The Magic Combat Of Love: A Tooniversity story

Chapter 4: Meeting Her

It was the evening and everybody was heading back to their dorms. But Barley didn't. He went back to the bleachers to watch the girl shoot the target again. He couldn't help but stare in awe at her magnificent beauty. Just then as she was about to shoot a target, she slipped and hit her arm on the ground as ice particles exploded in the air like a firework.  Barley noticed and ran to her aid. "Miss! Miss!" Barley yelled running toward her. The girl turned around and noticed Barley running toward her as she tried to stand up. "Miss are you alright?" Barley asked. The girl huffed. "Yes I'm fine. It's just a scratch." she said. She had trouble standing up and Barley helped her up. "Thank you for your kindness." she told Barley. "Aw, don't mention it." Barley said. He noticed the scratch on her arm. "I can help you with that." he said as he took out a band-aid from his vest. He put it on her and she smiled. "Good as new." Barley smiled. The girl looked up and smiled at Barley. "Thank you." she said. Barley grinned nervously and looked left and right. Then the girl started to shiver. Barley noticed and put his vest on her and beanie on her head. "Shall we?" Barley said as he took the girl's hand and led her up to the bleachers. Once they got there, Barley and the girl looked at each other then looked away. There was an awkward silence. "So you have a name?" Barley asked her. "I'm Elsa. Yours?" she smiled. Barley gulped. "Barley Lightfoot madam," he said and bowed before Elsa. Elsa giggled. "That's a clever name." she said. The two started to chatter and had small conversations.

Leo was heading back to his dorm when he heard a distant chatter out on the bleachers. He couldn't help but notice it was Elsa and the blue elf he had seen at the office with his brothers. Leo sighed and walked away thinking he will never get the chance to tell Elsa how he really feels about her. As Leo walked away, he thought he heard rustling in the bushes then he shrugged it off and kept walking away. Two birds, a red and light blue one, couldn't help but notice Leo. Once Leo was gone, they turned into a red imp and blue imp. "Man that turtle guy looks like he has a problem," said the blue imp as the red one bonked him on the head with his fist. "Duh, what does it look like Panic? Clearly he's upset about...love, bleh!" said the red imp. Suddenly a voice from came over a headset the red imp was wearing. "Pain! Panic! Any news?" said the voice. "Yeah boss. Looks like a turtle hybrid is upset about getting the girl he wants." Pain said to the voice. Panic yanked over the microphone from Pain's ear and put it on his. "Yeah and cause, well, a blue elf guy has taken over his love. She looks like the ice spirit we have been hearing about." Panic said as Pain yanked back the headset. "You don't say? Well we just might have another customer." the voice said. "But boss, we've already tried." Pain said. Panic took the headset again. "Remember what happened last time?" Panic said nervously. "Look!!! Do you imbeciles want a job or not?! Get back here and we'll discuss the issue!!!" the voice roared. Panic dropped the headset as Pain picked it up. "Yeah. We'll do it for you boss." Pain said rolling his eyes as he and Panic hung up. "What are we gonna do Pain? This has happened before! I don't want it to happen again!" Panic panicked. "You mean if it happens again," Pain told his friend. Panic stopped and thought to himself. "If, if is good." Panic replied and they both headed back to their boss.

Barley and Elsa kept laughing and talking until Bonkers the Bobcat showed up. "You two better get your butts back to your dorms! It's getting late." Bonkers said. Barley let Elsa down first. "After you milady." Barley told Elsa. "Thank you kind sir." Elsa giggled and curtsied as Barley took her hand and walked down the bleachers. They were walking back to their dorm rooms. They arrived at Elsa's first. There was a long pause as Barley and Elsa looked at each other. "It was nice chatting with you, Barley. Maybe we'll see each other again." Elsa said. Barley cleared his throat. "Yeah ahem yeah. Sure. Anytime."  he said. "I better go. Thank you for chatting with me. I had a great time." she told Barley. "Sure madam," Barley bowed as Elsa curtsied and walked into her dorm room. "Good night Barley." she said. "Good night Elsa." Barley said back. Once Elsa closed the door, a shiver went through Barley as he walked away. This must be what love feels like. Awesome. Barley thought to himself and walked back to his dorm. Ever since then Barley and Elsa became the best of friends.
