"Waterworks"
Disclaimer: C.K. doesn't own them. If C.K. owned them, Clu wouldn't even wear a fig leaf. That's all there is to it! Disney owns them. (The bums!) Not me. Maybe, some day, in my dreams, I might own them, but Disney is so cruel, they won't even let me have So Weird in my dreams NOW!

After dinner, Irene told Clu to help Molly with the dishes. Clu groaned and grumbled at his mother until Carey stepped forth and agreed to take his brother's place. Fi was already upstairs typing away at her computer. Clu quietly walked up behind her and read what she had wrote. He smiled and tapped her on the shoulder. She quickly turned around with a classic deer-in-the-headlights look. "Oh. Uh... H-hi Clu."
She quickly turned to her computer and minimized her diary entry. Clu watched her,confused at what he had read. Did she like Carey or him? She obviously liked one of them! What were her words, my Bell of the Ball.
Creepy! The two sat in silence, wondering whether the other would speak up. Finally, Clu got fed up with the silence. It was beginning to be too much for him! "So, why do wehave to talk? What's up?"
He casually sat down on her bed, leaning against the big teddy bear he had won her whenthey were younger, back when they could just be friends. Fi licked her lips in an attempt to calm herself down, and began speaking as she thought everything up.
"Well, see, as you know from reading my JOURNAL, I've missed you. You're one of my best friends and I haven't REALLY talked to you, like seriously, I mean."
"Well, you stopped talking about the paranormal stuff, and kind of stopped going online. But, I agree. We never really got to talk!"
"Okay, I guess I deserve the jab about the paranormal and not going online. I'm sorry, but I've been busy."
"You could have come on almost any time. I was almost always on, and even if I wasn't, my roomy would tell me you were online and I woulda quit who-WHAT I was doing. I just didn't ever really see you!"
"Oh. Well..."
Clu thought for a moment and then said, "Me and Carey were talking and-"
"Carey AND ~I~!"
"Carey and ~I~ were talking and he said something was different about you, like you had a problem or something."
Fi thought to herself, (who else would she think to? She's not like Annie. She doesn't have a make-believe panther hanging off her arse!)' I can't believe Carey told him! I'M GOING TO *KILL* HIM!!!'
"Oh. Well... See... I-I... I can't tell you!"
She ran off and jogged toward her brother's room where, once she had entered, she closed the door. Whenever something was wrong, she always went into his room and hid under the covers. She quickly wrapped herself up in her brother's flannel comforter and let the tears spill freely. The door opened and she turned to it, expecting her brother, who would comfort her. But when Clu's face popped into the door, she turned around so that she wasn't facing him, and said, "Look, I can't tell you so go away!"
"Fi, I don't underst-"
"GO AWAY!"
She fought to keep her voice from cracking. She heard his footsteps coming ever closer. "GO AWAY," She repeated, but Clu still came even closer and sat on the bed beside her, and wrapped his arms around her in a comforting hug. She tried to shrug him off but he held tight and put his face in her long hair.
He quietly said,"Fi, you said we gotta talk! Now, you have won't anything to do with me! You need to talk to me! I need to know what's up. Fi, I thought we were friends. Come on Fi! Please? Please tell me whats wrong?"
All he recieved was a bunch of sniffles followed by a muffled reply. Clu turned her around so he could see her. He wiped some of the tears off his young friend's face. He smiled at her and sang some of the lyrics of Bob Marley's "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
"Here's a little song I wrote,
You might wanna sing it note for note.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
In every life we have some trouble.
When you worry, you make it double.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
"Ooo
Oo, Oo-oo, ooOo
Ooo, oOo, OoooO
Ooo
Oo, Oo-oo, ooOo
Ooo, oOo, OoooO
"Ain't got no place to lay your head.
Somebody came and took your bed.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
Your landlord says the rent is late.
He may have to litigate.
Don't worry.
Be happy.
"Ain't got no cash, aint' got no style.
Ain't got no gal to make you smile.
But, don't worry.
Be happy.
When you worry, your face will frown.
That will bring everybody down.
So, don't worry.
But be happy."
"Put a smile on your face"
Slowly, Fi began to wipe her own tear and laugh quietly. Clu stopped singing and said, "Now, THERE'S that laugh that I love! Are you okay? If you don't want to talk about it yet, it's all right. Although," he gave her a puppy-eyed look, "I'd prefer it if you'd tell me!"
Fi laughed at him and gave a soft sniffle. "You know, you need some more practice on that look. Your brother's got it down pat!"
Clu grimaced. Fi looked at him with a shocked face. "What? You're jealous of Carey?"
Clu guiltily nodded his head. "Yeah! I mean, I was stuck goin' to college, away from everybody. But Carey, NOOO-Oh! He dropped out and Mom and Dad were fine with it! Sure they were mad for a while, but then they cooled off. With me, they expected it, but they're still royally pissed with me! Plus, Carey got to spend time with you."
Fi blushed. "Aww! Thanks!"
"Iss' nothin'! I mean, it's the truth! I really missed you while I was away!"
"I missed you too."
Fi came closer to Clu and gave him a big hug. Now, it was HIS turn to blush. He was grinning like the cat who ate the canary. Fi took a look at him and laughed. That made him blush even more. Both had a glistening sparkle in their eyes. Suddenly, Jack came in and saw his sister and his best friend hugging and grinning like idiots, ON HIS BED!!! 'COME ON! I worked so hard to keep stuff like this from happening!'
He watched Fiona and Clu just watching each other, breathing hard, never breaking their mutual gaze. 'They're going to kiss! AW, HECK NO!'
Fi and Clu brought their faces closer to each other. Jack cleared his throat, quickly forcing the two to separate and jump to opposite sides of the bed. Jack glared at Clu, and Clu immediately took this as his cue to get off the bed and walk silently from the room. Jack sat down on the bed next to hi sister and said, "Fiona, I know you like him, but he's gonna hurt you! Clu isn't a perfect angel! He has a reputation at his college! I WON'T let him hurt you!"
Jack brought his hand up to his sister's cheek and softly caressed it. "I love him like a brother, Fi, but I DON'T trust him. Not with my sweet baby sister's heart!"
Again, it seems someone has turned on the waterworks that are Fi. Jack hugged the young woman and wiped her tears away. "Jack, number one, you just did let him hurt me! I was so close to a dream come true! Number two, he proably doesn't even LIKE me, so don't worry! I don't have a chance."
Jack looked at his sister's downtrodden face and said, "Hey, you've got a better chance than you think!"
He gave a sweet smile and patted his sister's hair. Fi smiled through her tears. "I'm gonna go to my room now so you can sit and plot new ways to break up my nonexistent relationship with Clu," said Fi, jokingly, as she got up. Jack grinned and threw a pillow at her. "Get outta here!"
Once she left the room and closed the door, he sighed. 'My baby sis is growing up, and I can't even protect her anymore!'
