The bats flew away finally leaving us somewhat dazed. We quickly come back down to earth and go towards the hole.
"Hey you guys if we keep walking then we'll make it to China." Data says making me laugh. I look and see Mikey with Andy.
"This could be dangerous. You might want to hold my hand." I heard him say. I know she grabbed his hand. I shake my head. Boys can never choose just one can they. I never stood a chance. I push ahead of the others and go in back of Brand.
"Your brothers a jerk." I mumble. He just looks down at me with pity as the others get excited about somthing.
"You guys look its a waterfall." Mikey exclaims from ahead of us. Wait when did they get ahead. His hand stays in Andy's as they walk foward. We walk foward and stare at the coins sitting on the rocks as water came down. I smile brightly. Mikey walks through the water fall, his hair matted down onto his head. Data and Mouth step through, a wow escaping Data's lips. I grab Brands hand and pull him through. He shivers at the cold making me laugh and him playfully glare down at me. He picks me up and sits down with me making me shriek at the cold water. He splashes me and we laugh. I try to pull him up only to fall back into the water making us laugh harder. We finally stand up fully, holding onto eachother in order not to fall. Mikey glares over at us.
"It wasn't the best day to wear all white I guess." I say laughing as my cloths soaked up the water. We scoop up coins as we all yell in delight. But then it hits me. This can't be the treasure. I look at the coins , George Washington, Kennedy, Lincoln. I drop it as they realize the same thing I did and begain to yell at eachother.
"Its the old Moss Garden Wishing well." I say.
"You know I always used to belive that when you threw your money in it turned into your wish." Andy says. I sigh.
"I wasted so many coins on this well, all on the same wish. That wish never came true. I should've moved on before my heart was broken. I should have listened to my father. Fairytales are make belive, told at night to help you sleep. It fills your mind with wishes and hopes that turn demanding when no one gets there happy ending." I say. A coin catches my eye, one that I threw in about 2 years ago with a a note on the back. I was suprised to see it wasn't wet. It was nestled in a crack. I rushed foward and grabbed as the spoke behind me. I opened up the note.
I don't know if these things really work, my past experiences with this well have show me otherwise. My Wish never came true. But I'll keep trying. People keep telling me to give up. He'll never like you, he will break your heart but I don't belive them. We became friends in the first grade. I grew a crush on him in the middle of 4th grade. Mikey Walsh. He's so sweet and kind and caring. I keep wishing he'll like me so Ill wish once again.
I wish that I would have a chance with Mikey Walsh -Y/n (Red)
I shake my head and rip up the note before throwing into the water. Everybody watches as I throw the quarter as far as I can. I sit down on the ledge, water now crashing onto my head. Mikey turns back to what he was doing, grabbing the wasteful wishes.
"You guys wait wait stop. We can't do this." Stef says to Mikey and Data who drop the coins.
"Why?" They both question. I walk down from the ledge.
"Because these are somebody else's wishes. Somebody else's dreams. Even if they don't come true they have hope." I say catching their attention again.
"Yeah but you know what. This one. This one right here. This was my dream. My Wish! And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back." Mouth says going under water. I sigh and go underneath the water with him to stop him. I come back up and slapping the coins out of his hands. He glares at me. We all turn as a coin comes down. Data grabs the coin and tosses it back up catching the guys attention.
"Hey! Who's down there!" A voice yells. Andy yells for them to drop down the bucket. They lower the bucket down and Data trys to climb in.
"Im the leader so I call the shots. Andy goes first, I go second, Red and Mikey goes third-"
"Hey why do I have to go with Mikey. What did I just tell you. Make me go forth I don't want to go with that ass." I say making Andy, Steff, Data, and Mouth gasp. Mikey turns around.
"Chester Copperpot don't you guys see. Don't you realize. He was a pro, he never made it this far. Look how far we've come. We've got a chance." Mikey says obviously not hearing what I've said.
"A chance at what Mikey, getting killed! Look if we keep going someone's really gonna get hurt, someone may end up dead!" I yell at him.
"Besides we need to get to the police." Andy says agreeing with me.
"What of Chunk already got to the police." Mikey smiles.
"Maybe Chunk is dead!" I yell at him. He shakes his head.
"Dont say that! Never say that! Goonies Never Say Die!" He yells at me. I shake my head , tearing up.
"I- I.... Mikey your an idiot! I I I don't want to be a goonie anymore! Your an ass!" I yell tears escaping my eyes. They all gasp. His face drops in hurt. I can tell he's tearing up.
"But you said that you were a goonie. Red, you you made an oath." Mikey says.
"And you promised not to hurt me." I say stepping foward. I lose my footing and let out a gasp as i fall foward.
"Y/n!" I hear Mikey yell. I wait for the impact of the cold water but land in his arms. I cling onto him as I cry.
"Y/n please forgive me for whatever I did I'm sorry." He says setting me down. I nod and wipe my eyes. Goonies don't cry... but for that one minute I wasn't a goonie.
"Fine Mikey." I say standing there stiffly, looking down. I stiffen up even more when he hugs me to him. I relax and reluctantly hug him back.
"I still don't think it's safe to go on." I say. He pulls away, shaking his head.
"But don't you see. The next time we see the sky it will be over in another town. The next time you take a test it'll be in some other school. Our parents they want the best for us. But right now we've gotta do what's right for them cause this is their time. Their time! Up there. Down here it's our time. It's our time down here! That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket." Mikey says before looking at me.
"Mikey I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose anybody." I say grabbing his face. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. He leans in but I stop him.
"Now is not the time for that. Right now is our time to save our friendship." I say. I smile and laugh as Mikey takes two puffs of his inhaler. Andy takes of her jacket, scoffing at the stitching that had Troy written on it. She placed it on the bucket and tugged on the rope. We watched as the jacket raised up. We watch as he grabs the jacket, his laughing stopped.
"Andy! You Goonie!"
