A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. My stupid teachers decided my classmates and I weren't being challenged enough, so there have been loads of homework lately. I have an idea for an ending; hopefully I will finish this story soon. It shouldn't be more than 10 chapters. Again, if anyone knows how to put things in italics on here, please, please tell me.
Chapter 6
Marius was asleep for a while, and Eponine got tired of waiting, so she decided to take a nap as well. Of course, right after she fell asleep, Marius woke up.
"Is Cosette back yet?" he grumbled as he rubbed his eyes.
"No," replied Enjolras. He snickered under his breath. Marius sighed and began to sing.
On my own,
Pretending she's beside me
All alone, I walk with her 'til morning
Without her-
Marius was interrupted by a flying pillow and numerous people screaming, "SHUT UP!!!" Marius sighed and lied
back down on his back, looking at the clouds.
"That one looks like Cosette," he remarked as he pointed to a cloud.
"It looks like a frog," replied Enjolras.
"It looks like a rat," replied Joly.
"It looks like a bottle of wine," replied Grantaire.
"No, it looks like Cosette!" said Marius adamantly. He stood up and grabbed his bag. "And I'm going to find her
and apologize! What you told me to do didn't work, Enjolras!"
"No!" exclaimed Enjolras. "You have to stay here! If you go and apologize, it doesn't work!" Enjolras was hoping that Marius would just forget about Cosette, so he wouldn't have to see her again.
"I don't believe you!" yelled Marius. He began to walk off. Marius's yelling woke up Eponine.
"Huh?" she said, rubbing her eyes. She saw Marius walking away. "Marius! No! Don't leave me! I mean, us!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah! Don't go looking for Cosette, then she'll just dump you permanently!" yelled Enjolras.
"Dump him permanently? Leave Marius! Leave! Get out of here!" said Eponine. "Go get dumped permanently," she added under her breath.
"No! Eponine, don't tell him to leave! You don't understand," said Enjolras to Eponine.
"Huh?" questioned Eponine. Enjolras took a deep breath.
"I told him to sing the wrong song to her so she would dump him and I wouldn't see the dummy ever again and he was disappointed when he was dumped because he didn't want to be dumped and if he goes out looking for her and apologizes then she'll take him back and then I have to deal with her again so I told him he would just be dumped again if he goes out looking for her and she only gets really happy with him when she comes back!" explained Enjolras very, very, quickly. He began to breathe again.
"Oh," said Eponine. "So I should tell him to stay?"
"Yes."
"Marius! Come back!" she yelled. But Marius was already gone.
"Noooo," whined Enjolras. "Now when he finds Cosette and apologizes and everything, they will both come back!"
"And he will never love me!" added Eponine.
"I feel a song coming on," grumbled Joly. Eponine began to sing.
On my own,
Pretending he's beside me
All alone,
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him-
Again, she was interrupted by a flying pillow and numerous people screaming, "SHUT UP!!!" Eponine whimpered.
"We have to find him and bring him back!" she exclaimed.
"Or we could just kill Cosette," suggested Enjolras. He grinned at the thought.
"How 'bout we just go looking for one of them, and whichever one we find first," said Eponine. Enjolras shrugged.
"Sure." He turned to the other men. "Who wants to be in charge while we're gone?" Everyone waved their hands in the air.
"Ooh! Pick me, pick me!"
"No, pick me!"
"Hm," said Enjolras. "Gavroche, you're in charge."
"Yay!" squealed Gavroche. "In your face Joly!"
"Gavroche? The little nine year-old orphan?" exclaimed Joly
"He is the bravest of all you chickens," explained Enjolras.
"Hmph," muttered Joly. Gavroche laughed.
"Okay," said Enjolras. "Let's go."
A/N: Does this chapter make sense? Probably not. I don't remember how old Gavroche is; he's probably not nine like I said, but if someone tells me in the reviews I'll change it.
