[🍂]--Tommyinnit.

"Why do you care, anyway?"

"I don't!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

There was a long silence.
"If you must know, I've been insulted," Tommy said.

"By who?"

"By all of you," Tommy cried. "I have an Impeccable reputation as a scoundrel. I have been banned from thousands of hamlets, hundreds of cities, dozens of countries, and three different dimensions. There are bounties on my  all of the planet and on a few planets you've never heard of. I'm Tommyinnit, the Trickster King. I'm the mean and nasty emperor of pranksters. My kingdom is the wrong side of the tracks!"

  "So?"

   Tommy snarled. "So? So?! So, I threw it all away to protect this family and not one of you appreciates it. I'm ruined and you have all turned your back on me for Uncle Punz. He'll save the family blah, blah, blah!"

     "Oh, stop being such a baby. Of course we care about you. Everyone cares about you." Y/n said.

"You care about me?"

"Don't let it get to your head, gasbag."

"You're in love with me! I knew it!"

"Gross!"

"You want me to be your boyfriend, don't you?" Tommy taunted. His wings suddenly popped out of his back and he swooped over to Y/n. Before she knew how to react, the boy kissed her on the lips. A million thoughts ran through Y/n's head at once. Tommy was annoying. He had dumped her in vats of disgusting gloop. He'd put creepy crawlers in her bed. But the most awful thought of them all was the one about the kiss—it was nice.

     The two separated and stared at each other for a long time.
Tommy grinned and broke the silence. "I believe the word you are searching for are thank you."

  And then Y/n punched him in the belly.
Tommy hunched over, gasping for breath.
"You try that again, you little freak, and you're going to need a dentist," Y/n shouted. She turned and stomped back down the path. "We're going out with Uncle Punz. Granny says you have to go. We're waiting in the car!",
   Y/n found the door to Tommy's room, opened it and slammed it behind her. She leaned against the wood, feeling hot embarrassment on her face. Ever since she started noticing boys, she dreamed about her first kiss. She had imagined it would occur on the beach or in a flower garden with a really nice boy who liked her. She had never once, not even in her worst nightmares, thought that boy would be Tommy. She couldn't believe her first kiss had been from a dirty, smelly Everafter surrounded by a bunch of screaming chimpanzee pyromaniacs.

  She rushed to the bathroom to see if her face looked different. Would anyone be able to tell what she had Tommy had just done?  She turned the water on, ran some soap over a washcloth, and scrubbed her face. When she was finished, her skin was as raw as when she tried to scrub off Tommy's mustache and goatee. She still looked flushed and embarrassed.
 
   By the time Y/n got back downstairs, Niki was tapping her foot by the door.

"Where's Tommy?" Nihachu asked.

"He's coming," Y/n said as she snatched her coat from the closet.

"Did you two kiss and make up?" Nihachu asked.
   Though she couldn't see it, Y/n was sure her face was as red as a tomato.

"Maybe." She responded.
