That's Why I Love You: A Marshall x Everest Collection

Friends (Part 4)

"Everest!"

Marshall ran through the people gathered in the party trying to find Everest, looking in every corner of the room.

"Everest! Where are you?!" He shouted desperately, but got no answer. Everest was nowhere to be found.

After Melissa accused them in front of everyone in the party, and after Marshall shut her up doing something he didn't think he could do, Everest ran away from him. Even if he tried to follow her, he just lost her for a second to not find her anymore.

"Where are you, Everest...?" He thought, taking a look to the room. She wasn't in the dance floor, nor in the food table, or even with the bride.

While he was searching in the party, almost in the entrance, he saw two of his friends talking. Well, more like arguing than talking.

"We shouldn't have told Melissa all that." Zuma said, looking in shame at the empty glass on his paw as Rocky, on the other side, glared at him and rolled his eyes.

"I told you I didn't want to involve myself in it. Why you never listen?" Rocky said angrily.

"We couldn't do anything, that girl is scary!" Zuma whined, lowering his head again. "I wonder what happened after we told her..."

Rocky was about to say something when a voice stopped him.

"Zuma! Rocky!"

Both shivered hearing Marshall's voice calling them, expecting from him to be angry after what they did. After gulping, they slowly turned their heads with a nervous smile to face him.

"H-Hey Marshall." Both said nervously. Marshall stopped in front of them, but got confused by their looks.

"D-Dude, we are really sorry about-"

"Have you seen Everest?!" Marshall almost shouted, turning his head to the left and right, still searching for her. Both looked with confused faces to each other, then again to Marshall.

"Everest? Wasn't she with you?" Rocky inquired, making Marshall paralyze for a second, not knowing how to answer.

"Well, she was, but she ran away after I-... well..." Marshall's face flushed recalling what he did. "After I..."

"After you what?"

"... kissed her."

Soon, their expressions changes from confused to jaw-dropped. "Y-You what?!" Both cried out loud in total shock, making some people turn around, but they didn't care. "When?! How?! Then why'd she ran away?!" Rocky kept asking.

"Are you two a couple now?" Zuma inquired a little excited about two of his friends finally together.

Even if Marshall was willing to answer those questions, he knew he had something to do now. "I'll explain you other day, now I have to find her." He said in a serious and worried tone. Both calmed down seeing him act like this.

While Rocky and Zuma was trying to remind if they've seen something, one of them finally did it.

"I got it!" Zuma exclaimed, making Marshall immediately stare at him. "I've just seen a couple of minutes ago someone running outside with a light blue dress, like the one Everest was wearing. Maybe it was her." He said.

"Did you see where she was going?"

"Follow the rocks path; she was heading in direction to a wooden bridge." He continued, pointing to the door.

"Oh, thanks guys! You're the best!" Marshall shouted already running in direction to the principal door. Zuma and Rocky stood thinking for a moment.
