BorderWolf- I never thought about that pun until you pointed it out.

Now for the story!


Chapter 7: Official

Meanwhile…

I woke the next morning to see dark, cloudy skies. I went into town after securing my animals to see what I was supposed to do. I heard the meeting bell so I went to the town square. Thomas was talking into a microphone.

"Everyone! Get to the Aja Winery cellar! It is the safest place!" He yelled into the mike.

Everyone hurried out of the Square and to the Aja Winery. Fortunately, the Doctor was watching and made sure that I got to the basement along with everyone else. I looked around for my friends. I saw Ann talking with Karen and Elli. But I didn't see Cliff. I hobbled over to the stairs and stood on them to get an overhead view. Still no Cliff. I searched high and low, but I never saw him.

"Where could Cliff be?" I said to myself.

I decided to ask Ann who was still talking with Karen and Elli.

"Hey Ann," I said as I approached her.

"What?" she asked.

"Do you have any idea where Cliff is?" I questioned.

Ann's eyes widened as she put her hand on her mouth.

"Oh, no," Ann replied grimly. "He stayed outside to look for you."

"You're kidding me!" I exclaimed in disbelief.

"No," Ann said. "I'm not."

I took a deep breath and made a drastic decision. I was going to go out and look for him. I climbed the steps, while looking back to make sure nobody noticed and walked over to the door. I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and clinched my fists. I placed my hand on the doorknob and turned it. As soon as I got outside I immediately felt the strong winds blowing my hair. The wind had gotten pretty fierce right around now. I quickly closed the door so the people wouldn't notice winds that were coming in. I was beginning to get a little blown away, so I grabbed the nearest lamppost and held on tight. I held on, looking amongst the winds to see if I could find Cliff. The winds were beginning to grow more and more fierce, yet I still looked around to see if I saw Cliff. Until finally I saw a figure being blown around by the wind. I squinted my eyes to get a better view, and sure enough it was Cliff. He flew around and around until after a short while,

WHAM

I saw him get hit in the head with a table. He was blown around a little more until the winds where he was apparently stopped and he fell into a tree. My eyes widened as I continued to clutch the lamppost tightly. I couldn't go and get Cliff now, the winds were too strong and I still had those dang crutches. So I waited and waited and waited, and finally the winds did indeed die down. It was very late at night, so the villagers were probably asleep by now, so I couldn't get in. I ran to the area around where I saw Cliff fall and found him in one of the trees, draped over a reasonably low branch.

"How am I going to move this guy?" I asked myself.

I took him down and thought, Eh, screw these crutches. I dropped the crutches and wrapped my arms around my waist. I then began to hop home, with frequent rest stops. Let me tell you, it was slow going. Thank goodness that I work on a farm. After a while, I finally got to my house. I pulled my keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door. I hobbled inside and set him down on the bed. I put the covers over him and then pulled up a chair to sit beside him. I put a wet washcloth on the lump on his forehead and sat down. This was going to be a long night. I decided to look around the house a little while he was still asleep. Let me tell you, Grahm didn't leave me much. At least I added some stuff to it. I had added a couple of pictures to the wall as well as a vase of flowers on the table. I also had a few decorations made of china sitting on top of my bookshelf and TV. On my bedside table I had a few doodads and a digital clock, which now read 11:56. I had stuck some flower stickers on my toolbox. There was a huge space on the other side of the room that was saved for a kitchen. I had brought a beanbag chair that was blue with pink flowers on it from my room to make the place seem more like home. I sat around watching him until my head began to droop. I looked over at the clock, it read 2:08. I was getting really drowsy and I couldn't stay awake much longer. I battled with sleep until I finally lost and I dropped into a much needed sleep.


Cliff's POV

When I woke up, I noticed I was in Amy's bed. What am I doing here? I thought. I looked around and a washcloth dropped off of my head. I put it on the bedside table and noticed Amy sleeping in a chair by the bed. She's pretty even when she's asleep. I thought. I got out of the bed, picked her up, and put her in her bed. I put the chair up then noticed a beanbag chair by the bedside table so I flopped down in it to get some rest.


Narrator's POV

Amy woke up first. She looked around and realized she was in her own bed. She got out of bed and looked around. She noticed Cliff asleep on the beanbag and heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, Cliff woke up.

"Oh, you're up." He said.

"We really need to talk." Amy said.

"About what?" Cliff asked as he stood up.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" she inquired.

"Because I was afraid that Kai was going to shoot you again." He said. "Just like last time, he could have been anywhere. What I don't get is why you liked him in the first place."

"Let me tell you the truth." Amy said. "Kai said that if I didn't go out with him, then he would shoot you. So I pretended to be with him for your sake and then all this happened with the gun and you and the hurricane."

"So?" he replied. "All that tells me is that you never liked Kai. What is the point?"

"The point is," she said. "It's that I love you."

He smiled first followed with one from Amy. He then opened into his arms for a hug. They embraced and then walked/hobbled to the door so that they could tell the village that they were all right. They walked over to where the blacksmith was and saw Ann there. She noticed them and ran over.

"I can't believe you guys are alive!" she exclaimed.

"Could someone get me my crutches?" Amy asked.

"Oh, sure!" Ann said then ran off.

A few minutes later Ann came back with Amy's crutches.

"When we saw the crutches, we naturally assumed the worst." Ann said.

"Well we are alive and well." Cliff said.

"Tell me the story." Ann said. "How did you survive?"

Cliff and Amy proceeded to tell the story, filling in for one another if needed.

"So, it's official now," Ann said. "You two are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"What do you think Cliff?" Amy said.

"I guess it is, if that's okay with you." Cliff replied.

"Alright," Amy said. "Cliff and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend."
