Chapter Ten
Hoagie's POV
I tried to keep myself from looking down but I couldn't help it. Fanny's bra was being exposed, what'd you expect me to do? But I've got to keep looking straight or I might run into a wall. I glance down again. Since when did Fanny become a C-cup?
"Oi, pervert! Keep your eye on where you're going!" She shouted. Oh right, ahem.
I can hear the feet of those mutant rats hitting the floor behind us. I could tell they getting closer and closer, because the ground seems to be shaking harder and harder. I could feel my head getting moist from all the sweat, and my legs getting heavy. My breathing started to slow down and I was panting. But I couldn't stop now, there were mutant rats with laser eyes chasing after us!
"Hoagie?" Fanny said.
"Don't worry! I'll outrun those rats!" I tried to sound as convincing as possible, but she didn't buy it.
"Outrun? You're nearly out of breath and you're slowing down! Maybe we should swap?"
There was nowhere to run. Beside me were walls and no corridors. I looked ahead and noticed a hole in the ground. It was way to small for the rats… but just the right size for us.
"No need." I say. Confused, she looked ahead to where I had set my eyes on.
"ARE YOU NUTS! WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT LEADS!" She screamed.
"Yes we do. Away from those rats."
I lock on my destination and I pick up speed. Fanny hung on to me for dear life. I smirked at her. "What?" She asked.
"Just… hang on to your underwear." I whispered.
Her eyes went wide. When I was inches away from the hole I took a jump. Fanny screamed and buried her face in my chest as my grip on her became firmer. As we entered we soon learnt that it wasn't a vertical hole, but instead a tunnel with twists and turns, all going downhill. We shut our eyes and screamed our lungs out.
For what seemed like a buhmillion hours, we finally land. But it wasn't on anything soft. "Ow…" Fanny mumbled. She was still hanging on to me and I was still holding her. We opened our eyes, to realize how close we were. It wasn't as close as when I tripped, but it was still pretty close. Her face turned pink and she gasped as she stood up. "What do ya think you were doing?" She yelled, looking down on me. "Are you out of your mind?"
I stood up and faced her. "Look Numbuh 86-T, there was nowhere else to go and besides, we lost those rats."
She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it straightaway. I looked at her shoulders and noticed her tank top strap was still down and her bra was still exposed. Turning pink, I turned my head slightly and held it up high. "Uhh… y-you're bra is still…" I stuttered
She looked down at her top and pulled her strap up. I glanced out of the corner of my eye to see if it was safe to look. Unfortunately it wasn't. 86-T's face was so red with anger. She held her finger up to her face threateningly and stormed towards me.
"You are the most perverted, stupid, annoying, impossible, irritating, frustrating boy in THE WHOLE WORLD!" She shouted right at my face.
"Yeah?" I shouted back. "Well you haven't been a picnic yourself lately. You always find something to complain about and always blame me. Why don't you just learn to lighten up? Have some fun! You know if you open your eyes and see all the good things in life, you may actually be happy instead of the angry, bossy loner you are!" Shit. "W-wait that came out wrong."
Fanny just shook her head slightly. I saw tears well up in her eyes, just before she turned her back to me. "Let's… just get this mission over with." She said softly, and began to walk off.
I stretched out my hand. "Fanny. Fanny, wait!" I called after her, but it was no use. She just continued to walk.
"Should we bring out the crushing blow now"?
"No, patience is virtual. Lets wait a little longer…"
"Until they can't stand one another… that they end up going separate ways."
"Then… they're ours for the taking!"
