Chapter 2: Dolphin, Dolphin, Dolphin
Dolphin hadn't talked to Sam in awhlie, and she missed him. However she knew that as evil as Oprah was, she kinda had a point. We all had to be independent in life. We had to... see things out for ourselves, see the world beyond love and glomps and hugs and puppy rainbow dog kisses. We had to... test ourselves.
It's what our friends really want for us, anyway.
However, Dolphin couldn't help but care about people. She was a Mary Sue, the star of the series. She had so many people that wanted to be her facebook friend, that apologized to her shamefully if they did the slightest harm. The cute shy girl from a small town, the one who wanted to be a ballerina, Dolphin, ever the human... walked the streets of her college campus, smiling at the passersby.
"If only they knew I'm also a demon fighter. Would they like me more or less?" she thought. She grinned through the fake smiles. She thought about being bitchy sometimes at the people, but held it in. She sighed and went past through her many fans. Even signed a few autographs. "You know guys I'm not all that great!" Dolphin said in the cutest squeakiest voice ever. "I get vain sometimes. All I want is positive attention. And sometimes I will defend sociopaths and demons thinking they can change with my straight female empathy; but it's actually Sam who is the hero."
"Yeah but we don't like him quite as much as we like you" a random suburban soccer mom said from the audience. "He gets a bit too haughty and judgemental or something...."
Dolphin smiled. "Sam is wonderful, and so are you. I just..."
"OH MY GOD DOLPHIN SAID I WAS WONDERFUL!" the fan girl said, shrieking.
Dolphin laughed. "You know, it might mean more to Sam if you treated him this way. I know he has the social skills of a gnat but you can't say his heart is in the wrong place..." she said.
"FUCK SAM, DOLPHIN IS HERE!" The crowd kept cheering, Dolphin kept grinning sheepishly.
wookie suddenly put her arm around Dolphin. She led her friend away from the crowd of fanboys for awhile, knowing that she needed a break. "It feels good to be liked, right?" She saw Dolphin's mixed expression on her face. "Sort of at least..."
"Yeah I'm often the queen of the gay pride parade" Dolphin said. "You think Fen is jealous?"
"Horribly so...." wookie said with a wink.
"I feel guilty" Dolphin said. She could never not be loveable.
"Yeah how can we make it up to her?" wookie said all compassinate lesbian-like.
Demiya was stalking Dolphin from behind a tree, watching her every move. This time Demiya was wearing a black leather jacket and a hot pink mini-skirt. "Jesus Christ, does this bitch EVER detach herself from other people?" Demiya glared. "Fucking empathy... I just need to get her alone so I can go for the attack..."
"I'll think of something. Maybe" Dolphin said. "It's hard to influence people's emotions but I'm good at it. I'm good at A LOT of things. If I just work hard and try!" She slapped herself, realizing she was sounding like an Oprah manual. "Haha er...." Dolphin and wookie looked at each other and smiled.
"Well I have to use the little girl's room now..." Dolphin said, excusing herself. She walked in a secluded part of campus, in an outdoor bathroom thingie that didn't have any witnesses.
Demiya grinned. It was the perfect place.
