Hello! This is my first Star Ocean fic, so bear with me, kay? Ummm, this insane idea came to me out of nowhere, I thought it funny, so I did this, and here ya go! There are spoilers in this.
Of teddy bears and hair dyes.
Albel shook his head and sat up, he had been woken by a loud commotion coming outside his room, true, he was a light sleeper, but even he needed some sleep. Angrily, he got out of bed and changed into his usual tight-as-could-be purple crop top, reviling-as-could-be skirt and (plain ridiculous,) thigh-high boots, before storming out to see what was going on. He had barely taken one step out of his room when an apple pie came sailing through the air towards him, luckily he ducked just in time, turning his glaring gaze to the offender, he saw Maria, looking shocked and scared at the look on his face, holding a second pie, "Oh my god! Albel! I'm so sorry, I thought you were Cliff!" Albel's eyes narrowed, taking a step towards her,
"Oh, so you think I look like that muscle-head, do you worm?" He snarled, Maria winced and took a few steps back,
"Well.. I, um, no, I don't, umm, HEY, look, blueberries!" Albel's mouth watered as he spun on the spot to find his favourite food, upon finding none, he turned back to Maria, ready to kill her on the spot, finding the spot in question, empty,
"Grrrrrr…….. Maggot….." He was having a VERY bad day, and it wasn't good when Albel Nox had a bad day…
(Meanwhile)
Cliff was panting as he sped round another corridor into the main hallway of the group's semi-permanent home in Peterny, "Phew, that was close." He straightened up and walked into the kitchen where he found Nel and Fayt already at the table eating sugar puffs, Fayt looked up,
"Cliff, your not normally up so early, what's wrong?" Cliff shifted uncomfortably and mumbled,
"Want, who said I wanted anything, I just happened to get up now and ummm…" Nel's eyes narrowed in an Albelish manner, "Come on, spill, what have you done this time, you better not have cut Sophia's hair again."
"Hey, that was accidental!" Nel snorted, "And anyway, I haven't, I umm, sort of…to... ia's… dy bea…" Nel rolled her eyes and said,
"Look, just tell us in a COHERRENT language." Cliff bit his lip took a deep breath and said,
"I tore Maria's teddy bear." Fayt laughed,
"Well that's not that bad, as long as it wasn't the pink and yellow one" Cliff said nothing, "Oh dear, Cliff, how could you do something like that, that bear is like Maria's child!" Cliff was close to breaking point,
"I didn't mean to! I was just using the punch bag and I didn't realise the bag was the e bear, then Maria came in, and she… she…" He mumbled something and both Nel and Fayt gasped, " I know, it was horrible!"
"Cliff, that was Markwell's favourite creation! How could Maria throw his misconceived product at you?" Cliff scowled, Nel grinned, "I mean, how could she, the nerve-" At that precise moment, Maria came charging into the room, and a deathly silence fell.
(Back to Albel)
Albel had gone to the sparring room, to slash a few teddy bear-shaped dummies, he was quite content in his killing and maiming of the fluff balls until a high-pitched squeal made his head ache, "Hey, you, have you seen Fayt?" Sophia bounded towards him, a stupid grin plastered on her face,
"I assure you wench, if I had seen that fool, I would not tell you anyway." Sophia's features changed into full-scale pout mode.
"Aww, your really mean, I mean, even Cliff isn't that mean, and he cut my hair off, that was really mean, and Mirage is nice, I mean, she isn't mean at all, but you just take mean to a new level, you-" Albel's eyebrow was twitching through her speech, until he finally turned and gave her a classic bitch slap across her face, Sophia's lip trembled and she ran off crying, "Just you wait you big meanie! I'll set Fayt on you!" Albel smirked and decided on breakfast.
(In the kitchen)
Maria pointed a trembling finger at Cliff who was cowering in the corner, "YOU! How dare you, I'm gonna alter your ass off!" Cliff let put a girly scream, but was saved by Fayt, who leapt in front of him,
"Come on, Maria, calm down, it was only a teddy bear-" Maria turned red,
"ONLY A TEDDY BEAR! I thought you'd be on my side, you loved Mr. Twinkles too! Now move!" Nel sighed and walked over to Maria,
"Look, if you promise not to circumcise Cliff, I'll buy you a bigger bear, ok?" Maria looked deep in thought for about half n hour before,
"Ok, Yey! Thanks Nel! And you!" She glared daggers at Cliff, who cowered again, "Never use my toys as bunch bags again!" Cliff nodded and ran out of the room, and just as Albel walked through the same door, Maria launched another apple pie into the air. No one seemed to breathe, Maria clapped a hand to her mouth and fought hard not to laugh, Fayt was staring at Albel's face in shock and Nel's mouth was twitching. Albel took a deep breath and wiped of the remains of the pie off his face, before exploding,
"YOU STUPID MAGGOT, EVIL WRETCH! I'M GONNA MAKE YPOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN, YOU-" Fayt and Nel had edged out of the room, leaving Maria all alone,
"Albel, if you forgive me, I'll give you a whole blueberry pie." Albel stopped his stream of insults and his eyes glazed over at the mention of the sweetest of sweet fruits,
"……….. Fine, but it better have chocolate sauce!" Maria nodded quickly and gave him the hugest pie in the kitchen, along with some sauce,
"Here, um, I'm gonna go now, so umm… yeah…" She hurried out of the room leaving the pie and Albel alone.
(Albel's bedroom)
Maria had headed for her offender's room, holding a bottle she stole from Nel, "He he he, this will teach Albel." Her voice had become manic and spooky. She went into the bathroom, took Albel's blueberry scented shampoo and put the bottle in its place before sneaking back to her room, laughing manically.
(Nel's room)
Nel was humming the Care Bears theme tunes as she began the monthly chore of dying her hair from the blonde it normally was, to the bright pink it normally is, but just as she reached for her hair dye, she found the bottle missing, "Hey, where's my pink dye?"
he he he, I am so mean to Albel, but to all you Albel-lovers out there I love him too, he he, pink hair dye, he he he (Manic laughter) PLEASE REVIEW!
