Loud Universe ch. 5
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
"Oh, smooth move Ronnie! Now were in the ocean!" Shouted Lincoln irritably. Ronnie really wasn't listening, she was glaring at Connie's now exposed chest.
"No way those are real!" She snaps. "Hey just because your flat as a board, doesn't mean the rest of us are!" Retorted Connie.
This of course lead to another fist fight between the two girls... "I...I'm pretty sure I'm too young to be seeing this." Stated an uncomfortable Steven. "Speak for yourself." Said a now very intrigued Lincoln.
RUMBLE!
Everything stopped the moment the giant worm appeared. Everyone froze...then breathed a sigh of relief as the worm seemed only interested in the glowing algae-
CRASH!
This sense of relief vanished as the worm smashed into the bedrock, sending the bubble further down into the abyss...
The four children groaned as they hit the bottom...then quickly flustered as they realized they'd landed each other. The boys quickly scrambled off the girls(Well, Steven scrambled off Connie. Ronnie just punched Lincoln in the nuts).
While Lincoln grasped his junk in pain, Steven apologized to Connie. "I'm so sorry! I know this has been horrible, but it's going to be okay-
"It's NOT okay! You keep saying that but YOU don't know what you're doing! Now we're going to suffocate or starve at the bottom of the ocean and only my parents will notice because no one else- Connie starts to tear up -cares about me!"
Connie continues to cry and sits down. "I'm gonna disappear without ever making a single friend!"...suddenly the bubble starts to glow. Connie looks up as Steven offers her the bracelet
Steven smiles. "We can be friends. I saw you at the Boardwalk Parade last year. You dropped your bracelet. I picked it up, but then I couldn't find you. I saved it in the freezer so it would last longer, in case I saw you again."
Connie's eyes lit up in recognition. "Oh! You were the kid on the car wash float." She chuckles. "You had soap bubbles in your hair."
Steven blushes and laughs. "I was supposed to be a scrub brush. I'm sorry Connie- puts bracelet on her -if I had returned your bracelet back then, you wouldn't be stuck in this bubble with me now."
Connie blushes. "No, it's okay. I'm having fun."
Both Lincoln and Ronnie looked upon this whole thing with awkward discomfort(and a bit of awe). Now they knew that neither of them were experts when it came to 'relationships'...but they were fairly certain that they'd just witnessed something profound and heartfelt-
POP!
And then the bubble burst...
And the water rushed in...
