Okay, second chapter. Okay, I'm on a roll! With butter! Oo;;; the characters might be OOC, I dunno. I can't tell.
After skool, Pepito and Squee walked down the sidewalk toward the playground. "So, what do you think of Sam?" Squee asked, shifting his backpack.
Pepito cocked an eyebrow and looked amused, "I like her! She gots power, and she's nice. You don't see that every often ya know. Most of 'em are usually serious bit—"
"Pepito!" he laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry amigo, it's those late night shows on TV," they got to the playground and scanned the area. "I don't see her!" said Squee, a hint of worry in his voice.
"I sense she's around here somewhere," They walked around, looking for her. They walked by a big oak tree and an eerie voice called, "Squee, I am your faaaaather," Sam then jumped out of the tree and landed in front of them.
"Twice removed!" She grinned with a goofy look on her face and the boys couldn't help but laugh, even though she scared the heck out of Squee with her sudden appearance. She eyed the playground for a moment, then said, "Hey, swings! Let us swing!"
She dashed off towards the swings, but Squee and Pepito went at a slower pace. She sat in one swing and swung her legs about, but didn't seem to go anywhere. She tried even harder, but still remained in the same place.
She let out an exasperated sigh and slouched. "Dang it…" Pepito then smirked and thought, "Now I will attempt to get on her good side!" He ran up behind her and asked smoothly, "Need help?" She turned her head to look at him with big green eyes and nodded.
He put his hands on her back and pushed her and she swung forward, then came back and he pushed again till she managed to swing on her own. "Wheehee! Thank you Pepito!" She cried happily as she swung, her hair swishing back and forth.
Squee noticed something on her forehead that was hidden with her bangs and questioned, "What's that on your head?" Sam dug her heels into the ground and stopped abruptly, then pulled back her bangs to reveal a line of stitches on the left side of her forehead.
"It's nothing serious," "W-what happened?" Her cheerful demeanor faltered for a moment, then pointed randomly and yelled, "Look, a monkey!" Squee turned his head in the direction she was pointing, and then Sam lightly tapped his shoulder.
"Tag! You are it!" She then ran and the two boys just stood there for a few moments, then Squee giggled and poked Pepito in the head. "Now you're it!" He then ran and Pepito chased him. He was about to fire his evil powers at him cause he didn't feel like chasing him,
when Sam came running up beside him, "Can't catch me!" She swerved and Pepito changed his course, now sprinting after the energetic girl. He growled as he got closer and closer, until he finally leaped at her and sent them both tumbling to the ground.
They kept rolling until they finally stopped and Pepito pinned her underneath him. Her eyes got impossibly wide and she blushed to the tips of her ears as he slowly reached and, tapped the tip of her nose and smirked, a fang slipping over his bottom lip.
"Now you're it," They got up and dusted themselves off and they were about to resume their play, when a man bellowed, "SAMANTHA!!" She squealed and fell flat on her face. She righted herself and wiped the dirt off her face, then yelled, "WHAT?!"
She turned to see a man standing on the sidewalk next to his blue parked car. He had short brown hair that was slicked back, and wearing a faded green shirt with a pair of blue jeans. "Get over here! We're going home!" he demanded.
"Correction: YOU'RE going home, Randy! I'm playing with my friends!" She snapped at the man, and he stomped over to her and painfully grabbed her wrist. "You're coming home, now!" She yelped in pain as she was dragged away, then called out softly, "Bye guys…".
Randy slung her into the car and she pressed her face up against the window, a sad expression on her face, looking like a puppy in a store window that had all its' brothers and sisters taken away. The car drove away and Pepito and Squee sighed in unison.
"Well, there goes our fun," the small demon said, a bit peeved at how this Randy-person treated Sam. Squee noticed his silent fuming and snickered, "I think you liiiiike her," he teased, causing Pepito to jump back a little.
"I do not!" he retorted. "Okay then…" he paused for a moment, trying to stifle a laugh, "I think you loooove her." He glowered at his paranoid friend and pointed a shaking finger at him. "Stop it or I'll fry your insides!"
Squee stopped and put his hands up in defeat. "Okay, okay, yeesh." He picked up his backpack and sighed heavily. "I probably should be getting home. See ya tomorrow Pepito," Pepito nodded and the two left the playground, each going their separate ways.
Pepito flung open the front door and set down his backpack, looking around spotting his mom on the couch. He sauntered over and hopped up onto the couch with her.
"Hi dear!" she sang, kissing him on the head, "How was school?" "We have a new girl in our class," his mom beamed and quickly said, "How wonderful! Is she nice?" He nodded slowly and she frowned, "Well you don't sound too happy about it. What's wrong?"
He took a deep breath, "Mother, what is love?" her eyes widened at her sons' question, them smiled warmly. "It's a feeling. It's when you care about somebody and you want to be with him or her. It's kind of hard to explain, but…"
"It's okay mother, I think I get it." He gave her a hug, then went upstairs to his room to contemplate.
Such a polite boy ^^ Next chapter up soon! I think!—but not much! oO;;;
