Chapter 2: Dash's Terrible Misunderstanding.

Dash was so upset that he wouldn't come out of his room, even for dessert. Violet had heard him crying from the hallway, but, despite feeling bad for making him cry, figured he'd just get over it. Dash was just in his room crying. Violet had really hurt his feelings.

'Why doesn't Violet wanna spend time with me?! Sure, I've pranked her before and messed with her, but I didn't deserve to be yelled at like that! I just wanted her to spend more time with me!' Dash thought as he had his face buried in his pillow.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and his tears got worse, "What if Violet doesn't love me?!" he wondered aloud.

Meanwhile, Violet sat down at the dinner table. Her parents took notice of Dash's absence and asked her about it.

"Dash asked if I wanted to spend time with him, but I didn't. He'll just pull a prank on me and try to make fun of me when I fall for it. I'm too smart to fall for his rotten tricks." Violet said as she took a sip of water. That's when she noticed her parents not having pleased looks on their faces.

"What is it?" Violet asked.

"Violet, while we understand your feelings, we must tell you that what you did was very insensitive. We heard you yelling and Dash crying from the living room. He was probably telling the truth about wanting to spend time with you." Helen said.

"Your mother's right, young lady. After dinner, we expect you to apologize to Dash. If he wants to spend time with you, then do what he wants." Bob said.

Violet sighed in annoyance, but knew they were right. Once dinner was finished, Violet walked upstairs and knocked on Dash's door.

"Dash, come on out." Violet said, only to get no response.

"I'm not mad at you." she said, but still nothing. She finally sighed and opened his door, only to receive a shocking surprise. Dash's window was open and he was nowhere in sight, neither was his super suit. Violet got wide-eyed in alarm before she noticed a note taped to his bed. She walked over and grabbed it. She read the following off it.

"Dear Violet,

I understand if you don't want to spend time with me. All I do is bother you and make you angry. There's no problem if you don't love me. You don't have to worry. I won't be around to bother you anymore. I'm running away. Tell Mom and Dad and Jack-Jack I'll miss them. The same goes for you, too.

Goodbye Forever,

Dash."

Violet looked at the note with wide eyes before she looked at the opened window and got sad.

"What have I done?!" she asked herself before she rushed downstairs with the note.

Meanwhile, Dash, dressed as Speed Demon, was running down the street in super speed and tears. He had already run through most of Metroville and had stopped outside an abandoned sector of town. He panted before he wiped his tears and looked around. Buildings were either condemned, falling apart, or had no lights at all, having had their power cut a long time ago. Dash got scared, knowing he was all alone. He started to think that maybe he should've stayed in his bedroom, when he was startled by a sudden noise in the darkness. He looked at a bush, which he could've been sure he heard rustling. The next thing he knew, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and saw someone step in front of him before he blacked out.
