NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS,

MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

Mimi wandered aimlessly for a little while trying to find her way to the library until a flock of flying monkeys noticed her and used the blood of a sheep to mark a trail for her.

“Thanks,” Mimi said, not quite sure how to respond.

After walking alone for a little while Mimi felt someone was following her. She turned and saw a tall, muscular figure, wearing a potato sack, with a backpack on his right shoulder and a detonation device in his left hand.

“Are you following me?” Mimi said.

Groton ignored her and walked past her towards the library, which was now within view.

“I can find my own way, you know.” Mimi hurried and caught up to him. “So you’re not talking to me now?”

Groton said nothing.

“You’re such a strange cryptid,” Mimi continued. “Were you scared of me yesterday? Is that why you broke the chair?”

"Groton scared of no one."

Mimi believed that. “You do know I have cryptid powers now.”

"Groton see canoe go wrong way."

"Whatever!” Mimi said. They walked in silence until they reached the lawn of the library. “Do you want to know what I think is going on here?”

“Groton rather blow himself up.”

“I’ll tell you what’s going on,” Mimi grabbed Groton’s arms and stopped him. “I think you said, ‘Here’s this defenseless, no-birthmark slayer who’s obviously too beautiful to survive without the help of a tall, strong, quiet-type cryptid like me, so I better step in and help her.’ Well, that kind of thing might work with other slayers, but this slayer doesn’t need your help. I’ve had a great day, possibly the best day of my life. I have friends who love me. And I even have a cryptid boyfriend. He’s got skin that’s 120 years—"

Groton dropped his detonation device. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand and lifted the bottom of his potato sack with the other, revealing a smooth, bronze chin, and a full set of lips. Then, he lowered his right arm, wrapped it around Mimi's waist, brought her close to him, and kissed her on the lips. Mimi couldn't say anything. It was the first time she’d been kissed and she hadn't even seen it coming. She didn't know if kissing was his super power but she definitely thought it should be. Her knees felt weak and her heart began to pound.

“I can’t do this,” Groton said and let her go. “I promised myself I wouldn’t do this.” He covered the bottom of his face and rushed into the library without her.

Mimi watched the door of the gift shop open and close behind Groton, stunned. What had just happened? She was going to run after him when she noticed the detonation device lying on the grass. Mimi bent down and picked it up. It was made out of plastic, cheap plastic, and weighed almost nothing.

The gift shop door opened and closed. “Groton need that,” Groton said, grabbed the detonation device out of her hands, and went back inside.
