VT - Kristina The Girl Who Became Sick part 5

*Later in the alley of Bumblyburg...*

Me: *ran down, sit down on the stool and sigh sadly* Oh, what am I gonna do? If Jerry thinks I had a crush on him like-- *coughing as I cover my mouth* Crazy, I'm afraid he won't like me anymore and he won't able to take care of-- *coughs again* Me. *suddenly, I see a purple Fib in his small, limbless form after it fell from outer space* Aah! *fell backward and landed on my back* Oof! 0< *sit up and saw a Fib* Who are you?

Fib: *from behind my leg and look at me* Oh, ah, hello. My name is Fibrillious Minimus, but you can call me Fib.

Me: Uh, hello. I'm Kristina. Are you alone? If so, I'll be your friend. <8( *coughing as I cover my mouth with a handkerchief*

Fib: My...friend? Well sure, of course! Fibs make very good friends.

Me: *picks the Fib up* You're right. *hugs him* Fibs like you wouldn't hurt anybody. ^^ *turn my head away from him and cough at the air, not on the Fib and turn back to him as I put him down* Pardon my cough, Fib. I guess I'm still not better a little. Anyway, I had a problem about why am I running away from the Gourd Brothers' house because I can't tell Jerry Gourd about my feelings after he took care of me dearly. If I did and tell him that I wanted to kiss him, I'm afraid he won't love me anymore and rejected me. D8> *sit down on the box and bury my face in my hands, sobbing* I can't go home now. I just can't go back to Jerry Gourd's house!

Fib: Oooh that sounds awful.

Me: *look at Fib with tears in my eyes* Oh Fib, what shall I do? I can't tell anybody that I'm still sick now a little. Can you help me?

Fib: But it's obvious what ya can do, right? Just tell him you don't like him -like that-. No awkwardness, no problem, right?

Me: I guess I'll try. *hears a footsteps* Oh no! Someone's coming! *turn to see the Fib hid behind the trash and then turn to see it was Archibald Asparagus approached me until I got startled* Aah! *fell backward off the box I'm sitting and fell on my head* Oww! *sit up and look up* Archie, what are you doing here?

Archie: Uh--I thought I heard voices. Were you speaking with someone? *leans over to help me up*

Fib: 8| *DOES SHAKING HEAD MOTIONS FROM BEHIND THE TRASH CAN*

Me: No, just me. I just change my voice because I'm a voice actress, remember? For training.

Archie: Oh, I...I see. Well, do you need someone to walk you back home? Aren't you still ill? You shouldn't be out of bed like this!

Me: I am completely better. It just that I got choked a little while voice acting in training.

Archie: You--

Me: *try to lie as I act worried* Before I got here this alley, I saw your daughter, Claire was kidnapped by a milk money bandit while I was running! D8>

Archie: WAIT, WHAT? 8(

Me: *ushers Archie by pushing him to get him out of my sight and pretend that I'm panicking* So get out and get LarryBoy for help! Hurry up! Run! I'll get the police for help! Quick! D8>

Archie: *quickly runs off* POLICE, HELP! HELP, THERE'S BEEN A KIDNAPPING! *continues running down the street and out of sight*

Me: *wiped the sweats from my forehead* Phew...*walk towards the trash can and notice Fib* Wow, Fib, you're so big! What happened to you?! D8

Fib: Eh? Nothin'! I'm the same size I always was. *hops out from behind the trash can. He doesn't have the feet yet, but he is a larger size than before*

Me: Whoa. So where do you want me to go?

Fib: That's your call, girly. Maybe you should go back to Jerry's place and tell him you don't have feelings for him.

Me: What?! But I can't! *fell to my knees and bury my face in my hands sadly* I can't go back to Jerry's house! He won't love and forgive me for life. I just can't go back! *look up at Fib sadly* Can I just go to somewhere else where no one will find me? I just want to run away and get out of Bumblyburg for life. D8>

Fib: Sheesh, really? Why would you wanna do THAT? Just tell him you don't love him! Things can go on being the same way they are now. Calm down, girlie.

Me: *nod sadly* Okay...*turn my head until I see Jimmy Gourd arrived and he is looking for me* Uh-oh! D8

Fib: ...drat! *he quickly hops behind a crate*

Jimmy: Kristina! There you are! Jerry and I have been looking over the whole city for you! *he hops over closer*

Me: Oh, Jimmy. There is something to tell you that's been happening. Ahem. *singing a lie to Jimmy* ♪ It's Jerry's lie, he lash out on me, he's a very mean jerk to me
Just how was I to know he hated me?
He broke me up and tell me to get out
It's Jerry's doing, he tell me to get out, it's true.
And that's the tale, I have to tell to you. ♪♪ *finished singing* Well, what do you think that I tell what Jerry did to me? He's good at acting enough to trick you. )8>

Jimmy: I don't believe it for a second! Jerry, he would never do such a thing! If he kicked you out, why would he be out looking for you too? >:\

Me: *became mad* I dunno! Maybe he had a change of heart. D8< *turn away from Jimmy and folded my arms* Hmph! )<

Jimmy: Uh...Kristina, hey, what's gotten into..?

*Then, Jerry Gourd arrived and found me*

Jerry: Kristina! *happily hops over*

Me: *turn at Jerry with my glare look* What do you want, Jerry? If you're here for me, just go away and leave me alone. >8( *turn away from Jerry and crossed my arms again* Hmph! >(

Jerry: What? Kristina, what are you acting like this?...

Jimmy: *frowns* She says you kicked her out.

Jerry: Huh? It's not true! ;_; I c-care about her dearly!

Me: *gasps as I blushed as I hear what he said about me, but quickly hides it and became angry at Jerry* But you didn't, Jerry Gourd! And to tell the truth, I had no feelings for YOU, Jerry Jerk Gourd so I'm not going back to your home now! D8<

Jerry: ...what?

Me: *storm off into the alley and sat down on the box as I cross my arms and glare down at my feet* )8<

Jerry: *stares after me, stricken* Kristina, I--

Jimmy: Oh, just leave her, bro. She's OBVIOUSLY ungrateful for everything we've done for her! *grabs Jerry and starts pulling him away*

Jerry: N-no, wait!; I...

Jimmy: *doesn't stop, but keeps pulling him away*

Me: *looking at Jerry who is being pulled away by Jimmy and then bury my face in my hands, sobbing*

*As soon as the gourds leave, I hear a thumping noise*

Fib: *is now much taller and has legs* Hey, don't cry! Ya did it! This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Me: Aah! *zipped away and hid myself under the leftover newspapers. Then, I peek my head out from under the newspapers* Fib, what happened to you? 0.0

Fib: Whaddya mean? I'm the same guy! I just uh...put on a little weight. *chuckles. His voice is deeper, too*

Me: What happened to your voice? Is that a sore throat or something?

Fib: Noooo no no no. Just...puberty. *nods* C'mon, chin up, Kristina.

Me: I can't chin up. I'm hurting too much. )'8> *picks up the leftover newspapers, put them on the pavement like a mat, lie down on it and put another newspaper on me like a blanket* What am I gonna do now, Fib, my new friend? I broke up with Jerry Gourd so badly and my romantic, heart-warming life is over. *found a ball next to my head, picks it up and toss it to the wall repeatedly while crying and it bounces back to my hand before hitting it to the wall again* I'll spend the rest of my life as a poor alley orphan girl. T_T *while repeatedly toss the ball to the wall, it bounces off the wall and it hit into my right eye* Yeow! oX

Fib: *chuckles under his breath as the ball hits me on the face*

Me: *the ball bounces away from my face as I rubbed my right eye* Ow...my right eye. *took my hand off my right eye and I am now had a black, bruised eye* Ooh...I got a right black eye now. >_0 *coughing suddenly again as I covered my mouth* Oh dear, I'm still sick. )8>

Fib: *then tries to pretend to look sad instead when I looks over*

Me: *turn to Fib* Fib, what shall I do now? What if Jerry sees me with my black, bruised eye? D8>

Fib: Aww, now don't be like dat. Don't you got a home to go back to? And besides, why would Jerry see you? I thought you told him to get lost.

Me: *rub my right, bruised, black eye* I did. Well, I'm really an orphan until I was adopted by a guardian who is my butler at my manor house ever since when I was 3 years old. His name is Bob the Tomato. He was like a father to me.

Fib: Well, then you can just go back to Bob's house if he...adopted you or something.

Me: Yes, but first this. *grab my bottom edge of my T-shirt to rip around in circle like I make my shirt short down to my bellybutton which is showing and then wrap this ripped piece of shirt around my head to cover my right bruised eye like a eye patch or bandage* There, my ripped piece of my T-shirt will cover my black eye. D8>

Fib: No problem--

Me: *then saw Mayor Blueberry hops past me before she notices me*

Fib: *hides as soon as he sees Madame Blueberry coming*

Me: Oh hi, Mayor Blueberry.

Mayor Blueberry: ...hm? *turns to look as I say hi* Oh! Kristina, oh my. Are you a pirate today?

Me: Uh...yes. Why did you ask?

Claire: *disguised herself as an old man with a white long beard, gray ragged shirt, gray beret with her brown hair hidden under it and a spiraled eyeglasses so nobody will recognize her and spy on us while she's at the building roof without being noticed*

Mayor Blueberry: Well, because you have a torn shirt and an eyepatch! Eet ees just like a pirate! *chuckles*

Me: Oh yeah. That. Today, Pa Grape asked me if I could join him and the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything so I'll be in the female lead pirate singer in Silly Songs with Larry. Trust me, it's gonna be a blast. ^^

Claire Asparagus: *still in the old man disguise, look to the right and saw something's happening to the Fib who is behind the trashcan from me and Mayor Blueberry*

Blueberry: Oh, my, zat sounds very interesting! I will look forward to seeing it.

Fib: *is hidden from everyone right now*

Claire: *in old man disguise, took out her binocular scope and use it to spy on me, Mayor Blueberry and Fib*

Me: Thanks. Why don't you go proceed to where you're going with your duty, okay? I understand that you don't want to be late for work as a mayor of Bumblyburg. *chuckles, but sniffing while feeling half hurtful*

Fib: *I can't see much of him from where you are at all, since he's ducked down behind a building. All you can see is the top of the antenna on his head*

Blueberry: Oh, you are right, Kristina. Forgive me, I need to be going. *humming, she hops off*

Me: *wave goodbye at the Mayor Blueberry* Goodbye, Mayor Blueberry. Have a nice work. ^^ *turn around* Now where could Fib be?

Claire: *in old man disguise, watching me and became worried about how injured, poor and sick I am with my ruffled hair that is now messed up before she look at the Fib grew bigger*

Fib: *is behind a big building so really all Claire can see is the top of his antenna, until she leaves and headed to Jimmy and Jerry Gourd's house. Then, he comes out, behind me. Smiling and huge, now* Right here. *reaches down to pick me up with his tiny hand*

Me: *gasps while backing away from the giant Fib* D8 *then being picked up* Aah! D> *grunting while trying to struggle out of his grasp* )> Mmm! Mmf!

Fib: Whatsa matter, Kristina, huh? Did you not expect your little fib to land ya in trouble? You won't have to live as an orphan girl after all. You won't have to live when I eat you! *laughs, and starts walking, crushing a car on the way*

Me: Jerry Gourd, help! D>

Fib: Why would he help you? You told him you didn't like him! Hahahaha! *keeps walking...heading out of town*
