Episode 27: MISSION ABORT!
Feelings...these are what makes girls lose their heads 50% of the time...
I'm so pathetic...
Why have I gone this far?
JINKO: Pst, hey. You okay, now?
JANE: Yeah.
JINKO: Ready to cause trouble?
JANE: Yeah.
JINKO: Hey, you okay? What I said about earlier I didn't mean it.
JANE: *cries* Yeah.
JINKO: *gulps* You sensitive prick. C'mere.
JANE: *comes closer*
JINKO: *hugs* I'll miss you lots if you'll leave me.
JANE: Yeah, thanks bro.
JINKO: No worries. So, I just finished my plans...and here is what we're about to do.
JANE: Hey, do you like me too?
JINKO: What are you saying? Were bros. We're better this way. Am I right?
JANE: Mmm, I guess so...
JINKO: Hey, keep it together. Am I that attractive that you can't focus?
JANE: Yeah. Heheh...
JINKO: *looks at her sadly* Cheer up. Even if I don't want to kiss you and stuff, you're still the most precious woman of my life.
JANE: Really??
JINKO: Not really.
JANE: *pouts* *playfully punches his shoulder*
JINKO: Heheh, just kidding.
JANE: You're so rude, you know!
...
Gabby just came home, exhausted and half awake. Animating had taken a huge toll on her. It was her dream, but it starts to become her nightmare.
RED: Thank the heavens I don't need sleep. You look awful.
GABBY: Wow, and you're awfully honest.
RED: At least you know I won't lie to you, right?
GABBY: Yeah...
RED: Oh, and um...beats me, but you haven't told me anything about your background yet.
GABBY: About my family?
RED: Yeah. You only told me a few things.
GABBY: Why would you wanna know?
RED: *blushes* *looks away* Um...just because?
GABBY: Mmm. *smiles* Well, my mom is with my dad. My beautiful mom is Carolina, my dad is Roger William, and...we talk sometimes. But lately they've been busy with...work. And I have two brothers, Noel Wayne and Kevin, One is still studying college. The other has a stable family already, with his wife Emilia and their twins---Michael and Mirage.
RED: Oh, and then? Your grandparents? *kinda surprised of the pace she have*
GABBY: My grandparents on my mother's side is Delia and Felipe. On my father's side is Lumiere and Rosaline. I'm close with my grandma Delia. But...she died last year...and...if I could...I really want to see her. Mmm... *sniffs*
RED: I'm sure she's proud of you. *awkward as hell since he don't know how comforting works*
GABBY: Thank you...
RED: Um...what she's like?
GABBY: Her hair was a beautiful red, kinda like mine! Her eyes were lime green. And her smile was very beautiful!
RED: So, she looks like you?
GABBY: Many says that...*smiles* I wish I can ask about yours but...I know yours...is kinda dark.
RED: Yeah...
GABBY: I asked Humility one time and he narrated the whole thing and it was sad especially when those cruel people tor-
RED: Learn how to breathe, okay?
GABBY: Oh...sorry. I'm not annoying am, I?
RED: I'd be lying if I said no. But it's okay. Humans are born annoying after all.
GABBY: You speak like that as if you weren't a human before...
RED: They didn't treat me like one, anyways.
GABBY: Still, you look pretty okay for someone who suffered a lot.
RED: *turns scarlet* Oh y-yeah? Thanks. Anyways...uh...
GABBY: Oh gosh, you're blushing!
RED: No, I'm not!
GABBY: Oh you're so cute!
RED: No, just...mmm...fine, you win!
GABBY: You look so adorable! Can I get a picture of you like that? Pretty please???
RED: Hn. Fine. Do what you want. Just make it quick.
GABBY: Yes! Thanks you!!! *gets phone*
RED: What are you going to do with it, anyways?
GABBY: Gonna need it as a reference.
RED: Hmmm. Okay.
GABBY: *captures photo* *snap!* Done!
Red felt so embarrassed that he even agreed to do it so he asked her something unrelated instead. He don't know how to drive a conversation he started any further anyways.
RED: Mmm...you hungry?
GABBY: Starving, actually.
Right. She's hungry. Just the right question.
RED: Okay. Just rest right there. I'll cook you something.
GABBY: There are bacons on the fridge!
RED: For goodness sake it's 9 pm, you don't need that!
GABBY: Please?
RED: Hmph. Fine. But I'm cooking something else, okay?
GABBY: Okay!
*after cooking time*
GABBY: Bacon, steak and chicken soup! Rice and mashed potato! Wow!!! Thank you!
RED: Here's your milkshake and water too.
GABBY: Thank you so much! You'd make a good husband, I'm sure!
RED: Yeah? Well ain't gonna happen.
GABBY: Oh, yeah...you're a reaper. But how come you know better than I am?
RED: I have all the time in the world to learn...just eat up for now... Oh, and anything you'd like for breakfast?
GABBY: You-
RED: *flustered* Come again?
GABBY: I mean, you're the boss. After all, I almost eat everything as long as it's edible. Let me finish first, 'kay? Pff, I see what chu meant there.
RED: Oh... *fake coughs* Okay...sure... Um, leave your dishes on the sink after and I'll take care of it. You get the sleep you need.
GABBY: Thank you! You're the best! I wish my real boyfriend, if I ever would have one, is just like you!
RED: You're too sweet, it's making me throw up. How I do hope he would be. After all, you really need a guy like that.
She ignored his banters and only gave him a teasing smile.
Red contently watches as Gabby childishly chomp all the food he had served.
"She looks so adorable...and less annoying..."
"...okay maybe still annoying,"
...
Jane and Jinko were transformed into doves, perched on a nearby tree.
JANE: Those two weirdos are awfully and obviously in love. Damn, it sucks to watch them.
JINKO: Heheh, you're just jealous. Let's wait for the time he collects his due.
JANE: I'm having doubts already.
JINKO: Hmmm...well that's why you just have to do the opposite of what we usually do. Prevent deaths. Have more confidence in my plans, Jane. It'd work this time.
JANE: Okay genius. Oh, I can't wait to tear them apart!
JINKO: Easy now, they might hear you, you know?
JANE: Oops, sorry.
JINKO: Frick! We need to go! There's a cat in this tree. We need to go! Quickly! Damn! It almost got my tail!!! Hurry Jane! Fly away quickly! This cat looks hungry!
JANE: Damn! Our mission kept getting disturbed by petty reasons! Curse you cat! *flies away together with Jinko*
