《Fireflys》Chapter 16

"Anne?!" I asked, running up to her and catching her as she fell.
She had a big bloody scratch on her arm, and some scrapes on her legs.
Crap...well, this night became eventful...
I pick her up, and quickly head back to the house.
We got inside, and Hop Pop was sitting on the couch sleeping.
"Hop Pop!" I said, trying to wake him up.
He moved slightly and opened his eyes.
"Huh?" He asked.
I brought Anne over to him and laid her down on the couch.
"H-Hop Pop, we were eating; a-and then hedgehogs came out, and..I did nothing! I...I didn't help her at all..." I cried out.
Hop Pop stood up and ran out of the room. He came back in moments later with some towels and first aide.
"Sprig..you didn't do nothing. You carried her here, didn't you?" He said, placing a towel over the gash and making my hands apply pressure on it, "and it's not like you knew this would happen..."
Hop Pop and I cleaned up Anne, and once I got the bandage on her arm, Hop Pop went to bed. But I couldn't sleep..I had guilt in my gut.
Why did that have to happen?
If I didn't have feeling for her, then it wouldn't have happened...
I throw myself back against the living room floor.
"It was just like in my dream..." I sighed, remembering back to when the hedgehogs attacked.
I heard a groan and looked over at the couch. Anne was sitting up.
"Also like my dream.." she chuckled, "I think our dreams were connected."
"Really?" I asked, also sitting up.
She nodded and felt the bandage over her cut, "I'll tell you one thing, hedgehogs back on Earth? Not as terrifying." She laughed.

I stood up and walked over to her, sitting down on the couch, "Look Anne...I'm sorry for what happened...t-that you got hurt-"
She put her hand on mine, "Sprig, it's alright. It's not like you planned for that."
She squeezed my hand, "and for the record? That was a really sweet thing you did for me.."
I felt my face heat up, "y-yeah?" I chuckled.
A few moments of silence went by. She leaned back into the couch some more.
"So, what were you going to tell me?" She asked.
"Huh?" I questioned.
"Back in the woods. Before the killer hedgehogs came out." She chuckled softly.
O-oh yeah..
"W-well..I-I um...you see...uh...."
"I-I was going to tell you..that...um...I..l-like-" he stuttered nervously.
Hehehe...adorable..
I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"I like you too." I whispered in his ear, sitting back up.
He stayed as still as a brick, and his whole face turned red.
I began to chuckle hysterically.
"W-Wha- you do?!" He asked, sitting up nervously.
I nod, calming down on my chuckling, "Yeah.."
"YESSSSS" I hear someone whisper. I look over towards the stairs, and see Polly and Hop Pop hiding on the steps.
"You can come out of hiding." I laugh.
"Oh...cover blown.." Polly chuckled.
Hop Pop and Polly came down the stairs, jumping onto the couch on either side of us.
"Finally! I was getting ready to lock you in a room together!" Polly laughed.

The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.
