Complicated Love

》7《

Ray was munching some cereal on the couch, enjoying his boring time. Until Jasper who was vacuuming him mess. Ray groaned, chewing more cereal.

"Ugh, leave me alone." Ray scoffed, getting up which leaves more mess for Jasper to clean up.

"What's your problem?" Jasper questioned.

"Ugh, I don't feel like figh-"

"Dude! We got an emergency." Henry cuts him off. He grimaces when he saw Ray in this state.

"Dude, what happened to you?"

"I don't want to fight the same villain over again!" Ray yelled, munching more cereal.

"But it's toddler..." Henry snatched his cereal box out of his hand.

"But I don't want to fight. It's getting boring!" He shouted.

"Try Rumblr." Piper popped out behind the counter.

"Yes" "Great idea" Henry and Jasper spoke at the same time.

"What's a Rumblr?" Ray wondered, looking at Piper.

"Rumblr is where you sign up to fight the villains. Any villains." Piper explained, walking up to Ray and showing the app descriptions.

"Why does this exist?"

"I mean it's Rumblr." "We need to fight more villains." "I agree with them." The threesome spoke.

"Okay! What does this exactly have to do with me?"

"Well, you said that you are getting boring to fight the same villains over again. Rumblr has a great experience for every superhero and villain to contract and set the time of date or location to fight. It never gets boring." Henry explained, trying to convince Ray.

"You sure it's gonna work?" Ray looked at them, they nodded.

"Well, let do it!" Ray demanded.

"Keep your chin up. Look at the camera!"  Schwoz commented, taking more photos.

"Are you done yet?" Piper spoke up, typing something for Ray.

"I'm trying!" Schwoz yelled, continuing to take more photos.

"There! I'm done!" Schwoz looked at the photo then threw up the camera. Jasper got the instinct to catch. He caught the camera and asked.

"Why am I holding everything?" They ignored him. Jasper put down a few things, setting the camera on the table.

"So we got your name, likes?" Piper commented.

"Fighting," Ray answered her as Piper listen and type.

"Dislikes?"

"Reading books."

"We already know your appearance, what's your dream fight?"

"I, um..."

"Dude, don't think too much. Just think what you like to fight on." Henry cuts him off.

"Hmm, I like to fight on the blimp. Where I fight with the only villain I like. During midnight, we fought for the sake of our life."

The silence took over them except the sound of the clicking of the keyboards. Then Ray spoke again.

"Is it too much?"

"Oh no." Henry started.

"Is it good?"

"Oh yeah." He said it with his almost deep voice.

"We got our profile picture!" Jasper clicked, transferring the picture to the monitor. They all praised Ray for his effort.

"So we're ready to post it." Henry was about to press the button as Ray held him.

"No, what if-"

"Don't care." Henry press it, posting his profile. Then his phone ringing with Rumblr notifications non-stop. He looks around them then picks up his phone. He was amused for which he was happy inside. He can't tell them that.

"Yeah?" Henry watched Ray as he was shocked, trying not to get exciting.

"Is that the smile I see?" Henry asked with excitement.

"Um-no." He mumbled, turning himself away.

"Yeah, it is." Henry wiggled his finger near the corner on his lips. Ray started to smile, yet he won't show.

A few hours later, Ray was exercising as Piper was setting up to match or decline. Surprisingly, Henry hasn't started his.

"I'm setting my Rumblr account."

"You haven't started yours?" Ray questioned confusingly.

"I can do what I want." He sticks his tongue out.

"Are you gonna fight the best one?" Piper smiled as Jasper shook his head.

"Nah, I'm going with the first one." He smirked, Dr. Darkness was only the first one that appears on swipe.

"You can't do that, your life depends on you!" Jasper whispered loudly in his ear. He scoots away from him and swipes to confirm it.

"Ooo, I gotta fight her in TBD."

"TBD?" Piper quizzed.

"The Beating Dungeon. That's where all the villains are at." Ray concluded, walking up to Piper.

"Ah cool. Alright, swipe left if you don't want to fight. Swipe to the right If you do want to fight. So ready?" Piper explained.

"Yeah, yeah, let get it going." Ray yawned as Piper started the game set up. After a few swipes that Ray denies as Henry gives him a dumbfounded look, he finally found one.

"The Lawn Mower?" Henry looked at him.

"Hm?" Ray inquired.

"Whoa, he got the same dream fight like you. Fighting on the blimp at midnight." He assured as Piper agrees with him.

"Alright, I accept it!" Ray gushed as Piper swipe right. Rumblr chooses its location.

"You'll be fighting at "The Beating Dungeon"," Piper commented when Ray starts to snatch his phone.

"OMG! I can't believe it's happening!" He spoke with glee.

"Gasp, I got a message from the Lawn Mower!" Ray babbled, handing his phone back to Piper for him to read. He's Ray, he hates to read.

"I'm glad you choose me, get mowed." Piper read one of his messages.

"Get it!? "Get mowed"." Ray jabbered, punching Henry's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm setting mine already and told her my jokes," Henry explained.

"Her? It's a girl? You'll be fighting with a girl." Ray scoffed seriously.

"It's not just any girl, it's the one I love." He winked as he texted her.

"Pfft, you can't be love in a villain," Ray complained.

"You can depend on its hearts. It's up to my choice or her choice."

"Ugh, fine as long as she doesn't partner with Drex."

"Dude, I know she can't be."

"Well, shall we start it?" Ray blew his gumball when Henry still texting her. Then Henry blew his gumball with Ray.

"Up the tube!" They yelled as the tube suck them up.
