P.I.E.: A Nymphic Faerietale

Chapter 10

Johnny Ghost sat on his bed, holding his head in his hands. His face was bright red with embarrassment, and his knuckles were bone white. Jimmy was laughing hysterically in his head, as he was still mocking Ghost for acting like a complete derp during Carlisle's lesson about nymphs. Of course you would interrupt something important as this, you asinine jerk. Ghost thought at his evil half. What? You can't take a joke? Jimmy shot back. You embarrassed me in front of Carlisle!  Ghost thought back at him, infuriated.

Ghost heard footsteps behind the door of the bedroom. Johnny Toast knocked on the door.

 "Sir," he called gently, trying not to upset his partner. "What happened?"

"Blame Jimmy for all of this," Ghost told him, having calmed down after venting his anger out.

Toast opened the door.

"What exactly did he say?" Toast inquired.

"That I had a crush on Carlisle, and teased me about it." Ghost sighed.

"Okay, don't yell at me for this, but," Toast told him. "I don't think that reaction was necessary."

"You're right," Ghost apologized. "I had no reason to flip out like that. I was just embarrassed."

"No! No!" Toast laughed. "I can understand why you did that! I can imagine that Jimmy was being a complete bully about it!"

"That's not really it," Ghost went on, blushing. "I actually... kinda do... have a crush on Carlisle..."

Toast immediately stopped laughing.

"Yeah..."

Carlisle was still pretty embarrassed herself. Mereda and Sarah were still confused as to what was going on. The three of them heard Toast laughing for a little bit, then it stopped abruptly. Ghostie, in the mean time had gone into the kitchen to explore. Every thought that passed through Carlisle's head was about Ghost judging her. She eventually got so worried and embarrassed (she had also given herself a headache), that she started crying.

After five minutes, a crash from the kitchen broke the silence. Carlisle stopped crying, and Sarah rushed to the kitchen to see what was going on. Ghostie had somehow opened the freezer and knocked a package of frozen salmon, and a couple of other things, including a frozen pizza, onto the floor.

"Ghostie!" Sarah shouted. Carlisle and Mereda rushed in to see the damage. They gasped, then laughed at what they saw. Ghostie was standing next to the salmon, meowing.

"I think someone's hungry!" Mereda laughed.

The Johnnys heard the crash, and came running downstairs to see what happened.

"Oh, my God," Ghost gasped "She's almost as destructive as Jimmy."

Toast said nothing, but just stood there with widened eyes.

Ghostie meowed again, this time, louder.

"We think she's hungry," Sarah stated.

"Yeah, that's pretty apparent," Toast sighed, scratching the back of his head.

"Wait," Carlisle said, confused. "Ghosts need to eat to?"

"Some do, not all of them," Ghost pointed out. "Only very high level ghosts, in which Ghostie obviously is one. However, most ghosts are a very low level, and back in biblical times, that's the only kind of ghost there was. Nowadays, there are some ghosts that can even pass off as normal human beings."

"That's weird," Was all Mereda could say.

Toast put everything away, besides the salmon. Sarah prepared the salmon for Ghostie, who watched intently as she sliced it. Ghost was sitting there, bored, and eating some Oreos with a glass of milk, trying his best to keep from watching Sarah make Ghostie her food, so that Jimmy didn't feel the urge to come out and spoil the peace. However, Ghost couldn't keep the image of the blackened rose bush out of his mind. What he had learned while studying Greek Mythology in high school was that dryads restored life to vegetation, they didn't poison them. Was there a secret dark side to the nymphs like Ghost had Jimmy secretly hiding in his mind?

Hey, guys! Sorry for not updating for a while! I've been very busy with school work and all that jazz for a while now. Even though I wrote this on a Saturday, I'm still doing work that was assigned for yesterday and Thursday! Yeah, I've been busy. Please forgive me, and I hope you enjoyed this comedic chapter!
