I was... I was dreaming
Everything was so weird in my dream. The sky and ground were both a bright white, and it seemed like they just melted together in the horizon. As much as I wanted to move and explore this new place, I found my feet unable to move, almost as if they were stuck to the ground. I bent over to look at them, to free them, but a shimmering gold light caught my eyes. I looked up and saw a championship title floating down right in front of me.
It slowly spun as it lowered right down in front of me and suspended itself in mid air right before my face. I reached out to grab it, to finally have that gold wrapped around my waist once again. In some cruel trick though, my fingers could only barely touch the gold plating as it spun around in front of me. Try as I might, I couldn't reach far enough to do anything more than graze the gold plating, and my legs just would not move, rooting me to that exact spot. Leaving me to suffer as I have another chance to put gold around my waist, but finding it to be just barely out of reach. Then I started to hear the voices...[/i]
Listen, now is a really really bad time for you to be here. Just go and I'll get what I owe to you as soon as possible alright?
Ya see, I just can't have that. I mean, it'd be bad for business ya know. If I give you a little extra room, soon I'll have the rest of them asking for some too, and I just can't have that now can I?
I... I know that... but, just come back later and we can settle everything and I'll get you the money that I owe you, but right now is a really really bad time, and I think things will work much better later.
Heh... it's always a bad time isn't it. I'm beginning to think you don't even have what you owe me. Maybe you just want me to leave so you can skip town? Is that what the plan is Melissa? You're trying to screw me over, after all that I've done for you. That's not a very good way to conduct business. Maybe I'll just have to cut you off, and you can find another way to get hooked up.
No! I just... I'm not alone, and I don't want him to see this.
Pegasus had woken up a few seconds into their conversation, the tone in their voices causing him a little concern. He was laying on a couch, with a blanket draped across his body, and his shirt sprawled out on the floor next to the couch. He could see Melissa just outside the room he was in, and judging by the shakyness of her voice and the way she kept moving her body, something had her very nervous and rattled, scared almost.
Well, that is no longer my problem, is it? Move!
Pegasus watches as she was shoved backwards and falls to the floor. Although every muscle in his body ached, he quickly hopped up to his feet and walked towards her. The man who had pushed her, a tall gangly man with grease filled hair, stepped into view.
I think you owe her an apology.
You think that I owe her an apology? Ha, that's a good one. How about this, I kick your ass, and then take what she owes me. Then I go home happy, and you two go back to your pathetic lives eh?
He lurched forward and swung at Pegasus, who would have ducked the punch easily... but after the hell he'd been put through by Grimm and his other opponents a short time ago, dodging was not an option. The fist connected with Pegs jaw, and his head jerked to the side and he took a step back... but that was it. Compared to what he'd been through in his career, the punch was nothing.
Was... that it? Because I can do much much better if you want me to try.
The man, slightly scared that Pegasus had taken the punch so well, stepped back. He opened his mouth to say something, but thought better of it and just walked out of the apartment. Pegasus turned toward Melissa with a smile on his face and offered his hand to help her up, but she wasn't as joyous as he was.
What have you done?
OOC: Yea, I'm rushing it, sorry. Basically, this was supposed to be for last week, but I never got around to it. Sorry NCM, and Icey.
