Jay'a: Hey everybody! Here's the second of The Tales of Mia. Thank you so much to all of those who reviewed. We love you! :) This one has more dialogue and stuff in it. The other one didn't just 'cause it was the first one in the series. Disclaimer: blah, we don't own these people (except for ourselves of course), blah. Enjoy!

The Tales of Mia: or "I... Just... Live Here"
"The Toaster"
"Cye!... Cye?... Cyyyyeeee!!!"
"What do you want Rowen, I have to go!"
"Will you toast a bagel for me, pleeeaaassse?" the blue haired boy whined.
"No. Do it yourself. I have to go." Cye headed for the door.
Rowen scratched his head. "Ummm... Cye?"
Cye stopped short, blinked, and finally remembered who he was talking to. "Crap," he muttered. "Fine," he sighed, throwing his swim bag onto a chair. "I'll put it in, but YOU have to get it out. Think you can handle that?"
"Uh, yeah, sure."
The two boys walked back through the living room where Ryo was watching T.V. Ryo was watching the screen so intently at the screen that he didn't even notice when Sage came downstairs.
"Hey Ryo, whatchya doin'?" Sage's brow furrowed at the other boy's silence. Scrunching up his face in determination, Sage decided to try again.
"RYO!"
Ryo jumped, flinging the remote back at Sage. "Huh?! What? Oh. *sweat drop* Hey Sage. Didn't hear ya come in." Ryo leaned back nonchalantly.
Sage smirked. "Yeah I noticed. So what are you watching?"
"The Women's World Cup Soccer game that I taped awhile ago."
Sage raised an eyebrow. "May I ask why?"
"Sure."
Silence. Sage rolled his eyes at the juvenile joke. "Why?" he asked finally, slightly annoyed.
Ryo grinned up at him. "Because at the end when the Americans win, Mia Hamm takes her shirt off."
Sage's eyes (er, um, EYE...) grew wide. "Really?"
"Yup. If you give me the remote back, I'll rewind it again for ya. I've watched it about eight times now."
With half a silly grin, Sage leapt over the back of the couch, settled down next to Ryo, and handed him the remote. After several seconds, Ryo hit play again. They were just getting to the "good" part when Shiane and Jay'a came in. Curiously, they watched as Mia Hamm did indeed take her shirt off
"Alright!!" Ryo and Sage chorused. High fives all around.
Shiane glared at her boyfriend and crossed her arms. "Ahem!"
"Ahem," Jay'a echoed, though less pointedly and at Ryo.
Both boys turned slowly, fearfully. Sage flashed a nervous smile. "Hi ladies. What brings you here?"
"Hey Jay. Long time, no see," Ryo added carefully.
"Sage, WHAT do you think you're DOING!?"
"Ryo, you oughta be ashamed of yourself."
Silence.
"WELL?!"
Ryo elbowed Sage. "Oh! Um, well, see, Ryo here was watching T.V. and, uh, he sorta threw the remote at me…"
"I did not! YOU scared the crap outta me!"
"Well, you were the one not paying attention. Anyway, I gave him the remote back and he made me sit down!"
"I did NOT! I invited you and YOU leapt over the couch to sit down!"
"But-"
"Can it, Light Boy! I think you, me, and my CAT need to have a little chat session," Shi said.
"But…"
"You too, Pyro. Let's go," Jay'a said.
"But…"
"Move it or lose it, Child."
"But…"
BOOOOOM
In a moment of shock, the four in the living room silently contemplated the noise that shook the house. In a second moment, all four raced the source of the explosion: the kitchen.
At the doorway, they peeked in to see one of the oddest sights one could ever see (though, upon more consideration, it really isn't all that odd). Rowen, in full armor, had taken one of his arrows and appeared to be prying a black crispy bagel out of a now black crispy toaster.
"Rowen!" a horrified Sage cried in all his wisdom, "What are you doing?!"
Startled, Rowen stopped. He looked up at Sage, down at the toaster, and back at Sage. He thought it was quite obvious what he was doing, but he decided to humor his friend. "I'm prying a black crispy bagel out of a black toaster with an arrow." (surprise, surprise) "Why?"
Ryo was about to answer when Shiane stepped forward. She smiled sweetly. "Ro-chan? Sweetie? Hon?"
Rowen swallowed and took an involuntary step backward. Pet names from Shiane were never good.
Jay'a joined her friend. "Rowen. Michael. Hashiba."
Rowen backed up more and hit a wall. Middle names from Jay equaled pet names from Shi.
The girls took another step forward. "You know Child, we came down here specifically to make ourselves some toast," Jay'a said
"And we can't do that now, can we Ro-chan?" Shiane said. Rowen swallowed again and began to babble an incoherent explanation.
Exchanging a glance of realization, Ryo and Sage slipped out, leaving Rowen to his fate. They silently wondered just how far out of the country they could get before the girls tracked them down...
LATER:
Mia walked up her front steps. She'd just spent a relaxing day with a friend, but she was glad to be back at the house. It was still standing, so that was a good sign. At least it wasn't a horrifically bad sign...
She stepped inside and immediately smelled something odd. She followed the odor to the kitchen. In a corner of the kitchen sat Rowen, duct taped to a chair and whimpering slightly. In the center of the room, Jay'a and Shiane were levitating pieces of bread that were rapidly becoming toast due to Shaine's copper colored lightsaber underneath and Jay'a's yellow lightsaber on top. Mia blinked several times to make sure that this was indeed what she was seeing. It was.
Jay'a looked up and smirked. "I give you one guess."
Shiane looked up and snorted. "Smurf Boy blew up the toaster."
Mia threw a wide-eyed look at Rowen who tried to sink further into his chair. She turned and walked silently from the room. "I... just... live here."
Shiane here! Well, we hoped you liked this installation as much as the last one, if not more. However you felt, please review! Please!!! (me on knees begging)
