Warning: This chapter contains manliness, beer, and bro bonding XD

This amount of hilarity has to be illegal XD thanks for helping me create one of the funniest chapters brother!(My manliness consultant)

"Okay, here is the plan." Kathy sat next to me on the floor. She handed me a small bag. Luke, sitting on my other side, took it and shook the bag. It jingled and coins were in it. "I'm giving you 2,000G. That should last you at least a week."

"Oh no Kathy I can'-"

She shook her head. "I insist. You guys need it way more than we do. Don't expect me to give you money all the time. You gotta start getting your own. Mine, fish, farm, do something to earn a profit or you'll end up starving."

I smiled and hugged her from behind. "You wouldn't let us starve!"

"Oh yes I would." We giggled. Luke shook his head and looked up at Kasey. He looked down at him and rolled his eyes. Luke laughed a little. I turned around and glanced at both of them.

"You two need to become friends! You need a guy friend, Kasey." I wagged a finger at him. He just shrugged and shoved his hands deeper in his pajama pockets. Kathy clapped her hands and pointed at Ian. "You should join them!" Ian blinked.

"What? Me? No."

"C'mon bro!" I urged. "Make some friends! Go out and have fun!" I grabbed Luke by the arm and did my best to raise him to his feet. Kathy pushed Ian and Kasey outside. The three guys stared at us. We waved and shouted, "HAVE FUN!"

"Well it's just the three of us and the awkward zone."

"What's the awkward zone?" Ian asked.

"It's when guys are left alone that don't know each other well and can't start up a conversation."

"The only way to fix this is with copious amounts of alcohol! TO THE BAR!" Kasey declared, striking a dramatic pose while Luke cheered. Ian pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Hi welcome to the Brass Bar! What will you-"

"BEER!" Kasey and Luke screamed at the waiter and high fived. The waiter chuckled and scribbled it down on his notepad. He turned to Ian and pointed his pencil at him. "Will you have the same thing, sir?"

Ian waved it off. "I'll just have a water."

Kasey and Luke nearly dropped their glasses. They glanced at each other and stared back at Ian. Then they started chanting, "Wuss! Wuss! Wuss!"

Ian sighed and called the waiter back. "Fine!" He spat, "I'll have a beer."

"YEAH!" The two men screamed in the background.

Meanwhile, me, Angela, and Renee were at home watching TV.

"Hey," Angela said as she sat beside me. "What do you think the guys are up to right now?"

"Now don't tell anyone, but I'm thinking of asking Kathy out." Ian was saying as Kathy was standing right in front of him, placing his new drink on the table.

To this, Kasey replied, "I'll keep your secret if you can keep this one. I kinda like Renee."

Luke snorted at this. "Oh yeah, big surprise."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's pretty obvious. I mean, every time she's around, you just stand there with this weird look on your face."

As he picked up his drink, Ian added, "Yeah, it's the only time you ever shut up."

With a growl, Kasey tried to push him from his seat, but only succeeded in falling from his own chair. He had been seeing double and tried to push the wrong Ian. With his face in the floorboards, he asked, "How about you, Luke?"

Luke turned a little red at this and admitted, "Well, I think Lily is kinda cute."

"Awww." Kasey said as he picked himself up. "Don't you think you should get big brother's permission first?"

"Well Ian, do I have big brother's permission to like his sister?"

Ian pretended to think really hard about it, and Luke started getting nervous about his reaction.

"Yeah, I guess."

Luke reached across the table and gave Ian his own high five.

Kasey had managed to find his feet by now. "Well, I guess it's official now. Just one problem."

Luke looked at him. "What's that?"

"You didn't say to keep it a secret!" He shouted as he zipped out the door with Ian's shirt collar in his fist.

Luke's alcohol-impaired brain took a few seconds to realize what just happened.

I yawned and looked at Angela and Renee, passed out on the floor. Movie cases and popcorn littered the floor. I clicked off the TV and placed a blanket over the two girls. I got up slowly and walked over to my bed. Before I could get there I glanced out the window and saw a large puff of dirt swirling around. My heart raced as I watched the smoke get closer. I scooted back from the door as it flew open and Kasey and Ian stood there, panting and laughing like psychos.

"Uh guys?"

"Hey Lily! We got somethin' important to tell ya!"

"What?"

They froze and looked at each other. "We forgot."
