Chapter 1: It's hot, really hot
School was out. The summer's humidity and wishes from people that it would rain hung in the air. You could almost see the tree's sweating tiny beads of water through their rough bark. There was a group of five teenagers and a child under a huge tree that shaded them all.
"It's sweltering out here" said Izumi exhausted. "Huh, don't use such big words?" said JP looking dumbfounded. Everyone stared at him as sweat dropped. "It means it's hot out here" said Izumi talking to him very slowly like he was in Preschool. "Ooohh. of coarse it's hot you're here" JP said jokingly. Then he started to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. Everyone's sweat dropped once more as they looked blankly at JP then at each other. "And he's supposed to be the older, smarter, and more mature one" whispered Koji under his breath. "Heh, I heard that!" shouted JP. "So" Koji said coldly. "Ss-o, it was mean" JP said in a soft innocent voice.
Not wanting an argument Takuya quickly changed the subject. "So, exactly what are we doing at the park when we could be in our nicely air-conditioned houses?" Takuya suddenly asked. "Don't ask me it was Tommy's bright idea!" said Koji sharply. "Well, our air-conditioner got busted last summer!" said Tommy quickly in defense. "Mine is broken also" said Izumi, Koji, and Kouichi in unison. "I don't have one" says JP.
"I do, and it's still workin', everyone to my house" yelled Takuya as he pointed his index finger in some direction. They got up out from under the tree and the cool shade. They made their way down the sidewalk.
The sun began to set. The sky turned an orange-yellow color as it started to bleed in with some pinks and purples surrounding the edges of the few clouds that were spread out randomly across the harmoniously open sky. There was almost no one in site. They were probably in their nice air- conditioned houses on the couch watching Monday night football.
It was too blistering outside to talk much so they mostly kept quiet. They walked in pairs, passing the remaining edges of the parks trees. The afternoon sun shown through the trees limbs making interesting shadows on the ground and passer byes. Tommy and Takuya were first, Kouichi and JP second, and Izumi and Koji last.
They barely made it to Takuya's front door without melting into a puddle of sludge or just evaporating into thin air. He opened his door to get a face full of freezing cold air. He immediately turned into an icicle. "EEeee" he screamed! "I-I th-th-ink so-someone t-t-turned it up t-too h-igh" Takuya tried to shout but failed. "Always pointing out the obvious" Koji muttered as they all walked in the frosty arctic room. "I'll g-g-go turn i-it down" Takuya said teeth chattering.
He walked as fast as he could then turned it down a notch. Slowly it started to become warmer, yet still cool. "So now what do you want to do?" questioned Takuya. "VIDEO GAMES!!!" cheered Tommy. "Alright, Tommy you get it set up and I'll be there in a couple minutes, I have to go check the mail" said Takuya rushing out the door so not to let any of the cold out. Tommy got it ready with no problems at all. "Let's see what the weather's going to be like tomorrow really fast" suggested Kouichi. "Why bother bro, it's been the same weather forecast for the last six weeks" said Koji, Kouichi's younger identical twin brother. "Ya, you're probably right, let's just watch the NFL" agreed Kouichi. "So they turn the channel to watch the game, but it just came out as static. "Not much mail" said Takuya walking in the door and shutting it. "Hey Takuya I think there is something wrong with your TV" said Izumi. Suddenly a voice could be hardly heard through the static. It was Ophanimon!

He said this when they were in the air force together. I guess one of the higher authority people was treating him really badly and he stood up to him.
