So, this takes place after Operation P.A.R.T.Y.
We all saw that Cree was trying to kiss Maurice, which was really awkward.
I kinda wanted to get in his head a little, figure out what he might've been thinking after the party was over. Hey, I just did a title drop!
I don't own anything.
...
After the party, Maurice had gone home and ducked into his room.
There, he tried to process what had just happened.
He couldn't believe any of it.
Of course, he had seen the explosion that was meant to "bust up" the party, but he was still shaken from everything else.
He should've been used to seeing weird things by now, but he manages to see more shocking things every day.
His cell phone rang, it was Chad.
"Hello?"
"So, what happened? Did you find out anything?"
"Yeah, two things: 1. Cree was up to something but 2. It wasn't evil, in fact, it was just... I don't know... weird."
"Weird how?"
"Weird like trying-to-kiss-me weird."
"Whoa whoa whoa, back up. Cree was trying to kiss you?"
"Yeah."
"So, did you guys kiss?"
"What?! No way, man! I ain't ready for that yet, and besides, I thought she was looking for one of Father's weapons or something. I wasn't expecting her to make that move at all!"
"Dude, are you nuts!? You seriously can't be telling me that a hot girl, who is in high school by the way, likes you and tried to kiss you, and you backed off because you 'aren't ready'? What is wrong with you?!"
"Chad... I'm 13. I'm telling you I'm not ready for that yet."
"You totally blew a once-in-a-lifetime chance at being kissed by an older, incredibly hot girl! Do you have any idea what I'd give to have that chance?"
Maurice facepalmed, Dear lord, why am I even friends with this guy?
"Chad, look, this ain't about what almost happened between me and Cree. It's about the party. As far as I know, nothing suspicious was going on. But as you know, everyone did run off when someone saw Father return to the mansion."
"Anything else, Chicken Little?"
"I saw a potato explosion that the Kids Next Door had planned to use to ruin the party anyway- wait a minute, what did you just call me?"
"Bawk bawk bawk bawk baw-"
"Chad, shut up! Just because I felt uncomfortable being advanced on like that doesn't mean I'm chicken! You wanna know something? I kinda like Cree! There, I said it! I would have loved to kiss her had it been under less awkward circumstances! Maybe sometimes I wish she hadn't turned evil so I wouldn't feel so guilty about having feelings for the freaking enemy! Also, how dare you say that I'm lucky that a hot girl was trying to kiss me? Don't say you haven't been ogled and who knows what else by a bunch of girls, you could have anyone you wanted because you're a regular chick magnet!"
There was silence for a moment.
Then Chad burst out laughing.
Maurice rolled his eyes, "You are such a jerk, you know that?"
"And you... you are an idiot!"
Why Maurice even put up with Chad's inflated ego and ridiculous attitude was beyond him. How could he be more worried about Maurice "blowing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" than the mission at hand?
Sometimes he wondered why the TND even partnered the two of them up.
"Well, that's all I could get. As far as I know they aren't planning anything yet."
"Okay, I'll let the others know. Oh, and Maurice?"
"Yeah?"
"Bawk."
Maurice clicked his phone off before he could say something he'd regret.
With friends like Chad, who needed enemies?
...
Yeah, I know. It's corny. Please don't flame.
Numbuh 1: Unless, of course, you want us to send you to the Arctic Prison to cool you down!
Okay, Nigel, that'll do.
