Blood Rose Chapter 2:
A friend once told me that life was never fair, that it was only meant to screw you over. He must have a really shitty life then if he complains about it so much. My life does not suck. I have two loving parents, an annoying twin brother, and I'm living with my best friend. My life does not suck, period. Now as I was. I was sleeping peacefully until I heard my dad laughing like a hyena along with Vash. Looks like my mom is arguing with Meryl again. I hate it when she calls me the "Baby" I'm not a baby anymore but she doesn't seem to get it sometimes. Then I heard the door open and Grey came in all flustered and embarassed. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, but he needs to grow some balls and tell Rose that he loves her, otherwise it wil be too late. I love my dad also, but he can be such an ass, and I mean a real ass.
"Dad made fun of you again, huh," I said.
"Why does he do that to me?" He asked.
"Maybe because he's trying to tell you to tell Rose that you love her, or else he'll keep on teasing you." I said.
Grey stood there for a minute thinking about what I had said then he smiled and turned around to face me.
"Okay, I will tell her I love her at 4:53 PM, today." He said.
"My, how ambitious of you." I said sarcasticly.
He smiled then left me alone in my room. I love Grey a lot cause he's my brother, but I sometimes think to myself that he is a freaking retard. I know he's not gonna tell her that he loves her. I got out of bed and got dressed.
Rose was busy combing her hair when she heard the door.
"Come in!" She shouted.
Vash opened the door and walked up to his daughter.
"Watcha doin!" He said excidedly.
"Nothing, just combing daddy." She replied sweetly.
"Is it for a certain special someone." He said batting his eyelashes.
Rose blushed at the thought.
"Well?" Vash pressed on.
"Okay, I guess I can trust you." She said.
"See I was right, now who's the lucky guy?" He asked, even though he already knew who it was.
"Okay, promise not to tell mom, Milly, Grey, Lenn, and especially Wolfwood, I have a crush on Grey." She said softly.
Vash smiled at this for two reasons: He knew that she liked for some time and the fact that Grey liked her also gave him a plan to discuss with Wolfwood.
"I thought so." He said.
"Oh please, please, don't tell anyone, please keep it a secret daddy, please?" She asked batting her innocent puppy dog eyes.
"Okay, honey, I won't tell anyone, father's honor!" He said he was making his trademark love and peace gesture.
"Thank you!" She said as she hugged her father.
That night...
Dinner was very tense. Meryl was waiting for someone to do something or say something stupid, so that she can pick a fight with them. Milly and Wolfwood were just sitting happily together, flirting and playing with each other. Lenne sat next to Rose twiddling her thumbs, while Rose didn't touch her food, she was staring down and looking up, trying to catch Grey's stares. The silence was thick until Vash decided to speak.
"I have some great news, Uncle Knives is coming to town!" He said.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared at Vash.
"Are you serious?" Meryl asked.
"You've got to be joking!" Wolfwood said.
"I'm not, sorry." Vash replied.
"This is wonderful!" Milly said.
"I wouldn't say that mom." Lenn replied.
"Remember the last time he visited?" Grey said.
-Flashback-
(set to the beat of the BeeGees' "Staying Alive")
"Hey Meryl, give me some of that Wild Turkey!" Knives shouted.
"I've never seen him drink this much before." Wolfwood said.
"Hey Milly, sweetie pie! Come sit on my sexy lap, baby!" Knives shouted.
Wolfwood panicked and Vash tried to hold his brother's liquor. Meryl was more than embarassed and the kids were just gave him starnge looks.
"Come on now don't be shy, Milly!" He shouted.
"Stop hitting on my wife!" Wolfwood shouted.
"Geeze, I wasn't hittin on her calm down now brother, here have another beer!" He said.
"Isn't your uncle normally well-behaved?" Grey asked.
"He's usually calm and mild-mannered, when he's not drunk." Rose replied.
"In any case it's better this way, because we can do whatever the hell we want, let's party!" Lenn shouted.
"Hey Wolfwood, can I adopt Lenn?" Knives asked.
"NO!"Milly and Wolfwood said together.
"Sorry kid, hey I got a great idea!" Knives said.
Knives stood on the table and took off his shirt. Then he proceeded to take off his pants and then his under wear. Everyone was shocked and started to look away.
"I'M GOING STREAKING!!!!!" He shouted.
He ran out of the house and into the crowded street. Everyone was aggitated and shocked.
"Looks like you have to go get him this time, Vash." Meryl said.
"Me!? I did it last time!" Vash said.
"I'm not going to do it!" Wolfwood protested.
Milly turned red and I mean the kind of red that makes other people know that you're mad.
"GET YOUR SORRY ASSES OUT THERE OR I WILL SHOVE MY STUNGUN UP BOTH OF YOUR ASSES!!!" She shouted.
Everyone looked at Milly, shocked.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to overreact." She said sweetly.
"We'll be back soon, Honey." Wolfwood said.
"We'll be back!" Vash said.
"Remind me to hide the liquor, the next time he comes and MIlly I take back all of the bad things I said about Wolfwood, I'm sorry." Meryl said.
"It's alright Meryl." Milly said sweetly.
"This has been, the weirdest New Year's Eve ever." Rose said.
"I'll drink to that." Grey said.
-End of Flashback-
"Honestly, I don't think it would be a great idea to have him visit." Meryl said.
"I know, but the kids are almost out of school and he just wants to take them on a vacation, you know to spend time with them." Vash said.
"Dad, don't get me wrong, I love Uncle Knives, but you know how he is when he gets drunk." Rose said sweetly.
"We'll just have to wait to discuss it with him when he gets here." Wolfwood said.
Meryl pulled Milly aside and they both went into the kitchen. She handded Milly the key to the Liquor Cabinet.
"Milly, get rid of all of our liquor, we don't want the same incident that happened at the New Year's Eve, Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, Halloween, or Thanksgiving Parties." Meryl said sternly.
"Right Meryl!" She said with a smile. Milly opened the cabinet and took all of the liquor. Where she hid remained an enigma.
