Chapter 16- Confessions

Beastfire: Here it is…the final chappie of "Invasion of the Mary Sues"! I found out what I got on my history regents recently…a 97! I feel like a genius!

Ivy: But you usually look like a dork.

Beastfire: You'll be thanking this dork later, Ivy.

Ygrene: You mean you won't torture her in this chapter?

(Frus' POV)

"And the clones were created to control our minds and make us loyal to Bloodstone and Mandarin, then they would kill all of you to take your places," Gibson explains.

As Gibson goes on and on about it, I nearly fall asleep on my feet. Nobody else is paying much attention either, except maybe Senya and Malachite. Jet and Otto are off somewhere making out. Ichigo and Antauri are doing the same, as are Jinmay and Chiro. Nova, Sprx, and Lugh are arguing with Nova saying that she's Lugh's girlfriend, Sprx saying Nova's his girlfriend, and Lugh is saying that he loves Ivy. Speaking of her, she's over in a corner filing her nails.

When Lugh says that he loves Ivy, I start to become jealous. I walk past Shorty and Booty, who has his laces wrapped around her. That's vaguely disturbing… I'm not watching where it is I'm going and bump into someone. I'm sent to the floor on my tail and look to see who it was.

"Dude," I hear Ivy's voice say.

I can see there's something on her mind. Plus her tail is twitching back and forth.

"So," I start, "you mad that Mandarin and Bloodstone got away?"

"No, they didn't," she smirks. "On the way back, I nailed them with my painkinesis."

"But don't they need to be in the same area as you?"

"Not necessarily. I can visualize my target, and they're in pain. It's really cool."

Impressive…and also a good indication to stay off her bad side. Liam looks at his watch.

"I think I'd better get going," he says before leaving.

Lugh comes over now.

"I think I should leave before Nova comes after me again."

Good. Now my competition's leaving. Yes, I admit, ever since I knew Lugh liked Ivy, I've been jealous! I'm thinking, 'Well, good riddance! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!'. What I say, though, is different.

"Well, I'll see ya later!" is all I say.

Inwardly, I'm grinning widely. Lugh leaves for wherever it is he's going. I hear Ivy breathe a sigh of relief.

"Glad HE'S gone," she says. "The guy called me a ferret! Of course, I had to beat the crap outta him."

Ha! I knew it! She doesn't like Lugh! But I have to wonder…does she like me? We both walk through the Super Robot. I could tell her how I feel, but I don't because I've heard of what she does when she's annoyed at someone. I've seen her angry before…at ME! I could swear I saw my life flash before my eyes…twice!

As we walk, I trip over my own tail. Man, this is embarrassing! Ivy ends up tripping over her own feet at the exact same time. She lands on me. There's silence for a moment or two, then she begins laughing for some reason. Actually, this IS pretty funny. I also start to laugh and we don't even bother getting up. When we finally calm down, Ivy looks me right in the eye. Then I hear the three words I'd been wanting to hear, but I'm not prepared to respond to…

"I love you."

I freeze on the spot.

"Huh?" I ask.

"You heard me. I said I love you."

YES!

"Really?"

"Dude, did I stutter?"

It's true!

"I love you too."

Then it dawns on us. We aren't just really good friends after all! Well, that's when we both stand up. Ivy doesn't allow this to last long, as she pounces, knocks me down, and we begin a kiss of our own.

"What are you two doing?"

It's Malachite's voice, and he does really know, but doesn't think that we know that he knows, y'know? We stop in mid-kiss to see the young monkey watching us intently. He has a wide grin, for he knows what this means. After giving him a "please leave us alone" look (okay, more of a glare) , Malachite leaves and we get back to what we were doing. Life is good!

Beastfire: And that's the final chappie. See, Ivy and Frus? I told ya you'd forgive me. (gets no response) Ivy? Frus? (both are in a corner, still making out)

Ygrene: I think they forgive you.

Beastfire: Let's just leave them alone. Hope y'all enjoyed the chapter and the story! I'll be back with a new one in August, but I'll try to review some of your stories while I'm on vacation in New England! And, Lmann, Lugh did NOT flirt with Ivy, but did say she was his girlfriend in hopes of getting Nova off his back. Thought I'd say that now to prevent any misunderstandings. Okay?
