Part VII

"I can't believe it. We won ten thousand dollars!" Hikari shouted with excitement
"Believe it already. You've been going on about it for a while now. You're starting to annoy me!" Shinji muttered
"Are you guys 18 or older? I can't give you the money otherwise." The banker asked. Hikari and Shinji exchanged glances and instantly knew what to do
"Oh you flatter me. That anti-wrinkle cream must be working well." Hikari smiled while Shinji face palmed. The banker gave Hikari a funny look and then glanced towards Shinji to as if to say 'Does she think I'm an idiot?'
"Ignore my dumb friend here. She's only 16 and extremely dumb. But no worries I'm 18." Shinji said simply
"I'm not so sure... do you have any id on you?" the banker asked. Hikari giggled again
"Oh stop it. Don't be silly, you can obviously see my real age under all this plastic surgery and anti-wrinkle cream. I'm 52, and I would like that money please." Hikari said tapping the banker on the arm
"Sorry kids. I can't give you this money considering you're underage." The banker said. Shinji stood up and slammed his fist onto the desk
"Look at me properly and seriously now? Do I look underage? I'm an independent 18 year old and I work hard every single day! I won the money fair and square and I definitely deserve it for putting up with this pathetic excuse of a girl. So don't ask me if I'm underage again because I'm not and you're wasting valuable time." Shinji shouted angrily, the banker panicked a little while everyone else in the bank looked over at their desk
"What? I'm a pathetic excuse of a girl?" Hikari asked in anger
"You heard me!" Shinji snarled
"How rude! You need to learn some manners or I'll knock them into you." Hikari shouted
"Per-lease... you're not even worth my time." Shinji said
"Okay, okay! I believe you. If I give you the money will you get out of here?" The banker said stamping the card and passing a huge wad of money over to Shinji and Hikari

"Here's the deal. We split the money in half and get $5000 each." Hikari said
"Sounds good enough. You'd probably spend it all on pointless stuff and blow it all away in one day. I'm gonna be smart and not do that." Shinji said
"I'm not going to blow it all away!" Hikari moaned
"But you will blow it all away. And then you'd be asking me for money that I spared." Shinji said in a mean tone
"I can spare my money just as much as you can." Hikari argued
"No you can't."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't!"
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Yes I can! Yes I can! Yes I can!"
"Whoa... you guys sound just like this musical I once watched." A random kid said. Hikari and Shinji swivelled round instantly to see who made the comment. He wore a leather jacket with a plain shirt underneath and some jeans with casual trainers. He had brown scruffy hair and grey eyes, a friendly looking boy who was wearing a smile on his face. He was about... 17

"Who the hell are you?" Shinji asked
"I'm Cloud, who are you guys? And are you rehearsing for a play or something?" Cloud asked with a cheerful smile
"I'm Hikari" Hikari smiled
"It's none of your business who we are. Get lost!" Shinji said
"Shinji don't be rude. No wonder you don't have friends." Hikari said
"I don't need friends. They're distracting and bring me down." Shinji grunted
"I can see somebody's grumpy." Cloud laughed "Are you guys going to the grand opening of that new nightclub down the street?" he asked
"Nightclub?" Hikari asked while Shinji paid no attention
"Yeah, everyone's talking about it but the entrance fee is quite a lot. I'm not going to miss out obviously. You guys should come along too. It'll be great fun!" Cloud suggested
"Cool. I've never been to a nightclub before." Hikari smiled
"You haven't? Well you're gonna love it. Be there by 8 tonight with your grumpy friend. I'll get you guys in for free." Cloud said
"And how exactly are you going to do that?" Shinji asked now interested
"I know people." Cloud said
"Why are you inviting us all of a sudden? What about your other friends?" Hikari asked
"My other friends are back at home in Italy while my friend who is here has gone missing. You guys seem fun though, you surely can't miss the opportunity." Cloud laughed
"Okay we'll be there." Hikari smiled
"Whatever." Shinji said

Later...
"Come on Shinji. I said we'd be there." Hikari moaned pulled Shinji by the arm. Shinji and Hikari were in the hotel room they were staying in. It was a five star hotel and a very high room. The room was luxurious
"No way. I don't trust that Cloud guy. He's too nice." Shinji said lying on his bed
"Don't be like that Shinji. We're far away from home and tired. I'm sure you deserve a fun night out, so come on!" Hikari said
"If I come along will you shut up and leave me alone?" Shinji asked
"Sure." Hikari smiled
Hikari and Shinji left the hotel room and walked to the club which was luckily across the extremely busy street full of standstill traffic. They saw Cloud standing outside the club like he said he would be
"Hey you made it. Hikari you're going to be boiling in that coat." Cloud said
"Don't worry. I got something thinner on underneath." Hikari smiled
"Let's see your outfit then." Cloud said gesturing at Hikari. Hikari then unbuttoned her coat and showed off a loose t-shirt, very short shorts and brown fuzzy boots.
"Cool, you look hot." Cloud said not really bothering to look at Hikari properly
"Whoa!" Shinji said looking Hikari up and down. He did not expect her to dress so strange for the nightclub. It was weird, like she was tempting him or something
"You bet whoa. I put a lot of effort into this outfit." Hikari smiled feeling quite happy that she managed to impress Shinji. Shinji was one of those people who were impossible to impress. Cloud looked a little impatient now
"Come on guys. The club isn't gonna wait forever." Cloud said walking up to the security guard. Shinji and Hikari follow
"Hey Cloud. Two guests of yours?" the security guard said instantly recognising the three of them
"Yeah Bob. Can you let us in now?" Cloud said putting about $200 in the security guards pocket
"Sure thing." Bob said opening the front door to the disco lit, loud club
"Wow. So this is what a nightclub is like inside." Hikari said looking around in amazement
"Duh..." Shinji said pulling his 'duh'face

Author's Note: This chapter may have been a little boring... sorry. But don't worry, because next chapter I have an awesome drunk scene planned and I'm revising drunk scenes so I can make them as crazy as possible. When's the next update? I don't know... :P and also what do you think of the new character I added in? In fact... what do you think of the chapter in general?

Thanks for reading and bye for now
