Pre-chapter Conversation

"Hey boss?" Izzy asked, starting off this week's discussion.

"What?" I asked.

"I was just thinking. Where are Sam's clones supposed to sleep?" I raised an eyebrow at the question. While it was somewhat random, he had a good point. Where are they supposed to sleep? I got into a thinking pose.

"Hmmmm…" I shrugged after a few seconds. "I guess there's a good reason why he's got a bunk bed after all. The clones could sleep on the top bunk and the original Sam can sleep on the bottom one."

"Well, that solves that problem." Izzy said, rolling his eyes. I sighed and held my head.

"Man… I think I'm starting to run out of ideas for these little skits." I turned to the camera. "Anyway, this chapter contains a lemon scene!"

"WHAT!?!" Izzy roared at the announcement. I only rolled my eyes at him.

"Of course, before the scene occurs, there's gonna be plenty of romance and comedy, as well as a couple of references."

Izzy growled at that one, causing me to sneer at him. I turned back to the camera.

"'So who's going to do the nasty?' you ask? Well, read and you'll find out!" I waved.

Triple the Squid, Triple the Trouble

Chapter 3

Triple Date

Later that night, at Sam's house…

"What the hell was that!?" Sam yelled at his blue clone, who was sitting on the couch, as he walked inside. "What on Earth were you doing with Otto!?"

"Well, you were gone so long and it got boring, so I went to see him." Blue Sam replied sheepishly.

"And then you admitted my love to him!?!" The clone stood up and glared at the other blond.

"Well what was Twister doing in only his underwear?!" He shot back.

"Don't change the subject!" Sam shouted.

"Why not? After all, I thought you were going to ask him for help, NOT have sex with him!" Sam thought about this for a moment and sighed.

"Ok, ok. Sorry." He put on a smirk. "So tell me, is Otto a good kisser?"

"The best." Blue Sam answered with a longing sigh. "So how was Twister?"

"Amazing… I didn't know he was such an animal in the sack and—" Sam shook his head vigorously. "What am I saying!? It's only been a day and already we're in too deep!"

"Chill already. It's cool. As long as our other counterpart didn't do anything rash, we could still make this work." Just then, the door opened and in stepped Red Sam, who was singing a tune.

"Pretty… I feel so pretty and witty and gaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!" He sang as he danced around the room. "I feel so pretty and witty and—YIKES!!!" He yelled that part out when he noticed the icy glares the other two blonds sent him. He put up his hands in defense. "I can explain!"

"Just answer one question." Normal Sam started, rubbing his temple. "Where were you for the last few hours?" Red Sam gulped.

"W-with K-Keoni…"

"Eeeeee!!!! Keoni's here!" Blue Sam squealed.

"Down boy. Besides, you're with Otto now." Normal Sam remarked. The cobalt clone snapped his fingers.

"Damn…"

"Hold up! You got with Otto!?" Red Sam yelled. He turned to Normal Sam. "So what did Twister say?" Blue Sam crossed his arms.

"Nothing. He was too busy sucking—"

::WHAM!::

"You didn't." Red Sam gaped at Normal Sam, who was blushing as he put his fist down. "But what about the plan!?!"

"::Ahem!:: Let's just say it has officially gone to hell." The blond in the orange shirt replied as his blush dissipated.

"Another thing," Blue Sam started, still rubbing his head. "Where'd you get that necklace?" He pointed at Red Sam's piece of jewelry. The one in the crimson shirt blushed as he nuzzled his head against it.

"Keoni gave it to me as a pledge of our undying love for each other." The other two Sams slapped their heads.

"I take it back. Now it has gone to hell." Normal Sam said as all three slouched into the couch.

"Well look on the bright side," Blue Sam started. "At least now you know all three of them are gay and in love with you."

"A lot of good that does me." Sam sighed.

"We should call it a night." Red Sam said, yawning.

"Yeah. Before anymore chaos occurs." Blue Sam agreed as all three stood up.

"One question though. Where's Mom?" Normal Sam asked. Both clones looked at him and shrugged. "You mean she hasn't returned yet!?!"

"I hope she's alright." Red Sam said fearfully.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine." Blue Sam said, waving a dismissive hand. "She can take care of herself, remember?" The other two nodded and retired to Sam's room, where they slept, dreaming of their lovers.

Meanwhile, at the supermarket…

"This has got to be the biggest checkout line ever!" Paula yelled. She was at the end of a line that went as far as the freezers.

The next day…

Normal Sam got up with a start and walked into the kitchen. He noticed a note posted to the fridge.

"'Sorry I got in late last night. I have a hair appointment today. If I don't see you later, there's money for food. Love, Mom.'" He read. "Well, at least I know she got home safely." He got a glass of orange juice and moved to the living room. It was then that he noticed that the red light on the house answering machine was blinking.

"Hmmm… Probably Mom checking up on me." He chuckled as he pressed the play button. He took a sip.

"You have two new messages." The machine beeped. Sam took another sip.

"Hey Sammy!" He promptly spit out the juice when he heard Otto's voice. "I guess you already went to sleep. Too bad. Anyway, I wanted to call to know if you wanted to go out tomorrow. I guess you can call it our first date." He chuckled. Sam looked scared beyond belief. "Anyway, call me as soon as you get this. Love you." The machine beeped. Sam sighed with relief.

"That's definitely not something to wake up to. Might as well hear the other message." He pressed the play button. The machine beeped to start the next recording. Sam took another sip to calm his nerves.

"Uhh… Aloha Sam." Again, orange juice flew out of Sam's mouth when he heard Keoni's nervous voice. "I'm just calling to ask if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow. I was thinking we go to the movies or something. It's totally up to you. Anyway, call me back. I love you. Bye."

"End of messages." The electronic voice buzzed, but it was drowned out by Sam screaming bloody murder. It took him a few minutes to regain his composure.

"Thank God Mom didn't listen to the messages. Now what am I going to do?"

"Man… What in the world are you screaming about?" Blue Sam asked tiredly as he and Red Sam walked into the living room. They both rubbed their eyes and stretched their arms. They woke up instantly when Normal Sam grabbed them by the throats and pushed them against the wall.

"Ahhh!!! We just got up! What'd we do?!" Red Sam croaked.

"He went psycho on us!" Blue Sam added. Normal Sam gave them both a cold glare before letting go. The clones kneeled on the ground and took in air.

"Congratulations, you two. You're going on a date." Normal Sam said with his arms crossed. His clones raised an eyebrow at him. He moved over to the answering machine. "Listen." He replayed the messages. When the machine was done, both clones rushed to the bathroom to get ready. Normal Sam sighed and grabbed the phone.

"Think you might want to call them first?" He asked as he reached the door to the bathroom. The door was opened a crack and the phone was snatched out of his hand. Instantly, fighting was heard. About two minutes passed before the rapid pressing of keys was heard, as well as more shouting.

At Otto's…

The shrill sound of the phone ringing jarred the redheaded teen from sleep and dreams of Sam. He groaned as he sat up in bed.

"No fair… I just was about to—" He yawned as he stood, dressed in only a pair of boxers. As the phone continued ringing, he trudged down the stairs. He was about to drop when he finally reached the bottom of the stairs and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" He yawned into the phone.

"Well good morning." Otto fully awakened as he heard the voice of his favorite blond.

"Sam…" He breathed happily. "You know I just had a dream about you?"

"You weren't doing anything naughty to me, were you?" Sam asked with a hint of laughter.

"And what if I was?" Otto asked lustfully.

"Then maybe we should live it out." Otto's face turned bright red at the response. He gulped. On the other end, Sam chuckled. "So I got your message."

"So what do you say?" Otto asked as his face went back to its normal color.

"Of course I'll go out with you. After all, it is going to be our first date."

"Cool. I'll pick you up around twelve, ok?"

"Sure. Til then, love you."

"Love you too." Otto said before hanging up.

Back at Sam's…

"Man, I love doing that to him." Blue Sam chuckled as he handed the phone to Red Sam. "Your turn. Don't forget to schedule yours a little later."

"I got it." Red Sam grumbled as he snatched the phone. He dialed the number to Tito's apartment.

At the second floor of the Shack…

::Brrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg!!!!!!::

Keoni, who was lying on the sofa, curled up with a pillow and moaned Sam's name. He was awakened by the sound of the phone. He cursed his luck.

"Man, I was so close." He grumbled as he grabbed the phone. "Aloha?" He yawned into the receiver.

"Good morning my delicious pineapple who I like to kiss." Keoni grinned at the voice of his boyfriend. "Good morning my love who I like to hug and cuddle with. Good morning my hot lover who I would like to—" Sam was interrupted by something that sounded like a slap.

"Hurry up already!" Keoni raised an eyebrow. Why was Sam talking to himself? His eyebrow went higher at the sound of fighting.

"Uhh… Sammy? Are you alright?"

"Why of course I'm fine! Why'd you ask?"

"Well, it sounded like you were fighting with yourself." Keoni heard Sam gulp.

"It was your imagination." He said bluntly.

"You sure?"

"Yep!" Sam said cheerfully.

"So did you get my message?"

"Yeah and I'd love to go out with you. Shall we say twelve thirty?"

"Sure. I'll pick you up, ok?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way. Until then, parting is such sweet sorrow." Keoni grinned again at the blond's antics. "Good bye, my sweet prince. Au revoir. Arrivederci. Adios. Aloha. And—" Another slap was heard.

"Wrap it up!"

"Alright, alright!" Keoni had a freaked out expression after hearing that. "Anyway, I love you."

"Love you too. Aloha." Keoni hung up. "What was that whole thing about?" He asked himself. A few minutes later, Tito emerged from his bedroom.

"Good morning, Keoni." He said as he went into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Uncle Tito." Keoni replied. He looked over the couch. "Uncle, can I ask you something?"

"Sure! What is it?" Tito asked.

"Does Sam have schizophrenia?" Tito raised an eyebrow.

"Not that I recall… Why?"

"Oh, no reason."

Two hours later, at Sam's house…

"Ok. I'm going to go see Twister." Normal Sam said as he got ready to leave. "Try not to screw up, ok?"

"Don't worry. We'll stay as far away from each other as our dates will allow." Blue Sam replied. He then added as an afterthought, "Try not to screw him." Normal Sam glared at him.

"Eeeee!!! I can't believe I'm going to go on a date with Keoni!" Red Sam cheered. Normal Sam turned to him with a perplexed look. He shook his head.

"Now I know I wasn't like that whenever I thought about Keoni…" He muttered before he left.

He walked the short distance to his lover's house, taking extreme care to not been seen by Otto. He dodged into the bushes every few seconds to avoid detection. He even jumped into an empty garbage can to avoid getting caught. He soon made it to Twister's front door and rung the bell. After a minute or so, the door was opened to reveal Lars, who screamed at the sight of the boy. He immediately bolted for the kitchen.

"O…k…" Sam said with both eyebrows raised as he walked inside. He soon found Twister sitting in front of the TV, watching cartoons. To be specific, he was watching an episode of Pokémon, which was just ending.

"Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

See what I mean? Sam snuck up behind his love and covered his eyes.

"Guess who?" Twister grinned and turned around, catching Sam's lips in a kiss.

"God, I missed you." He said as he embraced his boyfriend.

"It's only been a few hours. It couldn't have been that bad." Sam said with a chuckle.

"Oh yes it was. I missed the warmth of your body." Twister said with a whiny voice. Sam poked his cheek.

"See? What'd I tell you? You're too cute sometimes."

"Whatever." Twister stuck his tongue out. Sam giggled again.

"So what was Lars' deal?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean he took one look at me, screamed, and then ran away." Sam answered.

"Oh yeah. He's been a wreck since that clone of yours showed up with Otto yesterday."

"Ugh! Don't remind me." Sam sat on the sofa. Twister sat next to him and put an arm around his shoulder.

"What's the matter? I thought you'd be happy that they're together with your other two crushes."

"I don't know." Sam shrugged. "I mean, I probably should be happy that I, in a sense, got with everybody I love…"

"But…?"

"But, I'm afraid of what may happen if everybody finds out about this. You saw what happened to Lars."

"Yeah. It was pretty funny though." Twister chuckled. "I've never seen him more scared."

"Twist, I'm serious. What if some government agency finds out about this and thinks I'm an alien or something?" To that, Twister laughed hysterically.

"You've been watching way too many sci-fi movies!" He yelled when his laughter was manageable. He thought for a moment. "Or read too many comic books." He noticed Sam pouting. He hugged him tight.

"Be reasonable Sammy. You don't have anything to worry about. And if a government agency does come after you, they'd have to go through me." He pointed at himself.

"You mean it?" Sam looked into his boyfriend's eyes.

"You know I do." Twister replied before kissing him.

"Thanks for the pep talk." Sam said when they broke the kiss.

"Anytime." Twister then stood up with him. "Do you want some breakfast?" They started walking towards the kitchen.

"Sure, but I think I better stay out here."

"Why?" Twister raised an eyebrow. Sam only pointed inside the kitchen in response. The orange haired boy looked and saw an incredibly nervous Lars stirring lumps of sugar into a cup of coffee. He was shaking so much that some of the brownish substance would drip out of the cup and onto the table. His eyes were wide and bloodshot. Twister grimaced.

"I see what you mean." He left Sam and went into the kitchen.

Later…

After having a breakfast that consisted of a bowl of Cap'n Crunch, Sam and Twister were watching TV, content and happy in each other's arms. After a few minutes, Twister spoke.

"So what are your clones doing today?"

"Oh, they're supposed to go on their first dates with Otto and Keoni." Sam replied. He looked at his watch. It was currently eleven thirty-nine. "I just hope they don't mess up and do something to have them get caught." It was silent again as Twister sat thinking. His view shifted from Sam to the TV, then back to Sam. He grinned as he came up with an idea.

"Maybe we should go and check up on them to make sure they don't screw up." Sam raised an eyebrow at him.

"Are you suggesting that we go and keep an eye on them, possibly risking me getting caught in the process?" Twister shrugged.

"Sure, if you wanna look at it that way."

"And what other way is there to look at it?" Sam asked. Twister gave him an innocent look.

"It could be our first date." He smirked. Sam considered this for a moment.

"But we don't even know where they'll go."

"You're actually going to do it?" Twister asked, surprised at the blond's willingness.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but yeah." Sam replied. "Besides, you're right. Why should Otto, Keoni, and my clones have all the fun?" Twister grinned at his boyfriend's answer.

"Great. You won't regret this. And about not knowing where they'll go, we'll just hang around the amusement park. Surely one of the happy couples will go there." Sam looked at his watch again.

"If we're going to do this, we better go now. Otto's supposed to pick up the first clone any minute now." They turned off the TV and stood up.

After getting Twister's wallet out of his room, they proceeded to walk out of the house. They passed by the kitchen, where Lars was still stirring the same cup of coffee. Sam looked inside.

"Psst!" Lars looked up. His eyes widened at the sight of the blond. "Boo."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sam laughed as he ran out of the house and joined Twister, who gave him a stern look.

"Was that really necessary?"

"Yes. Yes it was." Sam replied with a grin. Twister only shook his head in response. "What?! He deserved it for all the years of torment he put us through!" Twister chuckled.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side." He grabbed Sam's hand. "Come on." Sam leaned against him as they walked down the hill.

Twenty minutes later…

Both of Sam's clones were lounging around the house when the doorbell rang. Both of them looked up and then at each other. They then looked at the clock, which read "Twelve-o-one."

"Must be Otto." Red Sam said.

"Well!? What are you still doing here!? Hide already!" Blue Sam scolded as he walked to the door. The other clone got up and walked into another room. The sapphire clone waited until his counterpart was out of sight before opening the door. A perplexed Otto was standing on the other side.

"Hiya!" The blond said. The couple embraced and kissed each other softly. "It was torture not seeing your beautiful face."

"Yeah…" Otto blushed at the compliment. "Why were you yelling at yourself?"

"Yelling at myself?" Sam scratched his head before realizing that he had just yelled at his counterpart. He gave the redhead a nervous grin. "Oh, I was yelling at the TV. I was watching a scary movie." Otto raised an eyebrow.

"You? A scary movie?"

"What? I'm capable of change, aren't I?" Sam crossed his arms. Otto chuckled and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Alright, alright. I give."

"That's better." Sam grinned before planting another kiss on Otto's lips. "So where are we going?"

"Well, I was thinking that we go to the arcade in the amusement park. They got a karaoke machine."

"Karaoke?" Sam shuddered. Otto noticed this and glared.

"Hey! I got a lot better since that No Worries incident!"

(A/N: I know he only sang backup in that song, but that counts for something, right?)

"Well then, let's go. I can't wait to hear your singing voice." Sam said as he grabbed Otto's hand and left the house.

"Same here."

"Wha???" Sam gave Otto a nervous look.

"Well you're singing too, of course." Otto replied, giving him a wink. Sam gulped as he walked.

'Oh crap! I can't sing to save my own life!'

About thirty minutes later…

"Man… Where's my lovely pineapple at?" Red Sam asked impatiently as he paced around the living room. "And another thing, why am I always the last one to leave?" Just then, the doorbell rang. With a grin, he snatched open the door. Keoni was standing on the other side with a grin of his own.

"I missed you so much!" Sam cried as he wrapped his arms around the other boy tightly. Keoni sputtered for air.

"Uhhh… Sammy? Do you think you could—" A crack was heard. "—LET ME GO!?!"

"Oops… Sorry." He separated from Keoni with a sheepish grin. Keoni caught his breath and gave Sam a loving glance. The blond wiped the grin as he returned the stare. In an instant, their lips met and tongues battled for dominance. Soon, they parted and looked into each other's eyes.

"You're so handsome…" Sam murmured as he nuzzled his head against Keoni's chest. The brunet chuckled as he lifted the blond's head.

"And you're gorgeous." He said before giving Sam a quick kiss. "So where are we going?"

"I was thinking we could cuddle up and watch a movie here." Sam replied, pulling Keoni towards the couch, but the taller boy resisted.

"We could do that later. I was thinking we go see Uncle Tito and tell him about our bond before we do anything else." Sam immediately put on a nervous expression.

"A-are you s-sure he'll be alright with us?"

"He won't have much of a choice. After all, I'm going to be here awhile. He'll have to live with it." Keoni replied. Sam still looked hesitant. The brunet gave him a pleading look. "Please Sammy? I don't want to hide this secret any longer. I want to shout from the rooftops that I love Sam Dullard! Please?"

'It's barely been twenty-four hours and already he wants to announce it to the world?' Sam thought with an eyebrow raised. He gulped and smiled at his boyfriend.

"Alright. We'll tell Tito." He squeezed Keoni's hand. Keoni grinned and pulled him into another kiss.

"Thank you. You won't regret this, Sammy!" He said as he ran out of the house, pulling Sam.

'That's what you think.' Sam thought with a groan. 'I'm so gonna get it.'

A few minutes later, at the Shack…

"I would like a cheeseburger." A customer ordered.

"Sure thing, bruddah. Your order will be ready shortly." Tito replied. He hummed a happy tune as he placed a meat patty on the grill.

Business has been pretty slow so far. He was grateful for the lack of customers. After all, he was the only one working there. As he flipped the patty, he wondered if he should just close the Shack and go surfing.

'Maybe I can find the kids and invite them along.' He grinned at his thoughts.

He placed the fully cooked patty on top of half a bun, put some cheese and a couple of pickles on it, and placed the top bun on. He placed the completed burger on a plate and rung the bell. The customer who ordered the burger walked up to the counter.

"That'll be a dollar fifty, cuz." He said. The customer handed him the money.

As Tito placed the cash into the register, he noticed Sam and Twister walk by. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of the blond leaning against the teen in the striped hat and smiling at him. He watched them for a moment before shrugging. He always had a strong suspicion that Twister may be gay. Sam, on the other hand… He shrugged again. He never had a clue.

'Oh well. As long as they're happy, I don't care.' He whistled an island beat as he grabbed a rag and wiped the counter. A couple of minutes passed by when he looked up and gasped. Otto was walking by, holding another guy's hand.

'That's new… I never suspected. I always thought he was going to get with that Clio girl. Raymundo will certainly be surprised when he and Reggie come back.' He shrugged and turned around. He quickly spun around and his eyes widened.

Otto was with Sam!?

'B-but how!? I just saw him with Twister not even five minutes ago!' He shook his head and held his forehead. 'The heat must be getting to me. That couldn't have been Sammy. You can't be in two places at once.'

He looked up again. Otto and his date were gone. Again, he shrugged and turned to check the inventory. A half hour went by before he heard two people sit on the stools by the counter.

"Hey Uncle Tito!" Tito grinned at the sound of his nephew's cheerful voice. He turned around.

"Aloha Keo—Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!" His eyes widened when he saw an arm wrapped around the younger brunet. It belonged to none other than Sam! Tito started sweating while pointing around wildly.

"B-but you were with—and then you—and now you're with…!" His eyes rolled back into his head. "Aloha…" He fainted backwards with a crash.

"Uncle Tito!" Keoni yelled as he and Sam ran around the counter.

At Dream Park…

"So what do we go on first?" Sam asked after he and Twister got a bunch of tickets.

"How about the roller coaster?" Twister suggested.

"I don't know…" Sam replied frightfully.

"Come on. It'll be fun. And besides, I'll hang on to you so that you don't fall off." The taller boy winked before walking off towards the roller coaster. The blond blushed as he followed. When they got on the roller coaster, they were in one of the middle cars. The operator for the ride locked them in a couple of harnesses.

"Boy, this brings back memories, huh?" Sam said.

"Yeah…" Twister replied. "I almost lost my hat forever on this ride."

"Sheesh! Don't remind me. You went crazy those couple of days."

"Hey!" Twister lightly punched Sam's shoulder. The smaller boy chuckled as he rubbed his arm.

"I got stuck on this coaster with Otto that one time we played hooky." Twister raised an eyebrow.

"I thought it was that one over there." He pointed at a smaller roller coaster that was at the end of the pier. It had a car shaped like a dinosaur.

"Oh yeah…" Sam scratched his head. Twister gave him a forlorn look.

"I also fell in love with you on this coaster." He said almost to himself. Sam's eyes watered.

"Really?" Twister nodded.

"It was three years ago when I realized my feelings for you while going at a hundred miles per hour." Sam gave a light chuckle at the response. If it wasn't for the car's restraints, he would've hugged his boyfriend. Instead, he held the other boy's hand and rubbed it with his thumb. They both blushed as they grinned at each other.

Just then, the roller coaster started moving. Both boys faced the track ahead of them as the ride sped along a straightaway before climbing up a hill. As the riders nervously awaited the drop, Sam faced Twister with a somewhat terrified expression. The Mexican boy noticed the look and returned it with an encouraging one. Sam smiled when he felt his hand getting squeezed.

The roller coaster dipped and went down the hill at an amazing speed. The many riders screamed as the coaster made sharp turns. Sam squeezed Twister's hand tightly as the ride went up and down at a blinding speed. It felt like an eternity before the ride ended. Everybody was let off. Twister shook his hand to get blood flowing again as he and Sam walked.

"Sorry about that. You know how I get on roller coasters." Sam said sheepishly.

"It's alright. I forgot you had such a strong grip." Twister replied with a smile as he put his hand in his pocket. He put his other arm around the blond. "So where to next?"

"How about the arcade?"

"How about no?" Sam gave Twister a confused look. The taller boy pointed at the direction of the arcade. The blond turned just in time to see Otto and Blue Sam enter.

"Good point. How about the bumper cars?"

"Sure." Twister replied. The couple turned and walked towards the ride. On the way, Sam saw an ice cream cart. He blinked and shifted his view between the cart, Twister, and the bumper cars. He did this for a few seconds before he fell on the ground, laughing and holding his sides. Twister raised an eyebrow.

"Ummm… What's so funny?"

"It's just—HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!—I remember the time when—HAHAHA!!!—your cousin came over and then you—HAHAHA!!!—you went for a ride on the ice cream cart!!!!" Sam laughed hysterically. A crowd gathered around the couple as the blond continued laughing and rolling along the ground.

"And then—HAHAHA!!!—you bumped into one of the cars, got hit with pies, and flew into a box full of cotton candy! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Twister flushed with embarrassment as he remembered the fiasco with his younger cousin, Scottie. He glared and crossed his arms as his boyfriend continued laughing.

"It wasn't that funny." He grumbled. Sam kept it up. Twister cracked a smile. "Ok. Maybe it was a little funny." He chuckled. After Sam got up and caught his breath, the two boys continued on to the ride.

Meanwhile, at the arcade…

Otto and Blue Sam walked around the full arcade. Many kids and teens were playing shoot 'em ups, dancing games, and even a few racing games. Fighting games, pinball machines, and skeet ball machines were also being used among others.

"Man, it's a full house today, huh?" Sam asked.

"No kidding." Otto replied. They walked around a bit more before they passed a skiing simulation. The redhead stopped and looked at the game with a depressed look. Sam noticed this and stopped as well.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"I just remembered the time you had that asthma attack." Otto replied, blinking back tears at the memory. "You almost died. Me, Twist, and Reg did whatever it took to make sure you didn't get another one." Sam wrapped his arms around him.

"Otto, it's ok. I'm alive, aren't I? And besides, Mom got me that sports inhaler so that it won't happen again." Otto returned the hug and kissed his boyfriend, not caring about the stares they were probably getting. When they broke the kiss, he sobbed into the blond's chest.

"You're right." Otto sniffed as he wiped his eyes. "You're here right now and I'll never let you suffer another asthma attack. You have my word as your friend and lover." Sam grinned and grabbed his hand, squeezing firmly.

"That's all I need." He said before pulling the other boy along. "Now come on. I want to hear how much your singing has improved." Otto chuckled, the unpleasant memory far behind him.

"Alright, but you're singing too." He reminded with an evil grin. Sam cursed inwardly. He forgot that part.

They finally got to a corner at the end of the arcade. A small stage was set up. There was a stool, a microphone, and a karaoke machine present. In front of the stage were a couple of chairs. The area was empty as they walked towards the stage.

"Why don't you go first?" Sam suggested as he sat in one of the chairs.

"Alright. Prepare to be amazed!" Otto said brashly as he stood on top of the stage and made adjustments to the machine. He walked up to the mic and took a deep breath as "My Sweet Passion" started playing.

::PAUSE!::

"For those who don't know, this is Amy Rose's theme in the games Sonic Adventure 1 & 2." I said. Izzy gave me a shocked look.

"You're making him sing that one!?" He then crossed his arms. "And I thought you couldn't sink any lower." I rolled my eyes.

"Izzy, bite me." I turned to the camera. "By the way, "#This text#" means someone's singing."

::UNPAUSE!::

Otto tapped his foot to the music before he started singing. Sam nodded his head to the beat.

"#I got out my map and chose a place I wanted to go to.#" The redhead started with a rough, but strangely airy voice. Sam cringed slightly before getting used to it.

"#Packed up my stuff, set out for adventure.#" Otto whispered into the mic.

"#I know that your lucky color is that cool shade of blue.#" He pointed at Sam's shirt. The blond blushed.

"#Won't mind painting myself blue for you.#" Otto whispered in a seductive tone. Sam's face turned bright red.

"#I guess I'm so easy to understand. I just do what ever that comes to me naturally.#"

"#I do understand the feelings of a persian cat.#"

"#But the Sphinx looked so cute I had to shave it.#"

"#He reminds me of parsley when he's standing there all alone.#"

"#Makes me wanna be his specialty.#" He whispered and gave Sam a wink. The blond felt like his nose was going to gush blood.

'Damn! And I thought I was more seductive. I want him so badly.' He thought with a gulp.

"#I guess I'm just a self-centered boy.#" Otto changed the last word in the line from 'girl' to 'boy'.

"#But there are nights that I have trouble going to sleep.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—So many things I want.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—I wanna be a wonderful boy.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—I'm not simple-minded.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—And I won't be a toy.#"

"#You probably need me just as much as I need you!#" As the piano solo started, Otto did a little dance. Sam was more than impressed by the dance number than the other boy's voice. Soon, he started singing again.

"#Are you okay? You seem to be a little bit tense.#" Otto stared at Sam intently. The blond flushed under the stare.

"#You don't have to worry 'bout a single thing.#" He whispered seductively again.

"#We are free to get whatever that we want to have.#"

"#We're also free to do whatever we want.#"

"#That's what we'll do. That's what we'll do.#"

"#We should live our lives the way we think it ought to be.#"

'Ain't it the truth.' Sam thought, giving Otto a grin. The auburn haired boy gave a toothy smile as he continued singing.

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—There's no where to hide.#" He shook his finger in a condoning manner.

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—Come on settle our lives.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—I'll always be there for you.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—In the best and worst times.#"

"#You can be my sweetest honey for eternity!#" Otto winked at Sam again.

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—So many things I want.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—I wanna be a wonderful boy.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—I'm not simple-minded.#"

"#Sweet sweet you're so sweet—And I won't be a toy.#"

"#I honestly need you just as much as you need me.#"

For the remainder of the song, Otto danced around, impressing Sam more. When the song ended, he bowed to the applause of the blond, as well as some spectators. The audience was mainly made up of girls who saw the earlier discussion between the two lovers. Otto jumped down and embraced Sam. The crowd cheered as they gave each other a quick kiss.

"Otto… That was amazing." Sam said when their lips parted. "Your voice… Did you ever think about getting a record deal?" Otto blushed.

"Aw stop! Was I really that good?"

"Ohhhyeah! You were perfect!" They leaned in for another kiss.

"Glad you liked it. Now it's your turn." Sam gulped as Otto pushed him towards the stage.

"C-can we talk about this?" He asked nervously.

"Nonsense! You'll do fine!" Otto said cheerfully. He leaned in close and whispered, "Besides, I have faith in you." He kissed Sam's ear. The blond shivered in delight. This went unnoticed by the girls, who again cheered. Full of encouragement, Sam stood on stage and picked out a song. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply as "Believe in Myself" started playing.

(A/N: This is the Sonic Adventure 2 version of Tails' theme.)

A cheerful song started as he stood nervously. He turned to Otto, who nodded. He smiled as he danced a little to get in the mood.

"#When all alone in my chair.#" He started with a light voice. "#I just go about wishing.#"

"#Wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted.#"

"#When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearning.#"

"#I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him.#" He winked at Otto. The crowd cheered, giving him a little more confidence.

"#But that's not something I can do so easily.#" He sang with more force. It sounded like he's done this for years.

"#This is not simply my way, my own style.#"

"#Gotta get a hold of my life!#" He danced a bit.

"#I wanna fly high.#"

"#So I can reach the highest of all the heavens!#"

"#Somebody will be,#" Sam took a pause before looking directing at Otto.

"#Waiting for me, so I have got to fly higher!#" He swayed his body a bit.

"#When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreaming.#"

"#I see myself there, having the same adventure.#"

"#If I just follow you, I will never see the light.#"

"#Now's the time to find my way through this life.#"

"#Trying so hard to be strong.#" He did a quick break dance move, impressing both the crowd and Otto, who blushed.

"#I gotta keep going!#"

"Whhhhhhoooooo…" The girls provided backup.

"#Everything is a brand new challenge for me.#"

"#And I will believe.#"

"Whhhhhhoooooo…" The girls sang again.

"#Believe in myself.#"

"#This is the only way for me.#"

As an instrumental started playing, Sam took a quick breather. He tapped his foot while blowing a kiss at Otto, who was impressed by the blond's voice. Soon, the song started up again.

"#Many friends help me out.#"

"#In return I help them.#"

"#Certain things I can do.#"

"#And there are things that only I can do.#"

"#No one's alone!#"

"#I wanna fly high.#"

"Whhhhhhoooooo…" The girls provided backup again.

"#So I can reach the highest of all the heavens.#"

"#Somebody will be,#"

"Whhhhhhoooooo…" The girls added.

"#Waiting for me, so I have got to fly higher!#" As the song ended, Sam jumped down from the stage and ran over to Otto, who embraced him. The crowd applauded the blond.

"Sammy, that was beautiful." Otto said. Sam's eyes watered.

"Y-you really mean it?" Otto nodded.

"You have a great singing voice. Maybe you should be the one to consider getting a record deal." Sam chuckled at that. Otto grinned at him.

"What?" The blond asked.

"See? What'd I tell you? You did great and the crowd totally loved you, dude." The redhead pointed at the screaming girls. Sam blushed.

"You're right. Thanks a lot."

"Anytime." Otto replied before planting another kiss. The girls swooned at the scene.

Back at the Shack…

"Come on, Uncle Tito. Wake up." Keoni said desperately as he shook Tito in an attempt to wake him up. "Ugh! It's no use. He's out cold." He sighed before turning to Red Sam. "Why did he faint when he saw you?"

"I have no clue." Sam replied with a shrug. "You think it might've been the shock of seeing us together?"

"Don't be silly. He'll be alright with us." Keoni said before putting on a thinking pose. "Still though, what was it he was yelling about before he fainted?" Sam shrugged again.

"I don't know, but we should probably close the Shack and try to help him upstairs."

"Good idea." Keoni agreed as he and Sam walked to the exits.

Lucky for them, the place was empty before Tito fainted. They didn't have to worry about tossing out any customers. They pulled down the metal shutters and locked them into place. They walked back to the counter and tried to think of a way to get the heavy man upstairs.

"Hmmmmm… I got it!" Sam cheered.

---------------------------

"Ready Keoni?" Sam asked. He was at the top of the stairs, holding a rope. The rope was tied to a rather complex-looking pulley system. It was also tied around Tito's waist. At the bottom of the stairs was Keoni, who was struggling to hold him up.

"Ugh! Ready!" The brunet grunted. Sam tugged on the rope. Tito moved slowly up the stairs. Keoni pushed him along while Sam pulled. Both teens grunted as they kept it up. Tito snored as they pushed/pulled him halfway up the stairs.

"I think it's working!" Keoni said as he struggled with the man.

"Yeah! We're almost there!" Sam agreed as he kept pulling. Tito was at the second to last step when suddenly, the rope snapped. Both Sam and Keoni gasped.

"I got him!" The blond reached both hands out and grabbed Tito. Without the rope to hold him up, Keoni was having a tough time keeping his uncle from falling. Sweat beaded down Sam's face and into his hands. Tito started moving backwards.

"Oh no! I'm slipping!" The blond yelled as he struggled to hang on.

"Don't let go, brah!" Keoni yelled back. He could feel Tito getting heavier and heavier to hold up. Sam tried to hang on for as long as possible, but it was no use. With a whimper, he let Tito go.

"Run Keoni!" He yelled. Keoni's eyes widened after hearing that. He gave one final push before turning and running down the stairs. Tito fell back and rolled down the stairs after the younger brunet. Keoni reached the bottom of the stairs and quickly looked for a place to run to. Before he could get out the way, Tito crashed into him. It didn't stop there though as they kept rolling.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

::CLANG!::

The people walking by the Shack jumped back as a human-shaped imprint made itself known.

---------------------------

"I hope this works." Keoni said. His forehead was bandaged up. He also had a black eye. Plus, the brunet was sure one or two of his ribs were cracked.

"Don't worry. This should work perfectly." Sam reassured.

This time, a huge plank was set up in the middle of the stairs. The boys had placed Tito on Keoni's skateboard. The sleeping Hawaiian mumbled something incoherent as the teens pushed him towards the stairs.

"Ready?" Keoni asked. Sam nodded.

"Ready!"

With a grunt, they both pushed Tito up the plank. They both grinned as they went up the stairs. It seemed that they were going to succeed in their self-appointed mission.

Unfortunately, fate had other ideas.

As they got halfway up the stairs, Keoni and Sam heard a low snap. They shrugged it off and continued pushing. A few seconds later, they heard a louder snap. The two boys looked at each other.

"You don't think…?" Keoni asked. Sam gulped as they looked down.

The skateboard snapped in two!

"Oh crap!" Sam yelled as he jumped out of the way. Like last time, Keoni ran down the stairs and Tito followed, reenacting a scene from Indiana Jones (I forget which one). Keoni reached the shutters and turned towards his uncle, who was rolling towards him. His pupils shrunk to the size of pebbles.

"Oh no…"

::CLANG!::

Another body print was added to the one from earlier.

Inside, Tito rolled backwards as Keoni fell forwards.

"Are you alright!?" Sam yelled as he ran to his boyfriend. Keoni growled as he got up and glared at his unconscious uncle.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" He roared as he single-handedly rolled Tito up the plank at near light speed. Sam gaped at the scene.

"Damn, what a man!" He yelled before joining Keoni upstairs. When he got up there, he helped his lover push Tito into the apartment and onto the couch. They panted as they sat on the nearby loveseat.

"Thank goodness that's over!" Keoni shouted as he wrapped his arms around Sam. The blond kissed his cheek and rubbed his head.

"Yeah. I wonder how long he'll be out for." Just then, Tito groaned and opened his eyes.

"Oh bruddah… Where am I? What happened?" Keoni's eyes widened as his mouth hit the floor.

"NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tito turned towards his screaming nephew. His eyes widened when he saw Sam.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Sam raised his eyebrow at the two screaming Hawaiians and shrugged.

"When in Rome…" He took a deep breath. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Later that evening…

After a fun-filled day of chills and spills, Normal Sam and Twister walked up the stairs to the latter's house. They stared into each other's eyes as they stood before the door.

"Well, I guess this is good night." Sam said.

"Yeah. I had a great time." Twister replied.

"Glad to hear. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course. See ya tomorrow." Twister answered before giving Sam a passionate kiss. After they parted and gave each other one last kiss on the cheek, the taller boy entered the house and looked back. "I love you."

"I love you too." Sam replied as he walked down the stairs, waving at him in the process. He sighed lovingly as he entered his house.

A few minutes later, Blue Sam walked Otto to the Rocket household. They were both laughing.

"Dude that was a blast!" Otto yelled.

"Yeah!" Sam agreed before calming down. "But don't you think it was weird that those girls were stalking us the whole time?"

"A little, but at least now we know people are cool with our relationship." Otto replied before taking out his keys and unlocking the door. "Do you want to come in?"

"Sure." Sam grinned as he followed Otto inside.

As soon as the door closed, both boys smashed the lips against each other. As they tasted the inside of each other's mouth, they each snaked their arms around each other. They rubbed their hands all over each other, feeling just about every inch of the other. They soon separated for air.

"Otto…" Sam panted. "Ever since you sang that song this afternoon, I've never wanted you more badly." They gave each other another, quicker, lust-filled kiss.

"Sammy, are you saying…?" Otto started. Sam nodded before roughly connecting their lips again. "Are you sure about this?"

"I've never been more sure of anything." The blond replied before they kissed again.

As they kept up the kiss, they slowly stumbled around the living room. They quickly separated to rid themselves of their shirts, which were clinging to them from the sweat. Their skin connected again as they slowly went up the stairs, discarding more clothes along the way. Otto reached down and nearly ripped Sam's shorts off as he unbuttoned them. They broke the kiss so that the redhead could relieve the other boy of the offending shorts. Sam took the moment to remove Otto's shorts as well.

When they were in their boxers, the removed their shoes before going back to kissing. Sam reached into the other's underwear and stroked him, enticing moans. By the time they reached the door, the boxers came off and they both jumped on the bed, continuing their love making. Sam was on the bottom as Otto entered him and thrust repeatedly. The blond moaned as the other boy moved faster and faster until…

"Ugh! OTTO!!!" Sam screamed as he felt a warm liquid inside him and on his stomach. Otto panted as he laid on top of his lover, giving him small kisses. They held each other in their arms.

"Sam… That was awesome." Otto breathed.

"No kidding." Sam replied, nibbling on his ear. Otto moaned as he felt the moistness of the blond's tongue.

Soon, they kissed again before the taller boy moved down to his neck and lightly sucked on it. Sam groaned in pleasure as he squeezed the other boy's butt. It didn't take the redhead long before he licked down Sam's chest to his navel. He then pulled away and looked at the other's already hardened manhood. He looked up to see Sam nodding, pleading for him to continue with his eyes.

Sam buckled his legs as he felt the warmth of Otto's mouth. The redhead went up and down for what seemed like an eternity to the blond before he exploded again. Otto swallowed it all before removing his head and kissing Sam. The taller boy sighed as he laid back on the bed exhausted. The sigh turned into a moan as Sam grabbed his cock and stroked it until he came.

"Oh God, Sammy…" Otto panted as he faced his lover. "That was…perfect." He embraced him.

"I love you, Otto…" Sam said before they kissed. Soon, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Elsewhere…

Red Sam and Keoni were walking hand in hand along a secluded beach that was far from town. The brunet had a backpack on.

"Man, what a night." The blond sighed. "Between trying to get Tito up there and all the screaming, it's a miracle I don't have a splitting headache."

"Yeah, I understand how you feel." Keoni said. He smiled at Sam. "At least Tito accepts our relationship."

"Well, that's one good thing that occurred today."

"I'm sorry our date turned out to be a flop." Keoni said sadly. Sam smiled at him.

"It's alright! It was kinda fun actually." Keoni grinned before kissing the blond. After they separated, they reached an area of the beach that had some logs placed around the remains of a fire. The brunet grinned to himself before turning to Sam.

"How about we chill out here?"

"Here?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow. Keoni nodded.

"I just need to get something." He said as he moved towards the nearby trees. "Try to get a fire going, ok brah?"

"Sure…" Sam replied hesitantly.

'I wonder what was that about.' He shrugged before looking around for some firewood.

Meanwhile, Keoni pulled a mini boom box out of the backpack, as well as something else. He grinned as he watched Sam gather firewood.

'This is going to be good.' He thought as he got ready.

---------------------------

About twenty minutes later, Sam got enough sticks for the fire. He piled some sticks into the middle of the area and rubbed two sticks together. After a few failed attempts, he finally created enough friction to spark a flame.

"It took long enough." The blond said before he bent down towards the flame and blew on it to fan the fire. Not even a minute passed before the fire spread out and lit up the area. Sam grinned at his accomplishment as he leaned against a log and poked the fire with a stick.

"I wonder where Keoni is." He said to himself. "I hope he's not in any trouble." He again poked the fire and sighed, looking up at the moon. Like last night, it was full and glowing brightly.

Suddenly, Sam heard music playing. It sounded like something you'd hear at a luau. He looked ahead of himself as he heard the bushes shaking. Keoni came out of the bushes, hula dancing. Sam's eyes widened at the boy. The brunet was wearing nothing but his necklace and a grass skirt. Despite the damage he suffered earlier, he looked breathtakingly gorgeous.

Sam's face flared up as Keoni continued dancing. He twirled around, giving Sam a full view of his butt. The blond felt something stirring as the taller boy danced by the glow of the fire, giving him a mysterious look. Sam's mouth hung open as Keoni swayed his hips seductively. Soon, the song ended and the brunet let his skirt fall, revealing everything to Sam. The smaller boy's eyes were as wide as saucers while his mouth still hung dangerously close to the ground. It took some time before he found his voice.

"K-Keoni…" He stuttered.

"Yes…?" Keoni asked with a sultry voice. Sam pointed at him.

"Y-you're naked…" He said. Drool started to fall from his mouth. Keoni grinned at the reaction.

"Why yes. I'm quite aware of that." He said as if it wasn't a big deal. He started walking towards the blond, whose eyes were still wide.

"You're naked…"

"Sam, I've never loved anybody as much as you. You know that, right?" Keoni asked as he got ever closer.

"You're naked…"

"And I took careful consideration into what I'm about to do. What we're about to do." By now, the brunet was standing just inches from Sam. He bent down.

"You're beautiful…" Sam murmured as Keoni inched towards him.

"Shhhhh…" He whispered before claiming his lips. Sam's eyes were still wide for a few seconds before his brain reentered his body. He closed his eyes as he returned the kiss. As Keoni's tongue probed around his mouth, he nervously wrapped his arms around the taller boy's waist and rubbed his back. Keoni moaned in Sam's mouth as they kept up for as long as possible. They separated for air and panted as they stared into each other's eyes.

"K-Keoni?"

"Yes?"

"Take me."

That was all Keoni needed. He pushed Sam onto the sand and gave him another passionate kiss. Clothes flew as they made love under the light of the moon.

Post-chapter Conversation

Izzy and I gaped at the last few scenes in utter disbelief. We both had the same thing on our minds.

'I can't believe he/I just did that!!!'

Just then, something came over me. My face paled as I stumbled dizzily backwards.

"B-Boss…?" Izzy said in a slightly scared tone. My body felt numb as I knelt on the ground.

"Ugh… For some reason, I don't feel so good." I groaned, trying desperately to hang on to conciousness. "It's like all of my energy just flowed out of me…" I lay down on the cold floor.

"I need sleep…" The next thing I saw was darkness. I faintly heard my partner screaming my name, but it was no use…

Izzy kept trying to wake me up, but all methods failed. With a look of pure fright, he turned to the camera.

"Uhhh… Tune in next time, I guess…" He went back to shaking me.
