A/N: Sorry! I would've updated Monday or early Tuesday morning, but my cousin's leave ended and Monday was his last in the states so we treated him and I had to get up EXTRA early Tuesday to see my cousin leave (T-T) and was up and out of the house the rest of the day. T-T, which stunk cause, I hadn't eaten any breakfast so I went all day with out food.
ECLIPSE: Oh SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH THE STORY, STUPID! AND PLAY MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE SONGS!
E: SORRY! Geez, touchy today aren't you? By the way dear readers, underlined is Atlantis speaking and the italics are Shmee.
Eclipse: GRRRRRRRRRRR……….
E: Uh-oh. O.o
Chapter 5
Shmee remembers
Johnny sat on his roof, staring at the stars. Squee was already in bed, hopefully asleep. A light turned on in Squee's old room. Johnny almost fell of the roof. Eclipse was there, in a black sports bra and skeleton shorts. She was staring at a bookshelf. She ran a long finger over the books and pulled one out. Johnny forced himself to look away. He turned back to the stars.
"Hey! How's the view? Pleasant, I hope."
Johnny gasped and looked over the edge. Eclipse was leaning out the window, smirking at him. He almost fainted. "How'd you know I was up here?"
"I heard you when you almost fell off when I first walked in the room."
"Oh."
Eclipse turned back to the room. Johnny noticed a shimmering, curved sword on the wall above the door. Underneath was a plaque; written on were strange words, one of which he knew. "Ciel", it was French for heaven. The others were "geliefde" and "veszélyes". Eclipse glanced over her shoulder. "Like it? The plague says 'Heaven's dangerous lover'."
Eclipse went to the other side of the room and sat in the hammock. Johnny guessed that the hammock was her bed. Eclipse rocked back and forth lazily, reading the book. Roz came in, dressed in , carrying Pepito. Roz put Pepito on the hammock next to Eclipse, where he promptly curled up and fell asleep. Roz's mouth moved and Johnny leaned over the edge of the bed.
"Lah? Es achman mi to?"
"Hai. Pero, es redtion."
"Aah! Tu es retoned el theory afeda. WHICH MEANS THE GUY LEANING OVER HIS ROOF IS GOING TO FALL IN THE BUSHES!"
Johnny gasped as he felt an unseen force start to pull him head first in the bushes.
"Nah!"
The pulling stopped. Johnny looked up. They were speaking in English now.
"The little boy, he is…in danger? Because of me?"
"Yes…and no. He is in danger, but not because of you."
Johnny leaned over more.
"Oh…okay."
"What were the terms?"
"I admit I miss him or the boy will…………….go…. insane."
Johnny frowned. Boy? Did she mean Squee? And who's him?
"Johnny? Shouldn't you check on Squee?"
He jumped and looked at Eclipse. She stared back, her green eyes burning into his.
"Yeah…I should."
Squee whimpered. He heard soft whispers from outside his window, and he got the impression the whispers were about him. He pulled the covers above his head and prayed for Johnny to come in. Johnny slipped in and started to pull off Squee's blankets.
"Squeegee, you can suffocate yourself that way."
Squee whimpered and pulled the blankets. Johnny pulled them from off his head.
"Don't worry Squee, I'm here. I wont let anything hurt you." Johnny stepped across the room and picked up Shmee from the chair. "Here's Shmee. Be good and go to sleep Squee. Ill plug in your nightlight, Okay?"
"Okay."
Johnny pecked the boy's forehead and left the room. Squee hugged Shmee close to him.
"The ladies next door are really pretty. And so was the pink haired lady. But…their eyes. They smiled, but their eyes didn't. Their eyes are sad…very sad."
Maybe they feel guilty for the death of a friend?
"No. When the lady with green eyes saw Nny, she looked like she was going to cry for a second. But then she smiled."
That wasn't a smile it was a grimace. Maybe, Johnny looked like some one important to her…"Maybe Shmee. I just hope, nothing bad happens to them."
Shmee didn't answer. He was thinking. Back to when he was happy. Shmee looked up at Squee. The boy was fast asleep.
Shmee sighed. He still got letters from Atlantis, his home. A single tear rolled down the bears face. Atlantis…. it was beautiful. Everything was clean…. Everyone was kind…well almost everyone. The bear frowned. He was struggling to remember a face. All he could see were dark gold eyes. The bear sat up. THAT'S IT! Eclipse should have tons of pictures of Atlantis! So would all of them!
Shmee frowned and then the bear flopped back, empty of a soul. The soul frowned. OKAY! Lets see if I remember what I used to look like. He closed his eyes and Thought. Red eyes, dark, olive skin, handsome face, dark hair…. when Shmee opened his eyes, he looked like his old self again. Man, I used to be HOT!
He slipped out of the room and floated across to the other house. Eclipse was asleep; Pepito curled up next to her. Man, her pajamas are cool. Shmee snorted and looked around. He zeroed in on a thick photo album. He reached out and pulled the photo album from its place. He then left the room and went to Roz's. She was curled up on a Japanese like mat snoring softly. He took the photo album from her room to and the one from Nyasha. He went back to Squee. He settled him self and pulled Eclipse's photo album closer to him. He flipped open the cover and gasped. It was he and Roz. And Eclipse, Nyasha, Kygri…everyone. Including…. Johnny?
NO! That's not Johnny. That's…. Moon Glimmer!
He whimpered as the face stared up at him. He remembered. He remembered every thing… why the others were sad, why Eclipse almost cried when she saw Johnny, why he was so jealous.
I can't believe it…. Why must he haunt me? Why…was it something I did? Why… How did my best friend die?
OOH! CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, when Shmee was alive, his name was Darkness.
Shmee: Then WHY am I known as Shmee?
E: cause I said so!
Eclipse: Why did it have to be this one to create me?
Kumori: Cause your another her?
Nyasha: I don't know. I'm based off the best friend and so are the rest of us.
E: Oh hush. Pulls out pencil and Erases Eclipse and Nyasha's mouth. Remember, you both started out as drawings. Pretty good ones if I say so myself.
