AN: You might not remember, but back in chapter 4, I mentioned that I had to cut a scene I had intended to put in but couldn't find a way to fit it in easily. Anyway, this is that deleted scene, which occurs when the Boho Kids are starting to explore Los Angles. (It's mostly a reference to Mighty Ducks 2, but I had a mental image of the Boho Kids doing something like this, so I needed to write it.)
In an unrelated story, the results of my previous poll are now available for viewing. A huge thank you to everyone who voted. Also, my profile now contains a Beta-reader request for the winning story. I'd appreciate it if anyone interested send me a PM. Thank you very much. Now, on to the deleted scene.
The Boho Kids made their way down the street, trying to decide on what to do first.
"I don't get it. Why do they call it Beverly Hills?" Alvin asked as they approached Rodeo Drive. "I'm not seeing any hills, are you?"
"Forget about that," Rodolfo replied. "I wanna see some movie stars. We're close to Hollywood, so where's Angelina Jolie? Where's Will Smith?"
"Come on, Brown Eyes," Kris laughed. "They're just people. How would you like it if random strangers kept gawking at you on a regular basis?"
"Well, when you put it that way," Rodolfo gave in.
"Come on, guys, let's check out some stores," Zack suggested, steering his friends to a nearby clothing store. However, when he tried to open the door, he found that the door was locked shut.
"Maybe they're out for lunch?" Rodolfo guessed, trying to think of a reason why the store would be closed at this hour.
"Hey, there's a doorbell," Zack noticed, pointing to a call button located by the door.
"Well, that's different," Kris smiled placidly, pressing the call button.
"Yes, hello?" a snotty voice spoke from the speaker grate.
"Hi," Alvin responded. "We were wondering if we could come and look around the store, but the door's locked."
"I'm sorry, but we do not allow unsupervised children inside the store," the store owner replied rudely. The Boho Kids shared an annoyed look upon hearing the store owner's tone.
"Can you make an exception?" Alvin asked.
"No," the store owner snapped. "Now go away or the police will be called."
"Unsupervised children?" Kris frowned. "We're all fifteen and sixteen. A century or so ago, we would have been married with children by now."
"Yeah, you said it, Kris," Rodolfo scowled. "I hate guys like that."
"Come on, let's go," Alvin glared at the store before starting to walk off.
"Hang on," Zack spoke up, suddenly smiling deviously. "I wanna try something. I'll show him 'unsupervised children'." Stepping forward, Zack pressed the call button.
"What!?" the store owner's voice snapped again.
"Hi," Zack spoke into the speaker grill. "We'd like four burgers, four fries, and….hey guys, what do you want to drink?"
"YOU KIDS GET OUT OF HERE!" the shop owner screamed in annoyance as the Boho Kids ran off laughing.
