Hoagie did as what he was dared, directed from his leader- Nigel. Hoagie went into the hallway and froze at the wooden door with a giant 5 painted on it. From outside, he could hear music being played on a piano.
"Everybody needs inspiration, Everybody needs a song, A beautiful melody, When the nights are long, 'Cause there is no…gurantee…that this life is easy."
Hoagie knew that Abby liked music, but never played it or nonetheless played it.
"Yea when my world is falling apart, When there's no light, To break up the dark, That's when I, I look at you."
Hoagie suddenly felt a funny feeling in his stomach, like there were butterflies in it, fluttering away without a care. He also noticed that his palms were start to shake and sweat. How should he do this dare? How does he even know if this song was about him?
"When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth, You love me for who I am, Like the stars hold the moon, Right there where they belong, And I know I'm not alone…"
Hoagie heard the melodic music come to a stop of zero sound, until a clashing crash of piano keys. Hoagie knew he definitely did something wrong, he hardly made her tick- but when he did, he got nagged about it for a month.
Unlike with Kuki where a simple sorry makes her forgive you, you referring to Wally. Abby on the other hand had a low temper, her heart was not as open to the world as Kuki's was. Abby has a big heart once you get under her rough complexion, kind of like Wally.
Hoagie made a nasty face at the thought, comparing Abby to Wally- that was an insult to Abby in a way, regardless of Wally being his best friend. Abby was nothing like Wally, except a hard to reach heart.
Hoagie cautiously knocked on the giant door, there he heard a "Come in" from Abby.
Hoagie walked in slowly, noticing how dark her room was. Abby was already in her pajamas, a blue football jersey and red athletic shorts, laying in her bed reading a girl magazine.
"Hey Abbs," Hoagie said, unsure of where to start off to, "you looked kind of mad when you left the game- what gives?" he asked politely, sitting on the corner of her bed.
"It's just been a long night, that's all." The French girl said, with a tinge of sorrow in her voice.
"Abby, I've known you for to long to know when something is up or not, tell me. I'm all hears. Get it, like I'm here and I want to hear your problem." Hoagie said, causing a chuckle to come Abby.
"Boy, you know you ain't funny, most of the time. Thanks for trying to cheer me up." Abby said, putting down her magazine to talk to Hoagie more directly.
"Anytime. Though, Abby, is this "rut" you have because of what I said, about Wally?" Hoagie asked, blushing softly.
Abby, known for her honesty, replied, "Maybe."
"Then maybe, you'd like to know that I…understand. Abby, I want to let you know that…I like you…a lot." Hoagie said softly, looking into her chocolate eyes.
"What?" Abby asked dumbfounded, unsure of what to say- something Hoagie has never seen of her before.
"I said that I…Like you." Hoagie said again, nervously. His palms dripping with sweat and nervousness. Abby slowly pulled herself from under her bed covers and sat next to Hoagie on the end her bed.
"That's…good, because, Abby, I, like you too." Abby said, unsure of what to do next. However, Hoagie had the answer. He leaned in slowly and kissed her tender lips. Abby stared wide-eyed, shocked at what was going on here. Though, she liked it. She slowly closed her eyes to enjoy the kiss until…
CRASH!!!
The door quickly opened and there stood Wally, Kuki, and Nigel staring, and filming the moment. Wally was videotaping, Kuki was taking photos, and Nigel just gave a thumbs up to Hoagie.
"About time you two got together." Nigel said, aware of their discreet relationship.
"Yeah, now whenever you guys get on me for being a sap to Kuki- I can show you guys this tape!" Wally yelled victoriously
Hoagie and Abby drove apart from each other, blushing madly.
"If you ever show that tape to anyone but us, Abby will crush you to the equator." Abby said firmly.
"No, Abble Pie, allow me to." Hoagie said, trying to be tough outside his teddy bear charisma.
"Abble Pie…aww that's so cute!" Kuki said sweetly, staring at Wally seriously. "You need to come up with a name for me Wally." Kuki said with giant puppy eyes.
"Um…Kuki Monster?" Wally said, hesitantly. Kuki's response was more than he expected, she took him into a giant bearhug.
"Aww, I love it! You can be my Wallypop, come on…let's go create some more names!" Kuki said with enthusiasm, she let go of Wally and gave him a giant kiss on the lips for his "genious" lovername.
Wally, in affect, was struck with a silly smile on his face. "Okay…" Wally said, he slowly walked hand in hand with Kuki towards her room to create some names.
Nigel stood at the doorway, alone. "Well…I guess I'll leave you two alone…I'll go call Rachel." Nigel said firmly.
"Why, to ask her on a date so you aren't alone?" Abby asked with a mischievous smile, along with Hoagie.
"No…to ask her if she wants to play Truth or Dare with us next week." Nigel said with a small smile, going to his room to make the call.
"So…where were we?" Hoagie asked, once they were alone to kiss some more.
"Hold it Romeo, you told me that you liked me cause of dare?" Abby asked, unsure of the judgment of the situation.
Hoagie replied the best way he could, "In the words of Wally, they didn't dare me to hurt me…but to help me." Hoagie said sweetly.
"Well, who knew you could find truth in a dare?" Abby asked rhetorically, leaning in to make another kiss.
Aahh, I'm sorry if this is terrible. I truly tried, I wanted to extend this as some sort of a conclusion to the story or possibly the opening to a relationship between Rachel and Nigel. I hope you like it, thanks everyone for the reviews and faves, it makes me feel…special.
*Gives giant Kuki death hug to everyone*
Much better!
I may write a new fic soon, so hold out for it.
-Love, Kenge :)
