Fight of the Century
"Atlanta, hey Atlanta!"
Atlanta heard her name being called a couple of times and started to stir. She sat up and looked around. Archie, Orlando, Neil, Odie and Theresa were sitting on the sand, watching her.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"Island," Orlando muttered quietly.
"And we'll be stuck here for some time," Theresa cried irritably.
"Shhh!" Archie and Odie hushed. Atlanta didn't get it.
"Why do we have to be so quiet?"
Instead of answering, Odie pointed to her left. Two giants were marching around, searching for something. "I don't think they accept foreign,"
Archie looked at Orlando. "Well?"
He looked back at Archie. "Well what?"
"Don't just sit there; it was you who got us stuck here!" Archie said furiously.
"Hey, I didn't know Cronus had giants patrolling the area. And I also didn't know that a tree was going to hit us." Orlando said defensively.
Archie snorted. "Yeah, right! And who was the one who said they could drive private jets? Who was the one who reassured us that the whole right was going to be smooth and completely risk-free? YOU!"
Atlanta couldn't handle it anymore. "Just shut up Archie, ok?" She cried out bluntly. "If Orlando didn't know that Cronus' giants were on the watch, he didn't know. And anyways, it's not like you could do any better, driving a jet!"
This stabbed Archie in the heart really bad. "Well, Orlando said he could drive a jet and we all put our faith in him but-"
"People make mistakes once in a while, Archie. Honestly Archie, you don't need to start that habit of making people feel bad."
"I don't have a habit of making people feel bad, I'm just frustrated that-"
"Archie," Atlanta cut in sharply. "This would be a wonderful time for you to do all of us some good and shut up!"
At this, Archie stopped talking. Theresa was looking amazed that Atlanta could speak so harshly, Odie was looking worriedly at Archie, Orlando was looking confused and Neil actually abandoned his mirror checking and stared at the fight going on between Archie and Atlanta with wonderment in his eyes.
Archie felt shattered. He already knew that he shouldn't have blamed Orlando and he always had a habit to talk before thinking. But Atlanta had basically killed him inside. It felt like knives to Archie, creating wounds in his heart. He had a sudden impulse to leave.
"I'm going for a walk." Archie mumbled so softly it was barely audible. He got up and without looking back, walked away.
It was too late. The words came jumbling out of Atlanta's mouth without so much of a thought as what would be the result. When Archie said he was going to walk, she knew he was depressed from her harsh words. She had an urge to call him back, to apologise but nothing came out. Her limbs didn't even want to move so she could run after him.
But that numbness in her limbs didn't stay for long. "Come on," Theresa seized Atlanta's upper arm and dragged her away from the group.
Once they were a good distance away, Theresa exploded. "How could you? Is Archie one of your best friends or not?"
"Yeah, I know but, well," Atlanta was stammering worse than Herry trying to explain why there was a peanut butter sandwich on Atlanta's pillow. "Archie was insulting Orlando even though Orlando didn't-"
"And you didn't stop to think that Archie always had a problem about talking before thinking?" Theresa interrupted. "I know that Archie was being mean to your boyfriend and all but he always had that problem and will continue to have that problem. You didn't need to hurt him that bad. It was how he was made, Atlanta!"
Theresa had this special ability to make her victims feel guilt and Atlanta was feeling guilt right now. She was guilty that she yelled at Archie. She was guilty that she made him depressed. She was guilty that she didn't even stop to think that Archie always had a habit about talking before thinking.
Atlanta made up her mind. "I need to find Archie."
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
"I wonder what's up with Atlanta," Neil murmured to Odie, staring at Theresa and Atlanta talking in a distance.
"Who knows?" Odie was careful that Orlando couldn't hear them but he still could hear their words.
Orlando didn't get it. He didn't care if Archie insulted him. He almost got Atlanta killed anyways. However, he didn't want Atlanta fighting with one of her best friends. Orlando always got a weird feeling in his stomach when that happened.
"So," Neil was lost for words as he tried to break the silence. "Who do you think is right, Archie or Atlanta?"
Odie stared at him. "What kind of question is this?"
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
"How are things?" Cronus asked the mysterious giant.
The giant snapped back. "Boring, when will I be able to start my plan?"
"In a while, once I've at least eliminated one of these teenagers." Cronus replied.
"What? You have them already?"
Cronus shook his head. "No, but they're almost in my grasp."
The giant scowled. "Remember about the deal, Cronus. You'll eliminate everyone but you'll leave-"
"-leave Atlanta alone," Cronus sighed, tired from repeating their deal over and over again.
"Correct, Cronus," The giant narrowed his eyes menacing at the god of time. "Otherwise, my victim will-"
"-will go back to his original strength and power." Cronus stifled a yawn as much as possible.
The giant scowled again. "I saw that, Cronus," He hissed piercingly.
Cronus shook his head wearily and returned to his other giants. "Have you found them yet, Agnon?" No reply came. "Helllllllllllllo? Agnon, are you there?" Still no reply. Cronus frowned and shouted. "AGNON, YOU TIN HEAD, WHERE ARE YOU?"
Agnon moaned and replied to Cronus. "Argh, finally, whenever I call you, reply tin head!" The brown-skinned giant nodded quickly and ambled off.
The god of time cursed midair and mumbled as he turned around. "Stupid giants!"
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
Archie was walking around, kicking a rock. So much for asking Atlanta to the Valentine Dance, he thought bitterly.
He stared at the blue ocean as he reviewed what she just said: "Just shut up Archie, ok? If Orlando didn't know that Cronus' giants were on the watch, he didn't know. And anyways, it's not like you could do any better!" "People make mistakes once in a while, Archie. Honestly Archie, you don't need to start that habit of making people feel bad." "Archie, this would be a wonderful time for you to do all of us some good and shut up!"
Gigantic waves formed on the ocean and the wind blew around wildly. A huge storm was due to approach any minute. Archie shuddered as the waters licked the sand, very close to his feet. He took a step back from it and stared at the ocean again. Half of his mind had this strange desire to jump into the cold water.
That's completely stupid, Archie. He scolded himself. I mean, the world will end if I commit suicide and besides, you won't be able to see Atlanta again if you drown yourself. But then again, she probably wouldn't careā¦
Archie looked around, nobody was there. He suddenly made up his mind. Archie took a deep breath and took off his sandals and his gold brace.
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
Ooo, I'm nasty! I got Atlanta fighting with Archie! So honestly, who do you think is right? Archie or Atlanta? Tell me through your reviews.
