More Problems

Link yawned and stretched as he jogged down the stairs. Outside, the sun was just rising in the east so it was still mostly dark outside. Link only knows why he woke up so early. Hopping over the couch's back and landing of the cushions, he took the remote from the coffee table and turned on the television. Flipping through dozens of channels until he came upon the show he was looking for.

Again, MTV.

He yawned and stretched himself out on the couch, using his arm as a pillow. For a few minutes, he watched the music videos that played before he felt his stomach rumbling. Getting up, he went over to the kitchen. He noticed the island counter, the way almost the entire kitchen was made of wood, he just wished it came with a chef. Digging around in the cupboards, he found himself a deep bowl and a spoon. He opened the fridge and pulled out the box of Lucky Charms and the milk.

Link set them upon the counter and tipped the box so that the cereal poured into the bowl. He then splashed in some milk before making his way back to the living room. He sat on the couch and began to crunch down on the breakfast he so work hard to make.

"I see you're the first one awake," came Ms. Harkinian's voice as she descended the stairs. She had covered herself in a pink robe, "Such a shame, I was going to make breakfast for us but here you are, eating cereal."

"Don't worry about it," Link said. "I can always fit more."

Ms. Harkinian smiled, "You still have a few more weeks until summer ends, what do you intend on doing for the rest of it?"

Link shrugged, "Maybe go scope out some girls."

"All boys are always thinking of one thing," she said before heading to the kitchen.

"I am so bored," Malon said as she looked at the ceiling fan. She was lying on her bed, with a magenta spread, only gazing up absent-mindedly. She got up from her bed and made her way to the window that managed to overlook the neighborhood. Malon didn't want to be here with no one to take care of her.

Spoiled? Rotten.

She looked down onto the driveway and saw the Escalade. Just then, she found a way to end her boredom. A simple trip to the mall was all that it would take. Only one obstacle stood in her way. Malon came out of her room and went across the hall to the room with the golden "V" on its door. She knocked on the door slightly. Vincent did come down to breakfast but as soon as he was done, went straight back up.

"What are you doing?" Zelda asked as she came up from the stairs.

"Shh! I'm trying to see if this guy is asleep."

"Why?"

Malon turned the doorknob slowly; "I want his car keys so I can go to the mall."

"Your going? Let me help." Zelda said. She walked over and together, they entered the room.

The room was something they never experienced before. Dark curtains hung over the window cutting off all light into it. The television on the wall was on but only showing a blue screen. Around the television were around five or six tall DVD towers, all filled up. Scattered on the floor were a PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and a shining Xbox 360. Next to where they were standing, was a small desk with a closed laptop with stickers of the Looney tunes.

And on the bed was Vincent, knocked out in a deep sleep. The covers have been kicked off so he was only dressed in boxer shorts.

"His keys must still be in his jeans," Zelda said. "She grabbed the pair that was on the floor and went through all the pockets before coming upon the jingling metals. "Got them, let's go Malon."

The two were creeping to the door before.

"Is that the best you can do?" Vincent asked.

The girls turned around to see Vincent getting up. He stretched out his muscled arms and walked over to the girls.

"Oh, what Link think if he knew I had both of you in here." Vincent said. He held out his right hand. "Come on hand them over."

Malon smiled at him, "Will you please just let us take your car." She had a seducing look on her face, something she perfected after years.

"Not this time, sweetheart," Vincent said. "I'm not falling for that again. Keys. Now."

In defeat, Zelda handed over his keys. Malon then began to pout her lips.

"Fine, damn," Vincent said. "How about this? I'll take you to wherever you want to go."

Malon perked up instantly, "Alright, come on, to the mall."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The mall? Look, it's almost noon and women do not like taking a trip to the mall as something trivial. I am not going to miss General Hospital just so you can go to the mall."

"You watch General Hospital? I don't get it, what is going on with Jason and Sonny. I haven't been keeping up," Malon asked.

"Oh, Sonny is going out with Jason's sister and…"

Zelda coughed to make her presence known. "Why don't you just set the TiVo to record it?"

Vincent stood silent for a moment, "Fine, even though I like watching it when it is actually on. Just give me 20 minutes to get dressed."

Out in front of the house, Zelda and Malon stood next to the car. Malon had on a pink top that exposed her genuine assets and a short black miniskirt with matching heels. Zelda was more casual with her white blouse and jeans. Vincent came out of the house but going against his own style, he wore a Boston Celtics basketball jersey. Vincent pressed a button on the key chain and the Escalade unlocked its doors. He adjusted his glasses and opened his car door.

"Is Link not coming?" Zelda asked.

"Link isn't even here. That man left somewhere after breakfast. I don't know how but he did," Vincent said as he climbed into the driver's seat.

Malon sat in the passenger side and Zelda got into the back seat. Vincent pulled out of the driveway and started for the road. Thanking the GPS, Vincent found the closest mall and managed to get there without getting lost. Vincent parked his car and came out with the girls soon after.

"Vincent, you couldn't park closer?" Malon asked.

"You woke me up, I managed to take you here and yet you still want more?" Vincent said. "What about you Zelda, anything else you want to add?"

"No, just that you could've parked closer," she said.

Vincent sighed and he started for the mall. Malon and Zelda closely followed. The glass doors slid opened automatically as they entered the mall. It was a vast place with a high ceiling. Stores were already opened and plenty of people were found entering and exiting carrying bags from various places.

Vincent reached into his pocket and pulled out his cellular, "Look, why don't we go our separate ways? Just let me get your phone numbers before we go so we can call each other when we're done."

Zelda nodded and gave him her number, "And you Malon."

Malon did the same, "What time should we be finished though?"

Vincent looked at his watch, "Try to be done by five, I don't want to be here all day."

Five o'clock came and sure enough, Vincent called the girls trying to tell them to meet him by the car. Outside, Vincent started up the car and waited for the girls. Zelda came out first and placed her bags in the back and climbed in.

"Enjoy yourself?" Vincent asked.

"Yeah, got this cute bag that I simply had to had and…"

"Alright, that's enough. Don't need the entire story. You weren't with Malon?"

"Yeah, but we went different ways as soon as you called us," Zelda replied.

Malon came walking up to the car with some boy with all her bags. She opened the back and he placed all her things in. His black hair was short and he had green eyes.

"I guess we'll talk later, right babe?" he said.

"You bet," Malon said back to him.

The guy looked at Vincent for a minute who was casually waiting, "Whose that guy?"

"Him? He's nobody," Malon said.

"I'm a nobody now?" Vincent said silently.

Malon climbed into the passenger seat and said goodbye to the guy. Vincent placed the car in reverse and started for the house. The ride wasn't silent like the last one.

"You know Malon, most guys only want one thing from a girl of your structure and status," Vincent said.

"What are you trying to say?" Malon asked.

"I am trying to say that he only wants to get you in bed," Vincent said bluntly. "That isn't hard to put together."

"Who the hell do you think you are? You aren't my father, not even my damn brother! Don't try to get into my life because you have no idea what I am like. And what makes you better than him? You aren't a gentleman," Malon snapped at him.

"I am more of a gentleman than him, that much I know. Trust me, I am nowhere near the same type of men that most girls run across. Look at me, I don't flirt with every girl I see, I don't go and party every night. If anything, I'm just a big kid. I still watch Thundercats and He-Man," Vincent said.

"You never know, I might end up with him forever," Malon said.

Vincent laughed, "That one is a classic. You ask yourself that question, do you rally see yourself with that guy for the rest of your life? Most relationships end because people aren't searching for a soul mate anymore, they just want someone to be with for a few months, max."

Vincent pulled up to the house. Link was outside on a latter trying to set up a basketball hoop. Malon quickly got out and grabbed her things. She slammed both doors and quickly entered the house. Vincent and Zelda got out of the Escalade; Zelda was shaking her head at Vincent.

"You should really apologize, Malon isn't one who forget so easily," Zelda said. "But just so you know, I am with you about her and her choice of men." She went up to the house.

Link came over, "Your ass went to the mall without me. Some brother you are."

"I was with girls, I was thinking of you. Would you really have like it if you went?" Vincent said. "Especially with Malon?"

"Seeing that fight makes me love you for not taking me," Link said with a big grin on his face. "If I were you I'd let her cool off a bit. How about some one on one?"

Vincent found the basketball, "Let's go then."

What began, as a little fun soon became a fight for the wining point. Both Link and Vincent had 20 points and the next one who scored would win. Link had the ball and came up the driveway but Vincent swatted the ball away. It bounced halfway down with both boys racing after it. Vincent grabbed it and shot from right there. It flew and hit the rim of the basket, which was Link's chance to grab it and dunk it in there.

"Man, I hate you," Vincent said.

"You snoozing' too much," Link said. "Hanging with the girls made you soft."

"Screw you," Vincent said.

Link dropped down to the pavement and breathed heavily. Vincent simply leaned against the wall. As they rested, someone came up from the sidewalk.

"Yo, you guys new here?" he said once he reached them.

Link simply nodded, not trying to waste any breath.

"Tired, huh? You must be with that game ya'll just played," he said. He had a new type of character neither Vincent nor Link encountered before. For one, he wore an oversized shirt around three times what he was suppose to wear and baggy jeans. Not just baggy but also gratuitously oversized. He himself was big guy, possibly muscular but you can see his paunch. He had dark brown hair and very light hazel eyes. "My name's Darunia."

"Link," Link said. He pointed to his brother, "Vincent."

"Ya'll going to the high school right?" Darunia asked.

Vincent, finally feeling better, took over the conversation, "Yeah, we're suppose to go to the nearest high school once school starts.

"Are there any cute girls at the high?" Link asked.

"Yeah, we got some fine honeys," Darunia said. "Yo, with that skills you got on the court, ya'll could try out for the basketball team."

"I might tryout," Link said. "Could guarantee more girls."

"I might say football but I'm not sure how you guys are on the field and you look kind of small for it," Darunia said. "Yo, that's ya'll ride?" Darunia asked, looking at the Escalade.

"That's my pride and joy," Vincent said proudly.

"Nice ride, nice ride," Darunia said.

"Hey, I better see if she's already cooled down," Vincent said. He went to the front door and went inside.

"I'll see you guys around then," Darunia said, heading for the sidewalk. Link waved and got up. He took the basketball in his hand and shot it to the basket. It went in with a swish and bounced off into the grass.

Vincent stood in front of Malon's room. He let out a heavy sigh and knocked on the door.

"If you're that egotistical, jackass Vincent, leave right now!" she yelled.

Vincent head dropped. He brought it back up, "Look, Mal, I'm sorry for butting into your life."

He heard some movement in the room and the door opened. Malon looked really pissed off at him. She placed her hands on her hips, "And?"

"And…I'm sorry?" Vincent said.

"I guess you tried. I forgive you."

"A hug?" Vincent asked, holding out his arms.

Malon smiled slightly and complied with giving him a friendly hug, "Don't get to use to that."

Link walked through the front door and found Zelda sitting down at the couch. "Hey, what are you up to?" he asked, sitting down next to her.

"Nothing," she said. Zelda was flipping through the channels, "I'm bored and there is nothing to watch."

"There is also nothing to do around here," Link added. "Where is your mom?"

"Probably working," Zelda replied. "She is the president after all."

"I cannot believe we're going to attend a public school," Link said. "And, we gotta stay in this house for a year."

"Mother did drop a lot on us during breakfast. Malon must be going through goddesses know what but Vincent seems calm about things, enough to have himself go back to sleep anyways."

"Vincent is…a little weird but that's my brother. That isn't changing anytime soon."

Speaking of the devil, Vincent came running down the stairs. His red hair fell over his eyes as he quickly made it to the kitchen. Link and Zelda heard some cupboards being opened and closed and the fridge's door opened.

Without another sound from the kitchen, Link quietly got up and went in there. He found Vincent surrounded by opened jars, knives, and the loaf of bread.

"Guess its feeding time for you," Link said.

Vincent smiled and added the last slice of bread to his monster of a sandwich, "Man, I'm hungry. It just hit me while I was watching s-CRY-ed."

Link shook his head.

Night crept up around the house and Ms. Harkinian finally made her presence at the house since breakfast. She had dinner with her and the boys were ravenous. Even though Vincent did have a sandwich, it was like he had a bottomless stomach.

Funny because his stomach was flat like an ironing board.

Dinner was different this time around. Usually it had the boys devour their food and run back upstairs with nothing more than a "tasty" and "see you later" but this time they ate with more decency. On top of that, there was conversation at the dinner table.

"Did you teenagers do anything today?" Ms. Harkinian asked.

"Vincent took us to the mall," Malon said. "And I met this real cute boy but I don't really think he's for me." Malon gazed over at Vincent who was drinking soda from his glass. She stared at him for a moment; he was sitting nearer to the dark while she was right underneath the light. "Vincent, I never noticed your eyes…"

"Huh? What about them?" he asked.

"Genius, they're red," Zelda said.

"Oh yeah, cool isn't it?" Vincent asked jokingly.

"They aren't contacts?" Malon asked.

"No, if they were I wouldn't use glasses to drive," Vincent retorted. "I actually found out that my bloodline is one of the only one's out there that contain the red coloration of the eyes."

"Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it is a bloodline trait but more like a really rare thing to find," Zelda said.

Link leaned against the chair. He looked over at Vincent, "Wait a minute, that's my jersey!"

"Yeah, I know," Vincent said. "I needed something to wear so I snuck into your room and stole the first thing I saw in your closet."

"What about your clothes?" Link asked.

"What about them? I wasn't going to wear my stuff to go get it all sweaty from a basketball game," Vincent said.

"You really suck," Link said.

Vincent laughed and then got up from the table seeing how everyone else was done. "Guess this is where we all say goodnight. I mean, look at the time. Nearly eleven."

Malon got up from her chair, "Yeah, your right. Better get to bed."

Everyone made their way up to their rooms. All four doors slammed shut and creaking of springs filled the air in the hallway.
