Club 23 - Chapter XV - The Investigating


We're only two weeks shy of the Spring Formal, and people are starting to ask other people out, but not in the case of Esmeralda and Flynn, as instead of asking people out, their trying to figure out who is asking out who, specifically who Phoebus is going to ask out, So after classes were done, the pair met in a secret spot so they can discuss.

"So", says Esmeralda

"So", says Flynn

"What do we do first?", she questions

"Well for starters, we have to start looking at his answers", he responds

"Okay, so all we know that this girl is that she goes to this school, they're close in birthdays, two classes" Esmeralda talks

"Short, but not too short, red and blue are her favorite colors, long hair, but not too long" Flynn adds on, "Christmas…" he continues

"What?", said Esmeralda with a slight laugh, "Christmas?... What about Christmas?"

"Remember, Christmas, that's what Phoebus said about this girl's eye color, he said it reminded him of Christmas"

"Oh right", she says with realization, "but…why?, that's such a weird thought, imagine a looked into a guy's eyes and saying that their eyes remind me of Thanksgiving or Halloween"

"I mean don't Naveen's eyes remind you of Thanksgiving", said Flynn joking around, with Esmeralda giving him a punch to his arm, "First off…ow, secondly, come on, that was kinda of funny"

"Sorry", said Esmeralda sincerely, "It's just…I don't know if I like him like that

"Wait…what?", said Flynn confused, "I thought the feelings were mutual"

"They are…to the extent, I sometimes flirt with him back, just so he can leave me alone or when I'm in a rush to class"

"Oh"

"But, for most of the time, I like our playful conversations, it's just that he's not a bad guy, but I don't know if he is my type"

"Well, have you told him this" said Flynn sitting next to her

"No, I haven't, but even if I did, I think he'll take it well"

"Really?"

Esmeralda smiled, "I mean yea, it's Naveen, he kinda flirts with every girl here"

Flynn slightly laughed, "True"

"Yea and plus, I think we'll be better off friends"

"Hmm", is all Flynn can muster out

"Y'know, I told Phoebus this in a text conversation"

"Really"

"Yea, we like stayed up all night talking, it was nice"

"What did you two talk about?" said Flynn with an eyebrow raised

"Flynn, we didn't have dirty talk, or 'sexting'", said Esmeralda

"Okay, but you never know"

"Anyway, during that conversation, we talked about who we liked, I had mentioned that a person I see him going out with is Belle"

"Belle, as in works in the bookstore Meg gets her books from Belle, as in one member of the Spring Formal committee Belle"

"Yeah, that Belle"

"I don't know, doesn't she like Adam"

"I thought Adam liked her," said Esmeralda

"I thought that too until I started seeing them more together after Gaston tried to flirt with her"

"Ugh, Gaston, he's the worst, so full of himself, I hate it," Esmeralda said in disgust while Flynn looked to the side

"Full of himself, huh…Esme, I have a question"

"Go ahead"

"Do you think that I'm full of myself like my ego is out of this world?"

Esmeralda gets closer to him, "Well…yes, no, but yes, but no, the whole point Flynn is that you can, but it's actually tolerable, it's amusing, you make us laugh with your ridiculousness, I mean look at you today, you literally dress up professional from head to toe to today's meeting, I know that someday you're eventually are going to mature, and the day is going to suck because I want this version of Flynn to last a lifetime"

"Wow", Flynn smiled to Esmeralda, "I never knew how much I mean to you and probably the rest of the group feels this way too"

"Of course they do, Flynn, you being the person to plan the events, is always so fun, especially when those events happen and we all have an amazing time"

"Thanks, Esme, that really means a lot" He went in to hug his friend and she returned the hug. He went to get up from the hug because it was getting late and he needed to catch the bus home, but before he could leave Esmeralda had stopped him.

"Flynn wait…" she said

"Yea"

"Is there anyone that you're interested in taking to the Spring Formal?"

Flynn looked down at the ground, he looked up in the sky to think if he wanted to give her an answer or not. He knew that he had to share since they were together as partners for the 'investigation'. He opens up

"Rapunzel"

Esmeralda smiled and gasped, "Really?"

"Yeah, really…see you later partner," he said

"Yea, you too, see ya," she said and he walked away. She also started to walk away as she started to walk home as well. Meanwhile, Phoebus is in his room, lying around and thinking about when he should pop the question to Esmeralda about the Spring Formal, and he doesn't know what to do, like literally doesn't know what to do, so he video calls the only person that calm his nerves


"Hey man, are you busy?", Phoebus says

"Surprisingly…no" said Quasimodo

"Great!, because I need to talk with you, urgently"

"Let me guess…a certain girl with green eyes, also known as Esmeralda"

"How did you know?"

"C'mon Phoebus, do you really think I don't know what's going on in there", says Quasimodo as he points to his head

"True, you think you can help me out?"

"With?..."

"With everything, the Spring Formal is not that far away and I need to find out how I can approach her"

"Hmm…how about you send her a gift"

"Like what?"

"You know like some chocolate, a teddy bear, or another plushie of her favorite animal"

"Hmm, could work out, wait, I see that Ali wants to join, that's cool, right?"

"Yeah, of course", said Quasimodo, Phoebus let Aladdin in


"Hey y'all, what's up", said Aladdin

"Hey Ali", said Quasimodo

"Sup Ali", said Phoebus

"What's happening?", Aladdin asks

"Trying with how I'm going to ask Esmeralda to the Spring Formal," said Phoebus

"Ooh, I have a suggestion", said Aladdin, "get her some flowers, at least that's what I'm doing with Jasmine, guess what flowers I'm getting her…"

"Let me guess", said Quasimodo, "Jasmine"

"Ding ding ding, Quasi leads with 100 points", said Aladdin

"Clever", said Phoebus, "Chocolates, stuffed animals, flowers could all work, thanks a lot you guys"

"No problem", said Quasimodo

"Glad to give some assistance", said Aladdin

"Thanks for the help, I should be ready by the end of the week", said Phoebus

"Good luck, and see ya," said Quasimodo

"Yeah man good luck, later", said Aladdin

"See ya both and thanks", said Phoebus and he shuts his conversation with the rest of the guys. After that, he goes to his bed and lies there saying

"Welp here goes nothing"

Meanwhile, Pocahontas and Megara are at the bookstore to check out some new books


"Hmm Poca, I have a question?" said Megara

"Yes", said Pocahontas

"Should I read this novel about a kid that has a journey to royalty by killing almost half his family or a novel about a kid that turns into a wolf by night a terrorizes his native town"

"Hmm, both equally as disturbing," said Pocahontas, "but the second one seems interesting"

"Thanks, I hoping to get around this one", said Megara as she smiled, she headed to the counter to rent the book for a few days because it's a cheaper option and saves her some money, as she's almost halfway through, she stops…no, she freezes and sees Hercules walks in. She doesn't know what to do and still stands there and says to herself

"I bet this is how Flynn feels when he meets Rapunzel"


First thing first, I know today is Saturday, and apologize for posting a day late...anyway, interesting to know what the interaction between Megara and Hercules is going to be like, plus what's next for Esmeralda and Flynn's investigation, find out in the next chapter which is going to come out either the 21st or the 22nd (I promise). If you like this chapter and the story, consider leaving a like and a review...thank you :)
