Anyone remember that spin-off story I did: "The Other Days" where basically this story was the weekend part of the HSD? This is one of those chapters. :P

Chapter 13: The Love Triangle
"So you will help me?"
"I'm not so sure..."
"Please! I beg you, she's really important to me!"
"Well..."
"Please! Really important!"
"Alright, alright I'll help!"
"Thank you kindly! It really helps me out a lot!"
"It's fine, just get ready while I get the flowers." Just as the two separated, one of them bumped into another person, or rather animal of some sort – definitely the species of the other though.
"Oh it's you! Can you help me please?!"
"Well actually..."
"Great! Can you go and pick up the flowers while I go and get ready? Thank you so much!"
"Ah wait..." It was too late though, he was already happily going along the way. "Gosh, why did I come here in the first place?"
"It's great to see you finally Yorkie," Sheri said excitedly.
"It's great that I get to be in this story!"
"Um... Are you breaking the fourth wall?" Will asked.
"Eh, probably. Everybody does it sometime."
"Well the picnic is over there, care to sit down?" And so that is what Sheri, Will, and Yorkie did.
"Did you make this Sheri?" Yorkie asked in amazement, "This egg salad just rocks!"
"Well, I can't take all credit; Will helped out too you know." Will gave a thumbs up and couldn't say much with a mouth full of the cheesiest Macaroni and Cheese.
"I didn't know you ran a flower shop Toadette."
"Yeah, I don't really tell many people about it. Except Toad, he knows."
"I think it's pretty cool Toadette."
"Really?"
"Yep, totally. Now as your costumer, I would like one batch of blue roses and one batch of red roses."
"Roses huh? Alright... Here we go! That will be twenty coins total please." He payed Toadette the twenty coins that were owed. "So, who is the lucky one?"
"Pardon me?"
"Who is the lucky girl you are giving the flowers to? It is that time of year, you know."
"Actually, I am getting these flowers for someone else since they asked me for my help."
"They?"
"Yep, speaking of one of them, here he comes now."
"Ah there you are! Thanks for getting the blue roses for me! Um... What do you think: white or dark chocolate?"
"For me personally, I would go with white chocolate (I hate both of them anyway)."
"Kewl, thanks! Can you please meet me by the park in a little bit too?"
"Might as well."
"Great, see you there!"
When he finally left, Toadette spoke up, "Well he seems extremely happy. Who is he trying to swoon over?"
"A girl named..."
"Ah there you are! I thank you for the red roses; now what do you propose white or dark chocolate?"
"For me personally, I would go with the dark chocolate (I hate both of them anyway)."
"I see, dark chocolate would be the better choice. It is settled then, I must go to the grocery store and buy some chocolate! I expect to see you at the park later, no?"
"Yes, I'll be there."
"Great, I will see you in a few then."
"Wow, you got your hands full," Toadette mused. "How are you going to help them both at the same time?
"Easy, both of them like the same girl."
"What?" She exclaimed, "How can you help them both try to swoon over one girl?"
"Easy, I know her and I do not think flowers and chocolates are going to win her heart that easily... Plus, I want to see her reaction."
"You would really do that?"
"Well, it makes two people happy and I get a laugh. So yes."
"Wow..."
It has been an hour later at the park, Yorkie, Will, and Sheri, now full from eating, were busily playing a board game.
"You landed on Boardwalk, now pay me $50!"
"Fine Yorkie! Here," Will said in defeat. "Stupid luck."
"Pleasure doing business with you!"
"My turn," Sheri said happily, picking up the two die and cupping her hand. Shaking them both for about five seconds, she released the die. One of the die landed on the grassy ground. She grunted a little to pick it up, but unknown to her another hand was also reaching for them and at the end of the journey both hands met; Sheri's head went up, and then a shriek occurred. It scared everyone within the vicinity, but only for a moment.
"S-S-Shadow!"
"Sheri!"
"Well, isn't this touching," Rouge commented under her breath.
Not so far off...
"You'll be fine, just go over there and give her the gifts."
"Are you sure this will work? I mean, I don't think she will like these..."
"You're talking nonsense; now go. I'll be right behind you."
"Thanks," he said gratefully as he began walking like a baby just experiencing what it is like to walk for the first time.
This was already becoming funny, for me at least. I made my sneaky escape from him and ran across the wide open park without as so much as anyone spotting me. "Okay, she's right over there; now go and knock her dead!"
"Um, that is not a serious statement is it?"
"Yes, yes I am dead serious... Of course, I was acting sarcastic! Now go, swoon her; I will be right behind you."
"Geez, thanks! You're a real pal!" He looked the other way, at her, and gulped. "Wish me luck... I need it."
Meanwhile...
"I think I'll leave now Shadow." Rouge winked. "Play nice, will you?"
"Yeah, whatever. Just go and find your boyfriend already."
"He's not my boyfriend," she huffed. "That red echidna is too much of an idiot for me."
"That's what they all say."
"What does that mean anyway?"
"It means what it means."
"Which is?"
"Who the heck knows?"
"Hey Shadow," Sheri cutely cut in, twirling her finger around one of her ears. "Do you... Want to... I don't know... Go for a walk?"
"Yeah sure." His answer was so quick and sudden that an idiot can tell he was enthused; even the tone of his voice was slightly more optimistic – but only slightly. Barely noticeable, but definitely present.
"Play nice Shadow," Rouge said again with a smirk, before gliding off.
"Play nice with the gullible hot-head," Shadow countered, but Rouge was already too far away to insult Shadow. Sheri, on the other hand, was very eager to have her alone time with her crush as she tugged his hand and urged the slightly blushing Shadow.
"Ah, and she didn't even say goodbye," Will said in monotone, clearly more attentive to his task.
"That's alright." Yorkie shrugged. "If you love somebody, I guess spend as much time with them."
"That's cool. Famous proverb or something?"
"No, I just made that up like three seconds ago. Hey, you want to finish our game... Where's all my money and property?" Will shrugged, but you could clearly see that his stack of play money and properties were higher than everyone else, that and also not to mention he is the only player with a high stack of money and properties. Yorkie shook her head and smiled. "I guess that's game, set, and match huh?"
"For me it is." He grinned. Given the new circumstance, he knew something Yorkie didn't.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Take a look behind you."
So that's what Yorkie did, and she only smiled widely. "Hi Lemmy, what's up?"
"I see where this is going," Will chuckled to himself. He also veered away from the table stealthy, trying not to bust out laughing.
"Um hi Yorkie," he said excitedly, "I... Uh... I... Uh?" He completely forgot what to say; he was quickly becoming too mesmerized by her. The way the wind seemed to blow her hair at all the right angles, how soft her skin looked, how she stared so adorable at him, how...
"You alright Lemmy?"
The sound of her sweet voice bought him out of his awesome fantasies. After shaking and knocking his head – to which she stifled a laugh – he finally was able to present her his gifts: A banquet of blue roses and white chocolate. "I... Um... Thought you might these..."
"Ah, thanks a lot Lemmy; that's so sweet of you! I love the roses and chocolates!" And just as Lemmy was about to let his ego get the best of him, a strong wind blew and it caught one of the roses from the banquet. "Oh no," Lemmy squealed. "I'll get it!"
"No it's fine Lemmy, you don't have to do that." But her voice was unheard by his ears, he was already desperately trying to catch the flower that was quickly getting more and more out of his reach. "Come back here you," he shouted. Yorkie sighed, setting aside her gifts next to her. Next trying to figure out where Will may have wandered to and trying to fish out a piece of chocolate, she had yet another surprise of the day.
"Ah, the lovely Yorkie herself. It is a pleasure to see you again on such a lovely day."
"Ah Ludwig, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing very well Yorkie, thanks for asking..." Ludwig suddenly lost his train-of-thought; he was too focused one her. The way she smiled her smile sent goosebumps down his spine, he also knew how incredibly smart she is, the only person to score a perfect score on the first Biology test, the way she looked at him with her dreamy eyes his hands started to sweat, and then the sun seem to reflect off her so beautifully that she seemed to shine...
"Um Ludwig, are you okay?"
Ludwig suddenly snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh me?"
Yorkie laughed. "That is your name correct?"
"Oh yeah, it is..." He felt like an idiot, so he quickly took out his gifts: the red roses and dark chocolates. "Uh here, I saw these and thought you might like them..."
"Aw thank you Ludwig! You're so sweet, now I got red and blue roses plus white and dark chocolate!"
"Excuse me?"
"Here Yorkie, I got your rose back... Ludwig?"
"Lemmy? What are you doing here?"
"I was hanging out with Yorkie... What are you doing here?"
"No younger sibling, I am hanging out with Yorkie today... Wait a minute, did you give her the blue roses and white chocolates?"
"Yeah, and did you give her the red roses and dark chocolates?"
"Of course, my friend said that Yorkie would love them!"
"That's not true, my friend said my gifts were perfect for Yorkie!"
"Uh, who's your friend?" Yorkie asked the both of them.
"Chris," they said in unison, both shocked, along with Yorkie. "Really, he helped you two?"
"Now why would he help the both of you," Yorkie thought to herself before it suddenly and quickly hit her. "Oh boy, I can't wait until I see him next time."
Both of the boys were suddenly terrified and love-stricken at the same time.
But there was no way Yorkie was going to catch me, at least not today. I was quietly up in a tree far away, just listening and laughing with Will as he told me exactly what happened.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! :P
