p.s. sequel to Ice cream

(this is in the authors poin of view)

Derek went through the revolving doors of the ice cream shop and stoped on the other end to take a look at the place. It was youre asic ice cream shop, candy stripes and all. Derek walked up to the counter that currently had a bald headed man with a long beard. He looked like somthing out of a prison movie, plus he kept shifting uneasily.

" What's ya want"? The bald man had a deep voice. It just added to more uneasiness. Derek looked around at the place and noted that the other people in the shop were uneasy. Also there was another man that had a tatoo going across his face, holding a mop and he kept glancing over at Derek. Thats when Derek figured it out, this was a-. Derek was cut off by the sound of a click, and when he turned back to the bald man, he saw that the man was pointing a gun at him.

" I'm guessing by now that you realized that this is a hold up". The bald man said with a smirk on his face.

Derek raised an eyebrow at him and grinned. " What kind of loser robs an ice cream shop". Derek said with actual humor in my voice. The mans face grew wrinkled and red. The next thing Derek knew, he had been struck by the butt of the gun across the face.

" You better watch your mouth boy". The bald man said, the smirk no longer on his face.

Derek turned back towards the bald man and smirked again, wiping blood off his mouth. " And if I don't"? The bald mans face wrinkled up again, but then he smiled.

" If you don't( he raised the gun up only not at Derek but to the side of him), I shoot the girl". The bald man said.

Derek turned around to see the one person he thought he wouldn't see for a while. Standing at the entrance of the shop was the pizza girl from this morning, only she wasn't wearing a pizza outfit, but instead she was in a dark t-shirt with a pair of baggy jeans. Derek and Shade both raised a finger at each other. " YOU"! They both said in unison.

Shade reached behind her back for her chainsaw, while Derek did the same thing for the Gorgon, but both of them realized that they hadn't brung either of them. " CRAP". They both said in unison again. They both walked up to each other, leaving the robber dumbstruck, and sarted arguing.

" Just what the hell are you doing". Derek asked with his fists clenched.

" I'd like to ask you the same thing, what are you, some kind of stalker"? Shade said pointing a finger at Derek.

" Wh-what"? He said stumbling back a bit.

Shade walked up closer to him. " You heard me". She said getting closer to his face, making him blush. " Are you stalking me". She said each word seperately like Derek was an idiot. All the while her face was getting extremely close to his. Derek, after getting his cool back, glared at her.

" Listen you-". He got no further as there were gunshots going off behind him. He turned around to see the bald man holding the gun in the air.

" You two shut the hell up before I freaking fill you with lead". He said with venom in his voice. Shade forgot about Derek and went up to the bald man not scared of him.

" Nobody tells me to shut up. Espicially some ugly, pig nosed, albino(?), midget, with a-". SMACK! The bald man had hit Shade across with his gun and she went to the floor. By instinct, Derek bent down to check on her, only to have the gun put against his head. He heard the sound of crying and it was coming from Shade. Right then and there, Derek felt somthing inside him change, somthing change for this girl.

The bald man pushed the gun harder against Dereks head. " Now, either shut yer mouth or-". The bald man was knocked back ten feet from one of Dereks punches and went through the wall(Irony). Derek looked at the whole in the wall and then at the guy in the corner. The guy put his hands up and ran for the door, and to the outside followed by the bald man.

Derek turned his attention back to Shade who was still crying and bent down to help her. She flinched away from his touch, so he did the first thing that came to his mind. He pulled her close to him and let her cry on his chest. After she was done, he helped her up as she wiped tears from her eyes. She looked up at him and he just turned away, pretending to interested in the hole on the wall. She then just turned and started to walk outside when she noticed it was raining and stepped back from the door. Derek noticed this and walked over beside her. " Afraid of a little water"? He teased at her. She made a pouting face at him and crossed her arms across her chest. " Of course not, I just don't want to get wet is all". She said with weak confidence. Derek looked outside then at her. He then took off his hoodie and draped it over her. " Hey"! She exclaimed as she tried to get the article of clothing of her. Derek finnaly got it on her and laughed at the sight. The hoodie was too big for her, as the sleeves would go past her hands.

He then walked out the door and onto the sidewalk. Shortly he saw Shade come up beside him. She looked at him and he looked at her. " Why are you giving me this"? She asked, indicating the hoodie.

Derek looked up at the sky and brought his hand up to his chin, as though he were thinking of somthing. " Because you said you didn't want to get wet". He said planely and continued walking.

Shade turned away and blushed. She didn't think he would take her seriously on what she said. She coughed and then turned back to him. " Well just because someone(cough) says somthing, doesn't mean you(cough) have to do what that person sa-". Shade began to cough more and more until she fell over on her knees and began coughing ruffley. Derek bent down to check on her, patting her on the back. Then she went forward almost hitting the pavement if Derek hadn't caught her.

" Shade, Shade"! He yelled trying to get her to wake up. When she wouldn't stir, he picked her up and ran towards Zims house with all the speed he had.

Authores Notes: Sorry for not having said any thing last time, but I was just not in the mood to talk. I see that no one decided to RR last update. This was written right after I saw Epic Movie, I don't recomend seeing it.
