AN: Thank you for all the beautiful reviews! And oh btw, about the guest that said this should be Budlet instead of Synlet... I think I never thought of Budlet before... XD I think yea you can categorize this as Budlet... XD Anyway here's another one!
I keep my knives sharp
Dance around muscle groups like paper
Separate so neatly at the joint
Falls away easily if you follow my map
Embedded in each creature like dotted lines
And I trace these with my trusty knife
- Professional, Halou
Weeks have passed after the incident and now SU is back to normal. Every student is preparing for the Halloween event. Well, except for Violet and her classmates. Professor Sanders wanted them to finish their literature project two days before the event, which is literally grinding their heads. Violet is a big fan of literature but... there are times that she can't do it. Violet would crush her head in order to make a two line sentence in the poem. And the poem somehow has to relate about Autumn or Halloween. She stared blankly at her paper and she finally gave up, dropping her head on the table with a soft thud.
"Hey. Stop hitting your head." Buddy said. He was mixing something in the bowl.
"How can you love something and hate it at the same time, Bud?" she asked.
"What?"
"I just... I love reading literature but I hate... I hate making one. It's like creating a universe you know. Very complicated." she mumbled.
"Creating a universe? Then just blow things up or bang things up." he laughed.
"Very funny." she replied when he referred about the Big Bang Theory. Violet looked up and stared at the bowl he was holding.
"What're you doing?" she asked.
"Just... something." he replied.
"Are you baking?" she asked with a huge smile.
"What? No. Hey, go finish your own business." he said before turning around.
"Oh my God, Buddy Pine! You bake! That's so cute!" she teased.
"Stop it, Vi." he said, hiding his smirk.
"Y'know boys who know how to bake are like the most attractive thing in the world." she said, hands waving around.
"Really?" Buddy smirked. "So I'm attractive?"
Buddy moved towards Violet, face getting closer to hers.
Violet giggled and gently hit her shoulder and whispered. "Stop."
Buddy kept staring at her with his smug grin. Violet dips her finger and wiped some cream on his face.
She laughed as she saw the reaction on Buddy's face.
"Oh, you wanna play?" Buddy said as he dipped his own finger. Violet got off her seat and ran away from him, laughing.
"Buddy, stop!"
"You started it, Parr!" he chuckled. They race around the sala. Violet letting out squeals whenever Buddy was getting near her.
When he finally caught her, Buddy wrapped his arm around Violet waist and wiped the cream on her cheeks.
They were both laughing... Buddy looked at Violet, eyes fixed on her face.
"Buddy. Your arms..." she chuckled. Buddy lets go of her.
Violet chuckled and wiped the cream off her face. "Anyway, what are you baking for?"
"I don't know. I guess I just want some sweets." he replied, looking away at her.
Violet pouted and raised her eyebrow. "Seriously?"
"Okay, it's for the kids. Trick or treat. I mean, come on, candies are overrated." he replied. "Besides, home-made cupcakes are much more delicious."
"Aww, cute." she replied.
"Violet, stop." he said.
Antonette squealed in excitement as she stared at the pamphlet that was given to them. "I mean this is like a prom, but much cooler!"
Violet laughed as stared at the pamphlet. "You do know we still have to finish that paper that's due two days from now. We won't have any time for shopping." she replied.
Antonette let out a groan.
"How's your poem?" she asked Antonette.
"I'm halfway there." she replied.
"Halfway there?!" Violet asked. Oh good. I haven't even gotten from five lines.
"But hey, take a break! Instead of thinking about that lit paper, why don't we think about what we will wear on the Halloween party?" Antonette said.
Violet sighed and put her palm on her face. "I don't know what to wear."
Antonette looked at Violet. "How about an angel?"
"Overrated."
"Victoria's Angel?"
"No."
"I know what! Snow queen!"
"Somehow, I like that." Violet replied. Antonette started sketching stuffs on her notebook. "This is what it will look like." she said before showing her the sketch.
"Wow. That's a lot of work to do, okay?" she replied.
"We can ask Buddy to help." Antonette said.
"He's busy, Ann. We shouldn't bother him." she told her. "How about you, what's your costume?"
"Already done. I'm doing Scarlet Witch."
"Oh good." Violet smiled.
That night, Violet spends her time playing scrabble with Buddy. She thought that maybe playing with words would give her muse in writing.
Buddy stared at Violet as he waits for her turn.
"Pass?" he asked.
"No." she said as she put the words on the board.
Buddy smirked and puts another one.
"That's not a real word, you know." she said.
"Hey, it is." Buddy smirked.
"No, it's not."
"Hey, I'm the evil genius here. I have a large vocabulary."
"Not a word." Violet said again.
"Okay, okay." Buddy chuckled, taking the pieces.
After a few moments, Violet stood up. "I'm done. What about you?" she said.
"Well, I'm going to sleep." Buddy replied.
Violet collected the Scrabble pieces. She was sleepy and stress. As she closes the board, Buddy came closer to her and kissed her cheek.
Somehow the kiss awakened all her senses. Heck, it awakened all her living cells.
"Buddy, what the f-"
"Hey. Consider yourself lucky." he said as he ran towards his room.
"Oh, I'm going to crush you." she ran following him, but Buddy had already closed his door.
Violet went back to her room, cursing him. She threw the board aside and wiped her cheeks. Damn it. she thought. Damn him.
She went to her bed. I think I liked it.
Shut up.
The next day, Violet's class ended early. She dropped by the local coffee shop to finish her poem.
She was chewing on her pen. She couldn't make anything out.
She sighed and stared at the blue sky above her. Wow. Those blue colors reminded her of someone.
Hell. It reminded her of Buddy's eyes.
She stared at it for a long time.
I stared up in the sky to see the gleaming blue colors...
Violet smiled and started writing on her paper.
It was 6 PM when she came home. She was smiling giddily and looking at her paper.
"Someone looks happy." Buddy said.
Violet instantly blushed upon seeing him.
"I'm going to my room." she replied as she walked past him.
"Hey, anything wrong?"
But the only response was Violet shutting her door.
Why is my heart beating very loudly?she thought. Violet put her notes on her bag and hid it under her bed.
"Parr, it's your turn." Professor Sanders said. Violet nervously walked infront. Antonette was looking at her, all excited and proud.
"Um... I stared up in the sky to see the gleaming blue colors...
Autumn is here and around us, there's no more flowers
Just the cool breeze of incoming winter
Like the cold heart of a sinner
But this sinner is not like any others
For he made a fire and ice go together.
He's a devil with a broken heart.
He's a man who is incredibly smart.
He's like the autumn when he came to me,
Turning the green leaves to orange trees.
Those red strands that remind me of flame
Reminded me of how he took all the blame
He's like the autumn, an impending warning
Why warning? Because he took my heart and I ended up mourning.
Mourning because I know that Spring can never love Autumn.
The way the moon can never love the sun in return.
I've fallen into the devil's hands.
But I captured his heart in one glance."
The poem ended and Violet looked at her audience. Everyone was staring at her, Antonette looked like she just saw Channing Tatum infront.
"Nice poem, Parr." Professor Sanders said. "You may go to your seat now."
"That was beautiful, Vi!" Antonette told her as they walked towards the cafeteria.
"Thanks, I never thought anyone would like it." she replied.
"But did you mean it?"
"Mean what?"
"You love him?"
"I love who?!"
"Buddy!"
"That's not what I meant about the poem!"
"That's what it meant when I heard it." Antonette replied. "Stop denying it, Vi. You're like... meant to be together."
"Stop, Ann!" Violet told her.
Few days after.
Antonette and Violet were preparing for the Halloween event. Violet spun around as they looked at the dress they made.
"You look beautiful, Violet!" Antonette said.
She was wearing a long gown and has icy blue colors in it. It was simple but beautiful.
"Antonette. I look like Elsa." she laughed.
"You look pretty." Antonette insisted. "We won't braid your hair okay. You look astonishing, oh my god."
"That's not entirely true." Violet replied.
"Yes, it is!" Antonette said as they head out of her room. Buddy looked at the two girls and laughed.
"Aren't both of you too old for Halloween parties?" he said.
"Hey, cut it. Just look at how beautiful Violet is." Antonette said.
Buddy stared at her, smiling. "And who are you supposed to be?"
"The Snow Queen?" Violet smiled.
"We need to go!" Antonette said.
"Bye, Buddy. I'll see you later." she said.
"Watch out for the stairs okay." Buddy grinned.
Buddy's phone rang and he answered it.
"Prof. Gallen?" he asked.
"Hello, Buddy. We tried to track the number you gave to me, but the agents found it in the river far away from here. No fingerprints on the phone. Nothing." he said. "Are you sure you don't want to stay in the institute for awhile?"
Buddy looked down then to the apartment. "I'm sure."
"Also, I'm reviewing your armor's profile. It looks good. But I still have to request for the director for approval. You can't use it unless it's been properly approved." he said.
Buddy groaned. "Why?"
"Maybe because you once tried to destroy a city with a large round robot?" Prof. Gallen laughed.
"I told you this armor is for saving people. Like a did when the students attacked our building?" he said.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm sure the director will think about it."
The party was great. The whole indoor stadium was full with students.
"Hey, Elsa." someone called Violet.
"See, this is why I'm doubting this idea." Violet told Antonette.
"Oh don't mind them. You have the most beautiful costume." she replied.
"Hey, Snow Queen." Jonah greeted. He was wearing a black cape and victorian outfit.
"Finally, somebody recognized her right." Antonette said.
"Dracula?" Violet asked, smiling.
"Yeah. Dracula. Not the best idea, I know." he laughed. "Anyway, I am happy to be in the presence of the Queen of Winter and Harley Quinn." Jonah said as he held both of their hands and kissed it.
"So charming." Antonette said.
"Come girl, let's party." Jonah grinned.
