escape from reality

chapter 6 A new member or Archie's group

The next day came. Melinda as always depressed made her way on the Townsville park. There she seen the old group. Archie and his friends steward, a blonde guy with glasses and Doute another blond guy with very short hair. These three ones were the old people from Archies little group. There was also another guy who seemed to be a newcomer  fidgeting on a guitar. He had red long hair. He had a goatie beard. Otherwise he was dressed in black. He had just like Ace elf ears. The red haired guy looked straight at Melinda.
Archie stood up while everyone else sat on going to Melinda to give her a friendly hug "hey Mel's long time no see" Archie said. The unknown guy looked at Archie in a slightly shocked way "THIS is your first ex?!" He asked "yes, yes she is" Archie answered "wow... never thought you were a furry" the guy answered. Melinda got off Archie. She reached his scent. Whatever the smell was. All she can smell, on his scent smelled not human at all. More like a cat and a scorpion. All she could say was "hypocrite who are you anyway?" Archie chuckled "sry... didn't introduced you... well this little fella here is Cengiz. He is my roommate since a month" Archie mentioned. Cengiz stood up. His body stature were really muscular. He looked at Melinda in a cold way reaching his clawy hand out. Melinda just looked at it. His claw where matt dark grey with a inch of red "what?! Don't you know how to greet? Or do you prefer butt sniffing?" Cengiz asked. Melinda snarled at him for the rude statement. Her eyeball turned black "SERIOUSLY?! I never met someone just as rude as you and I spend YEARS with the Gangreen gang!" Melinda growled. Cengiz was shocked seeing her eyes like this "uh yeah better not joke with her! She takes some things very seriously and she can get violent easily..." Archie mentioned. Doute and steward only could agree. Cengiz got all the sudden silent. "Heh looks like you failed hard at meeting her! She doesn't trust people much" doute said. Cengiz seemed to get headace. He held his head and snarled. After he snapped out of it he looked back at her "look I a sorry for being rude! I am a parcilluar person to deal with so..." he said reaching his hand out to her again. Melinda just looked at it sitting to dout and steward, trying her best to ignore the redhaired freak. "Just keep it going... maybe you will find a way she could trust you" Archie said. "So..." Melinda started "you guys know Lil Arturo?" She asked "yes! We often go to the night club he is working here! If you want to we can spend our time tonight. All together like old times!" Archie said. Melinda noded slowly "yeah I guess I could... its not like I can sleep at all"  she said. "Wow..." Steward said "so Ace's dead got you pretty much, yeah?" He continued. Melinda looked at the floor. On this point Cengiz could only stare at her with his cold eyes like he knew something "can you all not feed her negative thoughs by mentioning him? This would make her feel more miserable!" Cengiz asked. Melinda just looked at her in an unamused way. "Just making things better here" Cengiz said "he has right... lets celebrate our reunion!" Archie said

"Hey do you have some mentols?" Melinda asked steward and doute looked at her suprised "YOU ARE SMOKING?!" They asked Melinda looked at them "yes?" She answered Cengiz gave her a cigarette "yeah its malboro mentol... really good" he said. Melinda ripped it of his claws. She put it in her mouth "you had to know my weaknesses!" She said lightenung up her cigarette with a holographic coloured lighter. "Did you tried something harder?" Cengiz asked "I smoked Shisha couple of times and Weed as well... why?" Melinda asked "we are sharing each other weeds sometimes" Steward answered "wow... I am in... right after I am finished with mentol" melinda said. "well... I even tried Cengiz Bong one time" Archie said "wow! never tried that before!" Melinda said. " damn this would kick you real man!" steward said "you don't do drugs aren't you?" Cengiz asked "uuuh not really... not after what they changed doute for a while" Archie said "I just had a bad influence ok?" Doute answered "yeeah.... not such hard one... why you ask?" Melinda asked "well... just wondering-" cengiz started. but Archie interrupted"WE ARE NOT GONNA DO THAT TO HER ... at least... not infront of Lil Arturo..." he said "chill dude! I know my limits!" Cengiz said "I hope so! you will not want to mess with Big Billy!" Archie said. Melinda's ears perked "what?" she asked "Big Billy currently doesn't handle it when we mentioned her. as we passed through him yesterday, archie told we should hangout again. He threatened Archie right away then" Stewie explained "he would deffenetly not having any of it if he'd found out you would use drugs!" Doute said. Cengiz smirked he seemed to knew something.  "this doesn't sound like him at all.... maybe this hit on the head changed him too much" Melinda mentioned "OH!" Dout started as realization hit "I should greet you from my Exgirlfriend Ivy!" he continued. Melinda looked at doute "oh right! Ivy and snake are related!" she said the boys were laughing "before..... well before the now now tour from Gorillaz ended she mentioned you were hanging out with the Gangreen gang " Stewie said "we just wanted to get a relaxing massage since she is working in the Townsville Massage salon!" Archie answered "I guess you should need one too" stewie said "yeah... would be great to meet her again!" Melinda said. Archie noded "to be exact... her AND Kenny" Melinda continued "don't mention her name!" Cengiz bursted. he snarled wich let him almost look animalistic. Melinda got confused "I am sorry... they don't like each other" Archie said "oh... alright... normally I was the one most hated" Melinda said laughing. everyone got silent. stewie broke the silence "not by us!" he said. "anyways... shall we go?" Archie asked since the sun finally set. Melinda looked up "yes... we really should" she said. everyone made up their way to the club.

they all had to show their Licenses to pass in Archie was paying the entry for all of them "its ok! the dog is in the guest list! " the Security said "must have been Lil Arturo's Idea!" Archie said. Melinda noded. everyone got in. the club looked inside like the club from the music video strobelite. people were dancing like crazy  in the stage. few people making up with each other, making drink challenges. the lazers were just glowing around the club "this is a perfect place to industrial dance!" Melinda said. "lets take a seat first!" the group sitting on the free places. the seats were comfy leathers. around them were a cube shaped Table "well, what you want to drink?" Archie asked "lets just all agree with beer" Cengiz said "agreed" everyone said. Lil Arturo came across the group. he immediatly recognized Melinda, going for an hug "SENIORA CHIHUAHUAENO! YOU CAME!" he squeaked. Cengiz grunted "what?!" but he regret his question after the dog looked at him with a snarl. he sunk into his seat "ok..." he said "what do ya want ta drink?" Lil Arturo asked. "beer" everyone said in choir. Arturo noded. after everyone got their drink they had a great time. after they drink theyre beer they began to dance. Melinda danced her industrial dancing. they were also drinking even more. they all got drunk. Melinda mostly. they even had to pull her back.  "don't worry guy's I will handle it" Cengiz said. the others agreed. Melinda kept dancing. Cengiz stopped her pressing her to the wall "how about... we could go elsewhere? just drinking wouldn't help." Melinda looked confused at him.  Cengiz came closer to her but got interrupted by Lil arturo "Excuse me Amigo, but if ya do something nasty to This chica. you will be messing with me, messing with me means ta mess with the gang, Cosequirlio, Amigo?" he said. Cengiz bowed him down "let me tell you one thing kiddo! I am just bringing her home nothing else!" he said "did you just called me...  Nino?!" Lil arturo asked me "Cosequilio Amigo!" Cengiz answered provoking the little man. he growling taking his phone out. Melinda holded him back falling over Cengiz Arms "its ok! just give him a chance... I will tell all of you when he is up to something" she said.  Lil Arturo thought about it. he nodded then, putting his phone on his pocket "I'll watch ya amigo!" he said carrying on with his job. Cengiz picked the dog up "lets better go. " he said they walked out of the club saying goodbye to Archie and the others.  As they walked out they got to talk. " are those green guys always like that?" Cengiz asked. "so over protective? yes... they only care for me... they.... they made a promise to protect me... and they are very serious about that.... especially now" Melinda explained "you know... I would take care of you! you may not trust me! but I am someone who takes things very serious!" Cengiz answered "I bet.... you really don't wanna see my friends in their bad sides! Big billy almost beaten up my crush from Highschool a week ago... " Melinda mentioned Cengiz only noded. Cengiz mysteriously knew where Melinda lived. but this didn't bother her.

as they got home Cengiz layed her on the bed. they both got a suprising visit from Grubber "greetings!" he said standing on the door. He came across the redhaired man "if you try to hurt her. you will be doomed! I really know what is going on! so you better dont do any wrong movements! " Grubber said "I promise I won't hurt her!" Cengiz said. Grubber squinted in untrust. "we will see... now GO!" he said pointing at the door. Cengiz noded, going out of the house. "I would tell you if he tries something!" she said "just remember what Him said... there is something wrong with him... "Grubber said "I will watch out..." Melinda said. "good! we all want the best for you!... good night " Grubber said. he went out of her house
