When two clowns collide

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------



Leon woke up to the sun peeking through his window.He grunted and put the pillow to his head and turned from the light.He didn't feel like waking up right now,he just wanted some sleep.It passed at least two minutes when the phone rang scaring the hell out of Leon.As he tried to get the phone from the night table,a cup of water fell,and so did the phone."Who ever called is gonna get sucha-hello?"he said in a low grizzly voice.The person on the other side couldn't help but crack up.It was a female laugh,someone he knew,Claire."Hey there Leon,my aren't we feeling grumpy this morning."She said with sarcasim in her voice.Leon cleared his throat and smiled as her voice soothed his ears."Well Claire,it is 7:30 in the morning.Is something wrong for you to be calling me this early?"He said a bit worried."No,just wondered about ya thats all,what are you doing today?"She thought as she crossed her arms while looking to the body length mirror.

Leon pondered and remembered about the house."Well I'm gonna have to do a whole paint job at my place*he sighs* it's going to take forever to get done."He said hoping she would take the hint.She smiled to herself and obviously took the bait."Well Leon todays your lucky day,not only do you get help from me you also get to have the whole day spent with me." her giggles were like music to his ears.

Leon smirked in success,"O don't I feel special! a whole day with Claire! all to myself."He wish he didn't say that last part.She blushed and gave a small giggle."Ya ya,what time do you want me?....THERE...hehe what time do you want me there?"she said smacking her forehead in stupidity.Leon was almost as red as she was."Well is noon good enough for you?" She nodded to herself"yes that will be fine,see you at noon!hehe"as she gave a nervous laugh she hung up.She just fell on her bed and smacked her head for being such a dumbass.Leon did the same,its funny how the two are so much alike.

Chris woke up to giggles and water running,"hmmmm......*he yawns*Claire...what time is it?"He said slowly sitting up.She poked her head in his room with a black towel wrapped around her head,"It's 8:00, your shower is running."She said giving him the peace sign and going to her room.He just scratched his butt as he got up and went to bathroom to wash his face.He looked into the mirror and noticed he had dark circles under his eyes."....I hate my life....."he said splashing cool water to his sleepy face.He then went to the shower.Claire was getting changed playing her favourite style of music,rock.

"Say your prayers little one

don't forget, my son

to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within

keep you free from sin

till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open

gripping your pillow tight

exit: light

enter: night

take my hand"

She was headbanging to the music as she put on her black jean cut shorts.After she had her shorts on,she threw on a white t-shirt that was a bit baggy.She looked to the mirror and smiled to the reflection...for the first time.Chris was hearing the music coming fom her room and was also singing to it.

"now I lay me down to sleep

pray the lord my soul to keep

if I die before I wake

pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word

and never mind that noise you heard

it's just the beast under your bed,

in your closet, in your head"

He did have a cute voice though he wasn't a rock star.He was happy that his sister was back playing her favourite tunes instead of crying to slow songs,but....thats what he felt like doing now.He thought about it,its like one of us has to be happy and one has to be pathetic.He only shook his head and wrapped his navy blue towel around his waist.As he got out he could smell eggs and bacon coming from the kitchen.Something the both of them hasn't had since what happen with Umbrella.His mouth was watering.He quickly got changed and ran downstairs tripping on a shoe."AAAGH!"he covered his face while he hit the same wall as yesturday.Claire looked to the noise made and burst into laughs as she seen her brother with his butt sticking straight up,shoe in mouth,and face to the wall."Hehehehahahahha....oh dear brother!hahahahaheheheh.....y...you've got to be more careful!"she said in between laughs.She helped him up as he just smirked to her with a goofy look on his face."Thanks Claire,"he said running from her arms to the table filled with great looking food.She just shook her head and rolled her eyes,"men"she joined him.

Leon who now was done eating was taking out the baby blue paint out of the closet and getting the supplies ready.He only thought about Claire while doing so,but in doing that his hand was jammed in the door.At first he didn't feel anything,but when he looked to his hand his face changed from dazed to a painful look."HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"he ran up and down the hallway holding his now purple hand screaming in pain.He went to the sink and let the ice cold water sooth the pain,"This just isn't fair"he sobbed.It was now a quarter to noon and Claire was walking her way to his place,the sun was shining,the air was fresh and breezy.Just how she liked it.She got stares from many men,but she didn't even bother looking back to them.She was now facing Leon's door waiting for him to answer it,*she knocks*"House Keeping."she said in a funny European accent.Leon heard the door and almost ran to it.He opened it casually and smiled a sexy smile to Claire.She could feel her cheeks become red."Hey there Leon!"she gave the Redfield smile.

Leon smirked"Hey,you ready to start or would you like something to munch on first?"She thought about his options wisely,"Munching on something does sound good"Leon just thought of a dirty thought and Claire could some how notice this.Leon blushed and showed her inside.They were both at the table eating pizza and conversing about what they were going to do."So Claire,hows your boyfriend?"he said hoping she didn't have one.Claire looked to him suprised he would ask something like that."Well Leon,guess what.I don't have one"she said sticking her tongue out playfully."How bout your girlfriend?"she said with a bit of jelousy in her voice.Leon blushed and looked to his pizza,"Well.......I don't have one either...."She looked to him and loved the way he would get embarassed so quick.She patted his back"yea welcome to my world Kennedy."she said pinching his cheek.He looked to her and winked.When they were finished eating it was time to start painting.Claire was on the ladder doing the top, and Leon was on the floor doing the bottom.He looked up and saw her short shorts were great.He grinned to the wonderus buttocks as something poked from his pants.He looked down and was in big trouble because she was coming down to him.{Shit shit shit shit shit shit.....WHAT NOW!!}he thought to himself.He looked to the bucket of paint and put it infront of his "friend"

Claire smiled victoriously,"Done the top,and by the looks of it you still haven't finished the bottom"she said about to take the bucket from him."No!"Leon looked to her holding the bucket firmly in his hands.She perked her brow and gave him a spacey look."Umm.....{Think of Barry in a bikini....Think of Barry in a bikini....Think of Barry in a bikini....Think of Barry in a bikini....}He thought to himself.I need the bucket

still heh,ya and um....why don't you get something to drink,you look like you need it."he said laughing nervously.She just gave him a weird look"Riiiiiiiiight"she said while stepping back and going to the kitchen.He looked down to see it was gone."whew ...Barry you saved me again"He said laughing to himself.Claire just looked to him and shook her head."I think the fumes got to his head."she said while coming back.He was now finished the bottom part,they just needed two more walls for the one room.

Chris was in his room looking at Jill's picture again.He sighed and called up Barry.The phone rang two times,when a little voice came on,"Hello?Burton residence"the small voice said,Chris smiled"Is your dad some Sammy?"The young girl grinned"Yes he is Chris,would you like to speak with him?" "Yes please."He was on hold for only seconds."Hey there Chris!hows it going?"Barry said happily while picking up his youngest daughter."Well...um I need to ask a favour..."his voice filled with saddness."Is something wrong?"he asked in worry."Well....no not really,it's just that...have you seen Jill around this past year?"Chris said touching the picture softly.Barry just smiled and knew what he was getting at,"I only seen her the day we all seen her,that last day we were all together.But I do know where she is."Barry's words made Chris go sad then happy in a second."You know!...do you think you can tell me?"He said getting a pen and paper."Sure Chris,she's at the next town over.I'll give you her address.lemme see....where did I put it....ah here it is! 993 Rosebury st. M8J 2M2,Grovesville." Chris wrote it all down,"Thank you so much Barry!I owe you!"Barry smiled "No problem."They both hung up and Chris was ready to send her a letter.

Back at Leons place,they were done doing the room.It looked pretty good."All done!thank God!"Leon said sitting down on the newspapers.Claire just looked in horror as the paint was stuck to her hair."LEON!!"He looked to her was about to laugh but he just couldn't do it."Stay still Claire!"He said holding her still."No!it hurts!!!"She said trying to pull away."Obviously its going to hurt!your tugging your own hair!"he said mocking her,Claire gave him an evil look and put his head to the paint.The two of them were now stuck to the painted wall."Can this get any worse."Leon said looking to the floor.All of a sudden the lights turned off."You just had to open your big mouth,didn't you Leon."Claire said pouting in the dark."Oh,right Im not the one who was caught first of all in paint!"He said looking at her in the dark."No your the one who's acting like a clown!"she said trying to pull her hair out slowly from the wall."A clown!oh please Claire your the biggest clown here!"He said also trying to get his hair free from the paint."Bite me Kennedy!"She said now free from the paint.Leon too was free and thought about what she said,He went up to her and bit her arm."OW! you moron!figure of speech!"She said punching his arm.Leon rubbed his arm,"eat me Claire eat me.."he said bluntly looking to her angrily.She went up to him and nibbled on his ear.

Leon blushed and pulled her closer,looking into her ice blue eyes.She grinned ear to ear and kissed him.He just smiled to her and gave her back a kiss.Before the two could even notice they were on the floor making out.Chris just finished the letter to Jill and signed it with his name.He was eager to put it in the mail now so she can get it tomorrow.So he got his jacket and head towards the post office.On his way there he decided to get Claire.Chris was now at Leons house,and the door was open so the fumes could get out,but the strange thing was,the lights were off.As Chris turned them on,he was about to scream in fear."AAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Both Claire and Leon said as they were on the floor on top of each other and kissing like fools."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"Chris also screeched.The three of them both screamed in horror for at least 5 minutes.Chris finally got his head together and looked to the new lovers."I thought you guys were suppose to be painting not making out!!When the hell did this all happen!"Chris said confused and a bit angry.

Claire got up and blushed heavily."Well,um....you see,my hair got caught in the painted wall,so I was stuck.So Leon tried to Help me out but I pushed his hair to the wall.SO we were both stuck there insulting one another,as soon as I got out from the wall...I kissed him.And then he kissed me and here we all are!heheheheahaha"she said scratching her head and laughing.Leon just smiled nervously to Chris and nodded.Chris just shook his head and slapped his forehead,"You two are a bunch of clowns you know that."The lovers both laughed and winked at each other."Well I guess,I can't do anything about this,it is your right to have a boyfriend.I respect that,but If you break her heart..I'll kill you''Chris said helping up Leon.Leon smiled and nodded to Chris who was a reasonable man."Well Claire looks like your gonna have to say bye for now,its time to head home."Chris said smiling to her.She nodded and gave a last kiss to Leon ,"I'll be here tomorrow to help you out ok?"she said winking,Leon got the picture and said bye.

Chris and Claire were now at the postal office which was closed due to the time."Dammit!"Chris said kicking a small rock.Claire just banged her head on the car window,"Chris are you that thick headed!theres the little red box right there!"she said pointing to it.Chris blushed and slipped the letter into the box and looked to his sister,"Thanks....heh..."she stook out her tongue and they were off.When they got home Claire and Chris had dinner and watched a movie."Oh come on!no!don't go there!..these horror movies are so predictable"Claire said bored out of her witts.Chris agreed,"Its nothing like what we were up against,and t was real.Well Im heading to bed,see you in the morning Claire."He said kissing her head and messing her hair up with his hand.Claire just slapped his but with a pillow and waved playfully.She just stayed on the couch flipping the channels for something good.Chris lay down on his bed smiling and waiting anxiously for tomorrow to come.He closed his eyes dreaming about the woman of his dreams.Another night alone,but filled with hopes and dreams.
