Disclaimer- I don't own Trigun. I don't own The Glare. But for now, I own Vash! Mwahahaha! I don't own Fear Factor and I'm glad. That thing is nasty!
And thank you again to Chrissy! She is helping me write tons of this fic. I had serious writer's block and if it weren't for her, this chapter wouldn't have been up in like, a lot of weeks. Thank you for your awesome reviews. Here is a shout out to wosey. You said that Legato didn't kill Wolfwood. You're probably right. That must be in the manga I haven't read that yet. All of my fanfics are based on the anime. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Chapter 7 Love Turns to Chaos
After the service, Chrissy and Levi went home. Just before they walked in the door Chrissy put her hand back in Levis'. They opened the door and walked in to Rachel looking at them, evilly. She quickly turned back to Legato. They went to the couch and sat down.
"That was fun," Chrissy said finally.
"Yeah. Too bad the lights went out. The priest did a pretty good job of trying to read in the dark," Levi said, smiling.
"I know. That was so funny."
"So…nobody's back yet?" Levi asked to Forrest, Wolfwood, Meryl and Rachel.
"No." Rachel said in a murderous tone.
"Okay." Levi replied.
"She hates me. I know it. You said this wouldn't get serious," Chrissy whispered to Levi.
"Sorry, but we are trying to make her jealous. It's not that serious, we haven't even kissed yet," Levi answered back.
"Yet?! You're planning for us to kiss?" Chrissy said, shocked.
"Well, yeah. I want to make her really jealous so she'll drop that stupid blue guy, and come to me."
"Wow. My friends are going to freak if I kiss you. I don't know if I should."
"Please? It's for me. Plus, right now it'll make Rachel jealous, but later, she'll be very happy you did this. Trust me."
"I barely know you. How can I trust you?"
"Just do it. I promise it won't hurt Rachel."
"I'm still skeptical. I'll only do it if I really have to. Like if Rachel keeps making out with Legato or something."
"Okay. That's fine."
"Ah man! We're still here? I was hoping it was all a dream," Eric said from across the room, clearly awake.
"It's not that bad, is it?" Wolfwood asked him.
"Oh. Ummm…No?" Eric said, trying not to dis everybody who lived on Gunsmoke. Just then Heather, Vash, Danielle, Hal, Millie and Knives walked through the door.
"Finally. What took you so long?" Chrissy asked from the couch.
"Things," Danielle said simply, but blushing at the same time.
"Plus it's really hard trying to find your way back in the pitch, black dark," Heather responded.
"So what did you two do after the service?" Heather wondered aloud.
"Nothing," Chrissy said truthfully.
"Yeah. We just came back here," Levi finished for her. Rachel let out a sigh of relief from the table, which nobody saw.
"Anybody know what time it is?" Eric asked suddenly.
"It's 9," Forrest answered.
"Wow. It's still kind of early. What do we do?" Eric asked. All of the sudden the lights came back on.
"Storm must've cleared," Meryl said from the table.
"Good. T.V. here I come!" Eric said getting up from sitting on the ground.
"You're so weird Eric," Chrissy told him rudely.
"Sorry Miss Never Weird. Move over you two," Eric said, making Chrissy and Levi scoot over.
"I want to watch too," Danielle said hurrying over. "Do you guys get I Love the 90's here?"
"Great. So we can watch me?" Hal said.
"Well I like the show, not only because of you, just mostly because of you," Danielle said to him.
"How is the couch going to fit both of us?" Hal wondered aloud.
"You can sit and I can sit on your lap," Danielle said.
"Okay. Scoot over a bit more, you guys," Hal said to Chrissy and Levi making them so squished together that Chrissy was almost on top of him. Everybody else sat on the ground in front of the couch.
"Well this is fun," Heather said from Vash's lap, right in front of Chrissy.
"Yeah. I wish I had some more room though," Chrissy said still squeezed into Levi's shoulder.
"I thought you would like being so close to him. You guys are pretty cute together," Heather said with such a straight face nobody could tell she didn't really mean it.
"I kind of like it, but still, I'm not the kind of person that loves PDA's," Chrissy said.
Rachel and Knives turned around from sitting on the ground and stared for a second. Then just as fast, Knives turned back to Millie and Rachel turned back to Legato. Chrissy, Heather and Andie had all almost burst out laughing, but controlled themselves.
"I like it. I like it a lot," Levi said looking at Rachel for a reaction. As soon as she started turning around again, he looked back at the T.V. Rachel looked as if she was going to murder him with excruciating pain.
"Can you stop all the mushy love stuff?" Eric asked Levi.
"Ohhhh. Is Eric lonely?" Danielle asked him with the same voice she used earlier.
"Shut the hell-o. Hello!" Eric said with a feared look at Chrissy.
"Good boy Eric. Next time you say that, though, you're getting The Glare," Chrissy said to him while he winced.
Forrest spoke suddenly. "Hey, Danielle, can I talk to you for a second."
"Um, okay?" Danielle got up from the floor and walked with Forrest to the table they were sitting at earlier.
"Will you pretend to be my girlfriend?" Forrest asked in a whisper.
"Excuse me?" Danielle said frightened.
"Heather likes that Vash guy, and I like her, but she acts like she wants nothing to do with me. So I want to pretend to get with you and make her jealous."
"Wow. That's so unlike you."
"I know, but I really like her."
"I'd do it but… what about Hal?"
"He will get jealous of you and like you even more."
"Okay. I'll do it."
"Great! Thanks."
"Are you guys done over there?" Heather asked suddenly.
"Yeah. We were just coming over," Danielle answered back. They walked back over to the couch and sat back down on the floor right next to each other.
'Heather's plan worked!' Andie and Chrissy thought at the same time.
'Yep! My plan worked,' Heather thought to herself after reading their minds.
Hal was very confused about what had just happened with Danielle and Forrest. He kept looking from Danielle to Forrest with an extremely confused face. "What just happened, Danielle?" Hal asked her.
"Oh. We're over. I'm with Forrest now. Isn't he cute?!" Danielle said back to him, while thinking to herself, 'Did I just say that?'
"Oh. Okay," Hal replied back with a sad face on. "I'm going to go to bed."
"Okay, night!" everybody in the room said.
"What time is it now Forrest?" Eric asked him from across the room.
"It's 10:30. Wow, it's late. I'm going to bed too. Night," Forrest replied back.
"It's not that late. But, seeing as I don't have anybody to stay up with, I'm going to bed too." Eric replied to the whole room. Hal, Eric, and Forrest all got up and walked away from the T.V. so they could sleep without the noise. Levi scooted over on the couch as soon as Eric and Hal had left to give them a little more room, but not to much to look like they didn't like being that close to each other.
Everybody else stayed up until midnight. Just a little before they all decided to go to bed Vash, with Heather helping, brought out some pillows and blankets so they wouldn't have to sleep directly on the hard floor. They turned off the T.V. and all set out their own sleeping spots trying to make all of them fit. They were all squished together in the end, but all the couples didn't mind much. Levi offered to sleep on the floor right next to the couch so him and Chrissy weren't both sleeping on it.
"Yeah. Even with you as my boyfriend, that still would be creepy," Chrissy said to him and fell asleep with the rest of the group.
"Oh. Thanks. No just kidding. I don't want to sleep there either," Levi responded back.
Everybody fell asleep pretty fast. At about one in the morning, Hal got out of bed very quietly and went over to Andie. "Andie. Andie!" He whispered at her.
"What?" Andie asked with a sleepy face. "I'm trying to sleep."
"Sorry. I have to talk to you," Hal said to the barely awake Andie.
"Why?"
"I just do. Come on. We can talk outside." They walked to the door and Hal pushed it open. Andie stepped outside with a blanket wrapped around her.
"I'm freezing. What do you want?" Andie asked him.
"Danielle left me for Forrest."
"Yeah. I kind of saw."
"Well can you pretend to be my girlfriend so Danielle will get jealous?" Andie smiled. "What?"
"Oh, nothing," she said, trying to suppress a giggle. 'Wow Heather's getting really good at this,' she thought to herself. "Okay. I'll pretend to be your girlfriend."
"Thank you." Hal walked back inside.
"Now Legato's going to get jealous of me. Gross," Andie said to herself after he had walked inside. She followed him back until she reached her sleeping spot and went back to bed in an instant.
The next morning everybody woke up to the scream of Heather. Stephanie had turned up in the middle of the night and when Heather was going to step outside for some fresh air, she found her lying on the porch, asleep.
"What are you doing here?" she asked Stephanie.
"I don't know. Where's here? Do I know you?" Stephanie said in a quick succession.
"I'm Heather. Don't you remember me?"
"Heather. Nope, don't know you," she said, clearly dazed.
"She must've hit her head," Eric said, coming closer to look at Stephanie.
"Wait. I know you!" Stephanie said suddenly.
"Oh, great. Figures, the only person she remembers is me," Eric said with a weird face on. Everybody crowded around him were all giggling. "Shut up."
"I think I remember. You're Heather, and you're Rachel and you're Danielle and you're Chrissy and you're Andie," She said before stopping on Eric and looking at him with a happy look. "And you're Eric."
"Stephanie, we're in Trigun right now. Do you remember Trigun? Well, that's where we are right now." Heather said very slowly.
"How could I forget Trigun? Why are we here?"
"We think it's because everybody touched Andie's DVD at the same time. It was a cosmic force," Heather told her, with Chrissy glaring at her in the background.
"Okay? I think I just need to lie down and I'll be okay. I've been walking for a while, I think," Everybody helped bring her inside trying to keep her from falling down. They set her on the couch and decided to make breakfast.
"What do you guys want?" Vash asked everybody.
"Anything but pancakes," Danielle said from the corner.
"Anything but French Toast," Chrissy said.
"How about we make whatever we want?" Vash suggested.
"Okay, fine," Everybody mumbled.
They finished eating breakfast and cleaned up the room a bit. They shoved all the pillows and blankets into the corner so Eric could watch T.V. Vash asked Heather if she wanted to go on a walk. She agreed and they told everybody they were going. Soon, everybody had the idea to go on a walk, but in all different directions. With Stephanie needing to stay home, and Eric with nobody to go with, he stayed at the house and watched over her, but watching T.V. at the same time.
Everybody stepped outside into the bright sunlight. Rachel and Legato, Chrissy and Levi, Andie and Hal, and Forrest and Danielle all decided to go to Boswells again because they didn't know where anything else was and Legato didn't mind.
Knives and Millie went to the right of the house. Meryl and Wolfwood went straight, following the Boswell crowd, but didn't stop when they reached it. And, Heather and Vash went to the left of the house.
"This is fun," Heather declared after they had left everybody.
"Yeah. It's fun to just go on a walk. Sometimes you just need some time to think," Vash told her.
At Boswell, Rachel had dragged Legato over to the make-up so she could get more eyeliner. Chrissy and Levi got some ice cream. Danielle forced Forrest to look at clothes with her. Andie and Hal just wandered the store aimlessly trying to find something to get.
Levi was looking over at Rachel when she saw him looking at her. So bubbled-up with anger, and not 100 aware of her actions, she grabbed Legato and started kissing him. Levi was so jealous at seeing them kissing, he grabbed Chrissy and started kissing her.
She realized what had just happened and pushed him backwards. "What are you doing?!" she asked him, outraged at what he just did.
"Rachel started kissing Legato and I don't know, I kind of popped," he answered not very sure. Chrissy looked over at Rachel. She was still kissing Legato.
"She's not even looking at us. She wouldn't have seen us kissing anyway," Chrissy said, still very livid.
"I'm sorry. I told you already, I didn't mean to."
"Fine. Just don't do it anymore."
"But what if they do that non-stop?"
"Okay! Only then. But that's it! I swear, you do that one more time on "accident" and I quit and you'll be sorry."
"I promise I won't. Calm down," Levi told her in a quiet voice, trying to get her to stop glaring at him.
"I'm fine. I think I just need to sit down," Chrissy told him. They walked over to a table with some chairs and sat down. Rachel finally stopped kissing Legato and decided to sit down also, but at a different table. She looked at Levi as if perfectly satisfied with what she just did.
"Do you want a drink? I can buy you one," Levi asked Chrissy, hoping it was okay to talk to her.
"Sure. Thanks. Ask if they have Dr. Pepper, and if they don't, just water."
"Okay." Levi walked over to the counter. Chrissy saw him ask for her favorite drink, but in the end he came back with two bottles of water.
"Thank you," She said, taking her own drink. She opened it, and drank very fast.
"I'm really sorry about what I did. That's not what I usually do."
"It's okay. It just surprised me because you said you would only do it if they were making out constantly, and they weren't. So I was kind of shocked."
They drank the rest of their water and decided to look around some more. After a few minutes of looking around, finding Danielle trying on tons of outfits and asking Forrest if they looked okay and seeing Andie and Hal looking extremely bored, and asked them if they wanted to walk back with them, the couple left. They walked back to the house to find Knives and Millie and Meryl and Wolfwood back from their walks, and Eric trying to avoid Stephanie while he watched T.V. still.
"You've been watching T.V. too much Eric. You need a break," Chrissy told him.
"No thanks. I could watch T.V. forever," he replied.
"Whatever." Andie, Chrissy and Levi all decided to read a book, while Hal joined Eric.
About an hour later, Danielle walked in with a huge bag of clothes while Forrest walked behind her with a regretful look on his face thinking, 'Why do I love Heather? Why? I know! Because she's so damn hot, that's why! And funny… and smart… and kind… and thoughtful………… and hot…'
"That was so much fun!" Danielle exclaimed to the room. About a half an hour later Heather and Vash walked in.
"Where's Rachel?" Heather wondered aloud.
"Still at Boswells, I'm guessing," Andie told her, looking up from her book.
"Someone must be having fun," Heather said with a grin. Levi didn't put his book down, but Chrissy knew he was hiding a very mad face.
Levi kept tapping his chair and taking his book down and staring at Forrest's watch as if deciding if he should ask the time or not. Finally, Rachel and Legato came in with grins. Chrissy wondered what they had done while they were away, but her question was soon answered.
"What were you doing there the whole time?" Heather asked Rachel.
"Well, we kissed a lot, looked around some more, kissed some more and left," Rachel said simply as if it was a perfectly normal thing to do.
"Are you serious?" Heather asked her with a shocked face.
"Yes," Rachel said, starting to blush.
Meanwhile, in the chair next to Chrissy, Levi's eyes were livid behind his book. He looked at Chrissy with a questioning look. Chrissy shook her head and mouthed to him 'not yet'. He slid way down in his chair and kept reading. Chrissy felt very sorry for him, but didn't want to completely ruin Rachel's friendship with him. Rachel went and sat on the couch next to Eric. Everybody just talked, read or watched T.V. for a few hours until everybody was tired. They set their beds back up. Just before going to sleep, Rachel gave Legato a good-night kiss on the cheek. Levi got the same, angry face on as earlier.
Chrissy couldn't take it. She strode over to Levi and gave him a kiss on the lips and said goodnight. Everybody stared. They couldn't believe what had happened. Rachel looked more shocked than everybody else. Knives looked completely heart-broken. Finally, Heather broke the silence.
"Oh my, gosh," Heather said with her jaw dropped.
"What?" Chrissy asked the room. Levi just looked at her, along with everybody else.
"Okay. Good-night." Everybody mumbled 'night' and went to there beds. Grabbing Levi's hand, Chrissy walked over to her bed and Levi started whispering to her.
"What just happened?" Levi asked her.
"Sorry," Chrissy said plainly.
"It's fine. I was just, surprised."
"Okay. Going to go to bed now. Night," Chrissy said, putting an end to the conversation.
Nobody could figure out exactly what had just happened. Rachel was in a sort of shock. They all finally went to bed, but Chrissy had no idea of all the questions she would be bombarded with the next morning.
Chrissy woke up just to find Heather awake and reading a book. She walked over to her and said good morning.
"Hi," Heather said to her.
"Um, about last night-" Chrissy started.
"Yeah. What the heck was that? It scared me so much. I never thought you would do that."
"I only did it because I felt sorry for Levi."
"Uh, huh. Sure."
"I'm serious. I don't want to ruin his and Rachel's friendship. Rachel was just sinking way to low."
"Okay. Gotcha," Heather said before returning to her book. Chrissy decided to join her and picked up the book she was reading last night. They read until everybody else woke up. One by one as people woke up everyone, except Rachel, asked Chrissy the same question as Heather.
When Levi woke up, and everybody was dressed, she asked him to go on a walk with her. He said yes and they left to the taunting of her friends ("careful, she might kiss him again.") They walked to Boswells again, both agreeing that they needed to get a map sometime so they could go somewhere else. They got to the entrance and Levi opened the door for her. They went and sat down at the same table as yesterday and started talking.
"Everybody is freaking out at what I did. They're bugging me so much," Chrissy told him.
"I know. I'm really sorry. Hopefully, we won't have to kiss again and everybody will just forget about it," Levi said, trying to reassure her.
"I don't think they could forget about that. But, hopefully, they'll stop bugging me about it." After the short, little talk, they walked to the house to find Eric and Stephanie all alone.
"Where is everybody?" Levi asked Eric, who was sitting unusually close to Stephanie.
"They left for some thing that involved guns," Eric told them.
"Okay. Well, since we don't know how to get there, I guess we just have to stay here," Chrissy told Levi. They sat down on the couch next to Eric, but were squeezed together again, so Chrissy offered to sit on the floor.
"I don't want you to have to sit down there. You could sit in my lap," Levi told her, then got closer, and whispered in her ear, "If Rachel sees you in my lap, she'll get more jealous."
"Fine," Chrissy said plainly to Levi, while looking at Eric's stunned face.
"Sitting awfully close to Stephanie there, aren't you?" Chrissy asked him questionably.
"I guess. I decided I'm over Danielle. Stephanie is my new girl," Eric told her.
"About time," Levi told him.
"Well, Danielle left me for another guy, and that hurts. Lucky for you, you never have been left," Eric said.
"Right. Okay," Levi said plainly.
Everybody came home an hour later. Everybody look shocked, again, at the fact that Chrissy was sitting in Levi's lap. Knives got the same sad face on from the night before. He strode over to the table and sat down. Everybody, after looking at Chrissy and Levi, turned to Eric and looked surprised.
'Wow. This love thing is going very far,' Heather thought to herself 'Oh, well. It's fun!' She grinned. Stephanie was a lot better, and very happy at the fact that she was Eric's girlfriend.
"I really like you Eric," she told him.
"I really like you too," Eric told her. Danielle rolled her eyes from across the room.
Meanwhile, Millie had walked to where Knives was sitting.
"What's the matter Mr. Knives?" she asked him, looking worried.
"It's Chrissy. She hasn't even noticed that I'm with you and then she kissed Levi. It's like we were never together," Knives told her, looking very depressed.
"I'm sorry," Millie told him.
"Thanks," he said, and walked back over towards the T.V. Not wanting to leave again, everybody that had gone to the "some thing with guns" didn't feel like going to the movies, after Eric suggested it, so Levi and Chrissy decided to join them. The two couples left and everybody left tried to find something to do.
"Heather, can I talk to you for a second?" Rachel asked Heather, who was talking with Vash, Danielle, and Forrest at the moment.
"Yeah. Sure," she said before getting up and walking to the chairs near the books. "What's up?"
"I'm really creeped out. I thought, just maybe, Levi liked me, but now, with Chrissy and everything and her kissing him, I'm just so confused," She said in a very fast, one-breathed sentence.
"Maybe he does like you, and he just is scared to tell you or something," Heather told her reassuringly.
"I don't think so. I mean, now they're at the movie and who knows what they'll do there."
"Well, Stephanie and Eric are with them. I don't think they'll do anything. Now, if they were alone, that's a different story," Heather said with a laugh, but after seeing Rachel's shocked face she added, "I'm just kidding."
"That's not funny."
"Sorry," she said and walked back to the table. Back at the table, Knives and Millie and Wolfwood and Meryl had joined. Danielle was in a deep discussion of her and Heather's future, which they had had planned for years, and how they were planning to go to New York and go to NYU. At the T.V., Andie and Hal were a little bored.
"This isn't very exciting," Andie told Hal.
"I know. We should find something to do besides T.V.," Hal responded back.
"What do you have in mind?" Andie said, curiously.
"We could join them in their conversation," Hal said while looking at the table.
"I've heard that story a billion times. I'm tired of it."
"Okay, so what do we do?"
"Have you ever heard or Khleo Thomas?" Andie said suddenly.
"No…" Hal said suspiciously.
"Well,-" Andie then went into a huge discussion about Khleo Thomas and how she was madly in love with him. Rachel and Legato were both reading books.
Occasionally, Legato would stop reading, take down his book, and look at Andie, then suddenly, put his book back up as if nothing happened. Andie didn't see this, but she knew it was going to happen sooner or later, according to Heather's plan, which, so far, was right on track. Finally ending their conversation about Khleo, and realizing, at the table, they were done talking about Danielle and Heather's futures, they walked over to it.
"Now what are you guys talking about?" Andie asked the table.
"Nothing, really. We need a new topic," Danielle told her. Just then, the door opened and everybody watched Stephanie and Eric, and Chrissy and Levi walk in.
"Well that was fun," Chrissy said in a sarcastic voice.
"Oh, yes. Bunches," Levi said in the same voice.
"Why? What happened?" Heather asked them both.
"Well, the movie sucked, added to the fact that we had them making out in front of us the whole time," Chrissy said looking at Eric and Stephanie. Stephanie started blushing and Eric smiled.
"Oh," Heather said simply.
"So, you two weren't making out the whole time?" Danielle asked Chrissy and Levi from across the table from Heather.
"No," Levi said.
"Just because I kissed him once does not mean I make out with him every second of the day!" Chrissy said screaming at them, completely fed-up with the way they had been acting.
"Okay, sorry. Calm down," Danielle said.
"I'm fine. It's just so annoying what you guys have been saying. I'm still Chrissy; do you really think I'd make out with him during the whole movie?" Chrissy said quickly.
"No. Not really," Heather said.
"Thank you!" Chrissy said before throwing herself down in a chair at the table. Levi pulled up a chair right next to her.
"So, what are we talking about?" Levi asked everybody sitting down.
"Were they really making out the whole time?" Forrest asked.
"Yes. It was kind of annoying because they were sitting right in front of us," Chrissy said.
"The whole movie?" Heather asked.
"Almost," Levi said.
"Dang. Eric has had a big change when it comes to whom he likes. I never thought he be with Stephanie," Danielle added.
"I know, it's weird," Chrissy told her. "He was always afraid of her almost, now he's crazy about her."
"Weird," Andie said.
"Anyway, can we talk about something else now? I already saw it; I don't need to talk about it," Chrissy said.
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" Danielle asked the table.
"Well…" Heather began. "I've been wondering why Meryl has been hanging around Wolfwood all of the sudden."
The mentioned couple blushed. "I looked into myself and God told me that my soul mate is my darling Meryl," Wolfwood explained.
Millie bit her lip, which Wolfwood saw out of the corner of his eye. "Yeah," said Meryl. "I think I've fallen in love with him." She discreetly looked at Vash who tensed up.
Wolfwood put his arm around her. "I love you, honey."
"I love you, too, pudding," said Meryl. 'This is so wrong.'
"Pudding?" Millie's radar perked up. "Where?" Everyone started laughing.
Wolfwood leaned into Meryl's ear and whispered, "They won't believe us unless I kiss you. Do you mind?"
"I guess not," Meryl whispered back.
Everyone stared at them expectantly. Meryl and Wolfwood stared at each other both hoping for some kind of distraction. None came. They moved in closer and closed the gap between their lips.
During the 30 seconds they were kissing, their heads were screaming. 'Why! Why am I doing this?! Meryl/Wolfwood is just a friend! She/he loves Vash/Millie! Ew! This is so disgustingly wrong! Get me out of here!' And the short 30 seconds ended. They could have sworn it lasted a century.
Meryl and Wolfwood glanced at Vash and Millie. They were gaping like dead fishes. Their eyes were the size of saucers. Heather was rolling on the floor laughing her butt off.
"That-" more laughter "was the funniest most grotesque thing I've ever saw!" More laughter. "It was better than Fear Factor! You should have-" she giggled. "-seen the looks on your faces!" she said pointing and laughing at Wolfwood and Meryl.
Millie looked down sadly and bit her lip to stop herself from crying. Vash sighed Andie looked at them. It was heart wrenching to see them like this. Heather's plan was going way overboard. It was cruel of her to think this was amusing. She couldn't stand it. Andie then got up from the table and walked back to the couch. Legato seized his chance. He set his book down and walked over to Andie.
"Hi," he said casually. "Can I sit here?" he pointed to the chair.
"Sure," Andie said plainly, not looking at him. 'Uh, oh. Here it comes,' She thought to herself.
"Do you know what's with everybody getting together with everybody they're not usually with?" he asked her.
"Kind of," Andie answered, now looking at him.
"What do you mean, 'kind of'?" he asked curiously.
"Well, Heather had this plan and well she knew all of this was going to happen," Andie said to his shocked face. "With her whole able to read minds thing she knew it."
"Are you serious?" Legato asked her. "This all happened because of her."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Wow."
"I know. It's weird. She even knew them in order of them happening."
"Wow," Legato said again. Andie laughed.
"Was that the only reason you followed me over here? To ask about that?" Andie asked him.
"Actually, no. I- I really like you Andie," he told her. "I have for a while. Its just, with Rachel, it has been hard to tell you."
"Oh," Andie said.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you. You don't like me. I understand. I should've known," he said starting to get up from the couch.
"No. Don't leave. I'm the one who should be saying sorry. I was just surprised, that's all. I do like you."
"Really?" Legato said, sitting back down.
"Yeah. I'm sorry I said that. That was really rude. I do like you," Andie said quickly. He moved closer to her and they kissed. Before they stopped, Rachel and Hal had both seen them.
"What are you doing?!" Hal and Rachel said at the exact same time. Everybody else looked up, shocked, and Andie and Legato stopped kissing. They looked at the room. Rachel looked outraged, but Hal was a bit calmer, but not happy.
"What were you doing?" Rachel asked Legato.
"Sorry, Rachel," Legato said to her. "I like Andie, I always have. Well, since she got here at least."
Rachel couldn't stop staring. All of the sudden she started crying and ran out the door. Heather ran after her.
"Rachel. Are you okay?" she said after finding Rachel sobbing on the front porch. At first she didn't answer. "Rachel?" she repeated.
"No. I'm not okay! The only guy I like has completely turned away from me and now the closest thing I had was Legato, and now he has left!" she replied still sobbing.
"I'm really sorry. I started this whole thing, I'm so sorry," Heather told her.
"What do you mean you started this whole thing?"
"Well, I kind of knew everybody was going to go with everybody."
"I still don't get it."
"With the mind reading, I knew. Levi first asked Chrissy to pretend like his girlfriend because you were with Legato. He really likes you. The only reason he's with Chrissy is to make you jealous. You can ask him or Chrissy, it's true. I'm really sorry about everything I put you through."
"Are you serious? He likes me?" Rachel asked her, putting a stop to her crying.
"Yes. Like I said, you can ask Chrissy or Levi. He really likes you." Rachel then got up and walked inside. When Heather got back in, she saw Rachel asking him.
"Do you really like me?" she asked him.
"Yes. I have for so long. Chrissy isn't really my girlfriend, she was just helping me try to get you jealous." A second later, Rachel had started kissing him. They stopped and she walked over to Chrissy.
"Thanks," she told her.
"You're welcome. That kiss meant nothing by the way." Chrissy said to her. Rachel laughed.
Heather explained the whole thing to everybody after that. Soon, everybody was back to normal: Rachel and Levi, Chrissy and Knives, Millie and Wolfwood, Meryl and Vash, Heather and Forrest (after Forrest completely explained why he was at their table and how he likes Heather, a lot), Danielle and Hal, Andie and Legato, and Eric and Stephanie.
Everybody praised Heather in her cruel, heartless, devious yet brilliant plan. She beamed with pride.
"So, sexy smarty…" Forrest came up from behind and wrapped is arms around her. "How did you figure this one out?" He started lightly kissing her neck.
She sighed in pleasure. "Well, it was really easy actually. I just wanted everybody to be happy. It's just the way I am. One of my main goals in life is to please everybody. You know…" Heather started as Forrest continued to kiss her neck and move to her jaw. "You're just what you're sign says about you. Scorpios are very sensual. And I think I like it." Forrest smiled against her cheek.
"Ok, ok. Enough of that," Vash pulled them apart. "Heather. You told me that I was your 'uncle'. Now I have to act the 'fatherly' part." Heather shook her head. "All right, Forrest. What are you planning with my daughter?" he said in a deep manly voice.
"Dad, Forrest is in the National Junior Honor Society with me and he's a Natural Helper," Heather informed.
Vash quit his father act. "You're in the Honor Society?"
Heather giggled. "Yes," she answered.
"So… what do you guys want to do?" Wolfwood asked.
Chrissy sighed. "Not again! I don't think I can stand another second in Boswell."
"I have an idea!" Heather exclaimed.
"No! No more ideas!" Meryl rubbed her temples. "I don't think I can take anymore of your ideas."
"Please? Just listen to this. We need to get out of here. Let's travel the desert. Come on! It'll be fun," she said to her friends' stares and whispers of, "she's on crack."
"Traveling the desert isn't all you make it out to be," said Vash.
"I don't care. Please? We'll bring tons of water and food. It'll be like a little picnic!" Heather started bribing, "We can bring pudding, and doughnuts. And I'll even allow cigarette smoking. I know Chrissy doesn't want to go back into Boswell but we can stock on yummy things like casserole…" she grabbed Rachel's attention. "and candy." Eric looked up at the word. "We'll buy Coke." Danielle grinned. "and Dr. Pepper," she said to Chrissy's oncoming frown that didn't come when she heard 'Dr. Pepper'. "We'll even get hot dogs." Legato perked up. 'I think I have enough of them to persuade the rest,' she thought to herself and let the suggestion settle. She walked to the table and observed them.
"Doughnuts!" Vash cheered. "She said doughnuts!"
"And pudding!" Millie said happily.
"I get to smoke!"
"I get casserole!"
"I get candy!"
"Yay! Coke!" Danielle clapped.
"At least Dr. Pepper is available," said Chrissy with a huge smile.
"How did you kn- Oh yeah. You can read minds, too," said Legato. His eyes glazed over a little thinking about his wonderful hot dogs.
Stephanie heartily agreed with all of them. Andie said she'd go wherever Legato went. Knives agreed to be with Chrissy; Hal with Danielle, and Meryl with Vash. And of course Forrest would go anywhere Heather went.
Heather smirked as she saw the decisions form in there eyes. "So?"
"Yes!" everyone said.
"All right people! Get packing!" Heather ordered.
"Yes, ma'am!"
She smiled proudly. "I'm so good."
Yay! I'm sorry for taking so long. I usually don't update during the week but thanks to Chrissy, it's here! She wrote more than half of this and gave me tons of ideas! Thank you, Chrissy! We all love you! Please review!!! REVIEW, REVIEW!!!!! PLEASE!!!
