Nash: ... Sister dear, what happened here?
Abril: *turns and glares at the three of them, and jabs a finger at Rhythm* HIM! ... *tries to fight back the tears, but fails* I'm going to my room! *storms off and slams her door*
Nash: ... Rhythm, lad. I know you feel bad. I bare you no blister, but I can't speak for my sister. Here's some ice-cream, ease your troubles. I'll go up to her soon and ease this bubble. *places a reassuring hand on Rhythm, and gives a sympathetic look to Serenity* I apologize sincerely for all of this drama... I must regulate messages back and forth... *chuckles slightly* ...I feel like the Dali Llama.
-MEANWHILE-
Abril: *slams door; slumps; walks to balcony, opens it, and just kneels in the middle, looking out* ... Why? Why did I do that? ... ... ...
*ivies rustle under balcony*
Abril: ....huh?
*Two large figures loom over the edge, one that looks like a weird, large centipede and another a large dinosaur*
Gore [the Albino Dinosaur]: ..... ABRRY! *runs to her and gives her a giant, squeezy, cuddle/hug*
Abril: ... *strangled voice* Hey Gore...
Eppie [the large centipede/girl]: Goodness gracious, Gore! Don't strangle the poor mistress!
Abril: *slithers away from Gore's grasp* Hey there, Eppie. Is Boxy here?
Boxy: *emerges from behind Eppie and nods*
Abril: *smiles* What are you doing back so soon? I thought there was still a month left in the vacation Nash forced you to go on.
Eppie: *scoffs* I know, I know! But I missed not doing anything for you guys! The weather got sour halfway through and I couldn't help it knowing there would be chores here to be done! And Gore got homesick and I couldn't do any housework and Boxy almost got in trouble with the police..... And I missed not DOING ANYTHING! *her six arms grab at Abril and shakes her violently* I ... MISS ... WORKING!
Abril: *in-between shakes* Epp-...--ie-...you...are...the...most...work-...-a-...-hol-...-ic-...crea-...-ture...I...know!
Eppie: I know! I know! I- *gasp* **stops shaking; sees the large red spot on Abril's cheek* Oh dear! What's this?
Abril: *places hand over cheek; starts to scowl*
Eppie: What did Chester do now?
Abril: It wasn't him...
Eppie: Nash?
Abril: ... No.
Eppie: Who then?!
Abril: It's the new prince. The younger brother to the princess Nash is going to marry.
Eppie: ... well THIS IS A FINE TIME to come back from vacation! Nash is getting married and you didn't TELL ME?
Abril: ... well, we aren't 100 percent sure if it will go through. You know those last marriages didn't go through, with those air-headed ditzes dumping him because of his rhyming problem... We didn't want to announce it just yet!
Eppie: ...well, that IS true....but what's THIS about *points again to the red spot*
Abril: ... tennis.
Eppie: Ah. Gotcha. *chuckles* So he accidentally 'zinged' you one right in the kisser, did he?
Abril: ... On purpose! *scowls once again*
Eppie: *still chuckling* Oh, c'mon, honey. People don't usually do things like that. *gives a mischievous grin* And even if he DID, what makes you think you might not have deserved it?
Abril: *blushes and gets defensive* ..It's just- it's just...! He...! He called me a... a FLOWER!
Eppie: *mischievous grins turns into a teasing smirk* Oh he DID, did he?
Abril: YEAH! He did!
Eppie: So he called you flower, what's wrong with that!
Abril: ... EVERYTHING! I mean, the only reason boys have EVER complimented me is when they want something... or to push my buttons! So when HE said it...I blushed and I didn't see the ball! *blushes even harder*
Eppie: ... *bursts out laughing* Oh Abril-kins, you've been bitten by the love bug!
Abril: *you can imagine the shocked face* WHAT?!
Gore: *emerges from the toy-box he was playing in and makes a sickened face* Eeeewww! The love bug's got COOTIES!
Abril: What are you talking about?! I don't LOVE him!
Eppie: ... *still smirks* Girl, it's obvious! I can tell! You say you're mad at him, but you're actually mad that what he said wasn't sincere. And I'm guessing you wanted it to be sincere!
Abril: NO! I don't like it because he SMACKED ME ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD! Man, oh MAN! I wish he was dead!
Eppie: *smiles; apparently she knows what Nash does about rhyming and Abril caring* ...you still care for him one way or another.
Abril: No I don't; I do not care! In fact it's the opposite... I wish him despair!
Eppie: The opposite of love isn't hate, my dear. It's apathy.
Abril: *calms down a little* ... what did you say, my many-legged vertebrae?
Eppie: You love someone with all of your heart, or you hate someone with all of your being; energy wise, they're both the same. The one positive, the other is negative. You care about that person because what they do affects you in someway and you either like it or you don't! You still care because that person has some significance to you.
Abril: ... ...
Eppie: Apathy is the true opposite of love, for that person doesn't affect you. They are unimportant. So you couldn't care!
Abril: ... ... *in deep thought*
Eppie: *smiles* Well, I'll let you ponder that while we go tell your brother we're here. C'mon Gore, Boxy. *leaves with Gore*
Boxy: *starts to follow; stops, looks at Abril; does the "1 plus 1 equals 2" thing with his fingers, giggles and follows Eddy and Gore*
Abril: *scowls*... *when she is alone* Apathy, eh? ... Well, I guess I'll just have to ignore him from now on.
Abril: *turns and glares at the three of them, and jabs a finger at Rhythm* HIM! ... *tries to fight back the tears, but fails* I'm going to my room! *storms off and slams her door*
