Heart of Stone
Chapter 3: "I have really good hair"
Raven grinned. "Have fun last night?" Poking Xeno on the shoulder. Xeno grunted and picked himself off of the still sleeping Irvine. He ran his fingers through his short, greasy black hair. "Don't you knock?" He rubbed his eyes, standing up. "No, I don't. You should have locked the door". Raven turned the doorknob, indicating that it wasn't locked. "You're lucky I got here before some else did." Xeno strolled out of the apartment door. "I wish I had brought my phone" He searched through his coat pockets. "You taking me to my hotel or something?" Raven grumbled. "It's 2:30 in the afternoon. It's not like you need to get anymore sleep. And, no. I came here to get you up because you weren't at work. But, I'll take you back." Raven closed the apartment door and walked down the steps to the tan Jeep. "Get in". Raven and Xeno stepped into the Jeep and left the parking lot of the complex. "Take me to First and Greene street" Xeno crossed his legs. "Take you". Raven muttered under his breath. "Say something?" Xeno smirked. Raven turned and cocked his head at him. "I'm not your driver." "Watch the road" Xeno grabbed the steering wheel, swerving them back onto the road.
-Base, 1 hour later-
Raven pulled Van away from working on the Liger. Van looked at his digital watch. "It took you an hour for a 30 minute trip". Raven sighed. "I had to help Xeno match his tie with his suit". Van set down the wrench and chuckled. "Not only that, when I went over to Irvine's place, Xeno was there, half consumed by Irvine's chest" Raven placed his boot on the foot of the Liger and began tying the laces. "How interesting" Van lifted his eyebrows.
Xeno flicked his blue tie. "I still don't think this matches" He directed his attention to Thomas and Fiona, who were 'playing' with each other on the only two chairs in the hangar. He walked towards them and held out his tie. "Does this match?" "No." a voice came up from behind him. He turned around to see Irvine holding a dusty and beaten up CD Player. Xeno raised his right eyebrow. "For me?". Irvine tossed him the CD Player. "Now, you can't complain about not having a CD Player." Xeno smirked. "Thanks". He grabbed some tape and walked over to the Geno-Saurer. He lowered the cockpit's chair and sat in. Once inside the cockpit, He grabbed the CD Player and taped the bottom half to the side of the cockpit. "For better listening pleasure!" Xeno pulled out on of the adapter lines in the cockpit and plugged it into the side of the CD Player. He jumped down from the cockpit. "And, one more thing" Irvine walked up to him and whispered into his ear. "Your hair smells pretty damned good".
-Men's Bathroom-
Xeno whistled as he made circles in the toilet water with his piss. He flushed the toilet and headed to the sink to wash his hands. "He said I had nice hair. This calls for a CELEBRATION!". He finished washing his hands and headed to the hangar. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Guardian Force! In an act of my great kindness, I will be taking you all out to dinner!". Raven scoffed. "Great kindness". "You like him" Van poked Raven in the side. "How do you know?" poking Van back. "You talk in your sleep" Van said, smiling.
-Avion De papier-
All seven of them sat around the large, round, wooden table. "Paper plane" Xeno grumbled. "You people from Zi are not creative. They sat, waiting for their food. Van attacked his water glass with a knife, as if to have a sword fight with the innocent glass. Raven drummed his fingers on the table, staring at the painting on the wall. Thomas and Fiona whispered sweet, senseless little nothings into each other's ears. Moonbay hoarded all of the table bread and butter, shoving them into her purse and jean pockets. Xeno leaned towards his left and whispered into Irvine's ear. "I apologize and all about last night. Didn't really mean to collapse atop of you." Irvine blinked. "S'all right. It was kind of nice to have someone over. Even if it means for them to fall asleep on top of your body". Xeno snorted and smiled. Their food arrived and they ate most of it, except for Van, who was to amused with the "Knife Vs. Water Glass Battle" to hardly touch the meal. Xeno left the check on the table and all seven of them headed out of the restaurant. They stood on the street corner, rubbing their hands together on the chilly night. "Man, I should have brought my coat" Van mumbled, rubbing both of his arms. "I told you to bring one, Van." Raven unzipped his large leather jacket and motioned for Van to come over. Van rested his back against Raven's chest, grabbing the sides of the jacket. "Better?" Raven grabbed Van's waist from under the jacket. "Much better" He rested his head against Raven's shoulder and smiled. "What the Hell is taking Robert so God damned long" Xeno looked at his watch. "Maybe he's lost" Moonbay popped up from next to him. "This isn't exactly New York City" Xeno sighed. "New York City?" Moonbay questioned. "Big ass city on Earth" Xeno crossed his arms. "Maybe there was traffic" She added again. Xeno laughed, "There are maybe 10 cars on the road tonight. It's not like he was stopped by a 30 car pile up". "Why don't you ask him yourself" Irvine pointed to the jet black limousine as it pulled up to the corner. Xeno opened the door and motioned everyone to get inside. Irvine followed by Moonbay, Thomas and Fiona, the waddling Raven and Van cocoon. After all sat down, Xeno got in and shut the door. Raven released Van from his coat, Van slid next to him and cracked his shoulder. "That's better", he said as he rested his head on the side of Raven's shoulder. Fiona de-attached her face from Thomas' and asked "Where are we going, by the way?". Xeno shrugged, " I don't know. Where do you guys want to go?". Van lifted his head off of Raven, "How about we go and see where you're staying. Isn't that right, Raven?" Van patted his hand against Raven's cheek. "I don't give a damn" Raven looked down and smirked at Van. "We'd like to see where you're staying" Thomas and Fiona said in unison. "Majority wins" Irvine rested his head on the headrest. "I'll see what you've got, Xen'". Moonbay winked at him. "Xen?" Xeno raised his eyebrow. "Robert, back to the hotel room".
-Birmmington Hotel, Xeno suite-
Xeno pushed the key in and unlocked the door. He turned the knob opened the door and took out the key, putting in back in his pocket. He flicked the light switch, illuminating the gold and white living room to the suite. "Woooww" Van ran and plopped down onto the couch. The rest of the 5, followed Xeno into the other room. "Kitchen" Xeno flicked the light switch, showing the green and white marble kitchen. "Dining room", again lighting up the magnificent room. "And finally, my bed room" He opened the double door to the bright gold room. "Nothing special" He said, closing the door. "What?" Thomas grabbed his house key. "That room is probably worth more than the cost of my house!" Xeno grinned and shrugged, "Oh well". He led the rest back to the living room to find Van had already made himself at home. Chips and Cokes on the coffee table with the television on. Xeno put his hand next to Raven's ear. "How do you live with him?". He lifted back up. "He's cute, I didn't say I liked living with him" Raven said, walking into the living room. "You guys can stay until I have to go to bed" Xeno finished his sentence and the phone rang. He picked it up and listened, his right eyebrow lifted. "Or, you can stay until we have to get back to the base. Which is now. It seems that it's being attacked by some rebels"

Took longer this time.I didn't write anything on Monday. So if I did, I would have posted Tuesday. But, I didn't. I don't know what I'm going to do for chapter four.
