CATaclysm

Chapter 11: A Dream of the Past

Amy: Chars! Come on hurry up or we'll be late!

Charles: Yea yea I'm going.

Amy and Charles were on their way to the arcade. They've been dating for a couple of months now, they take turns choosing a dating spot. This time it was Amy's turn to choose and she picked an arcade mall. This mall was packed with all types of entertainment, from video games to movie theaters, this mall had it all.

Amy: Two tickets to Trouble in Paradise, please.

Trouble in paradise was a romantic film about two teenagers. Amy really wanted to see it with Charles and today she got the chance. The movie was so touching that it made Amy shed tears. Charles didn't like these drama types of movies, he preferred action and adventure.

Amy: The ending was so ughh, why didn't he take her hand! Ugh, boys are so clueless!

Charles: *sarcastic* Hahaha yea totally. Anyway, what else do you want to do?

Amy: Hmm I'm kinda hungry, let's get some burgers and fries.

Amy was very comfortable around Charles, she felt like she could be herself around him. They got their burgers and fries and started to dig me, especially Amy. She would take big bites and slurp her soda like there was tomorrow. Perhaps she was a bit too comfortable around Charles.

Amy: You having a good time Charles?

Charles: I'm always having a good time when I'm with you.

Once they finished eating they went to the video game section. They were both having a great time, their relationship was great. That was until a certain someone showed up.

Amy: No fair! You cheated!

Charles: Hey it's not my fault that I have such a good aim, maybe you should play more FPS games like me.

Amy: *grunts* Ugh fine, but I believe it's my turn to pick the next game. Let's see.

They went from game to game, hours flew by. The next game was a dancing one. Charles hated dancing, especially in public.

Amy: Come on Charles, this song is for 2 players. Hop on.

Charles: Amy please, can you pick another game. I don't like this one.

Amy: But I already put my token in, come on!

Edward: I'll do it. I'll dance with you.

A voice came from the back. He was wearing a red motorcycle jacket and blue jeans. It was Edward, a rich upperclassman.

Edward: If that's okay with your boyfriend of course.

Charles did not know what to say. The audacity of this guy was unbelievable, he really asked permission to dance with another man's woman. Charles in rage didn't say anything and backed away to take a seat. He watched from afar how Amy and Edward shared laughs. He was being consumed by an awful feeling, a nasty emotion known as jealousy. Clank!

Charles: Wha- who goes there!?

Charles was awakened by the sound of canned food hitting the wooden floor. Dulce was standing in front of him with the can at her feet.

Dulce: S-sorry c-chars! I was hungry and I didn't want to wake you up.

Charles: *smiles* Even when you apologize you're still cute. It's okay, I'm a bit glad you woke me up, I was having a bad dream.

Dulce: Is Chars okay now?

Charles went to patting her head and smiling, if Dulce hadn't woken him up the dream would have turned into a nightmare. He picked up and opened the can of tuna that Dulce dropped. And with that their day has already started.
