Chapter two is up and running!
Disclamer: Don't own characters or game!
The next day, everything was going normal. The group was currently eating pancakes, or should I say for some of them, wearing the pancakes. Stan and Rosalyn had gotten into a fight and got pancake batter all over each other. They were currently glaring at each other, Rosalyn stabbing her poor pancake and Stan ripping at his.
Other than this, it was a good morning.
After breakfast and getting breakfast off of some of them, Linda, Rosalyn, and Anne went into Tenel to shop. Kilsing was off talking with Ari's dad again, Big Bull was working out somewhere around the house, and Epros, once again, had left without telling anybody where he was going. Ari stayed home to help his mom with chores and Stan went to give James a call.
All was going well in the house, Ari had gotten most of kitchen clean from after Stan's and Rosalyn's 'food fight' and was currently washing the dishes with his mom. It was quiet for most of the time. Ari's mom got done with washing the dishes and had asked Ari to dry the rest of them. She then walked out of the room, going to see if Grandma and Grandpa needed anything. Ari quietly finished with the dishes, but as he was putting away the last one, he dropped it. Ari winced when he heard the loud crash. The dish had shattered into a million pieces and they were scattered around the bare footed Ari. He stood very still, not wanting to get cut by any of them.
'Oh man, what am I going to do. Well... Mom must have heard it and should be coming soon.' Ari stood there for a few more minutes before he heard footsteps. He thought it was his mom, but it wasn't her. It was someone else.
"Are thou alright?" Ari blinked at Epros before smiling uneasily.
"Not really. I dropped a glass dish and it broke. I kind of need some help getting around it." Epros looked at the ground and saw that Ari didn't have shoes on. It didn't take Epros long to figure out how to get Ari out of his problem. He reached over and grabbed Ari from under his arms. Before Ari could ask what he was doing, he was lifted and in Epros' arms. He blinked up at Epros while Epros carried him away from the glass. He then put him down before going over to clean up the mess. Once he was done, he went and sat down at the table, next to Ari. The two were quiet, silently sitting besides each other. That is, until Ari flinched slightly when he moved his feet. Epros caught it and looked at Ari worriedly.
"Thou alright? Are thou hurt?" Ari didn't know. He shifted so he could raise the foot that hurt and looked at it carefully. Right on the top of his foot, was a small cut. Not too big to be a worry, but it still hurt. Ari then looked up at Epros and smiled.
"I'm alright. It's just a little cut."
'A little cut that stings like heck!' Ari thought, trying to ignore the pain. Epros seemed to notice, for he got up and looked around the room. He went around to one of the cabinets and opened it up. He made an 'ah' sound when he found what he was looking for. He came back soon with a blue band-aid. After getting it open, Epros placed it gently on the cut. Even though it didn't help the pain, it made Ari feel a bit better and made him not notice it that much. He smiled at Epros.
"Thank you, Epros." Epros smiled back. Soon, the two were quiet again, only now Epros was closer to Ari. It stayed like that for the longest time before Ari broke the silence.
"Epros, how did you know I was in here?" There was a long pause before Epros finally spoke up.
"I...---"
Before Epros could finish, the kitchen door slammed open. Stan entered the room and marched right on in. He was looking down at an article in the paper, thus not looking up.
"Hey, Ari, it says in here that next week Saturday there is going to be..." Stan had finally looked up and saw that Epros was also in the room with his green-eyed crush. At first, he blinked at him out of curiosity since he knew Ari was there since Ari's mom told him. He wasn't expecting Epros to be here also. Then, that curiosity turned to jealousy and anger. Why was he here with Ari?
"Epros, why are you here?" Epros just stared at Stan, catching right away the anger in his voice. The two had a staring contest, both daring the other to do something. Ari, sensing the tense in the air, decided to try and break it.
"So, um, Stan what did you come to tell me about?" Instead of getting an answer, silence filled the room. Ari was ignored. Ari sighed and stood up. "Well, I'm going to find Rosalyn. Bye." With that, Ari rushed out of the room.
As soon as the door shut did all hell break loose.
Ari blinked back at the door as he heard the sounds of crashing, breaking, and other not so good sounds. Everybody came running over as the fight in the kitchen continued. After about ten seconds Rosalyn ran into the kitchen. The rest of the group waited nervously as they waited for Rosalyn. Soon, the other room became silent. The group outside of the kitchen looked at each other before looking back at the door. Stan was the first to come out. He had a few cuts on his face, bruises, ripped clothing, and messy hair. He stormed out of the room and went into the living room. There was the sound of a door slamming, signaling that Stan had gone outside. Next to come out was Epros, who was just as bad as Stan. Rosalyn came out also. Her hair was a bit messy and she had a black eye. Other than that, she looked okay. She scowled at Epros, who in turn looked at the ground gloomily. Rosalyn just shook her head and walked off, Anne following in tow. Soon the rest of the group left too, all going back to their original things. Ari stayed a little longer to make sure Epros was okay. Epros just smiled at him before walking off to Ari's room. Ari stood in his spot a little longer before sighing and going off to find his mom.
-------
It was almost lunchtime when Stan finally came back to the house. He looked calmer, but whenever he saw Epros you could tell he wanted to strangle him. Ari tried to stay around Stan to help calm him. He asked him to help him with setting the plates out for lunch and to help him find a missing fork. It seemed to work, since Stan was always more friendly when around Ari. Just before lunch was set, Kilsing came down with a pitcher of blue liquid. Everybody stared at the liquid before looking at Kilsing.
"I call this a friendship maker liquid! I just whipped it up!" Everybody looked at each other before looking questionably at Kilsing again. Kilsing sighed before pointing at the pitcher. "Look, if Stan and Epros drink this they will become friends!" Both Stan and Epros looked at Kilsing as if he were crazy before glaring at one another. Ari looked back at one another before sighing.
"Come on you guys! Just try it, please? It might not even work and you two can continue hating each other." Both demons blinked at Ari before sighing. How could they say no to Ari? Before the two demons could agree to it, Kilsing started to talk again.
"Just to be on the safe side, since Ari seems to be in the middle of it, I think he should drink it too." Ari blinked before smiling uneasily.
"Um... Okay..."
With that settled, they had lunch. Stan and Epros both stared at the blue liquid, both thinking that if they drink it something bad would happen. Ari was also a bit uneasy, but slowly drank his. The two demons also drank theirs. Once lunch was over, the group went back to doing their own things. Since Kilsing wanted to know if his potion worked, he kept Stan, Ari, and Epros together. The three went into the living room while Kilsing and Rosalyn cleaned up around the kitchen. It was quiet for awhile before Rosalyn asked,
"Are you sure what they drank is okay? They won't get hurt from it will they?" Kilsing shook his head.
"No, no! It's perfectly safe!"
Just as he had said that, a strange poof sound came from the living room. Kilsing and Rosalyn looked at each other before rushing into the living room. As soon as they entered, the room was full of smoke. The two waited for awhile before the smoke cleared. What they found shocked them.
There on the floor were two cats, one with yellow fur and ruby red eyes, and one with black fur and fiery gold eyes. There was also one kitten, which had orange fur and emerald green eyes. The three felines looked up at Rosalyn and Kilsing, before Stan's voice was heard coming from the black cat.
"Nice going, you stupid scholar! How is this suppose to help!"
