My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story]

Entry 60. June 17, 2009.

[x] See if you can't learn anything extra from Clinton.

"Are you suspecting Clinton is more involved than he's admitted? I don't really see how he fits into the story other than working at NewFuture. He's just friends with Patrick. Maybe we'll gain something by asking him about recent things we've learned."

Felix tells Melanie he wants to ask Clinton more questions before it gets too late. She instantly defends her father and ensures Felix he has nothing to do with this. "Melanie, I know, I know! I just think maybe we can get another piece of the puzzle from him. It can't hurt to try, right?" Felix calms her. Melanie agrees with a slightly wary look on her face. They drive to the Swinson residence together and find Clinton sitting on the living room couch reading the newspaper. After taking a seat across from him, Felix begins his second attempt at seeing what Clinton might know.

"Welcome back you two. I hope your day wasn't crazy again?"
"It was alright. I learned to not trust little girls ever again."

Melanie bursts out laughing but quickly catches herself.

"Well that doesn't sound good. Did a little girl take YOUR lollipop?"
"Funny... Actually a little girl lured me into the woods just so more crazy NewFuture employees could talk to me."

Clinton sets down his newspaper, now fully interested in the conversation.

"Say what? Who?"
"James and Garet. More of Patrick's friends it seems."
"Yeah, they are."
"How well do you know them?"
"Pretty well. They work on the line with me."
"So I can trust them?"
"I told you before Felix. I'm not involved in all this like those guys. They wanted me to be, but I refused over and over. Pat needed help, so I went along with it. I think they're all good people, but I have no idea how trustworthy any of them are after all of this."
"Do you think there's any truth to them?"
"Probably, but I'd be careful. I've heard the FBI is worried there's much more to Patrick than a simple plot to kill Lizor. Or whatever it is they were planning... It's all so crazy to me."
"Two agents asked me if Patrick had confided anything urgent to me."
"Yes, that is interesting, but I assure you Felix... I really do not know anything. It was a mistake to ever help him that day. If I had known the danger I never would have done it."

After a few more attempts, Felix decides to accept that Clinton doesn't know anything that can help him. He tells Melanie he'll call her in the morning to make plans, and then heads back home by himself. Even though it's still early in the evening, Felix gets in his bed and tries to get to sleep. His mind is a deluge of thoughts. Everything seems so suspicious to him, and he doesn't know who he can believe and trust. After a few hectic hours of being trapped with his thoughts, Felix falls asleep, hesitant of tomorrow...

June 18, 2009.

Felix's alarm slices through the quiet, dark peace of his room - a telltale sign of the stressful day awaiting him. "Today's the day I guess..." Felix mutters as he slaps his alarm clock. The only thing Felix can think about is his 11 AM meeting with Rose in Trissany. He goes back and forth between wanting to go and backing out. After a quick breakfast and shower, Felix looks at the clock and sees that it's 9 AM. No more time to waste.

[] Get Melanie and head to Trissany as planned.
[] Head to Trissany alone.
[] Call Melanie and tell her you can't do it.

What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

 Spoiler

HEY GUYS. Yeah, yeah. I got caught up in the new Maplestory patch. I don't know how to do things in moderation. ;-; I'll be back to daily updates, always at least one per day. I'll try the 2-3 per day thing again. A break right before the big event isn't such a bad thing is it? Hehe. We all needed to cool our minds before June 18, because trust me... It's not going to be a pretty day.

Enjoy. THE ADVENTURE RESUMES.

So obvious what you're gonna pick, but it's not too late to back out. Remember that.

[] Call Melanie and tell her you can't do it.

I'm a platypus I know.

[x] Get Melanie and head to Trissany as planned.

Go meet your mommy and bring your woman. It's better you both go so you two can stay close together.

 KEIKAKU DOORI!

I can't take it easy. ;_;

No you can't. My whip awaits.

Head to Trissany alone.

Welcome back.

[] Get Melanie and head to Trissany as planned.

Don't leave her alone again, even if both of you might be killed. And you're not going to get out of this mess just trying to run away from it.

Should've made a char named ChadLegard: "I'm going to get you, my son!"

No you can't. My whip awaits.

I had to use my red whip to get LS.

[x] Get Melanie and head to Trissany as planned.

Entry 61. June 18, 2009.

[x] Get Melanie and head to Trissany as planned.

"I hope you know how dangerous this could end up being... No risk, no reward, though, right? I don't know if I'll be able to face my mom after all these years."

Realizing it may be now or never, Felix grits his teeth, calls Melanie and tells her he'll be over in a second to pick her up. Melanie comes out, all ready to go and says, "We have to do this, Felix. It'll be alright. If she causes trouble, we'll just leave okay?" Felix nods, though he isn't so sure they'll just be able to leave.

Unbeknownst to Felix and Melanie, ahead of them on the road to Trissany is Nicholas Lezoa, his mind set on his horrifying and elaborate plan.

"This long drive really gets old, doesn't it?" Melanie says in an attempt to lighten the mood. "Especially when it's the only thing standing between me and my mother," he answers, all too seriously. Melanie doesn't know what to do, so she just stares out the window. Over halfway there, Melanie decides they should take this time to work out a game plan. "We should go about this carefully," she says. "Carefully? We're sitting ducks no matter what we try, Mel. She didn't even say where to meet besides the mall. It's just what she wants. She knows we need to talk to her. She's completely in control," Felix snaps. "Don't get angry. You can't go into this and just start screaming at her," she responds. "I know, and it's frustrating. I don't know how I'm supposed to meet with her after how she abandoned me."

At a quarter to 11 AM, Felix parks outside the Trissany City Mall. They go inside and start walking around, unsure what to expect. "This is absolutely stupid. How does she expect to meet in such a big place? Are we supposed to wait somewhere? What?" Felix questions angrily. After 10 minutes pass in frustration, Melanie notices a familiar face approaching them. "Felix, look. It's that Oscar guy." Oscar comes up to Felix and Melanie and says, "How to nice to see you again! Rose wasn't sure you'd come. Follow me."

Outside the building where the FBI is stationed in Trissany, Nicholas parks his car and walks towards the front door with a frightening smile plastered on his face.

Felix and Melanie follow Oscar through the crowds of people in the mall. "Where is my mother?" Felix asks. "Patience, patience," Oscar replies. "Why is she using you as a middleman again? Melanie questions. "This is more Rose's style," he laughs. Then they see her. Sitting at a small table in the food court is Rose, waving them over. Felix's body locks up as he sees his mother once again. Oscar smiles at Rose and walks away, leaving Felix and Melanie alone with her. "Come, come! Sit! My boy! You've grown up marvelously!" Rose says, cheerfully. Felix almost explodes right then and there but stops himself to avoid a public scene. They take a seat across from Rose at the small table. "Anything to drink you two? Coffee, perhaps? I know you two love coffee!" Rose smiles. "Cut the crap right now. I don't have anything to say to you. Why did you call me here?" Felix asks, bitter hate in every word.

"Aww why are you so cold, Felix? You have to know I left because of Chad, not my precious boy."
"Bullsh'it. You never contacted me once. Don't you even dare say you loved me."
"Haha. Yes, yes I suppose. I'm a terrible person."

Melanie grips Felix's shoulder to keep him from losing his cool.

"She really is a sweet girl, Felix. You should remember my words, though."
"I couldn't care less about your pathetic words. Unlike you, I know the importance of trusting in someone."
"Everyone's after something. You'd do well to remember that."
"I didn't come here so you could preach to me. What is this about?"
"So boring... It's all business with you, isn't it? Can't even catch up with your mom?"
"Melanie, come on. We're leaving. This was a bad idea."

Rose suddenly bursts out laughing, causing many people to look at her.

"You aren't going anywhere, my boy. You're playing by my rules now."
"Are you threatening us?"
"Threatening? Don't make me laugh! I'm merely informing you."

Felix and Melanie stand up and turn around to leave.

"You're curious about the rest of his diary, aren't you? You're wondering what the entries I sent you mean, aren't you? I can tell you're curious. Now sit and I may just let you know."
"Start talking."
"Good boy. Perhaps you should have your little girlfriend go shopping while we talk. Don't want her getting in too deep, do you?"
"I'm staying. Felix and I are a team now."
"Haha. Yes, yes I suppose. I wonder if Felix wants you learning his secret though?"

Felix's eyes go blank and his palms begin to sweat.

"I knew it! Oh God you're wonderful, Felix! Haha! You're a team and still you're keeping something so important from her! I love it!"
"Felix, what is she talking about?"
"Melanie don't listen to her... She's crazy. We have to go."
"You know, my boy, Chad confided his secret in me while we were still dating. I guess I am a trustworthy woman! Haha! First Chad and then you. I'm so honored to be the confidant of the Legards."
"What the hell did you just say?"
"So foolish. You really thought you were unique? Oh no. Your daddy has always been cursed with the same problem as you."
"Will someone PLEASE tell me what is going on? What is she talking about Felix?"
"Melanie, wait. I can explain."
"But you won't! Haha! You poor thing. If he trusted you, he would have let you know by now. Your boyfriend is quite special."
"STOP! Melanie, let's go."

Felix stands up and tries dragging Melanie with him, but she's suddenly very curious about what Rose has to say.

"I bet you've noticed odd mood swings in Felix, right?"
"Yeah actually... We went from being best friends, to never talking and then suddenly back to being closer than ever."
"Stop! You can't listen to her. She's playing some mind game with us."
"Felix, can you shut up... If this was nothing you wouldn't be acting like a lunatic."
"Oh, clever! I like you. Felix here, like his father, has a unique mind. In fact, it's hard to say he has a mind of his own! Haha! He's ruled by other minds. Voices inside his head force him to do things, sometimes against his own will."

Felix lets go of Melanie and stares into nothing with a dejected look on his face.

"Wha...what? That can't be true."
"Oh but it is. You have to wonder what decisions Felix truly made for himself, don't you?"
"Melanie it isn't true... I make my own decisions..."
"Why wouldn't you tell me about this? How can this even be true? What the hell, Felix?"
"Please understand... I'm still me. I still think for myself. It's just sometimes..."
"OH GOD? It's TRUE? Dammit Felix, what is going on? Why would you keep something like this from me?"
"I was going to tell you... We just got back together... It's hard to explain something like this."
"Did YOU even want to get back together? The hell? What the hell..."

Melanie becomes overwhelmed and insanely confused and angry and hurt. Her emotions consume her and she runs off, unable to take it. Rose watches the drama she created and enjoys it with a gleeful smile. Felix's mind is racing with a million new thoughts. He's reunited with his mother. He learns his father has the same curse as him. His girlfriend found out about his secret in the worst way possible. So much confusion. People all around them stare in wonder at the scene that just unfolded. Everything is falling apart around him...

[] Run after Melanie.
[] Stay with Rose.
[] Run away by yourself.

What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

 Spoiler

FINALLY ALL MY PIECES ARE SET. NOW LET US TRULY BEGIN OUR GAME.

HAHAHAHA

Your move, voices.

[x] Run after Melanie.

Punch Rose in the face before you go. She's a peach.

BAWWWW

How could you do that to your own son Rose?



[x] Stay with Rose.

Because you need to find out more about the GOD DAMN diary. Give Mel some time alone for now.

Stay with Rose.

 Spoiler

Hey, can we have Rose as the main character of the story now? She is by far much more interesting than Felix or Melanie could ever hope to be.

 Spoiler

I'm hoping that by staying with Rose Melanie will get killed in the middle of whatever Nick is planning. Which would cause Felix to have a mental breakdown most likely and this story will finally be interesting for once.

[x] Run after Melanie.

Damn. We need to talk to Melanie. RapeBoss is out there and she's not thinking straight.

This is gonna take some explaining. But we should just tell her the truth: We help him make decisions, but he's always liked her even without us. We just gave him the push he needed. Also, we had nothing to do with his little freakout a few years ago.

Stay with Rose.

You'll be seeing much more of Rose, don't worry. I've been waiting for a long time to reveal her, though this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I do hope you guys weren't too distracted to notice what else was going on in this entry. I have every piece set now for everything I have planned.

If I am right shit is about to go down and someone is going to get killed, hopefully Melanie.
