Chapter 5: Annoyance and Debt paying
Van and Irvine are conversing while Fiona shows Moonbay the kite around the tree trick.
"Well when you do finally ask her out, then I know of a nice place that you two can spend the evening." Irvine says grinning.
"Oh really how do you know of this place?" Van asks turning back to Irvine from looking at Fiona.
"Well let's just say I have connections." Irvine says looking at Moonbay.
"I see you been around the block a time or two." Van says, slightly laughing to himself as Irvine playfully punches him.
Thomas then shows up to the area.
"Hey Fligheit." Thomas yells as Van and Irvine stops their conversing and turn to him.
"Oh man great. I thought the weekend was a way away from him." Irvine says putting his hand on his head.
"Pain in the asses never take a day off." Van says sighing and now turning to Thomas completely.
"Hello Fligheit. I can see you and the losers have nothing else better to do today." Thomas snaps.
"Yeah whatever." Irvine says walking away.
"Listen Thomas, Today is my time away from you, so do me a favor and continuing being a distant thought until Monday." Van says walking away.
The Kite field*
"And that's how you do it." Fiona says giving the kite back to Moonbay.
"Wow thanks Fiona. So how are things with you and Van?" Moonbay asks wrapping the string of the kite on the pole.
"Oh we are just friends. I don't want to go too fast with it." Fiona says putting her hands in her jacket pockets. "He is cute though and he makes me laugh a lot."
"Well don't do anything you might regret. Taking it slow is best." Moonbay says now letting the kite fall.
"Are you and Irvine dating or what?" Fiona asks now turning to Van and Irvine, who are walking up to them.
"Not really, but like you and van, we're taking it slow." Moonbay says now turning to Irvine.
"Hello ladies." Van says turning to Fiona.
"Hey guys. What's Thomas doing here?" Moonbay says now noticing him.
"Oh he I don't know. Just to be annoying." Van says turning around to see Thomas. He then turns back to the group.
"So how's it going with that kite moon?" Irvine asks looking at the kite on the ground.
"Oh I'm tired of playing with it." Moonbay says turning to looks at it. "Anyone up for ice cream?"
"Sure." Fiona says.
"Well I'm really not in the mood, so you guys go on ahead." Van says turning to Fiona. "Fiona would it be ok if I spoke to you?"
"Sure Van. You guys go on ahead." Fiona says turning to Moonbay and Irvine.
"Ok see ya later van." Irvine says as he and Moonbay walks off.
"You wanted to talk to me Van?" Fiona says looking at him now.
"Yeah I wanted to spend more time with you since, you know." Van says, trying to gather his words.
"Van I understand and don't worry." Fiona says giving him the warm smile. "Let's chat."
Thomas stands off in the distance, just watching what's going on in front of him.
"I hate you Fligheit." Thomas says as he continues watching Van and Fiona talk.
"I'm sorry I didn't have much more planned today for us to do something interesting." Van says looking sad.
"No Van, it's ok. The park was a great idea. I mean it's a nice day and I love being outdoors and like to get out when I can." Fiona says as Van brightens his expression.
"Really? I thought that maybe you would like to go shopping more then be outside." Van says as Fiona looks at the ground.
"That's one of the things I would like to not do every weekend." Fiona says.
"You hate shopping?" Van asks curiously.
"No I don't hate it, but when I was at my other school, me and my friends did that every weekend." Fiona says looking up at Van now. "It does get boring once you think about it."
"I guess it does. So what do you want to do now?" Van asks.
"Well I'm not sure. We could talk some more and try to get to know each other better." Fiona suggests.
"That would be wonderful." Van says as they begin walking and talking.

Karl is outside mowing the lawn when Thomas runs up.
"I wonder where he went." Karl says stopping the mower to wait for Thomas's rant.
"Yes Thomas?" Karl asks waiting.
"Karl I just spotted them in the park together. Them and those others." Thomas complains.
"And I'm suppose to do what about this?" Karl asks turning back to the mower.
"Well I need help." Thomas whines. "You seem to be the woman Magnet."
Karl turns from the mower to let out a laugh.
"Me, the Woman magnet. Thomas please tell me what world I'm living in here." Karl says now turning back to Thomas.
"Well you seem really good at advice giving." Thomas says. "Please Karl."
Karl takes off the work gloves and sets them on the mover handles.
"Walk with me Thomas." Is all Karl says as Thomas joins him.
The Park*
Van and Fiona are still talking, now about their interests.
"No way you like that group too?" Van asks as Fiona nods.
"I'm not really into to rock, but I do love them." Fiona says smiling.
"I can't believe we have so much in common." Van says smiling himself.
"Well we do." Fiona says not believing it herself.
"Fiona would you like to go get a soda or maybe see a movie?" Van asks stopping.
"I would love to." Fiona warmly says as Van smiles to himself.
"I know a nice little shop around the corner." Van says.
Irvine and Moonbay*
Irvine and Moonbay are at the Ice ream shop, enjoying a banana split.
"I wonder what Van and Fiona are doing." Irvine says taking another bite of the split.
"I really don't know. I think they would make a cute couple if and when they decide to date." Moonbay says taking a spoonful. "You know Fiona asks me a question today that I'm wondering myself."
"What's that?" Irvine inquires.
"Well she asked if we were dating." Moonbay says looking at Irvine.
"Well what do you think?" Irvine says now looking Moonbay in the eyes.
"I don't know." Moonbay says turning away with a slight tint of red in her face.
"I think you do." Irvine says now going back to eat the rest of his side.
Soda Shop*
Van and Fiona have just gotten to the shop and have a table by the window.
"So what do you usually do on these days besides go shopping?" Van asks.
"Well when I'm not shopping I stay at home and cook or bake or spend the rest of the day on the Internet." Fiona says sound sad. "What do you usually do?"
"Well I usually spend the whole day watching TV or go out with Irvine and Moonbay." Van says looking out the window.
"I know what you mean. On the weekends there is nothing usually to do until the weekdays where you have to face school." Fiona says as the waiter brings their sodas.
"Thanks." Van says giving the waiter a tip. The waiter takes it and walks off.
"By the way did you do your homework for Prozen?" Fiona asks taking a sip of her crème soda.
"Oh no I didn't even get started on it." Van says taking a sip as well. "I really don't see where we need those facts anyway."
"Well you never know." Fiona says taking another sip.
Thomas's walk*
Thomas has just gotten a lecture from Karl and decides to act on his own.
"Karl's advice didn't help me." Thomas whines. "I wish Fiona would show a romantic interest in me more then Fligheit."
While Thomas is walking he walks past a few shops, but then a familiar scene hits him as he backs up. He looks across the street to the soda shop and can see Van and Fiona, sitting the table, talking still.
"Sneaky son a of a bitch." Thomas says as he begins to cross the street.
"I'm going to stop this once and for all." Thomas says as he runs into the street. As he runs, cars are stopping and the drivers are yelling at him.
"Watch where you're going jackass." One of the cab drivers yells.
"Sorry." Thomas says finally making it across the street. When he gets over there he walks into the shop and takes a seat two booths down from where Van and Fiona are sitting. Neither of them noticed he came in.
The waiter noticed Thomas and comes to his table.
"Can I help you sir?" The waiter asks while chewing gum.
"Let me have a strawberry crème." Thomas says in a low tone so the other two won't hear him.
"Right away sir." The waiter says walking away and back to the kitchen. From where Thomas is sitting, he can hear Fiona laugh again.
"Such a sweet sound." Thomas says as his mind wanders off to the sound if her voice.
Van looks at his watch and can see its about 4:45 (p.m.)
"Well after this what would you like to do?" Van asks a Fiona turns back to him from the window.
"Well not to be rude, but I do have to get going to take care of a few things at home." Fiona says sounding unsure.
"Oh you're not being rude, I do understand. After this I'll walk you home." Van says brightening her expression.
"Thanks for understanding Van." Fiona says slightly biting her bottom lip.
"Hey that's what great friend do." Van says taking what little bits of Soda he has left. Fiona finishes hers as well.
"All gone." Fiona says grinning.
Booth 3*
Thomas is drinking his soda and listening to them.
"So how about on Monday I walks you to school, so you won't have to go all that way by yourself?" Van asks.
"That would be great." Fiona says noticing how tense Van is.
Thomas has heard enough and jumps out of his booth. He walks over to their booth.
"Hi Fiona." Thomas says smiling with a red tint in his face.
"What is it now Thomas?" Van asks in annoyance.
"Nothing that concerns you." Thomas snaps, now turning to Fiona. "Fiona I would love to be your escort on Monday to school. Would you like it if my brother and me picked you up?"
"Sorry Thomas Van already asked me." Fiona says as Van grins.
"Well we better get going." Van says getting up as well as Fiona.
"Wait I'm not through talking to you Fligheit." Thomas says watching them put on their jackets.
"But I am. Waiter check." Van says as the waiter brings the check. She hands it to him.
Van takes a look at it and hands it to Thomas.
"Here while you're still talking to me." Van says as he and Fiona walk off.
"Wait I don't have any money." Thomas says as the waiter stares at him.
Van and Fiona have left the shop and are now on her way home.
"If you don't have any money, then how are you going to pay for your soda?" The waiter asks as Thomas smiles.
"Can I call my brother? He'll take care of it." Thomas says hoping that would work.
"No I got a job for you." The waiter says taking the bill and Thomas to the back.

"It's no problem really. I'm sorry it was so short." Fiona apologizes.
"It's ok. I do understand." Van says looking at the ground.
"Well I guess this is Good bye until later on?" Fiona says smiling.
"Yeah it is. Call me?" Van asks.
"Yeah I will." Fiona says turning towards the door.
"One more thing." Van says as Fiona turns back to him.

"After you're done with that, the floors need sweeping." The waiter says as she puts another glass and a plate in the sink, on top of all the dishes that Thomas has to scrub already.
"More work?" Thomas whines.
"You're paying off you debt." The waiter says now leaving kitchen.
"I swear I'll make you pay for this Fligheit." Thomas says as he scrubs a hard to clean bowl.
Well I hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry if it's a bit boring and I'm using that term loosely because of the flame I got earlier about this fic. That's ok she won't be able to turn on her computer after what I sent her. Well for you nicer reviewers please review and tell me how you like it.
Any flamers who got the same idea, I'm waiting for you too.
