A/N: wow, I actually A review! *Softly sobs in the background* Thank you to the anonymous reviewer known as Razzy. Ü Anyways, here's the next chapter.
Jr. let out a mischievous grin as Albedo showed him the small metallic mini-mines.
"Good, let's go ahead and…….do the mail boxes, no use in doing anything major, right?" Rubedo suggested. Albedo just got a bored look on his face.
"But, that's what we always do!" Then he suddenly grinned, "Let's try something different,……let's try something….I dunno, not to big, but not to small. Like…….uh…..oh! We could plant them in someone's car!" The white haired U.R.T.V. said with a now malicious grin on his face. Rubedo seemed a bit unsure about this.
"I dunno', Albedo, I mean, I'm willing to have some fun with some minor pranks, but, a car? What if it goes 'BOOM' while a person or even worse people are in it? I mean, sure these guys (the mines) don't pack much of a punch, but, it does pack enough to do some serious damage to people, and I'm not including the whole situation of what if the car catches fire and explodes." Albedo just scowled.
"Fine, we can do the same old same old," He muttered, Rubedo got a slightly relieved look on his face before Albedo continued, "but why should we care if people get hurt, it's just a bunch of stupid humans! It's not like they've ever done this planet or us any good!" Albedo hissed.
"Uhh……Well, the professor did make us, and he is human, right?" Rubedo pointed out. Albedo just arrogantly turned his head away from his friend.
"The professor?! All that old coot did was give Nigredo some books, and created us to do nothing except rot on this god forsaken planet!" Albedo exclaimed, "Geez, let's go….." he muttered as he walked away, stuffing the mines back into his pocket, and leaving Rubedo just standing there in surprise.
"Wait, Albedo, where are you going?!" Rubedo demanded as he ran to catch up with the aggravated Albedo who was now heading deeper into the city. He just snorted and waited for Rubedo to catch up.
"I don't get it!" He said once Rubedo caught up, "Why do we bother with any of these people? You saw the loads of guns the professor keeps for whatever reasons! We could just take the guns and get rid of anybody who gets on our nerves including the professor!" Rubedo seemed very uncomfortable with the way this conversation was going, but Albedo didn't notice, "Why should we have to do anything for those idiot humans?! I mean, look at them!" Albedo viperously said glaring at the little girl throwing a tenter-tantrum because her mom didn't buy her some toy while Rubedo gave him a slightly worried look, "They're nothing more than sniveling cowardice idiots! It makes me ashamed to think I was created by one!" He said with disgust. He then turned to Rubedo, who now had an oddly blank face.
"……Albedo," He started calmly, "Where did this sudden……resentment and disgust for mankind come from?" he slowly finished while fixing Albedo with an intense gaze, as if he was trying to bore down and peer into Albedo's currently black soul.
"……Who said I just started feeling like this?" Albedo asked after a moment of tense silence, then, before Rubedo could comment, he turned around and ran back towards the field that held the lab.
"……." Rubedo let out a regretful sigh and gave a sad glance to the now crimson dusk sky before he walked back to the lab, not bothering to catch up with Albedo.
"Ah, Nigredo, there you are!" a kind old man said as he gazed fondly at the small 5 year old boy contently reading a ridiculously thick book. Nigredo gave the professor with the messy mop of black hair, with thin streaks of grey hair, and thin-rimmed glasses a brief glance of acknowledgment before he dove his nose back into his book.
"Something you need, professor?" he mumbled, his eyes not straying from the pages of his book.
"Yes, it's time for dinner, and do you know where Rubedo and Albedo are?" he asked. Nigredo shrugged, he couldn't care less where they were.
"I think they're still trying to play pranks in the city. They should be back soon, I expect." He said in a dull tone of voice. The professor got a slightly surprised look on his face.
"When did they leave to the city? And what pranks?" he asked. Nigredo sighed and rolled his eyes.
"They left while you were doing more tests, and they always do pranks when they get there, you've just never noticed because they've always got back from the city before you're done with the tests." Nigredo explained, "You'd notice these things if you actually didn't live in that lab, ya' know." He said in a cynical tone of voice, while still absent-mindedly reading his book.
"…….Right, ummm……..let's wait for them to come back, then, we'll have dinner." He mumbled, "…Uhh…..I gotta' go feed the others…...right…..too." He quickly left the dimly lit room Nigredo always read in once it got dark.
"Geez, some thing's never change."
Albedo angrily stomped into the lab, half expecting the professor to actually be there standing and ready to give him some kind of a pointless lecture.
"Figures…." He snarled to himself as he headed down the empty hallway towards the room he had to share with Nigredo and Rubedo. Nigredo looked up from his book as he saw the angered and annoyed Albedo stomp past the room he was in and head towards their room.
"……Where's Rubedo?" he muttered as he curiously peeked out the door, after he heard Albedo slam the door shut, towards the desolate hallway, expecting Rubedo to pop out of nowhere with the usual goofy grin plastered on his face. Instead, he saw the person he least expected to see…….the professor. 'Is he going on a guilt trip or what?! I didn't think my comment would have that much of an affect…….I didn't think he was even listening!' Nigredo thought to himself as he quickly removed his head from the hallway before the professor spotted them and pretended to be reading his book, again. The professor headed straight towards their room without a glance towards Nigredo, and, to his and Nigredo's surprise, his mouth pressed into a thin line of stern determination. Once the professor knocked on their door, Nigredo cautiously peeked his head out again to see how Albedo would react. Nigredo couldn't help but quietly snicker as he thought about Albedo's reaction. To the professor's and his dismay, Albedo didn't even open the door. With an annoyed sigh, and Nigredo even more surprised about the professor showing an emotion other than grins and fascination, he knocked on the door again, slightly louder than last time.
"Albedo, Rubedo, I know you two are in there." He said as he continued to knock.
"………You don't know anything." Came Albedo's muffled reply. Nigredo and the professor were both surprised by the bitterness in Albedo's voice. 'What's eating him?' Nigredo thought to himself as he continued to watch in interest, not noticing the entrance door softly open and close.
A/N: Aww…..poor everyone. This is a strange out take of their life, ne? Atleast I think so, and I haven't even gotten to Gaignun, the cat not the person…..er….U.R.T.V. or whatever. ^_^;; Anyways, please R&R!!
