(Another Gizelvin one.)
"And look, we're going to be attacked by pirates!" Gizmo sighed and rolled his eyes. "Melvin. Aren't you a little OLD to be playing pretend?" Melvin hopped down the slide.
The two were playing on a playground- in other words, Melvin was creating stories in her head and pretending they were somewhere else (yesterday she was climbing Mount Everest and nearly fell off the top of the tube slide) and today, she was piloting the great ship Titan, which Gizmo said was dumb.
Melvin sighed and said, "No. I'm only ten." "Well, when I was ten, I never played around, pretending I was on a silly ship." Gizmo scoffed. Melvin shook her head sadly. "You never were a kid then, huh?" Gizmo thought for a second, then shook his head no. "No, I guess not." He said softly.
Melvin looked sad and sat down next to him. "Well, why don't you try then?" She asked. Gizmo blinked in surprise, then scowled. "No way, what if someone saw me!" He said, waving his arms. "You look younger than you are. Might as well take advantage of it. I don't want to be a captain of a ship anymore..." She began thinking.
Gizmo rolled his eyes again. "You are just silly." Melvin wasn't paying attention and she snapped her fingers. "I got it! Instead of being a good guy, I'll be a pirate instead!" She reached into her bag and pulled out a paper towel roll that had been decorated with sequins. "I'm Captain Melvin! And you can be my First Mate Mikron!" Gizmo snorted. "No. Stinking. Way."
Melvin jumped in front of him and pouted. "Please?" She asked. Gizmo had a stare off with her for about three seconds, then said, "Fine... I'll be First Mate Mikron." He winced. Melvin cheered and said, "Alright... we have seized treasure from the ship 'Titan', who's captain is Robin and First Mate is Raven. Oh, and his girlfriend is Starfire, but she's back at home, waiting for Robin to marry her." Gizmo hid the fact he was cracking up.
Melvin cleared her throat and said, "Anyway, we have gold and jewels and chocolate chip cookies! Set sail for the east, First Mate!" Gizmo went up to the toy wheel up to the side and reluctantly turned it. "No, the east, silly. You aren't pretending well enough!" Gizmo nearly beat his head against the wheel, but turned it in the right direction.
Melvin remembered something all of a sudden.
Flashback!
Raven looked at Melvin. She was now pouting. "Melvin, are you having difficulties trying out your powers?" She said calmly. Melvin nodded. Raven walked over to her and said, "Try projecting your ideas into other people's minds. They don't have to be real, but if the person thinks they are, its just as effective." Melvin nodded and went back to work.
Raven went back to meditating and was actually pretty calm when Beast Boy started screaming. Raven walked over a bit surprised and Beast Boy was yelling over and over, "I'm trapped in a pink room!" Then he would scream again.
Melvin was cracking up along with Timmy and Teether. Raven walked up to Melvin. "I take it it worked?" Melvin nodded. "Make it stop now." Melvin nodded and Beast Boy stopped screaming and blinked a couple times. "Uh... what just happened?" He said.
End Flashback!
Melvin grinned and said, "Mikron, sit down." Confused, Gizmo sat down. "Now turn around and face me." He did so and asked, "Melvin, just what are you doing?" Melvin giggled and said, "Helping you play pretend."
She touched two of her fingers to his temple and concentrated on his mind. "Raven taught me this."
Gizmo wasn't sure what happened, one moment, he was sitting on the playground equipment, the next, he was standing, on a ship, and he was in pirate gear. "What the hairball!" He yelled. He heard a giggle and Melvin was standing next to him. She was wearing a little pirate girl's outfit with a giant black hat that was just slightly too large. Gizmo blew an eye patch out of his eye but it fell right back in. "Woah... Melvin what did you do!" He yelled. Melvin sighed and said, "Like I said earlier. I helped you play pretend. Now steer the ship right, there's an island up ahead!"
Gizmo walked up to the steering wheel and turned it. The ship turned accordingly. Melvin strutted to a giant box and said, "We'll bury our treasure there." She flipped open the cover and it was filled with sparkling jewels and gold. She used her telescope (which was now gold and studded with rubies) And said, "When should we reach the island, Mikron?" Gizmo thought for a second. "About thirty minutes, I guess."
Then something exploded and Melvin gasped. "Oh no! Captain Robin has found us! All hands to the cannons!" Literally, pairs of hands appeared and the cannons were made ready to fire. Gizmo chuckled. He didn't know how she was doing this, but it was fun.
The two made it to shore and buried the treasure. "There, now Captain Robin won't be able to get it!" Then she frowned. "I'm bored with this... lets be explorers!" The background changed again, and now they were in a jungle.
Gizmo didn't know how long they played. They did dozens of different scenarios, they went from the jungle to the desert to some place filled with pillows to the jungle again.
When they finally left Melvin's mind, it was late. "Wow, what happened to this afternoon?" Gizmo said, flipping around. "We had fun." Melvin said. They hadn't even moved an inch from where they were sitting.
Then they heard the most dreaded sound. "Melvin, you here? Where are you?" Melvin sighed. "I gotta go, I guess." She got up. "See you next week."
She began to leave and Gizmo said, "Wait!" He grabbed her shoulder. "Just... when are you going to choose a code name?" Melvin thought for a second. "Robin says I can't officially choose one until I'm thirteen." "How old are you now again?" He asked. "Just turned eleven today."
Gizmo smacked his forehead. "Then why didn't you tell me?" He said. "Simple. I didn't you to get me a present. I just wanted to play with you." Melvin said. "Oh." Gizmo said. He bit his lip and said, "Look... when you do choose one... could you choose 'Fantasy'?" He asked.
Melvin thought for a second. "It sounds cool, but why?" She asked. Gizmo shrugged. "Its just that fitting." "Melvin, where are you!" Melvin groaned and said, "Bye." She pecked his cheek, and this time, Gizmo didn't even blush, just smile. He pecked her cheek back.
Melvin blushed and almost stuttered. "Melvin!" Gizmo quickly ran off when he saw Robin and Raven in the distance.
(Its a love story, baby just say yes! This is so cute I am positive someones teeth will rot.
By the way, a precog is someone who can see bits and pieces of the future. I heard once that The Ravager had slight precognitive abilities.
Bye byes, PLEASE remember to review!)
