Chapter four- A point in existence?
Author's Note- Okay, this is it, what you've all been waiting for… A VERY SHORT CHAPTER! (Dun dun DUN!)
Mac rushed around the house in panic. Where was she? He found Bloo trying to comfort Honey.
"Guys, you've gotta help me," Mac cried.
"Why? What's wrong?" Honey asked.
"She's gone," Mac said. His voice was shaking.
"WHAT!" Bloo screamed.
"Tessa ran away! I've been looking everywhere for her! I've asked all one thousand two hundred seventeen friends here and they don't know where she is!"
"AAH! POOR TESSA! SHE'S OUT THERE ALL ALONE! PROBABLY WITH THOUGHTS OF DEATH!" Honey sobbed. Bloo stared at her.
"Dude, don't ruin it for people haven't caught on to Tessa's plan yet," he said.
"Yeah. Oh, wait, what plan?" Mac asked.
" Something that involved the street, cars whizzing by real fast, and 'good-bye everybody'… you think she's going fishing?" Honey asked.
"I was thinking hitchhiking," Bloo corrected.
"NO! SHE'S COMMITING SUICIDE!" Mac shrieked in terror.
"That was my next guess," Honey said. Bloo just blinked.
"What?" Bloo continued to stare at Mac strangely. "Oh, suicide is like saying, TESSA'S GONNA STEP OFF THE CURB IN FRONT OF A DRUNK DRIVER!"
"Oh, don't be silly, Mac," Honey spoke, "She'd never go that extreme…"
"Wanna bet?" Bloo grinned.
"NO! NO BETTING ON HER LIFE!" Mac sobbed.
"Now, wait, I thought you 'hated' her," Bloo said crossly.
"No! I-I like her! I like her a lot! I would never say that and mean it!"
"But-but you said-… oh forget it, let's go save Tessa," Honey sighed.
Outside…"Ha, you lose!" Bloo said holding his… hand… out for a quarter.
"Guys, I said no betting!" Mac snapped. He looked around for a sign of Tessa when he saw her. She was just lying flat on her back in the middle of the road… motionless.
"Oh, gosh, no," Mac whispered.
"Great, you've killed her, Mac," Bloo said rolling his eyes.
"SHUT UP! SHE'S NOT DEAD! SHE CAN'T BE!" Honey sobbed not wanting to overcome the 'truth.'
"Tessa! No, please no!" Mac cried. But then Tessa looked up at him. She was completely unharmed. She frowned and rolled over.
"What do YOU want?" she snapped.
"Thank goodness, you're alive," Mac sighed. Tessa remained eye contact with oblivion. She tried not to cry again.
"Why would you care?" she sighed, "You hate me. I know that I'm stupid but I don't need anybody reminding me."
"Tessa, no! You've got this all wrong! I don't hate you!" Mac called, "I want you to listen, okay? What I said wasn't about you. Okay? Remember the 'tesseracts?'"
"Yeah?" Tessa sniffed.
"I was talking about those… I don't think you're stupid… and I'm sorry…" Mac sighed. Tessa looked back at him.
"Really? You're positive that you mean that?"
"Yes." Tessa hesitated for a moment and then smiled.
"No, I'm sorry," she apologized. Mac smiled and stepped out to take her hand.
"Oh, this is so cute," Honey awed.
"Whatever," Bloo remarked. Mac grabbed Tessa held her close to him. Tessa couldn't help but do the same. But then all of a sudden…
BEEP BEEP!TO BE CONTINUED…
"Ooh! I hope we live!" Honey chirped. (copyright from Billy and Mandy)
"Honey, you really need to stop talking," Bloo sighed.
