Shout Outs!
To Wisecracker88: I don't have the slightest clue what you said so I'm just going to say thank you for the review and I'll ask you at school what you were talking about.
To Sweetgal1: I know, I didn't like him in that chapter either but he's one of the goodguys. He's OK, it was just that one confrontation. Interesting is my middle name by the way, just thought you should know.
To kiwiorange: I can and did push "your" Spot, but don't worry, I won't hurt your boytoy any more Ji Wonese = )
To Kawaii Julie Sama: Yes, time does pass, I'm sorry I left that out, I was kinda preoccupied when I wrote it and didn't mention the time passage untill the middle of the chapter. I'll try and do better next time.
To Sapphy: I know, I'm cruel, but I thought it was a pretty good fight scean, anyways I AM going to make him nicer but not by popular demand, I just wanted to. I kinda like him myself, not as much as Race, of course (that's impossible) but he's cool so I'm gonna keep him around as a nice guy.
To all of you readers I'm gonna put some song stuff in here, IT IS NOT A SONG-FIC just so you know, but some songs I know would go beautifully in this thing so I will do my best to just incorporate it as naturally as I can.
Disclaimer: You all know what goes in this slot so I'm just not gonna bother, but I do wonder if an implied Disclaimer works as a "not guilty" in the court-room. Oh, well, I might as well go ahead. Here we go....
Chapter 7
Red's Point of View
I was more pissed this morning than I'd ever been in my entire life. I was woken up early by Jacky-boy, yes, practially my big brother but it was bad timming on his part. This is kinda how it went.
Jack: Red! time to get up! We'll be late!
Me: UP YOURS!
Jack: What?
Me: Go away! I'm not getting out of bed and that's final!
Jack: Do you want me to take you into the washroom and clean out your ears with cold water?
Me: I said, GO AWAY!
Jack: RRREEEDDD!!!
Me: FINE!!!
I dragged myself out of my bunk with all of the sarcasm and indignation I could muster and shlumped over to the washroom to change my shirt. It couldn't get any worse, I had PMS and I was hot and was that a heat wave?
I moved out of the washroom and followed Jack outside and down to the Distribution center.
It was now undisputably summer or my name was Abraham Lincon. I think the looks nice and all but this was unbearable and I hate this smoggy, humid, sticky heat.
"Good-mornin' Red!" someone in the crowd yelled, it was Crutchy.
"It's not good, but it sure as heck is morning!" I yelled back, aggrivated by the mear sound of anyone's voice.
I could hear Crutchy start to mumble and turned away. I was then accosted by Race.
"Youse goona sell wid' me?" he asked
I was so not in the mood to do anything with anyone but I agreed...on one level or another.
"Yeah, whatever.." brilliant agreement, huh?
He raized one eyebrow quizzically, "You a'right Red?"
I almost shouted but I managed to keep my voice calm "Yeah, why wouldn't I be? I mean, I was so gently awoken by Mr. Kelly and it just HAD to be horribly hot!"
Race looked annoyed but said nothing.
But, at this time Blink, being the wit that he is stated something only Race, Jack, and I didn't, by this time, already know.
"They jacked up the price! You hear that Jack? Ten cents a hundred! You know, it's bad enough that we gotta eat when we don't sell, now they jack up the price! Can you believe that?"
Well, what I said next is unrepeatable and, therefore, lost forever to the sands of time, but Jack was sure surprised.

Race
Dear me, she was grouchy today. I know she had a reason but we are friends. I don't know if it's just a girl thing but she's making me mad just by looking at me. I don't know if I can sell all day with her. She's this close to getting a soakin' from me.
I was going down to Mid-town with Red to help round up that bourough and I was skeptical, Red's attitude was not helping. She made one more wisecrack and I whirled around.
NARRATION WRITING
Race looked hard at the girl who had quickly become his best friend in the short time she had spent at the lodging house.
She was fingering the slingshot Spot had given her when she had helped him out with a friend of his who was in trouble (Red and Spot were good friends now but not as good as Race and Red were). She had all of her hair braided to one side of her head so it hung down her shoulder.
Race knew she was his best friend but was quickly becomming an annoyance this morning. He had held it in the best he could but about 10 minutes after that wisecrack he couldn't take it any more. Race was going to yell full blast at her but he just noticed that she had started singing.
Stranded in the middle of a hurricane,
I've got an unbrella but nowhere to stay
Do I give up now or do I face the cold
I'd better get some boldness....
Lookin' to the left I see it comming
I'm alone and I'm scared and it's heading my way
Do I run, do I hide, do I dare close my eyes
Do I face the fear inside....
Time after time
I keep runnin' back to
Keep runnin' back to you
I realize this time
That I'll be fine
Even if the stars fell like rain
Even if tomarrow never came
Even if the world I know should crumble
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
Even if the sun left the sky
And even if these tears never dry
Even if the mountains fall and tumble
If what's left of me is taken,
I will not be shaken...
Race had never heard that song before, but he guessed where that came from
"One of dose songs a long time from now?" He winced at his words, he like having Red here, it was almost unthinkable now, what she had told them. She fit in here, she belonged.
"Yeah, it's buy a group of girls. Zoegirl, I think that's what they're, I mean, what they will be called." She sort of brushed the comment aside, she didn't like even thinking about home. She loved her family and missed them but...she...belonged here.
"I like the woids, it's kinda like what's goin' on right now, idn't it?"
Red, for the first time that morning, smiled, "Yeah, that's what reminded me of the song."
Race faked a look of shock. "Dear me! She smiled!"
Red laughed, a real laugh, she couldn't be mad at Race for too long, no matter how she tried.
"She's back! bring out the chanpagne! we'll celibrate!" Race yelled
Red grabbed Race's hat and took off towards Mid-town.
"Get back heah wid da sacred hat!" Race said laughing...
