The Date
Okay I've decided to add my forth character into this chapter. Scarlett, and even if no one else has paired her and Leonard together yet I'm ready to start something new with Pahkitew Island's nerds.
After an hour of conversation Topher and Ella knew each other quite well and were about ready to move to the next level. It's only going to result in a more successful relationship. They were ready to go out. However due to this still being a spell Leonard felt he should keep a close eye on them in case his serum wears off.
"So my prince." Ella began calling Topher. "Where should we go tonight?" "Well I'd love to go to Darwin's Food Safari except neither of us cope well with Sugar." Topher responded. Leonard walks in and interrupts them. "Oh Sugar got fired last month. She wasn't a very serious employee." Ella and Topher look into each other's eyes and nod. "Well I guess it's settled." Ella responded. Topher turns to Leonard. "Hey. Are you coming with us Leonard?" Leonard turns and speaks reluctantly. "I promised Beardo we'd both get a new game and play it for a few hours." "So is that a no?" Ella asks. "I can be there at 8:30 but maybe one of our friends could cover it."
"Hm." Topher thinks. "Maybe Sky?" "Sky works." Ella says. Leonard waves in their faces. "Oh no, no, no." Topher looked confused. "What's wrong with that?" "Sky moved today. She no longer lives near us." "Oh." Ella says with a sad look. "Don't worry Ella." Topher comforts her. "You have me, and I don't plan on ever letting you go." Ella cries a tear at this. Leonard on the other hand closes his eyes to hide this. "How about Amy or Sammy?" The wizard suggests. "Well they fight too much." Topher responds. "They actually both wanted to date me so once they started fighting I fled their house." "How about Dave?" Ella asks. "No! We can't trust that bastard!" Leonard yells. "He needs to grow up and realize what he can't get doesn't give him the right to throw a tantrum!" "I've got the perfect plan!" Ella sings. "Okay but be prepared for a serious storm around 8:30." Leonard says before they leave his house.
A couple hours later Ella walks to what looks like a deserted house and rings the doorbell. … No one answers. "Scarlett, you can come to the door its just Ella." Without pressure Scarlett comes downstairs and opens the door. "Hi Ella." She said in a sad tone. "Why so sad?" She asks. "I thought you knew." Scarlett said. She went back to binding her hair after Pahkitew Island but everyone treated her like a villain. "But that was almost a year ago." Ella said. "You need to get over it." "It's not as easy as you think because you're the girl that everyone loves. I'm just the hated person." Scarlett says while trying not to cry. "Look you may have done a bad deed. But if you do some good deeds maybe you'll regain everyone's trust." Ella's voice was slightly deeper than usual. "What would I have to do?" The brainiac asks. "Well I'm dating Topher tonight and we could use someone with your intellect to evaluate us. If you do then I'm sure Topher will forgive you. Then just work your way up from there." Scarlett held her head high like she used to. "All right then, friend?" She held her hand out. "Friends." Ella happily shoke Scarlett's hand. "What time?" "7:45" "I will be there." Scarlett said.
At 7:45 Topher had picked up Ella and they arrived at Darwin's Food Safari. Topher parked close to the front of the building. "So Sweetie. Who's the doctor you hired?" Topher asked as he turned to his princess. "Here she comes now." Ella points to Scarlett who'd walked here from her house. "Hi Ella." Scarlett waved. Then she looked at Topher shyly. "Hi Topher." Topher sighed. "Look I'm sorry for being so rude to you when we- "I don't need to hear it." Topher cut her off. "If anyone failed that time it was me. I don't like holding grudges though so I suppose I'm okay with you doing the evaluation." "Wow thank you Topher." Scarlett responds as they enter the building
After sitting down they were about to get started before a waiter comes to their table. "Hello my name is Gary and tonight I'll be your waiter. What can I get you to drink?" "Water." They both said. "Okay, how about you?" "Water's fine." Scarlett responds. "Okay and what would you like to eat?" Topher starts. "I'll have a cheeseburger with lettuce onion and pickle please." "Alright and would you like fries with that?" "Sure thing." Topher says. "And what about you young lady?" "A salads good enough for me." Ella responds. Gary turns to Scarlett. "How about you ma'am anything for you tonight?" "Oh I'm fine." Scarlett responds. "Okay I'll get your meals." He leaves.
"Okay." Scarlett grabs her clipboard. "Let's start this interview. Ella how did you meet Topher?" Ella smiles at Topher. "Well this morning I came to my friend's house and he brought me and Topher together." "Okay." Scarlett was taking notes. "Which friend?" "Leonard." "Okay. How did it happen exactly? How'd you have time to get well into a relationship in one day?" Topher shakes his head. "It wasn't that simple. Leonard casted a love spell on both of us." "A love spell?" Scarlett looked confused. "What do you mean by that- "Your food lady and gentleman." Gary places their meals down. "Oh boy! Thanks sir." Topher says. "You're welcome. Enjoy." Gary walks away. As they start eating Dave shows up outside the window and waves at them. "Hey. It's Dave." Topher points him out. Dave was giving Ella signals to come outside. Ella gets up. "I'll see what he wants." She walks outside.
"Hello Dave. What brings you here?" She asks. "Well I've been thinking, you know now that there's no Sky in this neighborhood that you might be willing to give me another chance?" He says grinning. "Well Dave I'm proud that you feel that way but I'm currently already taken." "Taken?" Dave was getting annoyed. "I've just unleashed my feelings toward you and you have someone you think is better?" (Inside) "Hey what do you think is taking her so long?" Topher asks. "I'll go check." Scarlett walks out.
"And now that she's gone you won't give me a chance?" Dave wasn't yelling yet. "Go in Ella. I'll take it from here." Scarlett says as Ella steps back inside still watching them talk. "What are you doing here?" Dave looks confused. "I'm here to wish Ella and Topher a loving future together. You've got a lot of nerve barging in like this." Scarlett responds. "Look I don't need you to tell me where I need to be. I want Ella now and if I need to get through Topher first I will!" Dave scolds her. Scarlett's self esteem was getting drained pretty hard but she keeps a straight face and spoke back. "You can't kill people! Killing is wrong." "Oh that's pretty tough talk coming out of a real murderer's mouth." Dave says while glaring at her. Scarlett almost cried. "What did you say?" "I said get out of my way because you shouldn't be allowed to interact with anyone from the island." "Hey!" Leonard ran in. Scarlett starts crying. "Okay then. Be that way. I'm not willing to stoop to your level." "Then get back to where no one can see you!" Dave yelled. Ella gasped through the window and with that Scarlett ran away crying. "You bastard!" Leonard yelled to Dave. "Whats up asshole?" He said sarcastically. "Stay away from Ella and you better watch your mouth around sensitive people." They exchange middle fingers. "I'll be back!" Dave says before walking away. Leonard looks Ella in the eyes. She looked worried for Scarlett. Leonard didn't know she would be here but he was kind of worried to at this point. "Scarlett! Wait!" Leonard shouted as he ran after her.
And another chapter is complete. The next one should be a lot more detailed for the plot. But for now I hope you enjoyed:)
