Ehehehe, butterflies. Lol. 7th edit!
"Okay, team, here we are at the BUTTERFLY PARK!" the teacher, a plump bespectacled woman announced. Everyone groaned. It was their stupid learning journey.
Ash, May, Drew, Brendan, Solana, and Anabel were all gathered at the back. Ash was whining his head off.
"AWW CRAP! I HATE BUTTERFLIES! THEY'RE SCARY, AND COLOURFULLY DANGEROUS!" Ash whined, groaning every time the teacher mentioned the word 'butterfly'.
May was listening in amusement. Solana was devising her EVIL PLAN to get the two together with Anabel, obviously more interested in the ground than Solana.
Drew and Brendan were doing what friends NORMALLY DO, listening to Ash's complaints and silently nodding their heads.
"Ash, when did you start hating butterflies?" May asked innocently. Ash immediately stopped his ranting to face May, and then he sighed.
"It's a long story…"
"We DO have time, you know. That teacher of ours is talking about the history of butterflies. She's still at the Big Bang that created the world."
Ash sweatdropped at the teacher.
"Fine, fine, I'll tell…"
A 5-year-old Ash stumbled into the garden outside his uncle's home. It was big and beautiful, with tons of trees, flowers, and everything natural.
"Hehe…I'm gonna get a flower and give them to the pretty girl!" Ash cried out eagerly.
May cut his short flashback. "OMG, A PRETTY GIRL?! OMG, THAT'S HILARIOUS!" Then she started to laugh hysterically like a lunatic. Everyone stared at the lunatic May, and then stared at Ash.
"Uh…I don't know her."
May soon became sane again and hit Ash on the head for claiming that he doesn't know her.
"Move on with the story…the teacher's starting on the HISTORY of the big bang."
He giggled madly and blushed. Then he skipped off merrily, a lil' basket in his hand.
After not too long of skipping (Ash was a chubby boy and he wasn't really fit), Ash stopped to view the beauty of the flowers nearby.
"Wow…they're so pretty…but she's much prettier than them…hehe…" Ash blushed again and giggled madly again.
Ash was almost interrupted by May again, but because Ash was able to see it coming, he quickly covered her lips with his hand and continued when May's face turned into a more serious one.
"Lalala…" Ash looked around in glee. "What flowers does she like?" He looked at a bush filled with butterflies.
"Oooo, maybe Mr Butterfly likes the flower there! I can ask him for help!"
May struggled to contain her laughter, but there was no need to since Ash covered her mouth again.
When May was finally freed, she yelled, "CAN'T YOU THINK OF A BETTER PLAN TO SHUT ME UP OTHER THAN COVERING MY MOUTH?!"
"A kiss should do the trick, right? It's the most powerful thing in the world!" Ash muttered in sarcasm.
"WHATT?! OH MAN, ASH, YOU'RE SICKKKK! AND YOU COPIED THE PHRASE FROM THE MOVIE ENCHANTED!!"
"…Let's just continue."
He walked over to 'Mr Butterfly' and all his comrades, and then he started to say, "HI MR BUTTERFLY! HI BUTTERFLIES! HI PRETTY FLOWERS! Oh, wait, the flowers ARE pretty! YAY I GOT A PRETTY FLOWER!"
He shoo-ed all the butterflies near the flower away and plucked the flower. Then, he smiled at the obviously maddened butterflies.
"Hehe, I'm gonna ask the pretty girl to be my girlfriend with the flower!"
Those were his last words…
…last words of the boy who called random butterflies Mr Butterfly.
Within seconds, the whole butterfly group swarmed the poor boy.
May almost rolled on the floor laughing.
"So, did you ask the girl to be your girlfriend?"
Ash rolled his eyes. "Uh…she slapped me and told me to stuff the flower in my mouth. I stuffed it, but that made her angrier and she hit me so hard I swallowed the flower."
May almost burst out laughing again.
"Now, I call them 'evil things of the world'…"
"Ash, you're getting freaky."
"I know, that's just one part."
After a VERY long briefing on History, they all proceeded to the Butterfly Park.
A few things happened then.
Firstly, Drew got butterfly faeces on his hair.
"AHHHH! I JUST CONDITIONED MY HAIR TODAY! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"
Then, Solana tried to push May into Ash, but she ended up falling on Lunick instead.
"AHHHH! I HATE YOU, MAY! YOU'RE GONNA GET IT FROM ME SOON!"
Finally, the last thing was that Ash was screaming his head off.
"!!"
May, getting very annoyed by his screaming, grabbed him by his hand, calming him instantly.
"Ash, just relax. Look, I'll hold you so you won't be afraid. I got your back, and I'll stick with you through whatever, not run away. Face up to your fears, Ash."
Ash was speechless. He relaxed slightly with May firmly holding his hand.
"Look, a butterfly duo is coming…"
A bright red butterfly and a blue one fluttered around the two humans. Ash was about to panic when May tightened her grip on his hand.
"Somehow…this feeling I get…it's strange." He thought.
He relaxed a little, trying not to focus on the butterfly that rested on their interlocked hands.
The butterfly was obviously not smart, for it climbed up Ash's arm to reach his friend on top of Ash's head.
"GAH!" Ash yelped but May firmly held him down.
"Let it be. Don't provoke it."
Ash watched in fear as the butterfly approached his cheek.
To his surprise, the butterfly nuzzled his cheek a little, before taking off into the air and doing a mini somersault.
Ash and May laughed.
"So…how are butterflies now?" May asked curiously as they watched the two butterflies fly off.
"Beautiful…" Ash whispered. He shifted closer to May.
He brought his lips to May's cheek, before hastily whispering, "Thanks."
Then he quickly got up to his feet and ran off.
May blushed instantly. Then, she realized she was the last one to leave the area. "ARGH, ASH, WAIT FOR MEEE!!"
Woohoo. This author's message initially was about me going to Malaysia (no surprise there...) Now, I'm off to my school, where I stay overnight cramped up on wooden floors (as emphasised by a certain teacher) and then leave completely exhausted to Cambodia, peeps, where I do charitable work such as making the orphans there draw. I spent time on collecting pencils for them, okay?
Review!
