Team Crazy DEMAKE

The Talk~

Personally, I preferred water, even milk which my mom said was weird. However, that isn't what I'm here to talk about now. Now, I had gotten more time with Shotzi. Then again, she did now start by saying,

"You can call me Ash."

"Short for Ashley?"

"Yep."

      I occasionally called her Shotzi by mistake, it's sort of that instinct in my head, I was initially worried that Ash would be upset about that but she wasn't, there goes me get a bit worried over nothing. Mom always said I had that in me.

"So, Ash.....you got anything else you do in your free time?"

"I enjoy a good movie."

"What kind of movie?" I did have an eyebrow raised while we spoke. Ash averted her eyes away from me to think about it.

"I like a good horror movie, and a few Disney movies."

"Nice. I do agree, always been a bit of a horror buff myself. Mostly me and my mom would go to see the newest horror film that was out."

I do remember those days, maybe not the whole day, sometimes I have either I have a perfect idea of what happened or I have no idea that I ever did that.

"It was so cool to watch You're Next when it came out. Was a big fan of that film."

"That was a pretty sweet film, not gonna lie. My personal favorite has always been Halloween."

      I had to do a double take, mainly to see if my ears were hearing that right. She said she liked Halloween, however, my smartass said to her,

"Which one?" Ash didn't call me out for that, instead she just continued on her talk.

"The original! The main one that matters!"

"Sorry, had to just ask for clarification."

"It's fine, then again, Zombie's Halloween is memorable for.....different reasons." Ash just shrugged while I could only nod in agreement, not really having much else to say about Rob Zombie's Halloween duology in the 2000's.

We both talked a bit more about random things but I was thinking of heading out, however, Ash had asked me,

"Mind if I head out with ya?"

"Do you mind?"

"I don't care. I don't have much of anything to do."

      I still thought about it, I was thinking about it all too much. But Ash didn't seem to care, I asked her again, and she said a similar response to her first.

I went silent for a couple of seconds. I didn't know how to feel about that other than mildly uncomfortable. It just hit me out of nowhere. Finally I made my decision to leave with her, Ash nods as we leave our little spot.

      As me and Ash leave the spot, I started to feel uneasy, almost like there were some eyes on me at all times. I turn my head to see if there was anyone, even a small smidge of eyes, I saw no one outside that window. Ash even said to me,

"There a problem?"

"Not that I see.....I just thought someone was watching us."

".........You already drank?"

      I turned my head back to Ash and broke my composure, I now was laughing to myself.

"No. I don't drink." Ash and I smile to one another as we leave. Though the lingering feeling of eyes comes back as we leave.

I was fiddling with the keys in my hands, hovering them right in front of the key hole which led to my apartment.

"Sorry, I'm trying to get the right key."

"It's fine man. You don't need to apologize."

"Ok. So-."

      My mind stopped itself before I could apologize again. Ash chuckled while pushing away some of her green locks. I get the door open to my apartment as I say,

"Here it is, my home away from home."

"It's nice. You have any pets?"

"N-no....I didn't sign any pets up, even then I would've brought in a cat."

The green haired woman nods her head in response, walking into my room, I see that my couch isn't fully aligned with the wall. I hide my mild annoyance with that spot and we move over to the couch.

"You enjoy any other shows or movies as of late?"

"Trying to get back into The Sopranos."

"I love The Sopranos!" I did perk up when she replied with that. She had this infectious smile.

"It's great so far! It's a pretty popular show too."

"Who doesn't like The Sopranos?"

"The ones who didn't like the ending?"

"That may be true to some." We could only laugh again, as I then got an idea in my head.

"I need to show you my collection!"

"Let's see it!"

      Me and Ash hung out for a bit longer, watching an episode of The Sopranos as she and I just chatted about our favorite movies and shows. When it was getting late, I sent Ash out. We waved our goodbyes as I just sighed in relief.

———

      Getting into the performance center I was immediately greeted by Ash.

"Had some good rest buddy?"

"Yeah I'm ok....."

"Hey (M/n)!.......And....Shotzi." A familiar female had spoke up behind me, it was Dakota, with Tegan behind her. She had her hands behind her back, she had this look of disgust in her face.

"Hey, how's it going Dakota?"

"Oh I'm good....Just wondering what you're doing with her."

Ash quietly holds back her anger and just replies to Dakota,

"We're just hanging out is there a problem with that?"

"Oh no! There isn't! I was just looking forward more to being with him!"

"Why? Why do you have to?"

"Because I want to ok!!!!"

      The kiwi was fuming. Her eyes were bulging out of her head. She then had her left hand over her head. Her friend Tegan went to comfort her,

"What's wrong?"

"I'm getting this weird feeling in my head....It hurts!"

      Dakota starts clutching her head in pain, not wanting to look either me, nor anyone else in the eye.

"Do you need a doctor Dakota?" I told her as she just avoided eye contact with me. She kept muttering something to herself, I don't know what, but the way she said it sounded kind of threatening. I almost thought I heard,

'Why is he hanging around with her?'

"I don't think I need one (M/n).....I just might need some rest today."

"Come on Dakota......Just give him a call." I recommended a number for Dakota as she nodded. The kiwi walked away still muttering to herself as Tegan goes after her. I just stand there in silence, I don't know what else to say right now.

Just have to wait to see what will go down with Dakota.
