Sharp23: Well I can see that people are actually reading my fic although none are reviewing, which is really weird. You guys should really review so I'll know if I'm doing a good job or maybe I should improve a bit. FYI, I won't be able to update for a while due to the projects and homework my teachers keep giving me! Sorry! I'll try and update soon!

Misconceptions – Chapter 3
Living Room (Mac's POV) (7:12 PM)
I began to recall on what had happened throughout the day. When Mr. Herriman and Frankie had heard they passed, they immediately invited Josh for dinner. At first he refused but after much persuading, he said yes. I soon left the Living Room and started to walk over to the Dining Room. When I entered, I saw that everyone had just finished eating his or her pizza.
"You know, I'm kinda glad Bloo ordered all this pizza. Saves me the trouble of cooking the meal tonight." Whispered Frankie as she walked away into the kitchen. I also noticed that Josh was also finished eating as well.
"Thanks for the food Mr. Herriman."
"No problem at all. Would you like to leave now?" He nodded as he stood up from his chair.
"Ms. Frances, would you please escort Josh to the front door?"
"Yeah whatever." Frankie led Josh out of the room while I sat myself down next to Mr. Herriman. I could hear Josh and Frankie's conversation from here.
"I really enjoyed my time here but I really have to go now. It's getting late."
"I'm glad you enjoyed everything here. Do you need a ride home?"
"That's okay, I'll just walk home. It's not that far anyway." I heard the door open only to hear it closed shut. "There's no way this much snow could have accumulated in such a small amount of time!" I heard Josh scream is disappointment.
"Well to me it looks like it's a blizzard out there. Still wanna walk?"
"Not anymore. This is just great! Now I can't go home!" I heard Josh moan. "Do you have a phone around here that I can use?"
"Yeah, there's a phone down that hallway."
"Thanks."
"Master Mac, have you eaten dinner yet?"
"Um, not yet Mr. Herriman."
"Then have yourself some food then shall you?" I grabbed a slice pf pizza with some soda. I noticed that Josh walked in here and sat directly the opposite side of me.
"Master Josh, I thought you were leaving."
"Please, skip the formality!" Josh laid his head on the table.
"All right then. Josh, is there a reason as to why you are not leaving?"
"Yes. There's a blizzard out there that there must be at least 6 inches on the ground that I'm unable to walk."
"Quite disappointing. I'll have Ms. Frances to drive you home."
"ARE YOU NUTS? I'M NOT GOING TO DRIVE OUT THERE IN THIS WEATHER!"
"Don't use that tone with me Ms. Frances!"
"Mr. Herriman, can I stay here for tonight? That's of course you don't mind."
"Certainly! You may stay in the guest room."
"Thanks." I had finished the small slice of pizza and thought about how I wasn't able to leave either.
"Can I also stay here for tonight?"
"Of course you can Master Mac."
20 Minutes Later (Arcade Room)
I began wondering around the house in search of Bloo who was nowhere to be found. I found myself in the Arcade Room somehow and decided that maybe Bloo was here. After some walking around, I found Bloo playing some game.
"What's up Bloo?"
"Hey Mac. I'm just trying to beat this game and get the high score!" I found it a little weird that he was playing a Pac-man game instead of some action game.
"Why are you playing this game and not something else?"
"Because I've already beaten the other games already and not this one yet. And I also got the top score in every single game!"
"I don't believe that one bit Bloo. There's no way you got the high score in every single game and managed to beat Coco's high score."
"And why's that Mr. Smarty pants?"
"Because you're not that good at playing video games." He scoffed.
"At least I'm better than you!"
"No you're not."
"Wanna bet?"
"Fine then, you're on! I'll let you pick the game because I know you're going to need it for the advantage." Bloo paused the Pac-man game and began to think about which game we should play. At least that's what I think he was doing.
"How about……..nah……….what about the……..no no……….or how about the……….no, not that one…….."
"Will you make up your mind already?"
"All right geez!" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Josh had entered the room. He began to walk around in search of a game I suppose.
"Hey Josh! You wouldn't have an idea of a game that I can challenge Mac, would you?" Josh looked at us for a second and gave a questioning look.
"Nope. No clue at all." I saw him grasping his stomach and noticed that his face was a bit pale.
"Hey! Are you all right over there?" I walked over to him to see what was up." I saw him turn around as if he thought I was talking to someone else.
"Who? Me?"
"Yeah you. There's no one else here but the three of us."
"Well I'm all right." Then I saw him bit his lip.
"I don't think you're all right at all. Is there something wrong with your stomach?"
"Mac! Are we going to play or what?"
"Sorry Bloo! Can't play with you right now!"
"Awwwww, is Mac afraid he's going to lose?" I sighed to myself silently.
"Yeah I am."
"I do have some sort of a stomach ache. There's nothing to worry about."
"You sure? You're also a bit pale too you know."
"Really?" I nodded.
"That's normal for me. I always get a bit pale when I have a stomachache. No idea why though." I saw down next to him just to be sure he'd be all right.
"Aren't you going to play with Bloo?"
"I can play with him some other time. Besides, you look like you need company."
"Hmm…. so are you friends with Bloo?"
"Yeah, he's my imaginary friend."
"Really? That's cool." It went silent for a while until I decided to bring up the topic on why he hates me.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you hate me?"
"What? I never said that."
"Yeah you did." I looked at him for a moment and noticed that he was staring at the floor while talking to me.
"When did I say this?"
"You said it in the cafeteria today. Remember?'
"You heard me say that?"
"Obviously. I do only sit right next to you." He gave a smirk.
"Or maybe you were just eaves dropping…." I laughed.
"I would never do that. So, you gonna tell me why you hate me or what?"
"Well it's because popular people like you think they're better than everyone else. That's all."
"I don't think that way."
"Sure you don't. That's what you say now but your attitude tells me that you do."
"My attitude says nothing to you." I said sarcastically. "Look, I don't do that to other people. You can ask anyone here at Foster's or at the school." He didn't talk to me after that. So after a while, I took off in search of Bloo again. I found him in the same place he was the first time I found him.
"Still playing the same game?"
"Well duh! I haven't beaten it yet. And I won't be beat by some of these ghost things that keep trying to touch me!" I laughed every single time he got eaten by one of those things. I then heard some other game being played but thought that was some other imaginary friend who decided to play as well.
"Hey Mac! How's it going?" I turned to face the voice behind me.
"Hey Wilt, Coco, Eduardo! I'm doing just fine. What about you guys?"
"We're doing just great! Thanks for asking."
"Senor Mac? What is Senor Bloo doing?"
"Oh he's just trying to beat this game and get the highest score."
"Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco." (A/N: You readers out there won't be able to understand what Coco is saying but you can always try and guess!)
"Yeah I don't think he will either."
"We'll be around the arcade doing some stuff all right?" I nodded. I watched as they walked away to play some games and noticed that Josh was playing a game. I walked over to him and saw it was a game called Time Crisis. I wanted to see how good he was at playing video games and saw that he was able to dodge every bullet that came for him. I think he might even be better than Coco. I picked up the second controller that was on the right of him.
"I thought you had a stomach ache. What happened?"
"Well doing things helps me to forget about it and it lessens the pain."
"You mind if I join?"
"Of course not!"
"You're pretty good at this game."
"Yep, I'm the best at almost every single video game."
"Almost?"
"Well I'm not good at fighting games like Tekken."
"Uh-huh." I entered at the next level and played the game as best as I could.
30 Minutes Later (Bloo's POV) This is a first! Well in this story it is…."That's it! I quit! This game is way too dumb and hard to finish!" Seriously, this game stinks and I bet no one in the world can win.
"So, who do you think is going to last longer of the two?" asked Wilt.
"I think Senor Mac will."
"Coco Coco Coco Coco."
"You don't think Mac will win?"
"Coco Coco."
"What's going on here?"
"Oh hey Bloo. Mac and Josh are competing to see who will live longer in this game."
"What? Mac would go in challenge with Josh but not me?" I instantly felt jealous that he would do that. But of course, I'm not going to show it because that's how cool I am.
"What level are they on?"
"Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco."
"No way! They got further than I did?"
(Mac's POV)
I can't believe it! He can really hold out for a long time and I have 1 life short than he does!
"What's wrong Mac? Is the pressure getting to you?"
"No way man. I'm just getting warmed up."
"We'll see if that's true." There was this guy in a red uniform that kept bouncing all over the place while shooting at me. I somehow killed him and got an extra life.
"I'm not about to lose to a newbie!" He chuckled.
"I love hearing people call me a noob. In the end, they're the ones who's a noob."
"Come on Mac! You can beat him anytime and any day!" shouted Bloo. I smiled inwardly when I heard that. I soon heard Frankie's voice come from behind.
"What's up guys?"
"Mac and Josh here are competing."
"Oh okay. I'm just here to remind you that its time for you guys to sleep."
"Already?" shouted Bloo.
"Well yeah. It must be nine o' clock right now.
"You guys go to sleep that early?" questioned Josh.
"Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco."
"That's too bad. Now you're gonna miss it when I beat Mac down into the dust."
"Yeah, that'll happen in a million years." Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco started to head for their rooms.
"Can I please stay Frankie?"
"Sorry Bloo, its Mr. Herriman's rules."
"Let the guy stay. If Mr. Herriman gets mad, then he can blame me."
"Gee, I don't know Josh."
"Don't worry about it Frankie!" I laughed silently when I saw he lost a life and he didn't even notice.
"Just so you know, you lost a life."
"What?"
"Fine. Bloo can stay but I don't want Mr. Herriman to find out." I heard her walk away while Bloo took a nearby chair and sat down.
"You're so going down Josh."
"Sure I am……"
1 Hour LaterWe were down to last level with Bloo screaming in excitement. I had 1 life left while Josh had 2. Then we met the final boss but before we could have fought, the screen went black.
"What the…." I looked over to Josh to see that his screen also went out.
"What happened?"
"I don't know." Coco suddenly appeared from behind the screens.
"Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco Coco." Then she took off.
"Um, what'd she say?"
"She said too much games would ruin our health."
"Awww come on! Now we won't know who won!" screamed Bloo.
"Calm down. We can do a rematch another time, right Josh?"
"Yeah. And you'll see that I will beat him." And so begins the argument on who won.
30 Minutes Later"All right! I really don't care who won in the first place!" I shouted to Josh.
"I'm glad you agree."
"Man you act just like Bloo."
"Awesome!" I turned to face Bloo and saw that he fell asleep. He looked kinda cute when he was asleep. Wait, what did I just say?
"So, are you going to bring Bloo up to his room?" I nodded.
"I'll come with you." I took Bloo into my arms and started to head for his room with Josh walked besides me.
"If I didn't know nay better, the way you're holding him tells me that you two are a couple or something." I heard him laugh to himself. I ignored the comment and began thinking of when I started to feel these different things for Bloo. I didn't know what it was but it feels like I love or something. But that can't be true can it?
I don't think a guy and a guy imaginary friend can be together. Just like a boy can't be with another boy, otherwise they'll be looked down upon and be shunned from society. But it doesn't matter anyway. I don't have those kind of feelings for Bloo, do I?
Sharp23: So did you readers out there like this chapter? Here's a little preview on what to expect from later chapters. Bloo will be angsty and Mac will start to date someone and he doesn't where his true feelings is. See you next time!
