《Cherry Bomb and Mouth (A Goonies Love Story)》NINE
Advertisement
(Cherry Bomb's P.O.V.)
It seems as if we'd been walking for hours and Mouth and I still weren't talking because we had hurt each other pretty badly with our previous argument before we got down into the tunnel, but I find myself pretty terrified. I wish that my cousin was here to help me through being scared because we could be scared together.
I am snapped out of my thoughts when I hear Steph yell, "Oh my God you broke my glasses! I can't see a thing without my glasses!"
We continue walking on and on then Andi goes into some sort of shock and starts talking to no one particular while talking way to fast, "Why did I let him look down my shirt? I already have a beautiful body! DON'T I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BODY?!"
"Would ya listen to her Cherry Bomb?" Brand says turning to me.
"How could I not listen to her Brand? She's practically screaming." I say sarcastically.
"How many years do I have before I get all fat? Before my hair falls out? How many years do I have before I look like him?"
I look down and scream grabbing onto Data's arm he takes my hand holding it and then Mouth clears his throat causing Data to let go, "Look at him!" Brand says.
"Don't touch it guys!" Data says.
"This is one of your tricks isn't it One-Eyed Willy?" Mikey asks the imaginary pirate guy.
"You know Mikey, I really doubt he's going to answer back and say 'yeah Mikey it's one of my tricks'!" I say in a fake deep voice.
"Shut up Cherry Bomb!" he says.
"Yeah, shut up!"Brand pipes up defending his younger brother.
"You wouldn't have gone to all this trouble if you weren't really hiding something. Would you?"

I roll my eyes as Mikey keeps talking to no one, but remain silent because of what happened last time.
"He's dead for sure. I think he's dead for sure."Data says in his cute Chinese accent.
"Chester who?" we all ask as Steph tries to comfort Andi.
"Don't you guys remember from the attic? The news article?"
"Yeah, they said that the last guy who went lookin' for the rich stuff he went in but he never came back out!"
"That was like back in 1935." Data finishes.
"Oh, God. If he didn't make it out and he was an expert, what about us guys?" I ask becoming really scared all of a sudden.
"How will we get outta here?" Data asks after me.
"We can't be sure it's Chester Copperpot," Mikey says.
"I know it's him!" Data and I shout in unison.
"I read the article!" Data shouts.
"I bet his ID is in his wallet," I say.
"Mouth, get his wallet!" Brand orders.
"Lou Gerhig?" Mikey questions pulling out a baseball card and looking it over.
"You get it, Mikey!" Mouth says in a really scared voice grabbing a hold of my hand and I can feel it shaking, and his palm is clammy from sweat.
"Mouth, come on get his wallet." Brand says gently.
"Leave him alone Brand, he's really scared! I don't see you reaching down to pick up his wallet, so you have no room to talk buddy!"
"Shut up Cherry Bomb!"
"No, you Brand!" he rolls his eyes at me and I say, "Mikey, you get it! Don't make Mouth get it because you're a chicken shit."
Mikey opens the wallet and says, "It is Chester Copperpot." he says showing it to us.

"Oh, God. Come on." Brand says.
Mouth and I hold each other close in comfort burying our faces in one another's shoulder.
"You see? I told you!" Data yells.
"We're gonna get killed too!" Mouth says almost on the verge of tears and I whisper in his ear,
"We aren't gonna die."
"You don't know that Cherry Bomb," he whines into my chest.
"You do you realize that I like you, right? And how'd you get so good at making me like you?"
"Sorry to ruin your moment guys but Mikey just found a booby trap. RUN!" Brand says.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
