You're welcome for this awesome update ( ◡‿◡ )
Matt p.o.v.
The Saturday arrived quickly, Al wanted to join the baseball match so badly. He voiced that he wanted me to come along, restoring to the excuse I could gather some info regarding the females I was supposed to romance. I had nothing against these girls since they always seemed kind and remembered my name, which was a rare phenomenon.
"I already told you I don't wish to tag along, but I'm sure if you ask Luciano he will diffidently join." I just wanted him off my case.
"No way, I will not invite him, you know him. He will scare everyone away and these chicks may never consider inviting us again." Well, he was kinda right, remembering his and Laura's encounters he would probably anger her again.
"Besides he doesn't even know how to play." seeing as normal convincing didn't work on me he restored to violence.
"Come or I break your hockey stick." I looked away from the tv.
"Try and I will break your jaw next." I thought we would restore to a full swing fight, but a knock on the door prevented us.
"You had someone coming over?" I asked but my brother just shook his head. We both walked to the door, expecting some punks that wanted to start a fight but were greeted by three females at the door. Erin, Laura, and Tabitha stood there with their smug smiles.
"The fuck you doing here?" Al yelled at them.
"Is that how you greet your precious guests?" Erin questioned him.
"No, but how the hell did you find where we live?" That's also something I wanted to know.
"We stalked you?" Tabitha asked having this grin on her face.
"Is that what you guys meant at the sleepover when you said you knew our secrets?" I dared to ask.
"Actually no, we just heard you sharing this information with all the buddies." Erin seemed proud of herself.
"You eavesdropped our talks?" Al wasn't amused.
"No, we happened to hear it because usually all of you are so loud." Tabitha corrected him.
"I don't believe you guys, I believe you are freaking stalkers." I guess that's what he wished for anyway.
"Wait a moment." Laura brought up a notebook.
"In her notes, there is nothing about us stalking you, the only conversation we had about you guys was us imaging you all in the near future, Cynthia bet 10 dollars that you all will either end up in McDonald's, jail or working as janitors." Erin let us know.
"Interesting."
Time skip brought to you by Mr. Panda ~
In the end, I was dragged along, because Allen got support from the girls. I didn't expect much of game progress since most of them weren't interested in sports. However, my opinion on the situation changed when I saw them all warming up. Erin, Cynthia and Justice were the most pumped about the ordeal. Their commitment and energy just distributed itself to the others in the entire team. But the opposing team was still missing.
"Daniel sent me a text, saying they will be a little bit late," Erin informed us of their circumstances.
"Damn, now we need to wait for them," Al mumbled quite disappointed.
"Don't worry you will have a chance to play, even if it's a few minutes later than planned." Laura tried to comfort him but it only backfired at her.
"Oh you like me now?" he said in a teasing manner, her blunt voice came back.
"Naw, just making sure you won't start crying for something so minor." Tabitha snickered when hearing this. Which caused Al to reach for his bat.
"Cat what have you prepared for us?" Erin asked ready to snatch away the basket from the poor girl's hands.
"Oh well, I made some kimbap, sandwiches, and chicken salad. For Al, I made sandwiches with vegan cheese and a salad without chicken." She even put his food in another container, made me wonder why they were so nice towards us since we haven't done much but bring them trouble. Their kindness reminded me of Matthew which was the only guy from that group that didn't try to put us down all the time. Al was restoring to say something uncalled for so I covered his mouth.
"Are you jealous since I'm so popular? You can take this girl bro." he pushed Cynthia to my side that looked like a deer in the headlights. I thought he would pair me up with Erin since she was the most flat-chested along with Tabitha. I decided to not pry but soon enough we heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, poppets~" who announced our location to the Brit?
"Why are you here?" of course with him around Al wouldn't be able to swear.
"I just wanted to watch the match and share some cupcakes with you all." He explained with this sinister smile.
"No cupcakes before lunch," Avalyn said glaring daggers at Oliver, she saved us the trouble. After lunch, we could always refuse saying we were too stuffed for more, good thinking. The opposite team arrived only ten minutes late, apparently, they were stuck in traffic. From the information I received they lived in the other part of the town, that's why they were attending another school in the area.
"Let's begin," Justice yelled after all the members from the other team put their items around Oliver, Laura, and Catalina that became our stuff guardians. The guy by the name Nicolai was the first pitcher, Al was the first with the baseball bat, he sent the ball flying so long we had to send a search team consisting of Cat and Oliver. Erin made sure to teach Al to not overdo it since they had limited resources. The match went on and everyone tried their best, but there were moments when I saw Fantina chatting up Avalyn discussing her new nails.
"Look out idiots." Fantina ignored Erin's warning and we lost the first round. After this Erin decided to replace Fantina with Cat but she wasn't any more helpful, I had to catch her once because of her superior falling abilities. It made me wonder if her body became more sturdy for all the constant falling since she ever had small scratches or a bruise. With all the efforts we put in this match we managed to win.
"It was a good match," Daniel said while smiling at the girls.
"It sure was, thank you all for coming here," Justice said while shaking his hand.
"I can now go back to my sister," Nicolai said but Tabitha stopped him.
"How about joining us for the meal first." Something told me this dude was obsessed with his sister, maybe just as much as Vlad was, if not more.
"Sure but next time you going to try to step between me and sister, things won't end so good on your side." Tabitha just laughed it off patting his shoulder while telling him.
"Good joke man, now sit down."
"Let's eat poppets." why was Oliver so insistent on staying? Everyone was chatting each other up, Justice noticed me fading into the background.
"You didn't seem to enjoy this game too much, is there any sport you would want to do next. If you up to join us again that is." I didn't need to brainstorm to give her an answer.
"Hockey." She nodded and let everyone know.
"Guys we should try hockey next." Aspen chipped in.
"Hiring an ice station would be hard, but we will try." Oliver seemed to be delighted that they wanted to pamper to my needs as well.
"I can pay for it." Laura thanked him but said that even so, she would search for the best deal. The other team agreed to face us again.
Bonus~~ Catalina p.o.v
Snugging into a comfortable bed, feeling the bliss of relaxation until the alarm turned on. I got on my feet trying to turn it off, but it wasn't an alarm neither was this my bed. I froze in place until I decided to take a careful look at my surroundings. A hand gripped me and suddenly we were running into an unknown direction. Only chaos resided in my head at the moment, in no time I was sat down on the biggest chair in the large room.
"What is happening?" I asked confused.
"It's the Vargas family, they are attacking our base from all sides. It won't be too long once they tear apart our security we need to act fast." Cynthia informed me. I realized pretty quickly few faces were missing, Laura, Erin, and Avalyn.
"But first we need to gather everyone here." I said worry filling my voice, were they already captured by the enemies?
"Cat, what are you saying, everyone, is here." the others didn't have a part in this?
"Then what about Laura, Erin, and Avalyn?" they all dropped their faces, they couldn't be already dead, could they? That's what kind of atmosphere I got from their reactions.
"They left our gang." ok that made it somehow better.
"However we can always ask them for help," Undine suggested since their group was consisting of two worry cats maybe we could convince them to help us out?
"Connect them," I said, somehow I found leadership qualities in my voice.
"Right away chef." Cynthia began the call, via something that looked similar to Skype. A female wearing red lipstick and a red fancy dress arrived greeted us.
"This is the Vongola family how can I assist you?" she asked, so it was Laura, she looked so pretty. But finally looking down at my clothes I realized I wasn't lacking in fashion statements here either.
"Vargas family is attacking our headquarters, we would want you to help us fight them off." Aspen seemed working in a professional mode. But Undine didn't hide behind a professional mask.
"What are you even wearing?" Laura's spectacle also disappeared as she voiced her opinion.
"I know right, stupid Luci left me with no choice but wear this stupid dress, I want to murder him. He said something about showing off what kind of beautiful boss he was working under, bla bla bla. " I sweat dropped be it there or here their dynamic relationship never changed. Luciano arrived putting his hands on Laura's shoulders.
"Who are you talking with?" she sighed and explained the situation.
"I don't want to help them, after all, we are on vacation." Claudius came to the picture next.
"Leave us alone." Of course, that lazy bum wouldn't want to do anything, it made me a little bit mad. Despite all of them disagreeing Laura had a different opinion.
"You can't go since you promised to play with me." was Luci a kid? Erin arrived there next.
"No dumb-ass she didn't." Lutz came into the picture as well, was that competitive spirit that reflected in their eyes?
"How many times do I have to repeat, show some respect when we are talking to other Mafia families." Lutz blew air in her ear while saying.
"I respect you Kätzchen." I seriously doubted him.
"Kuro, Claudius." both of them used some mysterious powers and dragged away those two nut jobs from the screen.
"Of course we will help you." Avalyn made her appearance known as Laura agreed with her. Erin hugged Kuro letting him know how awesome he was, I guess he was the only one beside Claudius that possessed some abilities to show respect.
"Let me go," he demanded but Erin refused to follow his request.
"You just want to go to flirt with the damn American." Was Luciano jealous? But Laura had none of it.
"You couldn't be more wrong in this regard, now move your ass we going." they ended the call, but I couldn't hold my thoughts to myself.
"Why is Luciano and Lutz like this?" Undine just shook her head.
"It's not like Laura has a harem per se, they are just both messing around, watch them flirting with one of us when given the chance." so that were the circumstances, would it be ok if I beat them a little for Laura's sake?
"I saw Laura being complying buddies with Claudius," Aspen said but then an evil idea came across her mind.
"Let's set them up." Of course, she would try, there was no stopping her now. We heard a loud bang and we decided to leave this discussion of romance for another time. In the hole they created Oliver appeared in all his glory, smiling like a psycho.
"Grab your weapons!" Justice yelled I grabbed the only item I could find a roller for baking.
"So you found them?" we heard a familiar voice, and so Al arrived having his infamous smirk on.
"We won't hurt you as long as you give up." Flavio waltzed in as if he owned the damn place, orange light was surrounding his gun.
"Never!" I refused to go down without a fight. His cocky smirk just added more fuel to my rage.
"Come on bella~, just give up. So we can move toward Vongola family next." another explosion occurred shocking the Vargas family.
"What the hell?! Who told you to tear down this place." Laura stood behind Lutz and Luciano choking them with both of her arms.
"I told you it was a bad idea to take them along," Avalyn spoke even apologizing for the destruction rate. I saw a weird weapon in her hands that was covered in yellow flames. I looked around the room and found everyone had different colored flames surrounding them.
"I see you decided to work with the Vongola family." Flavio didn't seem pleased at the turn of events, of course, it would be harder to take care of double the number of people that now concluded to work together.
"You guys look pathetic!" I guess Al's remark was aimed toward the guys from the Vongola family.
"Staying in Vargas family for my skills to collect dust wasn't worth it," Luciano explained calmly.
"So you say it's better to join a dying out Mafia family?" Matt asked his eyes holding hostility.
"I'm pretty sure we are doing just great." Kuro let out.
"Sure Vongola family may have been once a stronghold, but we killed the 11th boss recently, you gonna praise all those ruins you took over." Al sure had a lot to say today.
"I'm going to make you eat fucking dirt," Erin yelled and launched an attack on him with a huge scythe which was covered in green flames. Al stopped the attack with his bat, sharing the same color of flames as Erin.
"Let's go out, they surely will chase after us," I suggested to both Aspen and Laura, who also thought this was the best course of action, standing indoors would only bring ruin to this hideout.
"So now you are running away?" Flavio asked probably looking down on us, but I hardly cared about his judgment, since the most important thing was winning.
"Yes, bye bye loser," I said mockingly, after running away later I tripped, nothing new there. Claudius was kind enough to help me back on my feet.
"Just activate your flames already so you don't have to be such a klutz," Justice yelled.
"How do I?" I asked myself.
"Use your ring," Claudius mumbled, my gaze turned to my hand spotting a ring I wore on my finger. I thought about it activating, it worked like a charm. And would you believe, the flames were now around the roller I was holding.
"Yey!" I cheered causing Justice to feel confusion.
"So who is chasing after us?" Claudius asked. Justice looked back and said.
"Only some small pry, nothing to worry about." It looks like they had more working hands than us. But with the three of us and admirable teamwork, we sent them flying.
"Let's move." soon we spotted Fantina and Vincent, they were sitting there chilling, no fighting will was seen in their eyes.
"Fantina what the hell?" Justice asked.
"He doesn't want to fight so I'm just fixing my nails." I guess that was usual Vincent behavior? I shrugged my shoulders and I decided to keep moving to see whatever we would come across someone that required help. Hold and behold we spotted Erin fighting Allen. Hectic and advanced fighting skills could be witnessed. Justice dragged me to a hiding spot, weren't we supposed to help Erin?
"You're not that bad," Al praised, there was some kind of sexual tension between those two, but from there on this dream started to make less sense.
"Hah, but you are." Erin charged at him, but Justice used her flames to cause Erin to fall on top of Allen, as ridiculous as it sounded they crashed and were now on the ground kissing. Embarrassed by the circumstances I ran away, leaving Justice and Claudius behind. My legs only stopped when I knocked with someone.
"What's wrong poppet?" I let out some gibberish sounds, explaining to him the scene with Erin and Allen.
"Ahh how about some tea and cupcakes to calm your mind poppet." he pointed at a table which I could swear wasn't there before. It looked like he had already a guest, Matt in a pink dress, tied up by ropes. I couldn't prevent small giggles from escaping my mouth. He positively looked like he was ready to kill me.
"Shouldn't you release him?" I asked
the cheery Brit.
"He's enjoying it, don't make him lure you," Oliver responded.
"Aren't you like on the same side?" Before I could get my answer someone yelled.
"Get away from him!" Cynthia made her entrance holding a club covered in green flames.
