"One way ticket takes me anywhere, northbound southbound I don't even care, I know the grass is greener there."
I could hear over my many verses of Mamma Cass Evelyn repeating over and over, "She'll finish soon, don't worry your ears aren't bleeding." I worry about her sometimes.
I turned to Bobby who had been holding my hand constantly since we had left the others and questioned, "You don't think that my singing's bad, do you?"
Bobby looked like a rabbit caught in headlights as he tried to think fast. But he hadn't thought fast enough. I took off my bag and hit him with it, hard! "I can't believe that you think I can't sing. You used to tell me that my voice was what you liked best about me!!" As I was saying this I repeatedly hit him.
"I know I said that but, I lied. I'm sorry whittle kitty, I'd only just met you and you were cute and… will you stop hitting me!!" He grabbed me by the arm but that didn't stop me. I was nearly in tears now. Our entire relationship had been a lie. I couldn't believe him. I really hated him at this moment in time and from the look of it he hated me too.
"Will you too stop it I'm trying to listen out." Ev looked really agitated now so I stopped wrestling. She looked like she was sucking on a lemon. She was trying to take over like they all do but this wasn't going to happen like it did with Mel. I stood tall and began walking to the front of our little group. "Why are you walking like that? Do you need the toilet?" Bobby chimed in. Sometimes I really wondered why I loved the little monkey.
Just then the ground shook. It wasn't like an earthquake as such, more like someone very large walking heavy-footed. "Dear god, what did you wake up here?" Bobby was trembling beside me and Ev didn't look that much better from her position.
It was up to me to decide what we were going to do…
"You two, get in your positions!" I yelled. We had decided earlier that we would make a circle so that we could see in all directions when we were face to face with a monster.
Suddenly Ev let out a gasp. Both Bobby and I turned to see the biggest monster ever. He was around 9 foot tall and simply looked like a giant iceberg. I couldn't believe how easy this was going to be. We had me, who could control fire and could easily melt it. We had Bobby who could, surprise surprise control ice. Then we had Evelyn who… well we had Bobby and me. Ev seemed to have registered this thought as well because she was smiling to herself. "It doesn't have a chance." She murmured through her smiles.
I screamed and ran towards the monster, hitting it with a huge ball of fire while I did so. Bobby had made some massive icicles and was throwing them at the monster as well, and Ev was doing the best she could with her power. But nothing seemed to be working on it. Suddenly Ev yelled from behind me, "It's not ice, its glass!" This was going to be tricky. I didn't pay much attention in the science lessons I had attended, but it wasn't as if anyone had ever said, "The way to destroy glass is…" All that I could think was to break it into pieces.
I dropped my bag to the floor and as Bobby fought the monster single-handedly I rifled through to try and find my scythe. Although it wasn't that hard to find as it was already poking out of my bag when I started. I raised it as high as I could and took a swing. The monster was taken aback but didn't seem to care that it had just been hit. It began lunging towards Bobby while I tried to stop it by hitting it some more. But my tries didn't help.
Bobby was dragged kicking and screaming into the icy water where he began to sink quickly. I screamed to him to stay above the water but it wasn't working so I dived in.
The water was so thick that it felt like treacle but I could see clearly through it. I heard a crash next to me and turned to see that Ev had dived in too. It felt like looking for a needle in a haystack and both me and Ev had to keep resurfacing for air. Soon it became obvious that Bobby probably wouldn't be found. But I wasn't about to give up. I took one last dive deeper than I had dived so far. I felt like my lungs were bursting but I still dived deeper.
Suddenly I saw him. He was caught in what I could only say was seaweed. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open slightly, letting in a lot of water. I grabbed him as soon as I saw him and began to pull him to the surface, for myself as much as for him. It wasn't going too well as we were heavy because I hadn't dropped the scythe before entering the cold water.
As we reached the surface I gasped in the air, at that point, beautiful pure air. It took several attempts for me and Ev to drag Bobby up onto the ice again. But finally we did, and laid him out on the ice.
I watched for the tell tale signs of breathing, there were none, and then propped my head against his chest to see if I could hear a heartbeat. His chest was colder then usual… was that a good sign?
I could hear it, faint but there.
"His hearts beating…" I told Ev, then listened closer, "Its doing the bass line from we will rock you, but its there."
"Whoops!" Ev said, stopping tapping her foot in anxiety…
"Suddenly it's stopped!" I screamed, "Ev quick start tapping your foot again."
She gave me the look Mel normally does… as though I'm not the genius I am, more like something with an I.Q. on par with a garden tool. "Kat… oh just shut up and mourn you boyfriend…" she wandered off and sat in amongst a snowdrift which did look comfy on second thought… I got up to go sit, but then I spotted bobby on the floor.
"Oh Bobby, the professor was right! People are going to get killed if they're around me too long!" I buried my head into his cold shirt.
"And Wolverine was right! I am a stupid girl with the weirdest choice of clothes in the universe! And Ash was right! I should never put a fork in the toaster or a hamster in the blender!"
Half an hour later…
"…And Beast was right! I should never wear flip flops with an evening gown…"
An hour later….
"And Mel was right! About… Everything really!" I cried ending my tirade for the moment… trying to think of someone else who was right…
"Did I mention, the professor was right?" I asked Ev, who had made herself a little fire and was roasting a glove over it. She nodded as though I was boring her.
"Will you please shut up!!!" came an alien voice from Bobby's throat.
I jumped back a little; dead people weren't supposed to talk… or were they?
"Oh Bobby." I cried leaping forward onto him as he sat up. Dead people don't sit up do they? "Oh it's like beauty and the beast! My love has saved you!!!"
"No your voice has annoyed me! I can't stand listening to you anymore!" the alien voice said, Bobby's mouth wasn't even moving, neat trick- I'll have to try that one day.
"Ok whatever, but you're alive! Give me a hug!" I leapt forward again.
This caused a curious reaction, he scrambled around on the ice looking like he was trying to find something… then he grabbed hold of my scythe, which had fallen out of my backpack and decapitated himself in one fluid movement.
I just stood amazed, then burst out crying "Oh no, Bobby! You've accidentally cut your head off with my scythe! Oh the fates are conspiring against our love!" I wept banging my head into the snow.
"Um, Kat!" Ev said pointedly behind me.
"Shut up, Ev. When your non existent boyfriend cuts his own head off, we'll pay you attention." I wept, "Do you think if I glued it back on he'd be the same?"
"What?" a familiar voice said behind me. Could heads which have been separated from their body talk still, cause Mel had told me they couldn't… and I so wanted to prove her wrong.
"Bobby?" I asked looking down at the head in my lap… which had suddenly transformed into two long metallic heads with tiny eyes. "Oh Bobby I never realised how handsome you are."
"Kat… I'm up here." Bobby's voice said again… and the heads mouths didn't move.
"I've seen you do that trick; I know that you aren't really behind me."
"Kat, whatever the hell that is it's not me; it knocked me out about half a mile ago and hid me under a snow drift…"
"Which snowdrift?" I asked.
"The one shaped like a big pile of snow." Bobby said matter-of-factly. "So when I came to I followed the sound of your beautiful singing and it lead me straight here."
Finally I turned around, and it was true, he did look like Bobby- but there was only one way to find out if it was the real thing…
"Who's God?" I asked watching his eyes.
"… Gloria Gaynor… who else?" he said. A buzzer went off inside my head… we have a winner.
"Bobby!!" I screamed throwing myself again at the boy letting the heads on my lap fall off and roll into the water. "Don't ever get distracted, wander off, get hit over the back of the head and lay underneath a snowdrift while your look-alike falls underwater and kills himself again ok!"
He looked confused but managed… "OK?"
"I think we should camp here!" I said in my best leader voice.
"Well the map says we should camp here too and wait for the others."
"Ohhh goody waiting." I sat on the newly discovered grass. We'd come out of all the grass about ten minutes ago and I wanted to sit down. "How long do we wait…?"
"Depends on how fast the others walk. Ash had the longest path; Mel could be here in a day… probably longer for Ash…"
"Board now!" I announced and lowered my head onto a rock. I was asleep within seconds.
