Chapter 8

Bastion handed Mindy her new vengeance plan written clearly on a piece of notebook paper. She was finally going to avenge the death of her sister and on the bad emotional and physical injuries that Brian and Alex had inflicted upon her. Hassleberry guessed Bastion woke up early that morning to do this for Mindy. Hassleberry thought I wish they would just get together. I mean if I was that fond of someone, I would have told them by now. Mindy looked the plan over and nodded; she knew she had to follow these directions if she wanted to stay alive or unharmed.

"Thank you so much, Bastion," Mindy said, "Well, I need to go get dressed, so I will see you later." She scampered out of the room. Bastion sighed as he watched her and wondered if they would stay friends after the ordeal was finished.

Hassleberry rudely interrupted Bastion's thoughts by saying, "You should just tell her you like her, soldier."

"Well it's not like I haven't thought of that," Bastion replied, truth was he was afraid that she would reject him.

"You're just a coward, and trust me, after your plan is in effect, you might as well tell her," Hassleberry said honestly. The young man with dinosaur DNA wished his friends would be more open with people they liked. Even Chazz wasn't all the way open with Jasmine.

"Maybe, you're right," said Bastion as he wondered I think he may have a point, but then who knows. She is a girl, and girls are unpredictable. He looked out the window, waiting for this afternoon, and the time for Mindy to finally be free of her troubles.

It was exactly three o' clock that afternoon as Hassleberry, Mindy, Bastion, Chazz, Jasmine, Jaden, and Alexis waited for the troublesome duo to be walking on the street. The boys that had caused so much pain were easily provoked and would come over to torture young Mindy. Bastion looked at the surprisingly calm Mindy. Unless Mindy is hiding this in then she is going to totally annihilate those boys. Mindy looked up to see the young men.

"Look who's here," growled Brian angrily, but Mindy shrugged it off as if it was some annoying girl calling her a bitch or a slut. Please, let this work prayed Mindy in her mind.

"She comes around easily," Alex said pulling in close to Mindy, and she used the opportunity to kick his in the stomach and punch him in the face. She grinned and thought happily this is a lot of fun actually. I didn't know violence was my thing. She kneed Alex quickly and hard enough for him to collapse on the ground.

"Sorry, dumb and dumber, I'm not that kind of girl that will take that kind of crap," Mindy said proudly. Brian launched towards, but tripped over Alex. Mindy jumped back, as one of them reached to grab her ankle. She used her other leg to kick Brian in the face. Bastion looked at Mindy and thought she is really strong, I didn't know she had it in her, maybe she had former experience, but I don't know. Alex and Brian scrambled to their feet in a vain attempt to grab her.

"You are going to pay for that," said Brian, wiping the blood from his chin. Mindy had memorized their tactics from the last time. Alex attempted to grab her arm, but she quickly turned around. Bad mistake thought Bastion. This left her vulnerable from an attack from the back. Brian quickly grabbed her as Alex pulled out a knife. I wished she didn't go against the orders. I guess she didn't want her arm to be chopped off yelled Bastion mentally.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I am not going to wind up like my sister," said Mindy as she bit Alex's hand, making him drop the knife, it scraped against her arm, as it fell to the sidewalk. She turned around quickly, breaking free of Brian. As soon as this happened, the boys went into a fit of rage, pulling out their weapons, but to their surprise, Jaden had called the police and they had arrived on the scene, and Alex and Brian were arrested for attempted murder, because they did have the opportunity before they came to get in damage.

"You did it," said Bastion happily as the boys were pushed into the car. The bruised and bloodied Mindy smiled and laughed.

"I couldn't even have dreamt up this plan," said Mindy wiping the blood from a cut on her face. She thought it's all done now. I'm free and at peace for once.

"I guess this is where we go our separate ways, you'll be back to your boy crazy self and hanging out with your girl friends, huh?" asked Bastion solemnly. This is where the truth comes out thought Bastion quietly. Mindy was laughing constantly and shook her head.

"You are crazy! Of course not! Bastion, you are the most amazing person ever. Don't ever forget that. You don't get it, do you?" said Mindy quietly as she tried to quiet her laughter. He is completely oblivious or has no experience in this department thought Mindy. Bastion shook his head as he mentally said use deductive reasoning. Think like Mindy. Okay, I can't do that.

"Please elaborate for me," said Bastion curiously. Mindy kissed him on the lips without any hesitation, and this time Bastion kissed back.

"Did that mean anything this time?" he asked smiling.

"It did indeed," Mindy said trying to hold back every emotion she was feeling. Bastion pulled her into a close embrace. He never wanted to forget that moment. Hopefully, it was obvious that he adored her with every ounce of his being.

"Will you be mine, Mindy? I mean I know this is kind of sudden, but still…" said Bastion who was silenced by Mindy putting a finger on his lips.

"There should be an obvious answer to that," said Mindy as she sunk into his body and Bastion took that as a yes.

The End

Mew Kazurinu: Yes! I finished, I hope you enjoyed this. Yes, the fight was Bastion's plan of action. Who knew he could think violently?

Bastion: I can think any way possibly.

Mew Kazurinu: Except like a girl, and if you could that would be beyond bizarre.

Mindy: I got to fight!!! I am so ninja.
