Sequence Three

Four Months later…

Reesa and Melik sat together in a restaurant with three other friends. Melik was wearing a black tuxedo, and black shoes. Reesa was wearing a silky-purple dress, with her hair curled, and sneakers.

They had just finished eating chajio, chakula cha jioni at the fine establishment, and were deeply involved in some humorous stories. Turlock, a slightly plump male chipmunk with brown brushed-back hair, and also a tuxedo was making most of the jokes.

“Here’s another one!” Turlock began enthusiastically. “So I while I was at the office yesterday, Bronks walks in two hours late and terrified. The boss yells at the poor kid for nearly ten minutes, and his only explanation was that he was playing Splinter Cell all night, and was convinced that Sam Fischer was gonna sneak in and twist his neck. So the whole work day, everyone that came near him set him off in ways wewe won’t believe! Seriously, the closer wewe got, the zaidi he vibrated! He must have been so high on something, because MAN was he tripped!”

“Poor Bronks.” Felicia, a female skunk wearing a neck-strap black and purple dress, curled hair, bracelets and sandals, chuckled. “He’s the intern from Gale, correct?”

“You are indeed.” Turlock informed as he continued. “And the best part was that one of the other guys snuck out and got to the Dollar Store. He bought a ton of anything he could think of that was Splinter Cell! Unfortunately Corinth didn’t know squat about the game, and ended up looking like a scuba-diver. He scared the tired out Bronks… but the boss also saw him. We got tons of pics. Wanna see em?”

“Got that right!” Aaron, another (male) skunk, but with an Australian accent (no relation to St. John), wearing a blue over-shirt, a white undershirt, and tan jeans, exclaimed as he nudged near Turlock’s video camera, as did the others.


“… Poor Bronks and other guy.” Reesa chuckled.

“Well that proves it.” Melik announced. “Computer games are evil… and so is time. We’ve gotta go.”

“Already?” Felicia asked in a slightly annoyed tone. “You two are your work.”

“Yeah, what happened to your job at the grocery store, Melik?” Turlock asked. “You made good pay didn’t you?”

“Yes, but then I decided it would be better to work side-by-side with the upendo of my life.” Melik alisema in a caring, yet teasing tone. The others gave a large “awwwwwwwwwwwwwww”, while Reesa became flushed with fury and flattery.

“Come on then, Side-by-boy.” Reesa ordered as she dragged her boyfriend out of the restaurant. The two of them waved to their friends, then made their way through the heavy rain (no gaming pun intended XD).

“I’ll see wewe tomorrow?” Melik asked as he held Reesa’s hands out with his. He knew the answer of course, as did Reesa.

“Of course.” Reesa alisema with a sweet smile. She geve Melik a large hug, then walked off. Melik couldn’t help but smile at how lucky he thought he was, then walked off himself.

The inayofuata morning…

Melik did not come to work that day. He was supposed to help arrange a large amount of documents with Reesa, but now she was doing it kwa herself. She was finally finished, and due to her large work-efforts, she was let off two hours earlier, as the inayofuata stage of her task would not be able to be complete without Melik’s aid.

Reesa was quite miffed at the Acid-Monster whom she couldn’t decide whether to yell at au forgive. She tiredly walked into her house, with her arms completely worn out. Tiffin walked up to her and immediately began to play around in her bag once she had placed it on the ground.

She landed hard on her couch, which caused a large gas-passing-sound to come out of it, which startled the fragile Banshee. She gave a large sigh as she calmed down, then turned on the TV.

Directly after she had done this, she got a phone call.

“… grrrrrr…” Reesa hit the mute button then dragged herself to the phone. She knew who was calling her.

“Melik I had to do the whole thing kwa myself! What were wewe doing?! Sleeping in?! inayofuata time can wewe worn me?! What if I was worried about wewe and called the cops au something?!”

Melik probably would have gotten angry, but Reesa sounded so concerned that he could only chuckle a bit. “Sorry, Reesa. I told Melcro that I was taking the siku off for something. Guess he never told you. I need to meet wewe somewhere.”

“… Where…???” She grumbled.

“The large kisima, chemchemi at turquoise-park. There’s something I need to give you.”

“Fine…” Reesa would have slammed the off button if it was possible. She was too annoyed to even care about what it is he was talking about. She walked over, and got her bag, of which Tiffin was now jumping out of while carrying two chocolate-bars… she didn’t go after him.

Later…

Reesa met up with Melik who didn’t seem to have anything… there was something in his hands though, but she didn’t really notice. “Okay this had better b-“

“Reesa,” Melik interrupted. He knelt down on one knee, then spoke the words that only made things worse and amazing at the same time, “Will wewe marry me?”. He opened up a small black box. The ring inside was a loop of purple and silver ribbon-like shapes. In the middle was a night-blue stone. A stone that Banshee’s used as a symbol to their race.

Reesa didn’t even answer for a moment out of shock. “OH, STUPID!!!” She thought to herself. “OF COURSE IT WAS A PROPSAL! I’M AN IDIOT! AND I GOT ALL MAD AND DAH!” Finally she was able to stutter out “A-are y-you sure…?”

“Of course I’m sure.” Melik answered with his legs started to get sore. “Why not?”

“W-well we could get in trouble… with our… species… I mean, I want to, I mean I-…”

“Reesa, I upendo you. Nothing anyone can do will change that. I don’t care who finds us as long as I’m with you. wewe mean the world to me, and I never want to live without you.” Melik knew very well that this was extremely dangerous. Not only would this bring attention to them both, but what would happen at their job, au when they had children, if they had children.

Reesa wanted to say no with all her might, but the pitiful love-struck eyes of her undeserved-lover kept her at a daze. Finally she spoke out weakly, as if a whisper… “Yes.”

And with that Melik rushed up from his stance and the two mobian-“Hellborns” shared a passionate loving kiss. They both felt the dread of this decision, but at that moment, as the kisima, chemchemi behind them danced with its colors, they felt content. At that moment, no one could judge them. No one could separate them, au hurt them. This moment, however brief, was theirs, and no one else’s. This was their moment of happiness.
