Bean a while.
I mispelled Kristy's name. I must mention that before she hurts me again.... Kristy, you can take your high heels off.... (My shins are bruised, mutter mutter)
Chapter six: Sticks and stones

Mr. Ranoan looked up from the Sunday morning edition paper, trying not to laugh. Acting as serious as he could, he couldn't help but chuckle at the front page article. Link and Kat where standing in front of him, both looking down with bright red faces, obviously embaressed, waiting for Mr. Ranoan to say something. Finally he did. "Interesting article. Too bad that the theater burned down." Mr. Ranoan said, and he folded the newspaper in half and put it on the table. "You two run along, don't let it bother you two. You're heroes now, you know that. Everyone will want to talk to you." That was plain simple fact. They had saved a woman and her child. But that wouldn't be the reason they would have so much attention. Both Kat's and Link's faces reddened more then they already had been. Mr. Ranoan laughed but pretended it was a cough. "You kids run along now." And solemly, the two left.
Chuckling, Mr. Ranoan picked up the article and a pair of scissors, carefully trimming around the article and the half page photo of the burning theater with the embracing couple infront of it. The embracing couple, known as Kat and Link.

"Kat! Kat! Kat!" Zelda yelled all the way down the stairs excitedly. Kat and Link both stopped, and looked at Zelda. "Guess what? Aaroniel asked me out!! And oh, why are your faces so red?" Kat glanced at Link.
"Um, never mind. That's great that you and Aaron have told each other your feelings about each other." Kat said, trying to uplift the mood. Zelda excitedly put on her coat and shoes, and flung open the door to go shopping for a new outfit.
Link sighed. "How are we going to go to school tomorrow?" He asked, his mind racing over what was going to happen. "I, I don't know, Link, we can't change what's in the paper. And we can't change the fact that this is a small city and news travels faster then light." Kat tried to answer his question, and finding no comforting reply.
Zelda came running back into the house holding a newspaper. Link and Kat both winced, for they knew what was coming. "What the hell is this? Why didn't you guys tell me? It's all over town!" Link looked for some escape while Kat thought of how to respond to Zelda's demanding questions. "Umm, well, we saved a child and her mother. We weren't thinking straight after inhaling the smoke"
"Most certainly not!" Zelda's temper cooled. "I wonder what's going to happen at school tomorrow. Man, must be embarrasing for you guys." Link shot Zelda a look that said that she wasn't helping. So Zelda decided to leave to follow out with her earlier plans of shopping.
"What are we going to do?"Asked Kat. "I mean, after getting -that- from a close friend, imagine-" Link picked up Kat's hand, automaticly making her stop mid-sentince. "We'll face it. Together. As that human saying goes... "Sticks and stones may break my bones, yet words mean nothing to me""

Well, when Monday came they went to school. Yes, there was teasing, and mocking, and jealousy from the girls who liked the blonde, blue-eyed guy 'Landon', but generaly they were named heroes. Of course, it took weeks to let it all settle in, but sooner or later everything was back to normal.
This trial that tested Kat and Link's friendship did not break the relationship, but made it stronger. A small wish has been planted in both their hearts, and it continues to grow.

Sorry if this chapter was a little short. And really really late. Not to mention, a little stupid. College isn't the best place to write a story. Especially if it's the day you move into a dormatory, and the girls decide to play a trick on the guys.... And suddenly you find your just-neatly-unpacked-and-cleaned room covered in shaving cream. (Gregg thought it was whipped cream and stuffed a handful in his mouth... heh heh.. poor Gregg.)
Gregg: This story is brought to you inpart by: shaving cream. It looks like whipped cream but tastes like metallic rotten fish.
Adios
