Stampy's Love

Chapter 3-Remembering

"Great! Just great!" Stampy repeatedly kicked his wall in anger. His feet were starting to turn blue and brown from the bruises.
"Lee just leaves! And..." His words melted away. Tears filled up his eye sockets and he let them out. He felt worse than he ever had before.
Squid had let him run away from him. One, Squid needed to take care of Amy, and two, Stampy had been through a lot. It was best to just leave him alone.
He let out one last feeble kick before falling on his bed. Tears leaked out of his eyes as he started to remember more and more of the times Sqaishey spent with him.

"Come on Sqaishey! For a duck who can fly now, you're moving awfully slow!" Stampy hollered. His feet pounded against the ground as he ran across the pathway, zooming through his lovely world to the surprise he had made for his ducky.
"Stamps! Slow down! I'm gonna be sick!" Sqaishey complained. And she wasn't lying. Her face was pale and she was holding her side as if she were wounded. Stampy looked back at her in concern.
"Are you okay?" His question rang in Sqaishey's ear and echoed off of every wall. It shook her and made her shiver until she did get sick. The vile stuff came out and landed on the ground in a splat. She fell to the ground.
"Sqaishey!" Stampy yelled. His face was filled with shock and major concern. He sprinted over to her as fast as he could. She was crying on the ground in her own puddle of vomit.
"Aww, Sqaishey." Stampy shivered. He picked her up bridal style and walked slowly over to his house, making sure to steer clear of the slice of sleep cake that was still there. He kicked the door open and nearly broke it as he walked through the series of corridors over to his bathroom and set Sqaishey on the side of the shower.
"Yell for me when your done ducky." Stampy smiled faintly. Sqaishey nodded slowly and gave him a weak smile. Stampy turned around and walked towards the door.
"Stampy?" Sqaishey's rough voice made Stampy cringe. Stampy turned around and smiled.
"Yea?"
"I- nothing. Go on." Sqaishey stuttered. She held back. Stampy gave her a concerned glance before walking out. He walked back down the hallway and over to Sqaishey's yellow chest and got her an extra set of clothes that were clean. He walked back down the hallway slowly, hoping that she was okay, to hear the sounds of the shower running and Sqaishey singing.
"I'm talking bout' how, people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just a duck and a cat."
Stampy held back from snickering.
"Me I keep on trying to tell how much I love you but no luck." she sang disappointed. Stamps' heart sunk.
"So Stampy now, take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of the magic stars. I'll keep you safe no matter what the cost. I know now, Stampy, I found love I hope you did too." Stampy could tell that she was holding back tears. Stampy smiled.
"I'm glad you did and I have too." Stampy sang back, mimicking the melody.
The shower shut off instantly and Sqaishey squeaked.
"You heard that?!" she yelped, becoming embarrassed.
"Sqaishey, a wise Squid Nugget once told me you should never be ashamed of love." Stampy teleported the dry clothes inside. Sqaishey giggled. There was a long pause until the door opened.
"So, do you really-" Sqaishey was interrupted by being swallowed by Stampy's arms in a hug.
"Yes, and I'll never stop."

"Stamps! The mystery lady is going to come to town!" Sqaishey yelled excitedly, waking up a very annoyed Stampy Cat.
"Who?" Stampy groaned as he slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"The mystery lady! She makes a round every year to different worlds to tell people their fortune! She's never wrong! Seriously! And plus I know her from when I lived in Gramsaw." she said matter-of-factly.
"She's never come here before though." Stampy observed. "Nobody knows where my world is for a reason." Stampy crossed his arms.
"Yeah, but sometimes she gets her directions wrong. Once, she showed up in Zaxer right after she visited!" Sqaishey giggled. Stampy chuckled.
"Alright. How did you even know?" Stampy asked curiously.
"I did a fly over of the world to check for any threats or anything. I saw her and I was so excited, I came here. I wanted it to be a surprise for her!" Sqaishey squealed. "She'll be here any minute! Come on! Let's go!" she yelled and grabbed Stampy's paw and dragged him off the bed with a thump.
"Agh! Sqaishey! One, next time you drag me out of bed, remember you have a power. Two, DON"T DRAG ME OUT OF BED!" Stampy laughed.
"Too bad cat!"
They continued out of the house and on the path and passed the construction site of the portals. They walked over the bridge and past the lighthouse. Sqaishey glanced over to the rocketship in the distance.
"Still totally a carrot." She muttered. Stampy just laughed and protested.
They sat there and waited for her to walk out of the forest. When she did, Sqaishey nearly shot into space.
"Kelsey!!!" She screamed. The girl obviously named Kelsey smiled and ran to hug her.
"Beth! Oh my gosh it's been so long! Wait...didn't you move to..." It took one look at Stampy to make her jump and look behind him.
"OH MY GOSH IM IN STAMPY'S LOVELY WORLD!!" She screamed. She waved her hands up and down in excitement. "Everyone wants to come here! Even the King Notch wants to come here someday and meet you Stampy!"
"That's not true." Stampy said, turning red. "Anyway, welcome to my world."
"It is true," she insisted. "But thank you. OH MY GOSH I CANT BELIEVE I JUST TALKED TO STAMPY!" She screamed. Stampy chuckled.
"Wait...again...are the rumors true? Is Sqampy real?!" She asked giddily, jumping up and down. Sqaishey giggled.
"Maaaaayyybe..." She said suspiciously then kissed Stampy on the cheek.
"I KNEW IT!" Kelsey screamed, pushing her fist into the air.
"See, I told you Sqaishey." She winked.
"Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" She laughed.
"About what?" Stampy asked.
"Oh, when we figured out that she had powers that enabled her to look a small bit into the future, she looked a lot further into the futures than we inquired and said I would be with someone famous." Sqaishey grinned. Kelsey fangirled a bit more.
"Ok," she said, calming down quickly. "Let's get our fortune or futures told!" She jumped and did Jazz hands.
"Alright. Lady's first." Stampy said in a posh accent. Sqaishey giggled and gave Kelsey her wing. Kelsey closed her eyes and opened them and they started glowing white. In her mind she could see all the pictures in the future line up in a row and one picture came into view.
"Oh gosh!" Kelsey giggled. "I'm afraid this one is a clue. I can't reveal this kind of information!" She laughed.
"What why not!" Sqaishey whined.
"Hey! Clue time. There is trouble and captivity where you and Stampy can not see. Nobody can save you not one single friend but there is very large reward waiting at the end." And then the white light coming from her eyes faded.
"Those pictures you put in my head... Oh my. Well I can get through it. If Stampy can save me I should be fine." She laughed.
"But I said-"
"And what is this big reward?" Sqaishey wondered. Kelsey got Stampy's attention by waving frantically while Sqaishey was turned around. She pointed to her ring finger then did a box opening pose. Stampy's eyes widened as he pushed the black box deeper into his pocket.

Then they stopped and he cried himself to sleep.
