Redd hazily opened his eyes. As usual, his minions had chipped in to buy him a stupid gift. This it was always a coconut. But he was allergic to coconuts. But they at least they had remembered.
"We got you this present…" Aqua mumbled. She was the youngest, at age ten, and she was still loyal to Redd.
"Thanks Aqua. But I don't want a coconut again. Sorry…" Redd sighed.
"No…we got you a ticket to K.K's concert." Greene said.
"You did? Thanks…" Redd mumbled.
"You're welcome." The minions chorused. Redd got ready for the concert that night. It was held in a distant city, far from the dingy city where he lived. He wore a black tux, the one that he had been saving for a special occasion. His minions complimented him all night on how 'attractive he was' or how 'spiffy that tuxedo looks on him'. Redd was tired of the compliments. Redd walked all the way to the city and sat in a red seat in the theater. Usually it played stupid comedies and skits. But once a year, K.K Slider played a whole bunch of tunes- this years play list was KK. Swing, Stale Cupcakes, K.K Imperial, and Senor K.K. That's what Green had said. Redd sat there for a few hours and saw nobody was there. He walked outside grumbling about the rip-off, and plopped on the sofa when he got home. Aqua walked up to him and grinned.
"So?" Aqua asked cheerfully "Where'd you go? Everyone's been guessing all night!"
"Where did I go?" Redd shouted. "You gave me tickets to K.K's concert, but I went to the theater and NOBODY was there! K.K wasn't even playing tonight!"
"Well…I told them to get you a ticket that was for a concert…one for next year…" Aqua whimpered. She took the ticket and ran away sobbing.
"Augh!" Redd yelled to himself. He ran outside his stupid house, and bumped into a young girl with snow-white hair tied up with a green bandana.
"Oh! I'm sorry…" Redd mumbled, bending down to pick up the weapon the girl had dropped.
"It's okay…" The girl said, smiling at Redd.
"I'm Redd." Redd stuttered as he handed the girl her weapon.
"I'm Sirica…"
