For those who actually reads this story, I am sorry it took so long, I have been very lazy lately. So Forgive me.
Once the trio arrived to Spike's apartment, Jake immediately jumped on Spike's bed hogging up the whole thing.
"So what now?" Jake asked bored as he rested his head on Spike's pillow. "Hey monkey boy go get us some drinks." He said, obviously giving the name to Spike since he was the host but Vincent couldn't help but flinched a bit, scared that Jake had found out who he really was. Being the monkey who didn't know much about the teenagers Vincent wouldn't have known that teasing friends was a simple way a bonding.
"Yeah yeah Master. What ever you say." Spike mumbled and walked off into his kitchen. Jake grinned and looked at Vincent who was sitting in one of the chairs.
"Soo, Vincent, where did you move from?" The boy haired boy asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Uhh well, hmm..." Vincent sat there thoughtfully for a bit before speaking up again. "Well, just don't tell anyone I told you this. I'm in a witness protection program, I'm not allowed to tell where I used to live. Shh, it must be kept a secret though got it?" he said in a hush-hush voice. Jake nodded slowly.
"Oh... okay." He said quietly.
Silence...
"HEY SPIKE GUESS WHAT!! VINCENT IT FROM A PROTECTION PROGRAM!!" Jake yelled from the room to the kitchen. Vincent glared at him and rolled his eyes.
"That's for keeping it a secret, bud." He sighed. Spike came out of the kitchen with three cans of soda. He looked over at the punk on his bed.
"Can you say that again Jake I don't think they heard you in CHINA!" he said throwing a can at Jake, who missed catching the beverage and only to have it hit his head. Spike kindly handed another can to Vincent before he sat on the ground.
"So Vincent, since your not allowed to speak much about you past, what can you tell us about yourself?" Spike asked as he sat on the floor, opening the can of soda. Jake added his two cents in.
"Hey instead of that tell us what the crime was you witnessed. Was it a murder? Huh huh? Tell tell!!" He said. Spike threw the closest object at Jake, which was an unused comb.
"Shut up Jake!!" Spike yelled at him and turned at Vincent, smiling slightly.
Jake glared at Spike before throwing the pillow at him. This started up a fight. Spike reached from another object that was now his opened can of soda and threw that at Jake. He caught the can before he could hit him again but only to have the soda dumped in his lap. Vincent snickered and Spike stood up looking at Jake.
"Well that's what you get for being so stupid not get up let me change the sheets on the bed." He said and pushed Jake off the bed and tore off the soda stained sheets off the bed and threw them into the corner of the room that was filled with soon to be washed laundry.
"Your worried about your sheets?! What about my pants, man! I aint stayin' in wet pants!" Jake yelled at Spike. Spike looked over at Jake and sighed.
"Then you should have learned to stop wetting the bed at night." He teased and got a hard knock on the head.
"Funny funny." Jake said and walked over to Spike's dresser and opened up the middle cabinet. "Then I'm gonna steal a pair of your pants while mine go dry." He said and pulled out a pair of pants. An expression of amusement crossed Jake's face as he pulled out a small photo.
"Hey Spike you remember this picture?" Jake asked as he turned around and shower Spike the picture of he found. It was when Spike was years younger, around the age of 6, he was holding the young albino money recently named Specter in his arms. Spike smiled at the sight of the picture and took it from Jake.
"Hehe Yeah, I remember this. It was when Specter was only a few months old." Spike said and showed it to Vincent who was obviously wanting to see the picture. "Vincent have you heard of the famous monkey Specter yet since you've moved here?" Spike asked and only received a lying shake of Vincent's head.
"Oh you haven't? Well he's this really smart monkey who tried to control the world and he put me under his spell thingie and I was his evil minion and-" Jake cut in adding his own bizarre story that didn't even come close to matching the true story. Spike sighed and lened in close so only Vincent could hear him even though Jake was too busy talking to himself to overhear anything.
"Don't believe him, he's just upset cuz he didn't get to journey along with me to catch the monkeys but here's how it went. Specter, a confused albino monkey, got a hold of the Professor's, a guy I used to live with, invention and he gained the intelligence of a human being and planed to have ape world domination. So he made more of these helmets and gave them to all the other monkey's in Monkey Island, we have to take you there one day, and he stole the Professor's time machine and traveled him and his monkeys to different times of the world and he got a hold of Jake and possessed him and what not. But I had to go off and capture him and the monkeys to save the world." Spike explained. Vincent nodded solemnly.
"And what happened to Specter then?" He asked, he obviously knew what happened but he wanted to seem interested.
Jake was still talking to himself in the background.
"Well we put him back into Monkey Island and he was good for a while then my cousin Jimmy was being a moron and sent some helmets to Monkey Island and Specter got a hold of one and Jimmy had to do the same thing I did. Now I don't know what the little monkey's up too." He sighed. Vincent sat in thought for a moment.
"And what do you think of Specter now? Do you hate him like Jake seems to do?" He asked, Spike only laughed and shook his head.
"Oh I don't. I understand Specter's intentions. He didn't like the way he was being treated in Monkey Island and he was just confused and wanted revenge. As weird as it might seem I do like that monkey a lot though." He said and glanced down at the picture.
"Has no one been listening to me this whole time?!" Jake yelled and pounced on Spike whom both fell to the floor. Vincent jumped a bit from the sudden attack and looked down at the two. The picture of long ago slowly floated down to the ground; the albino boy caught the picture and looked at it thoughtfully as the two others fought on the ground. –I...I remember this. He was the kindest human I have ever met.- he thought to himself a faint blush crossing his face. A hand reached up and grabbed Specters shirt pulling him down to the ground laying next to Spike.
"It's nice seeing you down here too pal." Spike teased before Jake loomed over them, his hands on either sides of their faces.
"Now since you both didn't listen to me, you two will be severely punished." He said in a dark voice. Vincent looked up at him in slight fright not knowing what to do, Spike seemed to have a plan.
"Instead of that how about tomorrow we take a vacation to the beach?" Spike suggested. Jake pondered the thought and grinned.
"That sounds better." The punk said and got off of the two boys letting them sit up. Vincent nodded.
"Yeah, that sounds nice." Vincent said.
"Okay then it's settled tomorrow we are going to the beach. We can sleep over my place tonight and head there tomorrow morning, which means you two have to go home and pack." Spike said. Jake got up off the floor and stretched.
"'Kay then. Ill be back soon." He said and walked out of the apartment, once the door closed Vincent turned to Spike.
"Hey I have a favor to ask." He asked quietly, embarrassed.
"Yeah sure bud. Whatchu need?" Spike said friendly as he stood up and pulled a suitcase from under his bed and began rummaging through his clothes.
"Um, I don't have any of my own things to bring. You know, like bathing suits and clothes I mean..." he said looked at the ground.
"Ooh, Okay then you can just borrow some of my I have more clothes than I need." Spike said as he continued to pack up some clothes for him and Vincent.
"A-are you sure? I don't want to be a bother." Vincent stuttering. Spike looked over at him and flashed him a grin as he closed the suitcase.
"I'm sure don't worry." Spike reassured and put the suitcase by the door. "Now all we have to do is wait for Jake to get back." He said.
About half an hour passed before a knock came upon Spike's door. The monkey catcher got up and answered it with a half hearted glare.
"What too you so long?" He asked.
""Well I couldn't figger out what I wanted to bring." Jake said as he entered the apartment and placed his suitcase next to Spike. He looked at Vincent.
"Where's your stuff?" Jake asked, Vincent just shrugged.
"I didn't have any so Spike let me borrow some of his clothes." He explained. Jake nodded and looked at Spike.
"Well I'm gonna get go sleep. Sooner I sleep the quicker I get to go to the beach!" Jake exclaimed and jumped on the bed, almost knocking Vincent, who was sitting on the edge, off.
Spike sighed and looked at Vincent, he pulled some blankets out of the closet and set one of the floor. "We can just sleep on the floor. Is that okay with you?" He asked. Vincent just nodded silently as he went to sit on the floor. Spike grinned as he playfully threw a pillow at Vincent's face. Both of the boys laughed slightly.
Spike yawned as he placed his pillow down on the ground and laid down upon the fluffy thing and covered himself up in on of the blankets. Vincent, with much distance away from Spike, laid down also and covered up, excited as he fell asleep about the day he was to have tomorrow.
