“Leave him alone!” Wendy yelled as she ran up to Colin trying to pull him away.
“S-Stay back!” Colin yelled as the crackling pink energy ran across his body.
“What the hell?” Wendy said as she watched Colin gleam like a neon pink floodlight.
Colin didn’t want this to happen.
First Lisa….
Then Yuri….
No.
NOT THIS TIME!
Colin curled his body inward as he strained against the burning pink heat running across his body.
“RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!” He bellowed as the surge of pink energy imploded in a massive flash.
The whole store shuddered violently as the lights flickered.
“What happened?!” Chet yelled as he ran over to Wendy.
Wendy panicked “I-I don’t know, Colin was getting grabbed and-“
A heap of fallen boxes suddenly pushed over as a figure slinked out from underneath it.
“Excuse me sir, have you seen… one of my… workers?” Chet said as he dropped his iPad.
“…Colin?” Wendy asked with flushed cheeks.
“….I’m okay, just a… a cramp! Yeah, that’s it, a cramp!” He awkwardly chuckled.
Chet stayed silent as Wendy stared absolutely slack jawed.
“What’s going on- WOAH.” Marc said as he entered the aisle.
“Hey what’s goin’ - hello….” Olivia grinned.
“Now wha- what the hell?” Ronnie added.
Colin just stood there as everyone looked at him.
“What?” He asked.
He looked down and jumped.
Lindsay stood up as Colin looked down.
‘I’m that tall now?!’ He thought as Lindsay wrapped her arms around her.
“Mmmm… Lindsay likey…” she sighed as she ran her hand across his abs.
Colin pushed her off in a single shove.
‘I didn’t need any help at all!’ Colin said as he flexed his arm.
“What did I miss?” Tina asked as she entered the aisle.
The goth looked over to her boyfriend and turned redder than a ripened strawberry.
“I’m gonna get back to work now…” Colin said as he walked away.
************************************************
Sam opened the door as Wendy and Tina stood there blushing and staring at the floor.
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Sam asked.
“Something… happened at work.” Wendy said.
“Wait, where’s Colin?” Shara asked.
“About that…” Tina paused.
“Is he hurt?” Christy asked.
“Did you do something?!” Lucy shouted accusingly.
There was another knock at the door.
“Brace yourselves.” Tina said as she opened the door.
The whole apartment fell silent as Colin stepped through the door.
“Hi there!” Colin nervously smiled.
Everyone just stood there absolutely awestruck before ushering him to the bedroom….
