Sorry for the wait! If you're still interested, forgive me if this starts getting really bad or tedious. This is extremely short, but it's all I could do for now. I've been feeling pretty brain-dead lately.

The Bait Shop

After her little dance with Miss Cooper, Alex returned to the table plastering on a smile for her friend.

"Hey Lex..." Anna acknowledged softly. "Seth told us about the bad shrimp. You feel better?"

"Did he?" stealing a glare at the now grinning boy across the table and avoiding the clear blues so much like her own. "Actually, I think I'm gonna head out. I'm feeling a bit under the weather."

"Oh crap! I forgot...I have that paper to write for Opstad. I don't wanna procrastinate or anything..." Seth exclaimed, earning a weird look from everyone at the table.

"You have to write a paper for Art?" Anna questioned suspiciously.

"Yeah, Opstad wanted me to share my genius on Comic art - " Seth suddenly winced in pain as Alex discreetly kicked the boy under the table.

"Okay...well me and Rach are just gonna hang around I guess."

"Yeah we're just gonna go now. N-nice to see you Rach." the blonde inwardly winced as she and Seth quickly got up.

"Likewise, Al...Seth." Rachael replied with a sly grin.

"Rachael...See you later Anna."

"Bye guys!" Anna squealed with a wave.

With a nod, Alex turned and stalked off with Seth in tow, but was stopped suddenly as bright hazel eyes met her own just feet away.

A little shocked, she opened her mouth as if to say something but closed it quickly, as the brunette mimicked her actions. But Alex was soon snapped back down to earth as Seth collided right into her.

"Oww come on Alex. Move it or lose it," again, earning him an elbow to the gut. "Ooph, geez woman! Again I question, why on earth am I friends with you? So abusive," he said with a pout, rubbing his stomach.

Alex rolled her eyes, and with one last glance at the brunette who had an apologetic look on her face, she continued walking without looking back.

The two best friends then reached the entrance of the Bait Shop.

"So, my place, or yours?"

"Uhh...mine. Bring your guitar."

"Will do. See ya in a few."

Alex Kelly Residence

As Alex was done freshening up and clearing her mind of both brunettes that had entered it in two completely different ways back at the Bait Shop, a knock was heard at her front door.

Shutting off her bedroom light as she walked out to the living room, she picked up the purse that she had so carelessly thrown on the floor as she entered the apartment just 15 minutes prior. The blonde then opened the door to a scrawny, shivering boy.

"Geez, take forever will ya?:

Rolling her eyes, Alex waited for Seth to get inside before shutting the door behind him, and following him over to the couch.

"You ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

"Good, 'cause Kelly, you're going DOWN."

"Right, whatever you say Cohen." she chuckled.

Alex then turned on the television and flipped on her Playstation as Seth plugged his and her guitar in.

After the loading images had passed, Alex flipped down to "Battle" mode and flipped to Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames" on Medium.

"AWWWWW you've gotta be kidding me! I suck at this song!" Seth whined.

"Exactly." the blonde replied with a smirk.

--

"That's just...not nice." Seth grunted as the 8-minute song finally ended with Alex's character doing more than 50 better than Seth's. "It gave you WAY more weapons than me!"

"Fine. You pick the next song then."

The two best friends spent the rest of the night playing Guitar Hero with Seth losing almost every song, and scarfing down Cookies n' Cream ice cream.


A/N: Eh, sorry if it sucked. Just a fun little filler for now.

Tell me when, and I'll stop. Other than that, please be nice and reply. Good or bad, it doesn't matter!
