So to recap: Becky told Tobey that she doesn't know how to feel about them anymore. Let's start the chapter. ***************************************************************** "What!?" Yelled Tobey who had been half asleep until he heard his girlfriend's confession. "Where is this coming from?" Tobey asked her as he clutched at his chest, his heart beating wildly.
"I've been thinking about it a while and what kind of a relationship do we really have?" She said as she waved her arms around for emphasis. "We don't do normal couples things. Do you see me in your future even if we go to different colleges?"
Tobey thought about what she was saying. "Is this because of that Valentine's day I forgot to buy you flowers and chocolate? Are you mad at me for something I did? Becky, I won't know what is going on in your head unless you tell me." Tobey said with a sigh as he crossed his arms and gave her an annoyed expression.
"I know we're here for Jackie but lately it feels like you and I are drifting apart." Becky looked at him with so much sadness in her eyes.
"Then tell me." Tobey said as he unfolded his arms and clasped her hands in his. "Tell me how to fix it. I want to make this relationship work."
"It's not that simple Tobey." Said Becky as she failed to meet his gaze. "I think we need to break up." She began tearing up.
"No." Said Tobey with tears in his own eyes. "Please tell me you're joking." He tried not to cry but his eyes were already glazed over.
"I'm far from joking. We've hardly acknowledged our relationship this whole trip or even kissed. You don't write me love poems like you used to and You're not the same person you were when we started dating." Said Becky in between sniffles.
"Are you bored of me? Are you that sick of being with me that you want out? How do you think this makes me feel? I'm not the only one who has changed Becky dearest, you have too." He said temporarily dropping his accent because he was crying too. His hands reached up to take off his glasses and wipe away a few tears.
"What do you mean?" Becky asked his as she moved her hand to wipe her tears away.
"I haven't been writing as much because you don't appreciate my poems as much as you used to. And I only signed up for all this extracurricular activities because you were always too busy to spend time with me saving the day or trying to cover up your secret identity. Let's not forget how Bob doesn't like me. I can see him glaring at me when you're not looking. He locked your window so I couldn't leave the roses I got for you on Valentine's day. I was going to surprise you before school started but I guess he thought I had bad intentions. He looked me in the eye as he saw me approach and just locked the window and shut the blinds." He told her angrily.
"Wait, this was that Valentine's day you forgot?" Becky asked his feeling confused and like an idiot for almost breaking up with him.
"Maybe we could use a flashback since that always seems to move the plot along." Tobey suggested. I don't see why not. Take it away Tobey. "Gladly." At this point he was more mad at Becky than Bob. (flashback)
Unknown to Tobey Becky had gone to take a shower while He was planning on sneaking into her room to surprise her with a bouquet of roses. Becky was so excited to see her boyfriend at school that day that she took an extra long time to get ready. As she was doing her thing, Tobey was about to enter her room through the window when Bob appeared at the window. Bob thought that he was there to see Becky naked and he didn't want them doing 'it'. As he stared at Tobey he closed the window and shut the blinds in his face making the boy genius scowl. He sighed in frustration before taking him and his robot to school before Mrs. Botsford saw the robot on her way to work.
(End of flashback)
"You think I don't appreciate you?" Becky couldn't believe what she was hearing. This perturbed her. Becky pointed her finger at him, ready to make a comeback as she stood up from her seat.
"If you can't handle me at my worst then..." She surprised him by straddling his waist and embracing him. "You don't deserve this kind of treatment. I'm sorry." She spoke into his ear.
Not knowing what else to do he wrapped his arms around her too.
"I want to keep this relationship going strong but I don't know how to spice it up a little.." Becky told him truthfully, they were still wrapped in each other's embrace.
Once she was in his arms once again, Becky forgot why she wanted to break up to begin with. She supposed it was because they would hardly have any physical contact.
Tobey glared at the narrator and sighed in frustration.
"Seriously? This is why she wanted to break up with me?" He said, still holding her tight. "I don't even know why you keep writing it like this. It's getting to be a bit cliche." He inhaled her scent and found it quite heavenly.
Wait, you guys can still hear me?
"Of course! We just found it a bit odd that you haven't been as much a part of this story as you have the last one. Are you ok?" Tobey asked, concern in his tone.
It's just that, I feel like I could be writing this in a more professional manner and I'm making it sound like I'm a fourth grader that barely learned to start shipping people.
I've read other Word Girl fanfics written by people around my age and I noticed that they stick to the source material where I just...trail off.
"But that's what makes yours different." Becky chimed in. "You aren't afraid of taking risks and you write what you feel is best suited for the plot and I think that's satisfactory."
Thanks you two, I really needed that.
"Are you going to talk more about Jackie's mental state in this chapter?" Asked Tobey, looking concerned for his soon to be step-sister.
We will come back to her in the next chapter. I know that this fanfic is going to put all of the focus on her but for this chapter and the next one I wanted to put the focus on you two. Sorry to say this but the rest of this chapter might be a bit...naughty.
"Why us?" Asked Becky who looked perpelexed as she adjusted herself on her boyfriend's lap. "Why not literally any other couple in this story?"
While the main focus isn't your relationship I just wanted to write a couple of filler chapters to make up for the lack of not having written any chapters in almost 3 months again.
"You're lucky to have readers as patient and understanding as the ones you have now." Said Becky, smiling at all the fans reading this.
"Ditto." Said Tobey as he too, smiled at the audience reading this. "You wouldn't be anywhere or have a fanfic you would want to keep writing if it weren't for them. You owe them."
Looking out the window they noticed that it was now night time. Jackie was asleep now and to save some money, Sam pulled up to a trailer park for the night so they could all get some sleep.
Mostly everyone was asleep except for our favorite couple who were still sitting together. Becky was still straddling Tobey.
"Tobey?" She whispered to him once she knew that Bob wouldn't hear them.
"Yes?" He asked her as he held her steady so she wouldn't fall off of him.
"I've been thinking and...I want to do it..." She told him, blushing furiously.
"Do what?" He asked her, not quite catching on. One of his eyebrows raised in confusion. Then the meaning of what she was implying hit him and his entire face was red. "Aren't we rushing it a bit? I-I mean I...aren't we too young for this?"
"Please Tobey, i-it would mean a lot to me if we did this." Becky pleaded him.
Tobey sighed. At this point he was willing to try almost anything if it meant his girlfriend wouldn't get bored of him and leave him. Becky would never admit it but sometimes she missed having him as another villain and missed their banter as they would try to out wit each other with their words. Ever since he joined the good side he has been a bit...dull. No more taking out giant robuts. No more of him doing evil things to get her attention. She liked it when he payed that much attention to her, bit she would never say that out loud. Yes he still wrote poems, and drew drawings of them together but not as often as he would before he found her identity.
"Hey Becky, do you remember when we first met?" Tobey chuckled to himself. "I was such an obnoxious jerk to you."
"I also remember that. I remember you calling me beautiful then arguing with me. If I could go back in time to that moment and tell young me that we would be dating in the future she would probably laugh in my face and tell me that it was a funny joke."
"My younger self would probably think it was all just a dream." Tobey told her as he awaited the inevitable.
"Why is that?" Becky asked.
"Because it was a dream when you finally admitted that you loved me back." Tobey grinned at her, making her blush. "Reminiscing is fun."
"Oh Tobey." Said Becky, giggling before she placed her mouth over his in a kiss. Tobey gladly returned it. Becky poured so much passion into this kiss that Tobey got a bit well...excited.
"Tobey did you always have a screwdriver in your pocket?" Becky asked when she felt something poking her.
Tobey blushed and almost shoved her off. "That's not a screwdriver you're feeling." He told her as he blushed and looked away.
Becky blushed but she didn't exactly hate it...
"I think we need to get out of here." Said Becky who was already climbing off his lap to go and open a window so that they could escape.
Tobey knew exactly where she was headed with this. He wanted to up a stop to it but for the moment he wasn't thinking clearly.
Before both teenagers knew it they were lying in bed together in some motel room they rented for the night. They had just finished making love for the first time and they loved every minute of it.
The next morning...
As soon as Bob woke up he went to the back to check on Becky. When he saw that both she and Tobey were nowhere to be seen he thought that they might have just gone to get coffee or something.
Not long after Sam awoke, then Jackie. By this point everyone on board had taken notice that neither teenager was on board and it had been a few hours by this point.
Bob started screeching at Jackie to text them which she did. She got no reply. So, Bob being Bob snatched her phone and just called Becky.
At the motel...
Becky awoke to the sound of her phone ringing. She was going to answer it when she noticed that she was naked. Then it hit her, what she did last night with Tobey.
It's not that she regretted it, but she regretted them not using...protection...
Becky ignored how cold she felt when she left the warmth of being tangled up in Tobey to go answer her phone.
She managed to answer it before it stopped ringing.
"Hello?" She said groggily into the phone. She moved the phone away from her ear when all she heard was Bob screeching into the other end. "I'll tell you the truth when we come back." Becky told Bob, honestly because even if she tried lying to him he would get the truth out of her eventually.
Bob's screeching had woken up Tobey. His first memory was what he did with Becky the night before, his next thought was he wished he could have gazed at her beautiful face before she had woken up. Then he remembered just how protective of Becky Bob could be and he paled.
Becky remembered that she was naked so as soon as Tobey put his glasses back on she hurried to change back into her discarded clothing.
She changed rather quickly with her super speed.
"Tobey.." Becky began... "Did you...use protection last night?" She hesitated a bit but knew that if she took too long in answering it would take longer for them to get back.
Tobey thought back to then. "No. I was just too excited to do it I must have forgotten to. I thought you were on the pill?" He asked her sounding calm but inside he was freaking out.
"I'm not. Oh God, if Bob doesn't kill me then my parents will." Becky began panicking. Tobey took this time to get out of bed and get dressed. "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID THAT!" Becky cried.
Someone banged on the wall from the room next to them. "Yeah and I can't believe that you still won't shut up about it!" Said a deep masculine voice from the room next to them.
Becky blushed and not long after they left their room key, paid and they were off. On their way there, Jackie texted them to come to the closest diner. It wasn't too far from where they were so they just walked in silence.
They just wanted to delay this inevitable scolding from Bob as much as possible.
At the diner...
Everyone ordered their food and ate in silence. Bob kept glaring at them as he ate. He wanted to tell them off but he didn't want to cause a scene.
He surprised everyone by going off on Becky first, not caring if he caused a scene. Just kidding, it wasn't that loud.
*How could you sneak off with him like that? Do you have any idea how worried I was? You didn't leave a note or anything.* He took a deep breath...*I'm just glad you're ok*
By this point Jackie had come back to reality. "Where did you guys even go for that many hours anyway?" She asked them with an eyebrow raised.
"I'll...tell you about it later." Said Becky indicating to Bob with her eyes. "In fact I feel like we should go to the bathroom to...powder our noses." Said Becky as she practically dragged Jackie to the bathroom with her.
"Why are girls always going to the bathroom together?" Sam asked Tobey and Bob as he glanced at his niece and friend leave.
"That is a good question that I'm not sure we as men will ever know the answer to." Said Tobey, who then took a sip of his drink.
Meanwhile...Becky told Jackie what they did...she just didn't include the details.
Jackie was shocked to say the least. She thought they would have waited until marriage to do that.
In the meantime...
"How come we only appear in the first couple of chapters in this fanfic and then are no longer needed? We were part of Becky's life long before Tobey or Jackie." Said a familiar reporter we all know.
"Now Scoops, maybe they wrote us out of it for a reason." Said Violet, trying to calm down her boyfriend who was sitting on a spa chair with a green facial on his face and cucumbers covering his eyes. Violet had a pink facial on her face but she had beets on her eyes. (I'm just making this up i really don't know if you should put beets over your eyes. but you probably shouldn't)
By this point Scoops, Violet and their respective families had done just about everything this resort had to offer at least once.
"But seriously can we be written back into the main plot?" Scoops asked as a manicurist began giving him a manicure. You know...maybe we should let the readers decide on this.
Do you guys think that Scoops and Violet should be written back into the main plot? Please let me know about this in the comments... also please comment and I will be sure to give you a shout out at the beginning of the next chapter. I will update in a week. So please be sure to comment, complain I don't care what you do in the comments as long as this recieved some feedback from you guys so please comment... I will see you in the next fanfic.
"Please let us come back..." Said Scoops.
