Eddie Hates Ice Skating:
Eddie pushed himself to his feet with some difficulty while the symbiote laughed in his mind.
YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS.
"Wanna trade places," the teen muttered, holding out his arms to not slip on the ice.
When he'd said yes to going out on a date with Maggie Sabol, he'd thought that they'd see a movie or go out for burgers or something. However, he wasn't expecting her to want to go ice skating, of all things, and now he was trying his best not to break a bone as he tried to skate after the auburn-haired girl, who, while shaky herself, was still better than him.
"This is kinda fun, though," Maggie said, smiling as she grabbed the nearby railing for support, straightening herself. "I've never ice skated before."
"Neither have I," Eddie said candidly, though a little annoyed. Not only did he stink at skating, but he also had to spend most of his allowance on renting the skates. Besides, while Maggie was a nice girl, she seemed too cheery, and he resolved to just be friends.
PATHETIC, Venom said mockingly as Eddie sprawled onto the ice again, narrowly loosing his fingers as another skater raced by. OUR KIND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE LIMBS, YET WE COULD DO BETTER THAN YOU!
Then do it, the teen thought angrily. Leave my body, crawly across the freezing ice, and do something worthy of the Winter Olympics! That shut up the parasite, and the boy gave a triumphant grin as he followed Maggie around the edge of the rink.
"So," Maggie asked, taking small steps across the ice, "isn't this better than seeing some old movie that you can always get on VHS?"
"I guess," Eddie replied, though he'd rather see that new Disney movie that was playing. "You're better at this than me, though."
"As if!"
"No, really; if you can stand up without falling every few minutes, then you must be good at this kinda stuff!"
She looked back at him, blushing a little. "You… you think I'm good."
"Uh… yeah." She smiled, turned back forward, and continued to skate.
DOES THAT MEAN SHE LIKES US, Venom asked curiously.
No, it means she likes me, the teen thought. Looking back at the girl, he saw that she gave him a small smile, and his cheeks reddened slightly.
WHAT WAS THAT?
Eddie started at the sudden question, nearly falling over, but he quickly rightened himself. What was what?
YOUR CHEEKS. YOU'RE BLUSHING!
No I'm not!
YOU ARE BLUSHING; WE CANNOT BLUSH! YOU LIKE THAT GIRL!
I do not!
The monster laughed in his head. HA HA! EDDIE'S GOT A CRU-USH!
I DO NOT!
DON'T WORRY; WE LIKE HER TOO. CAN WE KISS HER?
NO, JUST SHUT UP, the boy yelled in his mind. YOU'RE JUST A PARASITE!
A pin drop, and then- PARASITE?!
Eddie's legs swung up from underneath him, and he landed on his back, the wind leaving his lungs in a single woosh. Catching his breath, he tried to sit up, but the alien wouldn't let him.
Venom, the boy started.
APOLOGIZE! YOU KNOW WE DO NOT LIKE THAT!
Okay, fine! I'm sorry! To his relief, the symbiote relented, and Eddie sat up, Maggie skating over to see if he was okay. You gotta stop doing that.
WE DON'T THINK SO, Venom smirked in his mind. IT'S FUNNY WATCHING YOU FLAIL AROUND.
Not to me!
"Are you okay," the girl was asking, helping him up. "That was quite a spill you took!"
"I'm fine," the teen replied, though his left shoulder hurt a lot. However, the parasitic alien must've felt sorry, because the pain suddenly vanished, as if he'd never gotten hurt. "Feeling good!"
Maggie gave a relieved huff. "Sweet! Oh, do you watch Full House?"
"Sometimes."
"Did you see last night's episode?"
"No."
"Good! I'll tell you all about it." As she launched into a detailed explanation of the plot, the two of them holding onto the rail as they slowly made their way around the rink, Eddie felt Venom poking at his mind. What?
WE… WE ARE SORRY, the alien said, sounding sincere. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. WE FIXED OUR ARM, THOUGH.
Thanks for that. Sorry for calling you a you-know-what. Just… stay out of my love life, okay?
WE CANNOT HELP IT! WE SEE AND HEAR EVERYTHING YOU DO.
But I'm not going to date or marry every girl I come across, the teen explained. Maggie's nice and all, and I kinda like her, but I don't think we'd work out as a couple. That's what happens; people go on dates, some become boyfriend and girlfriend, some break up, and it's ugly, but that's just how it works. Besides; we're still kids, and I've got my whole life to find that special someone.
NO ONE WILL BREAK UP WITH US, Venom said firmly, sensing that breaking up was something negative in human relationships. BUT IF SOME GIRL IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO DO SO, CAN WE EAT THEM?
No, the boy said sternly. Remember? Eating humans is off limits!
FINE, BUT WE BETTER STOP BY MRS. CHEN'S FOR TATER TOTS AFTER THIS.
Okay, but only if you stay quiet for the rest of this date.
DEAL!
And with that, Eddie turned back towards Maggie, smiling and laughing as she continued to tell the hilarious story.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I tried to include a bunch of 90's stuff, so I figured that the whole Full House reference and 90's slang would make it believable. Also, I do not own Disney or Full House in ANY way, shape or form.
Favorite and follow to keep updated on new chapters, and feel free to leave a review in the comments with your thoughts on the chapter or the story overall. And I'm about to be THAT author who encourages you to check out my other FanFictions (but you don't have to if you don't want to).
