This chapter is dedicated to Tweak_athaga_bunny as she requested this chapter. It is a sequel to Growing Closer and contains Twarnacles (Tweak x Barnacles) It carries on where Growing Closer left off, a few days later, so I advise you read that if you haven't already so it makes a little more sense. Hope you enjoy!


Online: HopToIt, SuperStrength

HopToIt: :(

SuperStrength: Hey Tweak, u okay?

HopToIt: ... Yeah I'm good

SuperStrength: I know when you're good, and right now you're the opposite

SuperStrength: don't lie to me

HopToIt: it's no big deal, honest

HopToIt: just me being paranoid again

SuperStrength: Is it about - you know - what we talked about last time?

HopToIt: sort of

HopToIt: ish

SuperStrength: do you need to talk about it

SuperStrength; you can tell me, it's okay

SuperStrength; I won't tell anyone else if you don't want me to

HopToIt: ... u promise...?

SuperStrength: of course

SuperStrength; cross my heart

HopToIt: Well you know I told you about my old boss

SuperStrength: oh yeah, the one that laughed at you, bullied you then sacked you for fighting back

SuperStrength; that boss

HopToIt: uh huh

HopToIt: Well what I didn't tell you is that ... he was my dad

SuperStrength: your dad did that to you?

HopToIt: he's always been abusive to me

HopToIt; then forced me to work for his company when I turned sixteen

HopToIt: you know that the company shut down a few days ago?

SuperStrength: oh yeah good riddance

HopToIt: Well my father apparently thinks it's something to do with me...

HopToIt: since I left he hasn't contacted me at all

HopToIt: that is, until last night

SuperStrength: what did he say?!

HopToIt: he thinks that I told someone that the company bullied me which is why it shut down, even though I didn't

HopToIt: and then he started sending me death threats

SuperStrength: that's horrible

SuperStrength: you can't let him get to you

SuperStrength: we'll help you however we can

HopToIt; thanks cap

HopToIt: I guess I needed to tell someone to try get it off my mind

SuperStrength: you need an escape from it

SuperStrength: ... I have an idea

HopToIt: what is it?

SuperStrength: Well the Octopod's fairly near the shore right now, isn't it?

HopToIt: yeah :)

SuperStrength: Well how would you like to go out to a dance party at the nearby city?

HopToIt: ... I'd love to cap!!

SuperStrength: you just need to get your mind off it, that's all :)

SuperStrength: why not at a dance party

SuperStrength: the Octopod can manage without us for a few hours

HopToIt: that'd be great!

HopToIt; thanks cap

HopToIt: I really appreciate it

SuperStrength: you got a nice dress?

HopToIt; I'm sure I can put something together ;)
