Chapter 7 : Joining Thatch's Gang and Everlasting Friendship

It was Monday evening, all the students were now leaving their last class of the day and were now going to do their own thing. Fatch was walking with Aria, Thatch and his gang as he said merrily to them while smiling.

'' Say guys, what do you all wanna do now ? ''

Suddenly, Thatch and the others stopped walking and they looked at Fatch as Thatch began to say to him with a look of realization.

'' Oh Fatch, is it ok if you go somewhere else for a bit ? ''

Blinking while looking confusedly at Thatch, Fatch said slowly.

'' Um, y-yeah sure... B-But why ? ''

Aria then said softly to Fatch while smiling.

'' We all have a little something to do Fatch, it could be boring.. So we thought you could go and have fun doing something else. ''

Understanding, though looking a bit sad now Fatch said softly

'' Ok then.. ''

All of them noticing his sad look, Aria came up to Fatch and placed her hand on his shoulder while saying softly.

'' Don't be sad Fatch, we still really enjoy your company. ''

Then Thatch came up beside Aria and said to Fatch while smiling softly.

'' As soon as we're done, one of us will come and get you. Don't feel bad, you're still our friend right guys? ''

Aria and his gang all happily agreed, seeing this made Fatch feel much better as he now smiled brightly then said to them.

'' Thanks guys.. Well I'll see you all later than. ''

Fatch then walked of in the opposite direction of the hallway, as soon as he was out of sight, the gang suddenly start to giggle giddily as they all ran down the hallway.

Fatch walked out through the front entrance of Scare School and came up to the sea. Then he made himself comfortable as he sat down and got his Flippy out from his pocket to cuddle him, then said happily to himself as he looked at the even sea.

'' Ever since I came to Scare School... I've made friends with everyone, they all like me for who I am and... My first, two best friends, Thatch, Aria and their parents... Are now really close, good friends with my family. ''

Fatch then looks down at Flippy and softly said to him while hugging him tighter.

'' Also, you're friends with Duck and Mr Beaky now, Flippy. ''

Flippy then says to Fatch happily.

'' Yep, they're REALLY good, toy friends to hang with. ''

Fatch giggles giddily at Flippy, then he looks at the sea again... Then, he begins to say a little poem.

" A past that was once a dark reality,

is nothing more but a dark, forgotten memory. ''

Fatch speaks his little heart out, as he begins again.

" My family and I, who moved away

from our dark path, now on the

road to a bright one.

With people, so kind and caring

without any hate or uncaring. ''

Fatch now stands up as he says to the sky, letting all his happy feelings out then he ends it while now saying quietly.

'' To all the people, to everyone that

showed us all that... There's always light

at the end of a dark, cold tunnel.

I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ''

Fatch hugs Flippy happily, as he then notices the Sea Monster looking at him with happiness. Fatch giggles as he then says softly to the monster.

'' Aw, did you enjoy listening to my poem, Mr Sea Monster? ''

To answer his question, the sea monster gives Fatch an affectionate like with its tongue, which made Fatch laugh happily before saying.

'' Ha-ha, I'll take that as a yes then. ''

'' He's not the only one, who likes it Fatch. ''

Fatch jumps up slightly in surprise, then turns to see Aria and Thatch behind him, both wearing happy smiles as Thatch began to say happily.

'' Aria and I, never knew you'd feel this happy... We're all glad that you and your family, are adjusting to the new life with us all. ''

Tears begin to brim Fatchs eyes, then he quickly runs over to them and hugs both of them tightly. Before saying softly to them.

'' Thank you... Thank you all so, so much. ''

Aria and Thatch both smiled as they hugged Fatch back, while the sea monster watches this with awe, before diving down back into the sea. The three friends pulled away from each other, before Thatch said happily to Fatch.

'' Oh yes! Fatch we're ready for you to come with us now. ''

Fatch smiled brightly at them, as they all headed back to Scare School, While they walked, Fatch said in curiosity to them.

'' So what was that thing you all had to do ? ''

Aria and Thatch, now wore secretive smiles before Aria said sweetly to Fatch.

'' Oh just a little preparation, that's all. ''

Fatch was a bit confused from this, but said nothing as they continued to walk.

Once they went through the school doors, they see Thatch's gang along with Casper and his gang, all wearing happy looks. Then Thatch and Aria both lead a confused Fatch to the crowd as the two of them walked up a few steps on the stairs. Fatch then said in curiosity to the others.

'' What's going on guys? ''

Thatch's gang and Casper's gang, all giggled slightly, before Casper said softly to him.

'' You'll see Fatch. ''

Then they hear Thatch clearing his throat, which made Fatch and the others look up to see Thatch and Aria. Standing side by side, on top of the stairs, then Thatch said to the crowd as he smiled.

'' Everyone, Aria and I are so very happy about how our two gangs are getting along with each other. ''

Aria smiles brightly at Thatch, before she said happily to the crowd.

'' Also, we're all, VERY happy about the next thing coming up... Fatch, if you could come up and join us please. ''

Fatch was VERY, surprised as he glanced at the encouraging looks his friends are giving him. Before he went up the stairs and stood the opposite side of Thatch, Thatch then placed his hand on Fatchs shoulder, while saying proudly to the crowd.

'' Today, Fatch is part of our gang. ''

Fatch nearly stumbled after hearing him say that, HIM? now a PART of THATCHS GANG? Aria smiled sweetly at Fatch before saying softly to him.

'' We all really think you're a cool, sweet, funny guy Fatch... We would all be SO happy for you to join our gang, friend. ''

Tears now welling up in his ruby eyes, Fatch let out a wail of happiness as he then hugged both Aria and Thatch tightly before saying happily to them.

'' THANK YOU! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU ALL SO MUCH, SNIFF AHH I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! ''

The two gangs started to cheer now, as they all ran up the stairs to give the three a big, group hug as they all laughed happily together in this happy moment.

It was night time now, all the students were asleep in their dorms... Except for one, which was Fatch as he lay in his bed, while looking at a picture of Aria, Thatch and himself in the middle as he had his arms around them while smiling happily at the camera. Fatch then smiles fondly to himself, as he then puts the picture inside of Flippy along with the other picture, then hugs Flippy to him while snuggling down to get to sleep, before saying happily to himself.

'' Thank you... ''

Then he fell fast asleep, while not noticing Thatch's coffin lid opened slightly as Thatch watched him with a soft smile, before saying softly to the sleeping vampire.

'' Your welcome Fatch. ''

Then he closes his lid, as he then went fast to sleep while hugging his toy rubber duck close to him. With a smile on his face.
