Whooo. For a month or two there, I forgot FanFiction existed. Well, I'm back. Mwahahahaha! Sorry it's taken so long. I won't waste anymore of your meaningless existence. Chapter Three...
Mac skidded around the corner and dove into his and Brodi's room. "OW!" He got up and shut the door and turned the lock. "Phew..."
Brodi opened one eye. He was in the middle of his meditation. "Something wrong?"
"Uh.." Mac coughed. "Nope. Nothin'."
Brodi saw right past him. "Nice beer. So, they let you buy it?"
"Oh.. yeah. Hell yeah! I look old enough, right?"
"Mm-hmm.. Didn't they ask for your license?"
"Psh.. The dude there looked stoned. He didn't ask for nothin'."
"Let me see your wallet."
"Wha..?
"Hand it over, please."
Mac hesitated but he handed it over. Brodi opened it.
"Uh-huh. Just as I thought. You have $135. Exactly how much you started with. Oh, and what's this? No credit cards? How could you have possibly gotten the beer?"
Mac looked around the room. He had been found out. "Alright, look, dude. I stole it 'cuz he wouldn't let me have it. I made it back here but I gotta stay here for a bit 'till the heat dies down."
"But they're gunna recognize you!"
"Not if I never wear these clothes again!"
"Mac, please. He can see your face. And... everyone knows your name. Not to mention, he swiped your credit card in that machine didn't he? That brings up all your records. I'm afraid your either going to have to turn yourself in and get less punishment.." Mac rolled his eyes. "Or you could keep running like a coward and risk getting in more trouble."
"Either way, Kaori CANNOT know. You have to help me keep this hush from the press, OK?"
"I'm not getting involved. I'm already helping you with your Kaori issue. I strongly suggest you turn yourself in. Now."
Mac groaned. Kaori was going to hate him. "You know what? Fine!" He took the beer and ran back downstairs."
Brodi smiled. There was some good in him.
Mac looked around the corner. There were two policemen at the front desk. Now was his chance. He walked over slowly to them and handed one of them the beer. "Look guys, I'm sorry I stole the beer. Just can you please give me my punishment and don't tell anyone about this?"
The policemen stared at each other. One looked back. "You're the one who stole it? We just came in here for the restroom. We'd given up on your case 10 minutes ago."
Mac went wide-eyed. "What?"
"But, since we got lazy and you did return it, you're punishment is you have to go out there and pick up all the trash around the hotel."
Mac sighed and nodded. He walked outside. "Damnit!" He got started on his punishment.
Elise and Kaori were in the pool with Marisol, Eddie, and Psymon. Eddie was trying to sweet-talk Marisol. Marisol was starting to get really disgusted when Elise came over and dragged Eddie away by the ear. "Hey! Ow! That hurts!" Elise laughed and shoved him under. Kaori giggled at the sight of them. Now she could tease Elise about Eddie!
"BOO!"
Kaori screamed and fell in the pool. Psymon was laughing behind her. "Psymon, you jerk!"
Psymon kept on laughing. "Ahahaha! Fear the Cookie Monster! Away!" And he ran out the door.
"What a weirdo," Marisol said as she turned to look out the window. "Hey! Isn't that Mac? He's picking up trash!"
Everyone looked out the window and started to laugh. All but Kaori. She got up and put on a towel and jacket and walked outside. "Hello, Mac-san! Watcha doin'?"
Mac spun around quickly. "Uhh.. just pickin' up trash. It's a real mess around here, you know."
Kaori thought something might be up but she trusted Mac completely. "That's so nice of you! You need some help?"
"Oh, no. Thanks but I dun wanna ruin your fun. Seriously, you can go back in the pool." And he continued his work.
"Well, alright. When you're done we can hang out." She waved good-bye as she went inside. Mac did the same. He wiped off a trickle of sweat going down his face. "Phew.. close one."
The next day, Brodi got to work on helping Mac and Kaori get together. He first gave Mac a rose to give Kaori.
"For me?" Mac said sarcastically. "Oh, you shouldn't have!" Mac laughed.
Brodi rolled his eyes. "For Kaori. Now, I want you to give it to her when she goes down to the coffee shop today."
"Wait, how did you know she was goin' there?"
"I see her there every Sunday as I walk by to get my herbs."
"OK, I don't even wanna know. What time do I go?"
"Around 3."
"Fine. Oh, this gunna be hard.."
"You'll do fine. Good luck." And he walked down to breakfast.
Mac sighed. Then he sat up. "Oh, MAN! Today's the opening of the new track on Snowdream! GAHH!" He fell onto his bed. "OK, OK. Calm down... It'll be open tomorrow. You're just gunna have to miss dis one for Kaori." He sighed once again. He turned on the TV. He wasn't exactly hungry right now.
Little did Mac and Brodi know, Elise was planning to help Kaori, too. Elise was helping Kaori with her hair trying to make it look good for Mac.
"Alright, what I want you to do is pick out one of your best outfits and around 3 head down to Snowdream. If he's not there for the new track opening, I don't know where he'll be."
"Okie dokie."
"And never, ever, say that again in your natural born life."
"Oki- I mean OK."
"Now, what you want to do is laugh at his jokes, not loudly but enough, even if they're not funny. You should fling your hair now and then. And touch his arm and compliment him a lot."
Kaori's head was spinning with all this information. "Um, OK. But, what if he thinks I'm not me anymore?"
"Oh, please. He'll think you're hot. ... That's a good thing," Elise added noticing Kaori's confused look. "Good luck." And she headed down to breakfast.
Kaori groaned and remembered she couldn't go to the coffee shop today like she always did. She sighed. "For Mac. I won't go so I can see Mac," she assured herself.
Brodi got his tray and got in line. Elise walked up behind him with her tray. "Hey Brodi."
Brodi turned around. "Oh, good day, Elise. Got any plans for today?"
"Well, I was thinking I would head down to the opening of the new track with Kaori."
Brodi looked at her. "With Kaori? But I thought she always goes to the coffee shop."
"Well, let's say today's not an ordinary day." And she grabbed her orange juice and eggs and went to sit with Marisol and Eddie.
Brodi put down his tray. "I have to tell Mac." He started to run back to the room. When he got there, Mac wasn't there. "Drat. I'm too late." A knock was heard on the door. Brodi opened it to see Rahzel. "Brodi, my man! Listen, today I need you to come down to the opening of the new track and keep an eye on Psymon. You're the only one who can actually talk to him without getting punched or yelled at."
"But sir.. there's something I really have to-"
"Perfect! Come with me and you can help me set up!" He grabbed his arm and pulled him down to the elevator. Brodi groaned. This was turning into a nightmare.
There's chapter 3. Chapter 4 might be up soon, might not be. My choice. Mwahahahaha. Aherm. Review please.
