Ch 36: Archangel: Ch 7

Teahouse

Ty's POV

Holy crap, it's been like two weeks since I was here.

This void is starting to feel like a second home, even if Peace Walker isn't nearby. As long as I don't get to close to the cracks, I am safe. Though I know where my crack is in this realm as well as the position of Molly's, I can't help but feel like the distance between them is getting shorter each time I come here.

Ah, there is Peace Walker.

"Hey! Over here!" I shout. Peace Walker jumps to my location.

"Yes?" It asks.

"So... do you know why my universe's crack is getting closer to Molly's universe's crack are getting closer each time I come here?" I ask.

"The time for the answer is coming, but at a slow pace." Peace Walker said."She has her own mission right now, but once it is done, you will see what is planned."

The light started forming. I can see someone behind it... Wait... Is that Vybe?

"OH COME ON THAT'S THE 14th TIME IT'S DONE THAT ON ME!" Peace Walker shouted.

I sat up in bed. Vybe was asleep still. I might as well get dressed and prepare for this special day!

"Ugh... Why am I so sore..." I heard from Vybe. Deja vu is having a ball right now.

"So now you understand why I am so sore in the mornings as of late." I said, putting on my standard White Anchor Tee.

"What is that place, and what is that massive thing?" Vybe mumbled, sitting upright.

"I believe that place was the space between Dimensions." I said, tying up my tentacles. "And that massive machine is Peace Walker."

"How were you having an average conversation with it while I just nearly got crushed?" Vybe asked.

"I guess it takes a bit to warm up to others." I responded. "Anyways, I have some fun planned today."

"You do? What do you have planned?" Vybe asked.

"It's a surprise." I said. "Everything will show itself as it comes."

"Oh, nice try honey." She said, crawling out of bed and tugging at my shorts. "I think we should have some time for ourselves... You know... some Fun for ourselves..."

"Oh no..." Is said as Vybe climbed up me like a ladder. Her chest was definitely larger than I remember. And it was rubbing against me... I'm burning red...

"Pfff..." Vybe said, covering her mouth. What is she doing? Is she... Laughing? "Ty, honey, your face got so red! IT WAS SO PERFECT!" She then started laughing hysterically.

"Um... I was expecting you to do something else..." I said.

"Exactly, that's why it's so funny!" Vybe said, laughing still. Eventually, she stopped laughing after a bit, got her own clothes on, and we walked downstairs. I turned on the stove and started cooking breakfast, while Vybe set the table and sat down in front of the TV.

"So... What's up first?" Vybe asked.

"We are going to do something we have not done since we turned 17." I said.

"And that would be...?" Vybe asked, curious of what it may be.

"We are going to do a few turf battles." I said. Vybe became wide-eyed.

"W-what? Are you serious?" Vybe asked.

"Yes, I am." I said. "That means we can fight beside each other as a two-player team."

"YES!" Vybe shouted. "It's been a while though since we ever fought in one though..."

"I believe in us, as a team, and as a couple." I said, bringing scrambled eggs to the table. Vybe got off the couch and sat next to me at the table. We both ate and then went back upstairs to our supply of Turf War weapons.

"I think I will stick with the N'ZAP '89." I said, taking it off of the rack.

"Hmm..." Vybe mumbled, contemplating. "I know I want to use a charger... But which one..." After what seemed like forever, she picked up the Hero Charger. "Ok, I'm ready. Let's go fill the battlefield with love!"

"Love is not exactly a weapon, but alright." I said. "Now, let's go before I get cramps." We both laughed and walked out of the apartment.

Hanako's POV

I just heard the door close. Now I can start with my plans.

"Bro! I need you!" I shouted. He walked down the stairs groggily.

"What?" He asked.

"I want to set up something for Vybe!" I said with glee.

"Wait, why?" He asked. WHY IS HE SO DENSE?

"IT'S HER BIRTHDAY YOU DENSE SLUG!" I shouted.

"C-calm down... What do you need done..." He said.

"I need plenty of ingredients... I just learned how to make a cake..." I said, pulling out my phone.

"Can't you just... grow them?" Jericho asked.

"No. I can't make a cake plant..." I said. "Besides, it's the recipe from their favorite cake place."

Vybe's POV

FINALLY! We found a match! Two rollers are on our side. Me and Ty balance it out nicely.

"We ready to kick some butt?" I said as we formed on the spawn-pad. The other two rollers on our team were boys. The looks on their faces when they saw me... PRICELESS! Then they saw Ty. Ty's hair was glowing. I swear his light was coming off of him like a fire. He was getting into the turf war already. I make my hair spark, scaring the two rollers. I recognize this stage... Blackbelly Skate park... I rock here.

"Ok, listen up." Ty said. We were yellow team. "I need you two to be our main force. Me and my wife will be your support. Don't worry about any enemies, we can force them away from you and you can ink the turf as we distract them." The other two nodded.

GO!

Hanako's POV

Whew, mixing all those ingredients was a pain... but I finally got it all mixed together! Now I need to put it in the oven... "UAGH!"

"What is it?" Jericho shouted, running to me. "OH MY GOD! Ok... Um... Just drink some liquid of some sort... I'll put it in the oven..." He then puts the cake into the oven and closes it. I look at my hands and they are all shriveled up.

"Wh-Wh-what..." I stuttered. I went to the fridge and got myself a bottle of light-pink ink. I chugged the entire thing. I looked at my hand once more, and slowly it began to reform back to its original state. "Whew... I guess I can't take the heat that well."

"How long do we wait until we need to take it out?" Jericho asked.

"About 15 minutes." I said.

Vybe's POV

"YES!" I shout, jumping a bit, making everyone stare at me. Am I really that eye-candy-ish?

"Yeah!" The other two from our team shouted.

We won with 87.6% to 7.5%.

"Now that, was effective strategy." Ty said. "Good work team." We walked back to the spawn point, chatting a bit before going back to the plaza.

"So, with our newly acquired cash, let's find a snack cart... OR... We can visit the Inkopolis Cafe." Ty said.

"I think the Cafe. We had so many memories together there." I said. "Like our first date."

"Yeah... And you threw a mug at a disrespectful customer..." Ty said.

"Hey, she deserved it!" I retorted. We walked up to the doors and walked in.

"Welcome to the caf- Ah, it's the mug-breaker!" Milly said "Should ah grab the plastics?"

"If you want to." Ty said.

I leaned in closer to Ty. "She still remembers?"

"Apparently so..." Ty said. We walked over to a booth and sat down.

Hanako's POV

"Jericho, the cake is ready to be taken out!" I shouted. Jericho walked into the kitchen and grabs the oven mitts.

"Wow, it smells good in here..." Jericho said as he opened the oven and took out the cake. He walked over to me and placed it on the counter. He then took the cake out of its cake pan to allow it to cool. "So how is the frosting going?"

"Pretty good. It's a bit complicated, but I pulled through." I said, stirring the frosting. It was getting thick, which was good. "It should be ready by the time the cake is cooled down enough."

"Nice!" Jericho said. "We really should think about the gifts though..."

"Ty got them already." I said. The doorbell rang and Jericho opened the door. I couldn't hear the conversation, but after a bit, Jericho closed the door, carrying a box.

"Well, I guess you were right..." Jericho said, plunking the box down. "What is in it?"

"I don't know yet..." I said. I saw Jericho get up and grab a pair of scissors. "And don't you dare open it."

"I'm not going to open it, jeez..." Jericho retorted, grabbing a roll of nearby wrapping paper.

Vybe's POV

We were sitting across from each other. I had an Old-Fashioned doughnut and Ty had his beloved Sour Cream doughnut. Ty took a large bite out of his doughnut, the look on his face showed joy and happiness.

"I almost completely forgot how hungry I got after those battles..." Ty said.

"Yeah, they always tended to wear you out like that." I said, biting into my doughnut. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt very happy. "So, what is after this?"

"We can do some shopping." Ty said. "I was thinking I needed some more things anyways. Not to mention snacks..." Ty sipped a coffee I did not notice before. "Hanako and Jericho keep going through those like no tomorrow..."

"Well, maybe if we didn't spoil them so much..." I said. We both laughed a bit. We paid for our food and went to the shopping center.

Hanako's POV

"Hey sis!" I heard Jericho say from the living room. I look away from my work of art to find Jericho has wrapped the box. "Does it look good?"

"Yep! It does!" I said. The entire thing looks great. I went back to the cake. After a few minutes, I was satisfied with my work. Then I heard the doorbell again.

"I got it." Jericho said. He opened the door and I heard what could only be described as three lunatics running over my brother.

"Hey Hanako!" Hikari said.

"Are we early?" Arata asked.

"Where is mom?" Ryuu asked.

"Vybe is with Ty, doing some things together..." Jericho said. "AND DO NOT TOUCH VYBE'S PRESENT!"

Vybe's POV

"Whew, that is a lot of stuff... Wait a minute..." I said, just realizing the events that have transpired. "I know where this is going..." Ty smirked as we walked out of the elevator to our floor. Ty then opened the door to our apartment.

"Ah, home sweet home..." Ty said, letting me walk in first. Ty walked in behind me, closing the door behind him.

"SURPRIZE!" I heard from all around me. Hanako, Jericho, Arata, Hikari, Ryuu, Jackie, Rex, and Coral were all there. In front of them was a gift box.

"You get the honors, Vybe." Ty said. I took no time in getting over there, and tearing the paper off. A box? I peeled off the tape and dug into the box. I lifted out a magnificent looking case.

"What is this?" I asked. I opened it up and it was a very interesting necklace. The links were made out of a strange metal, and had very cool engravings. I put it on, and hugged Ty. "Thank you!"

"Happy birthday, honey." Ty said, hugging me back.

"Cake time?" Arata asked.

"But of course!" Rex said.

"Everyone get to the table!" Ty said. We all sat at the table and Ty lit the candles.

"Happy Birthday, Congratulations.

Happy Birthday, with Salutations.

Happy Birthday, May your skies stay blue.

Happy Birthday to you!"

I blew on the candles.

I AM ALIVE!

I AM HAPPYYYY!

Anyways, sorry this took a long time to post.

And remember:

Rabbits are not always as they seem.
