Gobo's secret admirer

[Fraggleforever]

Sorry about the long pause everybody. Christmas break. And by the way, I just picked a name for her. Alrighty, where was I? Oh yes....
Chapter 4

"Great game Red!" Gobo said after the game was finished.
Red looked at him and gave him the cold shoulder, and walked away.
"What's with her?" Trish asked.
"I have no idea. Well, it was nice meeting you Trish, but I have to go now. I'll see ya later." Gobo started walking to his private cave, after nibbling on a Doozer construction.
Someone silently whispered, "It was really nice meeting you Gobo."
"Hi Gobo!"
"Oh, hi Wembley."
"Did you talk to the Trasheap?"
"The wha......oh yeah! I did. We got it straightened out."
"What did she say?"
Gobo tried to remember, and finally did.
"In a game of hide and seek, nobody can hide forever."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, but the Trasheap said it, and she's always right."
"I guess. Hey, you have something sticking out of your shirt."
"Huh?" Gobo reached over and grabbed what was sticking out of his shirt. It was, sure enough, another secret admirer note.
"Gobo Gobo number nine,
you're so nice and you're so kind,
I will love you till the end of time,
Gobo Gobo number nine.
I love you Gobo."
Gobo couldn't believe it. His admirer must've been on his team for Fraggleball, but there were too many to count.
"Secret admirer again?"
"Yeah. This is getting mysterious."
Gobo sat down on his bed and strummed on his guitar for a little bit.
But then, Gobo noticed there was some more writing on the back of the little slip of paper.
"I will see you at the dance, my love. Meet me at the love rock, and you shall see who I am."
"Wembley, is there going to be a dance?"
"Why sure Gobo. Every Fraggle in the universe is going to be there." Wembley chuckled. "Maybe even your "girlfriend"!
Gobo half heartedly chuckled. He was finally going to see his secret admirer.

Chapter 5

Wembley and Gobo were getting ready for the big dance. Gobo put on a white shirt, and a black jacket over it. Wembley just put on a bowtie that was very similar to his bananna tree shirt he was wearing.
"Wembley, don't you have any dress up clothes?"
"Well....not really. This is the only nice thing I have."
"Oh yeah....I forgot."
"Something on your mind Gobo?"
"Well.....I'll tell you later. Hey, did you hire a band for tonight?"
"You bet! It was a struggle, but I booked them."
"Who did you get?"
"You'll just have to wait and see."
And so, Gobo and Wembley went off to the great hall to the dance.

At the great hall, every fraggle in the universe was there, chatting excitedly. Just then, a familiar musical note played in the air.
Around the corner, the fraggles could see that familiar magic pipe, with Cantus behind it and playing it. Behind him, was his faithful minstrels. And Cantus began to sing.
"Music grows in the rose,
rock and rain and the blowing snowstorm.
Everything seems to sing, everywhere I go.
I say one, two, play me do,
let me sound as sweet as you.
Play me wide, play me loooooong......
let me be your soooooooong."
Cantus stopped and looked around.
"Where do we set up?"
Gobo was stunned.
"Wembley, is that the band you hired?"
"I told you it was a struggle to get them."
Wembley rushed over to Cantus and pointed to where he and his minstrels would be playing for the rest of the night.
The minstrels set up, and were ready to play.
"Hail fraggles!"
"HAIL CANTUS!" Was the huge response to his call.
"At this time, we would like to perform a old favorite, to get things started. Fraggles have been singing it for centuries, but it has no name. We just call it, Fraggle Rock."
The familiar bass line was played, followed by a guitar solo, then all the minstrels joined in, with Cantus singing.
"Dance your cares away,
worries for another day,
let the music play,
down in Fraggle Rock!"
The fraggles started dancing franticly to this simple song, and even Boober started break dancing.
At the instrumental part, Gobo and Wembley started scatting to the beat.
"This is fun Gobo!"
"You got that right pal!"
After a few minutes, every fraggle sang the last few lines.
"Down in Fraggle Rock!
Down in Fraggle Rock!
Down in Fraggle Rock!"
Boober stopped break dancing and screamed,
"DOWN IN FRAGGLE ROCK!!"
With that, the final note was played. The fraggles gave the minstrels a standing ovation, and started chatting amongst themselves again.
With nobody looking, Gobo looked at the note again, and sneaked off to love rock.

Chapter 6

Gobo headed down the tunnel toward love rock, which wasn't easy to find. But being a explorer, it was a piece of cake for him. He finally reached it, and observed it. It was a rather large rock, in a rough shape of a heart, with flowers all over it.
"This has Mokey all over it." thought Gobo to himself. He waited a few minutes, but nobody else was around.
"Hmm....maybe this was all a joke." said Gobo. He started to walk away, until he heard somebody say,
"Hey there, cute stuff."
Gobo turned around and gasped. He finally saw his admirer face to face.
"It was you all along."
It was Trish Fraggle, in a green dress, and she had a huge grin on her face.
"I knew a smart explorer like you would figure it out sooner or later."
Gobo was stunned. He finally knew who she was, but didn't know what to do next.
"Uhh.....so you are my secret admirer?"
"Bingo."
Gobo sat down on the ledge of love rock, with Trish sitting down next to him.
Trish snuggled against him and asked,
"I thought perhaps a certain fraggle would as a certain girl fraggle to dance."
Gobo edged away nervously.
"Oh...uh....you don't want to dance with me."
"Why not?" Trish snuggled against him again.
"Well, I'm rather clumsy. I may step on your feet."
"I don't mind."
Gobo tugged his shirt collar nervously. But he was getting less nervous as time went by.
"Hey Gobo, you want to play a game?"
"OK."
"Great! Let's play Hidey ho. I'll be it."
Gobo smiled a little bit.
"Alright. Start counting."
Trish closed her eyes and began counting. Gobo got up and ran to hide somewhere.
She finished counting and blindfolded herself, and began to say "Hidey" in a flirtatious voice.
"Hidey!"
Gobo was hiding behind a stalactite.
"Ho!"
She started going in the other direction.
"Hidey!"
"Ho!"
This went on for a few more minutes, until Gobo couldn't hear her anymore.
"Oh no, I better find her."
He followed the echos of "hidey" until he saw a sign that said,
"Danger, falling rock zone."
Gobo gasped. He ran off after Trish.
"Trish! Don't go in there! It's a falling rock zone!!"
The next few moments seemed to go by like hours for Gobo.
He heard rocks falling from the ceiling, and a scream that followed soon after.
"TRISH!!"
After the rocks stopped falling, Gobo dug into the huge pile of rocks in a desperate attempt to find Trish. He finally found her, but she was in bad shape.
".....Gobo.....I....I..."
"Don't say anything Trish. I'll get you out of here."
"I.....I love you Gobo.......[gasp]"
With that, she breathed her final breath.
"Trish? TRISH?? TRISH!!!" Gobo was fighting back the tears. He finally realized she was dead.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Gobo closed her eyes.
Then, he picked her up, and headed to the great hall.

 

[theprawncracker]

Whoa...I...I...I totally didn't see that coming...Whoa...That's...Whoa...Awesome...But...Whoa...

 

[Fraggleforever]

I'm sorry guys. But keep reading, it will get better.

Chapter 7

A few days later, there was a funeral for Trish fraggle. This was the first time in recent memory that there was a funeral for someone. Every fraggle had attended, with Cantus being the head of the ceremony.
"She may be gone, but her music will live on in all of us."
He began to play a sad melody on his magic pipe while the casket was lowered into the ground. Everyone was crying, except for Gobo. He was too numb to cry.
A few months passed, and everyone started to get back to their lives. Wembley ran into his and Gobo's private cave, holding a fraggle racket.
"Hey Gobo, do you want to play some fraggle tennis?"
Gobo just looked on into space, not saying anything.
Boober, Mokey, and Red poked their heads into the cave, waiting for a report from Wembley. Wembley walked over to them.
"He's still the same. He just won't forgive himself."
Red had enough. She walked into the cave and looked at Gobo.
"Look Gobo, it has been five months. There wasn't anything you could do about it. She's in a better place now."
Gobo looked at Red coldly. He replied in a quiet tone.
"If it wasn't for me, she would still be here. If it wasn't for me, she would still be alive."
"But Gobo...."
"BUT NOTHING!!! I WISH SHE HAD NEVER MET ME!!! IN FACT, I WISH I DIDN'T EXIST!!!!"
Wembley put his hand on Gobo's shoulder, but Gobo shook it off.
He stormed out of the cave, not letting them see the tears in his eyes.
Wembley, Red, Mokey, and Boober didn't have anything to say. But they all thought the same thing.
"Poor Gobo."
Gobo walked into the cave of the deceased fraggles. The last time he was in there was the time for the funeral. He walked up to Trish's tombstone, which was next to his great uncle Gobo's.
"Trish....I......I wish we didn't play that stupid game. I wish that......"
Then suddenly, miraclelike, a ghostlike figure came before Gobo, but it wasn't a ghost at all. It was the spirit of Trish fraggle.
"TRISH!!!"
"Hi cute stuff."
"Oh Trish, I'm so sorry.....I...."
Trish put up her hand in front of Gobo's face.
"I forgive you Gobo. It wasn't your fault. You must forgive yourself."
"But I can't."
"You must Gobo. Don't worry, I'm in a better place. It is like Fraggle Rock, but there are alot more fraggles, and alot more radishes."
"Trish, I....I love you."
"I love you too Gobo. Remember......I forgive you......so forgive yourself."
With that, the spirit of Trish vanished into the air.
Gobo couldn't move. Did he see what he thought he saw?
Just then, he heard something behind him. It was Red, Mokey, Wembley and Boober.
"H...h...hi guys."
"Hi Gobo." Replied Red.
"Are you all right?"
Gobo started to tear up.
"I'm alright now."
Red walked up to him and gave him a huge hug. Gobo started sobbing uncontrollibly. Five months of anger towards himself, sadness, and guilt rushed out in his tears. He finally forgave himself.
Boober, Mokey, and Wembley went up to them and formed a big group hug, comforting Gobo.
It was a long time before the five moved from that spot. Then, when Gobo stopped crying, they stopped hugging, and the five walked away side by side.
The end.
