Great! Thanks for everyone who reviewed and put me on alert, I appreciate it. Now, I promised you a funny chapter and you got it.
"Nick, wake up!" Connie pushed him again. "I swear you'd sleep through an atom bomb."
"Get out of my room Ex-con." He mumbled.
She pushed him off of the bed and he hit his head as he fell. She was growing tired of his nicknames for her.
Nick jumped up. "Okay…ouch!" he rubbed his head. "What do you think you're doing in my room?"
"Maybe you forgot," Connie gritted her teeth. "but we have guests."
He suddenly stopped rubbing his head and grinned. "Oh yeah, how are my girls doing?"
Connie sighed and ignored his question. "Nick be serious; I need help. They're all fighting…again."
A puzzled look crossed Nick's face. "What do you mean again? They fought before?"
"Yes, but someone slept through it." She paused. "Nick please hurry, the house is already a wreck and their making it worse."
"You made them stop before right? Do it again." He sat back down on his bed. "I need my beauty sleep…or else how can I look nice for the girls?"
Connie facepalmed. "First of all, I didn't make them stop without paying a price." She showed him a cut on her arm and ice shards in her hair. "I'm not trying to go through that again. And second…the girls don't want you fool! It doesn't matter how much beauty sleep you get."
"Somebody's a little angry, eh?" He laughed and pointed his finger in her face. She growled and bit his finger.
"Ouch! Tryna give me rabies? Hey, calm down." He patted her head "I'm sure everything's fine."
"GET OVER HERE!"
"WE ARE MANY; YOU ARE BUT ONE!"
"YOU WILL LEARN RESPECT!"
"THIS FIGHT WILL BE YOUR LAST!"
"I GUESS I"LL HAVE TO DO THIS THE HARD WAY!"
"FOR THE SHOALIN!"
"WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS FIRE!"
"Was Smoke here all along?" Nick asked.
"I asked myself the same question…until I figured out that I didn't care!" Connie yelled.
"Okay let's go." Nick said quickly.
They quickly made their way back into the living room. When they got there they saw the battlefield and remained silent for a minute.
"What are we going to do?" Nick asked.
"Pfft. Nothing…we are going to do nothing. You, on the other hand, are going to stop these fights."
He nodded. "Alright, I can see you're still a chicken…I'll handle this."
He took his shirt off and after receiving an odd glance from his sister he walked into the battle.
"I demand your attention! Stop the fight! This is Sparta!" he yelled.
Connie facepalmed.
Nobody listened to Nick and he was about to yell again but his attention was caught by Scorpion who was making Hell Fire come up from the floor, burning Sub Zero.
His jaw dropped and he ran over to him. "Uh, Scorpion, can you stop? I don't really mind you hurting him; he's not one of my favorite characters anyway. But…the fire you're making…it's leaving big black patches on the carpet and well that just doesn't look nice. So, do you mind?"
Scorpion turned to him with fire in his eyes which caused Nick to back up a few feet.
"Please and Thank You Scorpion, please and thank you." Nick said softly and backed up some more.
He backed up into Raiden who was in deep thought.
"Oh my goodness, Raiden! I'm so glad I found you, my brother from another mother." He held his hand up again and again Raiden stared at it.
"I'm not your brother adolescent child." He spoke.
Nick ignored his comment. "Ray, what are we going to do about this?"
"About what?"
"The fighting! Their wrecking my house dude!" he said. "Make them stop or something…please?"
"I cannot…this Mortal Kombat, I have no say in the fight until it is over."
Nick pulled at his short curly hair. "Yeah well, this is my house and I do. If you wont stop them I will."
"Wait Nicholas Hale…I had a question for you." Raiden stopped him.
"Make it quick will ya? And I told you to call me Nick."
"Where are your parental guardians?"
"Their working somewhere far from here. They travel a lot because of their job." He shrugged "Me and Connie are usually by ourselves…but my parents should be coming back in a week or two." He looked at everyone fighting again. "And they'd really appreciate our house well kept…and at this rate they wont have a house to come to!"
Nick ran into the middle of Jax and Johnny Cage and pushed them apart.
"Stop fighting!" he yelled again "I-I-I found a way to get you guys back!"
They all immediately froze and looked at Nick. Connie slowly but surely made her way over to her brother.
"You do?" Kung Lao asked, breaking the silence.
"…no," Nick answered. "I don't; I lied."
They all began talking/yelling at once saying how Nick was stupid and how it wasn't a joking matter. Nick listened for a minute or two expecting them to stop after a while, but they didn't so he cleared his throat.
"Listen to me; I'm sorry, okay? But you guys were demolishing my house and scaring Conster-pated. Can't you do something else? Don't you have any other hobbies?" When no one answered he sighed. "I guess that was a stupid question…no fighting in my house alright? There are rules to this world just as there are in yours."
"Any other rules we should be aware of?" Sub Zero asked.
"No…wait, all the females are required to remove their clothes at noon and-
Connie smacked him. "Nick…if you don't stop I'm gonna beat you like a junkyard dog."
He grinned. "Fine. Just don't fight."
"Or else?" Scorpion challenged.
"You have a real anger problem don't you?" Nick asked. "Or else I wont help you get back anymore. Is that sufficient?"
"Anymore? You're barely helping us." Kitana said.
"Sweetheart…I'm helping you guys a lot…as a matter of fact I'm helping Lu Kang out right now by showing him what a real body looks like." He flexed and then dashed to her side. "Like what you see?"
Lu Kang growled and Connie facepalmed. Then she grabbed her brother and dragged him back to Raiden.
"Stop. Flirting. With. The. Girls. Nick." Connie said slowly but loudly.
"…but their so beautiful." He blew a kiss at Sonya as he was being pulled.
She rolled her eyes. "Not another Johnny Cage."
Nick frowned and yanked his arm from Connie. "Oh no, I'm no actor. I'm all real…you can touch me to see if you want." He grinned again. "Plus I'm way better looking."
"You wish chump." Johnny barked.
"Chump?"
"Give it a rest Nick." Connie growled.
"Give it a rest?" he repeated shocked. "Do you know what a chump is Con-artist?"
"I know my name is Connie!"
"Enough of this!" Smoke appeared next to Nick. "Time is being wasted and for what? Arguing over who's a chump? You all are chumps if you ask me!"
"What? You want some of this Smoke?" Nick got into a fighting stance. "You're one of my favorite characters but I'll take you out."
Connie shoved her brother angrily. "Nick! Stop it, will you? Smoke's right, were wasting valuable time."
"Thank you." Smoke huffed.
"No problem," Connie said and then felt a little bold. "oh, by the way I like your white hair…it makes you look…young."
"…thanks…I guess…"
Nick burst into laughter. "The worst attempt at flirting I've ever seen Conster! That was pitiful…watch a true master."
In seconds he was standing next to Jade.
"Hey babe, I lost my phone number…can I have yours?" he grinned.
"What?" Jade asked confused.
"Nicholas Hale…" Raiden started. "can we try to come up with a plan for the return to our world?"
Nick gave Jade a quick hug and then he was next to Raiden in a flash.
"Of course. As a matter of fact I was thinking about it last night before I fell asleep." He paused. "The way I see it is that all we have to do to get you back is put you back in the same situation…so when it's storming outside and were playing MK9 and then lightning strikes the tv, then and only then will you be able to return."
Connie walked over to him. "That makes sense I guess…but were going to need a new tv…xbox360…and a new MK9 game."
"Right…that's why were going to hit Wal-Mart in an hour or so." Nick declared.
"Who is Wal-Mart and why are we going to hit him?" Lu Kang demanded.
"Wal-Mart is a store dude." Nick laughed.
"Well why are we hitting stores?" Ermac spoke for the first time.
Connie chuckled and answered. "Were not really going to hit the stores, it's just a saying…meaning were going to the store to shop and stuff."
Raiden shook his head. "You people with hitting stores and hay."
Nick chuckled. "You're funny Ray…you ever think about dropping the whole god thing and becoming a comedian? No?"
Connie facepalmed as Raiden just stared at her brother.
Eventually Nick sighed. "Alright then…soon were going to Wal-Mart but not before I eat…anyone else hungry? You guys do eat right?"
"Wait Nick," Connie stopped him from going to the kitchen. "are they coming with us to Wal-Mart?"
"Of course…if we leave them we wont have a house to come back to."
"Yeah but how are we going to get there? The car can only fit 4 people." She pointed out.
"…oh yeah…I guess were taking the bus then."
"The bus?" Jax demanded.
"Yeah…it's going to be awesome, trust me."
~Thirty Minutes Later~
Everyone is squished together in the back of the half-empty bus. The few people in the front were staring back at them, including the bus driver.
"This is not awesome." Scorpion growled. "Why does that guy keep looking at me funny? I am 5 seconds away from burning him!"
Okay! That may have been a little short; my apologies. I hope you laughed. Read and review please! Oh and on a side note has anyone else noticed that my title sucks? Lol. I'm having the hardest time coming up with a good title…so if you have any ideas I wouldn't be mad if you put them in your review. Thanks!
