Meggy waited by the doors of the castle. She and Tari always met before recording. It was...schedule, really. It was just routine.
Meggy saw the door weakly open immediately looking at who was coming in.
Tari. She was...hunched though...she didn't usually have her head so close to the ground...
Her hair flew off her shoulders and straight to her face, her arms tightly around her chest, holding Archibald tightly.
Meggy raised a finger to talk, but Tari walked past as if she didn't exist.
Tari barely glanced at anyone else as she passed by. She was walking towards the wooden door that leads to the basement.
Boopkins grabbed Tari's pant leg and tugged it gently, desperate to know...what's wrong. "Tari..."
Tari slowly moves what little hair covered her eyes, glancing one tearful one down at Boopkins. Just to satisfy him, she kneels down and kisses the fish's forehead, continuing to walk toward the hallway.
Meggy rushes towards her, looking confused. She walks right through the door, seeing Tari walk through the basement doors.
Meggy rushed quickly down the stairs, quietly rushing through the doors.
She looks around for a sign of Tari. Nothing. She walks around, even through the burning water just to try and find her....
Then she heard a familiar singing voice
"At the end of a rainbow there's happiness....
And to find it how often I've tried...
But my life is a race..
Just a wild goose chase...
And my dreams have all been denied....
Why have I always been a failure...
What can the reason be...
I wonder if the worlds to blame...
I wonder if it could be me...
Im...always chasing rainbows..
Watching clouds drifting by...
My schemes are just like all my dreams...
Ending in the sky...
Some fellows look and find the sunshine...
I always look and find the rain..
Some fellows make a winning sometime...
I never even make a gain...
Believe me...
Im...always chasing rainbows...
Waiting to find a little bluebird...
In vain...."
Meggy slowly turns a corner, seeing Tari singing to the yellow rabbit Mario always rudely catches...
Meggy slowly walks over to Tari, taking Nips from her and setting him free. "Hey...what's up with you...?"
Tari slowly looks at Meggy and shakes her head "its nothing sweetheart.."
"C'mon...this isn't you..." Meggy hugs Tari close. "C'mon...tell me how you didn't catch the rainbow..."
"Well...my mother and the Runner office finally caught wind of the relationship and...it...didn't go well.." Tari shrugs.
"Describe...not going well.." Meggy raises her eyebrow.
"Well....my mother wasn't too thrilled with the whole...gay thing...considering everyone in my family is...straight. Once I said you were a girl she...started talking to me like I was a homeless meth addict asking his mom for more drug money.." Tari shrugs silently. "As for my coworkers....everyone except for Lamar has been on my ass about it....Belle even called me a pedophile for sea creatures....most of them just said I was...a freak for wanting to pound a squid...."
Meggy shakes her head quickly. "And you know what? When I marry you, and your mom tries to separate us, I will look her in the face and tell her 'were getting married. Bite my fucking ass and leave. Your not invited.'"
Tari slowly looks at Meggy and smiles. She slowly lifts her phone from her pocket. Turning it on, she slowly calls her mother.
Tari shushes Meggy as she slowly gets a signal, hearing the phone ring.
"Hey mom..." Tari hears the line pick up.
"What? Im busy sweetie."
"Um...a certain someone has something to say to you.." Tari smiles lightly.
"Uh...sure. But make it quick...?"
Meggy silently grabbed the phone, putting her mouth right by the speaker. She grins widely "Were gonna get married, bite my tentacle, bitch."
Meggy hangs up and gives Tari her phone back.
Tari giggles and hugs Meggy tightly "I knew I chose the right squid..."
