What If - Chapter 3 Balloons

I can’t believe I’m about to do this! And to think I got myself talking into this by nutcase Ryan of all people! My life is officially going downhill.

‘Oi, Theo, are you done daydreaming yet? Come on man, we got a mission here!’ a tall boy shouted at his friend.

‘I still can’t believe I let you talk me into doing this! It’s going to be so embarrassing if it fails.’

‘Don’t worry about a thing! It’s foolproof! I even got the girls to check everything out and even they think nothing can go wrong!’

‘Still, do I have to wear this ridiculously embarrassing suit?!’ Theo pointed at the suit he was told to wear for tonight’s mission.

‘I look like an oversized Teletubby.’

‘They don’t come in pink and don’t worry; you don’t look stupid at all.’ Ryan was trying very hard to suppress his laughter.

‘I am going to kill you!!!’ Theo proceeded to strangling Ryan.

‘Oi! Cut it out! Target is approaching!’ a girl with jet black hair piped up all of a sudden.

‘Sandy, she has a name you know.’ An obvious hint of annoyance in Theo’s voice for Sandy referred her as a ‘target’.

‘Whatever T, just get out there and do everything we taught you!’

‘Easy for you guys to say, you’re not the one in this silly suit!’

‘Stop complaining and go! I can see them coming already!’

Sandy and Ryan pushed Theo out of their hiding place and the embarrassed Theo quickly put on the head. He lifted the head a little and turned around to see the two giving him thumbs up. Knowing there’s no escaping, Theo sighed and nodded and quickly took his place in Ryan’s so-called ‘super foolproof, nothing could possibly go wrong plan to confess to the girl of your dreams’.

‘Cecil, can you please tell me why you dragged me here when it’s almost closing time?’

‘You ask way too many questions. Just trust me, now come on.’

Jessica looked at Cecil with one brow raised but shrugged and followed her into the amusement park. Cecil chuckled at Jessica’s blur nature and quickly, took her to the rendezvous point.

‘Hey Jess, wait for a sec, I need to go er, powder my nose.’ Cecil said and quickly ran off in the opposite direction, leaving a very confused Jessica standing in front of the merry-go-round.

‘But the washroom is that way…’ Jessica saw the signboard that pointed in the other direction.

Meanwhile at the hiding spot…

‘hey guys, am I late?’

‘noe, right on time. Now, let’s sit back and enjoy the show.’

‘I feel bad for Theo though, that suit is seriously very silly’

Back at Jessica…

‘Where is that girl!’ Jessica had been pacing for a good 10minutes now and Cecil is nowhere to be seen. Jessica fished out her phone and dialed her number.

“the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please..”

Jessica disconnected the call when the merry-go-round started operating all of a sudden.

‘What in the world?’ Jessica’s eyes widen when she saw a bear jumped off the ride and started wiggling its body, dancing to some imaginative music.

Jessica laughed at the scene before her, not only was the bear’s action silly, but the head was on backwards. Silly bear

The bear continued its silly dance, having both arms in front of it, fisted, moved them with its body together in a spinning movement. The bear spun for a while until it got dizzy and stared shuffling.

‘Hahahaha!! Yah, what are you doing?!’ Jessica slowly approached the dancing bear and was about to grab the head but the bear dodged it before she could.

After moving a few steps back, the bear finally stopped dancing, slid the head front and center and signaled to her to stop advancing further. It then went back to the merry-go-round and brought out a bouquet and gave them to her.

Surprised, Jessica was reluctant to accept them but did it anyway because the bear was being adamant.

At the hiding spot…

‘That’s not part of the plan!! Flowers are supposed to come later!’ Ryan complained.

‘Shut up!’ Sandy and Cecil said instantaneously.

At the merry-go-round…

The bear pointed at itself with its thumbs, shaking its butt and body left and right repeatedly, then made a heart above its head, still shaking, then pointed at her.

Jessica smirked. I see.. she smiled and took a deep breath.

‘Theo, you don’t have to do this you know.’

The bear immediately stopped, frozen at its spot.

‘Now, be a good bear and take off the head and tell me properly.’ Jessica said flatly while trying to control her laughter.

‘Yes, Sergeant.’ Such a sergeant. The head was removed, revealing a nervously smiling Theo.

‘You were saying…’

‘er..like I was trying to say just now…’ he gulped before continuing, obviously nervous and also struggling to find the correct words.

‘…I really, really like you and will you be my girlfriend?’

At the hiding spot…

‘What?!! The head wasn’t supposed to come off yet!’

‘Oh enough about it Ryan, at least things went well.’ Cecil pointed at the two.

Ryan and Sandy turned their attention to Theo and Jessica and saw them walking away, arms linked.

‘You were saying about your foolproof plan?’

‘It’s not my fault he didn’t stick to it. I’m pretty sure things would’ve still turned out well if EVERYTHING went according to plan.’ Ryan emphasized on everything.

‘Stop bickering and let’s pack up and go. Mission accomplished troops! Now let’s go eat, I’m starving.’

And the three went off to eat.

***

‘hahahahahaha!! So the bear suit and dancing was Ryan’s idea of a foolproof confession?’ Jessica burst laughing after Theo told her about the whole thing.

‘I improvised a lot ok!’

‘I’m glad you did.’

Tbc.
