A/N
Marc: Where are they?
Lee: No idea, I see no sign of Tony nor Snowy
Megan: Are we suppose to start without them? It would be hectic if we wrote the chapter you know!
Marc: But change is good and we write the chapter with change! Change is what every living creature needs to go through to survive. And every non living creature for that matter! Did you know-
Megan and Lee: Shut up Marc!
Marc: ... Did Tony get your message Lee? Did you even send it?
Lee: I... think so? Ha... ha...
Megan: Oh great, now we'll never find Snowy or get Tony back here!
Tony: What are you talking about? I'm right here!
Marc Lee and Megan: Tony!
Marc: Did you find her?
Tony: Nope, man when she needs a vacation and time away, there's NO stopping OR finding her!
Megan: It's been over three months! She needs to move on this story and her other stories!
Lee: And start the other stories she wants to start.
Marc: She said something about being over stressed though, that isn't her fault. To write stories, at least from what I've heard, you have to be what's called the "writing mood"
Lee: Does this mean we have to write the chapter ourselves?
Marc: Yep. And were changing it up! Since this is sort of... Climax chapter I guess.
Megan: Awww... the story is almost over?
Marc: Uh... looks like it. Here are some notes for this chapter she wrote down...
Tony: Let me see it!
Marc: Stop it! Ow! Here!
Tony: Mutter... mutter... dah dah dah... ah here. It says that "The story itself probably has only 5 more chapters left, including this one"
Lee: Sad... but I hope it has a happy ending.
Marc: This story really isn't happy now... is it?
Tony: Nope.
Marc: Well, good thing were like separate characters from the story going on.
Tony: Wait what?
Marc: Were imaginary characters from Snowy's head I think...
Tony: So she imagines us?
Marc:... Never mind.
Lee: Okay then... Ugh I don't want to do this!
Megan: Well your lazy! Were going to write the chapter! And if were gonna write this chapter... I call thanking reviewers!
Tony: It's on here already, so here.
Megan: Ahem
"Lexer047- Thank you so much! I guess I have done a pretty good job really at least. :)"
And
"XoXBloodyAliceT.T- I know... poor Tony! He's all depressed and stuff... let's see what happens to him this chapter, eh?"
Lee: Wow... Lame! Only 2 reviewers for the last chapter.
Megan: Wait, one last reviewer...
"Starsabove: I know it's been awhile, hope this chapter makes up for the long wait... sort of... :/."
Lee: 3 reviews? Okay I guess...
Tony: Well it wasn't THAT good of a chapter...
Marc: Yeah but snowy is out of the writing thing as it is. Reviewers push her to write, even when she doesn't want to.
Tony: Well she needs to suck it up!
Viewers: Yeah! And start writing that Tony X Marc love fanfict!
Marc: Wait...
Tony: WHAT?
Megan: Guys!
Clark brothers: What?
Megan: Snowy has the ideas and most of it written down! It's a little weird though this time...
Lee: Were going with it... And before our two youngest brothers have a heart attack and or faint let's start this chapter!
Tony's POV
I walked downstairs from the roof to the upper part of the museum, where there were no art pieces of any kind. I frowned slightly, realizing this was the staff area. I wasn't even suppose to be here. I shrugged slightly. I didn't really care. It didn't matter, no one was up here anyways.
"Hey! Kid!" Looks like I was wrong.
I flicked my gaze over to the nearby staircase, my eyes widening at the size of the security cop coming toward me. He towered over me like he was big foot or something. And let me say, he is hairy enough to be his mom!
"What are ye doing up here? Ye better get downstairs, ya hear?" The security guard growled at me. I couldn't help but let out a chuckle though. His voice... it sounded like one from a lame pirate movie!
"What's so funny?" He questioned me.
"Oh uh... nothing. Sorry. I'll go now!" I hurried away, quickly regaining myself and wanting to get away from big foot's relative over there.
Of course, nothing was never that easy...
"Where's yer mom kid?"
"Um... downstairs?" He offered, hoping he would believe him. If he didn't... well, he would be turned over to the police for his parents to come pick up and to await the siblings that still probably hated him and wanted him dead at home. He didn't want to go back to his home unless Marc and the others came to find him themselves, then he could at least believe his siblings wanted him and weren't hating him, at the very least, anymore.
"I don't know... I should go with ya. Make sure the little ye finds there parents."He mutters, almost thoughtfully.
"No. It's fine." I insisted. I have to get out of here...
"No, it's not fin ya youngin." The police guard growled. "Now come on!"
The next thing I knew, I was being dragged downstairs, my heart racing, I had to have a plan. Something... I just had to get out of here. Come on brain work! I was beginning to regret not taking Marc up on his offers to tutor me. Maybe if I had, it would simpler to actually use my brain.
Before long, we were downstairs. I had no idea what to do now! I had no plan and I was just being dragged along. I could run... but what good would that do? That could get not only a psycho after me, but the police as well! Plus the police activity could alert Jerry.
Then, the last thing I expected happened, we were near the entrance of the museum, with the police man talking and muttering to himself, when suddenly a familiar voice echoed in my ears.
"Tony!"
Marc's POV
"Marc wake up!"I groan silently for a second and slowly blink my eyes open. I look up for a second at Megan, confusion clouding my thoughts, before I finally yawned and stretched, finding myself face to face with Megan.
"Where are we now?" I muttered.
"Oakland California." Lee answered.
"Which is a town no one knows about unless you live in or very near the town." Megan scowled. "That woman couldn't have sent Tony any place that isn't... I don't know... maybe something that is actually on the map!
"Oakland is on the map you know Megan." I informed before leaping down. "And really, many people know of it. Did you know-."
"You just had to get him started! Didn't you Megan?" Lee growled.
I frowned. "Sorry." I muttered.
"It's okay Marc, you know Lee. He has no patience anyways." Megan informed,
glaring at her eldest brother.
Lee simply shrugged in response.
"Well anyways... since Oakland is a smaller town, there's less places for us to look for Tony." Marc informed. "Which means we'll find him sooner!"
But that also means that with less places... the less places that psycho has to look for Tony... that means she'll find him sooner.
I thought you were suppose to help me! Encourage me! I thought, scowling angrily as I realized sub conscious Tony was talking to me outside of my dreams, again.
Nope! I'm just-
My thoughts. Your me. You k now what I know. yeah yeah. Go away! I snapped
in my brain.
All that I heard was chuckling Tony. Wow, how I ever did miss my annoy little brother's chuckle... his voice rain in my ears. Touchy today? Now pull yourself together! You have a brother to find.
I nodded mentally and snapped back to focus, following my siblings.
Lee's POV (Third Person)
"Come on guys!" Lee called, already in his red spy suit.
The two middle Clarks blinked, they both had seemed to have forgotten something very important to jumping out of the whoop jet. There spy suits. Without a word, Marc and Megan dashed away to find them, leaving the oldest brunette waiting impatiently for there return.
"How could you guys forget your stupid spy suits." Lee grumbled loudly. "How
else are we going to get out of the plane?"
"Keep in mind, Marc here just woke up." Megan informed, her pink spy suit on.
Behind her, Marc hurried to join his siblings, now sporting his blue spy suit.
"Wait what?" Marc asked. "I heard my name... what about me?"
Lee chuckled. I thought he was the smart one, the "alert" one. He thought before saying. "Let's just go." With that, the eldest Clark leaped out of the plane. Followed by his sister and older younger brother.
The three Clarks all landed perfectly. Now that they were out of the jet, it was time to work in spy mode. Even though the town was smaller, like Marc had said, it doesn't mean Tony is going to be like finding... a certain crayon color out of a 64 crayon box. It was going to be much harder then that!
"Where would Tony even be?" Lee questioned. "Who knows how long he has been here
and how far he is away."
"I would say he could be pretty far really." Megan stated, Marc gave a slight nod of agreement.
"We should split up then." Lee stated, pausing for any disagreements. When none came, he spoke. "I'll take to the edges of town, Megan you hit any comic book shops and video game shops. Marc, look around here for any sign of the little guy."
"Aye. Aye." Megan replied, running off.
Lee flipped on his jet boots and looked to Marc, who was already making his way
to around here. "Marc."
The younger brunette turned to face the older one, blinking slowly. "Yes?"
"We'll find him Marc. We won't let that physco get him and you know it. Right?"
Marc gave Lee a slight smile. It made Lee feel better, more confident, slightly. After all, that was Marc's first smile he had seen since this whole Tony running away mission thing had started.
"I've been telling myself that Lee... and honestly... I wish it was that simple... but I think... know I know your right. That I'm right. Tony will be okay." Marc stated.
Lee nodded. "That's right." I stated, flying off. "Good luck bro!"
Megan's POV
I found myself having no sign of Tony anywhere, I used my high-tech, looking for any footprints, any finger prints, anything that was of Tony's. I was having no such luck.
I looked inside the store, outside, and around the store. I even ended up asking
a few store clerks if they had seen him. And I asked them all in the same way... just like this next one I see that I'm coming into. Hopefully he's seen him.
"Have you seen this boy?" I asked, holding up my phone to the guy's face. On the
screen showed all four of us, my brothers and I, smiling at the camera. "The black haired kid on the right side." She replied, pointing.
Everyone I went up to, however, at least those that I had talked to, all said the same thing.
"I haven't, little lady, sorry." Granted I had only visted like 3 stores so far, but still there weren't hundereds of comic book stores or video game stores in Oakland!
I sighed sadly and looked down at my phone picture. Right now my wall paper was
that picture was using to show everyone who I was looking for.
This picture did have memories really... It had a story and it was memorable. It had made me so mad at the time... but looking back on it... it was kind of funny.
Flashback- Narrator
"I know it was you that ruined my dress Tony! Now talk!" Megan growled as she pinned her youngest brother.
"I have no idea what your talking about!" Tony replied, struggling underneath his sister, he wasn't strong, like at all. The 9 year old boy had almost muscles to use to help himself get up or push his sister up or anythign like that. He could try to wiggle out but even that motion was limted. He was basically trapped, and at the mercy of the furious Raven haired girl above her.
Megan growled at her brother. 'Oh yeah? Then who got tomato sauce all over my dress! The dress I need today."
"What dress?" Tony asked sheepishly.
Megan growled again before letting out angry igh. "Fine then. I see how it's going to be." Without warning, Megan dug her fingers into Tony's side and began furiously tickling. Tony, having no idea his sister was even going to do to this, being very ticklish himself, and being trapped underneath his tickling sister, Tony had no choice but to burst out in a fit of laughter.
"So Tony, know anything about my dress yet?" Megan asked with an evil smile.
Tony hated being tickled so much, and all of his siblings knew. So it was no surprise to Megan when Tony finally spilled.
"Stop! I did it!" Tony managed to yowl between his laughs.
Megan stopped at once and yowled angerily at her brother. "Tony! You little
idiot! I'll-"
Not wanting to see what Megan would do next, Tony managed to pull his legs free from under Megan and sprint away. The one good thing about being small, you could slip out of many more places then others, and you could run faster. No one could out run the little Raven-hair boy.
The youngest Clark dahed upstairs to his room and slammed the door shut, holding the door shut against Megan with the help of some heavy objects.
"Tony! I'm going to kill you! I can't belivie you runied my good dress!" Megan's voice rang as she pounded on her two younger sibling's door. "You totally did this on purpose!"
"Says you!" Tony called and stuck his tounge out at the door. Fourtantly Megan didn't see that or else that already very steamed girl might have exploded on her brother.
Marc, having been in the room all along, looked up from his book with a look at his younger sibling. "What did you do now?"
Tony grinned at the smart brunette. "Why do you always think it's me? How do you know Megan isn't just blaming me for what she thinks happened?"
Marc rolled his eyes and stuck his nose back into the book he was holding. "This
is you we are talking about right? The same Tony that has brought home 3 destructive pets, destroyed half of my things, leaves our room so messy it would look better if a monsoon hit it, and-"
"I get it!" Tony laughed as he stepped away from the door he had holding shut.
Big mistake. Not even a second later, Megan came crashing in, glaring darkly at the younger raven. Tony let out a surprised almost squeak noise and dashed quickly to hide behind Marc. The young genius himself had jumped slightly in alarm from Megan's entrance and was now finding himself as a human shield.
"Tony! I have no time to fix this before the family photo today! Why did you get
tomato sauce all over it!" Megan yowled angrily.
"Um... I thought it was napkin and I was eating? Um... he.. he..." Tony said sheepishly, fear dripping into his voice.
Megan growled loudly. "Marc, get out of the way. Now."
Tony latched onto his brother's shoulders and wouldn't let go. "Don't let her hurt me!" He begged Marc, true fear in his voice. Megan, when mad, could get really nasty. Really nasty. "Say something smart! Please Marc!"
Marc hesitated for a minute, not wanting to get involved, but the feeling of knowing it was right to help Tony here became to great, so the young genius sighed before saying. "Maybe it's for the best Megan."
"What!" Megan exclaimed angerily, as if shocked that her sibling cloest in age had suggested it.
"Let me explain." Marc stated calmly while Tony was attepting to shrink behind his brother into something Megan could never see. "Lee, Tony and I are not wearing anything fancy. We'll make sure were clean and stuff, but were not dressing up, and mom and dad said that was fine. If you wore that dress though... you would look nice, but just out of place... and it's eaiser for you to look nice in your normal clothes, which you do look great in, instead of the rest of gettng all fancy to match your dress."
Megan didn't respond at first. She only blinked slowly for a second, almost seeming to consider all of this for a second.
"I guess your right... but mom bought me dress... and tomato sauce stains are nearly impossible to get out and you know that Marc!" Megan stated with a worried frown.
"Tony didn't mean it... right little T?" Marc asked looking back at the young
Raven.
Tony nodded with hesitation.
"I'm sorry Megan... Please don't kill me!" Tony cried.
Megan sighed and grumbling. "Fine. Whatever." She stated walking out, pausing once briefly to say to her genius of a brother. "Thanks Marc."
Tony waited until his sister was gone before sighing in relief and climbing back onto the floor. "Thank god!"
Marc chuckled. "Be thankful I saved your butt. Again."
Tony rolled his eyes. "Shut up Marc!"
2 hours later
"Aw... you guys look so good!"
"Well are normal clothes just work Mom." Lee informed.
"Totally!" Megan agreed.
The two younger Clarks nodded there agreements.
Cal and Karen Clark smiled at each other and began setting the camera up for the shot.
Taking the chance, Megan sharply jabbed her youngest brother in the side to get his attention. Tony cringed and held his side in pain.
"Ow..." The raven moaned.
Lee blinked. "What was that for Meg?"
Marc rolled his eyes. "Stay out of it Lee, trust me. I'll explain later if you really want to know."
Megan smirked at her eldest brother for a second, basically telling him to listen to Marc before glaring back down at Tony. "Consider that part on of your payment. Part two, you'll work off by doing my chores for a month and me taking all of your video games for a month. That should be able to pay off my dress nicely."
Tony gaped in shock while Lee began to buckle over in attempted silent laughter so he didn't alter the parents. Marc frowned slightly.
"Hey! I play those videogame too Megan!" Marc complained.
Megan grinned. "Blame Tony then. Not my fault." She turned her glare to Tony.
"I'll forgive you if you go along with this, and mom and dad will never know."
"And if I don't?" Tony asked, curious.
Megan frowned. "I tell mom and dad and you get grounded, problaly 'torture' you a little, then very painfully kill you." Megan replied.
Tony gulped before nodding relucatnly. "You win, I'll do it..."
Megan nodded with a smile and turned her attention back to the camera.
"Alright kids, get ready." The four Clark kids got into postion and looked up at the camera.
"Just you guys first... next picture we'll be in it. Say Cheese!" Karen exclaimed.
"Cheese!" The Clark siblings stated, though Tony was more half hearted then the
rest, his smile obviously fake.
End of Flashback
He does a good job with fake smiling... and suprisingly he did basiclly keep to deal. I thought, chuckling Guess my threats were real and he realized that.
Once out of the joy of the memory I couldn't help but sigh sadly. Just like my brothers, Tony being in trouble, running away, it made me really worried about him. And I truly missed him. Truthfully, I'd give up all of my dresses, let Tony ruin all of them without consequences, I'd give up anything really... just have my littlest brother back.
Tony...Where are you? Please be okay... please be willing to found and come home...
"Excuses me?"
I look up in surprise as this really cute guys looks at me. He was holding a video game in one hand, the other hand by his side. I blinked in surprise before smiling.
"I was just dropping off this game, wanna grab a soda?" The guy offered me. I nodded insantly, suddenly, my mind was all on this really cute guy in front of me!
Lee's POV
I flew through the air, my gaze glued to the ground for any sign of the little guy. But nope, there's no sign of Tony.
I sigh sadly, my face now nothing but a depressed frown and eyes twinkling with sadness. Not like there was any reason to be happy.
Let's run through the list... Tony ran away without so much as a note, Marc thinks it's our fault Tony ran away, we're all doing horrible now and have an extra weight of depression on our shoulder, and worst of all, there is a psycho after Tony! I thought, baring my teeth angrily. Where's the so called "bright side" now.
I sigh and land on a nearby sidewalk, when a joyful site catches my site.
Three girls were giggling and waving at me.
I grin and wave back. Of course they look, cause I'm the Damn hot looking guy. I thought, grinning still and winking.
Tony could wait for a little bit. These girls wanted to have a chat with me, obviously. And with me being so down lately... well. These ladies could easily cheer me up.
Tony's POV
"Tony!"
I was tacken a back as all of a sudden I was roughly hugged by a familiar figure. It takes a second for my brain to register who it was... but it wasn't long before the realization hit, followed by the huge shock.
"Mom!"
My mom didn't even respond, she giving me a signature death hug. Normally, I would wiggle and squirm to get out of any sort of hug from my parents, but right now, honestly, I was too overjoyed to care.
"They said you would be here!" A deeper voice and older voice added, I looked up and grinned happily at the site of my dad.
It took me a few extra second s to register what I was feeling... but honestly, it was insane joy! My parents came looking for me! They had missed me. And like I has said before, I missed them a lot too.
Yet my heart instantly dropped as I realized I saw no sign of my siblings, not even Marc... did none of my siblings care enough to come and see if I was even okay? Did they even miss me? I guess they wouldn't... they wanted to get rid of me anyways...
"T? You okay?" My eyes snapped wide and I looked up in shock. Did I really just hear that voice? I thought I had imagined at first, when suddenly, a familiar brunette came into view.
"Marc!" I cried and latched onto my brother with a hug, my whole entire being filled with happiness.
To my delight, Marc hugged me back without question.
"You okay? You sure gave us a scare you know." Marc stated, before looking up at the policeman. "You can go now. We'll leave in a second."
"Alrighty then. Yar be carful getting home." The policeman shrugged before simply walking away.
I watched him walk away, once he was out of earshot, I began to crack up. "His voice really cracked me up!" I stated, hoping to avoid the whole lecture I just knew was about to come.
"Yeah, for sure. Hey, I think I saw something of your upstairs, on the roof." Marc stated, pointing upstairs.
I stay silent for a second before nodding. "Uh okay, let's-" I stopped, mid-sentence. There was something different about my brother closest in age to me... it... Your not Marc!
"Your not my brother!" I spat angrily. "Who the heck are you!"
Suddenly, dad picked me up by the collar of my jacket and hoisted me up, easily. I gasped, shocked and struggled. "Uh dad, this kind of hurts!" I complained.
"Whatever brat!" I fell silent at the sudden change of voice in my dad's voice. It wasn't his voice anymore... it wasn't my dad! It made since though, if that wasn't Marc, then none of them were my family.
"What the heck is going on!" I growled and struggled. "Who are you! Your not my dad! Your not my mom! Your not Marc! Let me go!"
"Oh stop it Tony!" My heart stopped and suddenly my whole entire spine stiffened. I knew that voice.
"You! Your that freakin psycho lady!" I panicked and began struggling even more.
"Oh, your good brat." Suddenly, the women ripped off the mom outfit and relieved herself, she looked the same way I had remembered her back when I first saw her back at Lisa's house. I hope she's okay though... I thought, frowning.
"You were tough to get brat. But now I finally have you. And guess what? Your siblings are nowhere to be found, your alone with no gadgets, and best of all, you can't get away now, can you?
"Yes I can! Just watch!" I growl as I struggled once again.
Suddenly, the fake Marc came over and roughly punched me in the stomach. I cringed and stopped my tummy in pain. I groaned.
"I would stay quiet, little spy. Or else this will be much worse for you." The women laughed evilly while I growled, ignoring my heart that now raced in fear.
