Object High

Chapter 7

The sun was shining, the clouds were fluffy. The kids were walking around the park.
Suddenly, DEATH PACT heard a noise.
A familiar sound...
Death.
They rushed to the aid of the poor Ice Cube.
Ice Cube: "I... I'm melting!!"
There was a sudden heat wave - Somehow it was 80 degrees in the middle of winter. It looked like summer in January.
Blocky, laughing: "Looks like it's the opposite of Christmas in July!"
Tree: "This is a serious matter! Icy's dying!!"
Liy quickly comes to the rescue to save the poor girls life, giving her some ice and a large fan.
Ice Cube: "I feel a lot better now."
Pie: "I think there might be other students trying not to overheat in these conditions. I'm used to this weather, but others like Icy aren't used to it at all."
Tree: "Agreed. Let's see if Snowball needs any help."
Lightning: "Oh, geez..."
Marker: "What's wrong?"
Lightning: "We had... a history."
Black Hole: "This was before you came to Object High, Marker."
Marker: "It was?"
Lightning: "Yeah... we used to date before we started fighting and he came out as aro/ace."
Marker: "I'm sorry!!"
Lightning: "At least I have you now..."
Marker just smiles at him warmly and plants a soft kiss on his cheek.
Snowball cries out in agony, for the first time since the beginning of fifth grade.
Snowball: "I'm fucking melting!!!"
Liy does the same thing to Snowball as she did to Icy, but with a little more ice.
Snowball: "I didn't need your help!"
Liy: "What, you wanted to die? It's for your own good!"
Snowball grunts and says, "Ugh. I guess."
Then, a shout from a small child is heard.
Cherry JR: "Ice cream!!! Yay!!"
The members of DEATH PACT look absolutely shocked.
Pie: "C-Cherry JR?! Who adopted you?"
Cherry JR: "These nice men named Jordan and Popsicle take care of me! They're your age!"
Tree: "I recognize that name from the plays at school."
Silver Spoon, Candle, Tea, Amelia, Liam, Bryce, Lightbulb, and Paintbrush walk by at the mention of their castmate.
Silver Spoon: "Jordan! That fellow that plays the narrator most of the time."
Bryce: "Ironic how he's so quiet in class. Here he is, telling us all about Romeo."
Lollipop: "I'm still irked by kissing Silver Spoon..."
Silver: "I have a girlfriend!"
Candle: "I know it's acting, dear. No need to be so worried."
Silver: "But dear, I would feel terrible! You're a princess in my eyes!", and then he kisses her hand.
Lollipop: "Well, I'm gay as hell, so that's not a big deal."
Paintbrush: "We know."
Lightbulb: "Yeah!!! It was so obvious!!!"
Lollipop: "I just don't know how I will ever get Flower to like me."
Pie peeps in, knowing well that Flower does see her the same way.
Pie: "I don't think that will be a problem. Just say how you feel. You'll still be friends if she doesn't look at you as you look at her."
[A/N: I love Pie rn-]
Lollipop: "Thanks. And I mean it."
The evening in the park still goes on. Couples and throuples on picnics. It seems perfect. Stars in the sky, water rushing by the lake. It seems like a perfect day for two pairs to collide.
Pin: "Should we tell... them how we feel?"
Coiny: "Knowing Leafy, she'll find out eventually. It's best for us."
The pair then goes to find Firey and Leafy.
Coiny: "Where are they?!"
Leafy then walks up behind Pin and hugs her.
Leafy: "Hey, Pin!!"
Pin: "Hey Leafy... me and Coiny have something to tell you and Firey."
Firey: "What is it?"
Coiny: "Here, follow us to the canal."
The group then ran to the canal. It looks prettier than usual, with the atmosphere seeming almost ethereal.
Coiny: "We... We like you, We like you two."
Pin: "I've been thinking for a while and... I think I like three people. Coiny, Leafy, and Firey."
Coiny: "Maybe we could be a poly relationship, if you're up for it."
Leafy and Firey stand there, frozen. They can't believe that these complex emotions of love they were feeling are reciprocated.
Leafy: "I've been feeling the same way, actually!! A poly relationship sounds really awesome!!"
Firey: "I'll have to agree with Leafy. Even if Coiny and I had a past, we've made up, and fallen in love."
Coiny: "True that."
Leafy: "So we're all a thing... with each other?"
All Four: "Yeah. We are."
The wonderful night ends with the four new romantics holding hands, with the night sky and the canal in the background. Nothing could beat this day in their eyes.
Nothing can stop romance. Not even a heatwave.

[A/N: THANK YOU FOR GETTING THIS TO THE TOP 200 OF ALL INANIMATE INSANITY STORIES!! This is my longest work ever, and I'm really passionate about it. It warms my heart to see a lot of people appreciate what I write. Might publish my poem book, Ashes. If you liked this story, why don't you read this other one of mine, Glory to the Hand! It's a little darker, with gore and stuff, so if you like horror and object shows, this AU is perfect for you! {shameless plug}]
