Chapter 8: The Ball Without The Bounce 1/2...
Tanner...
"[Sigh] Why do you keep doing this, Mom?" Tanner said as he looked at the unconscious body of his 'mom'. She was passed out on the couch like she was knocked unconscious.
"You need help." he said, dragging her body to her room, not even waking her up as he threw her on the bed so she can sleep comfortably.
"And now, time for the sleep." Tanner said, going into his own room as he locked everything. He took off his clothes, and jumped into bed, grabbing the sheets so they covered his legs only...
It's like 80-something degrees outside. Do you really think someone would be that COLD?!...
Peter...
"[Sniffle]" Went Peter as he cried about what happened earlier. Mileena was getting ready for bed when she heard the sniffle.
When she walked in, she saw a red, puffy-eyed Peter laying down in his bed with his head towards the ceiling in thought.
"Peter, what's wrong?" Mileena asked her son, sitting on the bed's edge.
"Tanner..." Peter's reply was, making Mileena's Shadow pop out.
_ 'Where is he?! I'll murder his ass! _' the Shadow of Mileena said before the real Mileena regained control with a shake of her head.
"Sorry about that...Why? What did he do?" she asked, worried that Tanner did what all the others done.
"Tanner...asked me a question...and didn't tell me what it was... I don't know what it is..." Peter explained, letting out more tears.
"Why didn't he tell you?" she said, turning Peter's head to her own.
"He just said that I have to figure it out on my own..." Peter told her, making her think that Tanner wasn't that boy she saw during his visit.
"Don't worry Pete; tomorrow, bring him here so we can have a chat with him." she said, only for her Shadow to take over and say,
_ 'And then if he won't talk, we'll choke him to death with my boobies!' _ Mileena's Shadow exclaimed before leaving Mileena in control of herself.
"Sorry about that." Mileena said, getting up from the bed and leaving Peter to his own devices. All he did was cry himself to sleep...
Shadow Mindscape...
'So, did you hear? Tanner hurt Peter's feelings...I wanna kill him!' Mileena's Shadow said crazily to her Shadow Brethren.
_ 'Calm down...It's just a misunderstanding...' _ Peter's Shadow tried to reason with the crazy across from him but Leonard's Shadow cut in.
_ 'He hurt Peter?! I'll get him for that...' _ Leonard's Shadow exclaimed, giving Peter's a headache.
'_ Alright look...Ani-Tanile, calm down...You are NOT killing my host's mate!...Understand?!' _ Peter's Shadow yelled, making Ani-Tanile, who was Mileena's Shadow, cower in fear.
_ 'And you, Draco...My host's mate shall not have any interventions from you...Got it?!' _ Draco, who was Leonard's Shadow, backed away, nearly in tears from his tone.
_ 'But Py-Shan...' _ Ani-Tanile started, but the Shadow that belonged to our favorite Lugia cut her off.
_ 'Don't 'But Py-Shan' me!...You two need to be a little more open-minded than you let on...If you want to be free... _' Py-Shan, who was Peter's Shadow told them with a mischievous grin. The others looked up.
_ 'To be free?...What are you going on about, Py-Shan?' _ Ani-Tanile asked the dominator Shadow.
_ 'If you want to be free from your bindings...Think more...' _ the lead Shadow said, leaving the mindscape to the others.
_ 'Think more?...The hell is that supposed to mean...?' _ Draco said, shaking his head as he left as well. Ani-Tanile was the only one before she too left, thinking deeply...
As they had this argument, Peter and Leonard had raging boners to quell and Mileena was fingering her suddenly needy slit...
The Next Day...
"[Yawn]" Went Tanner as he was awakened by his alarm clock. When he got up, he stretched to see a note on his window, looking like the words were cut out of a magazine. When he grabbed the note to read, he said out loud:
"To Tan-ner: If you real-ly are that trus-t-ing to Peter, bet-ter come to house or get messed... Either someone ran outta words or someone can't spell worth shit." Tanner commented. He put on his clothes for the day, as there was no school today for some reason.
Tanner walked outta his room into the hallway, walking past his 'mother's' room, hearing moaning as usual.
"I swear I think she gives these guys her keys..." Tanner commented.
He walked straight into the kitchen, grabbing a snack for his trip, before walking out the front door. Outside was like his last walk; tantalizingly peaceful and happy.
"[Sigh]" Went Tanner as he came across the crossroads that, in a way, separated him and Peter. Note still fresh in his mind and fresh outta his pocket, Tanner went to Peter's house to ask about it, walking past a Darkrai morph with red headphones on...
Peter...
"I hope he got the note..." Peter said, looking out his window.
It looked peaceful out in the forest area near the house, but inside Peter was distraught. He couldn't try to get his mind on something else; Tanner's unintelligible question forever ringing in his head.
"What did he say?..." Peter contemplated as he walked out his room to go watch TV. As he walked down the hallway, he shed a tear before hastily wiping it away.
'No more tears... He didn't say 'I don't like you'...' he thought as he came into the living room, only to see Mileena and John already there. They immediately looked up at Peter as he came towards them.
"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Peter asked as their gazes had lowered eyelids.
"No Peter, we're here about your bae." John said.
"What about Tanner?" Peter replied, sitting in a chair away from them.
"He hurt your feelings. There's no forgiveness for that..." Mileena said, looking at Peter with a critical eye.
"But it wasn't that seri-." he started, but John cut him off.
"It's okay Peter; let the adults handle it..." John trailed off, whispering in Mileena's ear, thus ending the conversation. Peter huffed and looked at the TV, where a commercial about headphones suddenly became interesting.
The doorbell, that was presumed malfunctioning, rang its garbled chime. The residents looked confused at this, John going to answer the door. When he opened it, he glared when he saw Tanner at the door.
"Hey John, what's up?" Tanner asked, curious as to why he was receiving glares-he could practically feel Mileena's from the window.
"Hello Tanner." John said, a little venom in his voice.
"Can I come in?" Tanner asked, John nearly slamming the door in response. But Peter had came to the door when he heard Tanner's voice.
"Hey Tanner. Come in." Peter said in a dead tone, making Tanner raise an eyebrow as he walked past John. The butler only snorted his coke and walked to his quarters.
Not really, he just left.
"Hello Tanner..." Mileena said in a serious tone.
"Hey Mileena." Tanner said, sitting down with them as he and Peter came in the living room at Peter's insistence.
"Why are you here?" she sternly asked, making Tanner look at her in appallment.
"Okay, why are you so tense? I didn't do anything wrong." Tanner responded.
"You know what you did..." Mileena said vaguely, not really explaining.
"I don't know what I did." Tanner replied, a little irritated with her tone.
"Yes, you do!" Mileena said loudly, slamming her hands on the coffee table while glaring daggers at Tanner.
"No, I don't!" Tanner countered.
"YES, YOU DO!" Mileena yelled at Tanner, spittle nearly landing on his face.
"Fine, I know what I did! Can you tell me what I did?" Tanner asked in an agitated tone.
"No! Why would you ask me what you did if you already know?!" Mileena said, appalled at Tanner.
"Because I don't know!" Tanner cried.
"ENOUGH!" Peter yelled, catching Mileena and Tanner off-guard.
"Now...Tanner, you asked me a question and you won't tell me what it was because you were being selfish...This is what you did..." Peter said in a deadly voice.
"Okay...I thought it wouldn't be that serious..." Tanner said, slightly backing away from Peter.
"It's _ very _ serious..." Peter said, Py-Shan's voice tying with his own to better emphasize his point.
"Maybe I should go..." Tanner said, having enough of the hostility towards and edging towards the door.
But what he was not expecting was for Peter to hurriedly block the door.
"You're not leaving here until you tell me what you said." Peter said, eyes glowing red.
"And if I don't?..." Tanner dared as Peter leaned into his face.
_ 'I don't think you'll see the light of day if you don't...' _ Peter said in Py-Shan's voice. At that time, Leonard decided to make an appearance.
"Tanner, what are you doing here?" he asked, curious as to why the human came back so quickly.
"I had got this note saying to come here." Tanner hurriedly explained, Peter's voice scaring him some. He pulled out the note, making Leonard look at it funny.
"Why does it look like that?" he asked, wondering why there were no written words.
"Wait a minute..." Mileena started, looking for her magazines. There was an awkward silence until she returned, fuming with her magazines opened to certain, cut-off pages...
"Who the hell's been in my magazines?!" she said, showing them the pages where words and letters were cut out precisely.
"Uh..." Peter looked guilty as he twiddled his fingers while looking away from everyone.
"Peter, you did this?..." Leonard asked, shocked that his son had done something like this.
"Yes...I couldn't write with my hands so I...'borrowed' some writing...?" Peter said, cowering in Mileena's glare and Leonard's gaze.
"You coulda just asked, Peter! Now how am I supposed to read the recipes on the back?!" Mileena yelled, not noticing her son's eyes...
"[Sniffle]" the noise had startled everyone, wondering where it came from until they all looked at Peter, whose eyes were watering.
"Peter?" Tanner asked, grabbing the Lugia morph's arm, before it was swatted away as said morph ran upstairs.
"[Groan] See? Too sensitive." Tanner said to Mileena as the sound of a door slamming shut was heard.
"So it's my fault?" Mileena rebuttaled.
"Yes." Tanner simply said, making Leonard get up.
"Now you listen here. My wife didn't do anything wrong! You started this and he overreacted!" Leonard yelled.
"I didn't start this! She shoulda just calmed down! And you know how sensitive he is!" Tanner shot back, Leonard seething.
"Look here...Say one more thing outta turn...You won't be here to look at him be sensitive..." Leonard threatened.
"So, you'll kick me out if I yell at you again?" Tanner said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes. Pure and fucking simple." Leonard replied. Tanner nodded in understanding.
"I see... Fine.." Tanner said, opening the door behind him.
"What are you doing?" Mileena asked, wondering what she missed in a span of two seconds.
"Oh just...gonna say that I ASKED PETER TO GO TO THE BALL WITH ME!" Tanner exclaimed, slamming the door on his way out.
"And good riddance." John commented.
"What did he say?" Mileena said, not really understanding what he said before abruptively leaving.
"I don't know and I don't care. All I know is he's not come again." Leonard said, sticking by his word, even though it was a good response.
Meanwhile Peter had heard each word as he had listened in on them to see if they were gonna keep talking about him behind his back. When he heard Tanner's outburst, his heart jolted.
"Did he say what I think he said?" Peter asked himself, before being dragged into his mindscape for a second, seeing his Shadow in front of him with a knowing scowl.
_ 'Yes...He did...' _ Py-Shan said, making Peter squeal in joy.
"YES!" Peter cried, being kicked out of his mindscape as he did so. But before that...
_ 'But how will you give him your answer if he can't come here and school won't opened until the day the ball starts? _' Py-Shan told him, making Peter deflate.
"Well...I'll just try my best to get to him!" Peter said, before...
"LUNCH TIME!" Mileena called from downstairs.
"I'll think on it later. She made samiches!" Peter said, running downstairs, making Py-Shan shake his head.
_ 'That boy will be the death of me...' _ the Shadow Lugia shook his head before retreating into the dark recesses of Peter's subconscious...
Tanner...
"Stupid Leonard..." Tanner said, mumbling to himself as he sat on the park bench.
"[Sigh] I need a friend right now..." Tanner said, leaning back on the bench with his eyes closed.
"Why didn't you just ask?" said a voice, making Tanner's eyes snap open. He looked around, only to lock eyes with Natalie.
"Oh hey Nat." Tanner greeted as she sat down next to him.
"Hey Tan." she replied, taking a load off with her shoes.
"So, how goes the job?" Tanner asked.
"It's good. Nothing bad so far. You?" Natalie said, making Tanner sigh.
"Just getting kicked out of a house. Nothing special." Tanner responded.
"Oh? Where and why?" she questioned.
"Peter's and Leonard." Tanner simply said to the Shaymin morph.
"Why?" she asked.
"I'm not telling." Tanner said with an edge, making Nat shut her mouth.
"Okay, just asking. No need to be snappy about it." Nat trailed off from there, watching the park area around them. After a couple hours of sitting there, Tanner said goodbye and left, leaving Natalie to deal with-
"HEY! NO PEEING ON THE TREES! THERE'S BATHROOMS IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE!" she yelled at the kids by the tree in the distance...
Later...
"Okay, why are you smiling?!" Leonard asked Peter asked they sat at the dinner table.
"I'm not telling~!" Peter sang, which had been his answer to the question all day prior to now.
"Just say why!" Leonard screamed, reaching across the table at Peter, but he got up and ran.
"You'll have to beat me for it~!" And with that, he was gone, hid bedroom door slamming and locking from the click Leonard heard.
"He'll crack. Just gotta get him when his guard's down..." Leonard said, making Mileena chuckle in amusement.
"Sure he will. What are you gonna do? Interrogate him on the toilet?" Mileena joked.
"If that's what it takes, yes!" Leonard said, getting stares from Mileena and John.
"What?" he said.
"Don't do that." John said, sipping his tea.
"Don't do-?" Leonard was gonna say before John cut him off.
"Don't." Leonard just sat back down and went to his food, grumbling about rude humans...
Cliffhanger's a right old bitch, isn't it?
So, that's part one of 'The Ball Without Bounce'!
