Gripping her hand, I pushed the door open, and held it just long enough for Yugi to push the door for his group behind him. I picked Weira up and held her in my arms as they walked by, pausing as Ryou walked by. "Hey, Ryou, couldja do me a favor?"
Something's wrong with me. "You wanna put Weira on your shoulders and order for her, while I go find everyone a table?" Did the alarm clock fall on my head? No, that couldn't be it. It must've been the reminiscing I've been doing. Thinking about my Mother kindof made me...In all honesty, more trusting, and kinder.
"Of course." He leaned over and grabbed the small girl, spinning her around before placing her on the back of his neck, gripping her hands to secure her as she began over. At that moment, I felt a sudden sense of security. Ryou's affection towards Weira...It reminded me of my Mother.
Blinking back the tears that had formed, I began towards the last two booths, when I found myself down on the ground. Searching for my glasses on the floor, I muttered a quick "Sorry," And paused as someone held me my glasses. I took them and stared up at the person, a wide grin spreading over my face. "REX!"
"The one and only!"
~
I sat down at the table across the table from Weira. Ryou sat next to her, and next to me, sat Rex. He'd taken no time catching up on me and telling me what was going on, what he was doing here, how his parents were doing and such.
I didn't waste any, either, telling him about everything, and about Yugi taking me in. The fight in the schoolyard, Weira at the hospital; EVERYTHING.
Behind us sat Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea, and every once of a while, Joey would add some heroic comment about himself in, and Yugi would sigh and throw another French fry at him to shutup.
After painfully shaking Weira's hand, he turned to me, beginning to look curious. "You never told me you had a little sister."
"You never asked," I took a sip of my Milkshake and narrowed my eyes at him.
"She looks just like you, y'know. The glasses, the hair, even the clothes she wears." Rex laughed and grinned, putting his arm around me. "You're lucky you weren't an only child. You have no one to boss around, no one to protect, no one to boss you around..." He muttered something else and suddenly looked as if he had paled. Gripping a handful of my French fries (BASTARD! .), he shoved them in his mouth and put on his most characteristic smile.
"What wassat last part?"
"...Something about Eminem?"
"Rex!"
"It was nothing, don't sweat it."
Glaring at him suspiciously, I narrowed my eyes and nearly screamed as I saw Tristan holding his Milkshake up, ready to pour it on Rex's hair. Hrmf. Maybe I should "accidently" fall silent like he did. Grinning, I suddenly realized how happy I was that I sat on the outside, because as soon as the first drop came out of that cup, I grabbed Weira and shot out of that McDonald's, followed by Tristan, Joey, Ryou, Yugi and Tea, with Rex on our tails.
Who knew we had tails?
"UNDERWOOD! YOU SET THIS UP, YOU'RE DEAD!" Uh-Oh. I've been found!
~
Laughing as I sat on my bed in my P.J's, across from Rex, I scratched the back of my head. "You head about that, eh?"
"'Leave me alone! I already said I'm not rowing!'" Rex bursts into a giggle fit, his eyes glittering. "It's been to long."
"Far too long." Me and Rex had spent the last couple of hours in Yesteryear, reminding ourselves of good times. Rex had called his Mother, and agreed to stay here, with Yugi's Grandpa's permission, for the next week.
It kinda scared me when he was on the phone, he kept looking like he was gonna bursts into tears, but I decided to push it away from my thoughts.
Oh, was it gonna be a week. Reaching over, I pulled a card from the side of my bed and handed it to Rex.
"Toldja I still had it. It's all faded and worn now, sorry." Rex had given me one of his cards as a sign of our friendship. When I threw Yugi's Exodia cards overboard on the Duelist Kingdom boat, I stupidly threw that card with it, and that'd why most of the ink had worn off.
Somehow, it had washed on the shore, and I found it during my duel with Mako Tsunami. Or after, rather. I got disqualified for running out of the Dueling Area, screaming "THE CARD! THE CARD!"
Chuckling at the memory, I laid my head against the wall and sighed. I returned my gaze to Rex, and he handed me the card, his expression unreadable; somewhere between confused, hurt, angsty, depressed, upset...Grieving, even. "What's on your mind?"
I shifted so that my legs were under me, and stared at him for a long time before he took a deep breathe, beginning to talk. "My family...Is...Imperfect. I hope you never saw them as Perfect, because-"
"I know your family's not perfect, Rex." I stared at him blankly. "Nobody's perfect, everyone has flaws, and-"
"I mean, my family's really imperfect." He lowered his eyes to his socks, and began to pick non-existant lint off of them. "I know this is gonna sound....Really weird, but my family's just as bad as yours."
I stared at him in disbelief. He couldn't be serious. His Mother and Father, compared to my Father? The Mother who used to bake us cookies, and the Father who used to ruffle my hair and call me 'Weevy?'
Woah. One minute now, hold on. "Wadda you saying? You're insane," I crossed my arms at him. "You're wrong, Rex, I know you might be mad at your parents or something, but no way. No one could.." I lowered my eyes to the ground. "Be as bad to you and my Father was to Weira and I."
"Well, fine Weevil, you don't wanna believe me, I didn't think it'd turn to this, but fine!" He turned away from me, and pulled his pajama tops off, his back facing me.
My eyes running across his back, I felt speechless, and found enough air to only mutter two words. "Holy shit."

Rex: -.-; Rika, did you HAVE to bring me and my parents into this?
Rika: ...Um. Yeah. *Bursts into tears* Gomen! I'm so sorry! Forgive me, Rex-Sama and Rin-Chan! Well, as an apology - *Pauses and sniffles* - REX WILL DO REVIEW Q&A! *Runs off with Weevil and Weira to the American Museum of Insects, if it even exists. *
Rex: ....o.o; Did I just get played? .! Okay, well, time for Review Q&A! ^-^
Kathy - She will. Or else you can threaten to steal Charlie from her. And yeah, you REALLY need to rp with her sometime, she's getting Writer's block. It took her about 17 fics for her to finally come upon the idea for the end. Nahh, she probably isn't doing better then you. Oh, by the way. She had this genious Idea that you could edit this Chapter a little, switch the P.O.V and turn this into your first chapter for your Me-Ficcie. By the way, start that ficcie. Or else. ^^
Weevil, Weira & Rex Plushies: *Shower reviewers*
Rex:=D Okay! Next review!
Rin - My Biggest Fan sense is tingling! Oh! Rin-Chan, there you are! ^-^ Yeah, she's finally getting to it. *Sips Cappuccino* And I'm getting a raise because I'm actually gonna be a main character in the ficcie. It owns, it's all good. ^_^ She finally updated...Again! Yaaaaaaay! n_n
Rex Plushies: *Shower Rin-Chan imparticularly*
Rex: Mwehehehe. ^^ Onto next review!
evilcourtney - New reviewer-Sama! Welcome to our...Interesting world. XD. Ah, yes, it's rare to stumble across fics about any "lower-life" character, but if you look at some of our fans like Rin-Chan and Weevil'sWoman, they're becoming more popular every day. Kinda gives you hope for mankind, seeing beneath the skin, oro? Rika-Chan appreciates the compliment on how she's done with Weevil, and she appreciates the compliment on how kawaii Weira is. Weira appreciates it too.
Weira: ^-^
Rex: Awwww. ^_^ Back to the review.
Ryou is kawaii. Just...Don't let IGlompBishounen, better known as Kathy-Sama know. She'll attack you. Honestly. *Points to shotgun in hand* You're lucky, it was a Machinegun before. XD. Yugi scares me, too, don't worry. And Joey - like I said a couple chapters ago, it's in Weevil's point of view, even if Joey was being a sweetheart about it, to Weevil, he's coming out like a jerk. ^^ Speaking of which, whatever the fic is, you have to tell Rika-Sama. She likes to read different stories. ^^ Here's a new chapter for your eye to look out at. XD. Have fun, and thankies for the quote. It'll be in the sequel, we promises. ^^ Yes, there is going to be a sequel, everyone. Fear. XD.
Well, I better get going. Ja everyone, have a good evening!
