While the students are enjoying their break, Teddy and Ellie began their meeting discussion about their date last weekend.
"Yo, Teddy! I had dun during the mission!" he said as he grins at him.
"Is this okay, Eleanor? Remember, there's no reset button in real life. But if this is your decision you'll make, I'll glady accompany you!" he declares to him with a smile. "Thank you!" he said, and they shake hands.
Ellie goes back to their classroom to negotiate his plan with Rejean. He saw her that she's being irritated by him.
"Tell me how to give a present!"
MISSION #5: MUST GIVE A PRESENT
"A present?" she asked.
"Yes!" he answered as he smirks at her.
"Really? A present?" she asked again, but she's annoyed. They are just keep staring to each other like they having a grudge.
"Your dating advice didn't help me. But it should be next time," he angrily said at her. It's true that their plan didn't work it's because they had a terrible turn of events.
"Suddenly you know what you're doing. Why are you acting all high and mighty on me? Hey dweeb! Where's that promise about hooking me up with Riley?" she said arrogantly. Ellie didn't answer because he forgot his deal with Rejean.
"You owe me, buddy! Now, shoo!" she said as she pisses him off the room.
Ellie wandered around the school until he finally found Riley that he was with his company.
"Hi!" he greeted him as he smiled like an idiot. Riley just ignored him, but Ellie blocked his way. He can't forget what happened at the cafeteria the other day.
"Don't mind us….." his friends just keep passing by as they give them a space. They thought Ellie wanted to see him, so they gave him some privacy.
"What is it?" Riley asked, annoyed. He didn't say a thing, and he keeps smiling at him. He wanted to pass him, but Ellie still tried to block him. "Could you meet up with Rejean Clementine?" he asked.
"What?"
"If you can send her a message, that would be great. This is weird coming from me, but I think she is a good person," he said while he's still grinning at him like a fool.
"Come over here!" he retorted as he grabbed him to an empty classroom. Riley forcefully sits him down into a chair and he went in front of him like he will going to teach him.
"Eleanor... Don't make me repeat myself! There's no way that she would fall in love with you," Ellie didn't know what is happening like he was just ignoring him. "It would be great if Alexandria went out with me. Understand?"
"Present… Present…" Ellie keeps whispering to himself.
Riley made a triangle on the blackboard and he wrote Alexandria's and his name on the upper section of the triangle while Ellie's name is at the bottom.
"Right up here is me and Alexandria," he positioned his chalk on the upper section of the triangle.
"I need money for the present!"
"And then… You're right here," he placed out his chalk on the lower section.
"A job! I need a part-time job!" he keeps mumbling as he ignoring him.
"You're a dork from a weird realm…"
"Yes! A part-time job! I must leave now!"
"No matter how you see it, there's no way that she would date you,"
Ellie raised his hand like he was going to ask a question.
"Yes?"
"In order to buy a present, I need to leave now," he said, and he leaves the classroom, leaving Riley speechless. He realized that he's ignoring him the entire discussion.
THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND
Ellie took a part-time job as a dance mascot in some park across the town. He's performing a jolly dance so the children and parents will come to watch him. He's being motivated to his job because he wanted to give Alex a present. The parents and children are clapping as they see him performing in their front.
"Can I have a balloon?" a child asked him. Ellie took a red balloon from one of the staff and he gave it to her. "Thank you!"
As his performance ended, he waved at them happily and bid farewell to them. Ellie feels so excited, like he made a simple decision to buy her a present.
"This is amazing! Just by hiding my face with a mask, I can do all this stuff!"
"Waah~ Waah~ Mama!" he heard a crying child at the side of the pole.
*Target Found*
"Why are you crying child?" he mumbled to himself and he gradually approaches the child but suddenly….
"What's wrong? Your mom is missing?" Alexandria suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Ellie gasped as she saw her at the park. He didn't know what to do, so he moved away from her.
"What's your name?" she asked gently.
"It's Rachel,"
"Excuse me! Umm… do you know where the information desk around here is?" she suddenly asked the mascot which is Ellie, that it's inside.
"I don't know. Ellie isn't here!" he keeps whispering to himself. He nodded like he's telling her he doesn't know where the information desk is.
"Is that so? Alright! Let's look for your mother together, okay?" she said to the child, and she carried her. Alex calls out the mother of the child while Ellie just stares at her. She keeps calling out until the child's mother arrives.
"Thank you, miss!" the mother said to her.
"I'm so glad! You're welcome! Bye! Bye!" she said happily to them. She walks over next to the mascot as they both relieved. "I'm happy for them," she said with a relief.
"That's true!" he sighed, but he just bowed in approval.
"Yeah! I'll be leaving then," she said as she walked away.
Ellie turned around as he saw that she's with Christian. He seemed that they are on a date. He noticed that they are laughing and smiling like a normal couple. Ellie removes his mask as he understands that his heart is being killed.
"I'm such an idiot… I was just being carried away by myself," he returned his mask and he goes back to his job.
Alex requested Christian to meet with her because she had something she wanted to tell. As they were wandering around the park, she can't help but to tell him about their date the other day.
"Listen to this, Christian! I went to Ellie's house the other day but��� Everyone in his family was a wonderful person. That is why that Ellie is a special person to me!" she happily said to him.
"You really like him, don't you?" he said as he's teasing her.
"That's not it! I also want to become that kind of person like Ellie," she said as she smiles to him.
Meanwhile, after the day, Ellie was just lying in his room as he was overwhelmed by what had happened. He didn't expect that Alex dated another man. This must be his first heart-break.
"Hey! Heeeeyyy!!!" Belle kept calling to him like she was speaking to dead. "Is real life really that bad? What a pain. You just got teased and played with. Get a hold of yourself…." she said in disappointment, and she enchants her spell to make him back to his fictional world.
Ellie realized that he shouldn't trust people easily in the first place. Knowing that they will tease, play, or even betray him. The next day when he and Alex will going to meet at the park to go to school, she seems that she can't find him anywhere.
*beep*
She grabbed her phone from her bag as she received a text message from Ellie.
"I really have a nasty rash so I won't be able to pick you up,"
"What is that?" she wandered about his problem.
THE FOLLOWING HOURS
Ellie sits in the other side of the school garden to calm himself down. He breathed heavily as the fresh air from the flowers sweeps down into his nose.
"Calm down. I said that I wouldn't get involved with anyone else," he closes his eyes and smells the fresh air. "I've calmed myself a little!"
*rustle rustle*
Ellie suddenly saw a student that is carrying a three sacks of seeds at the garden. He seems that she's trying hard to lift it with her all might.
"Be careful, Divina…" she mumbled to herself while she��s carrying.
*thuds*
The sacks fell down, and she fell down too for its weight. Ellie came down to help her as he hears that she's talking to someone else like him.
"I'll help you—"
"WAAHH!!!" she startled as she saw him out of nowhere.
