Prince Penguin

Chapter Four . Lucas and Barry's Important News!


The drive back to Twinleaf seemed longer than the ride from there, but it allowed Kenny some time to calm down. When the driver finally stopped in front of his house, he made sure to get his number so he could call him if he ever needed a ride back.

"If my mother or Mr. Jonessy ask where I am, do not tell them. They'll be able to figure it out anyway," he directed, before backing away from the shiny vehicle. The boy then grabbed the key from its hiding spot in the backyard before entering through the back door.

"Kenny! Where were you?" Inside the house, a blonde boy, the speaker, was sprawled out on the couch with a sandwich in his mouth. A black-haired boy who was sitting next to him on the couch sighed at his friend's manners.

"Welcome back, Kenny. Barry and I visited last night, but you guys weren't home. The door was unlocked," The boy on the ground explained. The TV was on and the two were playing one of Kenny's fighting games. "Dude, aim for the robots, not me!" Lucas exclaimed.

Kenny shut the door and sat down next to Barry. "So you guys just decided to stick around at my house and make yourselves comfortable?"

"Well, we left to get some snacks, but yeah, pretty much!"

"We told our parents we'd be staying over at your house once it seemed like you weren't coming back. Mainly just so we could play your video games."

Barry laughed loudly, "Yeah right, actually we searched your room to see if you had a diary!"

Kenny rolled his eyes at the two. "You guys are idiots," he sighed.

"Hey! Rude!" the blonde on the couch exclaimed.

"It was mainly geared towards you, Barry, so I am actually not that offended," the raven haired boy on the ground calmly commented before fist pumping the air. "Yes! Next level!"

"You're even more rude!"

"So where were you anyway? And where's your mom?" Lucas asked, ignoring the pouting teen.

"I'd rather not talk about it," Kenny sighed, reaching for a controller as well.

"Something stressful?"

"Extremely."

"I can almost tell from those stiff clothes. Well, we're here to talk if you need it," Lucas replied, quickly jabbing at various buttons in a skilled manner.

"Hey, Lucas, are you not gonna tell him?" Barry interrupted.

"Tell me what?"

"I don't think it's that important," Lucas replied.

"What's not important?"

Barry snorted and retorted, "Are you kidding me man, of course it's important. It's Kenny!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It seems like he's got a lot on his mind so telling him now might not be the best idea," the other boy replied, adjusting his seating on the ground.

"Man, you're cruel Lucas," Barry sighed, softly pushing the other.

"Okay, seriously, if you don't tell me I will kick you out of my house," Kenny growled. Lucas snickered.

"Guess who's coming home?" He questioned, pausing the game. Barry started to chuckle along with him. Kenny rolled his eyes at the two again.

"Who?"

The two friends exchanged sly smiles before throwing their hands up in the air.

"Dawn's coming back!" they shouted in unison.

Kenny's controller dropped from his hands.

"What?"

"Aren't you happy, Kenny? Your wittle girlfriend is coming back!" Barry teased, pretending to be moved to tears. He patted Kenny's head as Lucas appeared on his other side and patted his back.

"I know you've waited so long to see her, Kenny. Aren't we just great for telling you?" Lucas mimicked Barry's way of speaking. Kenny however, ignored their teasing. He was too shocked. He was even more excited.

"She's coming back? When? Where is she coming from? What time will she get here? What are her plans when she comes back? Does she want to see me?" Kenny blurted out after recovering from his shock.

"Man, you might miss her more than Mr. Older Brother right here," Barry snickered, gesturing to Lucas. The taller boy seemed to flush as he hit him softly, moving around Kenny.

"Shut up. She's my sister, why wouldn't I miss her?"

"When did you guys find out? When is she coming back?" Kenny repeated. Lucas smiled at her.

"She texted me yesterday before we came here. That was another reason we stayed here. We kinda guessed you would want to be one of the first to figure out to," he replied.

"Oh, right, Kenny, did 'ya get your phone back yet? She asked us for your number but we don't know if it changed or not. She said she'll text us when she's on the way here. She wants her actual arrival to be a surprise," Barry explained. The auburn haired boy shook his head.

"Nah, not yet. I was actually just gonna stop by here and get a change of clothes before going out to get it. Wanna come with? It's just in Sandgem town, not too far," Kenny suggested, before getting up and dusting off his crisp clothes.

"Sure, I got nothing else to do," Barry agreed.

"I'll go stop by Mr. Rowan's office on the way there," Lucas commented.

Soon, the three were off and Kenny made sure to properly lock the door this time.


(A/N) Thank you for reading!

This is such a filler chapter, I'm sorry;;;; But Dawn's arrival will be coming soon! It'll be another two chapters or so, ahaha;;;

Also, I hope you don't mind that Lucas is playing the part of older brother in this fanfiction. Considering how he isn't really a character in the anime, I kinda decided it on my own;;;;;
The next chapter is under editing! If I am able to finish it up and have a rough draft of chapter 5 done by this Saturday, it will be uploaded.

However, next week until the 15th, I will be without my computer. I do have my phone and will try to write out what I can, but considering how I am to be entering the IBDP program and will need to be finishing up reflections and summer homework before September, I am not positive I will be able to update quickly. I am very sorry.

Although, I'm not quite sure how many people are interested in this storry, ahaha ^^;;;; but I will try my best to finish it!

I hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review of feedback or criticism, if you can. I hope you can anticipate the next few chapters!
