WARNING!!!! Swatting of teens in this chapter!!! Get over it! No bad reviews please!
"Now then, time to go over rules." Charlie exclaimed as he walked over to the big red recliner he called 'the charlie chair'.
"Come on. Have a seat. Michael, go outside and feed the animals." Charlie shooed Michael away as the other five slowly made their way over to the couches.
"Now then, I am Charlie as you all know. You all will be staying with me for a year, then you will return home. You will be going to school and-"
"What's school?" Chaos asked out of curiousity.
Charlie sighed and said "Please don't interrupt. School is a place where kids go to get education."
"Oh. I don't need school! I'm already smart!" Chaos explained proudly.
"what's 4+3 equal?" Tragedy asked Chaos, knowing he would get it wrong.
"Uhhhm..." Chaos started to count on his fingers and finally said "five?" "No. you're about two numbers off."
"Oh. Three?"
"My point exactly" Tragedy blankly said
"Well, I don't care if you have a brain the size of Albert Einstein! You're still all going to school!" Charlie said
"Well okay but how do we know where to go?" Death asked
"Or how to get there?" Charm chimed in.
"I'll bring you to the school tomorrow and let someone give you a tour. Now then back to what I was saying. I know you all have an extremely big amount of power over the world and I don't want you to use it while you are here unless you get orders to use it. Got it?"
"Yup!" Death said
"uh huh" Life whispered
"Sure" Charm explained
"whatever.." said Tragedy
"Yeah!" Chaos said as he hopped up "But what if we do it accidentally?"
"Like how?" Charlie questioned as he raised an eyebrow.
"Like sometimes, I cause destruction by emotions. Like when I'm mad and I accidentally punch something than the whole thing falls down."
"Well lets try not to get THAT mad okay?" Charlie said worried about how much strength this boy had.
"Well, I can tell someone when they are gonna die and how!" Death said like she was actually proud of it.
Charlie sat there in amazement and said "Do not tell anyone that! It could screw up their life forever!"
"Fine."
"That's another thing. I don't want any of you doing anything dangerous, I want you're grades to remain above a D and I don't want any back-talking,sas,or sarcasm." He looked directly at Tragedy and said "Got that, sunshine?"
"I appreciate the kind nickname Moonbeam,but I think I'm pretty clear on what to do and what not to do." Tragedy sly remarked.
"Moonbeam huh? Well I'll count that as sarcasm and backtalking so that's your warning. Now then I will probably make new rules along the way just to make sure."
"Um, excuse me mister." Life whispered
"Please sweety, call me Charlie."
"Oh-oh okay Charlie. Uhm I need to use my powers quite often. Babies are born almost every minute in this world. How-how do I do that if I'm in school?"
"Well, how do you have to use it?" Charlie asked
"Wel-well I just have to sorta leave my body for a little while. It sorta looks like I'm just dazing."
"Ah. Well I suppose you could do that. As long as no one catches on. Hmmm....Death?"
"Yeah?" Death answered
"Doesn't death happen every minute as well as birth?"
"Well yeah, but I can use mine and no one really realize it. Like I just took a man's life about 2 minutes ago. You didn't realize did you?"
"Well no, but how does that happen?" Charlie asked. He originally knew all these answers but has forgotten them over time.
"Well, when I have to take someone's life away from them I have to direct them to Heaven or Hell. It's actually a pretty bad job, but that's what I was given so I took it. The only thing I have to do is escape my body and go to wherever it is I need to go then return. It takes about 30 seconds to do all together."
Death kept explaining and it started to seem all familiar to Charlie again, his love, the former owners of life and death,his life before he retired,his memory was completely renewed. He remembered how he destroyed part of the Earth. He knew he was Meteor for sure. He had to see Rain again.
Charlie cleared his throat and got up and streched then ,put his hands on his back,popped it, then grabbed his hat,keys,and coat and finally said "Come on. We're going shopping!"
The five got up and made their way to the truck. It only had 4 seats so they decided that the boys could sit in the bed of the truck ,even though it WAS 33 degrees outside, they said they would 'tough it out'.
While in the car one of the girls finally asked where they were heading to. Charlie just simply smiled and said "this is a small little town. Not much to do or see. So I have to take you out of town for shopping."
They drove about 50 miles out of town until they got to the next town over which was the only one who had a descent mall around that area.
They finally got to the parking lot of the mall and they all hopped out of the truck and headed inside.
"Whoa. This place is huge!" Charm said "I never thought normies would actually get out to places like this!"
Charlie laughed lightly and said "here" he handed each of them $100 dollars and some change, "I want you to go buy whatever it is that you need,clothes,music,shoes and so on."
"What if we get our hair redone?" Charm asked
"As long as you have enough money. Now meet me back here at 6:30. Got it?" They all nodded and headed off for different stores.
"Hmm...I like this shirt, and this one and this one." Charm grabbed every shirt she could. "oooh and these pants, and these shorts, and these shoes"
"Uhm Charm, I don't think you have enough money for all that stuff" Life said "besides dont you want music and stuff too?''
"Not really now go shop and leave me alone!" Charm just picked up another shirt, she could care less about music.
Meanwhile, Chaos was in a sports store looking for jerseys that he fancied. He didn't know much about the teams but he used to watch people who were watching football. He picked up a few football jerseys and then went and got some shorts and a tan coat.
Tragedy on the other hand just stood in the store looking at shirts. He liked a few but he really didn't care for them.
He grabbed a striped long sleeve shirt and green short sleeved one and decided that he would get 4 more shirts and that would be enough for a while. He got some jeans too. Then he saw the hair dresser's
"Hmmm...I think I want my hair done." He went in and the lady at the counter greeted him with a smile and took him back to the dying area.
"Now then, what colors would you like to put in your hair?" The lady asked in a rather nasely accent
"Green streaks." Tragedy almost smiled at the idea. Almost.
"Well, I'll recolor the black then put green in okay?"
"Fine."
Tragedy sat there and got his hair done while Death looked through a bunch of black pants and shirts.
"I think I'll get 5 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, a pair of shoes, a hat, nailpolish, and this cloak." Death said averaging out her money.
"Just enough!" She said to her self. She checked out then went to go see where the others were.
Everyone but Tragedy met back at the precise time and immediately Charlie said "where's Tragedy?"
"Beats me." Charm shrugged "Last time I saw him he was in the hair salon."
"Pfft, he's gettin his hair done?! ha ha ha" Chaos laughed at the thought of a guy getting his hair done.
"Hey! Guys can get their hair done too! There isn't anything wrong with that!" Charm exclaimed, standing up for Tragedy.
"Come on." Charlie said as he made his way to the hair salon.
As soon as they got up there Tragedy was just walking out with a brand new hair-do.
"What in the world did you do to your hair?" Charlie asked in a suprised voice.
"I didn't do anything. SHE cut and dyed my hair." Tragedy said pointing to the nasely lady
"I see. Well you're already in deep water for smarting off again. So if I were you, I wouldn't push it kid." Charlie warned
"Whatever." Tragedy could care less about their opinion. He liked his hair.
Charlie sighed and said "come on. Lets go home."
They all drove home and made their way inside but Michael came out of the barn and grabbed Tragedy and Chaos and pulled them back to the barn.
"I need y'all to help me with this hay." Michael said as he picked up a bell.
"How do we help?" Chaos asked
"Just pick up those hay bells and toss up on the bed of the truck." Michael demonstrated "like that."
"Okay." Chaos grabbed 3 bells of hay and tossed them on.
"Wow. Your much stronger than I am! You're even stronger than Uncle Charlie!"
"Really?"
"Sure are! What about you? Why aint you workin?" Michael asked Tragedy
"I have back problems." Tragedy lied
"Yeah right. You just don't want to work! Lazy ass!" Chaos screamed
"Indeed." Tragedy remarked. "I may be lazy but at least I'm smarter than a carton of eggs."
"That's it!" Chaos charged straight towards Tragedy with force and anger driving him.
Tragedy simply stepped aside and Chaos ran straight into the barn causing the wall to collapse and brought the whole barn down. Everything fell down and Chaos still wanted to fight. He swung his fist again and Tragedy caught it in his hand and simply said "You miss."
Michael had gotten out of the fallen building with just a bloody knee. He immediately went to retrieve his uncle and get a band-aid.
"Uncle Charlie! Uncle Charlie!" Michael said limping to the house.
Charlie came outside and saw the barn, he then looked off the porch to see his nephew limping. He walked down the stairs and said "What happened?"
"They started fighting." Michael said pointing to the two boys.
"I'll be right back." He ran to the boys fighting and seperated them.
"What in God's name do you think you two are doin?" Charlie asked as he tried to calm Chaos down.
"Bonding." Tragedy remarked.
"I see. Well let's call this bonding as well." He picked the two boys up and took them inside the house then sent both of them to his room.
"I'd rather not go." Tragedy sighed
Charlie stepped beside Tragedy and swatted his rear twice and replied "Unless you want worse, you'll do as I say."
Tragedy had NO idea what the man just did to him but he decided he'd better go just in case.
"Whatever." Tragedy walked towards Charlie's room with no emotion but Chaos wasn't too pleased by what just happend...
