My Jelly Boyfriend

by pmcapture

Science is important. It envelops our knowledge of our world around us, and even what lies beyond the realm of our atmosphere. However, it can also fulfill...practical desires. This is the story of how scientists finally artificially created a conscious being for the first time in history, answering every last question about ourselves. The conscious being escapes to find its love

50. The First Step

Chapter 50 - The First Step

What!?, Ella thought. My jelly boyfriend began to become more relieved as the glow coming from her eyes began to dim, returning to their normal state. What does that even mean?!, she asked in confusion. "Look, I looked at the makeup of your fluid, and compared it to his. It turns out, I'm made out of... your material.", my jelly boyfriend explained. But... but that's impossible! I've only been with you once, and even before that, you've been here!, she remarked.

My jelly boyfriend made the judgement that Ella wouldn't go attack me and Barry and more, so he got off of her, allowing her to sit on the bed. "Look, you came into the chemicals, which turned you into your current self, right? Well, guess what?! Those scientists have been working with those chemicals for over half a century, and guess what one of their experiments were?!", my jelly boyfriend yelled, pointing at his own body. Ella looked down at the ground, thinking of the situation.

Wait... so how are you made up of... me?, she asked. "Look, I'm made up of two different chemicals, along with some others. It's clear that you're making these chemicals on your own, without even knowing it. I know it sounds crazy, so if you need me to slow down, I will.", he replied. Ella took a deep breath, before asking the next question. So let me get this straight... Because I came into contact with this... stuff... Now I'm making more of you?

My jelly boyfriend debated on whether or not he would share this answer, but he eventually decided on the correct way to put it. "Not exactly. You see, your... um... makeup... is only half of what I am. Guess where the other half is?", he eventually replied. Ella stared at him, shaking her head in disbelief. So... THAT'S why you did this to him?!, she eventually asked.

"...kind of. That, and he was actually in the moment, you see...", my jelly boyfriend responded. Ella laid back on the bed, immediately feeling something sticky on her lower back. She sat back up, reaching behind her to see what was sticking to her. She paused as she held a light blue-ish colored drop, that slowly dripped off of her finger. She turned towards my jelly boyfriend, comparing the fluid with his body.

Meanwhile, I was in the living room, propping Barry onto the couch. "Hah... Hah... Hah...", he said, taking breaths of air to collect himself. "What is up with your sister?!", I asked him. "I... Don't... ah... know!", he replied. "She's never like this, I... swear!" I sat down on one of the chairs next to the couch, holding my chest as my heart felt like it was on fire.

"Say... Where's... jelly?!", he asked me. Just at that moment, I looked up to find Ella walking beside my jelly boyfriend out of the bedroom. "What is your problem?!", I yelled at her. I'm so sorry! I thought you had changed my brother, and I got angry and lost control of myself!, she thought to us. "So you tried to kill me?!", Barry yelled. I... I'm so... sorry..., Ella thought to him, running back into the guest bedroom and closing the door behind her.

"What happened in there?!", I asked my jelly boyfriend. "I explained myself to her. Apparently, since I'm partially made up of her fluid, I was able to block her powers momentarily.", he replied, walking into the living room. "Are the both of you okay?", he asked. "Yeah, I'm alright. What about you, Barry?", I asked him. "Wait, so you're meaning to tell me that you're made up of...", Barry said, before pausing.

He slowly looked over at my jelly boyfriend with a look of disgust in his face. "Look, when you came into contact with those chemicals, they changed a lot about you. Your body began to produce, this!", my jelly boyfriend told him, reaching into the back of my shirt and scraping off some of the residue. "You're beginning to create this stuff yourself! You've become a factory for this life-altering material!", my jelly boyfriend remarked.

Barry began to smile. "We can change other bunnies for the greater good!", he remarked. "Now hold on", I said, "I have to go to work tomorrow! That, and those scientists will kidnap you and use you for devious purposes! That means we can't just put all this together and call it a day!", I told them. They looked at each other with sadness in their eyes. "But on my next day off, we'll show the world how we can make our mark.", I reassured them.

The first step on the staircase of equity had been conquered this morning. It wasn't even noon yet.
