Chocolate Syrup Overdose Chapter 5 - Muddy Boobooheads (continued) Mamoru broke the silence again. "Can we play a game now, Rei?" "Sure," Rei said in a bored voice. Mamoru smiled. "Which game can we play, Rei? Do you know a good one?" "How about.... the Quiet Game? That's a favorite of mine..." Rei said sarcastically. "That sounds boring, Rei. Let's play a different one. Let's play Red Rover!" "Mamoru, there aren't enough people to play Red Rover." "Oh... Ummm... Let's play... Red Light Green Light! You can be the light!" "Mamoru, you would win anyway. You'd be the only one racing." "Oh...OK... Let's play Duck Duck Goose!" Rei sighed. She didn't want this list of games to go on forever. "Fine. Duck Duck Goose it is." Mamoru smiled. Rei moved away from the bush and sat in the middle of the clearing. "I'll be 'it' first, OK Rei??" "OK, Mamoru." She still looked bored. Mamoru stood up and walked over to Rei. He stopped right beside her. He took a deep breath and reached out to pat Rei's head seven times. "Duck.... duck.... duck.... duck.... duck.... duck....GOOSE!" Rei jumped up and ran as fast as she could away from the clearing and Mamoru. Mamoru stood still for a minute, but it then sank in that Rei was already gone. He ran right after her. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Will they still be there by the time we get there, Makoto?" Usagi asked. "I hope so," Makoto said. Usagi took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Usagi. We're almost there. Nothing could have happened in the short time I left them." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Rei laughed as she ran off. She went on for a second before thinking she might need to slow down. She stopped and turned around to make sure that Mamoru was still following her, but didn't realize how close he actually was. His eyes widened as he ran right into her, sending them both right into a pile of gummy mud. Mamoru girl-screamed, and Rei groaned. "Oh yuck... Mamoru, why did you do that?" "I didn't do it!! It was all your fault!!" "No, it wasnt! You shouldn't have been chasing me so closely!!" "Nuh-uh, you shouldn't have stopped. I'm supposed to chase you, that's the point of the game, booboohead..." "Booboohead??" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Usagi and Makoto were almost to the clearing when they heard a scream. They walked a bit faster and heard people talking. " - the point of the game, booboohead..." "Booboohead??" "Guys?" Usagi said. "What are you doing? What did you do, Rei?" "I didn't do anything! It was his fault. He ran right into me... and now my shirt's covered in mud... " "Usagi," he whined. "It was her fault! She stopped and made me trip on her. And I'm muddy, too." Makoto sighed. "You guys are a mess," she said. "Come on, let's get back to the arcade. Ami and Minako will be there soon." Makoto helped Rei up and pulled her along. Usagi went to Mamoru as he stood up and tried to get some mud off of him. "Usagi... It really wasn't my fault... And I don't like mud..." "Don't worry about it. We'll fix it. Come on." Usagi started after Makoto and Rei, and Mamoru walked up beside her. She looked over to Mamoru, who grinned widely and reached over to hold her hand. Usagi smiled back, and they continued on to the arcade, hand in hand. |
