Alright here's the second chappy! It's a lot longer than the first one, I can assure you that. So, um, rate and review! The next one is going to be very short, unfortunately. This chappy is in Simon's point of view.

Chapter Two - Mixed Feelings

I convulsed and writhed on the restroom floor for a minute. I got an extreme sense of nausea, causing me to throw up the contents of my stomach. My vision grew hazy as the smell reached my nose. What was wrong with me? Why was I suddenly so sick? Oh wait…

My mind flashed; crazily beautiful images, wonderful sensations, and the inevitable feeling of throwing up all over floor. It was all him, he was the one that drove me insane. For the past three years I had such a strong longing for a special someone's touch, and now that he was here I couldn't do it.

Ugh, this was so one-sided! He couldn't possibly think of me like that, or anyone else for that matter. It wasn't like he could just have a family, which was impossible for all beastmen. But the thought of him being alone for eternity just broke me up inside. He needed someone, even if he didn't realize it himself, and I wanted, no, needed to be that person for him.

But it is still so one-sided, I thought bitterly. I rested my head against the wall, feeling completely deflated. Boota stared at me with a look of worry, probably wondering what was troubling me so much. I tried smiling at Boota, wondering what would happen if I expressed my feelings out loud. Boota seemed to have a questioning look, so I decided to tell him about my problems.

"Well, you see Boota, there's someone that I really, really like. But I don't think he feels the same way and it's just tearing me up inside. I seriously don't know what to do." Boota looked as if he understood me and my feelings. I smiled at the little pig mole. "You're such a good listener, Boota."

I was about to start thinking about him again, but got interrupted by the doorbell of the apartment ringing. I was puzzled at first, I mean, who would be visiting me? But then I remembered.

The party… I stood up and accidentally tripped over my throw up. Ugh, why didn't I throw up in the toilet? It was right there! I sighed at myself for being such an idiot, and then ran out the door. I was expecting to crash into him, but there was no one there. I quickly got over my surprise and opened the door, just to get a big kiss on the lips.

After she let go I coughed and spluttered, feeling the nausea from before returning, but for different reasons of course. "Oh my god I missed you so much! I can't believe you're back!" The woman, who I just realized was Yoko, squealed. I saw Gimmy and Darry standing behind her, smiling. I invited them inside, smiling also.

Sooner or later all the others started arriving in groups. I had invited them all in, and everyone seemed excited that I was back. After I was sure everyone had arrived, I looked around at the crowd I had created. People were chatting and mingling, apparently no one had really seen each other since I had left. I sat on the couch, exhausted from greeting everyone and getting a billion hugs. And then I noticed him.

Viral was sitting in a chair in the corner, making jagged bite marks in these apples he had gotten from somewhere. I saw that no one had really approached him, so I decided to gather up my courage and go see if he was alright.

"Uh, hello!" I mentally face palmed; I could have said something better. Viral looked up at me, eating an apple core, seeds and all. I stared at him.

"What?" He finally said after swallowing. "Is something wrong, Simon?"

My mind froze up. Wait, what was I trying to do again? I face palmed again. I had forgotten like an idiot. "Um, nothing's wrong! Just checking to see how you were, that's all. I think I'll go now…" I shuffled my feet.

"Uh-huh. Bye then, Simon." I retreated back to the couch. It seems like my mind had failed me again. I stared at the ceiling for awhile, completely lost in my thoughts.

"So Simon…" A woman said seductively. I yelped, completely caught off guard.

"Ah! Leeron- I mean, Yoko! Hi! Totally did not see you there." My mind raced. What the hell was her problem, scaring me like that?! She stared at me, and then decided to sit next to me on the couch.

"How are you Simon? Are you having a good time at the party? If not, I can make it so much better for you." Yoko licked her lips. I freaked out a little. I'd never seen Yoko so… seductive. I actually expected Leeron to be like this, but not Yoko. She leaned closer, causing me to back away, almost falling off the couch. She stared at me right in the eyes. "Am I scaring you Simon?"

Yeah, you are scaring me, a lot. I stared into her amber eyes, not being able to say a word. I tried thinking of ways to escape, but my mind chose the worst time to not work. Suddenly, someone asked, "Do you guys want an apple? There's only a few left."

Yoko looked at who just suddenly interrupted her. She glanced at me, then back at him, and then just kept doing that for awhile. She was probably trying to figure out if she wanted an apple, or if she wanted to do terrible things to me. Yoko finally caved in and said, "Sure."

Yoko and I ate apples in silence. She kept looking at me, but never doing anything, just eating. She looked kind of disappointed, probably at herself. As long as she wasn't trying to kill me, I was fine with it.

The doorbell rang, and everyone in the room glanced at the door. The ringing echoed throughout the room; nobody else was supposed to arrive at the party. So who could it be?
