They
walked to the park and sat down by a lake that she, Scatter, Leeta,
and Ion used to go to as children. Okara was lying on the grass. And
Ion was next to her kneeling over the water.
"Can I ask you
something Okara?"
Okara looked over at him and nodded her head.
"Why did you go out with Trey in the first place?"
He asked while watching the fishes swim in the lake.
She looked
over at him," I thought that if I went out with a friend I would
have better chances of having a relationship that lasted" she
said as she was looking up at the clouds.
"I guess I was wrong" she added.
"I think you were wrong" Ion said
"You were wrong to choose Trey" he said as he looked over his shoulder at her.
She sat up, and threw a rock into the water.
"What is it that you and Scatter hate about him anyway?" Okara asked as she watched the fishes swim away from where she threw the rock.
"He uses girls, me and Scatter didn't want that to happen to you to" he said.
"So is that why you started a fight with him?" she questioned.
"I didn't start anything he told me that he didn't like the way I was good friends with you and he told me to stay away from you. When I told him I wouldn't he got mad and pushed me you don't know how badly I wanted to hit him".
Okara laughed," Well it's a good thing you didn't, you would have killed the guy!"
Ion laughed.
Okara lay down on the grass again and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes again and saw that the cloudless sky was beginning to fill with big grey clouds. She looked over to Ion and saw that he was now lying on the grass next to her. His eyes were closed and for some reason she couldn't help but stare at him.
She was thinking back to when she was 13 or 14 when she had a huge crush on Ion. But he was more interested in cars than girls then. She was thinking of a specific time, they had been swimming at Master Roshi's island and they were both tired so they went back into the little house that stood in the center of the island.
She was remembering how much she wanted to tell him how she felt for him, but she couldn't. She remembered the feelings she had for him. Suddenly Okara came back to the present time and began to feel those same feelings as she looked at Ion.
She saw a raindrop fall on his face, then another followed by another.
"Ion, Ion wake up!" she yelled.
It was now pouring rain and lighting lit up the sky while the loud sounds of thunder followed it. Ion woke up he took Okara hand and went under a tree.
"How long was I sleeping!" he yelled as a loud thunder struck.
"Not long at all!" she yelled back.
She began to laugh at the situation, they were both soaking wet and yelling at each other because of the sudden change in weather.
Ion looked at her, "What is so funny?!"
"Nothing Ion, come on we better hurry home!"
They walked for a while and stepped into a million mud puddles.
Finally Ion was fed up with it and he put his arms around Okara's waist and flew them back to Capsule Corp.
As they walked inside thru the back door they heard Bra and Scatter in the Family room. Ion walked over there as Okara followed. Bra and Scatter were soaking wet as well.
"Hey you two we went out there looking for you" Scatter said.
Okara and Bra were laughing, "We were at the lake" Ion told Scatter.
Bra took Okara's hand, "Let's go change our clothes Okara" she said.
The two girls went upstairs to Bra's room. Scatter was looking at Ion,
"What were you and Okara doing at the lake?" Scatter asked.
"Nothing, she wanted to go for a walk and we ended up at the lake".
"Oh really?" Scatter looked at him with a smirk on his face.
Ion blushed, "Shut up Scatter".
Scatter could see that Ion had feelings for Okara but he didn't say anything else.
It
was 10 minutes later and the girls came back. Okara and Bra sat down
on the couch. Okara turned the television on and started flipping
thru channels. She ended up on a romance movie.
"Oh, hell
no!" Ion and Scatter objected.
"Oh hell yes." Bra argued.
Ion and Scatter both reached to take the remote away from Okara but she passed it over to Bra. Bra ran across the room as the boys chased her, she threw the remote back to Okara who was still on the couch, she caught it.
And Ion was running towards her, she looked over at Bra and saw that Scatter had his arms around her body so she couldn't throw it back. Okara then saw that Ion was still coming at her so she put the remote under her and sat on it, Ion jumped on top of her and tickled her until she rolled off the couch.
He then took the remote in his hands," Scatter I got it" the two boys laughed and Ion changed the channel. Ion took Okara's spot on the couch, with Okara still on the floor he began to brag on how comfortable he was, just to make her mad.
"Ion move!" Ion laughed at her then moved over.
Scatter and Bra had disappeared. They went upstairs to her room when Okara and Ion weren't looking.
Okara looked in every direction, "Where'd they go?" she said looking at Ion puzzled.
He shrugged," There probably in her room doing stuff".
Okara giggled and stretched herself out on the couch kicking Ion's side; "Oops" she said acting like it was an accident.
Ion squinted his eyes at her he then drew his eyes back to the television. He changed it to a war movie. They both watched it until Okara fell asleep. When the movie finished he saw that it was close to midnight. He then saw that she had fallen asleep. He reached over to push her but she was out cold.
Ion was starting to get real sleepy.
He fell asleep next to Okara on the couch and they ended up sleeping there for the night.
