly then she went into her room. She opened her door then saw no one. She closed it, locked it, then went back to the window.
"Sorry. Had to make sure no one was listening. Or coming up to my room."
"Ah. So what did you get for problem number 20 in Algebra?"
"I'm not telling you the answers. You have an older sister, why not ask her?"
"Over my dead body..." Danny said, then Magenta giggled. She then folded a piece of paper into a paper plane then tossed over to Danny's side. He unfolded it then smiled as it was the answers to the problems.
"Hand it back to me tomorrow morning."
"You got it." Danny said then when he turned he smiled. He tilt his head back to look at Magenta's window.
"Night, Magenta."
