Salty Fish and Bets
Author's Note
Okay guys, I know my story is like SwedenSpeedways', but I asked for forgiveness! In fact, you can see his comments... maybe I'm getting the wrong idea, but I think I have his blessing.
P.S Swedenspeedway, if I'm wrong, please write back, and if I'm right, can you calm the readers down?
In Aeris' room
Aeris walked up to her bed and sat down, her face still rushing with blood.
Gr... that... Tyler chick...
Aeris laid down on her bed , her legs still hanging off her bed.
She was jealous about how Tyler made Xander happy...
No! Forget about him! He ditched you!
Aeris put her arms across her eyes, blocking out the ceiling lights...
"Aeris! Time to eat!"
Aeris sat up, rubbing any trace of sleepiness that might have latched on.
She let out a sigh and walked out of the room.
In the kitchen
Tyler served a piece of fish to each feline, Xander licking his lips and rubbing his hands in anticipation.
"Alright! Tyler's cooking for the first time in 7 years!"
Tyler smiled, "Heh, I hope my cooking improved!"
Xander sniffed the fish in a comedic way, "Mmmm... won't doubt it!"
Aeris just looked to the side and scuffed.
Xander looked at Aeris in a concerned way, "Which cat got your tongue?"
Aeris looked over and Xander and just replied which a growl.
Xander shook his head in defeat, "Aeris, you gotta lighten up!"
Aeris sighed and picked up her fork, "Whatever."
Xander picked up his own fork and cut out a piece of fish.
Leo also had a piece on his fork, "On three?"
Xander grinned and nodded, "1!"
Leo grinned, "2!"
And together, Xander plunged the forks into their mouth, "3!"
Xander smiled a dreamy smile, "Ah, brings back memories!"
Leo felt his tongues dry up, "Wow... salty."
Xander smiled, "I know right?"
Leo licked his lips, "Tasted great though!"
Xander swiveled on his chair and faced Aeris, "What about you?"
Aeris picked up a tiny piece of fish, "Uh..."
Xander then pushed Aeris' hand, causing the piece of fish fall onto Aeris' mouth, acting like it was an accident, "Oops!"
Aeris recoiled when she swallowed the fish, "Ugh! It tastes like I just ate a pure piece of salt!"
Xander pushed her shoulder lightly, "Come on! Don't over react so much!"
Aeris just growled at Xander.
He then looked at Leo, "So," Xander whispered, "did you find... love?"
Aeris felt her ears twitch, "You know I can hear you... right?"
Xander acted surprised, "Really?" He turned back to Leo again, "Did you and Aeris get together?"
Leo had a mask of shock on and Aeris bolted up, fury seething, "WHAT?"
Xander sighed, "I'll take that as a no..."
Then the black and white cat came up with a plan that made him smile, "Let's have a bet."
Xander stood up and motioned Tyler to follow.
They walked to a hallway and Xander whispered something in Tyler's ear.
She nodded a few times and came back to the table, "Leo, follow me!"
She took Leo's hand and walked into his room.
Xander sat at the table again, "Okay Aeris, here's the bet. If you can confess your love in a week, then I will have to do anything you ask me for one whole day. BUT, if you don't, then I'll make you go on a blind date."
Aeris once again stood up in fury, "WHAT?"
Xander grinned and nodded, "You heard me."
Aeris crossed her arms, "And if I refuse?"
Xander smiled a wicked smile, "Then I'll tell everyone on facebook that you're Yoaifangirl."
Aeris stared at him, "You wouldn't dare..."
Xander put his hands behind his head, "Of course I would!"
Aeris scuffed, "No one would believe you..."
"Are you so sure?"
Xander clapped his hands, "Good! Then let the bet begin!"
In Leo's room while that was going on
Tyler stood with Leo, "Okay, here's the bet. If you confess your love to Aeris in one week, then you can do whatever you want for a whole day, no Aeris around to knock the stuffing out of you. But if you lose, then you'll have to go on a blind date!"
Leo recoiled in shock, "What?"
Tyler smiled and nodded, "Yup!"
Leo crossed his arms, "And if I refuse...?"
Tyler grinned, "Then I'll just tell Aeris that you have dreams of having sex with her."
"WHAAAAAAAT!"
Leo felt his jaw drop, maybe to the ground.
Tyler grinned, "Yup!"
She then rubbed her chin, "But you know, I would believe it if someone told me..."
Leo gave a growl of frustration, seeing no good way out of the bet, "Fine, you win."
Tyler gave a cheeky smile, "Great! Then let the bet begin!"
