Unemotionazic Coma
Chapter Three: Happiness
…
(One week later after regaining the first emotion)
"Maybe it would be easier if we split up and did things that would make the girls happy. You know what I mean?" Drew asked towards the group of friends, who were all gathered around in the girl's guest room.
"Like, I would take Leaf to a zoo and you would take May to a carnival?" Gary asked Drew who was sitting on the bed.
The guys and the girls were all gathered around on the girl's guest bed, trying to think of ways to make the girls feel happy. Drew, Gary, Ash, Misty, May and Leaf were all gathered on top of the king-sized bed, while Paul was sitting on the floor and Dawn on a rolling, computer chair.
It had been a week since they regained the girl's emotion, anger, back. Misty had been finally relieved of her boot, Dawn's brace that was on her wrist had been removed, Leaf's stitches had been removed from her head and May's stitches had been removed from her back. The girl's, excluding Leaf, had to slowly gain back their athletic abilities.
Drew shifted his position on the bed as he spoke, "Yeah, what do you girls like to do?"
Misty, May, Leaf and Dawn all look at each other, emotionless, of course.
"I'm fine with going to a carnival like Drew had said," May said to everyone who nodded their heads.
"A zoo sounds nice right about now, I haven't been to one since I was about seven," Leaf announced while looking at Gary.
Gary sweat dropped, "So, you remember going to the zoo when you were seven, but you don't remember any of your friends, except for me?"
"What's your point?" Leaf asked while leaning back onto her elbows. Gary shook his head in exasperation.
"Okay so, I am going to take May to a carnival and Gary, you are going to take Leaf to a zoo. What about Ash and Paul?" Drew asked while glancing between Paul and Ash.
Paul shrugged.
"Ash and I could go to a Water Park," Misty suggested.
Ash grinned brightly, "That'd be awesome! Misty and I are going to a Water Park!"
Drew nodded and then looked at Paul, who then glared at him. Drew then started to smirk evilly.
"What?" Paul asked in annoyance.
"Dawn, what would you like to do?" Drew asked with much mischief in his voice.
Paul's glared deepened as he continued to try and figure out what Drew was getting at with Dawn. Paul then looked at Dawn, then Paul's eyes widened in realization and fear before answering, "Not gonna happen."
Drew looked at him with a smirk, "Yes, gonna happen."
Gary and Ash looked at them in confusion before Ash asked, "What's gonna happen?"
"What would you like to do today with Paul, Dawn?" Drew asked with an evil smirk.
Paul growled in anger, knowing all too well what Dawn was about to say.
"I want to go shopping," Dawn answered.
"Damn it, I don't want to go shopping all day with this troublesome girl," Paul groaned in frustration.
Dawn's hot pink eyebrows furrowed together, "What's wrong with shopping with me all day?"
Paul looked at Dawn with blank eyes, "I'm shopping with you all day, that's what's wrong."
Dawn opened her mouth to shout at the lavender haired boy, but was cut off by Drew.
"Okay, I'm taking May to the carnival, Gary is taking Leaf to the zoo, Ash is taking Misty to the Water Park and Paul is taking Dawn shopping, right?" Drew asked in assurance.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Drew continued with what he was saying, "All right, I only have two cars available and I'm taking one of them. Who wants to drive the other one?"
Ash and Gary's hands both shot up in the air, "I will!" They both shouted in unison. Paul just rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I don't trust you or Ash with my car. Remember what happened to your car, Gary?" Drew said looking at Gary and then turned to Ash, "and Ash, you already have a problem with toasting people's bikes."
Ash shouted in defense, "A bike is different than a car!"
"That accident wasn't my fault and you know it, Drew! That eighteen-wheeler driver fell asleep and pulled over into my lane!" Gary retorted.
"Ash, I will never let you drive my car. Gary, the guy had a sleep disorder," Drew answered back as he flicked his chartreuse hair.
Gary shot Drew a bewildered glance, "That's still not my fault! If the dude had a sleeping disorder, then he shouldn't be driving!"
"Whatever, Gary will drive the other car and you guys can just ride with either one of us," Drew explained as stole a glance at May, who was playing with her chest-length brown hair.
Drew tore his gaze away from May quickly before she had the chance to catch him staring at her.
"Well we need to ride with the people who are going to be around the same area and place," Misty said suddenly.
Drew nodded in agreement, "The carnival and the mall are around the same area together and the Water Park and zoo are around the same area together."
"So, it will be me, Drew, Dawn and Paul in one car?" May asked.
"Yeah, how long will it take you girl's to get ready? I have five bathrooms in this house, so five of us can get ready. All of us need to be ready to go by twelve and its ten-thirty right now. I usually take fifteen minutes in the shower alone and then it takes about twenty minutes for me to get ready, I don't know how long it takes you guys to get ready," Drew explained.
"Misty takes the shortest time to get ready and Dawn takes the longest," Leaf told Drew.
"So, there are eight of us and only five showers. How do decide who goes first?" Gary asked.
Dawn then stood up quickly from the chair she was sitting in with slight excitement in her body, "Whoever gets one first."
Dawn then ran into the bathroom that was located in the girl's room, leaving four more unoccupied bathrooms. Dawn then slammed the door quickly and locked it from behind.
Everyone then looked at each before jumping up from their seats, even Paul. Hey, even Paul knows when he needs a shower.
Leaf was the first one that bolted out of the door, due to the fact that she didn't have any type of injury that resulted in her not being able to run.
Misty and Ash were almost out of the room, but since they both tried to get through the door the same time, they got stuck.
"Move, Ash! You're in my way!" Misty yelled in anger while struggling to push through the doorway.
"Nu uh! You're in my way!" Ash yelled back as he tried to push his way through like Misty was.
Paul then came up behind them and abruptly grabbed their shirt collars and violently pulling them backwards, resulting them falling backwards onto the floor.
"You're both in my way!" Paul shouted in anger and annoyance as he ran down the hallway in search of a bathroom.
Gary then took his chance and began to run to the door.
"Oh no you don't, Oak!" Ash shouted as he grabbed Gary's ankle, making him fall forward to the floor, not letting go of his ankle.
Gary squirmed, trying to release himself from Ash's grip, "Let me go, Ash!"
May then slowly got up from the bed, in attempt to snag one of the two remaining bathrooms. She knew she couldn't run because of the accident with her back. May tried to quietly sneak out the door without being seen. She began to walk slowly backwards, so that she could keep an eye on the remaining people in the room, but was unaware of someone behind her.
Suddenly, a pair of muscular arms slipped around her waist and a warm breath was on her ear, "Where do you think you're going?"
May knew it was Drew's voice in her ear. For some reason, she started to feel a bubbly feeling in her stomach and she could also feel her cheeks warm up slightly.
"D-Drew, what are you doing?" May stuttered, which she didn't know why she did.
Drew's smooth voice continued to fill her ear, "Why don't we both get the two remaining showers, I know you can't possibly find one quick enough."
Drew's grip on her abdominal tightened slightly, making the bubbly feeling in May's stomach to be stronger.
May wasn't able to respond before the weight was released from her waist and was being tugged by her hand. Drew had a hold of May's hand and was walking her down a hallway. After a few seconds of walking, Drew and May were standing in front of a door. Drew then opened it to reveal his bedroom.
"You can use my bathroom, May. When you're done getting ready, just meet up in the living room," Drew explained before bolting out of his room in hopes of snagging the last bathroom.
May walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. She looked around in the huge bathroom and then looked into the mirror. May looked at the reflection staring back at her.
"Why can't I be back to normal?" May asked out loud to the girl in the mirror. She looked into the eyes of the girl in the mirror.
Her eyes were dull, like an ocean without its sparkle.
May tore herself away from the mirror and began to remove her articles of clothing. After removing her clothes, she turned her back towards the mirror to look at the scar on her back, which was hideous. The scar was about one inch in width and it reached from the top of her right shoulder and ended all the way down to her left hipbone.
"Ugly," Muttered May as she then jumped into the shower and cleansed off her body and hair.
…
15 minutes Later
…
May opened the door to the shower and reached towards the towel rack for a towel. She then could not feel any sort of towel. May then poked her head out of the shower and saw that there was no towel.
"I don't have towel, that's great." May said emotionlessly.
May walked over to the counter and looked in the cabinets for in search of a hair dryer. Successfully finding one, she plugged it in and blow dried her body and hair till it was dry. Luckily for May, her hair dries naturally straight and all she needed to do was brush it. May then looked in the pullout drawers and found a brush that she ran through her hair quickly till it silky smooth. Now, May is no fan of makeup, so she didn't bother putting any on.
Now, back to her main problem.
She still had no towel and she didn't have anyway of calling anyone to get one for her since she left phone in her room that she shared with the other girls.
Only one thing to do.
May opened the door that led to Drew's room and slowly looked around to make sure the coast was clear. It was.
May tip-toed into Drew's room and looked over and saw a dresser with multiple drawers to it. She then opened them up, one by one to look for something to cover herself up with. May then came across the drawer that held his boxers. May could feel that weird bubbly feeling rising back up into her stomach and she could feel the heat rush back to her cheeks. May shook it off and rummaged through them till she found a pair that was suitable for her. The boxers that she had picked out were a solid, sapphire color and since they didn't fit her properly, she had to fold the band around her waist twice, making the ends of the boxers reach her knees.
May looked in the drawers for a shirt. She then remembered that she didn't grab her undergarments either, awkward. May shook the thought of that and finally found the drawer of shirts. She pulled out a white, v-neck t-shirt and slipped it on over her head. She then walked back into the bathroom to retrieve her worn clothes.
May opened the door that led to the hallway and peered left and right to make sure no one was there. Clear.
May attempted to walk fast down the hallway, which was extremely uncomfortable considering that she didn't have a bra on. She just prayed that none of the guys caught her looking like this.
May realized, she had no idea how to get back to the guest room from Drew's room. That just made everything so much better for her.
May turned around, not sure if she was going the right way. She started to walk a couple steps and felt like she was going the wrong way. May turned around and abruptly crashed into someone's chest, getting a full intake of cologne which smelled amazing. An arm wrapped around her slim figure to make sure she didn't fall backwards. She didn't have to look up to know who was holding her.
"May, why are you wearing my clothes?" Drew asked in slight amusement.
May realized what she lacked underneath the shirt and violently pushed him away and covered her chest with her arms. Drew looked at her with confusion.
"I didn't have a towel or clean clothes to cover myself up with," May answered while refusing to meet his eyes.
Drew's eyebrows furrowed together, "So, why are you covering your chest like that?"
May could feel the unnamed feeling in her stomach and the noticeable heat in her cheeks again.
"I-I wasn't able to grab my bra or…panties either," May stuttered again, which Drew noticed.
Realization hit Drew, "You're not…wearing anything underneath…my boxers or…shirt?" Drew asked slowly as his cheeks heated up quickly.
"No, not a thing, just shirt and boxers," May answered still feeling the heat rise in her cheeks.
Drew nodded, trying to keep his cool, "You need help finding my room again, because it looks like you were having a hard time finding it," Drew said with humor in his voice.
May nodded.
Drew then grabbed May's hand and led her back to her guest room.
…
"Are we ready to go, you guys?" Ash asked in excitement as he bounced up and down on the couch beside Misty.
"Does everyone have everything they need?" Drew asked as he began to pack his wallet full of money for the carnival.
"Leaf and I are ready to go," Gary answered as he picked up a purple backpack from the couch and swung it onto his back.
"Paul, do you have my money?" Dawn asked as she ran her fingers through her neon pink hair.
"Hn," Paul grunted in response.
"Ash, did you grab sunscreen?" Misty asked as she placed a pair of turquoise sunglasses on top of her head.
Ash sighed, "Yes, you already asked me that five time, Misty"
"I'm just making sure so that we won't burn." Misty said in defense.
"C'mon guys! The zoo awaits me!" Leaf said with much enthusiasm and then replaces it with a blank look.
Everyone looks at her before Gary speaks, "Well that was weird."
"Who cares, let's get this show on the road!" Ash said in more excitement.
Everyone then grabbed their belongings and made their way to Drew's cars. Drew already had his mom's permission to take everyone out for a day of fun. Drew pushed the unlock button on the keys to his 2011 sapphire colored Camaro, while Gary pushed the unlock button on the keys to the 2011 ruby colored Mustang. Drew piled into the driver's seat, May piled into the passenger seat and Paul and Dawn piled into the tiny backseats. Then, Gary piled into the driver's seat, Leaf piled into the passenger seat and Misty and Ash piled into the backseats. Drew and Gary reversed the cars out of the driveway and started to drive away from Drew's mansion.
Both cars drove to their destination while dropping off the passengers in the backseats.
…
Ash and Misty both arrived at the huge Water Park, known as 'Under the Sea' and it was crowded.
Ash wore a huge smile of excitement on his face while Misty just had a blank look on her face.
"I'm so excited for this, are you ready, Misty?" Ash asked with much happiness in his voice.
Misty looked over at Ash, "Yeah, I'm ready. Look, we're next in line Ash."
Ash and Misty waited patiently as the people in front of them paid. When they were done, it was Ash and Misty's turn.
The guy behind the glass immediately set his sights on Misty, who had her orange hair let down and was wearing a sparkly turquoise bikini with a yellow, swimsuit cover up over the bikini with matching yellow flip-flops.
"Well, hello there pretty lady, how may I help you?" The flirtatious worker asked Misty.
Ash stepped in front of Misty, disabling the view that the worker previously had of Misty.
"Just two adult bands," Ash said with a stern voice.
The worker glared at Ash, "That'll be $59.99."
Ash fished around in his pocket for his wallet, which he found. He then looked at Misty who was attempting to hand him a twenty and a ten dollar bill.
Ash shook his head, "I got it, Mist."
Ash smiled warmly at Misty, who was replacing her money back where she had it. Ash then slid the money underneath the glass panel and in return, received two yellow plastic bands to wear on their wrist, resembling that they were supposed to be in the park because they paid. They walked to the security guards, who were supposed to search through their bags. After the security guard searched through their bags, they made their way to a set of lockers to place their bags in.
Ash and Misty inhaled the strong smell of chlorine and sunscreen. They glanced around to see multiple water rides and slides. They then saw a huge wave pool in the middle of the entire park. They could both feel the sun beating down on their unprotected skin.
Misty began to feel a rushed feeling in her stomach and twitching feeling that made her lips want to turn upwards, like Ash does all the time. She quickly shook the feeling away.
They finally reached the set of lockers, but before they could have a locker for the day, they have to pay up a dollar. Ash then reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet and took a dollar which he inserted into the machine. A random locker opened up, so that Ash and Misty could place their other belongings into. Misty kept two towels, sunscreen, and her small backpack so that she could claim a table to sit at.
Luckily, the tables were right next to the lockers. Misty and Ash walked over to an empty table and placed their towels and shoes on.
"Don't forget, Ash, you have to put on some sunscreen," Misty reminded as she removed her backpack and placed it on the table.
Ash groaned in annoyance, "Misty, can you put it on for me?"
Misty nodded.
Ash removed the tight black t-shirt that he had been wearing for a cover up. He was wearing a pair of red and black swim trunks, mainly red with some black colored trimming.
Misty reached for the top of her dress and began to pull it down till she was able to step out of it. She removed the sunglasses that she was wearing on top of her head and placed them underneath the towels. Misty ran her fingers through her hair, trying to straighten it up a bit.
Ash looked over at Misty, well more like gawked at her. Misty was gorgeous with her clothes on, but in her swim attire, she was a water goddess. Ash could feel his face heat up quite quickly. Misty was no longer the little runt with the chicken legs and noodle arms. She no longer had a flat chest. It was more developed, if you know what I mean. Misty also had a definite hourglass figure.
Misty could feel Ash's stare, so she turned around, seeing him for the first time that day with his shirt off. Her face heated up so face, she thought she was about to have a nosebleed. His chest was well toned and his abs, oh, his six-packed abs had the very visible line.
Misty was the first one to pull away from the gawking. She could feel the heat on her cheeks still. She had sudden urge to let loose a bubble of air, a laugh, maybe?
Ash looked away still blushing and laughed nervously and brought his hand behind his head, a habit he has had since he was little.
Ash broke the uncomfortable silence, "How about that sunscreen, Misty?"
Misty reverted back to her emotionless composure and reached for the spray can of sunscreen. Ash lifted his arms up and out, so Misty could spray his chest and arms. She motioned for Ash to turn around, so that she could get his back and the back of his legs. After doing that, he turned back around and clenched his eyes shut and Misty sprayed his face.
Ash opened his eyes and was handed the spray can of sunscreen, so he could spray Misty. Misty did the same thing Ash had done previously and was now completely covered from head to toe in sunscreen. Ash placed the sunscreen in Misty's bag and covered the bag with the towels, so no one could see the bag.
"So Misty, what do you want to do first?" Ash asked as him and Misty began to walk out of the sitting area and into the Water Park.
Misty glanced around and her eyes fell onto a tall water slide, the tallest water slide in the park by the looks of it. She pointed towards the blue slide that was a good walking distance away.
"That one, I want to go on that tall, blue slide," Misty said while pointing at the slide.
Ash smiled brightly before reaching over and grabbing her hand in his, "Then let's go!"
Misty felt the same sensation as before, go back to her cheeks. She could also feel her lips being tugged into an upward way.
It had taken them a few minutes to get to the super tall slide that Misty wanted to go on. They had to walk up over six hundred steps just to get up there and there is only one way down, no way are they walking all the way back down. They were now waiting in two separate lines to go down the slide at the same time, turns out, that there happens to be two tall slides. They were currently waiting, because the lifeguards were in the middle of switching shifts and the lifeguard covering this ride was on his way up the stairs.
Ash looked over at Misty, who was standing a foot away from him. She was unaware that he was looking at her. He noticed two tall guys standing particularly close behind Misty. The guys seemed to motioning towards her butt, which Ash noticed. Ash glared with hatred. Misty looked up at Ash because she felt his glare towards her. She looked at him and noticed that he was looking behind her, not at her. She then motioned her hand slowly to try and get Ash's attention, which she got. Ash looked over at her, with a faint scowl on his face. Misty motioned her hand slowly in a 'what' gesture. Ash then slowly raised his hand and pointed to the two guys behind her and made a 'C' shaped gesture. Misty looked at him and motioned the 'what' gesture again. Ash then pointed to the guys and then to his butt.
'They are talking about your butt,' Ash mouthed out to Misty, who caught what he was saying. She then felt her cheeks heat up, in anger.
Misty then violently turned around, bringing her fist up fast and powerful, punching one of the guys in the face. The dude clutched his, now bleeding, nose in pain. Ash tried his hardest to hide his laughter. Everyone else standing in line, looked shocked at what just happened.
"What the hell is your problem, you bitch!" The guy clutching his bloody nose yelled in pain and anger.
Ash glared viciously at the guy and stepped up to the guy and grabbed a hold of the broken nosed dude's neck. Misty stood there with her mouth slightly agape.
"Don't you ever, call her that," Ash growled in hatred as his grip on the guy's neck tightened, making the guy's face turn a reddish/bluish color.
The other dude steps up and grabs a hold of Ash's wrists, trying to pry them off of his friend's neck. A girl from behind the guy came behind Ash and tried to pull him off by wrapping her arm around his waist. Misty did not like this at all.
Misty violently pushed the girl off of Ash, "Get off of him!"
The girl glared at Misty, "Shut up, whore!"
Something in Misty's head went off, because before she knew it, she had two fists full of the girls hand and she violently threw her to the ground, making her roll about two times. Misty then ran over to her and lifted her arm back to deliver the first blow to the girl's face, but the guy that was trying to pry Ash's hands from his friend's neck, grabbed Misty's wrist and pulled her back violently.
"Ah," Misty yelled in pain.
Ash then turned sharply to the guy that had just harmed Misty, his Misty, his love. Ash then pulled himself away from the almost suffocated guy and walked over to Misty and helped her up. Ash then walked over to the guy that had just harmed Misty and pulled his arm back and violently threw a jaw-breaking punch, knocking the dude completely unconscious. Just in time for the lifeguard to see.
"What is going on?" The lifeguard yelled in anger.
Ash and Misty looked at each and then back at the damage they had caused. They both looked down at their feet, embracing for what was to come.
"Who let these three back in the park? They were band from this park last year," The lifeguard said through the walky-talky that was sitting on his chair.
Ash and Misty's heads shot up. Ash looked surprised and Misty looked emotionless.
Ash spoke to the lifeguard, "So, we're not in trouble?"
The lifeguard looked Ash and Misty and shook his head, "No, of course not."
Ash looked at Misty and smiled brightly.
"I do believe it's your turn to go down the slide," The lifeguard smiled.
Ash and Misty both looked at the lifeguard then at the slides.
"Yes!" Ash said victoriously while smiling like a kid in the candy shop.
Ash sat on the left slide and Misty sat on the right slide waiting for the lifeguard's signal to go.
After a few seconds the lifeguard finally gave them the signal to go and Ash and Misty both pushed themselves down the slide. Lying on their backs with their feet and arms crossed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Misty screamed the entire way down while Ash just laughed the entire way down.
They both hit the water with a big splash. Misty resurfaced before Ash did and they made their way to get out of the small pool of water they had just slide into. Ash smiled at Misty who just wore a blank expression.
"Oh my gosh, that was so much fun, Ash! Let's go on another one! That one!" Misty pointed with a huge smile full of happiness on her face. She pointed towards a ride that only allowed two people to go down on a double seated inner tube. Misty then looked over at Ash, continuing to smile.
Ash then grabbed Misty's wrist and gently pulled her into a hug.
"God, Mist. I missed seeing your beautiful smile," Ash said as he continued to hug Misty's wet body.
After trying to suppress the bubbly feeling she felt in her stomach, she returned the hug with a small smile on her face.
…
"I hope this place has a hippo," Leaf said in monotone as she looked through a glass window to see a tiger sleeping, "I've always wanted to see a fat hippo, a really, really, really fat one."
Gary laughed, "Yeah, it's pretty cool that they had a place for all the endangered animals, since pokemon pretty much wiped out most of the existence of animals."
Gary and Leaf reached the zoo about thirty minutes ago and they had already seen tigers, lions, various birds and snakes. They were now headed towards another exhibit of animals.
"I sometimes forget that some of the animals all existed at one point of time," Leaf as she walked along side Gary as they stopped in front of another wall of glass.
Gary and Leaf looked around in the glass to see nothing, for the moment.
Leaf leaned closer to the glass to get a better looked inside without her forehead touching the glass.
BANG!
"Ah," Leaf yelled in surprise as she accidentally banged her head against the glass and started to fall back.
She braced her butt for the impact, but it never came. Leaf looked up to see Gary with an amused look in his eyes. Gary had one arm around her back and the other hand on her stomach, preventing her from falling. Leaf turned her attention back to the glass to see a huge, black gorilla banging on the glass. Leaf felt her heart beat super fast and her body shivered, but not from the cold. Then she felt her head begin to throb in pain.
"Leaf, are you okay? Your forehead is a little red," Gary asked as he let go of Leaf and began to examine her forehead.
Leaf nodded her head and continued to look at the crazy gorilla.
"C'mon, let's go look at something that I think you will find awesome," Gary said as he grabbed a hold of Leaf's hand.
Leaf could feel her heart begin to speed up again and her face began to feel warm. From the painful head bashing, maybe?
Gary led Leaf out of the gorilla exhibit and to the outside part of the zoo. The sun was beating down on Leaf and Gary's exposed skin. Leaf had decided to wear a tight, green v-neck t-shirt and khaki shorts with green converses with her brown hair let down, while Gary had chose to wear a tight purple, muscle shirt with faded, ripped blue jeans.
After about a few minutes of walking, they were at the safari part of the zoo to see African type animals. Leaf could feel her heart accelerate even more and she wanted to let loose a pressure in her chest, which she ignored. They reached a zoo worker and asked them if they wanted the wildlife ride, it only costs a small fee, which they paid for, well, Gary paid for.
Gary and Leaf entered a windowless jeep, which had two seats in the very back of the jeep that faced outwards. The worker buckled them up correctly and entered the jeep and began to drive into the open field.
Gary looked over at Leaf who was looking around at all the surroundings. They hadn't seen any animals yet, just dead grass and some small drinking holes. He was hypnotized by this girl. Luckily, she had received her memory back after some medicine that the doctor had given her. He then looked at the leaf necklace that hung from her neck, which he had given her on her thirteenth birthday. They then hit a series of bumps and his eyes caught sight of something rather than the necklace that happened to be bouncing up and down.
'Stop it, Gary! You're at the zoo! Look at the animals, not at…those,' Gary thought angrily as he quickly tore his gaze away to look the dead grass.
Leaf then extended her arm and pointed her finger to something, "Look, Gary. What is that?"
Gary looked towards the direction that she was pointing. It was a small antelope, a baby to be more like it.
"It's a baby antelope, isn't it cute?" Gary said as he continued to watch the small animal gracefully leap around in the grass.
Leaf nodded and then quickly glanced over in another direction, "What is that one?"
Gary looked in a different direction and saw a huge herd of elephants.
"Those are elephants. There sure are a lot of them. What if they all came chasing after us and crushed us?" Gary asked in amusement.
Leaf looked at him, "Then we'd be dead. Oh, look over there. They're so pretty."
Gary glanced over to see a herd of tall giraffes eating on a tree, "Those are giraffes."
Leaf nodded before pointing, once again, in another direction, "Look, I've seen that print on Dawn's boots one time…" Leaf paused for a second.
Gary looked at her waiting for her to continue.
"Oh, that's awful, she bought boots that were made from a zebra," Leaf said in slight disgust.
Gary laughed, "I'm pretty sure those were fake, Leaf."
They rode around for a few more minutes just looking at the various types of animals, until the jeep stopped moving. The jeep stopped in front of watering hole.
Gary smile, "Hey Leaf, look over there, in the water."
Leaf looked over at the water and felt a powerful surge of what feels sort of like electricity, go through her body. She then released all the pressure in her chest that was continually building up.
Leaf laughed in pure happiness, "Oh my gosh, it's a hippo! A fat hippo!"
"Yeah, it's a hippo, just like you wanted to see," Gary said while smiling brightly.
"This is so amazing, thank you so much, Gary!" Leaf said in happiness as she hugged Gary tightly, which he returned.
…
"How do these look, Paul?" Dawn asked as she modeled a pair of ankle length, black boots. "Do they look good on my feet or do they look bad, or do they look too dressy? Maybe they look too under-dressy? What do you think, Paul?"
Paul groaned in annoyance, "They look like the other forty-six pairs of shoes you tried on already."
"Mommy, why is that lady's hair pink?" A little boy about five years of age asked his mom. His mom looked at me then frowned.
"Cause she has problems. Don't look at her," His mom said as she rushed out of the shoe store that Paul and Dawn were in.
"I don't have problems. I have a guy with hair dye and an evil mind!" Dawn shouted towards the mom and boy who were now rushing a lot faster, away from Dawn.
This has happened about eight times today, it was starting to anger Dawn, bad. Paul just found it funny every time it happened, but he didn't let it show.
Paul was sitting on a chair in the shoe store surrounded by about ten different shopping bags, while he watched Dawn try on multiple shoes. He had been in the mall for about two hours and he was tired. His arms were hurting, his feet were sore and he was pretty exhausted. The only good thing was that Dawn was able to feel the emotion happy when she entered the first store in the mall. Paul knew he was going to need to dress comfortably, so he dressed in tight black v-neck shirt with a pair of black jeans.
Dawn then took off the shoes she had on her feet and placed them back in the box. She was on the hunt for new outfits to wear to coordinate with her wild hair color and unfortunately, the outfits made her look a tad bit punk, not girly. Dawn was now wearing an outfit she had purchased from a store earlier that day. She was now wearing a tight, hot pink strapless dress with black tights underneath the dress. She had also bought some fake black gage earrings to put in her pierced ears. On her head, she was wearing a black hat and on her neck was a black choker. Now, she was looking for shoes to complete the punk outfit.
Dawn then went searching around the store and came across a pair of hot pink heels that she found perfect for the outfit. Luckily, they had a pair in a size six, her size. She grabbed the box and went back over to Paul. Dawn opened up the box and unwrap the shoes from the box and attempted to put one of the heels on her feet, but had nothing to keep her balanced, which made her fall…
…into Paul's lap.
Dawn felt her cheeks catch fire, like she was running a fever. She lifted her hand to her cheeks. She looked up at Paul, who had a pink tint to his cheeks and his eyes were widened in shock. Dawn's mouth went dry, she couldn't speak. She tried to look anywhere, but Paul's eyes.
Too late.
Dawn's sapphire eyes stared into Paul's onyx eyes. She felt something stir up in the pit of her stomach. She felt her cheeks get hotter.
Paul felt his stomach flip flop and his heart speed up. He couldn't look away from the pink-haired beauty in front of him. He felt like something was pulling him into her. If he was mistaken, he thought Dawn was coming into him closer as well. He could tell that the distance between them was only a few centimeters.
Dawn's heart was beating rapidly against her chest. She didn't know what she was feeling or what Paul was doing, but she liked it. Dawn could feel herself being pulled into Paul. She began to feel her eyes flutter to a close.
Paul had no idea why he is about to kiss this, troublesome girl. She does nothing, but annoys him. He didn't care right now, he didn't care at all. He wants her, now. Paul could now feel Dawn's hot breath on her lips and he could smell her intoxicating perfume that she was wearing. He then felt his forehead against Dawn's and he paused for a second. He didn't expect what was coming next.
Dawn then lifted her hand and placed it behind Paul's head, pulling his head into her, allowing their lips to finally connect in sweet passion. Paul was stiff at first by this action and then slowly loosened up. Paul then cupped Dawn's cheek with his hand and gently stoked her cheek with his thumb. After about a few seconds, air became an issue. They gently pulled away, both opening up their eyes with their foreheads still pressed together.
Dawn was then struck by an excruciating pain in her head. She then pulled away from Paul and jumped up to her feet while holding her head in pain. Paul quickly stood up on his feet and held Dawn steady, keeping her from falling.
"Dawn, what's wrong?" Paul asked with concern.
Dawn moaned in pain, "My head, it hurts, so bad, Paul!"
Paul felt so useless. He had no idea what to do. He could tell Dawn was in horrible pain, but he didn't know why.
"Why does it hurt, Dawn?" Paul asked in a gruff voice as Dawn continued to clutch her head in pain.
"Argh, I don't know! It hurts!" Dawn screamed in pain, catching some of the people's attention. "Paul, it hurts! Please do something to make it stop!" Dawn continued to yell in agony.
"I don't know what to do!" Paul shouted at the pained pinkette.
Dawn then release her head. The pain was gone. She looked at Paul. Then she looked around at all the people around her. What just happened?
"Paul, it doesn't hurt anymore," Dawn said as she looked up into Paul's eyes. Paul realized something.
"Troublesome, your eyes…" Paul said in amazement.
Dawn looked alarmed, "What's wrong, is my makeup smeared?"
Paul rolled his eyes in annoyance, "No, they aren't empty anymore."
"Empty?" Dawn asked in confusion.
Dawn then looked around at the people around her. She felt like crying.
"Paul, what's going on? Why are these people looking at me? I feel so embarrassed!" Dawn asked with tears beginning to wield up in her eyes.
Paul then turned to the crowd of bystanders and sent them a cold glare, which made them disperse immediately. He then turned back to Dawn.
"Troublesome, you got your emotions back, but how?" Paul asked, mainly to himself.
Dawn then wiped the tears from her eyes and looked down at the heels she had attempted to try on.
"I don't know, but can you buy me these shoes, Paul, please?" Dawn asked with a smile on her face.
Paul frowned and then sighed.
"Sure, why not?" Paul shrugged as he picked up the ten shopping bags and followed Dawn to the cashier.
The cashier rang them up to a total of $75.99. Paul took out his card and paid for Dawn's shoes, which she immediately put on her feet. They walked out of the store and walked over to a water fountain display in the middle of the mall. Paul and Dawn took a seat on the ledge of the water fountain. Paul placed the shopping bags down in front of them. Paul then felt arms being wrapped around his neck.
"Thank you so much, Paul. Thanks for taking me shopping today! I'm having such a fun time!" Dawn said in excitement and she continued to hug the lavender haired boy.
Paul growled, "Get off of me."
Dawn immediately released him as she felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment.
"Sorry," Dawn muttered meekly.
"Hey mommy, look! That weirdo has pink hair!" A kid yelled while pointing at Dawn.
"I'm not a weirdo!" Dawn shouted in anger, while Paul smiles in amusement.
…
"Drew, let's go on the Ferris wheel," May suggested in monotone as walked along side Drew.
"Okay, but this is our last ride, we need to go pick up Paul and Dawn from the mall. It's already eight-thirty," Drew said as looked at his wrist watch.
Drew then glanced at May, who was wearing a tight, fitted, red t-shirt with white shorts on. She was also wearing Drew's jacket, since the temperature had dropped so suddenly at night. May caught him staring.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Drew?" May asked as she and Drew stood in line for the Ferris wheel.
Drew then felt his face flush from being caught staring by May.
"Nothing, just looking at that bug on your shirt," Drew lied as he flicked his hair coolly.
"Ah, get it off!" May yelled while frantically flailing her arms.
"I'm just joking, May." Drew said with a smirk on his face.
May then reverted back to her emotionless state. She looked up at the giant Ferris wheel in front of her. She literally had to lean her entire head back to look at the entire thing.
"Does it feel weird?"
Drew's voice caught May's attention.
"Does what feel weird?" May asked as she looked at Drew, as they moved up in the line.
"Not being able to express your emotions like I can," Drew asked as dug his hands into his jean pockets.
May shrugged, "Yeah, it feels like I am blocked from not being able to do something, like a kid seeing a cookie that is on top of a tall shelf and he knows there cookies in it."
Drew laughed, "I guess I kinda relate with that, but I don't have big sweet tooth, so I can't relate that well."
May paused, thinking of another way to put it.
"Okay, it's like when you hear your favorite song on the radio and you have laryngitis," May explained again as they moved up closer to the front of the line.
"I don't really care to sing, try again," Drew said with a smirk.
May groaned in annoyance, "Hmmm, it's like having the girl you love right in front of you, but you can't tell her you love her."
Drew paused. Was she trying to hint something or was it just a coincidence?
"I can defiantly relate now," Drew muttered under his breath.
"Did you say something?" May asked as turned to look at Drew who just shook his head.
After a few minutes of waiting, they were finally able to board the Ferris wheel. May sat on the left side and Drew sat on the right side. They waited for a few seconds and suddenly were jerked slightly back, signaling the ride had started to move.
May's eyes and head were moving in all different directions. She was observing everything! All of the roller coasters and rides were decorated in lights and were lit up brightly. May looked down from her semi-high height and looked at all the tiny people on the ground. She could even see the little blinking lights that you can buy.
This amused Drew. He loved how May was so intrigued by the smallest things. She was like an innocent kid at heart. He felt like he had to watch over her, to make sure she didn't hurt herself.
The Ferris wheel stopped with Drew and May at the top of it. May and Drew looked at each before a big flash of color popped up above them, startling them both.
Another color and pop hit the night sky. They were fireworks.
"Drew, look, they're beautiful," May said as she pointed up to the sky. Drew looked at May and noticed she had a sly smile on her lips.
"Like you," Drew said unconsciously before he realized what he had just said.
May felt the same bubbly feeling she had this morning, return to her stomach once again. She even felt the same heat return to her face.
"You think I'm beautiful?" May asked quietly while tearing her gaze from the fireworks and now looking into Drew's emerald orbs.
Drew nodded, "I do, May."
May smiled and she felt a pressure build up in her chest and released it into a happy sigh. She then leaned her head on Drew's shoulder and continued to watch the fireworks that were on display right above them.
Drew looked at the brunette that was now resting her head on his shoulder. He couldn't believe how this day turned out. He then felt the movement of the Ferris wheel move. It went around twice, without stopping until it ended.
May and Drew exited the ride and made their way out of the park. After a few minutes of walking, they finally made it to Drew's blue Camaro. Drew unlocked the car and got into the driver's seat while May go into the passenger seat.
"Drew, I had a very fun time with you," May said as she smiled towards Drew.
Drew smile back, "I had fun with you too, can you text Paul and tell him we are on our way to pick him up. Oh, and text Gary and tell him to get Ash and Misty and to meet us at that ice cream shop by my house."
May took out her cell phone and texted Paul first. She typed out the message she wanted to send and then found Paul's name in her contacts and sent the message to him. Then, she texted Gary and then sent him a text as well.
To: Paul
From: May
Drew told me to tell you that we are on our way to pick you up now. After we pick you and Dawn up, we are heading to an ice cream shop!
She then scrolled down the read the text she had sent to Gary.
To: Gary
From: May
Drew told me to tell you to pick up Misty and Ash and after you pick them up, head to the ice cream shop by Drew's house.
After May was satisfied with her two texts she placed her phone in the cup holder. A few seconds later, her phone lit up, showing she had two texts from Gary and Paul.
She decided to read the one from Gary first.
To: May
From: Gary
Let me guess…you're hungry already? I thought you would've pigged out at the carnival.
May frowned at that. Then she read Paul's text.
To: May
From: Paul
Fat ass.
May yelled in anger, "Hey, I'm not a fat ass!"
Drew looked at her with confusion, "I didn't call you a fat ass!"
"Not you, Paul called me a fat ass!" May yelled in anger.
Drew smiled to himself. It may take some time, but he knew it would only be a matter of time now till she was able to regain all of her emotions and be the May he knows so well.
Oh how he loved her.
…
There you go! Chapter 3! I know that probably Paul was a little OCC, but c'mon, Paul kinda has to be. And the girls are starting to feeling bits and pieces of different emotions now.
Dawn has regained all of her emotions…hmmmm. I wonder how? :) I have a plan for this!
Thanks for reading!
Review, Review, Review!
I love you all!
