A Cool Fall
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own So Weird, nor do I own Fi, Jack, Clu (Although I'd like to),
Carey, Ned, Irene, Molly, Candy, etc. (You get the picture) I own nothing. Please
don't sue me. All you'd get is about 25 cents, so, um, yeah! Go us broke people! Rock
on!!!
All right, I know that because I'm kind of an unknown and since this is my first story that
I probably shouldn't get reviews. I'm sure it's a rule somewhere, but PLEASE, I really
would like some input. I don't frown upon criticism, just so long as its got some words
other than HATE, SUCKS, or obscenities. 'Kay? Let's go on to the feature presentation,
shall we?
************************************************************************
After everyone had settled, Molly lit a fire in the fireplace and made everyone
some apple cider to heat up. Everyone drank it quickly and thanked her. Carey ran up and
hugged her.
"Ohhhh! Thank you Mrs. P. You know I love you! You are so wonderful."
She just looked at him as if he was some kind of crack-head. His dad saw it and explained.
"Carey is NOT a cold-lovin' person. Plus, his brother decided to get ice out of the bus and throw it at him."
Molly just laughed. "Anything I can do to help!"
Everyone gathered in the family room to talk. Molly took the big chair. Ned and
Irene Bell took the loveseat. Carey, Fi, and Clu took the couch, leaving Jack without a
seat.
"Guys, that's not cool! Geez, just be mean like that!"
Fi smirked and said, "Okay, we will."
Clu just laughed. Carey looked as if he were shocked that Fi would say something like that. "Fi, that's not cool."
"Oh well. Like Jack said, I'm just mean like that."
By the time Carey and Fi were done having their little conversation, Jack had
pulled up a chair from the dining room and sat down right by Clu. Everyone started their
own little conversations. Soon, Carey and Clu, who were on opposite sides of Fi, decided
they would start hitting each other while they were talking.
As funny and interesting as it was to watch, Fi decided to break it up. Clu and
Carey were nice and behaved for about a minute. Eventually, Carey had snaked his arm
around Fi's shoulder without her knowing and hit Clu in the head. Unfortunately, his arm
tapped her on the back of the head, making her hit him in the arm repeatedly until the
adults broke it up, once and for all. Molly announced over all the bickering that they were
going out to eat. Fi quickly ran upstairs to her room, where her luggage was, closed the
door, and dug through her suitcase for something to wear. She quickly found what she
had been looking for, her short black skirt and her violet chenille sweater. She changed into that
outfit, some tights, and her black clogs, and ran out of the house to where everyone else
was.
Luckily, when she was out there, she didn't notice Clu's eyes bug out and become
about the size of pinecones. But Jack did and slapped Clu upside the head. The adults took one
car and the kids took the van. Jack ran over to his mom and got directions to the restaurant.
When he came back, Fi and Carey were fighting over which one should drive. Fi had
just recently gotten her license, while Carey, however, had been driving for a while. Clu decided to
butt in and suggested that Fi drive so Jack handed her the keys and got into the seat next to her.
Unfortunately, that left Clu and Carey in the back seat, which made Carey whine
even more, since he wanted to sit in the front seat. Clu finally found a solution to the
problem and clamped his hand over Carey's mouth.
"SHHHHHHH MAN! You're gonna make Fi wreck the car if you're not quiet!"
Carey, valuing his own life, nodded, and Clu let go. Jack turned to the two in the backseat
and quietly said, at a volume he thought Fi wouldn't hear, "Fi's doing a good enough job
already. Don't encourage her!"
Clu and Carey laughed. When Jack had turned his head to the front seat, he saw Fi pass the spot where they were supposed to turn.
"Um, uh, Fi?"
"Yeah?"
"You, uh, kinda missed the turn there."
"OH CRAP!"
Clu sniggered from the backseat and said, "Language! Good one, chica! Very smart!"
She glared into the rear view mirror and frighteningly said, "Oh, thanks, Clu! I'll cherish
that forever!"
She made a hard turn left, making a U-turn, and then, a hard turn right. Carey just gulped,
praying he'd live through it. She suddenly pulled into the restaurant parking lot. Seeing
the guys' faces, she asked, "What? Is this not the right place or something?"
The guys just nodded silently and rushed out of the car. The group walked into the
restaurant and sat down with their parents. When Molly and Irene saw the horrified expressions,
they couldn't help but laugh. "What happened?"
"Fi drove!"
That only made Molly and Irene laugh harder. Ned looked at them as if they were crazy
and just laughed at them. The waiter came up and stared at this group of crazies!
Everyone calmed down and ordered their dinners. When they got their food, Carey and
Clu threw fries and onion rings at each other. Fi quickly grabbed one of the flying onion
rings and said, "Hey, thanks Clu. Tasty!"
"Glad to be of service."
Irene decided it was her turn to speak up. "All right, you guys! Now, the Phillips
band has been kicked out of bars, hotels, and department stores, but never, and I mean
NEVER, have we been kicked out of a restaurant. I'd like to keep our records at least
somewhat clean, okay?"
The young teenagers just nodded and played around with their food, just keeping
it on their plates this time. Fi saw Clu playing with his fries and grinning evilly, and she
knew he was doing something bad. He tapped her on the shoulder, and pointed to his
plate. She tried to suppress her laughter, but this was too much!!! She had to hand it to
him! He was pretty creative this time. He had eaten his burger and bitten off parts of
onion rings and arranged French fries on his plate so that on his plate was a message:
GOTANEED4SPEED?
She just laughed and punched him in the shoulder. He sat there, looking like an
angel to the adults, showing off an innocent smile. He looked mighty pleased with
himself as he quickly scrambled the message so his parents wouldn't see it. Jack and
Carey just shook their heads, chuckling quietly to themselves. Eventually, everyone
finished eating and piled into the cars. Carey decided that maybe he should drive this time.
Everyone met at the Bells' house and dropped off the family and their luggage,
then went to their house, with Molly driving the van. Fi and Jack went up to their rooms and
unpacked. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Fi and Jack ran down the stairs, both trying to get there first.
Fi won and opened the door.
It was raining outside and guess who was standing on their porch, drenched. It was the
Bell family, looking like a pack of drowned rats. Fi was so close to laughing, but she couldn't when
Irene shivered. It was too pitiful! Irene looked at her and said, sounding utterly exhausted, "We have...
NO keys!"
Fi almost broke out at that point. Clu or Carey must have been given the keys. They're the
only ones in that family who were stupid enough to do something like that! She ushered them all
inside and took their sopping coats, placing them in the bathroom where they could dry out. Clu and
Carey went up to Jack's room to hang out and change into clean, dry clothes. Irene and Ned changed
in Molly's room.
Everyone went to bed, Fi and her mother in her room, Ned and Irene in Molly's room, and
the boys in Jack's room. Right before Fi had gone to bed, she went to go wish everyone a good night.
She went to her mom's room, thinking her mother would be in there, but instead found Ned and Irene.
She apologized and said goodnight, giving them both hugs. She walked over to the guys and asked Jack
where their mother would be sleeping and he told her. "Well, goodnight Jack, see you in the morning,"
she called. "Night Fiona."
Carey looked at her and pouted. "What about me?"
"Good night Carey, sleep well."
"G'night Fi." He smiled that charming Bell smile.
"Night Clu, sleep tight!"
"Night Fi, don't let the bed bugs bite!"
"I won't. Don't worry! See you guys later!"
She closed the door to the bedroom and laughed when she heard Clu yell out "GOOD NIGHT, JOHN BOY!"
Fi silently padded accross the hall to her room. She made the bottom bunk for her mom, since
she was getting too old to climb ladders.
Fiona smiled at the thought of her mom being old. She could see, her mother living to old age,
a ripe old age, like 89 or something! She climbed the ladder and snuggled into the warm bed, smiling to
herself about everything that was going on. She was beginning to find her place in the world, beginning
to find her way to normality. She was even beginning to make a simple childhood crush into something
more. She'd never had a real boyfriend before.Heck, she'd only really kissed anyone outside of her
family once. She wondered what her next real kiss would be like and who it'd be with as she drifted off
to slumberland where nothing and noone could hurt her ever again...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Twenty minutes later, in Jack's room across the hall~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Clu smiled to himself thinking about the girl across the hall. He had liked her ever since
she was born. He had loved her since then. He didn't WANT her, like he did with other girls, he
wanted to protect her from anyone who was like that, anyone who would treat her as if she was anything
but the sweetest little princess who must be treated with nothing but true love and utter respect. He
wanted that for her.
Unfortunately, he found that when it came to protection, he was a bit over-protective.
He got jealous when she was talking to anyone but him. He loved being near her and being away from
her for almost a year had emotionally killed him. Actually, the only threat he sensed was his brother. It
was almost as if, while he had been gone, Carey had taken his place as best friend, protector, and
favorite person to challenge.
It was scary. He had never felt this before. When she stepped out of that house today, he
had wanted to kiss her. Oh man, what that would have been like! Talk about heaven!!! Then, when
they hugged, he felt this strange sense of, overall, rightness. It was strange. It felt like for once, he
belonged.
He didn't just belong with the group, but his world felt right. As sappy and creepy as this
was, he wanted to hold her in his arms forever. He also wanted to TELL someone. He couldn't tell her,
of course, because she'd think he was crazy. Maybe he was, but she had made him that way.
He suddenly couldn't contain it any longer. He had to tell SOMEONE! "Jack? Are you awake? Dude,
I need to talk!"
The only response he received was Jack mumbling something in his sleep about Annie
and whipped cream. 'Woah, dude, a lil' too much info,' thought Clu. Well, he had to talk to someone.
Who knows? Maybe his brother might have some use in the world and might actually be able to
explain what's going on! Maybe it was hormones or something, but he needed to know or else he
was going to go crazy!
"Carey? You up?"
A groggy voice came from the bunk above his. "Yeah. What is it man? What's up?"
"I need your help!"
"What? Dude. Is something the matter?"
"No. Not really. I've just got some weird complicated feelings that I need help with. Please help me!
PLEASE?"
"Geez, didn't they teach you this crap in high school?"
"No. Well, I mean, they probably taught what you're thinking of, but I've got a bigger problem. C'mon.
I'm serious!"
"All right, all right! What is it?"
"Well, see, I, um-"
"Dude, not helping!"
"Shut up. I was just getting there. Okay, you know how I've told you I liked other girls before?"
"Uh, yeah. You've got new girls every week!"
"Okay, but this time. I'm not in a situation where I want her. Well, I do, but not for the normal reason.
Dude, I think I'm in love."
"Congrats! Who is she? Some friend of Hugh Heffner's? No, wait, sheeeee's a Hooters girl!"
(A/N:just in case you didn't know, Hugh Heffner is the owner of Playboy, I hope I spelled his name right)
"No dude. Okay, look. You know her. Heck, our whole family knows her. And sometimes, I think you
like her."
"What? Dude, you talkin' 'bout Molly?"
"What? EWWW NO! Trust me. I don't think you like her. I know you like her. But, no, not Molly."
"I'm stumped! You're not giving me any real hints!"
"Okay-um, lemme just do this! Um, Carey?"
"Yeah, lil' bro?"
"Do you like Fi?"
"HOLY CRAP!"
"Dude, keep it down and answer the question! Do you like her?"
"No way, man! She's a kid! I used to babysit her. That just ain't right! But YOU like HER?"
"Yeah. Kinda."
"Okay. So, let me get this straight. You like Fi, the girl across the hall who has practically been
raised as your sister. So now, you're doggin' after her but you don't know what to say!"
"Exactly, I mean, when she walked out the today and I saw her, my palms got all sweaty and
it was like I couldn't say anything! I just froze. Then, she hugged me and for a moment, I just
felt like my life was cool. I forgot about mom and dad being mad that I dropped out, even
after summer courses. I didn't remember the pain in my back from lifting and moving stuff.
Everything just felt RIGHT! But then, when we went out to dinner, dude, she was killin' me!
I mean, think about it, Fi Phillips in a miniskirt puttin' the pedal to the medal! WHEW!"
"Dude! I'd rather not think about it."
"Okay, but I'm sayin' man! What I wouldn't do to get her. And I don't mean just in bed either-"
"EEWWWW! Look Clu, DON'T say that! Okay. That's just nasty. Besides, what do you think
Jack'll say when he finds out?"
"Oh crap! He'll throttle me."
"Yup. Man, I think from now on, you should keep your thoughts to yourself. What if Jack
woke up when we were talking? What d'you think he'd do or say?"
"I don't know."
"You gotta know. So, just don't freak out or anything, okay? You can't let anyone know you
like her or you're dead! You can still act the way you act now. That's not a problem. But you
gotta be careful. Just a bit of brotherly advice!"
"Thanks Carey. If I didn't tell someone, I woulda gone crazy!"
"It's nothin'. Now, go to sleep."
" 'Kay! Night bro!" "Night Clu. See ya in-" Carey checked his watch "five hours."
Clu groaned and tried to get back to sleep. This proved to be very difficult with all this new
information on his mind.
