Time Flies

Preface

After a long time of waiting, here you have it, chapter 16. 2 things. First, I'm sorry for the very big time gap and this time it wasn't school. I just sort of lost interest in writing and a lack of inspiration. Second, the government of my country (Belgium) decided to close the schools because of the coronavirus. This left me with more free time. I sure have some tasks for school but a lot more of free time. And I became a bit bored after 2 weeks of confinement and thought about fanfiction again. I became motivated again and with this motivation I bring for you the next chapter of my story. Enjoy!

Chapter 16

General POV

Sandra's move didn't work that long. Nonny's program sent a message to everyone who got Sandras picture. You could say the situation was kind of under control. But the 6 Guppies reunited to talk about the whole situation. "Okay, okay… I believe you all that Sandra is the bad guy in this story". Oona said to begin. "Finally". Gil shouted. "Let's begin with finding a plan". Molly said. "A plan for what?" Deema said. "A plan to stop Sandra's coups and a plan to counter a possible move of her". Molly said calmly. "Okay, share your ideas I guess". Gil said skeptically. This had quite an impact on the atmosphere, everyone became silent. Nobody knew what to say or propose. After some minutes of thinking Gil himself stood up and said: "Nonny, in what slide do I have to look for the cookies?" Nonny pointed towards a slide in the kitchen and Gil went to it. "I taught he had an idea, not so". Goby said to Deema. Gil came back with his mouth full. "Mmmh, delicious. I recognize the taste from somewhere but I can't remember". After another moment of silence with Gil eating cookies, he stood up again and said: "I remember!" "Remember what?" Deema asked. "The taste of the cookies!" Gil responded with. "Nobody cares, we need a solution against Sandra. Not cookies!" Deema said back. "When I was at Mikes house for the whole 'MikexDeemaxGoby' affair, he gave me a cookie with the same taste as this one". Gil told this being a little overexcited. Everyone remained silent and cringed a bit. Gil noticed that. "Ow come on. The cookie is not gonna help us but maybe Mike". Everyone understood it now and did the typical 'aaaaah'. Gil did it too in a sarcastic way as response. "But he might be at his sisters side". Oona said. "Don't be skeptical Oona, we can at least try". Gil said. The guppies now began discussing a plan to stop Sandra via Mike.

1 hour past and de Guppies repeated the plan for one last time. "So I will contact Mike and ask him if he wants to hang out. I'll then bring him to my home and you will all wait there, my parents are quasi never home so don't worry about that. We will then confront him with all the evidence we have and try to get him at our side". Everyone nodded towards Gil. "One thing we didn't discuss yet. When will we do that? When is everyone available?" Gil said. Everyone looked at each other. "We'll discuss that later, I need to go home". Deema said. Everybody agreed and they all went home. Deema, Goby and Oona just left. Molly is waiting for Gil. Gil and Nonny are standing next to each other in the door entrance. "Don't worry Nonny, after this whole f*cked up story is over, I'll help you with Oona. You have to know that I'll never touch her, even less when a stupid kid is spreading false photos of me and her kissing". Gil said. "I hope so, I can barely think properly when she's around. I really suffer from this internal feeling, you know what I mean Gil?" Gil nodded with a smile which made Nonny smile too. "Gil are you coming?" Molly shouted. "Yes Molly! Girls these days". Gil said to Nonny while walking away. "Goddamnit, my chain fell of my bike, don't worry it'll only take 2 minutes Molly". Molly went to Nonny instead of seeing Gil struggle. "Gil is clumsy sometimes". Molly said laughing. "Yea…" Nonny said a bit uncomfortable. "You know, before this whole affair with Sandra and things, Deema and I talked with Oona. Not just talking, talking about what she feels for you". Nonny looked at Molly. "I'm not gonna lie, Nonny, she dreams of you. She loves you more than anything else. I'm sure you and the boys had the same conversations, but the same answers?" Molly said with a questioning smile. Nonny this time had the courage to respond honestly. "In all honestly, yes I kinda think the same way. I mean kinda because I love Oona as much as she apparently loves me, not me loving myself as much as Oona loves me. Then I would be a narcissist". They both laughed. "You're the first of the boys that will hear this". Molly said. "At the beginning of the school year remember? We had to make drawings or something. That's the first time me and the girls broke the ice about you know what. I said I loved Gil, Deema said she loved Goby and Oona said by pure coincidence that she loved you. Throughout the year we helped each other with all sorts of plans or convincing to confess to the boys etc. You get the point. For example. Deema and Oona helped me with Gil. I and Oona helped Deema with Goby. And I and Deema wanted to help Oona with you but then this b*tch of a Sandra shows up and disturbs everything. It's just impossible for us to help Oona now. Now did the boys do exactly the same as we did?" "Well, yes you could say that. What I've remembered is that Gil and Goby sincerely wanted to help me. But then Sandra, you know the story". Nonny said. "That's good then. But also, there is no denial that the girls and the boys who helped the 2 others discussed plans together. For example when I and Oona were helping Deema, we went to you and Gil to discuss plans together". Nonny nodded. "We even discussed some things with Goby. What I want to say Nonny, is that you can count on every single of us. You don't need to stay with the boys for information and suggestions. If you want more information about Oona, ask us instead. We probably know much more than the boys". Nonny smiled. "Thanks Molly, I sure appreciate all of your help. I sometimes considered myself as the 'odd' and 'silent' one of our group. But now I can change that idea". Molly smiled and the two hugged just when Gil arrived. "Ow I see what you two are doing. I promised you something Nonny but it has to work for both sides". Gil said while laughing. Molly and Gil went home and Nonny went back to his bedroom, thinking about Oona.

Once more, sorry for the time gap. The hardest part of something is getting started. When I'm doing something I need to do it until the end. I need extra motivation or pressure to start a whole new thing and I think I have that with writing chapters. It's difficult to begin writing a chapter but when you're in it, you can't stop. That will be another excuse for this time gap. So I decided to write shorter chapters from now. In the past I used to write short chapters only for a major event, now you can only expect small chapters. I hope you liked this one and that the next chapter is coming soon.
