Movie Night at Seiya's!
Irrelevant Maverick's comments: Don't worry, it's not scary-in fact it's funny (supposedly). This chapter is just the intro of how they decide the movie but next chapter (which is done btw) is when the real fun begins!
Disclaimer: I can't disclaim something I've never claimed! And I don't claim Saint Seiya (or Knights of the Zodiac for that matter).

"You guys know this means trouble right?" Ikki asked, stepping forward and casually folds his arms in front.
Seiya and Hyoga trade glances. "Huh?! What do you mean 'trouble'?"
"I mean peons that the Gold Saints will be worse than babies. They'll be OVERGROWN babies. Those guys never even watched a Friday the 13 movie!" shouts Ikki, throwing his hands up in the air. "They don't have, what do I call it?, the 'Horror Flick Immunity'".
All four Bronze saints look from one face to another. Shun raises an eyebrow at Shiryu and Shiryu shrugs. Seiya folds his arms on the table and Hyoga puts his face on his hand and nonchalantly goes, "So?"

"Surround sound Seiya? What the-? You've been holding out on us!" Hyoga, Shiryu, Shun, and Ikki stare awed around the room. This was no longer a poor boy's house.
Granted it was still Seiya's small dock house by the sea, but the interior spoke of state-of-the-art whatever-you-can-think-of stuff.
"Well DUH! The same way you could get your $1,000 parka Hyoga! Through my paychecks that I get from Graude Foundation obviously." Seiya rolled his eyes at them and proceeds to tear off the plastic on the popcorn packages. "Now quit gawking and help me pop some popcorn damnit!"
"While you do have the popcorn ready, what do you have in mind for a movie?" Shun asks while mixing the fruit punch.
Shiryu hands Shun a clear glass water pitcher. "Let's pick one that's really scary and NOT cheesy please."
Ikki smirks and waves his hands at the guys to gather round him. "I say we pick Ju-on (The Grudge in English)."
Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, and Shun yell in unison, "WHAT?!!!"
"C'mon Nii-san! It's not good for a first-timer to get that scared!"
Seiya jumps in, "And I've got another movie in mind Ikki!"
Hyoga, after some thinking calmly says, "Well, I agree with Ikki. Let's watch Ju-on."
"But WHY?" ask Seiya and Shun. Ikki just closes his eyes and makes a smug smile.
"Because it's not cheesy and well, there's girls in there."
Seiya makes a frustrated face. "Yeah. DEAD girls."
While this whole exchange was going on, Shiryu finished adding sugar to the fruit punch (they made five pitchers worth). He stands up slowly and smiles, "Guess we'll just have to settle things the old-fashioned way."
Seiya blinks. "You guys can't fight in my kitchen!"
Shun sighs and looks at Seiya, "Shiryu means we do jen-ken-po for who's movie will be shown." Hyoga slaps his head and shakes it exasperatedly. Ikki snorts.
"Since me and Hyoga have the same movie in mind, he'll be my representative," says Ikki. He moves over behind Hyoga.
Shun and Shiryu did likewise behind Seiya since both felt that Seiya would just act up even more if they try to show their movie. Hyoga and Seiya square each other off. Feet apart. Eyes locked on each other. You could practically hear the "Eye of the Tiger" song playing.
((This scene of jen-ken-po is borrowed from Friends when Monica made Thanksgiving dinner and the rest were late and wanted to decide who goes in first))
::Ten minutes of silence and glaring::
"START ALREADY!" Ikki shouts irritatedly, his eyes red and pointy like a demon's.
Seiya and Hyoga each put one foot forward. Knees bent and they start swinging their fists.
"Jen-ken—"
But Ikki sees that Seiya put his hand upside down and was waving his fingers frantically. Hyoga just made a fist to indicate rock.
Seiya gleefully says, "HA! Check out my FIRE! Fire destroys EVERYTHING! MWAHAHAHAHA! Take that Swan!"
But Hyoga doesn't miss a heartbeat. He raises his fist over the 'fire' and says, "Oh yeah? Can fire stand up to my WATER BALLOON?" He drops his fist and with his lips, makes a popping sound like a water balloon bursting.
Seiya stares at Hyoga. He looks at his 'fire' with his hand flopped over in defeat. Then he looks at Hyoga approvingly, "Well-played Swan. Well-played."
EXTRA: Joey Tribianni was the one who played 'fire' and Phoebe (what's her last name?) played 'water balloon'. PLEASE REVIEW! AuroraExecution: hope this story's writing is better!
