We're Back

Is love in the air?

"Why are you always doing this?!"

Micah flushed like a toilet.

"I-I-I- I didn't mean it! Satcii!!"

"NO! Stop always trying to burn my light out! Do you even know what that does to me?"

Micah stared at her with his mouth open.

"The flame of a candlestick is very important. It's almost like it's the only special thing a candlestick can have. Burning it out means the END of me Micah. Why don't you EVER understand me?!"
Stacii stood up and ran away.

"Aw man... I'm not good with candlesticks..."

Micah stood up and sadly walked out of the bar to the beach. He sat down at his usual seat and looked out at the ocean. It was very calm this night.

"I Miss pineapple."

A single tear, as single as Micah himself, ran down his face like Stacci ran out of the bar.

"I shouldn't have drunk her. I'm all alone. And I'll probably always be."

Micah held his head in his hands. He quickly took them away again as he realized his hands were completely dirty and stank really badly. One last look at the ocean, then Micah stood up to go home when suddenly he sees a pineapple.

"Hello", the pineapple didn't say because they still can't talk.

Micah stared at her. The wind of the ocean made her leafs flatter. So many thoughts went through his head in that moment but one was particularly strong: "She is gorgeous."

"No, I'm Pi."

"Wha-, did you just talk?"

"Uhm, yeah? Is that...so weird?"

Pi looked at him as if he had a problem.

"Nono, not weird."

He sat back down, looked at the ocean, then back at Pi, his hand tapping the seat beside him for her to sit down.

"I can smell your hands from here. You don't really expect me to sit down on something your stinky hands just touched, do you?"

Micah suddenly burst into tears.

"Wow. Gross."

"The world is so mean. Wahmen are so mean to me. I won't ever find someone I love and who loves me as much in return, it's so-"

"Dude, shut up."
Micah looked at her.

"I just stood here. I never asked you to tell me your problems. Wtf man."

Micah looked on the floor and then back at the sea. He stared at it for a longer moment and thought about things.

"This is worth it."

He stood up and walked straight into the ocean.

"Micah? Micah what are you doing?!"

Pi seemed to get hectic. She ran after him.

"Micah don't go in there!!"

"WHY NOT?! Why? Why shouldn't I?"

Pi watched him walk passed her, not taking his eyes away from the ocean.
He's pretty far in the water by now. Probably can't feel the ground under his feet anymore. Because the water is so cold.
Suddenly Micah disappeared.

"MICAH!! Oh no, oh nononononoo..."

Pi ran in circles. She seemingly did not know what to do.

"I didn't prepare for something like that today!! What should I do???"

The waves of the night where strong and the wind was cold. There was no other person in sight. Pi was devastated and felt like it was too late. She just stood there looking to the ocean, wind in her leafs. She sighed.

"...Farewell Mica-"

"Who are you talking to?"

Pi turned around startled. Micah stood behind her.

"Micah?! What the-"

"Look!"
Micah showed her a Stone. Pi was still confused as to how he could have suddenly appeared behind her but quickly forgot about it when the stone started glittering beautifully under the night sky.

"What...what stone is this? It's beautiful..."

"It's a diamond I suppose. I saw it glittering from over there and just had to get it. And I'd like to give it to you. And look: clean hands!"

Pi looked at Micah and back at the diamond.
"I just met you, stupid. But I appreciate the effort. I'll accept. You're not that weird after all."Micah let out a squeak of happiness. Finally he made it all by himself. A pineapple likes him. Micah was really proud of himself.
"Honey?"
Pi and Micah turned around.
"S-Stacii?"
"Micah, honey, who is this?"
Pi looked confused at Micah and whispered "Is that your girlfriend?"
Stacii went over to Pi to introduce herself.
"Hi, I'm Stacii, Micah's girlfriend. We've had a fight before and I'm assuming he thought our relationship is over. Honestly, I'm a little surprised he could move on so quickly but I mean...with such a pretty and attractive pineapple...I think I would too."
Pi flushed like a toilet. Stacii continued.
"Micah, I'm sorry I overreacted before. I hope you understood my point though and we can continue with what we had."
Micah looked at Stacii and then at Pi.
"Do you like Pi?" Micah asked.
"Oh, uhm, I mean... She looks really sweet and she is my taste."
Stacii and Pi exchanged some naughty faces.
Micah couldn't believe what was happening.
"Wait..what do you guys say then...should we just...stay together? The three of us? And be happy together?"
Pi, Stacii and Micah stood there, looking at each other, slowly starting to smile.
"Sure!"
"Wait what- I mean, Great! OH, we should have a name! Like a couples name!" Micah suggested.
"Have you got anything in mind?"
The three of them stood there thinking. Micah snipped his fingers.
"How about we take the first letter of our names and put them together."
Stacii and Pi liked that idea.
The times were great. PMS felt happy and loved by each other and was expecting the future to be just likewise.
That didn't hold on too long though because as soon as Pi found out the stone is no diamond she left Micah.
