Chpt 15:
The comfortable breeze still blew as the group sat in an unorganized circle on the big blanket eating the food, taking full advantage of the shade cast by the large willow. Though the picnic could have been far more enjoyable if the screams, shouts, and the boisterous drone of chatter and barking weren't present, they still made the best of being in each other's company. Most of the dogs had fallen asleep with the exception of Yoyo who was on Dallet's lap helping him eat his bologna sandwich.
Yoyo took the whole sandwich out of Dallet's hand and devoured it, "Yoyo! You weren't supposed to eat all of it!" Yoyo's tail was wagging as he finished it off leaving Dallet to sigh in despair over his lost meal.
The group laughed.
Gatti was sitting beside Viole, who had been sleeping since before they had started to eat, and decided he might be hungry so he shook him, "Hey! Viole get up. You're missing the food."
Viole groaned and lazily sat up with Obsidian sitting up as well, "Oh, thanks for waking me up, I'm hungry!"
Gatti smiled and handed him a plateful of food, "I thought as much, here, and watch out for the dogs, drop something and they're all over it like maggots on a rotting carcass."
Viole frowned, "Thanks for that…. lovely analogy Gatti…"
Gatti grinned and slapped Viole on the back causing Viole's eyes to bulge, "Any time!"
The girls happily chatted amongst the five of them. Loreli laughed, "I can't believe he managed to hit you with that ball!"
Sonson took a huge bite out of her hotdog, "Yea, I mean, I think he should try out for a team, I mean with that kinda aim."
They laughed.
Eiji was on her knees examining the big mark on the side of Satori's head, "Wow, looks like it stings. Does it hurt?" She was about to poke it but Kira slapped her hand away.
Satori rolled her eyes and took another bite out of her sub, "No, not bad, it just stings when people try to touch it!" Eiji smiled sheepishly when she realized Satori was glaring at her.
Kira sighed, "I tried to tell you that a ball was coming right for your head, but you know…"
Satori scoffed, "OH YEAH! Laughing is such a warning let me tell you!"
They carried on their conversation as the boys too were carrying on a conversation of their own.
Migel was getting a soda out of a nearby cooler, "So, what do you guys think we should do tomorrow. It is the last day of our holiday."
Chesta was sitting Indian style with his hand to his chin in thought, "I'm not sure… Maybe we could all sleep over at someone's house tonight?"
Gatti folded his arms and closed his eyes, "Yeah, that sounds good…but somewhere close to here! We could come back here during the night."
Immediately everyone looked at Migel, who in turn huffed and scowled, "What?!"
Guimel smiled, "Well you are closest. How about it?"
Dallet grinned, "Yeah Migel, why not. I would do it I mean think about it. All of your guy friends, and not to mention 5 sexy ladies all sleeping at your house!"
Migel smirked and scratched his head, "Why the hell not! Ok, but you guys have to see if you're allowed to. My parents are in the Bahamas so you're allowed automatically."
They all laughed. Chesta stopped and looked at Dilandau who seemed to be in deep thought. Chesta nudged him, "Something wrong?"
Dilandau woke from his trance and glared at Chesta, "Uh…no."
Chesta shook his head, "Lying? That's not good enough. You haven't been yourself lately, what's up?"
Dilandau stared at him hard and then sighed, "Been thinking about shit is all."
Chesta tilted his head to the side in question, "Thinking about what?"
Dilandau grumbled, "Thinking about how to get you to shut the fuck up!"
"And besides that?"
Dilandau sweat dropped and looked away, "A dream…. (grumble)…"
Chesta was interested now, "What dream?"
Dilandau looked sullen, "A bad one… that's all you need to know."
Chesta shrugged, "Alright."
Dilandau noticed that the guys were listening to his conversation with Chesta. He growled, "Mind your own damn business you nosey twits!"
They all smiled nervously and apologized.
Kira stood up along with the rest of the girls, "Alright! Let's go play! Coming guys?"
The girls all laughed and ran towards the playground. The guys got the idea and followed after them.
Chesta had decided to keep watch on the dogs, so he was still sitting at the big blanket watching as his friends stampeded over to the playground equipment.
Eiji and Loreli laughed gleefully as they hopped on the swings while Kira, Satori, and Sonson leaped onto the merry go round with Dallet and Migel hopping on after them with. Gatti was pushing them and then hopped on after gaining a good amount of momentum.
They all laughed as it spun around at sickening speeds, speaking of sickening, Kira looked rather queasy.
Guimel and Viole had climbed on top of the monkey bars and laid down to enjoy the sun. Dilandau meanwhile was craving ice cream and headed over to the snack stand.
He sighed and rang the attention bell. In 3 seconds a girl he recognized from school appeared in the window, "Hello may I help you?" She had light purple eyes and short blue hair. She was on the school's swim team due to the small dolphin shaped necklace all of the school's swimmers wore.
Dilandau looked over the flavor list until he had made up his mind, "Two scoops of black cherry."
She nodded and disappeared to go get his order. He turned around and leaned on the wall, scanning the park and what his idiotic childish friends were doing.
The merry go round had come to a stop and its riders were all laughing or trying to keep down their lunch.
Migel grinned, "Wow that was fun, haven't been on one of these things in forever."
Gatti shook his head, "I remember how sick I used to get on these things." With that comment everyone distanced themselves from him. Gatti noticed and laughed, "Just kidding guys!"
Kira and Sonson jumped off, "Yeah, well too much spinning does make me sick, I think I'm done…" Kira headed for the climbing structure where a few kids were. They fled at the sight of the older girl. Kira snickered to herself and jumped up onto it. Sonson ran over and climbed it with her. What Kira was really doing was spying on Chesta from her high vantage point, of course no one noticed. He lay so peacefully on the blanket with the speckles of light shimmering down on him through the gaps in the tree's leaves and branches. The light breeze had blown some light golden locks into his face and she couldn't help but blush. He could have easily been an angel sent from heaven.
Satori also jumped off but headed for the secluded tire swing. Most of the children were afraid of the older kids so they avoided them. Satori found it amusing when a kid ahead of her who was also heading for the tire swing, noticed her coming and backed off with a disappointed look on his face. Satori smiled and hopped on it (Ah the power of age) she mused.
Migel, Dallet, and Gatti were all hanging out on the merry go round still when three little girls and two boys walked up to them. Their leader was a little girl wearing a jean jumper and a purple long sleeved shirt under it. She had a little white kitten mewing on her left shoulder with a bright blue-belled collar around its neck. She had fairly tan skin and her wavy black hair was up in two glossy pigtails. She had a sour look on her face and she put her hands on her hips, she looked to be about 9 maybe, and one with an attitude at that.
She walked up to the merry go round with her crew following her, and glared at the boys with her bright blue eyes, "Hey! We want on!" she said as more of a demand than a statement.
Gatti, Dallet, and Migel looked at the little girl, "Uh, sorry kid, we're on it."
Dallet sniggered, "Guess you're out of luck tots."
One of the kids stepped forward. It was a brown-haired boy with overalls on and a striped shirt of red and white underneath, "Momo, maybe we should just wait till they leave?" He looked unsure and a bit afraid of the older kids.
The girl identified as Momo scoffed and stared at the three confidently, "HAH! Just because they're bigger than us Tommy doesn't mean anything. We want on now! Get off!"
Migel raised an eyebrow, and frowned, his tone becoming more threatening, "Well aren't you a feisty kid. Sorry but we're not moving."
Momo growled and stepped up to one of the bars wrapping her dainty hand around it firmly, "Have it your way!" She motioned for her friends to help and before the guys knew it the little kids had them spinning at break neck speeds.
Migel clutched onto a bar so he wouldn't fall off, "Holy Christ!"
Dallet was sitting and trying not to slide off, "I think I'm gonna be sick!"
Gatti gurgled and looked a bit pale as he grabbed the nearest bar for dear life, "Guys, I don't feel too good…"
Momo watched proudly as her plan was working marvelously. She just hoped one of her friends didn't fall and make her look bad.
After a few more spins, Gatti had had enough and jumped off followed by Migel and Dallet. They stumbled around a bit as they made their way towards a bench close by. They collapsed onto it groaning and holding their stomachs and trying to make their surroundings stop gyrating.
Gatti was holding his stomach, "Damn, I feel shitty…"
Dallet was trying to get everything to stop spinning by rubbing his eyes, "We just got served by kids."
Migel sighed, "Man, I hope if I ever have kids they don't turn out like that."
Dilandau appeared behind them licking his ice cream. He narrowed his eyes and gave them disappointed looks, "Wow, and here I thought I had seen it all. Until three 17 year old guys got owned by a few little whelps."
They looked back at him, "Hey! We were outnumbered three to five!"
Gatti sweat dropped, "They were evil brats!"
Dilandau shook his head, "You guys are pussies, I can't believe you."
Migel pouted, "We did our best…"
Dilandau groaned and headed for another bench under a tree away from Migel, Dallet, and Gatti. After watching the whole incident he kind of felt ashamed to be seen with them. I mean who would want to be seen with a group of juniors who just got served up by little children half their size, age, and intellect…….ok…..maybe not intellect but you get the point.
Kira too had watched the incident and all she could do was shake her head in shame, "How pathetic…"
Sonson was dying of laughter on the bar just across from her and almost fell off.
Loreli and Eiji also had watched Migel, Dallet, and Gatti get kicked off the merry go round.
Eiji rolled her eyes, "Will they ever grow up?"
Loreli shook her head slightly, "I'm suddenly reminded of Peter Pan. Our friends are the pirates and those kids are the lost boys, or in this case, lost boys and girls who just beat the pirates once again…"
Eiji giggled, "So which one is captain hook and when does the crocodile come and try to eat him."
Loreli laughed, "Hmm, good question."
They began trying to figure out which characters would be who.
Momo laughed evilly as she and her friends spun, "We're rulers of the playground!" Her friends cheered.
The laughter was interrupted by a loud growl coming from Momo's stomach, "Uh oh, my tummy is hungry but I don't have any money. Maybe I could dupe someone into giving me food, after all I did succeed in making those older kids hand over the merry go round."
She looked around for an unsuspecting victim who could appear swayable. Her scheming eyes just so happened to land on Dilandau who so casually licked his premium, tasty, scrumptious ice cream. Momo couldn't help but lick her lips as her mouth began to water, "Ice cream! And since my reign of power has doubled, he should undoubtedly give into my will! Just like the other ones have…." She smiled devilishly and hopped off the spinning merry go round, skipping towards Dilandau. One of her friends shouted, "Hey Momo where are you going!"
Momo stopped and waved back, "I'm going to go make a big kid to give me some ice cream!"
"Ok!"
She giggled and continued skipping over to where Dilandau was seated on the bench.
Dilandau groaned as he spotted a little girl from the merry go round coming his way, (What the fuck does she want. Why oh why are little kids so damn annoying…) He sighed deeply and continued licking away. Maybe if he ignored her she'd go away.
Momo put on the most angelic face she could as she stopped in front of Dilandau, teeter totting back and forth on her feet innocently, "Excuse me mister." She batted her eyelashes.
Dilandau cast her an annoyed glance and then returned to staring at the space in front of him, "What?" he snapped.
She inwardly frowned, but smiled despite her irritation as her cat mewed, "I'm terribly hungry, can I please have your ice cream cone? I haven't eaten since a day ago and I think I might die if I don't eat something this second. So please sir, I ask you to give me your ice cream cone."
Dilandau scoffed sarcastically, "No, get lost."
Momo's eyes widened a bit in annoyance but she didn't give up, "Pleeeeeease?" Why wasn't he giving in?
Dilandau narrowed his eyes and in a snobbish voice retorted, "What are you? Deaf? I said get lost kid."
Momo growled and her eyes flared, "I said give me your ice cream!"
Dilandau glared at her, "Leave me alone! You're lucky you're a kid or you'd be kissing dirt right now!"
She was stunned at his harshness, but she shook herself out of shock. She growled and was about to storm back over to the merry go round in hopes of getting some sympathy from her cronies, when her kitten jumped off of her shoulder in fright from Dilandau's yelling, and ran up into the tree shading the bench, "Ichigo! Come back!" She ran after the cat. She mumbled unhappily as she stood at its trunk and watched as her cat climbed up higher and higher and situated itself in a high branch's nook against the trunk. She looked around helplessly to find some way to get it down but she found nothing. A whine escaped her mouth and she started climbing up the tree towards the branch where Ichigo was on, "Ichigo come here!" She cried out, she felt anxiety and hurt well in her causing her eyes to water.
She was a good height up the tree when she yelped, "Ahh!" A broken branch sticking out had caught onto her white tights and ripped them as she tried to climb higher. She looked back down while clutching the tree tightly and tried to disconnect herself from the branch. She tried shaking free from it and it worked, but it also caused one of her little black shoes to slip off of her foot and fall to the ground. She gulped and continued climbing higher. Some other branches sticking out were snagging onto her hair and jumper, making the climb even more arduous. She whimpered as she lost her grip momentarily and slid down a few centimeters. She felt tears welling in her eyes from the pain of her palms that were now cut open from her slight fall.
Dilandau glanced back and watched her try to climb up as high as the cat was, "Stupid child." He rolled his eyes and continued ignoring her whines and cries of pain, as well as the random scraping of bark or the snap of a twig.
Momo called out again as she pushed a branch in her way aside, "Ichigo! Come back!"
She had finally made it to as high as her cat was. She rested momentarily on a branch she thought to be sturdy and blew on her throbbing hands, "Stupid cat! I hope you know I'm not giving you any food for this! Mommy's going to be mad at me because I ripped my tights!"
She grumbled and leaned against the trunk. All she had to do now was pull herself up to the branch where Ichigo was on, which was the branch right above her. She whimpered again as she looked down and gulped. She had never been so high up in a tree before and she knew she was shaking; she could hear the green leaves trembling. She bit her lip and tore her stare away from the faraway ground. Looking at the branch above her with determination, she steadily pulled herself to the same branch Ichigo was on. She wailed frightened as she felt the branch sway with the wind and she instantly dropped to all fours and clutched the branch. She cracked open one eye when she felt the flimsy branch stop quivering and rose up on to her knees again and began to crawl towards the cat, "Come here girl!" She said nervously.
She shakily outstretched her hand, but unfortunately the wind had picked up again and she had lost her balance and started to fall, "AHHHHHHHH!"
She began crying as she continued falling fast with gravity pulling her quicker to the ground. Passing branches scratched her face and further ripped at her clothes and hair. She screamed even louder as she watched with tear-blurred vision as the ground got even closer.
Dilandau's ruby eyes widened as he abandoned his ice cream cone to the ground and leaped off the bench.
