Author note: I own nothing! Thanks for the reviews guys. I didn't think that this would get so many of them! Also some of you seem to have some of you (Icicle) seem to have some issues. Just remember that this is a fanfiction. In chapter two i thought it would be cute for Marlene to have a crush on him. I don't think she actually has one but I laughed as I wrote it. Sorry for getting so mushy in the last chapter. I like things like that. Muchy cheesy stuff makes good comedy to me. And as for Marlene's comments in the last chapter she was angry and heart-broken. Conclusion jumpy.
*The Dare*
[Skipper's POV]
"What's so funny pervs?" I could hear the anger in her voice. I could also hear some hurt in her voice. I mentaly beat myself up saying Stupid! Stupid! Why didn't you just tell Marlene the truth or better yet why'd you even do the dare in the first place.
She steped fully into the light and we could all instantly tell that she had been cry. Her eyes...those lovely hazel brown-green orbs were wet and bloodshot and I knew that it was my fault. I had caused her so much pain. "Marlene I-" she interupted me, which I truely diserved.
"You what! Thought it would be oh so hilarious to make a fool of me! To pretend like you care! To laugh at what I thought was real! T-t-to *sniff* -t-to!" she was begining to break into uncontrollable sobs now. It was painful for me to watch this.
I walked of to and tried to comfert her, resting my flipper on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Mar-" I was cut off when I was suddenly knocked to the floor, a sudden pain on my cheek. That's when it hit me, Marlene had just slapped me! Pretty hard, too.
"Sorry! You're sorry! No! You're not sorry I am! I'm sorry trhat I ever met you! And you all!" she then took her tantrum to the others who stared in shocked horror. It reminded me that not many of them had seen Marlene outside the zoo. Nor had they ever seen her angry. She had always been cute and naive Marlene. Now she was a volcano erupting before our eyes. "How dare you all support this! This is sick! And do not pretend you were involved either! I heard some comments and I know who thier voices belong to!" She then glared at Ring-tail, Roy, Joey, Bada, and Bing, who then looked away whistling. A silence followed. "Skipper really what were you thinking? That-that I won't mind being used like! What were you going to do? String me along! Make me trust you completely and then spike a valentines day gift with-with-with a lust potion so that I'ld agree to do it with and then drop me like a fly!"
My eyes and everyone else's shot wide open at that last comment. That definatly wasn't cute and naive! I can't believe that she thinks that I'd do that! I mean she already explained her abstinence pledge, that she was still virgin, and all that. Not really willingly either. Lets just say that the boys and I might've scared her a bit too much when she first arrived.
"Mar-Marlene!" I said in a tone that I hoped showed that I didn't apreciate the accusations. Instead it probably sounded nervous...Not good in a situation like this.
"Skipper shut-up! If you just do me one favor do me this. Stay out of my life." She had stopped yelling and sounded truely hurt and...defeated. She turned to leave but quickly grabbed her paw. She froze, keeping her back to me.
"Marlene...please...let me explain. I-" She jerked her paw out of my flipper and left. She ran for a while before she began to sprint off on all fours. I started to go after her but something held me back.
I was suprized to see that it wasn't one oof the men but Maurice. He looked simpathetic. "Maybe you should let her cool down first." I sighed and nodded. He was right. She was to hurt to think logically at the moment. Then it started to rain down, fitting my mood. One thought echoed though my mind, over and over.
Why did I do this to her!
R&R! If you're wondering why I used Maurice to stop Skipper...that's just how I saw it. Remeber kids stay abstinence safe! Did I spell that right. Oh and Icicle you're a pretty good author too . I've read some of your stuff on fanpop. R&R! Poette out!
