Coyote Ugly
Hi ya fans. Whoa, that last chapter took a while. I do believe that it was well worth it. I hope some of your questions were answered in Mona and Draco's date. I know some people commented on how I have to write these in the dead of night. My parents are great and all, but they wouldn't understand on how much I love to write. Writing fanfics is a fun way for me to express myself and have some fun. When my Dad killed the computer, I was so depressed because I couldn't read fanfics. Although some parts in my fanfic are well… not so innocent (Clue's make-out scene) and my parents wouldn't accept it. I wish they did though… Anyway, I typing and watching the movie I Want to Marry Ryan Banks. A reviewer was watching it while they gave me a review so thanks to that reviewer and all reviewers whether you liked it or not. Oh, and some one mentioned that Draco has gray eyes. Honestly, if you read around, Draco doesn't have a set eye color. People always change it, but they're usually blue or gray. For now, they're blue. Wow. This is my longest starting paragraph I've ever written. So let's stop this and get on with the story.
Disclaimer- I don't own anything in this story. The plot is mine, but that's about it. There, are you happy? Then again, I never get bugged about a disclaimer so you must not really care. Oh well. I don't want to go to jail.
Chapter 7 Roaming the Town
Mona's dreams that night were far more intense. She found herself dreaming of a gorgeous wedding, but there was something different about it. Normally, Victor would be there, but now there was someone else. Right when she was about to see his face, the scene changed. She was in a hospital giving birth a little girl. As the baby was placed in her arms, the man came and sat next to her. He kissed her forehead and smiled down at the baby. Once again, she tried to look into his eyes. All she saw was a beautiful pair of blue eyes before he vanished, and she awoke in a sweat. Her head was throbbing and she felt sick. Mona looked at the clock and saw that Draco would be at her house in an hour. She threw off her covers and quickly started to get ready. This time, she knew what to wear. Mona grabbed a turquoise shirt that hung onto her shoulders. Then she put on a light blue pair of jeans that had a rhinestone belt.
Draco walked up and rang Mona's doorbell at exactly eleven 'o clock with Pongo at his side. Mona opened the door.
"Hi. Um, you can come in for a second. I still have to finish a few things. Oh, you brought your dog. Sounds good. Perdy has been acting very strange lately. She needs more social life." Said Mona as she beckoned Draco in.
"Yeah, Pongo wouldn't let me leave unless I took him with me so I thought they could just stay here together while we're out." Said Draco as he walked into the living room. He stood there for a minute studying the room. It didn't look half bad. He could call it livable if he wanted to.
"Okay, I'm ready. Sorry about the wait. I woke up a little shaken so it took me a second to get out of bed. So, let's go. There's a lot of city and not enough day light." Said Mona as she walked out of the house. Draco let Pongo go and joined her outside. Mona locked the door and they started down the street.
"Where are we going today, tour guide?" he asked. She laughed a little.
"Well, how does food sound to you? I didn't eat anything and we definitely need to beat the rush." She answered.
"Great. I'm starving."
"Hello Starving. I was supposed to take a Malfoy out, but I guess you'll have to do. Hang on… did you bring tennis shoes by any chance?" She asked eyeing his feet.
"Yeah why?"
"Because you're going to have to run now. We can catch that bus up ahead. C'mon!" yelled Mona as she dashed toward the bus stop. Draco followed though he looked completely confused. They made it just in time. The bus was very crowded so they had to stand.
"Why are we taking the bus? We can just apperate to wherever we're going to." He whispered to her.
"Because you don't have any idea how to get around Chicago, and this way is more fun. Oh watch out!" she said as they hit a bump. Everyone standing jumped a little and several people fell. Mona laughed a little.
"You are crazy. How can falling on a bus be funny? It hurts. That girl over there tripped me so I would fall on her. Then she slipped me here number. I'm disgusted." Said Draco looking shaken.
"Oh for God's sake, have a little fun for a while. You're such a stiff. You're idea of fun is a huge business meeting with everyone just mumbling to themselves about stuff that no one cares about." They got off the bus in front of a building that looked like a jungle. There was a giant frog sitting on top of a sign that read "The Rain Forest Café." Draco stared at it for a minute before asking Mona about it.
"What is this place? I thought we we're going to eat. That pizza palace was pretty good. Why not go there instead of this freaky place?" asked Draco.
"Trust me. You'll definitely like this place. It's a restaurant with a twist. The inside is awesome! Just give it a chance. Ever hear of not judging a book by its cover?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, this is one of those times when it matters." She said as she pulled him in. Draco was greatly surprised. The room looked like the Parish house form the movie Jumanji after the plants took over. On his left was a small waterfall with alligators in it.
"Why are there alligators here?" he asked looking worried.
"They're not real smart one. There're mechanical." She said as she led him up to the check in place. In front of him were a bunch of large aquariums with all types of different fish it. On his right was a shop with millions of cool and strange things to buy. Mona turned back to him.
"We have to wait for about fifteen minutes so let's look around." She said. They began to walk around the shop. There were games and t-shirts on display. Mona snuck up behind him and draped a rubber snake around his neck.
"What the… heck," said Drano as he looked at some little kids running around the shop, "is this?" he asked Mona who was giggling.
"Oh relax. It's fake. I think,…" she said smiling. Draco noticed a small thing of rubber insects. He grabbed one and tossed it at Mona.
"Is this one fake?" he asked. Mona jumped a little, but smiled all the same. They walked over to a wall with piles of stuffed animals out. Draco looked at a tree who had eyes, ears, and a mouth with a sign that said 'Hi! I'm Tracy Tree' on it. Suddenly, music played and the tree began to talk.
"Oh my God!" said Draco as he practically jumped on Mona. She laughed so hard. He blushed a little. "Stupid tree. Whose idea was it for a talking tree anyway? They should warn you before they do stuff like make a tree talk to unsuspecting people. I could've died of a heart attack." He said.
"Most people aren't scared of a tree. Besides, who would go to your funeral?" she asked smirking.
"I resent that remark." He said as he followed her to the clothes section. He noticed a thong with leopard prints on them. "Here Mona. A gift from me to you." He said as he threw them at her. She blushed and giggled.
"No this is for you." She said as she picked up a bikini and threw that at him. Draco picked it up and held it against his body. He struck and pose, which made Mona almost die of laughter.
"Not my style. I prefer bikinis in hot pink rather than leopard ones. Thanks anyway." He said as he set it down. The waitress called their names, and they headed upstairs for their table. The upstairs was so cool. There were mechanical animals all around the room. The jungle thing was still there. Aquariums went through the middle of the room. One part of the ceiling looked similar to the night sky just like Hogwarts. They sat down, ordered, and waited.
"So where did you find this place?" he asked.
"The coyotes brought me here on my first Christmas. It's been kind of like tradition to come here on Christmas Eve. By the way, how did you like last night?" she asked smirking.
"I can't believe you made me do that. How did I know the words? I've only heard that song like once."
"It's a simple charm I used. So bar dancing isn't that bad, is it?"
"Different, but not that bad. Where else are we going today? You're the tour guide. I'm just the sucker following."
"You put me up to this. We're going to Navy Pier, the Sears Tower, and walking down the streets of Chicago. By the time we do al of that, I would have to get back home. I still have to work." She said just as their food arrived. Mona ordered a sandwich and Draco ordered a steak. Then all of the sudden, the room went dark. There were several large crashes and the animals began to wail and screech. The lights flashed as the monkeys yelped and the elephants roared.
"Wow. What is all of this? It's weirder than the tree."
"It's a storm. You know, it's a rain forest so it rains a lot. It scared me half to death the first time, but the tree didn't like it does some people…" she said grinning at him.
"Not funny Mona." They finished eating and headed out, but not before Draco tried to hex Tracy Tree. Mona was finally able to pull him away.
"Alright, next we're taking the subway to Navy Pier. Watch closely. There will be a test later." She said smirking at him. After watching him smirk so much, Mona didn't care anymore and had fun smirking. It was contagious.
"Should I take notes?" asked Draco jokingly.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny." She said. They boarded the subway and took off. When they arrived, Draco was very impressed. Navy Pier was right off of the beautiful Lake Michigan. The Ferris wheel and other attractions made it look different from all the rest of Chicago. "Like it?" asked Mona.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool, for a muggle place." He answered. Mona scowled as they walked inside. It was like a giant green house with fountains that shot water over your head as you passed. There were small shops with jewelry and cheep souvenirs. "What is all of this?" he asked.
"Well, over there is the Children's Museum and farther down is the IMEX Theater. People from all around perform on that stage right there, and that's the eating-place. C'mon, there's more stuff to do outside." She said as led Draco outside again. The path was like a boat dock. Along it were several boats that looked like mini ocean liners. On the other side was a Ferris wheel and a carousel.
"Why are all of these boats here?" asked Draco staring at one called The Sprit of Chicago.
"Their mini ships that take you around the harbor. Some like, The Sprit of Chicago, host parties. You get food and there's a dance floor and live DJ. It's so much fun." Said Mona. "But we're not going on a cruise. You haven't seen Chicago until you've seen it from the top of the Ferris wheel." She said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him in the opposite direction. They boarded and the Ferris wheel took them up. Draco looked over and saw the huge city lying before him. It looked so peaceful.
"So, enjoying your tour?" Mona asked.
"Not bad. I guess there's more to this city than meets the eye. What else are we doing here?"
"Those buildings at the end of the pier some times hold special exhibits. We can see what there is in there. Out of everything though, this is my favorite." She said smiling.
"Why?" asked Draco.
"Because this is probably the calmest place in the city. There's no traffic or pollution or problems. It kind of reminds me of Hogwarts."
"Yeah, Hogwarts almost never had too many problems. Maybe the most innocent place in the world." He said as the ride stopped and they got off. They walked toward the buildings and went inside. There were tables set up all around with giant statue cows.
"Oh I love these things. A few years ago, Chicago had an art exhibit. People decorated statue cows and the city put them on the street. There were tons of them. It was so cool." Explained Mona.
"Interesting…" said Draco looking around. They began to walk through. Some cows fitted a company name like Star Bucks Coffee did a cowffee cow, and Lasalle Bank did a cowculator cow. Other artists painted beautiful designs on the cows. By the end of the exhibit, Draco was very impressed. "Where to next?" he asked as they walked off of Navy Pier.
"I have to go to work in about a hour and a half so there's one last stop that you can't miss. The Sears Tower!" said Mona as she called to a taxi. They road in silence both staring at the streets and sights of Chicago. When the cab stopped, Mona and Draco got out and headed inside.
"So what's so special about this tower? Isn't it just another skyscraper?" asked Draco. Mona laughed.
"Of course not! It's the tallest tower in Chicago and one of the tallest in Chicago. It's 5:30 so that means it's almost sunset. Trust me, the city looks awesome at sunset." Said Mona as they walked into the elevator. The ride up seemed to go on and on. It never seemed to stop, but it finally did. The doors opened and the city of Chicago lay before Mona and Draco glowing in the setting sun. They walked to the nearest window and looked out.
"Wow. It's beautiful." Said Draco as he stood behind Mona. She just smiled and turned to face him, but never got a chance to say anything. Draco captured her lips in a kiss. Mona was shocked at first, but soon found herself kissing back. 'God, he's a good kisser!' she thought as she let out a soft moan. His tongue ran over her bottom lip and she opened her mouth. An explosion set off in Mona's mouth as the two tongues danced together. For once in four years, Mona felt loved by another man. They finally pulled away breathing hard. The sun had set and the cities lights were coming on.
"I suppose we should get going. It's almost six." She whispered.
"Yeah…" he whispered back. They broke apart and began to walk down. The walk was silent. Both of them were thinking about the kiss. It had felt so right. Heaven came down to Earth for one minute that day. They chose to walk back to Mona's house. Draco still had to take Pongo home. Mona unlocked the door and stepped in. She found Pongo and Perdy asleep on the couch. When they heared the door open, they picked up their heads and got off the couch.
"Hello to you too." Said Mona as Perdy came up to her and licked her hand.
"Well, I should probably get going. Thanks for everything Mona. I really appreciate it." Said Draco as he leashed up Pongo.
"Me too." She answered.
"Look, I know you'll be busy with Weasley, but an I see you again?" he asked rather quickly. Mona thought for a minute.
"Yeah, there's a good chance that we can go out again. I don't know when, but some time this week or next." She said. Mona walked Draco back onto her porch.
"Good night." He whispered.
"Good night." She whispered back. They began to lean in closer and closer until Draco's lips brushed up against Mona's. They kissed sweetly at first, but it soon got passionate. Draco's arms began to wrap around Mona's waist as her hand found their way around his neck. This time, Mona opened up at once as she explored Draco's mouth. It tasted so sweet yet spicy at the same time. Just then, the phone rang breaking them apart.
"I should probably go answer that." She said.
"Don't worry. I'll call you." He said as he unwrapped himself from her.
"Okay. Night." She said as she walked back inside and closed the door with a huge grin on her face. She picked up the phone and heard four people yell "hello" into the phone. It was all of the coyotes at a pay phone.
"Hey Mone! How did it go?" asked Megan.
"Where did you go?" asked Chelsea.
"Did you sleep with him?" asked Taylor. There was a groan from the other coyotes and a sheepish "sorry" form Taylor.
"I'll tell you guys everything at the bar tonight, but just to let you know, you interrupted something very important. Bye!" She hung up the phone without another word. After redressing and doing her hair and make-up, she headed for Coyote Ugly. The coyotes were already out there waiting for her.
'This is going to be a long night…' she thought as she smirked and went to join them.
A/N: Well there you have it. I really liked this chapter, but it really matters if you do. Those places in Chicago are real. I don't know if they ever had that cow thing, but I loved the cow parade so I snuck them in… So thanks for reading and a shout out to NewSecretRose who updated her story Survivor: Harry Potter Style. It's definitely worth the time to read, and I'm still waiting for super sycoh to update, which I hope she will soon. That's all here. Thanks again!
Lots of Love,
RonFan
