Chapter 2
Really. Not mine. Also, I own nothing Batman or anything else I might make reference too.. Tiy: Hey, what about that Batman statue thingy over there? HUSH, TIY! DON'T LISTEN TO HER! I OWN NO BATMAN THINGS! Tiy: Liar…
Kia: Hello to all! I am back once more. My writing time is starting to get cut back, considering school is starting yet again. August 9th to be exact. Blah to school. Blah to teachers. Blah to annoying people at school. They just keep cutting our summer shorter! So my updates will have to come a little later from now on.
D: Oh my. School again? Have you gotten everything you need?
Leon: Yeah! Kia's leaving us for school! Finally! I have been waiting for this moment!
Jar: I'm hungry.
Kia: Well, I certainly won't miss you, Leon Orcot! Hmph.
Leon: Like I care!
D: Both of you, quit this bickering!
Jar: Daddy! I'm hungry! Can we go?
Leon: We're not bicking…biking…whatever you said!
Kia: Bickering, stupid.
D: It means arguing, fighting, ect…
Leon: I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS! I'M NOT AN IDIOT!
Jar: Can we go home?
D: I wasn't implying that you are an idiot. I was simply…
Jar: CAN WE LEAVE?
Kia and Leon: NO! BE QUIET!
Tiy: That's it. It's too loud. I'm leaving. You comin' Jar?
Jar: crying Yeah. I'm gonna go find Jul-I mean Jill…
Tiy: Sure, whatever.
Kia, Leon, and D are still arguing in background, so Jar decides to introduce the next chapter…
Jar: Chapter 2, everyone. I've got stuff I have to go do…
Puppy Love
Chapter 2
"You see? She won't hurt you." Jill said as she opened the door to her home. Jar glared at Julie suspiciously, before flopping angrily on the couch.
"Why did I have to come tonight? Why couldn't I stay home?" Jar whined, his little arms folded over his chest.
Jill didn't answer that question as she normally did. What could she say? She knew why Jar couldn't stay, but didn't want to tell him. Maybe he'd forget…
"Jill? Why?" Jar asked again, sitting up. Oh no…
"Jar, do you want to play Nintendo with me?" Julie asked cheerfully. She just seemed to refuse that Jar didn't like her.
"Hm? Oh, yeah, sure." Jar said, jumping off the couch. "As long as you don't touch me or anything!"
Julie smiled at him as he sauntered past her. Then she grinned at Jill and skipped after Jar. Jill sighed gratefully and headed into the other room that Jar and Julie would be staying in. She would have to make up the other bed.
"Hehe! I beat you again!" Julie laughed.
Jar scowled angrily. "Are you sure you've never played this before?" he muttered, glaring at the TV screen.
"I've never played this." Julie said solemnly. "I promise."
"Right…" Jar breathed as his little character fell into a hole onscreen. He leaned forward swiftly, unexpectantly, and shut off the game, making Julie jump.
"Why'd you do that?" Julie asked, her eyes sparkling with confusion as she stared at Jar, still holding her controller.
Jar just turned to glare at her. He didn't stare very long, just long enough for her to know that he didn't want to hear her voice. He was half-way into putting in a new game when he froze. Those eyes…
Jar's own eyes were wide, and he turned back to Julie, staring into her big green eyes. The world seemed to stop then. All that Jar could see was Julie, her eyes, and that big blue bow in her hair…As for what he could hear…only the sound of his heart beating louder, and louder, and loud-WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?
Jar blinked, jerking himself out of his trance. Julie was talking to him now, her eyes concerned.
"Jar? Hello? Are you ok? Jar?" Her soft voice asked.
Her hand was on his arm. Jar shrugged it off. "Yeah, I'm fine." He snapped. He shoved the game into the console, and turned it on, trying to focus on the game.
"Ok." Julie said, even softer than before.
Jar frowned and gripped his controller harder.
The Next Morning
Leon yawned loudly, blinking the sleep from his eyes. Sitting up, he realized D was still asleep beside him, unusual, considering he normally woke much earlier than Leon.
Still…seeing D laying there like that, it made him look almost helpless.
With a chuckle, Leon shook the thought from his head. He knew D was capable of taking care of himself. He still had faint scars from their first fight, that Christmas night long ago. He brushed his fingers across those scars as the memory came back to him.
Q-chan squeaked his protest to Leon, wanting to know why D wasn't up yet. Leon just waved him away and pushed back the covers, reaching for his clothes. "He had a busy night. Let him sleep." Q-chan just squeaked louder. D moaned and turned on his side, pulling the blanket up to his chin.
"Hush!" Leon scolded the babbit quietly. "You'll wake him up. Lord knows he needs a break from you smelly animals."
"Kyu!" Q-chan protested.
"Yes, you ARE smelly, don't deny it."
"Kyu! Kyu!"
"Seriously though, be QUIET!" Leon hissed. A small smile spread across D's face. Keeping his eyes closed, he decided it might not be such a bad thing if he got to stay in bed for a while longer.
Now fully dressed, Leon ran his hand through his messy hair. He usually slept with it pulled back, but due to D's insistent begging last night, he had taken it down. And now it looked like a rat's nest.
Glancing at himself in the mirror in the bathroom, he sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have taken my hair down." He grabbed a brush and started to comb out the mess of knots and tangles.
'Wonder how Jar is. He sure seemed uptight around that little girl. What was her name?' Leon thought to himself as he finished the last bit of his blond locks. So he started on his teeth. 'I'm sure he'll get used to her. Heck, who knows? Maybe they'll be best friends by today!'
At Jill's
Jar walked sleepily into the kitchen, still in his black and yellow Batman pajamas. Julie smiled at him, laughing under her breath about his pajamas.
"What?" Jar whined, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.
"I like Catwoman." Julie stated proudly, stirring her cereal slowly.
"Huh?" Jar looked down. "Oh…" He climbed into the chair next to Julie's.
"Hey there, little count." (A/N: Jill's sometimes nickname for Jar.) Jill set down a bowl and spoon in front of Jar. "Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes, or Shredded Wheat?"
"Whatever." Jar muttered, stealing glances at Julie, who was focused on eating, and didn't notice it.
Jill noticed however, and just smiled. "Ok then. Shredded Wheat it is." She poured his cereal and milk for him, and then sat with her own bowl of all three cereals mixed together.
Julie was already dressed. She wore a blue jean skirt and a white shirt that said, Too Cute For You on the front. She was swinging her feet back and forth as she hummed happily, still eating. She was smiling. Of course. That smile never left her face. That unnerved Jar. How could someone be that happy all the time?
But, then again, Daddy's almost always happy. He hardly ever gets mad. But when he does…oh boy. Jar thought to himself.
"Jar, Julie asked you a question." Jill said, watching Jar. He seemed to be in deep thought.
"Oh. Sorry…what?" He asked. He was definitely being nicer than he had the night before.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the park today before we took you home!" Julie exclaimed happily.
"Uh…" Jar could feel his face grow hotter. "Why?"
"There's a puppy show there today!" Julie laughed. "I LOVE puppies! They're so CUTE! Maybe you could get a puppy!"
Jill smiled. "I don't think so, Julie. Jar's already got enough pets as it is." She stood, and picked up her and Julie's empty bowls. "Are you finished, Jar?"
"Yeah." He answered. He was still staring at Julie's smiling face. "I suppose going to see puppies won't be so bad."
Jill picked up her purse. "Ok then. Let's get going. Oh, wait! Jar, go change clothes!" She ordered, setting down her purse again.
"Oh…right." Jar rushed into his room, and started pulling out clothes.
At The Petshop
"Dressed already?" D purred when Leon stepped out of the bathroom and back into their room.
Leon smiled at him. "Yeah. I actually have to work today, remember?" He glanced at the clock. "And I'm gonna be late."
D sat up. "Oh, and I haven't fixed you any breakfast. I was going to make you actually eat this time, instead of just toast."
"You'd have to force feed me. You know I'm just not a breakfast person." Leon grinned, watching D as he pulled back his hair. "Well, time to go."
D jumped at him from the bed, and held him tight in a bear hug. "Oh, I don't want you to go."
Leon just laughed and hugged him back. "I know. But maybe you oughta put on some clothes and go take care of your beloved pets."
"Oh, yes. They need to be fed, played with, watered…oh, what was I thinking, staying in bed so long?" D exclaimed, rushing to put on his clothes.
"Hmph. Sometimes I think you love those pets of yours more than you do me." Leon said.
"Oh, of course not!" D assured him, giving him a kiss. "Now hurry up. You'll be late again. And be sure to get something to eat."
"Yes, of course." Leon sighed. "Bye."
"Goodbye, love."
At The Park
"Aw lookit the cute puppy!" Julie exclaimed. "How CUTE!"
Jar couldn't help but smile at Julie's enthusiasm. When was the last time he had seen someone this excited over a puppy?
"Awwww! Jar, isn't he cute?" Julie said, holding up the chocolate brown puppy for Jar to see.
"I suppose…" Jar said, petting the puppy. He turned to his left, certain he had seen something out of the corner of his eye. "Did you see that?"
Julie suddenly looked nervous, and her smile a little less happy. "Uh, no. What? It's probably nothing…hey, lookit that puppy! C'mon, Jar, Jill!" Julie said, rushing over to another puppy.
But I DID see something…someone…watching us… Jar shook his head to rid himself of the thought, and ran after Julie and Jill.
Kia: Yay Chapter 2!
Leon: Hm…it was ok.
Jar: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?
Kia: Puppy love, sweetie.
Jar: WELL MAKE IT STOP! JULIE'S ALREADY SCARY ENOUGH! YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!
D: Stop yelling, Jar.
Jar: Fine. pouting
Kia: Hopefully I get the next chapter finished soon! Until next time, stay tuned to….VISUAL SENSATIONS!
