The Merge

Next chapter of my story between Topher and Ella as well as Scarlett and Leonard. It's been so much fun writing it and I'm sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I've had a lot of time to plan it out. So here you go!

Leonard gets up from the ground and tries to cover up his stain with his cloak. "Oh. Scarlett. You devilish angel." Leonard groans. "I'll get you back later I promise." He chuckled. "Right after I stop loving you." Scarlett came out of her closet with her usual yellow shirt on as well as her glasses. "Are you ready to see your friends again?" She asked. Leonard still feels wet. "Not yet." The doorbell rings. "Oh dammit!" Leonard yells. "Just don't bring it up and no one will notice." Scarlett assures him. "Fine." Leonard says.

Scarlett opens the door. "Hello Scarlett." Ella sang. "Hi Ella. Hi Topher." She greeted them. "Scarlett. It's good to know you're okay." Topher said. "Thank you." She responded. "Leonard are you back there?" Ella asked. Leonard was silent. Scarlett called back to him. "Just come out." "Fine." Leonard sighed and walked out of the hallway.

Topher waved for a second but noticed Leonard was trying to hide something. "Uh buddy. Are you okay?" Topher asked. "What are you saying?" He questioned. "You look kind of wet." He pointed at his pancreas. Ella gave a surprised face. "Did you guys?" She started to say. Scarlett covered for him. "He spilled some water on himself." She winked at him. *Oh what does it matter? * He thought. "Scarlett and I just had sex!" "Leonard!" Scarlett snapped. "What? It's not like they weren't going to find out sooner or later."

"Well that's not something you tell anyone!" Scarlett exclaimed. Leonard looked very pissed off. "I didn't even want to do it! Okay?" He shouted. "Hey! Calm down you two." Topher said. "Look it's not something to be ashamed of. I lost my virginity to Amy." Both Leonard and Scarlett commented at the same time. "You did?" Ella nods. "We decided not to hide any of our secrets."

"If it makes you feel better. I thought it was Samey." Topher said. Leonard and Scarlett looked confused. "So…" Leonard said. Scarlett finished his sentence. "You two wanted to do it to?" Topher nodded. "We just wanted to be sure that there aren't any side effects that Leonard forgot to mention." Ella said. Leonard turned to Scarlett. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." "I'm sorry to." She says as she pulls Leonard in for a hug. Leonard kisses Scarlett on the cheek after they're done. "Awe." Ella said quietly. "You two are adorable together." She said. "Thank you" Leonard and Scarlett synchronize their speech. Then Scarlett pulls Leonard in and kisses him on the lips.

After 5 seconds they stopped kissing. "Do you really think that Ella?" Leonard asks. "Uh huh. You're as cute as Topher and I." The princess says. "Are you serious?" Scarlett questions. "Oh yeah! In fact." Topher pulls out his phone and takes a picture of them. "Bam! Uploading! An image of Scarnard." "Scarnard?" Leonard asks. Topher pauses. "Fine. Leonlett." "Leonlett?" Scarlett asks. "Fine. What do you have?" Topher asks them. Leonard says, "I've got nothing." "Me neither." Scarlett agrees.

"Ooh. I've got something. How about Scarleo?" Ella asks. "Perfect honey." Topher responds. "Do you guys like that name?" "Sure." Scarlett says. "It's cute." Leonard agrees. "Then I shall post Scarleo online!" He types his description on his phone then puts it down.

Leonard rose up. "I think the most impressive thing was the fact that I didn't use my spell on Scarlett." He said. "You didn't?" Ella asks. "I didn't need to." Leonard grinned. Scarlett gives him a satisfied smile. "You used another spell." "Right." Leonard said. "Come on in and make yourselves comfortable." Scarlett invites them in. Scarlett and Leonard are on two chairs next to each other while Ella and Topher sit together on one couch.

"Okay. I see you've gotten a lot closer to each other than I've seen." Leonard said. "You have no idea." Topher says. Ella starts counting off. "We've learned our favorite foods, our birthdays, I've learned most of Topher's ticklish spots." Topher blushed. "Oh Topher is ticklish to?" Leonard said. "I'm ticklish." Scarlett admitted. "Good for you." Topher responded. "Now what's this thing about sex and why do you need my permission?" Leonard asks them.

Topher puts down his phone. "Huh?" The Chris-wannabe questions. Leonard frowns. "Can you please take this seriously?" He asks. "Yeah, sorry. I'll put this on vibrate." He says as he puts the phone in his pocket. "Who are you texting anyways?" Scarlett asked. "It's just a blog." Topher said. "I'm writing about our relationship."

"You still didn't answer my question." The wizard replies. "We wanted to know if you're okay with it?" Ella says. Leonard looks confused. "What do you mean? It's your bond not mine." He said. Topher interrupts. "Is there any side affect from your power thingy that could harm us if we made love?" He questions. "No." Leonard responds. "It's been about 24 hours since I tagged Ella and even more for you."

Topher sighed. "Okay then." He says before Leonard cuts him off. "If there was any side effect then we would've seen it by now." Ella smiled after this. "So if Topher and I wanted to-" "Yes." Leonard said. "But you've got to be careful. There are concerns such as Aids." He stated. "Nope." "Don't have it." Said Topher and Ella.

Scarlett joined in. "Pregnancy?" Ella looked worried for a moment. "Leonard, I won't stop loving Topher will I? Will this potion wear off?" She asked. "Not if you want to." He said as he rubbed his hands together. "But if all else fails I've learned a counter spell." "Oh you have?" Scarlett comments. Topher grabbed his phone. "Let's see it!" Leonard flinched. "If you want me to demonstrate I'd most likely remove your affections for each other."

Ella looked scared. "You have an anti love spell?" She asks. "Well yeah. It allows me to fill or drain love from one's heart." He explains. "Although I don't really recommend this power." He admits. Suddenly there is a knock at the door. Scarlett turns around to see Dave was standing outside. "Guys. Dave's here!" She shouted. "Hide!" Leonard exclaims! As he and Topher hide Ella just shakes her head. "Isn't that rude?" She questions their behavior. "No!" Leonard says as Topher pulls her behind the T.V.

"Hello Dave." Scarlett said opening the door. "What brings you here?" "Well." Dave began. "First of all I'd like to apologize for my rudeness last night. It was uncalled for and I felt guilty afterwards." He said. "I bet he's lying." Leonard whispers. Topher shrugs. "Okay. Apology accepted." Scarlett replied.

"But the main reason I'm here is because I need your help." He said. "My help?" Scarlett asked. "Yes." Dave said. "Hear me out please. I think Leonard might've drugged Ella and/or Topher. So I want you to help me split them apart." He said with a grin. "Oh. Well I…" Scarlett started to say. "Yes I'm listening." Dave replied.

Scarlett didn't know exactly how she should respond. "Maybe it'd be best if we just let them be together." She said nervously. Dave frowned. "No way! This is my Ella we're talking about." He said. "Since when does Ella belong to you?" Scarlett asked. "We were on the same team in Pahkitew Island and now Sky is gone." He said.

Scarlett shrugged. "Why don't you try to start a relationship with Sugar instead?" She asked. "Ha!" Dave laughed hard for the next 7 seconds. Scarlett just crossed her arms and stared at him. Dave stopped after he realized that she was serious. "Because I'm not an idiot. Like Leonard."

"What the hell did he just say about me?" Leonard whispered angrily. "I can't tell." Ella responded at his tone. "Me neither." Topher added. "I'm not sure dating Sugar makes Leonard an idiot." Scarlett says in Leonard's defense. "Besides he split up with her." She added. Dave was losing his patience. "But he won't split Ella and Topher up and I need Topher out of my way." He said.

Scarlett sighed. "Fine. I'll help you investigate this." She said reluctantly. "Thanks and goodbye." Dave said before he walked away. Leonard looked a little nervous as he walked out. "What did you say to him?" He asked Scarlett. "Not much." She responded. "Come on let's proceed our meeting. Shall we?" They all sit back in their locations and continue where they left off.

"You're not actually going to help Dave are you?" Leonard said nervously. "Don't worry Leonard. I promise I won't lead him into hurting any of you." She said. "I don't trust him either." Topher said. Leonard raised his hand. "I've got an idea! Let's hire one of our friends to be our bodyguard." Ella looked at him with a questioning face. "Are you sure that's necessary?" She asked. Leonard looked back to her. "Got any better ideas?" Ella just shrugged.

"I've got it!" Topher exclaimed. "We'll hire Jasmine to watch our backs!" Leonard just shrugged in a questioning way. "Are you serious?" He asked. "Why not?" Ella asked him. Leonard didn't know how to say it so he just decided to be honest. "Well there's not really a polite way to say it. But… I just don't really like Jasmine." He mumbled but everyone could still understand him. "Why not?" Ella asked. Leonard thought for a few seconds and revealed his truth.

"On Pahkitew Island Jasmine was weaker than everyone sees her as." He stated. "Starting from Episode 3 she can't even win one challenge. Ella getting disqualified in Episode 6 doesn't count and in Episode 9 Shawn did all the work." Topher shrugged. "You're point is?" "My point is that even though she got 4th place she should've gotten kicked off in either Episode 3, 5, 6, or 9, because she couldn't win any challenges alone."

After Leonard finished they all stared at him. "Fine. She was still a more serious player than me." Leonard admitted. Ella raises an eyebrow. "And Ella." Leonard said. Topher grins at him. "And Topher!" Leonard exclaimed. "But not Scarlett! So tell you what. Scarlett, what do you think?" He asked her. "I'm not really comfortable trusting anyone I tried to kill." She said. "Maybe someone else?" She asked. "We can trust Samey." Ella stated.

Topher suddenly remembered his experience with them. "Not a good idea." He said. "I lost my virginity to one of them." Leonard was curious. "Which twin?" He asked. "I don't know." Topher admitted blushing a bit. "I think Amy because the other twin enter the room as it was happening and they started to fight." "Well I'm sorry it didn't work out." Scarlett said. "I know. Their mom liked me." Topher said.

Leonard thought for a second. "Rodney maybe?" "No!" Scarlett exclaimed. Everyone stared at her. "I cannot go back to him. He takes one look at a girl and then he doesn't turn away." She said. "Do you think I should help him get a girlfriend?" Leonard asked. "We can worry about that later." Scarlett says. "Anyone left?" Ella asked. "I'm out." Topher replied. "Wait!" Leonard exclaimed.

"Maybe Beardo can help us." He said. "Only if he can talk to us." Topher responded. "He's my best friend." Leonard stated. "If Dave wants to try to screw up our relationships he'll have to get through Beardo." Scarlett shrugged. "Okay I'm calling him!" Leonard said as he turns on his phone.

Meanwhile at Beardo's house he had music on and was playing guitar. "Huh?" He sees his phone flashing. "Oh shit!" Beardo says before he runs around the room and unplugs his stereos. "Okay." He grabs his phone. "Hello?"

"Hello Beardo it is Leonard." Leonard said. "Oh hi pal. How's life treating you?" Beardo asked. "Fantastic!" Leonard said. "I developed an actual spell and got a girlfriend without it." "No way! Are you serious?" Beardo asked. "Heck yeah!" Leonard exclaimed. "Who is it?" He asked. Leonard turned aside and waved at Scarlett.

"It's Scarlett!" Leonard said happily. "Wait. Scarlett? You don't mean-" Beardo started to say before getting cut off. "Yes! The Scarlett from Pahkitew!" He said. "Are you sure that-" Leonard interrupts again. "Yes. She's changed her ways. She actually looked pretty sad last night so multiple things happened. "Okay." Beardo said. "What do you need me for?"

Leonard wasn't sure how to say this. "We need a bodyguard." Beardo imitates a shocking sound. "Why?" He asked. "Because using my spell I got Topher and Ella together and now Dave is trying to get Topher out of his way because he likes Ella as well. And knowing Dave he'll most likely hurt either of them to get what he wants. Remember what he did to Sky at the end?" "Yes. I understand." Beardo said. "Will you do it?" Leonard asked. Beardo chuckled. "Sure pal." "Thanks. Bye." Leonard hung up.

"So is he on our side?" Topher asks. "You bet he is." Leonard said. "Good. I think that's all so we should probably head out now." Topher said as he got up. "Wait!" Ella exclaimed. "I have one more question." "What is it?" Scarlett questioned. "Are you sure your family left you?" Ella asked. "They left a note." Scarlett grabbed the note. "Here it is." She hands it to her.

Ella read the note out loud. "Sorry Scarlett but we moved out of the house after we learned your true nature. We hope you enjoy your life and have fun with 'world domination'. -Love Mom, Dad, and Harold." Ella almost cried. "I'm so sorry to hear this." She said. "Wait." Topher flinched. "Harold is your brother?" He asked. "Yes." Scarlett said. "He and I used to fight a lot."

Leonard grabbed the note. "Wow. No offense, but your parents have some pretty weak handwriting." Scarlett frowned. "I already know this." "Well I'm sorry to hear that. Scarlett." Topher said. "But I hope you realize that's not the end of the world." "I had plenty of time to realize that." Suddenly there is a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" Leonard asks.

Cliffhanger! This was probably the most important chapter so far and I hope you liked it. I already have some more parts of the story and I'll get to those soon.
