The night came fast for the town of Simport...
Some of the people were just doing their usual thing now that the funeral finally was over...
Most were trying to get their minds off of what happened, and try to move on...
Katie and Chaz were hanging out together, as Crystal decided to head off home to just stay there for the rest of the night. The tomboy felt like things have escalated badly in this town recently, and she wants to try to get her mind off of it the best she can. It wasn't really much of a romantic date for the two of them, but they rather be out getting themselves some dinner rather than go home and dwell on the situation.
Sitting at a random diner, Katie and Chaz sat there at a booth table, waiting for their food to get to the table. The jukebox near was playing 'Hold me Now' by the Thompson Twins, as the two were waiting for a waiter to get to their table. Sitting there, the tomboy decided to start up a conversation between the two of them, seeing that the two of them were pretty silent when they got inside.
"So...just checking, did you ever see the movie Grease yet? I've been thinking about it ever since I've seen your motorcycle." Katie said, hoping that this conversation would get their minds off of what happened this morning. Chaz lowers his menu, looking at his girlfriend.
"Let me guess, you're wanting to get your mind off of what happened, so you're using a random thought to try to take our minds off of it?" Chaz asked her. Katie cringes hearing that.
"Sorry...but...I felt like we're both just depressed about everything that happened this week, and...I don't know, this summer has...seriously been hard for us. Summer is now married to Luke, she went along with us to that hangout at Travis and Liberty's house, now...one of the students is...gone...forever..." Katie cringed again, before trying to keep off of that topic. "...Look, I just...want both of us to be happy one of these days, despite how...crappy this month has been for us so far." Chaz leans forward on the table, looking at his girlfriend again.
"Hey, I get it, Kate...don't worry about anything..."
"I'm not too worried about anything...except for..." Chaz looked at Katie, raising an eyebrow, wondering what she was about to say next. "...I've been giving it thought, but...maybe I am thinking too deep into it...but...you don't think something like THAT is going to happen to me and you right? Like...Summer is going to wish you were back into her life, and than...you and her, and..." Katie looks down, before shaking her head. "...I'm...sorry, that was probably an extremely stupid question for me to even asked..."
"No, it wasn't a stupid question, babe...and no...just because Summer and I have broken up, and everything that has happened between us..." Chaz held up his hands. "...We won't end up like Goth Boy, Winter, and Yuki. Our relationship isn't going to end up like that, Kate." Chaz points to the window. "Summer now has Luke, and for all I can care, unlike how Goth Boy and Winter's relationship was like in the past, Summer can go to hell for all I care! If she divorces Luke and wants me back, than...that's too bad!"
"I...guess I really don't have to worry about losing you to somebody else." Chaz gave his girlfriend a genuine smile, before holding her hands.
"You know I'd never hurt you, Kate. You've helped me out when Summer Baxter dumped me, and...when I was wanting to be alone, and wanted to talk to nobody, and even though we were...kind of rivals back in high school...you never gave up on me." Katie smiled back at her boyfriend, before speaking to him.
"Rivals or not, I didn't want you to...be depressed, dude. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, and thinking that there was good somewhere in you, even if you were a prick to all the other students."
"Even if I called you princess?"
"Oh, shut up." Katie laughs, before waving a hand, pretending to smack his hand. "You know I hate being called that..." Chaz smiled, shaking his head and laughing. "But hey, at least it's not Crystal you're saying that to, you know? She would totally kick your ass if you tell her that." Chaz nods his head, almost laughing at that being said. "I wonder what she's doing tonight right now? She hasn't really said anything to me after she left the cemetery. I really wonder what's up with that, considering that she was slowly seeing ourselves as friends moments ago."
"I don't know...I guess she was just tired on the fact that her best friend was dead, so...she just went home after the funeral." Chaz said, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess that's the case why she didn't join along with us. That's all I can see the answer being with her." Katie nods her head.
"I guess that makes sense. Things have been crap for Crystal for this whole year."
"True. This year has been a bit garbage for a lot of us so far."
The tomboy looks over to the jukebox, before looking over to her boyfriend. "You know...2019 has been a pretty crappy year for me, you, Crystal...a lot of other people so far...but hey, why not we try to stay optimistic until the next year comes, huh?" Katie stood up from the booth table, before looking at her boyfriend. "I'm going to change the jukebox's song for us, okay? Besides, I feel like this day has been sad enough for everyone." Chaz nods his head.
"I guess that makes sense. That sounds like a good idea."
Chaz sat there, as a waiter came by with the couple's drinks. The waiter placed their cups of soda down for themselves, as Katie was away from the table. Katie picks the song 'Come on Eileen' by Dexys Midnight-Runners to play for themselves, just to try to let them feel better. The girl walks back over to her booth table, sitting across from her boyfriend.
"Good pick for a song, babe." Chaz said, as Katie sat down in front of him. "Travis would totally love this song if he were here right now." Katie giggles.
"You like this song?" Katie asked him.
"Well...yeah...I was just driving up to Augusta, listening to this song as I was once passing through the grasslands on my way there this January. You know, I was going there to bring Renee to a petting zoo she was wanting to see one time." Katie giggles, hearing that being said. "Yeah, laugh all you like, but that was pretty much the best part of that day, you know."
"I hear you, dude." The tomboy pulls herself closer to Chaz, kissing him on the cheek. Chaz took a sip of his drink, and allowed their date to continue.
Out in the town...
Candy was full aware about the funeral that has happened this morning. She, Zack, nor Sapphire went to the funeral, since they felt like they'd be mistaken for wanting to party and disrespect Yuki, so they didn't come. Club Candy wasn't even open this entire week because of this fact as well.
The blonde tomboy say there on her lawn chair, at her house, holding a can of soda that she took from her fridge. Sapphire came to her house, as she wanted to see if her best friend was alright. The party girl approached the front porch, sitting down in the other chair that was there, before smiling softly for her girlfriend.
"Candy, sweetie. Are you okay?" Sapphire asked her. Candy sighed, before looking at the can in her her hands.
"Truthfully Saph, I'm really let down after this entire week, you know?" Candy said, shaking her head in sadness. "I mean...Yuki is...stil dead, and...we've haven't been at the club for an entire week now. Shit has gotten way too insane this week, I can tell you that much..." Sapphire nods her head in agreement there.
"Like, I know." The party girl places a hand on the blonde girl's shoulder, before looking at her in her eyes. "I just wanted to check on you to see if you were alright."
"I'm...I could've been better. Really, Simport could've been better at this very time. Somebody's dead...again...first Ruby Alder, now Yuki...I feel like at the end of the year, somebody else in this town is going to end up dead, once again." Sapphire frowns, scooting her chair closer to Candy.
"Candy, you're like, never this pessimistic..." Candy sighed.
"I'm usually never...but shit like today really lets me down too badly..."
"You know what? Why don't we go do something tomorrow? Just me and you? There's a fairground that's in town recently, and...I just felt like that would be something good enough for both of us to enjoy."
Candy looks over to Sapphire, staring at her with an expressionless look on her face. A couple moments of silence later, Candy smiled, before nodding her head, agreeing to that idea Sapphire just said.
"That would be an awesome idea, Sapphire...thank you." Sapphire smiled, before kissing Candy on her cheek. "I...think it's been quite the day, you know? I think I'll catch you tomorrow."
"Be at the fairground by eleven?" Sapphire asked, smiling at Candy.
"Be there at eleven, babe."
After that was said and agreed on, Candy and Sapphire stood up, and went different ways. Candy went into her own house, as Sapphire started to head off to the sidewalk to head back home. She felt so excited to go and have fun at a fairground for once during this depressing week. It should hopefully lighten the depressing mood for both girls at this time, and maybe a couple of other people around Simport.
Along the way home, Sapphire took notice of Tim standing inside of his own house. He was standing there in his window, talking with his dad, by the TV in their living room. Sapphire smiled, before remembering what Tim would really want in life.
'Oh...that Tim...' Sapphire said in her thoughts. 'If he comes to the fairground too, as well as that Pinky girl, I would totally love to see them finally get together. It would be so romantic...' The party girl smiled, before facing away from the window of Tim's house. 'Well...I like, totally got to get home now. I have a big day with my girlfriend tomorrow.' Sapphire walked off the rest of the way home.
