My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story]

Entry 18. June 8, 2009.

[x] Accept her offer and stay a while longer at Melanie's place.

"Sheesh... I get it. I know she's attractive. I know she's always been there for me. I know she's awesome and cares for me. I get the hint already. I'll stay with her."

Felix agrees and decides to stay at Melanie's for awhile. The night's still young. "Yeah, it has been quite a long time since we've hung out. These couple days have been fun, actually, even though crazy at the same time..." Felix says. "Yaay~ I hope this isn't some new elaborate game of yours, Felix. You've broke my heart enough times!" Melanie jests, while faking crying. "Haha no... I kind of miss the days when we were younger," Felix admits.

"I know right! You used to be so much fun! And you'd let me hug you and hold your hand and everything!"
"Eh...not exactly the times I was missing."
"Riiiiight. I know you want me!"
"Seriously, Mel. Don't make me change my mind."

Melanie puts on her best pouty face. The two of them exchange their banter and reminisce about their past growing up together. Felix always got along very well with Melanie and returned her flirting. It wasn't until his mom was no longer part of their family that Felix started to grow cold towards Melanie. After some silence, Melanie asks, "Felix, you know you can talk to me about your mom, right?" "I don't need to," Felix says a bit sharply. Melanie picks up the tone and drops the subject. "Sorry. It's just...it's not a big deal, you know?" Felix responds. "Yeah, I understand Felix. Sorry for bringing it up," Melanie apologizes. Changing the subject, Melanie decides to take advantage of Felix's recent attachment to her.

"This Saturday! The 13th! Wanna go to the lake together? The town's holding their annual water festival!"
"I haven't been to that in ages."
"Yeah! It will be fun! Cooome on!"
"Fine fine... I'll go with you Melanie."
"Yay! Hehehe--" Melanie stops, embarrassed by her gleeful overreaction.
"I don't know about you..." Felix says with a hint of regret on his voice.

Shortly after, Felix heads home. Back upstairs in his house, he notices his dad has already went to sleep. Felix cleans up a bit and crawls into the comfort of his bed. "What's up with Dad lately... I just can't figure him out... Maybe I should be more concerned about the whole thing, but all I can think about is Melanie. I bet she'll look great in a swimming suit this Saturday... Oh what the hell? I was so certain about my life before. It was peaceful and simple. What's happened to me..." Felix drifts off as his thoughts overwhelm him.

Interlude (June 9-12).

Several days pass without excitement. Felix finally manages to give Fuzzbuns the time she deserves. Fuzzbuns appreciates the thorough brushing and playing and decides to forgive Felix for neglecting her lately. Chad stops coming home early from work and doesn't talk to Felix much. Melanie spends way too much time shopping for a new swimming suit before Saturday. Felix and Melanie chat occasionally on messenger, but for the most part, Felix's life is completely back to how he remembers it. Well, that would be the case if not for the mystery around his father and his growing attraction to Melanie...

At Chad's workplace, his coworkers begin to notice an odd change in his behavior...

June 13, 2009.

Felix's alarm greets him as pleasantly as always, which causes him to fall off his bed. "...frickin'... I swear you're asking for it, Mr. Alarm," Felix threatens while rubbing his head. "Hey wait, it's Saturday. I have a date with Melanie. I guess I should get cleaned up and ready." He showers better than usual and eats a good breakfast. Fuzzbuns purrs for no reason other than being awesome. Chad left inexplicably on a week-long "business" trip early in the morning. Just as Felix is about to head over to Melanie's to pick her up, the phone rings. "Hello, Legard residence," Felix answers.

Moments pass. Only silence.

The caller hangs up without saying a word. "Oh hell... Psychos please me leave alone today," Felix says miserably, remembering his previously crazy days. The phone rings again.

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

"Screw it. I am not intentionally bringing madness into my life again. Whoever's calling can piss off. I'm not gonna keep Melanie waiting after she's been building up to this day."

The phone continues to ring the entire time Felix finishes getting ready. Remaining strong, he never once answers it again before leaving. Felix was so distracted by the constant ringing that he didn't realize he forgot his cell phone on the counter. On his way over to Melanie's, he steps down on his injured foot to test how it's doing. It's already gotten much better and doesn't hurt to run anymore. "No more careless mistakes like that day again!" Felix tells himself. He arrives at the Swinson residence and rings the doorbell.

Moments later, Melanie answers the door. Felix freezes as he stares at her. With her gorgeous, long brown hair, those killer green eyes, slender figure and great body, Melanie looks drop-dead beautiful in her black bikini with a loose, white shirt thrown on over. "Youuu like~ Haaa~" Melanie says with a wink. Felix regains his composure and manages to respond. "You look good," he says. Melanie rolls her eyes. "Yeah, okay, little boy," Melanie laughs. The two of them begin their one mile walk to the town's large natural lake just outside the city limits. Along the way, Melanie thinks of every possible way to torment Felix. She enjoys Felix spending time with her again way too much.

"You always told me I was pretty when we were young, remember?"
"No."
"Remember how you wanted to kiss meee..."
"No."
"Oh! Remember when our parents said we'd make the cutest couple?"
"No."
"Hehehehe~ Well I remember."
"I'm glad you maintain vivid memories of your dreams."
"Excuse me lover boy! I remember the promise you made me!"
"I already repaid the money I owe you. Long ago."
".....real funny. I'm talking about how you promised to always, always take care of me!"
"Lies. Promises made when I was 11 do not count."
"Whatever. You meant it, jerk."

Felix and Melanie begin walking past long rows of cars parked quite a ways away. The annual water festival is always a huge event for their town. It draws a massive crowd. Always. The blooming couple arrives at the entrance gate and Felix pays to get a wristband that lets them come and go freely all day and participate in all events. "What should we do first, Felix?" Melanie asks with her playful smile.

[] Find a seat to watch the boat show.
[] Walk around and check out the stands.
[] Head over to the swimming area.
[] Walk along the beach and talk some more.
[] Pretend to have to use the toilet and ditch Melanie.

Nice additional scene right here. Remembering your childhood is always a great way to pass time by.

[x] Walk along the beach and talk some more.

You're not here for carnival games and what not. You're here to get away from your crazy adventures, and of course, to spend time with Mel.

[x] Head over to the swimming area.

What else did you come here for? :f6:

 Spoiler

Alright, I'm out for the night. I hope I don't miss anything!

[X] Walk along the beach and talk some more.

Cool pomegranate always happens when you're doing nothing in particular.

[x] Walk around and check out the stands.

You can walk along the beach anytime. That's not what you go to a festival for... go check out what's going on! Maybe win a prize for little Mel while you're at it too.
