FEAR THIS SPORK FIC!!
Okay okay this is mostly a little sweet lovey dovey crappy fic I wass in good mood when it came about so yeah to Lum-I apologize but you get abused in this story and you mainly just Kareoke with Peter. Which I must also Aplogize to because I’ve noticed a trend that I mainly focus on Peter Lum and myself as characters in most of the spork Fics and in this one I did Cat and Nori and I think it came out so sugar sweet that your vains will crystalize! So Yes enjoy! But remember it’s not really all suppose to make perfect sense.
Peter poked his head out of his room and looked around the hall. He stepped out of the room and closed the door softly behind him. Just as he took his first step toward the living room and the computer Lum dashed by.
"AH NO Not again!" Peter cried chasing after her in a faded white shirt and palm tree boxers.
"HAHaha I will be first on the comp today!" Lum cried running head long in a black girl’s "wife beater" and shorts toward the living room. Sadly at that very moment, Kim’s door opened. Peter laughed as Kim and Lum became a tangled mess on the ground.
"Kim darling thank you!" Peter yelled from the soft computer chair.
"EVERY MORNING KIM! EVERY MORNING!" Lum screeched, "EVERY MORNING! DO YOU PLAN TO CRASH INTO ME EVERY MORNING OR IS THAT SOME KINDA TWISTED GAME OF THE HEAVENS?"
Kim covered her ears as all her hair and white girl’s "wife beater" were blown to one side with the forced of Lum’s yell. Once the squall ended she uncovered her ears as said to Lum, "Well it’s not like I plan it you know? ‘Every Morning’ as you put it you guys do this at a different time. Last time it was at 10am today it was 8 I thought if I woke up earlier I could avoid all this, but no!" Lum got off of Kim and just as she got her footing, Naomi(the shadow cat from the Zodiac Fic she’s Mimi…but Naomi at the same time you dig?) strolled out of the room causeing Lum to fall to the floor once more.
"WHY DID WE KEEP THIS THING!?!" Lum bellowed once more before rising again. Just as she stepped forward Cat opened her door and Lum crashed right into it. Lum slides off the door as Cat in Lavender tank top and boxer shorts pokes her head out and asks what’s going on.
Naomi jumped up on Kim’s shoulder as Kim grabbed Cat’s wrist and dashed for the kitchen. Just as they made it Cat’s door was blown apart. Lum ‘s powers had obviously gotten much stronger since the fight with the kitten.
"Peter….can’t you let her win just once?" Kim asked standing up from behind the counter and mentally piecing together Cat’s door.
"If I let her win she’ll be all the more vengeful." Peter said as he continued Coloring and saving every two seconds.
"He’s right you know." Cat said as she poked her head into the fridge. "Kim…where’s the food?"
"In the fridge?" Kim said looking at Cat sideways.
"No…it’s not." Cat said looking at everyone.
Kim started opening cupboards and the pantry.
"Who the hell binged ALL the food?!?" Kim screamed then she opened the cupboards under the sink and found Nori’s Penguin…Oded on food. Kim grabbed the penguin and proceeded to shake.
"YOU ATE ALL THE FOOD?" Kim pulled out a gun from her long black sleep pants. Nori’s Penguin pulled away from her gasp running straight to Nori’s library.
"Come back here you little non-winged-flipper-fied-thing!" Kim dashed after the penguin at break neck speeds. Just as she rounded got to the Library
Kim was about to shoot when the Penguin jumped into Nori’s arms.
"Kim what are you doing?"Nori exclaimed.
"THAT ,THAT, THAT THING ATE ALL THE FOOD!" Kim yelled mentally knocking the books from their shelves.
"SO JUST GO BUY SOME MORE!" Nori yelled back. "YOU DON’T HAVE TO KILL IT!!"
"Me go by myself oh no! You are suppose to watch that thing! You are coming with me!" Kim yelled
Nori sighed and nodded. "I’ll go get dressed just give me a minute. "
With that Kim walked out of the library and into her room, changed then came out.
"Cat are you comin’?" Kim yelled
Cat pops her head out of her room dressed and ready to go. "Yeah no way I’m staying with those two" she jerks a thumb towards Peter happily Coloring and Lum sitting on the couch waiting for him.
"Nori you ready?" Kim hollared
"I’m commin, I’m commin" Nori sleepily walks out of her library.
"Whose driving?" Cat asked
"Nori’s the olderst." Kim stated
"Kim’s driven more than I have." Nori returned
"I think Kim should drive then." Cat said
"God Dammnit" Kim takes her keys and her gun off the counter, " I swear if either one of you complains about my shifting or how fast I’m going I’ll shoot both of you. I don’t care if it is raining it’ll only wash the blood away faster."
"Have fun girls!" Peter yelled waving.
"Bye" the three sang.
::After a while The girls finally reach the grocery store. They walked the isles pretty uneventfully but a few of the girls consciences weren’t quiet so calm.::
Ri and Pan (about 2 and a half inches tall you know) are walking while their clouds support the weight of two packs of gum. Pan wore boots, jeans and a t-shirt. Ri on the other hand wore a sky blue blouse and a white skirt.
"Pan are you sure Kim went this way?"
"I guess…I think so…I’ll run ahead and see." Pan ran to the end of the counter and made a sharp right turn…slamming directly into something. The looked down under her and there was the cutest boy she had ever seen. His hair was dark green...perhaps black in some light…his surprised eyes were the color of the reddest wine…almost like blood…she felt herself falling into them.
::Enter Bishie fantasy…pink transparent bubbles float past his face…a few feathers she blushes…then Sakura blossoms she gets starry eyed then he speaks::
"Um…do you think you could get off of me now?"
Pan slowly gets off, sitting on her feet but continues staring at the boy.
"I guess I should help you up" the mysterious boy said offering his hand….of course that isn’t what Pan heard…Pan heard more along the lines of: "Are you hurt? Is there anything I can do?" but then she snapped out of it thank goodness….
"yeah um.." blush deepens as she stands up "I’m so sorry I should have watched were I was going…"
"Yeah you should have." The boy replied
"Dante that isn’t very nice!" Pan’s eyes looked up another boy. He looked very much like Dante as he’d just been named… but his hair was sandy brown ad his eyes were golden also he was missing this cool, calm, bad boy aura that Dante had. This other boy offered his hand to her as well for a handshake.
"Hi my name is Delano, this is Dante. We come from Catherinius in origin. What’s your name?"
Pan took the had and offered her name "Pandora…I come from Kimica." She spoke to Delano but her eyes didn’t leave Dante who had closed his eyes and his face was at profile.
"Pan! Pan!" Ri rounded the cornor and slammed right into Pan and Delano.
"Ahh.." Pan said from the bottom of the dog pile "That thing on top of you is my counter part Adrienne."
Ri giggled and apologized to Delano.
"So…what were you guys doing before I slammed into you?" Pan asked slowly moving towards Dante’s side.
"Well we were trying to carry this." Delano pointed to a Twix bar. "But" Delano unfolded his peacock wings and pointed to Dante’s wings "We aren’t strong enough"
"Hmph---maybe you aren’t." Dante murmured.
"You can use my cloud!" Pan said a little too enthusiastically.
"Are you sure?" Delano asked
"Sure no problem! I’ll just get gum next time." Pan said. "…Dante…could you come put it back with me?"
Dante looked at the girl then quickly looked down and away. Pan thought he saw a hint of happiness on his face…maybe…maybe it was her imagination…wishful thinking yeah that was it.
"Sure I guess. Seeing as you’re helping us out" Dante began walking.
Pan jogged to catch up with him. After several minutes of no conversation
"So…you belong to Cat huh?"
"Yeah if you want to look at it that way"
"So…" She began wringing her hands "um how long has she had you?"
"A while"
" Wow that’s odd I’ve never seen you in the house. Do you ever go to the Sanctuary?"
Dante sighed heavily "No I try not to. Delano told me that it was a beautiful place but things like me don’t belong there. I guess you neither."
"What do you mean ‘don’t belong there’?" She asked
He looked at her straight in the eyes anger flickered in his scarlet eyes "I’m a demon—places of worship don’t exactly open their doors to us." He kept walking and he stood still. Then kept walking
"That’s not true. They let me in! Besides in the Sanctuary we don’t cast people out! How can you measure your good deeds if you never make any mistakes?"
He turned on her. "Are you a demon?"
She met his glaze but couldn’t hold it…she looked down… "I guess you could say that but I’m not really I’m a Yang—a dark force…kinda like a demon but not evil…you aren’t evil either…I don’t think." She started to walk again and he followed.
"And how would you know you’ve known me 5 minutes?"
"Your vibe says you’re good just a little…more physical in you decision making ways then Delano. Like you’d fight instead of talk which isn’t evil, just a different approach." She stopped and turned to him "Besides if you were evil wouldn’t you have tried to kill me or suck my blood or whatever it is that demons do?"
Dante raised an eyebrow "Who says I won’t?"
She backed away a little then drew closer. " So go for it!"
Dante looked at her a little bewildered ‘Damn she’s brave…’ he thought but said "I don’t feel like it now." And walked past her.
"Why not?" she said hands on hips
" A bunch of reasons!" He yelled back trying to think of something other than I just don’t do those thing. He very well knew he preferred French food and had never harmed anyone
"Like?" she jogged to catch up with him
‘Well like I don’t like doing those sort of things in broad daylight plus I’m not hungry and…and your cloud how would I use it if you were dead? Can we just go and get rid of the damn gum?"
"Fine"
They walked in silence and then Pan tried to put back the gum. It was on the top shelf and she hadn’t thought how hard this would be to do without Ri. As Pan finally placed the gum on the shelf she leaned against it to push it back on the shelf. By the time she realized she had run out of cloud it was too late.
"Pan…Pan be careful…Pan you’re on the edge."
"Whose cloud is this?! Okay I think I know how big—ahh!"
"Pan!" Dante spread his wings and flew up to her cradling her in his arms. She clung to him in fear and the finally relaxed a little to see him looking down at her. She pulled completely away blushing and nearly fell out of his arms. He swerved a little but shook his head to regain control.
"Would you sit still? If not I’ll crash." In truth it wasn’t her wiggeling that had made him lose control it was her scent. Dante had never smelt anything so sweet. Cat smelled good to him but this was a different sweet a different girl smell. It was like Lilies…White ones a flower of death but still also of something else he couldn’t place. The scent made him dizzy and submissive. They reached the ground unscathed and he put her down.
"Thank you." She said not looking at him trying to get her cheeks to stop blushing.
"Your welcome" he said in return looking far to the right shaking his head now and again to get his wits about him.
Pan put two fingers in her mouth and whistled.
Her cloud came down and she hopped on.
"Um …you wanna ride?" She asked
"Um…you know since I already have my wings…"his voice dropped as he saw the look of hope in her face. "sure"
"Hop on ! It goes mighty fast and I wouldn’t want you to fall off!"
Dante sat down and tried to figure out what to hang on to. Sadly the cloud took off and he still hadn’t found it. He screamed as he flew off and Pan grabbed his arm pulling him back on to the cloud.
"Geeze! Thanks for the warning1" Dante yelled
"I did warn you!" With that they made their way back to the others.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the grocery store.
"We are not buying that!" Kim screetched
"But Penguin likes Lucky Charms!" Nori yelled
"He ate all the food in the house so it obviously doesn’t matter what we buy he’ll eat it!" Kim growled.
Cat sat between the two girls pushing the shopping cart.
"Kim, why does it matter whether we get the blasted cereal or not." Cat asked
"We don’t have enough money to cater to everyone’s whims!"
"Here here Jesus I mean what it is two dollars here take this take a five get the animal whatever it likes." Cat pulls out a five from her pocket.
By now the shopping cart was full of food ranging from fruits and vegetables to meats and an assortment of junk.
"Okay the last thing we need to get is…um…milk." Cat says taking charge of the situation.
"Okay I’ll get that." Kim said "You go stand in line and I’ll be right there okay?"
Nori and Catherine agree and go to stand in the check out line…which is now about 60 senior citizen type people since…there is only…one register open….
Elsewhere!
"Are you done yet?" Lum fumed
"No not yet." Peter sing songed back
She growled and went to the kitchen and opened the fridge then closed it in disgust. Lightening flashed through the windows.
"What is taking them so long?" She murmured "I’m hungery"
With that the lights flickered low.
"Lauren stop come on that’s not funny."
"That wasn’t me."
Right there the power promptly went out.
"HA I SAVED THIS TIME" Peter screamed.
Lum made a small flame and walked toward Peter.
"So what do we do now?"
"How am I suppose to know?"
"Man…"
Just then Naomi appears and hops onto Peter’s lap scaring him.
"aww Mimi hi! Hey girl do you know how we can kill time until the others get back and the power gets fixed?"
Naomi sat there and then promptly changed in a blur
Back at the store
Kim walks toward the dairy case and tries to find the perfect milk.
"2%…low fat…skin….whole…"she murmurs
Just when she selects which milk to get the milk moves and a boy in a store apron steps out. He has shaggy black hair and green eyes. His nose and cheeks are bright red from the cold behind the fridge. His medium build actually makes him slightly taller than her. Kim jumps back then arches an eyebrow and proceeds to take her milk.
"Hey sorry if I startled you. I guess I should be a little more considerate."
"Yeah I guess." Kim turns around and starts walking towards the direction Cat and Nori had gone.
"Oh hey um look as an apology let me carry that for you."
"Um no that’s all right I can carry it myself…thanks though."
"No No come on I bet it’s cold you know and boy you’re all wet!" He points at her "is it raining outside? Well yeah let me get that for you I wouldn’t want you to get a chill."
He takes the gallon away from her
‘Who is this guy? A ‘chill’? What in the world? Do I look that stupid today?’ Kim thought
"So um can I have your name?" He asked
"What for?" She said not pausing
"Well it’s kinda customary for people to exchange names in an introduction form when they first met."
"Then go ahead introduce away."
"My name’s-" Boy clears his throat since it came out in a squeak, "My name’s Chris."
"Chris does a last name go attached to that?"
"Estes. Chris Estes. Now may I be graced with you name?"
"Kim."
"Just Kim-not Kimberly?"
"Yes Kimberly but no one calls me that."
"May I?"
She stops dead and gives him a death glare, "Look what do you--" She caught sight of his startled, bashful green eyes hiding behind his dark bangs and she softened.
The boy’s eyes shifted to everywhere but her. "want? Is that what you wanted to say? I don’t want anything. I just scared a pretty girl by accident and I wanted to make up for it. Is that all right?"
"That’s it?"
"Yes"
"Yeah okay you can call me Kimberly if you want."
"Good!"
"Is that Christopher too?"
"Yeah but I feel uptight when people call me that."
"All right Chris then."
Back in the check out line!!
"God what in the world we’re gonna be here for the rest of out lives." Nori groaned
"I noticed that too..."
"Hey! Psst! You girl with the hair the one in purple!"
Cat looked around and saw a blonde boy in a store apron waving her over.
"Come here!"
Cat looks around then points to herself. The boy nods vigorously.
"Cat he’s nice looking you should go over."
"And do what?"
"Well at least see what he wants."
Cat sighs and goes over leaving Nori with the cart.
"um hi" He says once she draws near.
"Hi…um did you need something?"
"Lol yeah kinda I need a favor--"
"No way" She turns to leave
"Wait please listen. You see I’m about to open this register and well I was wondering if you’d be my very very first customer. You see it’s my first day at the register and I want to remember it as the day a beautiful girl with short hair came to my register…not the lady with the prunes and too much make up or the lady with four ex husbands worth of alimony and social security." He points to some of the ladies in line. "Besides your captivating face will make it easier to get through the day of older women. So what do you say?"
Cat blushes deep red ‘Boy he’s a smooth talker.’
"Sure I guess. I’ll go get my friend."
Cat walked briskly back to Nori and on the way she heard the boy yell/whisper "YES!"
In other areas such as an area with no elecricity.
"WHEn you walk away YOU don’t here me say PLEASE OH BABY Don’t go!" Peter and Lum sang at the top of there lungs equally off key in the dark of the room. At the end of the song they started laughing. Naomi paused her memory drive for a moment to let them select another song in the –Karoke of Dark ness competition!
"Oh man what now?"
"Oh oh this one!"
Naomi processed the request and pulls up the song.
"It starts with you." Lum said quietly
" One thing I don’t know why it doesn’t even matter how hard I try ya try keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time."
"All I know"
"Time is a valuable thing watch it fly by as pendulum swings watch it count down til the end of the day ticks life away it’s so
"Unreal"
"Ya didn’t look out below…"
Back in less…musical places…
"Um so are you hear alone?"
"No I’m here with my friends they’re right over there." Kim pointed to Cat and Lum who where watching groceries being scanned.
"Oh that’s Joey’s register it’s his first day."
Once reunited Cat gave Kim a look that said in all plainness "Whose the boy? Where’d he come from? Do you know him? What’s going on?" Nori gave the "aww good job are you going out with him?" look Kim shook her head and then pointed to the bag boy with the name Sammy pinned to his shirt who was staring at Nori who was encouraging him by winking thus making him totally missed the bag he was suppose to be placing the vegetables in and Joey as he drop a can for the 100th time because he kept trying to look at Cat while he was scanning.
Someplace else!
"Come on Come on hurry!" Ri yelled as all the Chibi’s raced for the bags to hop into. Both clouds were weighted down with the weight of two people each.
They just made it as the last bag was being placed on the dolly.
"Um Dante?" Pan murmured
"hmm?"
"Will you come visit me at the Sanctuary sometime?"
He shook his head, "No sorry I can’t do that."
"Oh I see…"Pan said quietly
"But I have nothing against maybe meeting up with you in the Balcony."
Pan turned around happily.
"Sure!"
"Come by whenever okay?"
"Really?"
Dante realized he might have been coming off as a little too nice. So he cleared his throat,
"I mean if you want I mean just to hang out and whatever nothing major."
The words didn’t even phase Pan.
The girls dropped off the boys in the fruit bag and they went to the bread bag.
Back in the full sized world
Once every thing got rung up and they paid Nori took the receipt and the girls were about to leave when Chris stepped forward.
"Um hey…um I wanted to ask you something."
Kim paused and gave him the eyebrow
"You know carrying that gallon was for you was um kinda fun Iwas wondering if maybe we could maybe get together and uh…."he stammered.
"Yeah um I was wondering if I could get to know you since you saved me…."Joey began
"Um Dude I just think you’re pretty and I want to know if the heart inside is as nice as the outside." Sammy Finished.
Nori laughed and wrote the groups phone number on the receipt.
"We all live there" She said with a smile handing it to Sammy.
"Nori!" Nori walked out without bothering to listen to the others as they grabbed the bags and ran after her. Once they left Chris and Joey jumped on Sammy trying to get the paper. They ended up ripping it in three pieces. Then trying desperately to tape it together
Once everyone got home the power was back but the pair were on there 35th song which was
"I’m Gunnin down Romance! It never did a thing for me but heart ache and misery ain’t nothin but a tragedy! LOVE DON’T Leave ME! Take these broken wings! And learn to fly!"
The End
Okay okay this is mostly a little sweet lovey dovey crappy fic I wass in good mood when it came about so yeah to Lum-I apologize but you get abused in this story and you mainly just Kareoke with Peter. Which I must also Aplogize to because I’ve noticed a trend that I mainly focus on Peter Lum and myself as characters in most of the spork Fics and in this one I did Cat and Nori and I think it came out so sugar sweet that your vains will crystalize!

::After a while The girls finally reach the grocery store. They walked the isles pretty uneventfully but a few of the girls consciences weren’t quiet so calm.::

Pan slowly gets off, sitting on her feet but continues staring at the boy.
"I guess I should help you up" the mysterious boy said offering his hand….of course that isn’t what Pan heard…Pan heard more along the lines of: "Are you hurt? Is there anything I can do?" but then she snapped out of it thank goodness….
"yeah um.." blush deepens as she stands up "I’m so sorry I should have watched were I was going…"
"Yeah you should have." The boy replied
"Dante that isn’t very nice!" Pan’s eyes looked up another boy. He looked very much like Dante as he’d just been named… but his hair was sandy brown ad his eyes were golden also he was missing this cool, calm, bad boy aura that Dante had.

"Fine"
They walked in silence and then Pan tried to put back the gum. It was on the top shelf and she hadn’t thought how hard this would be to do without Ri. As Pan finally placed the gum on the shelf she leaned against it to push it back on the shelf. By the time she realized she had run out of cloud it was too late.
"Pan…Pan be careful…Pan you’re on the edge."
"Whose cloud is this?! Okay I think I know how big—ahh!"
"Pan!" Dante spread his wings and flew up to her cradling her in his arms. She clung to him in fear and the finally relaxed a little to see him looking down at her. She pulled completely away blushing and nearly fell out of his arms. He swerved a little but shook his head to regain control.
"Would you sit still? If not I’ll crash." In truth it wasn’t her wiggeling that had made him lose control it was her scent. Dante had never smelt anything so sweet. Cat smelled good to him but this was a different sweet a different girl smell. It was like Lilies…White ones a flower of death but still also of something else he couldn’t place. The scent made him dizzy and submissive. They reached the ground unscathed and he put her down.
"Thank you." She said not looking at him trying to get her cheeks to stop blushing.
"Your welcome" he said in return looking far to the right shaking his head now and again to get his wits about him.
Pan put two fingers in her mouth and whistled.
Her cloud came down and she hopped on.
"Um …you wanna ride?" She asked
"Um…you know since I already have my wings…"his voice dropped as he saw the look of hope in her face. "sure"
"Hop on ! It goes mighty fast and I wouldn’t want you to fall off!"
Dante sat down and tried to figure out what to hang on to. Sadly the cloud took off and he still hadn’t found it. He screamed as he flew off and Pan grabbed his arm pulling him back on to the cloud.
"Geeze! Thanks for the warning1" Dante yelled
"I did warn you!" With that they made their way back to the others.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the grocery store.
"We are not buying that!" Kim screetched
"But Penguin likes Lucky Charms!" Nori yelled
"He ate all the food in the house so it obviously doesn’t matter what we buy he’ll eat it!" Kim growled.
Cat sat between the two girls pushing the shopping cart.
"Kim, why does it matter whether we get the blasted cereal or not." Cat asked
"We don’t have enough money to cater to everyone’s whims!"
"Here here Jesus I mean what it is two dollars here take this take a five get the animal whatever it likes." Cat pulls out a five from her pocket.
By now the shopping cart was full of food ranging from fruits and vegetables to meats and an assortment of junk.
"Okay the last thing we need to get is…um…milk." Cat says taking charge of the situation.
"Okay I’ll get that." Kim said "You go stand in line and I’ll be right there okay?"
Nori and Catherine agree and go to stand in the check out line…which is now about 60 senior citizen type people since…there is only…one register open….
Elsewhere!
"Are you done yet?" Lum fumed
"No not yet." Peter sing songed back
She growled and went to the kitchen and opened the fridge then closed it in disgust. Lightening flashed through the windows.
"What is taking them so long?" She murmured "I’m hungery"
With that the lights flickered low.
"Lauren stop come on that’s not funny."
"That wasn’t me."
Right there the power promptly went out.
"HA I SAVED THIS TIME" Peter screamed.
Lum made a small flame and walked toward Peter.
"So what do we do now?"
"How am I suppose to know?"
"Man…"
Just then Naomi appears and hops onto Peter’s lap scaring him.
"aww Mimi hi! Hey girl do you know how we can kill time until the others get back and the power gets fixed?"
Naomi sat there and then promptly changed in a blur
Back at the store
Kim walks toward the dairy case and tries to find the perfect milk.
"2%…low fat…skin….whole…"she murmurs
Just when she selects which milk to get the milk moves and a boy in a store apron steps out. He has shaggy black hair and green eyes. His nose and cheeks are bright red from the cold behind the fridge. His medium build actually makes him slightly taller than her. Kim jumps back then arches an eyebrow and proceeds to take her milk.
"Hey sorry if I startled you. I guess I should be a little more considerate."
"Yeah I guess." Kim turns around and starts walking towards the direction Cat and Nori had gone.
"Oh hey um look as an apology let me carry that for you."
"Um no that’s all right I can carry it myself…thanks though."
"No No come on I bet it’s cold you know and boy you’re all wet!" He points at her "is it raining outside? Well yeah let me get that for you I wouldn’t want you to get a chill."
He takes the gallon away from her
‘Who is this guy? A ‘chill’? What in the world? Do I look that stupid today?’ Kim thought
"So um can I have your name?" He asked
"What for?" She said not pausing
"Well it’s kinda customary for people to exchange names in an introduction form when they first met."
"Then go ahead introduce away."
"My name’s-" Boy clears his throat since it came out in a squeak, "My name’s Chris."
"Chris does a last name go attached to that?"
"Estes. Chris Estes. Now may I be graced with you name?"
"Kim."
"Just Kim-not Kimberly?"
"Yes Kimberly but no one calls me that."
"May I?"
She stops dead and gives him a death glare, "Look what do you--" She caught sight of his startled, bashful green eyes hiding behind his dark bangs and she softened.
The boy’s eyes shifted to everywhere but her. "want? Is that what you wanted to say? I don’t want anything. I just scared a pretty girl by accident and I wanted to make up for it. Is that all right?"
"That’s it?"
"Yes"
"Yeah okay you can call me Kimberly if you want."
"Good!"
"Is that Christopher too?"
"Yeah but I feel uptight when people call me that."
"All right Chris then."
Back in the check out line!!
"God what in the world we’re gonna be here for the rest of out lives." Nori groaned
"I noticed that too..."
"Hey! Psst! You girl with the hair the one in purple!"
Cat looked around and saw a blonde boy in a store apron waving her over.
"Come here!"
Cat looks around then points to herself. The boy nods vigorously.
"Cat he’s nice looking you should go over."
"And do what?"
"Well at least see what he wants."
Cat sighs and goes over leaving Nori with the cart.
"um hi" He says once she draws near.
"Hi…um did you need something?"
"Lol yeah kinda I need a favor--"
"No way" She turns to leave
"Wait please listen. You see I’m about to open this register and well I was wondering if you’d be my very very first customer. You see it’s my first day at the register and I want to remember it as the day a beautiful girl with short hair came to my register…not the lady with the prunes and too much make up or the lady with four ex husbands worth of alimony and social security." He points to some of the ladies in line. "Besides your captivating face will make it easier to get through the day of older women. So what do you say?"
Cat blushes deep red ‘Boy he’s a smooth talker.’
"Sure I guess. I’ll go get my friend."
Cat walked briskly back to Nori and on the way she heard the boy yell/whisper "YES!"
In other areas such as an area with no elecricity.
"WHEn you walk away YOU don’t here me say PLEASE OH BABY Don’t go!" Peter and Lum sang at the top of there lungs equally off key in the dark of the room. At the end of the song they started laughing. Naomi paused her memory drive for a moment to let them select another song in the –Karoke of Dark ness competition!
"Oh man what now?"
"Oh oh this one!"
Naomi processed the request and pulls up the song.
"It starts with you." Lum said quietly
" One thing I don’t know why it doesn’t even matter how hard I try ya try keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time."
"All I know"
"Time is a valuable thing watch it fly by as pendulum swings watch it count down til the end of the day ticks life away it’s so
"Unreal"
"Ya didn’t look out below…"
Back in less…musical places…
"Um so are you hear alone?"
"No I’m here with my friends they’re right over there." Kim pointed to Cat and Lum who where watching groceries being scanned.
"Oh that’s Joey’s register it’s his first day."
Once reunited Cat gave Kim a look that said in all plainness "Whose the boy? Where’d he come from? Do you know him? What’s going on?" Nori gave the "aww good job are you going out with him?" look Kim shook her head and then pointed to the bag boy with the name Sammy pinned to his shirt who was staring at Nori who was encouraging him by winking thus making him totally missed the bag he was suppose to be placing the vegetables in and Joey as he drop a can for the 100th time because he kept trying to look at Cat while he was scanning.
Someplace else!
"Come on Come on hurry!" Ri yelled as all the Chibi’s raced for the bags to hop into. Both clouds were weighted down with the weight of two people each.
They just made it as the last bag was being placed on the dolly.
"Um Dante?" Pan murmured
"hmm?"
"Will you come visit me at the Sanctuary sometime?"
He shook his head, "No sorry I can’t do that."
"Oh I see…"Pan said quietly
"But I have nothing against maybe meeting up with you in the Balcony."
Pan turned around happily.
"Sure!"
"Come by whenever okay?"
"Really?"
Dante realized he might have been coming off as a little too nice. So he cleared his throat,
"I mean if you want I mean just to hang out and whatever nothing major."
The words didn’t even phase Pan.
The girls dropped off the boys in the fruit bag and they went to the bread bag.
Back in the full sized world
Once every thing got rung up and they paid Nori took the receipt and the girls were about to leave when Chris stepped forward.
"Um hey…um I wanted to ask you something."
Kim paused and gave him the eyebrow
"You know carrying that gallon was for you was um kinda fun Iwas wondering if maybe we could maybe get together and uh…."he stammered.
"Yeah um I was wondering if I could get to know you since you saved me…."Joey began
"Um Dude I just think you’re pretty and I want to know if the heart inside is as nice as the outside." Sammy Finished.
Nori laughed and wrote the groups phone number on the receipt.
"We all live there" She said with a smile handing it to Sammy.
"Nori!" Nori walked out without bothering to listen to the others as they grabbed the bags and ran after her. Once they left Chris and Joey jumped on Sammy trying to get the paper. They ended up ripping it in three pieces. Then trying desperately to tape it together
Once everyone got home the power was back but the pair were on there 35th song which was
"I’m Gunnin down Romance! It never did a thing for me but heart ache and misery ain’t nothin but a tragedy! LOVE DON’T Leave ME! Take these broken wings! And learn to fly!"
The End
