Carey woke up the next morning and slowly opened his eyes. Once he opened them, he saw Molly sitting in a chair that was across from him, reading a book. He could get used seeing her every morning. She looked at him and quietly said, "Hi."
He smiled. "Hey!"
"I was wondering when you'd get up!"
"Oh, well, sorry to crash here, but, well, you know! I don't know what I'm gonna do with Clu, but I'll figure it out. I think that just getting a break was what I needed. You can only spend so much time in one day fighting. I think yesterday was one of those days when my limit just wasn't as great. But, thanks. ... I should probably leave now. I've got to talk to Clu."
"I think that's a great idea. Do you want breakfast first?"
"No. I don't think I should do that! I don't want to be sick. I'll eat something afterwards."
He got up groggily, folded the blanket, and put it in the chest. He went to the coat closet and got out his coat. He put it on and said one last goodbye before going into battle. He trudged through the fallen leaves until he had arrived in front of his house.
He quietly walked inside and up the stairs to the room that he and his brother shared. He tapped Clu on the shoulder as an attempt to wake him. Clu woke up and glared at his older brother. Carey wasn't sure what the right thing to say would be, so he just opened his mouth and let the words spill out on their own.
"Clu... I don't like Fiona... And even if I did, you'd be the first to know. I love her like a sister, man! I love her almost as much as I love you. Something was weird with her yesterday morning. You were just too nervous to notice so I checked it out, being the good brother I am! ......
"I'm not gonna tell you what's up. That's her choice about when she tells you, but I'm pretty sure she'll tell you eventually. I'm persuading her to tell you sooner rather than later, but I don't know how long it'll be! Now that I've got my part out, it's your turn. What was wrong with you yesterday?"
Clu sat up and gulped. "Well, I-uh."
Carey gestured for his brother to continue. "Come on!"
"Carey, Fi's different to me, different from other girls, I mean! Instead of being on the prowl and trying to win her over, I want to protect her! You know your reputation as well as I do! Hell, you're the one that tells me about most of the girls you get. Naturally, you're the type of person I want to protect her from! Plus, you're THREE years older than her. She should be with someone closer to her age!"
"Lemme guess, two years is better? It's not too old, not too young?"
"Exactly bro!"
"So, you're pissed at me because I was TALKING to her?"
"Well, I didn't know what was going on. I thought you were flirting with her."
"You-you thought I was WHAT? FLIRTING with her? COME ON!!! You've seen me in action. You know when I'm flirting with a girl. THAT was NOT flirting!"
"I know that! I just-wasn't thinking! I saw red. It was crazy! I don't know what was goin' on!"
"All right, but, bro, if you felt something like that, then you need to do something. Channel the anger, dude! Do something ACTIVE! You can't keep doing this! Dude, next, you might yell at JACK for talking to her! It's just not cool! You gotta do something, okay?"
" 'Kay, but what? I mean, how do people channel their anger? When I'm angry, people just say it's 'cuz I'm a guy!"
"Look, I'm a guy and I'm not that violent! I've got my guitar to help me! You could try-well, I dunno! What do you like? What have you been doing while you were at college?"
Clu thought for a moment and then said, with a goofy smile, "Surfing and weight-lifting!"
"Well... I don't think those'll work on the bus. Try music. Ask Molly to help you with your voice."
Clu just chuckled but his brother kept on.
"Seriously, singing might work for you. Of course, it wouldn't for me 'cause my voice sucks, but yours is actually kinda good. You should try it! Seriously, ask her!"
"But, dude, you wouldn't mind me being that close to her?"
"Naw! You have the same rep as me, but unlike me, you wouldn't stand a chance!"
Carey laughed and ruffled his hair. The two brothers hugged. Clu broke away and looked strangely at his brother for a moment.
"I don't stand a chance? HELLO! Who's the one doggin' his mom's best friend-slash-boss?"
"Well, who's the one after a girl who was raised as his sister, who, might I add, is his best friend's baby sister AND his mom's best friend's daughter? What about that? HUH?!?"
They laughed and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Dude! When'd you get so argumentative?"
"I dunno! When'd you learn big words like 'argumentative'?"
Carey just shrugged his shoulders and looked for a box of his favorite cereal.
