D heard this and his eyes turned red. Seems YOU'RE starting to adapt to the environment here, a little too well...bue…. Bue was very afraid, she wanted to stay with all her friends...and...with the light. D was furious at this, hearing these thoughts he assumed bue was going to betray him again to remain on this side, but then he had an idea. He snapped his fingers and a small mirror appeared in front of bue, he waved his hand up and her face started turning evil. She got angry and flipped over to face him instead of the mirror, she wouldn't fall for his tricks. When she got up, yawned, and finished rubbing her eyes, she noticed there was a crown on D's head and he was holding a rose and the desk was a giant marshmallow, bue froze with a huge blush of embarrassment. D blew his hair flap up and chuckled slightly then snapped his fingers and gave bue a tiara, she could tell what was on her head but just blushed more, "so...princess buena, I'm guessing this is the game you're going to prefer when the THREE of us return?" D had the cockiest grin on his smug face, she snapped her fingers and returned the room to normal but the tiara stayed. The two had entirely forgotten that manitoba was still in the room, leaning against the wall eating popcorn, obviously amused with the show. She got out of the bed, took off the tiara and threw it at the wall, D had to duck, the sharp end of it let it hold and she smirked. "I don't dream o' that….it was merely a...side effec' from bein' dead fer so lon'...yeah!" Bue had her hands on her hips, looking away from D with a pout and a blush. D chuckled and manitoba laughed through the duct tape, bue kicked him in the shin, "come now, a princess shouldn't be so violent...haha". D continued his laughter, Bue flew her fist directed at D to punch him and make him shut up but he grabbed it before it could hit his face. "Though 'ya know...I'd be glad to be the prince charming…". She gagged once again and flew another punch that would be an uppercut, he grabbed it as well and moved it down pulling her closer to him. Manitoba was leaning forward now, ignoring his heavily bruised shin with the suspense. I could see svetlana rooting for a kiss right about now. Bue whipped her head to face him, "DON'T YOU GIVE HIM ANY IDEA'S!" Manitoba rolled his eyes and ate some more of his popcorn then he noticed mal sleeping on the floor by the desk, oooooh...so THAT'S where he was! D was about to slap his forehead but of course he couldn't let go of bue's hands. D started to lean in closer to bue who kept trying to tilt her head back as much as possible, then, just as their lips were about to meet… two hands clapped together instantly cut between them, it was mal and he managed to separate the two completely, bue fell on her butt near the trash can behind the desk, while on the right, D was at the wall right underneath the tiara that bue had thrown. "Thanks-", bue looked at mal with relief, "-FOR NOTHIN'!" She yelled, looking at manitoba who looked away quietly and ate his popcorn. Another pause came about then bue hopped up and summoned a mirror in hopes of getting rid of the slight awkwardness. It just showed mike and zoey sitting next to each other writing down notes from on the board, she changed the angle to see the board and it filled up the entire thing, bue just turned from bored to annoyed and snapped her fingers so the mirror would disappear. She wasn't facing the others as her face became bright red from her failure, "I'm bored...how long are we stayin' in here?!" D's head popped up, when bue heard his thoughts her eyes bulged out of remembrance and fear while she got into a ball. Mal heard them to! "I thought you'd never ask…". The two were afraid and shaking, manitoba had forgotten that they were going back to the darkness though clearly they didn't want to go, then mal thought of something. "I'd like to say bye to mike first if we're go-" "-WHEN we go!" Mal put his hands behind his back with an innocent look, not facing D, bue got up and stood by mal. "I guess we'll jus' have to wait 'till night for 'im to fall asleep, 'till then, how 'bout I go say g'bye to the otha's." Without asking D's concent, she headed to the door but then with an annoyed face heard mal's panicked thoughts, DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH HIM!
Aye...hehe, 'ya got manny...you'll be fine… She reached for the knob, D knew what she was planning of course and without mal seeing his face, he smirked. Bue was getting nervous quickly and ran out so fast it almost seemed like D's teleportation. Once she was in the hall, instead of running she was walking very slowly, the hallway was mucky and slimy on the walls, the ground was slightly uneven so there were puddles, the ceiling dripped like a cave. The hallway was similar to dungeon walls; stone black and gray bricks, the ground was that of an old fashioned road with the oval like shaped stones all packed together making the ground bumpy and slippery, it had the eerie vibe of a silent swamp in the middle of the night with no moon. At this point, she was expecting an owl to 'hoo'. As she continued down the hallway, it seemed endless whereas the other day it was only about 30-45 max feet long. "I bet D did this...or…." "Mal was the one who flooded the place, not me" She remembered D saying this. Meanwhile the others, in the board room were just sitting at the big table in the center, they knew D wasn't in the darkness since they all had recently checked, via, mirror, it was obvious he was on their side but he hadn't really bothered them. They all were thinking the same thought, maybe he's gone good. The huge clash of dark water running through the hallway never made it to them nor could they recall about being knocked from the gas that D had imagined. Bue was reading their thoughts and got mad but then she heard vito's thoughts, I hear footprints… this made her smile, she was close, though for some reason still didn't want to run. Then she stopped and pulled up a clock, it was almost 7, she shrieked quietly and started running, stepping in puddle after puddle with a big splash, without socks and only flats, her lower legs and feet were soaked and muddy. She stopped when she noticed the hallway getting longer and couldn't hear the other's thoughts anymore, similar to a signal falling out of reach. In the room, D was tempted to just throw manitoba through the mirror to take control, sending mike over here so mal could have his goodbye quicker, with just the snap of his fingers he could bring bue and everybody else back here. Though deep down, he didn't want to really break that tiny promise he'd made to wait until nightfall for mike and let bue say her goodbyes, he couldn't let their return start off sour, making it up to them would just be…. D stopped in mid-thought as his eyes faded to brown. He decided to snap his fingers, bue was teleported to the board room where the others were then flew up a mirror for reassurance on bue's behave. Bue was surprised, ...D…. She had a smile as she ran up to the big table, "GUYS! IT'S AWESOME TO SEE 'YA AGAIN!" Chester twisted his finger in his ear, "WOULD YOU QUIT YOU'RE YELLING,...what're 'ya doing here anyway?!" "Well I-" "WHY are 'ya here?!" Vito rudely asked. "W-well I wanted to-" "AND VHAT MAKES YOU SINC ZAT VE VANTED YOU HERE?!" Bue stepped back, ol' svet's got no right in this conversation anymore…! "Quite the nerve 'ya got there!...where'd 'ya get it? probably from the easily influenced idiot store near the hypnosis ile! Am I right D?!" "There's no D here… just us…". Bue was getting stubborn, "you're tryin' to make me scared with some discouragin', let me tell 'ya something...IT WON'T WORK THIS TIME!" Vito got mad now, he got up and grabbed her wrists and threw her against the wall. "YOU'VE DONE THIS ILLUSION BEFORE,...heh, you're losin' you're edge, I don't fall for your idiotic hypnosis or your stupid influence!" Vito ran straight towards bue with his fist tightly clenched, bue ducked quickly as vito hit the wall making a small crater. She did a summersault due to little room for escape then turned around fast to hopefully catch a glimpse of red crimson eyes saying that this wasn't their fault but...they were brown. Bue gasped as vito came at her again, she leaned back far, her hair at the ground as he threw his punch barely missing her by a strands distance from her nose. Her hands hit the floor beneath her, flat, she was in an arch formation. Vito was about to elbow her stomach but she kicked her feet up into the air hard, hitting him across the face with a muddy shoe. She fell on her tush and looked back at the others, they had annoyed faces obviously bored with the show seeing lack of bruises other than vito's, eyes still brown. "Y-you guys...aren't hypnotized? D didn't do anything?...". They stayed silent with bored and annoyed looks, I thought she'd get the message by now.. Vito sarcastically thought. Bue was beyond pissed but calmed down with a cocky grin, "oh please...do go on." She's got quite the pea sized brain only much smaller. Chester stated (thought...same thing at this point). Vhy iz a girl of darkness in such a pure place vhere she CLEARLY doesn't belong?! Svetlana thought. Bue looked down with clenched fists and chuckled, confusing the others, she snapped her fingers and pulled down the mirror that D had transported with her. "They're fakes! They aren't even able to thin' normal thoughts, those guys AREN'T mikes personas!" She gave him the smuggest grin and he stood shocked and dumbfounded. D laughed playfully, "wanna play detective when we head back?" Bue's face changed from smug and arrogant to grumpy and annoyed, she pulled up a clock and it was nearly eleven, if she were a piece of glass she'd be a shattered pile on the ground. Unable to move and being frozen with shock, bue snapped her fingers in an attempt to get rid of the mirror but it just stayed though, still got rid of the clock. She turned back to face him, "have I ever told you that you're as beautiful as a blossoming rose when you're mad?" For that, she ran up to all three of the fakes but when she kicked them all at once they turned into dark mist, her eyes were black and the dark circles returned. She stomped her foot on the ground heavily with a tantrum following as she punched the wall making a much bigger crater than fake vito's. "Quite the anger 'ya got there-" "I'LL BREAK 'YA IN HALF!" She ran to the door leading out but remembered the mucky hallway, and so, with a pout she snapped her fingers and created an umbrella. "I'd recommend cooling down.." D snapped his fingers and it started pouring, bue imagined black rain boots while the dark circles faded but the black eyes stayed seeing as how annoyed she was with D. "Where's mal? Isn't he in the room?" "He's sleepin'". He answered bluntly, bue blew her damp hair flap up. "Why's he so tired, did 'ya do somethin' to keep 'im quiet?...an' would'ya jus' snap 'ya finga's an' teleport me into the room?!" "Why when you're already here?" Bue turned her head away from the mirror and saw the door, she no longer needed an umbrella so it disappeared with a poof. When she opened the door, it looked like the normal room, D was in the center holding a rose, her annoyed face didn't change but she did blush seeing the nice flower. D walked up to her, put the rose in her hand, and kissed the other hand. She blushed even more, this time her face changed to surprised and she quickly looked away, GYAAAAH! It's just like in those stupid commercials, WHY AM I SO EASILY SWAYED?! Of course, D sneered. He was at the doorway when bue showed up, when she walked in the door closed behind her to show a full length dark….mirror.
I get that this chapter was particularly long but it's hard to find stopping points sometimes.
