Bananas for Daniel
For entertainment only! :P
CH5
Daniel picked up his paintball gun as if he really was going into war, about to breathe his last breath.
He was upset, especially when he heard from Amanda that Betty had a date with stupid idiot Henry.
What the hell?
He was pissed. After all that he and Betty have been through, how close they were, the way he felt with her, and damn, what she did to him, she was on a date with that selfish nerd?
She was with the nerd instead of being here on his team. He was upset.
Amanda looked at him "Why do you look so angry?"
He looked at her "I am angry! Where the hell is Betty?!"
Amanda looked at him for a moment, but then said "I told you. On a date with that loser who cheated on her"
Just hearing Amanda voice what he knew pissed him off more, especially the 'loser who cheated on her' part. He glared at her, his anger transparent. "Whatever, let's do this! I just want to get this over with! You're on my team, for a reason. You always have my back" he said, feeling bummed that Betty was not here.
Amanda smiled "I won't let you down"
He smiled at her despite the pain he felt in his chest. The rest of his teammates appeared next to them ready to start this war between him and his sister. He felt saddened that his team was lacking one very important person; the defense to his heart, but she was with a stupid jerky selfish guy instead and took his heart with her.
He and his teammates strolled down the tube to meet the other team. He loved being in paintball gear. It made him feel like he was a live-action hero or spy in a film. He smirked thinking about how Betty would laugh at him and tease him for believing that. He frowned for second, but was brought back to the current moment seeing as they walked through directly across from his team was Alexis and her team strolling through their side of the hallway as if they owned the place.
When they were face to face he looked at her and said "Prepare to be beat, sis"
She came up to him and said in a sure voice "You wish"
He smirked "You're on!"
She looked at him with a fierce fire in her eyes "Whoever's team wins, the captain gets control of Meade."
"Deal"
She grinned "Deal"
Betty walked into the Reggaeton club that her sister and Gio decided to go to meet Henry. She needed to talk to him, and more importantly she needed her sister at the moment.
When she spotted her sister and Gio sitting at a table, she smiled, and when Hilda ran over and greeted her excitedly Betty hugged her "Hilda!"
"Betty, I'm so happy you decided to come here"
Betty nodded, but looked at her and said "I actually...uh, I really need to talk to you Hilda. Before Henry comes here."
Before her sister could comment, Gio walked up to them "Betty, hey, decided to join us and have some fun, other than your boring Sundae Saturday
Betty blushed thinking that her Sundae Friday with Daniel was not boring at all. It was hot and sexy and fun, and oh God, she really needed to talk to her sister "Actually, I uh...I had a Sundae party with Daniel" she looked to her sister with this enticing look as she said "and is was... tons of fun"
Hilda and Gio were looking at her in shock; once Hilda got her senses back, she screamed and said "YOU WHAT!? You DID make out all night! Oh my God, Betty!"
Betty bit her lip looking at her sister, a blush coloring her face.
"Lucky guy" she heard Gio say. Both she and Hilda looked at him. His face reddened "I mean uh..." he sighed "I always knew you two would end up together." He gave her a small smile "Why are you here then?" he asked curiously.
Betty looked to her sister "I was going to ask you what you think? I uh..." she smiled "Daniel just makes me so happy. I ... I've never felt the way I do like how I feel when I'm with him. We can just sit around and talk and have the best time. He makes me feel...special" She said looking at them with a smile.
Smiles spread their faces as they listened to her.
"As long as he treats you nicely, I'm happy for you, mami"
Betty smiled brightly and hugged her tight. Hilda looked at her and whispered "What about Henry?" she gestured to where he was coming into the club. Betty let out a deep breath as she saw him. He looked so excited to see her, but she knew she didn't have a future with him. Who knew if she even had a future with Daniel? She had to take a chance though, or she might be missing out on her true love. The thought of Daniel being her true love made her heart pound.
She walked up to Henry feeling more determined. He smiled and pulled her close to wrap his arms around her. She sighed and said "I think we should break up"
He let go of her as if he was shot "What?"
"I'm sorry, Henry, I just...there's no future between us."
"But Betty, I love you"
"I'm sorry. I've realized that the man I love has been right there in front of me this whole time, I was just too...scared to even ever acknowledge it."
He looked upset looking in the direction of where Hilda and Gio were dancing "You mean Gio"
"NO!" Betty exclaimed "Why does everyone keep saying that!" she sighed feeling irritated now. "I'm sorry, Henry, but I have to go!" She was rushing to the exit, but he grabbed her and said "where are you going?"
She looked to him, a smile on her face "Where I should have been" she released herself from his hold and left knowing that she in no way belonged with Henry. It WAS stupid. Daniel was right. She smiled brightly as she left. When she got to the street, she heard her name being called "Betty!"
She looked back to the club and saw Gio run up to her. She sighed, oh boy, he was probably going to tell her how stupid she was and be smug about it. When he stopped in front of her he looked at her with a smile "I just wanted to tell you, I always felt you deserved better than egg salad."
Betty rolled her eyes.
"As much as I uh...wished it could be me" he started causing her eyes to become wide "Gio-"
He stopped her and said "I'm happy that you are happy. Daniel seems to really like you. I know he would do anything for you" he said with a smile. His words shocked her so much, she was unable to keep her eyes from watering.
She bit her lip, and pulled him close to hug him. "Thanks Gio"
When she let go of him she placed a kiss to his cheek. "You're not so terrible"
He laughed "You're not so bad yourself"
She grinned "Thanks, I uh...I have to go!"
He nodded "Good luck"
Betty nodded and made her way, a thrill filling her. What Gio told her reached her heart. Daniel did always do anything for her. He even told her last night that he would do anything for her. She bit her lip to keep the tears she felt back. She hadn't realized just how much Daniel filled her heart. She knew she cared about him, but she didn't realize the extent of her love for him until last night. Their time together, just them, no drama; it felt great being with him.
Daniel had lost three of his teammates. It was just him and Amanda, now. He had to find where she was, in the Closet, no doubt.
He couldn't stop thinking about Betty and the fact that she was with nerd-boy. It made him so angry. Just the thought of Betty letting the idiot touch her made him cringe. His heart couldn't take the pain he felt seeing that Betty ditched him to be with the grub.
How could she be with loser when she had kissed him and let him kiss her? Dammit, he wished he didn't care about loyalty or else he would have kissed her last night. He tried to be a gentleman and not take advantage of their 'situation', but now he was more pissed at himself that he didn't grab her and kiss those hot, sexy lips, and show her that he was a way better man than the asshole she was with now.
He let out a deep sigh as he sneaked past the men's room. Just as he passed he heard the door open, he turned and shot Stella in the chest "HAH! Now, it's just two left" he said feeling better that he and his sister were now even. He had to find Amanda; he ducked when he reached the hallway to reach the Closet. He crawled and saw Amanda. She heard him and picked her gun up
"Amanda, it's just me" he came up next to her. She looked like she'd been through war. He loved this. It was an exciting thrill to 'go into battle'. "Are you ok?" he asked looking at her.
She held onto the mannequin that was wearing a glamorous jacket. "It was bad. I should feel something, but...I feel nothing" she said as if she lost her soul. He couldn't help but chuckle. "War has changed me"
He laughed at his friend, but said "Come on, we got this! I just shot Stella in the men's room. Are you with me?"
Amanda gave him a slow smile "yes, let's do this"
He grinned "Alright, I'm really glad you're here for me"
She nodded "I want to kill Nick Pepper" He laughed "Great, you take him, I'll take Alexis."
She got up and left, with renewed motivation. He shook his head as he watched her leave. He heard a very conniving "Dannny" in the echoes of the offices. Alexis was ruthless. She was insane. She had taken out the majority of his team in one go as she was pulled on a cart towering over everything. She was merciless, shooting his teammates wherever possible.
He crept against a wall to reach the conference room; he caught a glimpse of her. In a split second, she leapt over the conference table to get in the center so she had a cover and vantage point, but she yelped, and had gotten hurt.
He ran over worriedly "Alexis!" he slid over the table and looked at her as she was holding onto her ankle "Are you ok?" he still kept his caution, despite the gun not being in her hands. She looked at him and said "Take the shot!"
He looked at her and aimed his gun at her to take the shot. He let the gun rest and got down to help her up "not like this!"
He helped her up "Look, does it matter who dad wanted to run Meade? Why don't we do it together?" he suggested. He was tired of fighting.
She looked at in surprise. He smiled "we can be a team" he held his hand out to her. She shook his hand and put her other arm around him to pull him closer "You were always the nice one, Danny" she said in a soft voice. Her grip on him got tighter and he felt her hand on the gun. Shit, he was a goner. He was going to lose everything now. He didn't have the woman he was crazy about and was about to lose his job, his dignity, his sister; he couldn't feel smaller than he did at the moment.
"I let you win the tree house, Danny, but not this time" she said. He closed his eyes and a loud resonating shot was fired. He was startled by the sound, moving back from Alexis to see if she had shot him, but instead there was a blue splatter on her. He looked in shock. How had that happened?
"I thought you could use a hand"
Daniel and Alexis both looked to the entrance to the conference room, to see "BETTY!" Daniel exclaimed in surprise, happiness filling him, his eyes lighting up seeing her there. What was she doing here?
She was in a the blue paint ball uniform, her hair tied up, wearing a blue headband, holding the paintball gun and looking at him with that smile of hers. He ran over, a rush spreading through him at the sight of her looking so amazing and hot, and cute and here for him; he slid over the table and as soon as he reached her he grabbed her to him spinning her around, causing her to laugh. He grinned; he never felt so amazing.
"I can't believe you're here!"
When he let her down, he took hold of her face and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Her arms lifted around his midsection pulling him closer. He never felt so happy, so alive. Feeling her lips and having her kiss him back was giving him a heart attack. She was amazing. Who knew Betty was this passionate. He should have known; she was always very strong and passionate in everything else she did.
Betty couldn't have felt more right than to be here with Daniel. And having him look so happy to see her and how he kissed her ignited her soul, lifted her heart. Yes, with Daniel was where she should have been, and she was so happy she was here.
When he let go of her, he looked at her eyes, still holding her face. "I almost lost. What are you doing here?"
She smiled looking at him "I'm always on Team Daniel"
He grinned brightly before kissing her again. God, he loved her. She was the best team anyone could ever want or need or have, and she was on his team. When Daniel stopped kissing her, Alexis came over, a shocked look on her face as she looked at both of them. "You...what?" she was confused.
They both laughed. Daniel grinned and put his arm around Betty's shoulder pulling her closer to him "You see, Alexis. Life is so much better when you have a team" he said looking to Betty with a smile. She smiled at him.
Alexis rolled her eyes "Yah, yah" she let out a frustrated sigh, but held her hand out to him "You win"
He shook his head "no, I uh...I want you to be in charge of Meade. You want it more than me"
She and Betty both looked at him in surprise. He looked to Betty "I have what I need here"
Betty looked at him with glossy eyes and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her, feeling so happy that Betty really was here for him. She was on Team Daniel.
Alexis looked at them, a slight smile; she looked to Daniel "Thanks Danny. I'll...um...see you later" she grinned. Daniel grinned back, unable to hide how happy he was.
AN: hope you enjoy! :D
