Chapter 2
Freaks and Fighters
Elora opened the first door to the right, Soul's room, and saw that Tiff was trying to stab him with the plastic spork that Maka had given her. "Tiffany Penn Crane put the damn spork down." Tiff looked at Elora and smiled innocently, "I'm not doing anything, just playing 'Steak Knives' with Soul." She looked over at Soul and smiled revealing her teeth. "Yeah, I think it's time we leave." Elora grabbed her by the hand taking the spork, and leading her back into the living room. "Thanks for having us over, sorry about Tiff, she gets like that when someone calls her a dude, so yeah sorry."
They waved good-bye and left with Kid, Patty, and Liz. They crossed the street to Skull Inn and looked at the list of names of people who were living there in the front… well you know what I mean. Elora noticed that their names were already on the list and what room # they had. "Ok, thanks. We'll see you guys tomorrow." Tiff gave Kid a hug, making him turn a bright red, then smiled at him after letting go. "Bye Mr. OCD!" she yelled again than turned and went inside behind Elora.
They got to the third floor, and walked down the hall looking for the room #. "Number 13, this is us. " Elora opened the black door and looked inside. It was a plain room with black wood floors and white walls. The kitchen was small, but big enough for two people. There were two bedrooms, they looked the same, but on different sides of the living room, inside was a bed with black sheets in the middle of the room against the wall, a largish closet to the left, and a dresser/mirror/desk thingy against the wall near the door. The living room only had a few pieces of furniture, a black'n white chair, a white couch, a coffee table with dead flowers in a glass planter, and a regular sized T.V in the corner. (There's a bathroom, I just am too lazy to describe what it looks like, but I think you have a pretty good idea of what it looks like)
"Wow, it's in black and white!" Tiff said, running into the room on the left. Elora shrugged, "I guess the plainness is good for us." She walked into the room on the right. Tiff jumped up and down on her bed. Elora sighed, "Tiff, If we're going to keep a low profile than no more witchy-tricks, that means teleporting, got it?" Tiff sat on the bed now looking… well depressed. "But why, I don't want to hid who I am." Elora sat next to her. "Well first of all, if you're a witch than then they will try to smite you and eat your soul, and second if they find out than well it will be like before we got here, rejection, mobs, and deaths. This is a fresh start for us so, I hope they don't find out, at least until they get to know you." Tiff smiled. Elora smiled evilly back. "That Kid was pretty cute, and it's not like you to give someone you barley know a hug."
Tiff looked down, her bangs falling in her face. Elora could feel her heat-up she was basically a human heater. "He's like me so he knows how it feels to be a freak." Elora just gave her a hug. "Don't worry I'm not accusing you of anything. Now go to bed we have school tomorrow." Tiff rolled her eyes. "Ok, Mom." And she puffed into a cloud of red smoke, leaving Elora in the empty black and white room.
The morning came when the alarm clock went off, (she only brought a clock and a tooth brush) Elora pressed the metal button on the top of it, and got up to stretch. That's when she smelt it; bacon. She jumped up from her bed not bothering to get dressed, (in underwear for PJs) and walked out the door to find Tiff making breakfast, and drinking a whole jug of coffee. "Morning Elora, how do you like your… for god sake put on some damn cloths!" Tiff said scowling at her then turned back when Elora ran to her bedroom. "Why does she have to do that every F-ing morning, I mean we could have people over for some reason." Tiff mumbled to herself. She flipped over the fried egg she was making then put it on a plate next to her. A good five minutes went by then Elora came out in her usual cloths. "Can I have my eggs scrambled please?" she asked, sitting at the 2ftx2ft white table, that sat at least 30cm from her BR door. (Abbreviations, too lazy to write the actual word lol) "Yeah yeah, I know scrambled not fried." She replied, cutting the sizzling egg with her spatula. "Hey, what time is it anyway?" Tiff asked. Elora looked through her doorway and looked at her alarm clock; 6:54am. "Five till seven." Tiff nodded then turned back to the stove.
They walked up the steps of Shibusen Tiff was in the back, she almost looked as though she was sleep walking. Elora on the other hand was basically running up the steps, she had the whole 'can't be late for school' thing going on. "Tiff hurry, I don't want to be late!" she yelled behind her. Elora had reached the doors of the school by then, and well she wasn't too happy. "What no school, I didn't…when did, huh?" Tiff walked up to her, "This is probably a good time to tell you that it's Saturday." Tiff yawned and spun on her heel and headed back down the steps of Shibusen. "But this school never has weekends, never, I even read about it…oh screw it." Elora was scolding the sky for her mistakes when she ran into Tiff causing them both to fall on top of Kid.
"Are you ok Kid, oh hi Tiffany, hi Elora." Liz said pulling Kid out from under them. "Hi Liz, hay do you know what's going on with the school?" Elora asked picking up Tiff, who had fallen asleep on the ground. "Um, well their giving us a free-day today so, well I guess their cleaning the school. Hey Kid and Patty are headed to meat Soul and Black Star do you guys want to go?" She let Kid go, and was now talking to Elora intently. Elora had let go of Tiff and she was now snoring on the ground with her ass sticking up in the air. "Well I guess but we need to wake up Tiff first." She looked down at Tiff and pushed her so that she had fallen on her side showing that it would be difficult to wake her. "Don't worry, I can do it." Patty said in her cheery voice. She rubbed her hands together and threw Tiff over her shoulder and started down the street. "Um Patty I don't think that's a good idea, if you pick her up when she's sleeping she thinks she's flying and well… could you just put her down?" Patty nodded and dropped Tiff on the ground. "Ow What The Hell!" Tiff yelled when she got dropped on her head. "Well that worked." Kid said waling passed Elora. Elora sighed for the thousandth time and walked over and help Tiff get up.
"Well we had to wake you up." Elora said putting her hands behind her back as they walked to where ever. "Well you didn't have to drop me on my head that hurt worse than hell." Tiff said rubbing her head. "We're here." They turned a corner into a courtyard where a basketball court was located in the middle. Soul, Maka, a blue haired boy, and a tall girl stood in the middle of the court and waved at them. "Hey kid!" The blue haired boy said and ran over, or I think he did he kinda disappeared in the middle of it. "Ha ha, see how fast I am, I will deferentially surpass god!" He yelled from above them on the stone wall that made the boundary of the courtyard. "Elora why is there a blue haired monkey on the wall?" Tiff asked as she looked up at him as he lost his balance and fell off at her comment. Elora, Patty, and Kid laughed, but not Tiff she really didn't see what was so funny and just walked off. "Hi Tiff, Elora." Maka said waving them over. "Hey Maka… Tiff no!" Elora yelled at Tiff as she got ready to pounce at Soul again. Soul had backed away from her a bit as not to get well killed. "Um why is she still trying to kill Soul?" asked Maka, watching Soul walk around to the other side of her to get away from Tiff. "Oh well he hasn't said he was sorry for calling her a guy so she's still a little sore from it. But on the positive side she isn't as hyper as she was yesterday." Elora said smiling. Tiff nodded but yawned afterwards. "Well that's a bummer everyone was saying how crazy she was so I wanted her on my team, if you guys showed up I mean." The blue boy said. (Calling Black Star blue boy now just in case you are confused) "Um team?" Elora looked a bit uneasy when she asked. "Yeah we're going to play basketball you guys want to join?" Kid asked, "Oh, um well I don't mind it's just Tiff gets a little…you know, competitive at games so um, and if she goes on the team against Soul well um… she won't exactly go by the rules, if you fallow me." They looked at them with OoO faces, "Unless Soul says he was sorry to her than it would be ok." She said in a more cheery voice. Tiff sat on the ground trying not to fall back asleep.
"Oh well, Soul go say you're sorry." Maka demanded pushing Soul forward. Soul sighed and looked at Tiff, she glared at him; he flinched. "Sorry for um… calling you a guy." He said with his eyes closed, he opened them and Tiff jump up and gave him a hug. "It's ok, now let's play some ball." She let go and walked over and stood by Maka. "Well first off I kinda want to know their names." Elora said pointing at the tall girl and blue boy. "My name is Black Star!" He yelled with a grin on his face. "And I'm Tsubaki." The tall girl said bowing. "and I'm Elora, and that's Tiff nice to meet you." Elora smiled again. "Can we pick the teams now?" Soul asked dribbling the basketball in his hands. Everyone nodded, but Maka who looked nerves. "Um can we explain the rules first, I don't really know how to play?" Everyone just ignored her and split up into two teams. Soul, Elora, Patty, and Tsubaki on one team and Black Star, Maka, Kid, and Tiff on the other. "Let's make this a little more interesting, if you win Elora has to wear all pink for a week." Elora pushed him, "No Freaking Way!" She yelled. "And if you win-" Black Star started, "Then Maka has to go on a date with her dad for a day." Maka grabbed on to his arm and started shaking him, "Don't I get a say in this." Maka pleaded. "Then it's time to begin!" Patty shouted, and they started playing.
In the end Soul's team won, mainly because Maka wasn't doing anything. Elora was jumping up and down because she didn't have to wear pink for a week, and Tiff had fallen on one of the benches and fell asleep. Maka walked over to a red-headed man in a tux and looked a bit nerves. "Hey Soul, is that her dad?" Elora stopped jumping and was now whispering to Soul. "Yeah, and I wouldn't want to go talk to him he's kind obsessive over her." Elora nodded mouthing the word 'oh' then went over to Tiff to wake her up, when she looked back at Maka her dad was…puking? She turned back to Tiff and shook her a bit. When she didn't budge she pulled out a flyswatter type thing and smacked her in the face. Tiff shot up immediately holding her, now red, face. "Will you stop doing that!?" She screamed at her. Elora looked at her, "No, as long as you stay up and fall asleep during the day I won't stop." Elora grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. "We're going to head out guys, she needs to sleep and I need to go food shopping before tomorrow so um, see you guys tomorrow." She waved and left them to play another round of basketball.
