Chapter 13
Kid Blink's PoV
"What do we have here? It's my favourite secret couple of the hour!" I laughed at the look on Dutchy's face. Specs just looked confused.
I pointed obviously to the screen and he clued in. "Holy shit, is that us?" he gasped.
I nodded and from beside me Buckles piped up. "In my opinion, it's cute. You guys are so cute!"
Dutchy glared daggers at Buckles and Specs just smiled sheepishly.
"I'm going to have to burn that tape," said Dutchy.
Specs turns to him. "Why?" he asks.
"That can't get around, now can it? I'll get my ass kicked so many times over that I won't know what hit me!" Dutchy gave off the impression that this should have been the first thing anyone in this situation would have considered.
Specs glared at him. "Fine, just burn the Goddamn tape. See if I care. It's not like it meant anything, after all!"
Buckles opened her mouth to interject but I shot her a warning look and she stopped. Specs was looking very angry and Dutchy was looking very distressed. It was obvious he hadn't seen any of this coming.
From across the room Pigeon screamed loudly, breaking the tense aura.
"Hey Mister DJ, put a record on I wanna dance with my baby!" she spun in a circle and nearby Skittery was looking into the dance floor with utter displeasure.
"Hey Skitts! Wanna shave a rug?"
Granny floated by. "Pidge, can't you get anything right? It's 'cut a rug'. Just like you sleep at night."
Pigeon stuck her tongue out and offered her hand to Skittery. Skittery shook his head. "We shouldn't be doing this," he said loudly. "We're going to get in so much trouble."
"Don't be such a wet blanket!" I yelled to him across the room. He glared.
"Pigeon, don't hog Skittery! I want to dance with him!" In a matter of seconds Skittery was surrounded by girls vying for his hand at a dance. I laughed. Skittery was too uptight sometimes. He gave me a pleading look, as if asking me to come and rescue him. I just waved and grinned widely.
I was interrupted in my Miss America-esque waving by Dutchy shouting.
"What the hell am I supposed to do? People can't know about this!!!" It was as though someone had pushed a mute button on everything else. Everyone froze and stared in their direction. The DJ took off his headphones.
"Do about what?" asked David suspiciously from the pool table.
"Oh, Specs kissed Dutchy in the King's Quest!" exclaimed Buckles innocently. It was weird, it was like she was screwing them over but she doesn't even mean to. Sometimes she just doesn't think about how things sound before they come out of her mouth.
Mush looked at me, interested. "And you have this on tape?" he asked.
I nodded.
"This is great blackmail material! Especially if Dutchy wants to burn it!" So I guess Mush had heard the whole conversation, he just didn't want to say anything when no one could hear him.
"Just give Dutchy the tape," said Specs gloomily, "Give him the tape so he can burn the fucking thing." He watched as I retrieved the cassette from the tape player before leaving. Soon after Specs followed him.
"Aw," Mush pouted, "no blackmail."
I smiled mischievously, "They forgot about the backup tape." I pushed 'play' on the second player and the image of Specs and Dutchy kissing replayed. Lord knows Dutchy would kill me if he saw this.
((Yeah! Go backup tapes! Document that kiss! Go tape! Go tape! Go, go, go tape! Uh, that's al I have to say. Reviews!!!))
Shoutouts:
Rubix the cube- Buckles and Blink. The two B's!
Erin Go Bragh- agree.
Written Sparks- my friend Pigeon/SparkS loves Skitts too. Has it got something to do with your names?
Sapphy- I just said that because I have a pair of horse-obsessed friends. One of them (Pinch) hit me in the head for saying stables smelt bad. The other is Arrow. She doesn't hit very much. I like it that way.
Cassies-Grandma- thanks for the explanation. Ha ha ha, Spot, a pimp. I guess your right. I never even noticed.
SparkS- what do you mean, 'awful fast'? It's already chapter 12!
Madison Square- (hugs SpDutchy)
Strawberri Shake- I used the blackmail thing. Hope you don't mind. Isn't Mushy conniving?
Ireland O'Reily- hey, I'd cralw through nasty water like that if it guaranteed me a kiss with Dutchy! Yeah, go Dutchy...except in this chapter. He's a bit of a jerk.
Bobcat:Slashgoil- he is a slut. I've paired him with Mush and with Skittery. It works so well, he's so...flexible. Heh heh, kinky...
Fantasy3- agree
BrooklnGrl- (shiver) ew, Justin. Sorry to all the fans I've insulted out there, but he's creepy.
