The Serpent's Cheerleader
"Cheryl."
Cheryl didn't know how to respond or say anything but she knew this wasn't good. "Mother. We were just about to leave back to Toni's. Let's go girls."
Before Cheryl could get in, Penelope Blossom grabbed her arm. "You think I'm letting you go anywhere near that serpent monster? She is only going to hurt you. No one could care about a Blossom without a reason. Think about it Cheryl. You two haven't known each other that long and she is already trying to use you."
Cheryl looked at Toni. "What are you talking about? Toni has been nothing but nice to me." Penelope laughed. "Oh really? What are the chances you would run into her at the movies the only time you are alone?"
Cheryl started thinking. "Betty and her were going to go together but-" Penelope interupted. "But she didn't show and nether did Veronica. I had someone keep an eye out and Betty and Veronica were both at the movies." She showed Cheryl the pictures of Betty and Veronica watching them and hiding.
Cheryl looked shocked before she glanced at The other girls. Veronica and Betty both had a gilty look on their faces. Toni shook her head. "Wait, you girls set all that up so me and Cheryl would run into each other?"
Penelone again spoke. "Oh please. Don't pertend you had nothing to do with this. You got to Cheryl at her weakest moment so she would trust you and leave the serpents alone."
Cheryl looked in Toni's eyes while thinking about her mother's words. "Let's go." Pelelope smirked. Finally you've come to your senses-" "No, I mean me and the girls. Not you. Even if Your telling the truth, Toni, Veronica, and Betty are a hundred times better than you."
Getting in the car and driving off after everyone was in, Cheryl glanced at Toni. "Please tell me what she said isn't true. Please tell me you never lied and made up a plan so there was no more fighting and your not using me."
Toni shook her head. "Cheryl, you know me. Maybe for not that long but you know who I am even when I don't know myself. I would never-" Toni's voice cracked on the last word. "I could never do something like that to you. I care about you way to much."
Cheryl nodded, believing her. Veronica awed from the back before Betty covered her mouth. Cheryl glared. "And tell me that you girls didn't make a plan to set us up." Before Veronica could say something, Betty beat her to it. "OK, yes we did but all we wanted was for you two to be happy and stop fighting. We were only helping what was already there." Toni turned in her seat. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Betty gulped. Veronica noticed and answered for her. "Come on. You can't tell us that you didn't have a thing for each other. Everyone could see it and that is why you two went after each other all the time. No other serpent, just Toni and when something happened to you, Toni, the first person you went to yell at was Cheryl."
Toni thought about it for a second. "OK, maybe your right but you didn't have to go behind our backs like that." Cheryl remained silent the whole ride, dropping Veronica and Betty off. When they got to Toni's trailer, Cheryl didn't say a word as she made her way inside. The serpent sighed, soon following. "Cheryl, will you please say something."
Cheryl was sitting on Toni's couch, leaning her head on her hand, staring at Toni. "Kiss me." Toni stared at her for a second, thinking she missheard her. "What?" Cheryl repeated herself. "Kiss me. You still want to don't you?"
Toni nodded but didn't come closer. "I do but I'm not going to kiss you. Not now at least. Today was stressful and confusing. I want this to be what you want. Not something like a fling or friends with b-" Cheryl shhok her head. "That's not what this is about. This is about me wanting to be with you. Not some game. I want you. I have wanted you for a while but I was scared. Veronica was right. This thing between us is noticable by everyone so why can't we just go for it? Why can't I have the one thing I crave? Kiss me and I'm yours."
Toni gave in. She leaned down, kissing Cheryl, the red head pulling her ontop, laying down on the couch. Cheryl deepend the kiss for a few seconds before Toni pulled away. "You hungry? I want to take you on a date."
Cheryl smirked. "I'll go anywhere with you. You pick." Toni thought about it then smiled. "Well, it may not be a fancy restraunt but they have the best food. Let's go."
The girls got on Toni's bike with smiles on their faces. Cheryl knew Toni was a safe driver but she still tightened her grip around her new girlfriend. Now this is what Cheryl called home. Toni was the only home she will ever need.
