Hi all! Here's the new chapter for Aphrodisiac!
WARNING: ABUSE OF GAY JOKES AND HAIKUS
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING WHATSOEVER. MARK WALDEN OWNS ALL THE CHARACTERS (except for Kellie). If I actually did own the series, there would be an overload of gay joke abuse in the series.
"Eyes that mock the sky
Hair like heaven above me
The true perfection."
Laura was starting to get very annoyed. Wing had been coming up with haikus about Otto for the past half-hour.
"Snow-white, cotton soft
Skin as soft as rose petals
My earthly heaven."
"HOW THE HECK DO YOU KNOW THESE THINGS?!" Laura screamed. Wing was taken aback, a slight glazed look in his eyes. Laura inwardly growled as she took a pad of paper and a pencil from a nearby table. "Please write those haikus of yours for now." Laura said, rubbing her temple as she handed him the paper and pencil.
"We haven't spotted the plant yet, professor." Otto told Pike. Said teacher sighed visibly on the screen of his Blackbox. "Well, you'd best find it soon. Let's just say that the headmaster is getting a little—"
A sudden crash and a scream of two scientists resounded from behind Professor Pike.
"Restless." He said, looking anxious. "We'll find him soon sir, no doubt." Otto said, not sounding all that confident. He flipped the top of the Blackbox down, cutting off his conversation with the professor.
"What now?" Shelby asked. "We've been looking for half an hour, and there still hasn't been any sign of the plant."
"How did that thing escape Nigel's lab anyway? I thought that the walls of his workroom were recently reinforced?" Otto questioned. "How should I know? I thought you were the geek here." Shelby said, smirking. Otto was about to retort, until he saw a scuffle behind one of the tables in the classroom they were in.
"The plant!" he exclaimed, catching his partner's attention. There it was: the tiny plant that had caused a lot of trouble in one day. Fortunately, it still had the three bottles of anti-aphrodisiac in its vine-hand.
Otto, not being very good at being agile, missed the plant when it jumped out of the way to safety. Shelby, however, caught the plant by one of its feelers, which tried its best to get away.
"Gotcha, you little piece of— HEY!" Shelby screamed. The feeler that she was holding on to had detached itself from the plant. Said plant ran away, disappearing once more.
"Damn it!" Otto said. He went to Shelby, who had thrown away the detached limb of the plant. "Now what? We still have to report to Pike, and most likely Nero." Otto sighed. "I have a feeling he won't like this."
"My undying love
For a white-haired soft angel
My life and my—
"OH WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" Laura screeched. "Didn't I ask you to write the haikus down, instead of orally torturing me?"
"Well… yes, but I sort of ran out of paper." Wing said embarrassedly, handing her the pad of paper.
On every page, there was an original haiku by Wing, all of them about Otto, or his love for Otto.
"Even if I'm pissed, you could actually make a decent haiku book out of all these." Laura said appreciatively. However, when she started to skim, she saw lines that she never wanted to see again.
"Hey, you two!" Shelby said, calling their attention from across the hall. "Oh crap. She shouldn't have—"
Laura was too late. Wing had already run across and jumped at Otto, screaming said genius's name while doing so.
"So, what happened to Wing while we were gone?" Shelby asked, walking towards Laura. Said redhead handed over the pad of haikus to Shelby.
"Blue eyes like the sky…Hair like the heaven above me… My undying love… Wow, if these weren't all about Otto," Shelby said, gesturing vaguely to their unlucky friend. "This could be a good collection of haikus." "I know." Laura replied. "I never knew Wing could get that creative."
"And… I was just wondering…" Shelby started.
"What is it?"
"Why don't we apply the antidote we have on Wing?"
"Well, to be honest… Seeing as he was dosed directly with the antidote, we have to wait for a bit before it can be less affective so that we can spray him normally. Since direct contact is more effective, we have to wait for the aphrodisiac to wear off a little to let it work. Either that or we let him breathe in the other bottles of antidote that should be released into the vents."
"A little— oomf—help would be appre—WING DON'T YOU DARE." Their Asian friend was still attacking Otto. Shelby sighed.
"If only I'd brought a camera with me; I could totally use this as blackmail." She said, sighing in defeat.
"Well, we should get Wing off of him." Laura said, gesturing for Shelby to help pull said Asian off.
Once they had gotten Wing off Otto, they headed to Professor Pike's lab. Wing was staying right beside Otto ("If he stays any farther away, he'll still get to you, so what's the use of making an extra effort?" Shelby said, with Otto growling), and everyone was worried.
"Nero's there." Wing said seriously, finally talking about something besides his love interest (Whose hand he was clinging on to). "What'll we do when we come in without the plant?"
"Hope for the best, I guess." Otto said, trying to pry his hand away from Wing's . His hand would not budge.
"Here we are." Shelby said, opening the doors of Professor Pike's lab.
LOL yeah, writing the haikus killed me. X.X
