Chapter 8: Ceviche

Previous Chapter Next Chapter
Ceviche

So heres that chapter I promised.


So I believe this chapter is better than the other two combined, but apparently Im terrible at judging what I write, so you decide. I didnt really know how to end it, so I went with an apology present that could definitely add a few extra chapters later on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow Dash Jefferson, I swear to Christmas, if you pour more water on me because I wont get up, I will throw your Xbox out the window.

You wouldnt dare!

Try me. You hear the metal bucket make contact with the floor and you sigh.

Thank you. You say while letting your mind go blank so you could sleep.

Well you said you would do whatever I wanted for the whole week. I want you to get up. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

You decide to ignore her and pretend youre asleep. You feel part of the bed sink down and poking in your side.

Wake up, wake up, wake up-You sit up and put your hand over her mouth.

I. Am. Up. You know youre almost as bad as Pinkie, you know that? You say propping yourself up on one arm.

No Im not! Ive been waiting for like she looks slightly towards the ceiling thinking, a whole five minutes waiting for you to get up! Youre fucking kidding me

You have friends, why dont you go out with them? Its a Saturday and you have no plans?

No I had plans, but the problem is YOU didnt. I couldnt just let my roommate be alone on a Saturday now could I? So now you have plans, youre going with me to the mall. Hmm

Oh Dashie are you asking me out on a date?! you say in your most feminine southern voice possible, throwing your arms around her. She breaks free and grunts.

No Im not asking you on a date! Saturday: Rainbow:0 Me:1

Are you sure? Surely you could have just asked me if I wanted to come with you and your friends for your plans. You say getting up and walking over to the dresser.

Well I- You see- I- Saturday: Rainbow:0 Me:2

Im just kidding Dash; I thought you would already be used to me already. You say picking out a pair of jeans and a plain yellow t-shirt and putting them on. Normally you wouldnt change in front of a girl, but this was Dash, plus all it did was make her blush and look anywhere that wasnt near you at the time. Hmmm

I cant go with you today Dash, sorry. I was planning on calling Octavia and asking her on a date. You say taking out your phone and pretend to swipe up and down on it. Silence. You look up to see Dash sitting on the edge of your bed, on the verge of tears biting her bottom lip. Oh shit, too far?

Hey Dash I was just kid- She puts her face in her hands and you hear her sniff. Fuck. You sit down next to her and set your phone in your lap.

Dash, I was just-Her hand reaches out and grabs your phone.

Wait what the f-She takes the phone and puts it in her shirt.

Youre going to the mall with me. You grin.

That was a pretty dirty trick Rainbow. You say with a slight chuckle. Saturday: Rainbow:1 Me:2

Im just that awesome. She said walking towards the door. You start following her, since practically your whole life is on your phone. (Lets just assume its a Droid Razr)

So how far away is this mall you want to go to?

About half an hour, why?

Im still tired.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You turn down the stereo in the limo.

Hey, whyd you turn it down?

Why do you skip class? Okay, remember, she moves her right finger to her left when shes lieing. She shrugs her shoulders while saying;

I dont know. Lie.

There has to be a reason.

No reason. Another lie.

Alright, how about this, you get to ask me any question you want, and I will tell you nothing but the truth when I respond. But, you have to do the same for me.

No deal Wait for it

WellYou promise that you wont lie? You nod your head.

Do you like that waitress Octavia? Trademark hostility.

I do like her, but only as a friend, if we could even be considered that. I mean, we probably talked for a grand total of like ten minutes.

Why did you flirt with her at dinner then?

I wasnt flirting, I was helping a girl who was on her first day on the job. Plus I have my eyes on another girl currently. She raises an eyebrow,

Who?

You got two in a row, I get two in a row. Why do you skip class?

Because I dont feel like going to class. She says shrugging her shoulders, slightly annoyed. Alright, shes not lying to me at least.

Alright Are you a virgin?

WHAT?! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Im just kidding Dash, relax. Why are you so friendly with me? I mean, we havent seen each other in like 6 years or something, plus we were like 6 or 7 years old.

You saved my life, I owe you something.

No you dont, I did what anyone else would do, I helped you.

No, I do owe you something; you took off your jacket, gave it to me, and then laid on top of me, only wearing a sweater. It was probably at most fifteen degrees outside! Kids do stupid things

Alright, you owe me something. I want you to at least try to do better in school, and stop skipping class. Silence accompanied by beautiful magenta eyes staring daggers in to you.

Why do you care about how I do in school?

Because I didnt risk my life to save a slacker. You say throwing an arm around her and pulling her in for a hug.

Fine, fair enough. Ill try and do better if youre willing to help me if I need it.

Im not going anywhere Rainbow, plus if my little Dashie needs help with her homework, Ill be more than happy to lend her a hand. You say messing up her rainbow hair.

Youre still a pretty big idiot Why does everyone say that? I get like straight As

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The divider rolled down and the driver, Mr. Walls, said;

Were just arriving, do you want me to drop you off in the front? You start to say something, but Dash cuts you off.

No, because you will be coming with us Mr. Walls.

Of course Miss Jefferson. She frowns at that and you decide youre going to call her Miss Jefferson every now and again. It takes Mister Walls a good twenty minutes to find a parking space that a limousine would fit in, it was pretty far away from the mall itself. There were practically no parking spaces, but he eventually found one, and then he opened the door for you and Dash.

The Mall was huge, you appeared to be in the front parking area for it, and you were pretty far away, and it was still huge, but it looked to be about three stories high, and it went back pretty far.

The biggest mall in Vermont. Dash says while slapping the bottom of your chin to make it go up. Apparently it had been open

It starts to rain a bit and the sudden cold sensation on your arm makes you jump a bit. Mister Walls pulls out an umbrella from out of nowhere, and holds it above you and Dash. Thats not fair.

You take the umbrella from him and slide him in to your place underneath the umbrella, so now only him and Dash were under the umbrella.

Excuse me, but that is my job

Everyone needs a break every once in a while, right? you state plainly, shivering from the cold.

You are too nice. Dash says with a smile on her face.

Indeed. Oh Mister Walls

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you get inside, your jaw drops again, this time you actually feel it drop. There were at least fifteen different stores on both your left and right. You continued to walk straight, Rainbow holding onto your arm with both of hers, and made it to a railing overlooking a giant portion of the mall.

From where you were at, you thought the place was like a giant plus sign. It looked like you were on the middle floor, two floors below you; two on top of you and the bottom floor looked to be like a giant food court. It reminded you of a giant Main Area from campus, stores leading North, South, East, and west from the main point in the center, a plethora of shops all in lines along the walls. From the bottom floor going up, there were escalators that went in spirals, all around.

The spiral escalators looked like something straight from a science fiction movie, there was enough room on them for 5 people to stand side by side on one stair, and they were a smooth eggshell white. There looked to be about a dozen of each escalator, twelve going up, twelve going down, all spread out throughout the middle of the plus structure, and each having an exit to every floor.

The floor of the cafeteria looked amazing, lights bursting neon colors every step someone took on it. Im assuming that its a giant touch screen floor? There were certain sections of the touch floor that kids were playing games on, and one specific one caught your eye. The game was constantly moving with cars, and kids were taking turns trying to run across without getting hit. Frogger? I have to play that.

The majority of the giant touch screen food court was basically tables for people to sit at and eat, and all of the tables seemed to be a faded glass, semitransparent.

Rainbow, did we just step into science fiction movie? She grinned and said,

No, this is paradise! Well Rainbow, I give you that. This place blows my mind Saturday: Rainbow:2 Me:2

I thought the exact same thing when I first came here. It was just built last year, and this place is open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. She says spreading her arms out over the open area in front of you.

Alright, first things first, I want my phone back. She looks at you genuinely confused for a second and then remembers she still has your phone.

Oh sorry, I forgot I had it she reaches into her shirt and takes it from her bra you assume, and places it into your open hand.

Oh thats just great Rainbow, its warm. You say sliding it into your pocket. Two really cute girls with shopping bags walk past you and you cant help but stare, but when you rip your gaze from them you see Rainbow looking at you like you just stabbed someone.

What? They were pretty and she smacks you upside the head.

Come on lover boy, Im hungry. She says while motioning Mr. Walls to come. You step onto one of the spiral escalators that were going down, and you immediately felt like a little boy who was seeing a new movie.

Rainbow, we are going to be getting on those a lot right? you say as the three of you step off of the escalator onto the bottom floor, bright neon lights exploding at your feet.

Oh my blueberry muffins, that is so sick you say walking small circles to make the effect keep going.

You look so ridiculous Rainbow says while grinning, Come on; lets go find something to eat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow, you are like the stereotypical gamer. You say sitting down next to Rainbow, Mr. Walls sitting across from you.

Do explain?

You play Call of Duty, you rage, you throw your controller, and you get really excited when you get a kill streak, and now youre eating Chinese food. I dont know, just something about it screams Call of Duty gamer

Oh haha really funny, well what about you? You look like your stereotypical player.

Do explain Miss Jefferson. Saturday: Rainbow: 2 Me: 3, Daaaaw look at the cute little frown.

Dont call me that. But anyway, you flirt with every girl you meet it seems- you cut her off,

I do not, name three.

Rarity, Octavia, and Twilight, well from what Ive heard that is.

I did not flirt with any of them. Well maybe Rarity just a tad, but to the other two I was just being nice

Too nice.

Oh stop being jealous. you say sticking out your tongue.

I am not jealous!

Then stop acting like you are then. Saturday: Rainbow: 2 Me: 4

You two bicker like a married couple. Mister Walls says with a chuckle. The fuck Walls

No we dont Mr. Walls you say taking out your phone and finding Octavias phone number and calling it. You stared at Rainbow as you held the phone up to your ear.

Who are you calling? you raise a finger to shhh her and then put that same finger in your ear so you could hear.

Hello?

Hey is this Octavia? Oh man, I can feel the daggers in my skin Rainbow

Yes, who is this? Huh, how did I not notice her small trace of a British accent?

Oh hey, its that guy you served at the diner, the one who helped you out.

Oh hey! Whats up? her voice immediately got more upbeat, and you looked at Rainbow who was still glaring daggers at you, and Mr. Walls who looked amused.

Oh hey I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to- and then Rainbow took the phone from you and ended the call.

What the heck Rainbow?!

Youre a jerk, you know that. Ow, that hit me right where it hurts Rainbow Haha

Oh come on, you dont think I was actually going to ask her out right? I was only checking to see if she really did think I was flirting with her.

So you were checking by almost asking her out?

No, well, maybe But I figured out that you may have been right on the Octavia part

Of course I was right; you practically had her eating out of your hands when we were at the diner. My dad seemed pretty amused by it.

So you are jealous when I supposedly flirt with other girls that arent you?

Hah, you dont flirt with me. Saturday: Rainbow: 3 Me: 4

Alright, so you are just bothered when I just flirt with girls in general? you say standing up, one specific girl catching your eye.

I dont get jealous, especially over some goodie two shoes guy my dad handpicked for that special program. She said putting a finger under one of her eyes and pulling it down showing you the white of her eye.

Alright. You say as you walk over to a single girl standing looking lonely, about twenty feet away.

The girl looked to be about 18, give or take a year. She had blue hair that had two colors, one a darker blue, and one an almost aqua blue. She looked to be about the same height as Rainbow, just about at the bridge of your nose. She had blue headphones that matched her hair around her neck, and her white t-shirt said Wub Wub Wub. Alright, maybe she likes dubstep. She looked pretty bored, looking literally everywhere to try and find something to entertain herself.

Hello there young lady, are you lost? Haha, I'm only 15. Man that sounds strange.

Oh, hi, and no Im not lost; Im just waiting for my friends. She says turning to you, Wow, cool red eyes.

Well why dont I wait with you?

I suppose. She said obviously not interested. You glance over to Rainbow who was grinning.

So whats your name? you say trying to make small talk.

Im Vinyl Scratch, and you are?

Oh Im- you say right as a man on the loud speaker came on and said;

If you are missing a small child by the name of Ceviche (Se-Vee-Chey), he is at the main help desk on the ground floor. And his words blended together with yours, so only Vinyl heard what you said.

Ceviche? Vinyl says giggling to herself.

Oh dont laugh, I think Ceviche is a very cool name. you say laughing a bit too.

Of course you do, with a name like yours.

And I suppose Vinyl Scratch isnt a funny name either?

Of course not! My name is awesome. Vinyl says pointing to herself. You glance Rainbows way to see her staring at you, tapping her fingers on the table.

So surely a pretty woman as yourself has a boyfriend, correct?

No, why do you ask? she says adjusting her hair with her hand.

Oh no reason, though I am quite surprised you dont have one.

Youd be surprised at how many guys are afraid to approach me. Really?

Do you by chance listen to dubstep? Her eyes brighten up a bit.

Yes I do, I actually am just starting to produce some of my own. Right now Im currently only making dubstep, but eventually I want to expand and make all sorts of different types of electronic music.

Thats awesome, I hope you make it big, you sound like a big enthusiast for music, you know, the headphones and the shirt. you say motioning towards each item as you said it.

Yep, I am.

Well did you know Im a TV celebrity?

Oh really? she says, her body language changing so she appeared to certainly find you entertaining.

Oh you know, you probably have seen me on shows like, you look her dead in the eye with a poker face, To Catch a Predator you say adding a warm smile at the end. She starts laughing quite loud and you notice she has touched your arm at least three times, and you have only been talking to her for maybe less than two minutes. Two girls appear to her side, wondering why she was laughing so hysterically, and you smile warmly at both of them who smile back.

Youre the first one to make our Vinyl here laugh this hard in a long time one of the girls say, the other one giving you a thumbs up behind Vinyls head so she couldnt see.

Well thats great. Well, I kept you entertained until your friends got here Vinyl, so I guess Ill be leaving. You say turning around and walking towards Dash, who was now visibly ticked off, her face extremely red and her hands clenched into fists.

A hand grabs your arm as you turn to walk towards Dash, and you see Vinyl smiling at you,

The least I can do for you is at least give you my phone number she says, holding out her hand for your phone. You give it to her and unlock it, and she puts her phone number in, sets a new ringtone, and takes a picture of herself and applies it on the contact information.

Bye. Vinyl said turning around and leaving with her two friends. Girls are fucking different here. I would have gotten slapped if I was anywhere but Vermont

You walk back and sit next to Mr. Walls, not wanting to find out if Rainbow wanted to hit you or not.

My boy, you certainly know how to push Miss Jeffersons buttons here, he says gently waving his arm in her direction, It looks like she is about to jump over the table and murder you or something, and I dont think I would be able to pull her off of you in time. He says with a grin.

You okay there Rainbow? You said it didnt bother you if I flirted with girls right? you say in a teasing voice.

Yea. I didnt. She said standing up and taking up her tray, empting it in a bin that was right next to the table.

If you say so you say emptying your tray.

She starts to walk off, but Mister Walls motions for you to come over and listen to him.

You know, you are either a really big jerk, or a completely clueless idiot.

Everyone is saying that Im an idiot, and I have no idea why. I get As and Bs

Im talking about with Miss Jefferson, have you honestly not figured it out yet? he says, concern in his voice.

What do you mean? He sighs and says

Just think about it and starts to walk off after Rainbow.

Whats there to think about? you call out after him, trying to catch up with the two of them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow had cooled off significantly from your little stunt that you pulled earlier. At first she wouldnt talk to you, she would just turn around and ignore you. At least now she would acknowledge your presence and hold a short 10 second conversation with you. Currently you were bored out of your mind sitting on a bench with Mister Jefferson outside of a Victorias Secret. Oh wait, I know what I can do.

Hey, do you think you could cover for me?

Depends on what you plan on doing?

Well, Im going to go buy something for Rainbow, try and get her to stop being angry at me.

Did you finally piece it all together?

I still have no idea what youre talking about he sighed and said

Fine, just go. Dont be gone too long; let me see your phone. You give him your phone and he puts in his phone number.

Call this number if you get lost. He says, holding out your phone.

One last thing, do you know Mr. Jeffersons phone number? you say not taking the phone back immediately.

Sure do. He puts Mr. Jeffersons number into your phone and gives it back to you.

Be back soon, I dont want to get fired because I let you go off and wander.

Ill be back, dont worry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yea, I dont know what I was planning on doing. You think walking around just looking around the stores. You didnt want to buy her something expansive; you wanted to get her something she would really like. You considered stopping at a game store and buying her something, or stopping and buying her a shirt that said 20% Cooler, but you crossed both of those out. You decide to use your last resort; you take out your phone and call Mr. Jefferson.

Hello, Mr. Jeffersons office, this is Janet, how may I help you?

Hello, could you transfer me to Mr. Jefferson?

Sure can, he just got out of a meeting, one moment. A brief clicking sound and then a few moments later a voice answers.

Hello, this is Mr. Jefferson, what can I do for you? Wow, you sound bored out of your mind.

Hey Mr. Jefferson, its me.

Ah my boy, what can I help you with? He says, his voice instantly getting more excited.

Hey, I may have pissed off your daughter

Let me guess, you flirted with a girl and she got mad?

Howd you know!?

You really are an idiot. So let me guess, youre calling me because you want to get her a gift, but you cant figure out what? your jaw drops.

Mr. Jefferson, are you like in the mall watching us or something!?

No no, I just thought ahead for you. I thought you would do something stupid like this, but am I correct?

Right on the money sir.

Dont call me sir, actually, just call me Jay when we arent around any other students or faculty.

Alright Mr.- I mean Jay. Do you have any ideas on what to get her?

I know exactly what you can get her. She wanted to get one, but I wouldnt let her because she wasnt responsible. I assume you are at the giant mall with the amazing bottom floor?

Yep, right on the money again.

Alright, so you are going to go down to the bottom floor, and head down the north hallway

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will you relax? you say to the tiny golden retriever puppy you were holding in a cardboard box. It had been squirming and licking you nonstop ever since you adopted it. You actually had to call Mr. Walls to come down and meet you at the small shelter at the end of the north hallway, because you were too young to adopt a dog. The dog was in Mr. Walls name, but he said as long as you gave it to Rainbow, it was hers.

When you originally called him to ask for his help, he had actually been walking out to the car with Rainbow, and she had to answer the phone for him, since he was carrying all of her bags. Once he got her all situated in the limo, he came over and gladly adopted the little runt.

It was the smallest one of the litter, and it was just barely eight weeks old. It is probably one of the cutest dogs you have ever seen, it is a deep golden yellow, and its ears were the darkest golden on all of its body. Its fur was extremely soft, but almost all puppys fur was soft. It was probably going to get pretty big, but if you trained it properly it would be fine. You knew for a fact Rainbow probably wasnt going to train it, so since you were her roommate, you were going to have too.

You had talked about it with Mr. Jefferson; he said as long as it stayed in our room it was fine. Other students on campus had animals too, now that you thought about it, but most of them were just like Chihuahuas or small cats. Also, whenever we took the little guy out, he had to be on a leash, plus we would have to be taken responsible for any accidents he has while inside. He said he would supply all the food, toys, and training equipment, but one of you would have to train the little guy. Of course you had to pay for the little devil, and it made a dent in your wallet.

He sure is a cute little guy. Mister Walls says reaching over with the hand that wasnt preoccupied with holding an umbrella, and petted the dog, who wagged his tail and licked his hand happily. You chuckled and scratched behind the little guys ear.

You think this will make her happy? you ask, approaching the limo.

I know this little guy made me happy. He said scratching it again. You know, I thought about it and you arent really a jerk, youre just really terrible with reading girls, thats all.

Could you please inform me? Im still confused on that

Nope, you will have to figure it out on your own. You sigh and he opens the limos door for you.

FINALLY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IVE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR LIKE- Is that a puppy in a box?! Haha wow, nice change of attitude.

Sure is.

Wow! she said picking the golden retriever out of the box.

Whenever I ask my dad if I can adopt one he tells me Im not responsible enough. She says hugging the puppy and burying her face in its fur.

Well about that you say scratching the back of your neck, Hes yours. I talked with your father and worked everything out. As long as Im your roommate he said it was okay. He triple checked on the residents of building C, none of them have allergys to dogs. You say looking at the floor the whole time.

And with that you were tackled into a giant hug, back pinned against the floor, Rainbow hugging you to death, and a puppy on the floor licking your face.

You got me a puppy?! Saturday: Rainbow:3 Me:5

Sure did. Im taking that means youre happy with my decision? you say in a teasing voice. No response, she just tightened her hug on you.

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou-you put your hand on her mouth, for the second time today and say;

So what are you going to name him?

Well, when you wereTalking to that girl with the blue hair, I heard someone on the loudspeaker say something about a boy named Ceviche

You want to name the puppy Ceviche you say busting out laughing, which only ended up hurting because she was still squeezing you pretty hard.

Heck yea I wanna name him Ceviche! she said letting go, her turn to rub her neck, and Im sorry about earlier I guess I did get a little jealous What.

A little? you say, grabbing the puppy from off the floor and putting it in her face, and he started licking her instantly.

Alright alright, I was pretty jealous, happy? Not quite.

And why were you jealous of me talking to that girl? you say while getting up off of the floor and sitting next to her, gently nudging her side making her blush.

No reason. Lie.

You know, you got to ask the last question, and I answered truthfully. Now its your turn.

She gets up and taps on the divider and after it opens says;

Hey, Mister Walls lets get going please. Turn it to auxiliary and then she plugged in her phone and played music to drown your question out. Of course.

You decide to take some time to think about why everyone was calling you an idiot. It boiled down to you supposedly flirting with every girl you met so far, besides Rainbow, and that classified you as an idiot. Makes perfect senseMy ass.

You glance down and see Ceviche wobble around the small area of the limo he could walk around in, and he looked pretty entranced by the music, running into parts of one of the seats repeatedly before realizing what he was doing. Maybe instead of Ceviche we should name him Wobbles

You turn down the speaker and sit down on the floor, with your hands locked together in front of your legs, with Ceviche, who became immediately aware after you turned down the music. He ran at you full speed, which was probably only about 3 miles per hour, and hit you in a place you shouldn't be hit.

OH MOTHER OF BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!

Oh sweet Ceviche, were going to get along great! she said patting your head and picking up Ceviche. Note to self dont turn off Ceviches music you think as you moan, sprawled out on the ground.

You heard Mister Walls start laughing at you, so apparently the divider was still down.

Come on Mister Walls, you have to admit this little guy was like made for me.

He sure is.

Saturday: Rainbow: 3 Me: 5 Ceviche: 9000
