Chapter Eighty-Seven: Karl the Klown

Chapter 87

Karl the Klown

Celeste was in the kitchen on the island, gulping an energy drink and eating sausages, toast, and blueberry muffins.

Jaxon was in the shower. Unbeknownst to him, Alfonso García was spying on him and licking his lips. Jaxon scrubbed his body all over with the loofa, mindlessly humming.

Jaxon: “Oh, Green Queen! Don't be so obscene! I like the way you rise my peen!”

He sang in the shower, thinking of Celeste. Alfonso started wanking.

Alfonso: “Ay dios! No pares! Tienes un muy buen cuerpo!”

He moaned. Jaxon gasped and shut the shower off with a scream.

Jaxon: “WHAT THE FUCK?! GET OUT OF HERE, YOU CREEP!”

He rasped at him, throwing shampoo and conditioner bottles at his head. Alfonso laughed and ran out of there, past Celeste. She growled at him as he scurried past her.

Celeste: “What happened, Jaxon?!”

She rushed to him.

Jaxon: “YOUR CREEPY GRANDPERVE!”

He huffed. She caressed his arms and kissed him.

Celeste: “I will deal with him, handsome.”

She patted his arm and ran out of the bathroom to chase after him. He heard crashing, her grandfather laughing, and her yelling at him, until she walloped him. Jaxon smirked and laughed.

Jaxon: “Get him, Celeste!”

He cheered.

Celeste came back and threw her arms around him. Jaxon kissed her.

Celeste: “He’ll be out for a bit. Take your shower.”

She said and slapped his ass. Jaxon grinned at her and went back into the shower.

~

Jaxon came out dressed in a black button-up long-sleeved shirt that had a red dragon print on the front, black leather pants, and Chelsea boots. The buttons on his shirt were undone to expose his necklace and dragon tattoo.

Professor Stewart Murphy sat across from Celeste and squeezed his donut so the custard squirted on Stewart’s sweater.

Stewart: “O-Oh! Hello, Jaxon! You look lovely today!”

He flushed. Jaxon grinned.

Jaxon: “I do every day!”

Stewart: “You’re not wrong!”

He said breathlessly.

Celeste: “He’s here to give us a new mission!”

She said with a big grin. Stewart awkwardly grabbed napkins to wipe the custard off his sweater.

Jaxon: “Lay it on me! What’s the mish?”

He clapped his hands.

Stewart cleared his throat. He put on his glasses and read from the file.

Stewart: “Karl Butterbiscuit broke out of jail. He hasn’t been caught. He was a serial killer clown. The lead stated people have disappeared, and some suspect he is hiding out at Stinchey’s amusement park.”

Celeste: “Stinchey’s? Isn’t that place like fifteen miles out of here? And abandoned? Deimos told me his maid or nanny, Monica, would take him and Lazaros there when they were little kids.”

Stewart: “It has been abandoned for nearly twenty years.”

He nodded in confirmation.

Jaxon: “Ohh, we’re doing ‘clown horror movie’ today, huh? All right, let’s do this!”

He grinned eagerly.

Jaxon: “We get to star in our own horror movie, baby, isn’t that so facerock?!

He cooed at Celeste. She giggled and nodded.

Celeste: “Yeah, it is, babe!”

She kissed him and rose. He kissed her back.

Celeste: “You get your car ready, and I’ll get ready.”

She purred and tickled his neck.

Jaxon: “Hehehe! Let’s do this!”

He beamed.

~

Celeste was in Jaxon’s car with him as he drove. She had her catsuit on, and he had his leather jacket and Ray-Bans on. He was smoking, and she gazed out the window.

Jaxon: “You’re not scared of clowns, are ya?”

He asked. She glanced at him and shook her head.

Celeste: “No, are you?”

She placed her hand on his hand, holding the stick shift. Jaxon purred at her.

Jaxon: “No, I just HATE them.”

He huffed.

Celeste: “Yeah, I know how you feel…”

She said softly and pressed her lips to his neck. Jaxon shivered at her kisses, leaving a kiss mark on his skin, marking him as hers.

Jaxon: “Ah, my favorite tattoo.”

He remarked on her kiss on his neck in the rearview mirror. Celeste let out a peal of giggles. She bit her bottom lip and kissed his chest, leaving her lip prints. Jaxon shivered and giggled at her touch.

Jaxon: “And my favorite person!”

He added. She rubbed her cheek against him like a cat. Jaxon smiled at her and shivered.

Celeste: “And you’re mine.”

She purred.

~

Jaxon and Celeste arrived at Stinchey’s. He shut off the car and slid the key out of the ignition. They got out of the car and approached the chain-link fence with a big sign that said “Stinchey’s” on it. The paint was peeling off, and it looked as if it was ready to topple over. The entryway to the park was locked with a huge padlock. Jaxon held his hands in a square shape as if he were filming a movie.

Jaxon: “We open on a hot babe and her sexy boyfriend entering the scene!”

He laughed. She laughed and bit her bottom lip. She found this endearing. She brushed her hair behind her ear.

Celeste: “Can you climb that fence?”

She asked and nodded to it. Jaxon nodded.

Jaxon: “Yeah, but ladies’ first… I wanna watch your ass as you climb it.”

He smacked her ass. She let out a tiny moan and smirked at him, getting a good feeling in the most feminine part of her.

She jumped on the chain-link fence, climbing up. Jaxon flicked his gaze up at her and watched her ass cheeks move as she climbed. When she got on top, she jumped down and landed on the ground with the finesse of a cat. Jaxon grinned at her and gave her a thumbs-up. She grinned at him, showing her fangs. He stepped back and ran up to the fence, jumping on it and climbing up it. She bit her bottom lip as she observed him. Jaxon climbed down and jumped onto the ground. She clapped her hands and ran to him, throwing her arms around him.

Celeste: “Nice moves!”

She kissed him all over his face.

Jaxon: “My face is gonna be purple by the end of the night!”

He teased and laughed. Celeste laughed and rubbed her nose on his.

Celeste: “That a problem?”

She rested her hands at the nape of his neck.

Jaxon: “Not at all!”

He smiled at her and kissed her back.

She walked with him, venturing through the abandoned carnival grounds. She held his arm and leaned into him. There were empty carnival games and a roller coaster with a rusty and creepy-looking clown or caterpillar head. The Ferris wheel was still there, but it was rusty and looked as if it would break. They walked past the empty, decrepit canteens, where several large rats scurried in front of their path. Jaxon held his hands out in a square again.

Jaxon: “Any minute now… there will be a jumpscare!”

He laughed, swaying against her. She laughed and leaned against his shoulder.

Celeste: “You’re so adorable… and sexy…”

She purred. Jaxon’s cheeks blushed, and he kissed her. She kissed him back. Several more rats ran in front of them. She drew her feet back and winced. Jaxon shuddered with disgust.

Jaxon: “Come on, baby, you’re a CAT, these are just rats!”

He teased. Celeste giggled.

Celeste: “But they’re so huge!”

She pressed her finger on his nose.

Jaxon: “What is huge? Your boobs?!”

He teased. She snorted and playfully hit him.

Celeste: “And you’re blushing.”

She said softly. Jaxon poked his tongue out at her.

Jaxon: “How can I not with you?”

She shivered and bit her bottom lip.

Celeste: “You’re adorable…”

She whispered. Jaxon chuckled.

Jaxon: “Not as adorable as YOU!”

He poked her belly button.

Celeste: “AahahahahahaHAHAHAHA!”

She laughed and drew back.

Then they saw the giant clown head with its mouth open to the entrance, with “funhouse” on top of it.

Celeste: “So is this the part where I cling to you to protect me?”

She teased and smirked. Jaxon grinned at her.

Jaxon: “Mhmm, scream for me, baby!”

He draped his arm around her and held her close to him. She nodded. She threw her head back and screamed as she clung to him.

Celeste: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Jaxon snickered and held her close.

Jaxon: “Don’t be scared! I’m here, baby!”

He whispered in her ear and licked it. She shivered all over when he licked her ear.

Celeste: “Oh, Jaxon, protect me.”

She moaned, running her finger over his sword earring and lightly tickling his ear. Jaxon shivered.

Jaxon: “Do you wanna be one of those hot couples in horror movies who fuck?”

He laughed. Celeste bit her bottom lip.

Celeste: “Tempting, but there could be a serial killer somewhere around here.”

She said as she took his arm and led him into the funhouse. There was dirt and debris all over the floor, and some creepy dolls around. The painting was peeling off, and there was graffiti on the walls.

Jaxon: “Yeah, we’re hot, but we’re not stupid.”

He laughed.

They entered a room with red walls and checked floors. There were creepy displays behind glass cases. A skeleton reached out and grabbed her boobs. Celeste gasped and jumped back into Jaxon’s arms. Jaxon smacked the skeleton’s hand.

Jaxon: “FUCK OFF!”

Celeste reddened and bit her bottom lip. She loved this feeling and didn’t know what it was, but it made her feel good. She clung to his arm and gazed at him lovingly. Jaxon held her close to him and smiled down at her.

They ventured further down and entered a room of mirrors. She froze in her tracks when she smelled the air and smelled blood. She looked at herself and Jaxon in the mirror.

Jaxon: “Damn, check out those sexy people!”

He grinned. She giggled, and her smile faded when she saw a corpulent figure standing behind them. Jaxon turned around to see where she was looking.

The figure was tall and fat. He wore overalls and had clown make-up on with a big red nose. He raised his axe.

Jaxon: “Oh fuck, THERE HE IS!”

He gasped. Celeste grabbed Jaxon and jumped out of the way as the clown rammed his ax into the mirrors, smashing them.

Jaxon: “SHIT!”

He covered his ears, not used to his sensitive hearing. Celeste and Jaxon slid onto the floor as shards of glass slid toward them. Jaxon rolled over and shielded Celeste as shards of glass flew everywhere. The clown raised his ax at them. Celeste grabbed a steel bar, shoving it in front of him as he rammed the ax on it and pushed her. She lifted her foot on the bar, shoved him off, and he rammed into the wall.

Karl grabbed shards of glass, throwing it at them and slicing them all over, creating tiny cuts on their skin. Jaxon winced as he was slashed with glass and shifted his gaze over to Celeste.

Celeste: “ARGH! FUCK!”

He grabbed Celeste by her neck and threw her right into the mirrors, where she crashed and fell onto the floor with shards of mirror on her.

Jaxon: “NOOO, CELESTE!”

He rasped, rushing over to her and placing his hands all over her to heal her. Celeste breathed a sigh of relief.

Karl turned to Jaxon, his lips spreading to show his crooked, yellowish brown teeth.

Karl: “My, aren’t you pretty?”

He grabbed his wrists and pinned him against the wall.

Jaxon: “N-no No! ARRGH!”

He rasped. Celeste rose and growled at Karl.

Celeste: “GET OFF HIM!”

She bellowed. Karl grabbed Jaxon’s wrists in one hand. Using his free hand, he whipped out a shotgun loaded with rock salt and shot her in the chest. Celeste had the wind knocked out of her as the blast hit her.

Jaxon: “N-NO, CELESTE!”

He rasped, spitting in Karl’s face and kicking him. Karl licked the spit off his face and grinned at Jaxon. He dragged him away to another room. Celeste lay there and brushed the rock salt off her bulletproof catsuit. She bared her teeth and ran to get Jaxon.

~

Karl had Jaxon in another room with a bunch of corpses, his wrists tied above his head. A cockroach crawled on Jaxon’s leg. Jaxon shuddered and squirmed, trembling with fear at it.

Karl: “My, my, aren’t you so pretty?”

He caressed his face.

Jaxon: “I-I know! Leave me alone!”

He snapped. He caressed his face with his knife and lowered it down to his neck and chest. Cockroaches crawled over his legs. Karl took one and placed it on his chest. Jaxon turned away and shrieked.

Jaxon: “N-NOOOO! GET IT OFF ME!”

He yelped.

Karl: “I can smell fear, and you’re so much prettier when you’re scared.”

He licked his lips.

Jaxon: “EWWW! GET AWAY FROM ME!”

He cried out. Karl cupped his face and licked it as a cockroach trailed up Jaxon’s neck and on his face.

Jaxon: “ARGHH! EWWW! NOOO! FUCKING GROSS!”

He shuddered in horror and disgust.

The door broke down. Celeste barged in, lunged at Karl, and sank her teeth into his neck. Karl roared and violently tried to shake her off. She ripped out his flesh with her teeth and delivered a kick that sent him crashing through a wall. Jaxon watched her savagely tear him apart like a lioness.

Jaxon: “Nice…”

He beamed. She stood there panting and rushed to Jaxon to untie him. She wrapped her arms around him.

Celeste: “Are you okay?!”

Jaxon: “I sure am now that you’re here!”

He kissed her. She kissed him back.

Karl grabbed her and threw her off him. He grabbed Jaxon’s wrists and slammed him on the floor, hovering over him, brandishing a knife.

Karl: “I always loved filleting pretty ones like you…”

He chuckled.

Jaxon: “NOO! CELESTE!”

Celeste saw red seeing the man she loved in this predicament. She had to act quickly. She charged after him, grabbed his arm holding the knife, and twisted it back. Karl screamed in pain. Celeste then rammed her fist into him so hard that her fist came through his mouth. Choking and burbling came out of him as the blood spilled on the floor. His eyes rolled back into his head as he twitched all over. Celeste pulled her arm out, dropping his corpse to the floor. The pool of blood spread to her boots. She flicked the blood from her hand. Jaxon panted.

Jaxon: “Holy shit!”

He pulled her into a hug and emitted a red glow from his hands as he healed her in his embrace. Celeste tingled as the pain left her body and her wounds healed. She held him back.

Celeste: “Are you okay, handsome?”

She rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Jaxon: “Are you okay, beautiful?!”

He held her in his arms, stroking her verdant tresses. Celeste purred.

Celeste: “Of course! I saved you! I would do anything for you!”

She confessed and kissed him.

Jaxon: “I’d do anything for you, too!”

He kissed her back.

Celeste: “Let’s get out of here.”

She nodded to the exit. Jaxon lifted her in his arms and carried her out. Celeste loved that he did that. She held him close as he carried her out.

~

When they arrived back home and were watching TV on the new TV Noah got them, Celeste was in an oversized button-up white shirt. She was clutching her belly. Jaxon flicked his gaze to her.

Jaxon: “What’s wrong, babe?”

He leaned close to her. She wrapped her arms around him.

Celeste: “I started my period just now. I’m in a lot of pain. I took an Advil, but it won’t take effect for a half-hour. Anyway, it means we can’t fuck for six or seven days.”

She replied and looked up at him with dewy eyes. Jaxon knit his eyebrows.

Jaxon: “Oh, fuck that!”

He rubbed her tummy, and suddenly, without thinking, a red glow emitted from his hands, healing her pain away. Celeste raised her eyebrows as the pain left her body.

Celeste: “Oh, wow, Jax! I feel like a million silver now! Thank you!”

She kissed him all over.

Jaxon: “You’re always a million silver!”

He kissed her back. She blushed and lay on his chest.

She heard two men outside speaking to a squeaky girl. She recognized the men as Tristan and Deimos.

~

Tristan and Deimos stood outside of Celeste and Jaxon’s house. Deimos was in his karate gi, and Tristan wore a black turtleneck sweater, gray pants, and black wingtip Oxfords. They were stopped by Vanessa, who showed them a platinum ring she received. It had a pink heart-shaped diamond on the ring.

Vanessa: “And Hiroto gave this to me! I think he’s proposing to me!”

She squealed. Deimos gaped at her. Tristan laughed uncomfortably. Jaxon froze when he heard her squeak his father’s name.

Tristan: “Ah, I wonder what his wife thinks of this.”

He said wryly.

Vanessa: “I think he’s going to divorce her! Would you do that, Tristan?”

Tristan shifted his eyes and looked away. Deimos rolled his eyes. Jaxon laughed at her.

Tristan: “Ah, sorry, I don’t deal with family law.”

He rubbed the back of his head.

Celeste opened the door and smiled. Jaxon came out with her and gaped at Vanessa.

Celeste: “Hey, T and D!”

She waved at them.

Vanessa: “Look at the ring Hiroto gave to me!”

She showed Celeste the ring. Celeste looked at it. Jaxon glared at it.

Celeste: “It’s a heart!”

She stated.

Vanessa: “Is that all?!”

She cried. Celeste paused.

Celeste: “I don’t know what else to say? This is just… weird.”

She declared. Tristan looked away. Tell me about it, he thought. Noah was near the door listening.

Jaxon: “He’s NOT going to marry you, stupid girl!”

He laughed bitterly.

Vanessa: “Then WHY did he give me this ring?!”

She held up her hand.

Celeste: “I guess to shower you with expensive gifts. Possibly to shut you up, but you’re here telling us about it.”

She drawled.

Jaxon: “ ‘Cause you’re his sugar baby and he’s your sugar daddy.”

He huffed.

Tristan gazed at her.

Tristan: “Vanessa, is Hiroto… very good in bed? And your first?”

He asked her. Vanessa turned to him, blushing, and nodded.

Vanessa: “Yes to both! I LOVE older men! When I met Jaxon, I went to him so he would get me his father and didn’t!”

Tristan nodded. Jaxon groaned.

Tristan: “Why did you lie on Whitney’s show and to me during the mediation?”

He asked coolly, folded his arms behind him, and leaned over. Jaxon glared at her.

Jaxon: “‘Cause she’s a dumbass.”

He pouted bitterly.

Tristan: “Did someone pressure you to go on her show and lie?”

Vanessa froze. Deimos raised an eyebrow.

Tristan: “...Was that someone Robin?”

Vanessa drew back and embraced herself. Jaxon’s eyebrows rose, looking over at Vanessa.

Vanessa: “She said she would get me Hiroto if I did it!”

She blurted. Noah listened in and raised an eyebrow.

Jaxon: “FUCKING HYPNO-BITCH!”

He rasped. Vanessa’s bottom lip trembled.

Vanessa: “NO! ROBIN HAS BEEN KIND TO ME! SHE FOUND ME MY TRUE LOVE!”

She bawled. Jaxon glared at her.

Jaxon: “FUCK OFF! SHE TRIED TO KILL MY TRUE LOVE!”

He fired back at her, wrapping his arm around Celeste protectively. Celeste looked at Jaxon and smiled. She wrapped her arms around him. Vanessa sank to the ground sobbing.

Vanessa: “Unlike Ivy, she cares about me! Ivy is MEAN! Ivy doesn’t understand true love! She wants to kick me out, but Hiroto will take care of me if Ivy does that!”

She sobbed. Jaxon scoffed and laughed in her face.

Jaxon: “No, he won’t. He’s NOT leaving my mom, idiot!”

Tristan: “I hate to be the bearer of bad new,s but Robin does not care about you. She used you as a pawn to further her goals.”

He removed his glasses and used a handkerchief to clean them.

Vanessa: “IVY IS IN LOVE WITH YOU, TRISTAN!”

She blurted. Tristan paused and put his glasses back on. Vanessa sobbed and embraced herself. Deimos gaped at her.

Tristan: “...What does this have to do with anything?”

Vanessa: “I saw her making that face she does when she sees your pictures! She is using my cousin! I love Hiroto! She doesn’t love Blair! She wants his money! She wants you!”

She wailed. Deimos gazed at her and drew a long breath. Celeste blinked. Tristan heaved a deep sigh.

Jaxon: “Yeah, yeah, I don’t care for these NPCs, what’s this got to do with me?! You RUINED my reputation and fucked my dad!”

He waved his hands and laughed.

Vanessa: “Why do you care?! You’re not a little boy anymore, and your father can find someone else, and he has!”

She snapped.

Tristan: “You STILL ruined Jaxon’s reputation for her! You will fix this, Vanessa, or I will, and if I do, everyone will have a bad time! You already pissed me off enough with your foolishness! As for Ivy, I don’t care much! She doesn’t love me; she loves the image she projects on me, which is some generic hero from a Hallmark movie!”

He snapped at her. Deimos nodded in agreement. Jaxon folded his arms across his chest, glaring at her, and nodded.

Jaxon: “Yeah! What he said!”

He huffed.

Tristan: “I cannot control what Ivy feels, but I can do something about this other thing and will if need be.”

He smirked.

Tristan: “Look, you got your ‘true love’ right? You don’t owe Robin anything, but I think it would mean so much to Hiroto if you made this right.”

He tilted his head.

Vanessa: “Shut up, Tristan! He doesn’t care about Jiro! Your tricks won’t work!”

She shook her forefinger at him. Tristan glared at her.

Jaxon: “He doesn’t give a shit about YOU either!”

He laughed in her face.

Vanessa: “How do you know?!”

She asked Jaxon.

Jaxon: “Because he’s my FATHER and I KNOW him?!”

He scoffed and laughed.

Jaxon: “He only cares about what he can get from you. Wait until you age. He’ll drop you and trade you in for a younger model, all the while acting his perfect marriage facade with my mother, while you’re his dirty little secret.”

He added.

Celeste: “He’s got you there, Vanessa.”

She shrugged. Jaxon nodded and glowered at Vanessa.

Vanessa: “You don’t know that! You’re all like Ivy! She is just as MEAN to me about this! Anyway, Ichiro is giving a speech for his ‘Doctor Dynamo’ award, and I am going with Blair, Uncle Demetrio, and Sylvia. Since I will be yours and his step-mom, I need to get to know my step-sons.”

She said flippantly.

Celeste: “Okay, this is getting weird.”

She laughed awkwardly. Jaxon gaped at Vanessa and rolled his head back with bitter cackling.

Jaxon: “Holy shit, you should go into comedy!”

He clapped at her condescendingly.

Vanessa: “DON’T LAUGH AT ME! WHAT I HAVE IS TRUE LOVE! And you shouldn’t talk that way to your step-mother!”

Tristan looked away to cover his mouth and laugh. Is she joking now? He wondered.

Jaxon: “Holy shit! This bitch is de-lu-lu!”

He laughed at her.

Blair rushed up to Vanessa.

Blair: “I was looking all over for you! And you’re talking to THESE THINGS?!”

He fielded toward Jaxon, Celeste, Deimos, and Tristan.

Jaxon: “Oh, here comes the NPC.”

Deimos: “She wanted to show us her engagement ring.”

He said dryly.

Deimos: “And get to know her stepson.”

He added sarcastically.

Blair: “Oh, bag it, Deimos! I am SO sick of your wiseass remarks! Jiro is not her stepson! You don’t have to be a wisecracking smartass!”

He snapped.

Deimos: “Okay, you don’t have to go on a tangent, Blair. I already know this. Sorry, you can’t pick up on sarcasm.”

He said dryly. Tristan laughed.

Jaxon: “Wow, such a nice boy you are.”

He said to Blair.

Blair: “Well, you’re not! None of you are! ESPECIALLY NOT HER!”

He pointed to Celeste. Jaxon glared at him.

Jaxon: “The fuck you mean about my Green queen, blue-hair bitch?!”

He snapped at him, stepping forward. Blair glared at him.

Blair: “She’s a monster who doesn’t love anything and kills people! And she can’t pay attention to a conversation! She zones out and says rando,m stupid stuff!”

He snapped at her. Celeste bowed her head and glared at him. Jaxon gasped at him.

Celeste: “I saved you and Ash from that thing! And you snapped at me!”

She barked.

Jaxon: “She’s NOT a fucking monster and she loves me! She didn’t love you because you’re a boring little bitch! Wow, making fun of ADHD?! Such a nice boy you are!”

He snapped at him. Celeste embraced herself.

Blair: “You and Jiro can take your ritalin, Celeste! I came to get Vanessa away from you. It’s bad enough that Tristan hurt Ivy.”

He huffed. Tristan and Deimos glowered at Blair. Celeste drew back at the ritalin remark. She looked away as tears welled in her eyes. Jaxon flared at Blair, stepping in front of Celeste.

Jaxon: “You can take your stupid bitch pills! SHUT YOUR NPC FACE UP!”

Jaxon marched forward, baring his teeth at Blair, delivering a punch to his face, sending him to the lawn. Blair crashed on the lawn with a bloody nose. Celeste cupped her mouth and looked at Jaxon with stars in her eyes. Deimos gaped at Blair, and Tristan smirked. Blair angrily rose to Jaxon with tears in his eyes.

Blair: “You will be sorry for this, Jiro!”

He said as he took Vanessa’s hand and led them away.

Jaxon: “I’m not sorry at all. Bring it on, li’l NPC bitch boy!”

He laughed at him. Celeste wrapped her arms around Jaxon and kissed him.

Celeste: “Thanks, babe.”

She whispered.

Deimos gave him a nod of approval.

Deimos: “You did what most of us were itching to do.”

Jaxon: “Oh? Why didn’t anyone punch his stupid face before?”

Deimos: “I guess he didn’t push the right buttons for us.”

He shrugged.

Deimos: “Yet.”

Tristan: “He was asking for it. Simple Simon met a pie man.”

He said breathlessly. Deimos snorted.

Jaxon: “I can’t STAND that whiny bitch! He needs a kick in the ass!”

He huffed.

Tristan: “Yes, many agree with you, Jaxon.”

Jaxon: “How DARE he make my Green Queen cry!”

He rasped, holding her close to him. Celeste looked up at him and reddened. She rested her head on his chest, feeling warm and fuzzy in his embrace.

Celeste: “Thanks, Jax.”

She said softly, and they kissed.

Jaclyn was in a nearby bush listening on. So Ivy is desperately trying to get Vanessa kicked out, is she? I wonder why that would be, surely, she’s not onto her dirty little secret, she mused. Jaclyn noted that Vanessa was going to Ichiro’s speech. Surely, Ivy has something planned, and I am not going to miss it for the world, she thought with a smirk.
