I decided to write this oneshot about a movie I watched on Netflix called Standing Up. If you haven't seen it I suggest you do cause then it will make a lot more sense. It's not a movie that has been in theaters but I thought it was the cutest movie I had ever seen. When I tried looking up fanfiction or oneshots about them, there was nothing. I thought it was horrible that no one had written anything about this couple because they were adorable. I decided that I would be (possibly) the only person to write anything about Grace and Howie (or Growie or Hace). So here it is my oneshot about the adorable couple. Howie and Grace (aka: the goats)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grace POV:
It has been a while since I last saw Howie. After what happened with Howie, I knew that I liked him. It was weird cause I never felt this way before, but I knew. I think I first started liking him after he saved me from Butch.
Even though Howie said that he hated hurting people I knew that he did it to protect me. We kept in touch after the summer camp nightmare that happened to us. The last letter that I got from him two days ago wrote about how his new family did not work out. I then told a family in my neighbor hood about him after I read this and they were interested in having an older child. The next day or so I got another letter from Howie and he wrote that the family would take him in. They are nice people and I know that Howie will love them. His letter also wrote that he would be going to my school and he would be in town in a day or so.
It has been three years since summer camp with Howie. Howie and I are now fifteen. Summer is almost over and Howie will be here tomorrow. I'm excited to see him, but I am scared about how I will react to him.
When I first met him he was cute, he had a brown bowl hair cut and dark blue eyes covered by his square glasses. But now that we are older I know that he will be more handsome. I'm socially awkward and I don't act well around boys. I have always been an outcast because of my glasses. When I went to space camp I was scared to interact with the other kids, but after a while of getting to know them, I realized how much I was like them. But that was also because I stayed more around the girls then the guys.
When I got my first package from Howie and read how he thought I was a "super fine fox" it was defiantly a confidence builder. But would he still think that of me when we meet again? I have long red orange hair and grey blue eyes and over the years I've gotten more curves and a bigger bust. But I don't know if I'm included in the pretty group. I've never thought myself as pretty until that letter from Howie.
As I was in bed thinking about this I realized that it was late and I wanted to meet Howie in a happy stage and not angry because of getting no sleep. I drifted off to sleep knowing that I would see Howie soon.
I woke up at ten in the morning knowing that Howie wanted to meet up and eleven. I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair. I then brushed my hair and straitened it only to put it in a high pony tail. I put my red slightly orange glasses on and brushed my teeth. Then I put on a pink flowery blouse matched with my white pants and pink flip flops. Taking a once over and deciding that I looked good I told my mom that I was going to meet Howie and I then started to ride on my mint bike over to the park that we would meet at.
I chained my bike to the bike rack and headed toward where I thought I saw him. His brown hair was no longer in a bowl cut but was cut shorter to his head. He was wearing a blue baseball cap and a white shirt and jeans. With the white shirt I could tell that he must have started to work out over the years. He had his usual glasses on too.
I walked over to him.
"Hi." I said quietly.
"I missed you Grace." He said with a smile. I smiled back.
"I missed you too." I said.
Without warning I felt arms wrap me in a bear hug. I was beginning to think it was going to be one of those family squish you to death hugs, but it wasn't. It was a warm gentle hug that made me know that he missed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my feet on top of his so I could hug him. I thought it would be hard to hug him cause of how short I am, but I kind of fit like a puzzle piece. We stood there hugging until he pulled back to look at me.
"You really are a super fine fox." He said with a grin. I blushed and looked down.
"Thank you. I guess you don't look to bad your self." I said unsure of whether I should have said that or not. He grinned.
"Grace." He whispered. I looked up at him.
"There's something that I've been wanting to tell you in person ever since camp." He said nervously.
"What?" I said.
"I'm glad that I'm a goat." He started. I was going to say something when he cut me off.
"Because of those kids I got to meet you. I never regret being pranked because I got to see the real you. And not the person that everyone made fun of you for." He said looking at me. He then looked away and smiled only to turn to me and say, "Shadow Grace Golden, I'm in love with you. And if you don't like me that way then that's ok. I just waited long enough to tell you and I'm not giving up the chance to tell you now."
I looked at him with a big grin.
"You're in luck because I love you too." I said.
That was all it took for him to kiss me on the lips. He put his hands on my waist and I put my arms around his neck. Standing on his feet he pulled me close to him. While kissing him I knew he was right. I was glad those kids pranked us cause it brought me to him. Goat Island was the last place I wanted to be when I was first there but I would never regret it. He was the only one to protect me from the bullies. And I was the only one to tell him that he was an amazing person when he thought about those kids. No one would ever make me feel bad again while he was around. He is the only goat for me.
