Glencow Chronicles

Previously on the Glencow Chronicles…

"I promise you that I won't hurt you no matter what."

"Can you really promise that Mark? Can you honestly say that?" Sara asked.

"Yes." He said reassuringly. "I can."

Now a few months later…

Sara had paid off all of her loan and had the best house imaginable. She had random pieces of furniture as well. Tom for some reason lied to the Happy Room Academy and said that Sara would love to do it. When she found out all of her hard work was worth a measly 28000 points she nearly died. Sara didn't care what they (Happy Room Academy) thought of her house as long as she liked it that was fine by her. Sara's thoughts were interrupted when she heard rocks flung at her window.

"Hey Mark! Stop before you break something." Sara laughed at him. Mark grinned sheepishly. "What do you want?" Sara asked.

"I dunno I heard that they finally have something from the outside world called Pizza Pizza. I was thinking I would take you out for some but if you would rather yell at me for almost breaking your window…" Mark teased. Sara slammed the window shut and ran down her stairs as fast as she could.

"PIZZA! I haven't had that since…" Sara let the sentence trail off. "Since my mom died." Sara's face grew slightly dazed as she let her thoughts wander. She was brought back to reality when she felt Mark's hand on her shoulder. She grinned. Over the past few months she had developed a huge crush on Mark but she didn't want to ruin their friendship.

"Cheer up I'm buying, remember!" Mark said cheerily. Sara laughed. Mark always had a way to cheer her up. Sara bit her lower lip as they walked to Pizza Pizza. She wanted so badly to tell Mark how she felt. She tried to convince herself it was just hormones, that she was a silly teenager, who if she was in her hometown would be getting her G1 license. "Wow the sign hasn't changed a bit." Mark teased.

"Nope, I wonder if there will be humans running it." Sara said nervously.

"One way to find out." Mark grabbed Sara's hand. Sara felt her cheeks go red. Stop cheeks! Mark noticed it though.

"Are you feeling ok?" He asked a hint of concern in his voice. Clueless. Sara thought. She nodded and they continued to proceed into the restaurant. (Well it's Pizza Pizza it's sort of a restaurant.)

"John?" Sara asked bewildered at the sight of someone she actually recognized.

"Sara! I can't believe it's you! How are you?" John asked green eyes sparkling.

"I haven't seen anyone from our old school for ages…I had to …" Sara let the sentence trail. "It's so good to see you again though! Oh I forgot this is my friend Mark, Mark this is my old friend from elementary school John."

"Hey, nice to meet you." John said extending his hand. "You're lucky to be dating someone as good as Sara."

"I'm not dating her!" Mark said shaking his hand. "We are just friends…" Mark bit his inner cheek. "Aren't we?" Mark asked.

"Um." She looked into his eyes to see if this was a joke but she couldn't find it. "I guess…" Sara gulped. "Yeah we are. Um Mark I forgot I had to do something at home… So I should get to it." Sara said.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" Mark asked. Sara shook her head.

"Bye Mark, bye John." She turned to head out the door. "John maybe if you want to drop by later…"

"Sure I will see you after my shift!" He grinned. Sara laughed.

"You haven't changed a bit." She said and walked out the door. "I hope those two will get along alright…" Sara shrugged off her worry and put her thoughts on to what Mark had said and how he had reacted when John said they were dating… "I wish he did like me…" Sara felt a tear stroll it's way down her cheek. "Oh well. I don't need him!"

In Pizza Pizza

"Well I guess then that I can still get Sara." John sneered. "It's good because for a second I thought you two really were dating."

"What are you going to do? If you try to do anything to her." Mark glared. "I'll…"

"You'll what?" John asked.

"I'll get Tom Nook. He's a crazy raccoon who will do anything to hurt someone…" Mark teased. John stared behind Mark. "He's behind me isn't he?" Mark nodded. "With the gun?" Mark nodded again. "Crack…"

"So you think you can make fun of me eh?" Tom asked in a Canadian accent. "Well come with me." He motioned for Mark to follow. "Or else…I might accidentally pull this on your friend…what was her name again." He said sarcastically.

"Don't hurt her, she has nothing to do with this." Mark stated. "Tortimer will find out about this. John will tell him." Mark stared pleadingly at him.

"John works for me." Tom laughed. "Now come boy, to your new home." Tom led him out the door. John stared after them.

"Now let's see it's 3 o'clock now so I better head over to Sara's." He smirked hanging up his apron. He then walked out of the sliding door and closed up the shop for a little. Out to lunch. The sign he hung said. He laughed bitterly. "Now let's see how Sara really feels about you."

Mark

"Where in the world am I?" He asked rubbing his head. It was dark so it took a moment to get his eyes adjusted to the dark room. "Wait this looks like Tom's shop! But…in the basement." He looked around for something, anything to make noise. "Great there's nothing here, guess I have to SHOUT!" He screamed and yelled furiously but there seemed to be no sound coming from anywhere other then he. He paused and heard footsteps.

"Don't waster your breath." Mark recognized the voice right away. "Now no one can stop me from actually killing Tortimer." Tom laughed. "Your friend Sara won't help since I'm holding you hostage. Tortimer will go!!! Then I can rule!" Tom laughed. "See you later Mark, I guess I have to keep you alive for a little longer." Mark listened to Tom laughed until the door was shut.

"What can I do?" Mark pounded the ground in anger. It was soft. "Dirt!" He knew it was probably unlikely but he would have to try to tunnel his way out of here. He pounded a wall and it was solid. "Guess I have to dig my way out from the bottom, I have to help Tortimer." He thought how ridiculous this was. "I have to help Sara." With that he set to his work.

Sara

She was washing up some dishes from her lunch, crying. She was such an idiot. She had replayed the Pizza Pizza scenario in her head and realized she should have said they were dating. He really did like her back. She heard the doorbell ring. She wiped her face on the dishtowel and hung it up to dry and then proceeded to the door. She opened it and saw John. She put on her cover up smile she had practiced for just in cases and let him in.

Grapes Rule: All right that is it for tonight!

Sara: What? Why? When? How? Where?

John: Hey Sara

Sara: Hey John…

Grapes Rule: I better let you two alone so long folks wait for the next installment of the Glencow Chronicles
