A New Writer's Block

Luna, Cori, Kyuubi and I were sitting on a bench at O'Conner Park, wearing our jackets and some of us wearing hats and scarves and gloves. We all sighed as we sat there bored with nothing to do. We also took in the fact that it was Valentine's Day; the worst day of the year for us.
"God I hate Valentine's Day," I said suddenly. "It just reminds I can't get a girlfriend."
"Yeah, well, that's life," Luna sighed. "I mean, we're just four nerds on deviantART. Who's gonna wanna go out with us?
"Yeah…" we all sadly agreed.
"Hey, where's Saarah?" Cori asked.
"I think she's at her house," Kyuubi answered. "Maybe we should go see what she's up to."
"Beats sitting here and freezing here to death," I said.

-

We all headed toward Saarah's house. Kyuubi rang the doorbell, and I looked at the palm tree next to her home. "Man, I want palm trees near my home," I muttered.
"Well, this is Florida," Luna reminded me.
"How did we just get from New Jersey to Florida in so little time?" Cori wondered.
"My story. I can make trips short if I want," I told her.
Just then, a depressed looking Saarah came out from her house. She stared at us a smiled. "Oh, hey guys. You as bummed about Valentine's Day as me?"
"Yeah…" we all responded.
"So, I take it you didn't get a date either?" Kyuubi asked.
"Pfft, yeah right. Think about it. Would ANYONE wanna go out with a Nicktoons Nerd? Yeah that's right, the one who draws at lunch." Saarah sighed, sat down, and leaned against the palm tree.
Then, a small girl, who looked about 4 to 5 years old, came dashing out of the house. She jumped up and down in excitement and yelled, "Saarah, Saarah! Danny Phantom's- " She paused at looked at Cori, Luna, Kyuubi and I. "Who are they?" The girl scanned the lawn for Saarah, who was no longer there, and went inside for her favorite Nicktoon.
"Um…who are you?" I asked.
"I asked first!" the little girl reminded me.
"OK, fine. I'm Chris; this is Luna, Cori and Kyuubi. We're Saarah's friends."
"Why you gotta introduce me last?" Kyuubi said, insulted.
"Well, I don't see how it-Whatever." I turned back to the little girl. "Who are you?"
"My name is Iman! I'm Saarah's little sister, duh!"
"Oh. Well, let's go check on Saarah."
The five of us entered Saarah's home and found Saarah on her couch, watching Danny Phantom. "Frightmare, yes! I love Danny, he's so hot…" Saarah turned around and was horrified to see us. "Uh…um…You didn't hear that!"
We all made different noises, that kind of sounded like "Yeah, sure" or "Yeah, whatever" as we joined her on the couch. We watched Danny Phantom for a while until I came up with an idea.
"Hey, how about tonight we have just a Friend's Night Out?" I suggested.
"Sounds great!" Saarah responded.
"Yeah, sure beats sitting home alone Valentine's Day night," Luna said.
"Who needs dates anyway?" Cori joked.
We all started to laugh, until soon our laughter broke into uncontrollable sobbing. Iman just looked at us, confused.
Later that afternoon, we started walking down the sidewalk, thinking of what to do that night. "We should go see a movie," Kyuubi suggested.
"Which one?" Luna asked.
"Maybe Percy Jackson."
"Eh, that doesn't seem something I would like," I said.
"Well, what about Valentine's Day?"
"Oh, right, watch Valentine's Day when we're trying to forget about Valentine's Day. Great idea," Cori said sarcastically.
"Yeesh, it was just a suggestion."
We stopped at the corner of the sidewalk. "How about we got to Friday's?" I said.
"Yeah, that'll work," Luna replied.
"Well, it's almost night," Saarah pointed out. "I think we can walk there in time by then. Let's-"
"The rain is comin'," a voice interjected.
We all turned around to the voice, and we stared wide eyed at a fat, tan, shirtless man with a pot on his head, leaning against a building and staring at us weird and creepily.
"Look folks, the rain is comin'! It's about to rain. It's about to rickety quake, rickety rainus!"
The man stopped leaning on the building and started dancing and snapping his fingers, singing "The rain is comin'!" over and over again. We started to slowly step backwards, until we just started to dart across the street.

Later, at Friday's, we were all talking and laughing and having a good time. I wasn't talking, however, (Trust me, if you knew me in real life this would not be a shock) as I was playing Ace Attorney Investigations.
"I'm no expert on this, but I don't think you should be playing DS in a restaurant," Saarah said to me.
"Yeah, yeah, noise, noise," I sighed.
After that, our nachos arrived. We all started to pick at them immediately. After chopping down on some nachos for a while, we noticed a couple at the booth next to us. "Ugh, look at that," Kyuubi said in disgust.
"It makes me sick," Luna added.
"It just makes me want to end this scene leaving a few questions unanswered but not any questions that you would need answered and leaving it so that I could maybe finish this scene some other time," I rambled.
"Wait…what-"

-

Later, we sat on a bench next to the entrance of the Friday's, depressed about Valentine's Day…again.
"Valentine's Day sucks," Cori said suddenly.
"Yeah, good thing the actual Valentine's Day was six days ago," Saarah said.
"Yeah…" We all sighed.
"…Well this was a terrible pilot," I stated.
Crappy late Valentine's Day everyone!
:iconcommentplz:!!!

Welcome to the pilot of Life in the Gallery! A re-boot of my Writer's Block saga.
Life in the Gallery is a tale about five teenage Nicktoons Nerds on deviantART. Their accounts are :iconjusttosee123::icononlytoeto::iconnicktoongrl::iconnicktoonacle:and:iconcrazykyuubi: Some are successful, some...not so much. Join them as they struggle with deviantART, school, and just plain life.

Sorry for calling you guys Nicktoons Nerds. xD Plus I'm sure not ALL of you are lonely...ya know, maybe.
Sorry this is seriously late. Why is that, you ask? Because I procrastinated. And procrastination makes perfect!

Actually, nobody at school or at home knows I'm a nicktoons nerd. :shrug: But that's cause I keep everything on a down low. :paranoid:
Valentines Day it burns! :onfire:
