The Story of Sqampy

Chapter 50

Joe's POV:

Every since that dream, I have been uneasy. Today was our last day here, and I had a special date planned.

I was going to propose to sqaishey tonight, and I was very nervous.

The previous day we had went to the attractions in Paris. We went to a lookout tower and all kinds of shops. But I couldn't help but think to the day where we had a run in with Melanie.

She seemed so lost, so innocent. Definitely not the girl who dumped me. I found she was cheating on me, but she ended up dumping me after threatening my life.

I was certain that something fishy was going on here. And that dream had something to do with it.

Beth's POV:

I woke up, feeling achy and tired. I slowly dragged myself out of my bed, stumbling blindly to the bathroom, careful not to disturb the sleeping stampy beside me.

I groggily walked in there, closing the door gently as I did so. I looked up in the mirror at myself. I had dark circles underneath my eyes, they were bloodshot as well, and I had stained makeup on my face.

Man! I had no sleep last night at all! I dreamt about Melanie again, but this time she took stampy. I woke with a jolt, luckily not screaming. My mind snapped back to reality as I almost tripped over the rug.

I quickly washed my face, removing the old makeup. I looked a bit better, but I still looked exhausted. I hurriedly applied some concealer on my face and drew my hair up into a quick ponytail.

Well, it's better then nothing. I thought as I looked in the mirror.

I climbed back into my bed, turning on the TV as I did so. I checked the time on my phone. 9:30. Plenty of time to relax.....

Joe's POV:

I tossed and turned every which way in my bed, trying not to get comfy. I finally managed to drift off, only to snap awake again when I heard the TV.

I glanced over to see sqaishey with the remote. She noticed me and smiled.

"Hey, cat." She rubbed my messy hair.

"Morning." I yawned as I sat up so I could put my arm around sqaishey. She giggled at the gesture.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked her, hoping that she didn't have plans for tonight.

"Oh, maybe go around town, in the arcade?" She smiled mischievously at me.

"That sounds fun! Yea, and I thought we could go to that restaurant that we seen yesterday tonight?" I replied back to her. Her face went luminous.

"That sounds so fun! When are we going to start all this?"

"Well we are not really in a rush, so I guess around 12:00?" I asked her. She nodded and we continued to watch TV.

Beth's POV:

"So which games do you want to play?" I asked stampy as we entered the arcade.

He looked thoughtful for a moment before he replied.

"How about we try that basketball game?" He gestured to a hooping game over by the restrooms.

"Ok!"

I pulled him over to the game, excited to test out my skills. Even though I wasn't very active, I always had practiced sports back when I was little, around 6 or 7.

I remember my brother coming up in front of me with the ball.

"Grab it from me, Beth!" He was dribbling all around me, doing all sorts of tricks with the ball. I was fast though, and managed to grab it from him.
