《Blushie // The Goonies》Chapter 1
Advertisement
I looked at the house as we pulled up. I hadn't been here since I was 11 and me, Mouth, Data, Mikey, and Chunk were all just little kids. I'm 5"1" now with long dark brown hair that is blonde at he ends. My hazel eyes are easy to tell out from a mile away and my dark tan skin makes my frail body glow. I'm very skinny I don't try to be it's just how it is. I swear it has to be midnight by now but then I saw Mouth walk out the screen door. I opened the door and grabbed my bags. The taxi drove. off after I paid and Mouth pulled me into a hug.
"C'mon we set up a big room for you in the attic"
He said. I nodded and we took my bags up to a big room. It had light blue walls and a black wooden floor. A white bed spread with grey and black skyscrapers on it representing NYC. Blue and black throw pillows were thrown above as a fake black treasure chest sat at the foot of the bed filled with extra blankets. I smiled at Mouth and he left my bags. I unpacked then went to bed. I just put on black leggings and a red crop top and pulled my hair back into a ponytail. I fell asleep wondering if the guys would even remember me but I would find out soon enough. I woke up to someone pounding on my door. I opened it to see Mouth.
"What's up?"
I asked.
"Breakfast"
He stated grabbing my wrist and dragging me downstairs. I was still in my pajamas and I slept in my contacts by accident so my vision was all messed up.
"Mouth. Mouth! I can walk by myself"
I said. I let go and started rubbing my eyes. Once I opened my eyes I saw everyone sitting in front of me.
"God she is pretty!"
Chunk exclaimed. Then blushed when he realized he said it out loud. I smiled and walked over to my uncle and aunt giving them a hug. I then turned to the boys.
"Hi Je-ss"
Data managed to say. I smiled at him and turned a light pink. I always blushed at anything anyone said or did. The boys laughed. I started blushing more.
"Well don't sit there come give me a hug"
I said. The boys laughed and got up tackling me. I turned to Brand he was like my big brother and I knew he was mad when I moved. I walked over to him.

"Hi brand"
I said hugging him. He let in and pulled me in tight. I turned to Mikey. I studied his face. He was so handsome now. My aunt fake cleared her throat. I looked at her and she gestured at my shirt. I guess it wasn't appropriate enough for her. I laughed and walked up stairs. I grabbed some dark wash skinny jeans and a red sweater. I threw them on then did my makeup and brushed my hair. I walked downstairs to see the boys in the living room.
"Hey Blushie come over here"
Chunk said. I guess they chose a new nickname for me. I walked over and sat beside Mikey. Mikey was really cute.
"Guys we should go to my place"
Mikey said. We all agreed and ran out the door. I realized I didn't have a bike.
"Oh Blushie don't worry we got you a bike"
Mouth said pulling a light blue bike with white handle bars me a white seat out of under the porch. I smiled and thanked him. We rode to Mikey's. We saw a giant group by the store so we decided to stop. We got stuck in the crowd being pushed around and around trying to figure out what was happening. Mikey grabbed my hand causing me to blush of course as he pulled me through the crowd. Some one knocked him to the ground and he pulled me on top off him. Mikey pulled out his inhaler taking a whiff without loosing my eye contact. I smiled at him as he finally realized I was on him. I got up and brushed myself off.
"Sorry"
He mumbled. I gave him a hug.
"I have missed you"
I said. He smiled at me. We were 16 now and I missed atleast 5 years of his whole entire life and I didn't realize until now how handsome he was. I was short for a 16 year old and he just had to easily be 5"10" but he was still the cutest thing. I remembered getting letters from them all when they had there big adventure and saved there homes. Mikey grabbed my hand and pulled me through the crowd more. We finally reached to see the crowd fussing over the news. The Frattellis had managed to break out of jail and were on the loose again. Mikey's expression dropped with fear. We ran out of the crowd more like him dragging me out of he crowd. We saw Brand, Mouth, and Data standing by there bikes looking at a piece of paper.

"Where is Chunk"
Mikey asked frantically. Brand looked up at a black jeep speeding off in the distance.
"Shit"
Mikey whispered to himself. I knew from there letters this would not be good. Brand unfolded the piece of paper.
"If you want fat boy back meet us at the abandoned light house and you can pay up"
It read and signed the Frattellis.
"How the hell could this happen we get mixed in just again how the hell could this place be so dangerous"
Mouth started. We all hopped on our bikes and headed for the light house. We opened the creaky door and I immediately went to Brand and Mikey for safety. I held Brands arm as he led us through the door and Mikey's fingers interlocked with my free hand. Mouth was holding my shoulders and Data was holding Mikey's as we slowly entered the old light house. We heard the floor boards creak beneath us as it was to quiet for anyone to be here. Then the door slammed behind us and a light turned on revealing Chunk tied to a chair and the Frattellis standing before us. Mama Frattelli looked at me. She walked over and grabbed my arm tightly walking me back over to where she was standing.
"Well looks here a new and I have to admit very pretty Goonie girl, who does this girl belong too"
She asked pretending to brush my hair lightly out of my face.
"Please don't hurt her"
Mikey begged.
"Well I guess that answers that question. Don't worry I will just use her to get what I want"
She said pulling out her gun. I stiffened. She ran it across my cheek.
"It would be a shame for a pretty girl like her to die right here and right now wouldn't it"
She said.
"Please let her go"
Mouth begged.
"You boys listen here"
She snapped pushing the gun right by my left eye aiming right for my brain.
"We want payback"
She said.
"No"
The boys all said. She kicked my ankle and I heard a pop. I fumbled to the floor. Mikey ran to me.
"I'm so sorry"
He said as he pushed my hair behind my ears. He picked me up bridal style.
"The deal is you return back here in three days with Sloth"
She said. I saw Chunk start crying. I hadn't met Sloth yet but I knew Chunk loved him. Sloth had been living in the restaurant were they had found him was all I knew.
"We will give you fat ass over there and return here in three days time or we will find you and throw you off the very tippy top of this damn light house"
She said. We all nodded as she untied Chunk. We all ran out and I gave Chunk my bike and sat on Mikey's handle bars. We rode all the way to the restaurant. Chunk started crying and I gave him a hug. Andy and Stef were now with us I don't know how that happened. We walked in and there was no one to be seen. We went down to the basement and the room was a mess there was a picture frame smashed all over the floor and the coffee table lost all of it's legs. The fireplace stones were broken up and the logs were all the way on he other side of the room revealing a small hole. Chunk looked at all of us.
"Oh no"
He said. They all started crowding around the hole.
"He went to go looking for the extra treasure again"
Mikey finished. They saw my confused expression.
"About a year after we traveled the tunnels here looking for One Eyed Willies treasure. We were moving Sloth in here because there was no more room in Chunks house. He got mad and started running into things and hiding. While he was hiding in a closet he found another map to a hidden tunnel where Willie had his extra treasure just in case. We told him he couldn't go and we took the map and his it behind him and Chunks picture in his picture fram. He must of found it"
He said looking at the broken picture frame that laid on the ground. They all started filing down so I did too. I couldn't see anything so I clung to Mikey.
"Hey"
He whispered stopping me.
"When you left all of the boys were super sad. Even me I had the biggest crush on you. I know his is a little late and it was years ago but seeing you all grown up and so beautiful and knowing you with the Goonies again it just makes-"
I cut him off by kissing his cheek. He didn't say anything more and I had a giant smile on my face knowing he was in shock. I could just picture his face all red and a little sly grin spread right across it as he replayed what happened in his mind. I dragged him along to catch up with he others.
