TheIviest

"Alley cat," said Squid as magnet and her walked over.

"So, that is what you did to get..." that was as far as Zigzag could get before Magnet shut him up.

"Look," said Magnet as alley cat walked over to the tent. "We have a treaty. If we don't tell or speak about well, you know then she will be calmer. Deal?"

"Well," said X-ray who was scratching his chin "okay. Even if she didn't make that deal we would not tell anyone about that."

"We can tell she is touchy about that," said Arm pit, finishing X-rays sentence.

In the Tent

"Hi Abby," said Dreamer, who had taken accustom to calling her by her name "are you okay?"

"Yaw, im fine, for now," said Alley Cat.

"Did, um... did anything happen out there," asked Dreamer.

"Well, what I tell you is between us, okay?"

"Okay," responded Dreamer.

"Well," alley cat told the whole story.

"WHY DID YOU SAY NO!" screeched Dreamer.

"I...I have had bad relationships that sort of soured it all for me," responded Alley cat "also I wasn't sure what to do. Do you have an idea?"

"Well," said Dreamer "next time Magnet does that TAKE it. Also, what happened that made you soo, boy careful?"

"Well," said Abby as the rest of the tent walked in "I will tell you tonight."

"Tell her what?" asked magnet.

"Nothing important," answered Dreamer.

"Okay," said Magnet who wasn't convinced.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" asked Zigzag.

"Why don't we..." said dreamer

"Play pool!" said Alley cat.

"Good idea," said Armpit.

Then they walked over to their relaxing spot. It was crowded. They had to walk through the crowd. At the pool table some people were finishing up a game. Once it was over Alley cat set up the table.

"Who will play first," said Alley cat as she held up two sticks.

"Me and you will," responded Magnet.

"Okay, well here we goo." Said Zigzag. Dreamer was looking at him with her dreaming eyes.

Well, first it was Alley cats turn. She got two balls in and went again. She got a striped ball in. she kept going until she only had two balls left.

"Alley cat, let me play," said Magnet who didn't get to do one hit yet.

"Okay," said Alley cat as the hit her ball so it would just hit the wall.

"Good," said Magnet who just tricked Alley cat. "First rule of Pool kids, show no sympathy."

Magnet kept hitting the balls into the holes until he won the game.

"Why you," said Alley cat as she started to walk over to him. "You little sneak."

"I am no sneak," lied Magnet.

Ring!!! Went the dinner bell.

"Great," said Armpit "time for Mush.

At that everyone tried to get out. Alley cat, who wasn't very tall, just crawled under everyone.

"Leaning on the door she said as the rest of D tent got out. "took you long enough."

At that magnet chased her all the way to the dinning hall. Alley cat, knowing the floor would be wet mover out of the way of magnet. He went sliding into C tents table and then he got up. He waked over to his seat and sat down.

Alley cat walked in and said "had a fun trip?"

Magnet grabed her. Then he remembered what she had said let go.

"Magnet, I need to talk to you," said Alley cat as she grabbed his arm.

"I am sorry Alley cat, I forgot," said Magnet.

"no, don't be sorry, its just that I was hurt before, and I don't want that to happen again." Said Alley cat as she started to walk away.

"Wait," said Magnet as he grabbed her arm "we will talk tonight. Around nine?"

"Okay, that gives me time to talk to Dreamer and Mole," said Alley cat to herself.

They then walked into the dinning hall. Alley cat ran without falling over to magnets seat and took it. When magnet got there he just lifted her up and walked over to her seat and sat her back down.

With Dreamer and Mole at seven

Alley cat told what happened that day again so that Mole could here it.

"That is nice but why are you so careful around guys?" asked Dreamer.

"Well, I feel I can tell you anything so here I go. Well, two years ago I got in a relationship with a guy. He was very polite and kind, at least then. We started going out. I would go over to his house almost everyday. One day when I went over he was drunk. He gave me this," said Alley cat as she lifted up her sleeve. "The next day I came back over to tell him we were through but he started to plead for me to stay. Of corse I stayed. Then a week later he was very drunk and he started to abuse me. I forgave him again. That kept happening." Alley cat had to stop a second so she could speak again without crying. "Well, my best friend found out about that. He went over and beat up the guy. When I went over he beat me up. After that I broke up with him but I was very angry at him. I was glad my best friend did that though, you see he is like an older brother. Of course that was the night that we had a street fight. I went with my best friend. When we got there we found out that HE was there. He killed my best friend so I killed him. That is why I am afraid to be with Magnet. Not because he would abuse me but because he might die. Also I don't want other people thinking I am easy and can do that to me again" Alley cat finished her story. There was a silence.

"Wow," said Mole.

"I can see why you are worried," said Dreamer.

"But you need to tell magnet anyway. He might be able to help you or else he will wait for you," responded Mole.

"I know you two are right n' all but I am still worried," responded Alley Cat.

Magnet and Alley Cat

"Alley cat," whispered Magnet as he stuck his head in their tent.

"Im here," responded Alley cat as she walked out of the tent.

"good, so... where do you want to go to talk?" asked Magnet.

"we could just walk around," answered Alley cat as they started to walk down to the holes.

"So," said Magnet after a few minutes of silence "why am I mnot good enough for you?"

"Oh, it isn't that! It is just that I had some bad experience with some guys," responded Alley Cat.

"I don't care," said Magnet.

""I do. You don't know how bad it was."

"Then tell Me." said magnet. At that Alley cat told Magnet all that happened two years ago?

"Well, could you at least think about it. i...well think about it. I won't let ANY of that happen." Awnsered magnet.

"I will, I will, I want to. Tell you tomorrow," said Alley cat as she walked over to the girl's tent and went in.

The Next day

"Wake up alley cat," said Dreamer as she shook Alley Cat.

"Im awake," yelled back Alley cat.

"Come on, awe have to dig today. You don't want to miss breakfast do you?" asked Dreamer.

"No," said alley cat as she jumped out of bed "I will be there in one second.

All of a sudden everything was being thrown everywhere as alley cat started to look for her orange jump suit. Once she found it she raced for the dinning room. Once she got in there she grabbed her breakfast and sat down with the rest of D tent.

"Hurry up Alley cat, we are leaving in five minutes," said Zigzag.

"I am hurrying," said Alley cat as she hurried through her meal, she took out her handkerchief and put a piece of cheese in it. "ready." Alley cat got up and walked over to the exit.

Digging n digging

"Here is where you will be digging," said Mr. Sir as he got back into his truck.

"Well," said Alley cat "this doesn't look like fun."

"When is it ever," responder Magnet as he started to dig.

"Your right there," said alley cat as she took her first shovel. Alley cat had a little less that half of her hole done when the lunch truck came.

"Come over you little fuckers," said Mr. sir who was in an awful mood.

"ahh," said X-ray "that is the nicest thing you ever said to us."

"Alley cat, what your answer," whispered Magnet.

"I will tell you later okay?"

"Fine," whispered Magnet back.

Once alley cat got her food she dove into it. She finished it within 5 minutes. She went up to magnet and sat down

"hi," said Alley cat to magnet.

"Hi," responded Magnet who was getting annoyed at Alley cat.

"Um, well...I want to try. That is if you don't break my spirit," said Alley cat. She stood up to go back to her hole. Magnet stood up quickly and grabbed Alley cats arm. He pulled her back and gave her a long kiss.

"What the hell," said X-ray as he and everyone else saw that.

"We are a couple," said Magnet as he let go of Alley cat.

"Yep, we are. That is so long as he doesn't break my heart," said Alley cat.

"I won't," responded Magnet as he grabbed Alley cat again and kissed her.

In the dinning hall

After everyone took their showers and got cleaned up they went into the dinning room. Alley cat, who was before Magnet in line grabbed her food and sat at Magnets place. Magnet picked her up, sat down and put her back down on his lap.

"Comfortable?" asked magnet.

"Very," responded Alley cat.

Magnet, who was very hungry got some food on to his fork and brought it over to his face. Alley cat, who was also hungry ate his food.

"Alley cat!" said Magnet as he looked pitifully at his fork. "that was my food!"

"I know," responded Alley cat.

"Well, if you are going to eat MY food then I will eat yours," said magnet ans he took her fork and grabed some of her food. He brought it over to his face and Alley cat ate it, again.

"Alley cat," said Magnet "if you are going to keep that up you have to move."

"Sorry," said Alley cat and she stopped doing that and ate her food.

How was that? I think it was good. Also thanks Agent Dragon eye. I did forget to add some romance. And don't worry. There will be another couple. Keep reading to hear more.
