Hiya people! So to tell you the truth I only have a vague idea about how this is going to all play out. But I always get good ideas while I'm writing, so we'll just have to see as I write it.

Pros And Cons Of Being Famous.
Chapter One-
Annoying Phone Calls.
Have you ever been so scared you couldn't move? so scared that you couldn't do anything to help yourself? So scared that all you wanted to do was cry until it all went away? If you answered no to all these questions, then you have no idea how I'm feeling right now.
I screamed as I was thrown down to the street, my head colliding with the concrete. I squeezed my eyes shut against the pain. I felt rough hands push me onto my back then pined my hands above my head. I tried screaming out but a hand was shoved over my mouth. I did the only thing that I thought would let me get away, I kicked upwards as hard as I could. The hands let go of my wrists and I used them to shove the guy closest to me. I got up but was forced back to the ground when someone tackled me.
"Sorry babe, but you're not going anywhere." he whispered in my ear menacingly.
Okay so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, this isn't where are story is supposed to begin. Let's go back a little ways shall we?
...Rewinding sound...
"Mama what's sex?"
Okay, not that far! No one wants to know how my mother explained sex to me. Ugh, mental shiver, that was bad. Let's just go to the day that changed everything.
...Fast-forwarding sound...
"Tyson Granger! I'm going to fucking gut you like a fish! Then I'll strangle you with your large intestines!" Kai growled as he stomped into the living room where Max, I and the soon to be gutted fish were on the floor playing slap(1). We all stared at him before Tyson jumped up and started to run out of the room, Kai right on his heels. I sighed and put down my cards, Max did the same but he looked out the door were our team mates had just left from.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" Max asked.
"Probably not, you know how Kai gets when Tyson gets him mad."
"You're right, maybe I should go and stop him before he kills Ty." Max jumped up to his feet and ran after the two. I lifted my arms up and put them behind my head as I leaned back against the couch. I sighed again, but this time happily. It's been a long time since I just sat and thought. It felt nice, it felt like nothing could bother me.
Ring.
I stand corrected. I groaned out loud. No, I don't care,
Ring.
I don't. I am not getting it, it can ring for ages for all I care.
Ring.
And looky here, I still don't care. I heard a click that told me that the answering machine turned on.
"This is Max, Ray, Tyson and... Kai? Where are you going? get back here and say your name! Beep" I shook my head at our ridiculous message. I couldn't believe that Tyson had expected Kai to say his name like the rest of us had.
"Ray Kon you little bastard, I know you're there! So pick up the damn phone!" Tala yelled into the phone.
"Oh shut up Tala." I grumbled, still not making a move for the phone.
"Do not tell me to shut up Kon! Just pick up the phone!"
"How the hell did you know I said that?"
"Because I'm a Jedi Master, will you just freaking pick up the freaking phone?"
I growled then got up and slowly made my way to the phone. "Come on gramps, I'm not getting any younger here." I glared down at the phone then picked it up.
"What do you want Tala?" I said in a monotone voice.
"Aww, come on now, that wasn't very nice."
"What do you want Tala?" I repeated still in the dead voice.
"Jeez, what's up your ass?"
"Nothing,-"
"Well there's your problem right there!"
"If you were here, I would hit you!" I growled.
"Oh calm down, I was only joking, even though it would probably make your night better."
"TALA!" I heard him laugh on the other side of the phone. "Tala if the only reason why you called all the way from Russia was to laugh at the fact that I haven't gotten laid in only the gods knows how long then-"
"How about never?"
" I swear I'm going to hang up on you, you little bastard!"
"Hmm, you're yelling on the phone. That could either mean Mariah's on the phone or Tala is." Kai said walking back into the living room and siting on the couch closest to me and the phone.
"Is that my Kai-kins I hear?" Tala squeaked.
I rolled my eyes. "You know he would kill you if he found out you called him that."
"It's Tala isn't it?" Kai said.
I nodded my head. "Aww! He knows it's me! Put it on speaker phone!" I wanted to argue, but I knew there wouldn't be a point, he would win eventually. So I sighed and pushed the button for speaker phone. "Hey darling!" he shouted.
Kai rolled his eyes. "Hey Tala, hows it going?"
"Absolutely fantastic!"
"That's great, now what do you want?" Kai said in the same voice I had when I picked up the phone. I put my hands over my mouth to try and stop my laughing.
"Well you both are cheery today!" he said sarcastically.
"We were until you called, now why did you call again?" Kai said.
Tala huffed, I think he just about had enough of our nastiness. "I'll have both of you know that I called to see how far Ray has gotten in Operation cage the blue haired red bird."
My eyes widened and I jumped for the phone that I had placed on the coffee table and turned off the speaker phone. "Sorry! I'll just um, go to um, bye!" I sprinted out of the living room and into mine and Kai's room where I slammed the door shut. "What the fuck was that?" I yelled into the phone.
"Well you both were making fun of me so I thought I would get some pay back."
"Sure but not that kind of pay back you idjit!"
"Don't call me a, what the fuck did you just call me?"
"It doesn't matter! What matters is that you almost ruined, operation cage the blue haired red bird!" idiotic name I know, who do you think came up with it? You better not say me!
"Well Kai's dense, he wont figure it out."
I was silent for a moment, "dude you remember when we threw Kai that surprise birthday party?"
"The one he didn't show up to?"
"Ya that one. Why do you think he didn't come?"
" I thought that it was cause he was training?"
"For nine hours? I don't think so. It was cause he figured out that we were throwing him a party."
"Aw, but we tried so hard to keep it a secret!"
"Exactly! So even a little hint of something he will get it. I swear to the gods Tala, if he figures it out I'll kill you!"
"So it hasn't been going well?" he asked.
I sighed into the phone. "Sadly no. every time I want to tell him how I feel I can't because I blurt something else out that has nothing to do with the conversation! Then I try and lie to get out of me looking insane, but that doesn't work either because I'm a horrible liar!"
"Well chin up Ray, you'll tell him eventually."
"Dude you sound like the spider from Charlottes web."
"Who?" I heard some shouts in Russian in the background. "Ah crap, I gotta go, Bryan's getting horny."
"Too much information Tala."
More Russian shouting. "Sorry," Tala yelled back also in Russian, "we'll I'll talk to you later k?"
"Bye."
"Uvidimsia!" (2)
I flopped down on my bed and put my arm over my eyes. Damn Tala, coming with that stupid code name, damn the fact that I actually told him about my feelings for Kai, (I was drunk) and Damn the fact that I'm too much of a coward to tell Kai how I feel. Just, just plain dammit! I heard the door open and I moved my arm off my head to see.
"So, what's Operation cage the blue haired red bird?" Kai asked, leaning against the door frame.
"W-what? What a-are you t-talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about, so don' try and deny it"
"I-I really h-have no id-idea what y-you're talking a-about." I bit my tongue in aggravation. There's another thing the add to the things that are damned list! Damn my stuttering when I'm trying to lie!
Kai looked at me straight in the eye. I tried to holding his gaze, I really did. But it felt like his crimson eyes were looking right threw me, into my soul. Wow that's corny, okay let's settle with his stare was seriously making me nervous. I looked up at the ceiling, away from his interrogating gaze. The ceiling was safe, it was my friend, it wouldn't look at me at me and try and get information out of me. "Ray." Kai said. I felt my breath pick up as he started to walk over to me. I closed my eyes to try and calm myself. Why did I have to be such a bad liar! "Ray." Kai sat down and grabbed my hand and made circles with his thumb over my skin.
Shit. Fuck. Fucked shit. Shit fucked, fuck'ady shit. Fuck'ady shit? What kinds of swear word combination is that? Kai placed his other hand on my thigh, slowly moving it up. My eyes snapped open and I sat up slowly. I looked down at the moving hand. "Um, I g-gotta, um y-y should, t-train!" I jumped up. "I gotta go train! See ya, bye! Uvidimsia!" I said flinging myself towards the doorway, out into the hall. I ran all the way into the kitchen and slammed the door closed.
I put my hand on my neck as I tried to regain my breath. "Did I just say Uvidimsia? Dammit I did! I really hope that's some form of farewell." I said out loud. But what the hell was that all about? Why was he touching me like that? Was it cause he has feelings for me or was it just to get me to spill about what Operation cage the blue haired red bird? As much as I hoped it was the first one, I'm pretty sure it was the latter. I sighed heavily and pulled out Drigger from my pocket. "What am I going to do?" I asked him. I wasn't expecting an answer but I knew he had heard me. "Well, might as well go and train like I told him." I crossed the kitchen and walked out the other doorway leading out of the kitchen.
"Oh hey Ray, hows it going?" I looked up to see Tyson hanging by his boxers from the peek of the entrance archway.
"Hey Ray! Wanna help me try and get him down?" Max said, who was standing in the middle of the path looking up at Tyson.
I scratched the back of my head for a second. "Um, ya sure, but do you have any ideas?"
Max looked over his shoulder at me and grinned. "Ya, but I don't think Tyson would like it too much." Aha this I have got to see.
(1) Slap is a card game where all the deck is dealt face down, then each person takes turns putting one card down face up saying a number. The numbers start with Ace, 2, 3, 4 etc. until king, then it starts over. Now if the person says a number that matches the card that they place down, (say I said 2 and I put down a 2) then everyone has to slap the pile and the person who is last to slap it takes up the pile. Even after you have no more cards left you still have to watch out for when you have to slap, cause then you would have to pick up the pile. The game ends when one person has all the cards.
(2) It means see ya! In Russian.
Okay, well tell me what you think!
