written by: Nix C.
Dedicated to: those two strangely similar girls I had the pleasure of
chatting with yesterday. One thing we have in common is we all have
Tita Lily's!!!!!! Ms. Mangkukulam, and Miss Watusi this is for you!
*authors note: ARCANE means forgotten*
Jonny stared at the happy couple. His heart felt like it was being
ripped to a million pieces as laughter rung in his ears. What
happened? Three years ago they were so in love, then he suddenly broke
up with her. He's tried to see other women but now one really held the
torch compared to her.
Jessie Bannon and Bryce Crenshaw happily walked hand in hand through
the park where the team had decided to spend a lazy summer afternoon.
It was a lovely summer day and it was perfect to go outdoors and
experience nature.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves except Jonny that is. He was
to busy realizing what an idiot he had been to give up such a prize
like Jessie Bannon. What more could he ask for?
"Hey bleach head, cat got your tongue?" Mishelle Jenks teased him as
she jogged up to the picnic mat to get a soda.
"Get lost Rover," Jonny growled as his eyes followed Jessie and Bryce
playing touch football with the others.
"Oh I see," Mishelle's voice got a little softer. "Well you can'tdo
anything about it now so just stop thinking about it and move on!" she
suggested quietly. "I know how you feel..."
Jonny burst out angrily," No you don't know how I feel! What would a
tomboy like you know??? Don't you think I know theres nothing I can
do??? Don't you think I feel like and idiot?!?"
Mishelle's expression was first surprised then turned cold. "You know
what, you have a real attitude problem with people trying to cheer you
up. I thought you got a little more mature Quest, but obviously I was
wrong." With that she stormed off.
Jonny's spirit sunk even lower as he was left alone to wallow in his
on self degredation.
Mishelle briskly waled through the dirt filled path. *What's his
problem anyways???* she thought angrily to herself. He had no right to
take whatever frustrations he had out on her. She knew what his
problem was and made her even angrier. She knew it was Jessie,
actually Jessie and Bryce. A few years back, Jonny and Jess were so
close everyone thought it was going to last forever but suddenly he
broke up with her. Jess was crushed for ages until Bryce helped her
move on. Their friendship developed into somwthing stronger and
Mishelle knew her friend was extremely happy.
Mishelle was happy for the both of them, but a part of her was sad for
Jonny. She disliked seeing him in such a depressed expression even
though they were mortal enemies. Lately he seemed to be in withdrawal,
always in a dazed mood, and it took all of them to drag him out of the
compound. She kinda missed the old bleach head, lopsided grin and all.
"Why am I thinking of him??" she asked herself frustratedly out loud.
"Oh Jonny Quest why are you so difficult?"
Mishelle stopped and took a deep breath as she remembered some rare
momments when they actually got along. He had saved her from
situations that she recalled being embarassed off but was secretly
glad.
Everytime she tried to be genuinely nice to him, he would just think
she was trying to trick him or make fun of him. *He is so impossible,*
she told herself as she began walking back.
"Hey, where is 'Shelle-chan?" Tai-Lee asked the group curiously as
they all took a break from touch football.
"I saw her dash off in the path," TRavis replied as he opened a bag of
Ruffles potato chips (tm). "She looked pretty steamed, wonder why..."
"We should find her quickly," Jessie said. "Looks like a a storm's
brewing." She gazed up at the sky and saw dark gray clouds forming
above.
Jonny sat there feeling guilty as the rest began packing up. "I'll go
and look for her. If I'm not back in ten minutes leave and I'll take
her back in my Acura," he told them as he stood up.
"You sure Quest-man?" Travis asked him worriedly.
"Yep Trav, you guys go on ahead and I'll find her," Jonny told them as
he began to jog towards the path.
"Oh be careful John-ee," Claudette called out as she nervously heard
the crack of thunder in the sky.
Jonny ran quickly down the dirty path calling out her name. He felt
horrible that something might happen to her because of him. He was so
stupid, she was trying to be nice and he just blew her off. It began
to drizzle and a pang of worry rose from the bottom of his stomache
as he desperately searched for her.
"Shit, I'm lost!" Mishelle cried out as she tried to find her way
back. *Jenks, why didn't you look here you were going???* she thought
angrily to herself.
Suddenly rain began pouring down from the sky soaking her. "Great just
great!!!!!!" she screamed in frustration. She felt cold in her wet
jeans and t-shirt but she struggled to make her way back somehow.
"Mishelle!!!!!" Jonny cried with all his might but was useless in
comparisson to the sound of the rain and thunder.
Jonny was drenched from head to toe and was freezing as he ran harder
to try and find Mishelle. IT was his fault this happened in the first
place, if he wasn't being such a major jerk.
His mind was racing trying to think where she could be. They drove
outside Palm Key to a new park to be able to see something different
so he had no clue where he was either, but that was the least of his
problems right now. What were you supposed to do in a storm? Was it to
go to a hill? A high elewated landform?? Jonny hoped Mishelle thought
of this as he dashed of to the park's Bucanner Hill, to which they all
saw in the park's map earlier.
Mishelle squinted and looked around her to see where she was. The rain
had gotten stronger and the wind blew the leaves wildly around her.
Off in a short distance a big lump elevated from the ground caught her
eye.
By instinct, she sped off in that direction, hoping help would be
there. She was so tired already and so cold. She would have given
anything to be next to the fire place right now.
"I have to...have to...get there..."she panted tiredly as she dragged
her legs to go further. Finally she collapsed and began weeping as the
rain poured down from above her.
Jonny raced to Bucanner's hill, fearing Mishelle may not be there and
yet anxious because maybe, just maybe she would be there. He ooked
around as an overwhelming sense of dread filled him. *Where was she??*
he screamed inside.
Suddenly he spotted a small figure all huddled in the corner of a big
decidous tree. He sprinted towards the figure and kept calling out the
name Mishelle.
She looked up and saw Jonny speeding to her and she was so relieved
and over joyed to see him that all the tiredness melted away as she
stood up and hugged him tightly.
"Thank God your okay," he told her quietly. "I'm sorry Shelle, its
just that you know how horrible I feel about giving Jess up..."
Mishelle's eyes flashed dangerously as she exploded,"Dammit! Stop
living in the past! Can't you see what's waiting for you right infront
of your face???Don't you think I get hurt everytime you moan and groan
about Jessie?? Of course I know how much it hurts to be forgotten!!!"
She finally got it off her chest, her heart was racing and she could
hardly breath porperly with the tension she was feeling.
Jonny stared at her in surprise as he realized after all this time why
she had been teasing him. She didn't hate him at all, infact she loved
him. He was so stupid not to realize this as he looked at her not
knowing what to say.
"Mishelle, I'm...I'm so sorry for everything," he told her softly as
she stared at him back. "I'm so stupid. You deserve better than me
Mishelle Taylor Jenks."
Mishelle's eyes her brimmed with fresh tears as she rushed and
embraced him tightly. He broke down weeping in her shoulders as she
held him tighter. "Shh, thats it, just let it all come out," she said
comfortingly.
For a long time they were in each others arms, finally they knew they
had found something special. Being forgotten was a terrible feeling
indeed, but they had each other now, and they had something that will
last for a lifetime.
