Chapter 2: Together on a Monday Night

After a great discussion (with some deep blushing) Rikochet and Buena Girl agreed to give up bathing and fresh clothes for the time they were stuck together. But," Rikochet said nervously. "The bathroom isn't something that can be avoided." Buena Girl nodded. "I know," she said, looking slightly worried. She stared out the window. Rikochet winced, then slowly ventured, "What if we just promise not to look at each other?" Buena Girl slowly turned back to him. "Hey, it was just a suggestion," he said. Buena Girl sighed. "It's the best option we have," she replied, though she still didn't look especially thrilled. Rikochet then reached out and gently touched her cheek. "Hey, we can make this work if we try, Buena Girl," he said. To his surprise, Buena Girl lifted her own hand and gripped his. They smiled at each other.

BRRRING!

The bell rang for dismissal. The kids all ran to their lockers except Rikochet and Buena Girl who followed at a more leisurely pace. They reached their lockers. Rikochet reached for his, and Buena Girl reached for hers. Their hands stayed together. They both looked nervously at each other. "Wow, like we needed another problema," Rikochet said. "Let's do your locker first," Buena Girl said. She carefully held Rikochet's padlock, and he unlocked it and got his things. Buena Girl couldn't help but stare at all of Rikochet's El Rey decorations. "You are a really big fan, I see," she said. Rikochet blinked, then realized what she was talking about. "Oh, yeah. I really like all the El Rey stuff - I'm one of the biggest collectors around." "Impressive," Buena Girl said.

"Now your locker," he said. She nodded, and grabbed her padlock now. After a minute, Rikochet realized he didn't know her combination. "Um, what's your combo?" he asked. "Oh!" Buena Girl said. She dropped her voice. "7 left, 24 right, 74 left, 29 right," she whispered. Rikochet carefully spun her padlock until it opened. To his surprise, Rikochet saw lots of ABBA posters and stickers decorating her locker. "You like ABBA?" he asked. Buena Girl nodded in surprise. "I thought you knew. They are the best band ever. I don't care if other people have an opinion. They are the best." She then tried to get her stuff out. "What do you need out of here?" Rikochet asked. "Just my notebook from Corazon de Lucha class," she replied. He grabbed it for her. "Gracias, Rikochet," she said, smiling. He smiled back.

Of course, that's when the Flea came over to join them. "Hola, amigos," he said glumly. Rikochet and Buena Girl glanced at him. "Hey there Flea," Rikochet replied. The Flea sighed. "The Flea hopes that the Headmistress does not do anything to the Flea's spleen," he muttered. "FLEA!" The Headmistress yelled from her office. "iAy! Gotta go! Bye!" The Flea screamed as he ran down the hall. Rikochet and Buena Girl shook their heads and left.

As they were leaving, yet another problem occured to Rikochet. "Uh, Buena Girl?" he said. She glanced at him. "Where are we going to sleep?" he asked. Buena Girl halted. "Great. Yet another problem presents itself," she said. They finally got to Tikochet's house. "Well," he started. "Let's just explain the problem and see what our options are," he said. Buena Girl then gave him a fake glare. "You do realize that the only option is a prolonged sleepover?" she asked. Rikochet then grinned. "I guess there are silver linings to every cloud," he said. This made them both laugh, then they went into Rikochet's house. Mama was in the kitchen cooking dinner. "Hola, mi jovencito," she said before turning around. She saw Buena Girl standing there, and then her eyes travled to their hands. "Uh," she started again. "What is this?" she asked. "Well, Rikochet began..."

(15 minutes later)

"...and that's what's happened," Buena Girl finished. Mama blinked, then said, "Well, Buena Girl, I think we should call your parents and have them over for awhile to talk," she said. Buena Girl agreed, and Mama went to call. Seeing nothing better to do, Rikochet and Buena Girl went into the living room to watch some TV. "I hope there's something good on today," Buena Girl said. "So do I," Rikochet replied. They sat down on the sofa together and turned on the TV. They went through a couple channels together - "Booooring." "AAH! CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" - before finally finding a music video channel. "This should work for the both of us," Rikochet said. Buena Girl nodded in agreement. Playing on the TV right now was an old ABBA song, "Money, Money, Money." Buena Girl gasped. "It was lucky we found this when we did," she said. "You like this song?" Rikochet asked. She nodded in repsonse. Rikochet then became silent so he could listen.

I work all night, I work all day,
To pay the bills I have to pay -
Ain't it sad?
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me -
That's too bad.
In my dreams I have a plan:
If I got me a wealthy man,
I wouldn't have to work at all,
I'd fool around and have a ball.

Rikochet's foot started tapping along with the beat of the song. Then Buena Girl started to gently sway back and forth beside him. They glanced at each other, smiling, then returned their gazes to the TV.

Money, money, money.
Must be funny.
In the rich man's world.
Money, money, money.
Always sunny.
In the rich man's world.
Aha, aha.
All the things I could do,
If I had a little money,
It's a rich man's world.
It's a rich man's world.

By that point, both Rikochet and Buena Girl were rocking side to side together. They looked at each other and grinned.

A man like that is hard to find.
But I can't get him off my mind.
Ain't it sad.
And if he happens to be free,
I bet he wouldn't fancy me -
That's too bad.
So I must leave, I'll have to go,
To Las Vegas or Monaco,
And win a fortune in a game.
My life will never be the same.

Rikochet then gestured out to the floor. Buena Girl felt herself blush, then nodded. The two got up off the sofa and started dancing together.

Money, money, money.
Must be funny.
In the rich man's world.
Money, money, money.
Always sunny.
In the rich man's world.
Aha, aha.
All the things I could do,
If I had a little money.
It's a rich man's world.

As they danced, Buena Girl found herself resting her head against Rikochet's chest. This surprised both of them, but Rikochet wasn't at all bothered by it. On the contrary, he found himself enjoying the feel of Buena Girl against him. Buena Girl also found herself enjoying it. She listened as Rikochet's heart started to speed up. It took her a moment to realize that her heart was doing the exact same thing. She turned her head slightly, and their eyes connected. Now they were both blushing heavily.

As the song finished, Rikochet dipped Buena Girl low. They stayed there for a moment, gazing at each other. That's when they heard some applause. Rikochet brought Buena Girl up, and they both turned to see all their parents applauding. "Bravo, mijo," Lone Star said, grinning. "You dance so buena, Princessa," Buena Mom said. Both kids blushed. Mama smiled. "We decided that you kids could stay here until your hands come undone," she said. Buena Girl and Rikochet nodded. "But, since it's a school night, you two had best get ready for bed," she said.

Finally, after several trials, from the sink to the toilet, the two were as ready for bed as they could be. They awkwardly crawled into Rikochet's bed together. "Well...good night, Buena Girl," Rikochet said. "Good night, Rikochet," Buena Girl answered. Then they tried to turn over. Their hands were preventing them from moving that way. That meant that they would have to sleep facing each other. Blushing harder then ever, the two eventually gave up and fell asleep.

MWA: LOL! Another chapter done! Woo-hoo!
Okay, I bet you're all wondering why I made Buena Girl an ABBA fan. Well, I can picture her singing a lot of ABBA songs - "Dancing Queen," Mamma Mia," Super Trouper," etc - and, of course, my mom FINALLY got me my first ABBA album! Oh yeah baby!

Oh, and here's my comments to my reviewers:

Danielle: Thank you! Glad to hear it.

Rikochet Loves Buena Girl: OO How'd you know? You're good...

UnknownPerson: iGracias! I'm glad you think so.

Rod G: You and me both! I mean, Atomic Betty (DIE! lol) has it's own category, and it just came out! Why shouldn't ML have it's own category?

Eddie M: iMuchas gracias! Thanks for reviewing. And that's an interesting idea...

Stay buena y'all! And keep an eye out for chapter 3!
