Thanks for your comments!
Specially Nyhlus ; I 'm really not used to writing in English so I 'm still trying to deepen the way that I write . I really appreciate your observations! This idea just came one day and at the other day I had it all settle, but the issue is that imagine it is really apart from writing it. This chapter it was going to be way longer and way sillier, but I found a way I was more comfortable with it and I think I liked more than the other scenario.
Obviously Total Drama and anything from this franchise don't belong to me. Duh .
The food section is a road that drives you into the pool section and if you keep walking straight you would find the lake. In the sides there is a line where food stands align. The road is not so big however there are a lot of stands –not only for food but also fun-fair stands –, the smell of fried food and sugar is everywhere and not to mention that this whole place make me feel dazed but at the same time fascinated . It is like if it was enchanted, but not enchanted in a bad way, enchanted like … to make you feel happy, as a spell that send vibrations that cause positive emotions. No ... I can't just jump into conclusion, I have not even seen the whole park yet .But I am going to keep an eye open , after all what they say about magic do is true ; it corrupt you and when it does; it is too late .
The "Sundae galaxy" is positioned on the very end of the line and at the very start of the beach chairs. The same guy that had that conflict with Duncan was opening it. He look like if he would be about to burst. He raised the roll door and put both hands on the now visible counter; absent on his thoughts. I tried to read him but I cannot, his colors are unrecognizable. I wonder why.
I raised my view to have a better look of the sign: the background was a starry sky, the letters where white and babyish, and the logo was a sundae with three rings – like the rings of Saturn- . It was nice and simple; I am starting to like it.
The ginger boy jumped the counter and got himself inside. He's eyes found mines and now I could see that his face was filled with orange dots. Oh! Now I get why Duncan called him orange Dalmatian!
A small chuckle came out of my throat, my lips formed a smile, I try to stop it but I could not.
"What are you laughing at? " He asks me with a rude tone that made me nervous. He probably thinks that I was laughing at him. Was I?
"Of nothing! Just a joke that someone told me a while ago!" I lost a nervous laugh and bite my lip. He just looked away. I do not want to lie but I do not want him to know that I laughed at something so silly either. No ; that is not a good reason to lie, is not worth it...
"Okay, that was a lie" I continued. I do not want to leave things like this; I lift my light brown handbag to my shoulder and walked closer to where he was. When I note that he was paying me attention again I continued "I was laughing because of the name that Duncan called you earlier. I am truly sorry for laughing at something so unkind and principally for trying to hide it. I promise you that I would never do that again, please forgive me. I will do anything for you."
I look at his eyes. His blue eyes where starring at me as well but they were confused and they were looking for something "What the hell you say to me?"
"I ask for your forgiveness "I responded.
"Forgiveness for what? You didn't do anything that requires forgiveness. You just did something stupid and if people apologize every time they do something stupid, saying sorry would be despised... Now, I got things to do, if you mind? "He said as he smiles mockingly.
"Why are you been so rude ?" I shouted .
" Let's say that this work ruins my mood , now would you go bother anothere person ? " He shouted . Squeezed his lip watching me with hostility. Dominant ; well that is interesting but not enough to make me play the part.
"I am not going anywhere . " I said " I work in here now ."
He wink then took a big breath and let it out instantly " Oh boy " he shouted . He turn and started rummage through various boxes that were on the floor .
I take a look at the counter ; is all plane and closed to the ends . Where am I suppose to enter ? " So ... is there a door or a lever to push the counter . How to I ingress ?" I waited around three minutes for the answer but I did not ask again I know he heard me .
"You jump in " He responded , still without looking and still with that rude tone . I lower my view to see the counter again . If I would not be leaving the magic I would just snap my finger and in a split of second I would be in the other side , I could do it now he is not looking . No! I won't ! The only reason why I am thinking this is because I am so use to the magic that even jumping a little obstacle seems difficult to me but I know I can can do it !
I raise one leg and put it on the counter, and with my arm I pull my weight up , I got the other leg up so now all of my body was up . I turn my body so I could pider to land on my feet . Now I am down and inside . A feeling of joy took me .
" Yes! I did it!" I raise my arms to the sky . Then I notice that the roof painted a scene of the night sky ; filled of shining stars . It was beatiful. It is a shame that Scott ruined my moment .
"Congratulations ! You want me to applause you ?! " He yell at me . His tone was a bitter mix of sarcasm and irritation , What did I went wrong at ? He said that this job ruined his mood . Is he so unpleasant all the time ? I really doubt that the reason of his grumpiness is the work . Earlier , Duncan said something about the brunette girl named Courtney not being his girlfriend anymore . That means that he undoubtedly was once Courtney's boyfriend and by the little time that I have known Courtney ; I can say she was the one who end up the relationship , maybe he has not yet passed his amorousness and that may be the reason why he is so in a "bad mood". For some reason I cannot read his aura so I am just going to follow my instincts.
"Perhaps the reason for your rudeness is because of the frustration that unfortunately carries a platonic love." I replied . I am not expecting a good answer from him, I just want to unmask him.
"You just say that out of nowhere" He gave me that as an answer .
"Not completely but yes, I am guessing with what a see." I said. He came closer starting at me seriously. He has something on his right hand but I did not get to see it.
"And what do you see? " He asked and came closer. I had to life my neck to see his face. I can feel his breathing; is putting me nervous. I replied "I see a distressed and tired guy who does not know which direction to take but is desperate to know as soon as possible to stop making mistakes and take that road."
"What do you exactly mean with direction ?" I do not know if he is taking me seriously or not , but I can say a may assert.
" I mean ... "I took my breath." A sense . He is looking for something that made sense ... on this world ... for him. Something that made sense for him in this world. Am I right?"
"No. You are left "He said with a dumb smirk. He took my left hand and put a cap there . "I have notice. "
It look like I will stay with no answer for now . It is true though , I am left handed.
I tie my hair in a ponytail and put on the hat that Scott have to me, the one that said Sundae Galaxy. It has nothing to stand out . It just a purple and white cap.
I guess I am ready to work .
I asked Scott what I was supposed to do and he told me that I would be working with the cash register. From that position I could see the stand that was in front ; the same bright green and violet aura with touches of silver that a seen before . She was holding a camara on his neck and was pulling a one cardboard with two bodies: a man and a woman painted, but instead of head they had holes. The sign of the stand said "Silly pictures". That is not a clever name …
"Who is her?" I asked. Scott was organizing things in the fridge that was on the back "That's Gwen "He said and returned to get his head in the refrigerator. Then a loud music came out of nowhere; Gwen got scared and drooped the cardboard.
"Well … it´s look like the park it's already open "The music was laud but after a few minutes I get used to it. I hope .
I started to see people walking from to and fro. Most people where wearing shorts or just summer clothing.
Two children came, ordered, I received the money and gave them a receipt, Scott gave his order and walked away with their ice cream. Smiling. I have never had a summer job or a job in general. I think I am doing fine; but sooner or later I will have to learn how to make the orders myself but who would do that? Scott? No I do not think so. His aura may be difficult to read but I can clearly see that he does not like me. I need someone that had worked before on the Sundae Galaxy. One will think that the park's administrators will prepare their employees...
A girl came walking with a rake in his right hand and left some papers. I recognize her. She is the only one, that so far I know, that can help me.
"Courtney!" Scott yell ."How can I help you? Do you want an ice cream or something ? We have those ice cream sandwiches you like! " His face got a strange smile . From where I was standing I could see a few drops of swear making his way on his face .
"No thanks Scott . I'm part of the cleaning crew now so I have to have an empty stomach to hold my puke for all the puke that I'm going to clean ." She said with a face that more than sad was angry, like irritated .
" Is indeed a shame that so much beauty is wasted in garbage and treated like a simple maid " He shouted back .
"I do not think that the cleaning crew is so bad as you say . It is a big group and you all help each other . Sure can be weird to clean someone else's waste but is a job after all you don not have to like it ." I said and they both stared at me in a really comfortless way .
" If the cleaning crew is so "Awesome" and "full of friendship and companionship " , why don't you take it instead of me ? " She shouted with the same rude tone that I have seen before in Scott . It was not how I expected that she would react .
"Because destiny has choose me to work in here " I said "I will not contradict the destination, it's best to just let go instead of forcing."
Courtney grimaced. " Ignore her Courtney " Scott shouted . My face started to heat up. I bit my lip to hold back my anger."I wish I could do anything to help ya. "
"Actually . There's something you can do to help " She said .
"What is it ? I'll do it !"
Leaned back his elbows on the counter, with a coquettish pose. She blinked slowly to grab his attention on her huge and beautiful eyes." Well you see there´s a free spot that I´ve wanted to take for a long time. You see the plays that the park gives in the west side of the park?" Scott nodded." I found today that are looking for an actress to play the papers, so I went to talk to Blaineley and she gave me a script. All I have to do is audition! So you can say I already got the part, there´s no way for someone to pass me!"
I am getting tired of just been an observer. I sight.
"That's cheerfulness Courtney! " Scott said but Courtney interrupts disinterestedly "Yes it is! But there's a… problem. The audition it's now but Chef asked me to rake the leaves. I need someone to replace me while I'm in the audition, it I'll be just for now I promise." Now I see where she is going with this. Certainly she knows how to use her feminine charm.
"So you want me to replace you right?" Scott said. No he cannot do that, he cannot just leave alone here, I do not even know how to do the orders or can you run a shop just by charging and giving the change? No you cannot, if you could then business would not work.
"But if you are getting another job what's the point? Just send Chef to hell and take the audition."
"And risk to be fired? Nope. I want to tell Chef on his ugly face that I got a better job when I'm appreciated and then quit with honor!"Courtney yells offering the counter a slap with her hands.
"I f that's so… I'll do it. Just for you babe "Scott jump out of the stand and took Courtney's rake out of her hands as a carnivorous plant takes a fly. Ok it is time to break my still. "No wait! You cannot let me companionless! I do not know how to do a thing in here! "I break my silence and I could feel that this time the rudeness that I welcome last time was stewing in their eyes. I do not care if they are not pleasured with me, they seems to be very troubled people and that kind of people should be avoid, although that does not mean that I should not help them change, after all that is my aim; helping people change , if not why do I have such unmagical powers like aura-reading capacity ?
"Come on! You already saw me doing it!" Scott protested like if he was right.
"I saw you make one order that is not enough!" I said.
"Dawn you are an intelligent girl aren't ya? You can manage that just for a minute, it's not like if many people come at this hours. You'll be fine girl" He said and with his tone I knew they were his last words so I just lowered my head. Courtney thank him , he tried to hug her but she bounced and told him that she had to leave if she want it to have time to practice her lines .After she leave he kicked the ground with his foot to relieve him from frustration , making a click sound and raising some land soil .
So I was alone and with no idea how to do anything, like a kid lost in the cold world without his mother, like a little bird trapped in the ground with broken wings and broken hopes. I sight. As a foreign in a foreign country or worst as a drunk foreign in a Muslim country …
I begged the universe for no one to crave for ice cream today; it did not work. Ten minutes after the departure of Scott a group of four teenagers walk through the stand. They do not seem to know what to pick and as they were looking my heart was beating faster because I knew I was going to do a disaster sooner or later.
"So … what are the options?" One of the boys just asked me. I thought a bit before answering.
"Well we have , as said in the sign above us: Sundaes!" I respond with a smile to hide my stress, like a cherry on top of a melted ice cream.
"I meant the flavors genius "He said with bitter eyes. Wait I do not understand. Why is he calling me a genius? I do not recall doing something to be considered genius …
" Well we have … Emm Milky-mel , Shooting sparks , Chocolate satellite ,Mar's tiramisu , Saturnuts , Venusilla-"I said looking at the names in the table of flavors .
"Wait, wait! What kind of names are those? "The guy shouted." Don't they have to sound tasty? This one's just sound pathetic." He said and their friends started to laugh. This is what people call effect Domino; one falls and the other ones follow them.
"Well there are a lot of other food stands in the park, I am sure you would find one with a pleasant menu for you, Sir. " I responded while lifting my hand showing them the panorama, but they do not seem to care at all.
"We want ICE CREAM ""C'mon is your job to keep the visitors pleased isn't?" "Is it your first day?" The guys on the back were talking. I conserved my watch on the first guy eyes." If you really desire a sundae there are plenty of flavors here, perhaps if you stop criticizing the names you will found one that you like. " I told him, he did not say anything after that so I just continued pronouncing the names.
"Space strawberries" I said.
"Hell of a no!"He shouted.
"Raspluton "
"What the hell with that?"
"Ursa mallow"
…
"Wait! These one sounds interesting!" I cheerful said."How about Asteroids and chips?"
"You know … "The guy started saying something so I raised my head and look him in the eyes."Those names sound less stupid when you said it "
"Oh … well thanks, you really think that?" I do not know what he really meant with that but… "Yeah. BECAUSE YOUR STUPIDNESS IS BIGGER ENOUGH TO COVERS THEM "He shouted and their friends started laughing … at me.
I close my eyes searching for peace. Am I really the stupid one in here? That question is as unnecessary as that rude and senseless commentary. I cannot believe how empty this guy is, insulting people is just a way to tell people around you that you need help, I will have some compassion if it wasn't for the fact that he just call me stupid just for a valueless names. I could hear them saying"lol" whatever that means, then I didn't hear anything but a familiar female voice.
I took a breath and open my eyes to face them again; they were gone. Instead there was Courtney. In front of me.
"No thanks Scott. I'm part of the cleaning crew now so I have to have an empty stomach to hold my puke for all the puke that I'm going to clean." She said irritation. Like last time. What is happening?
I jump when I hear a male voice beside me; Scott "Is indeed a shame that so much beauty is wasted in garbage and treated like a simple maid" He notice the jump I did and that I had both of my hand in my mouth." What's wrong with ya'?
"Nothing I … I … I am just exciting. You know first day at job!" He look at me with his usual rude face, I felt like a big load falling from my shoulders when he look away; they continued talking.
The only explanation that I found for this is that I somehow broke my promise and use magic: unconsciously, and rewind the universe a few minutes ago … I cannot believe it I thought I had the situation in control but it seems that the guy affected me more than a though he did. Who do I make good out of this?
I think I have an idea "I will do it for you Courtney!"
"Do what?" She asked. I was not paying attention to their conversation so I could not know if they already touch that theme; guess not.
"Rake the leaves; cover you while you are at your audition "I responded." I will do it instead of Scott, who was your first option Am I right?"
"WHAT the HECK are you talking about?" Scott shouted right in my right ear then he moves his head to see Courtney." Is that why you came?!"
She stood with a puzzled face. When she started talking she was looking at me, completely ignoring Scott."You would do it for me?" I nodded in respond."That is so sweet of you! But … How in earth you knew about that?!"She asked me with both happy and messy expressions.
"SO IT IS TRUE!"Scott said mad but Courtney immodestly put her hand on his mouth and shut him. Leaving the word to me.
I am not going to tell them what I did because that will entail telling them that I am a wizard."Well you see I … have the capacity of … reading people's minds" I responded slowly. I said the first thing that came to my mind .
It is not true but this time I cannot remedy it. I will have to get used to lie.
Well that's pretty much with what I came with it; in the other scenery Dawn accidentally made a clone of Scott and yadayada at the end she didn't wanted to get rid of him so she turn him into a cat , that for my pleasure , could talk . I liked the idea but … that would have been hell weird; having a pet that can talk and plus is a clone of your partner, like what would happen to Dott ? If not-cloned Scott falls in love with Dawn but the cloned Scott don't cause he is a cat and I don't support zoophilia , that would have made no sense and that is why I descanted this idea .
I'm sorry for taking too long but I am really getting used to what I write in the document and how is going to look in Fanfiction :super-short.
But I hope you like it !
