Maybe…
Chapter 15
Liz glared at Johnny for a while before Robert cleared his throat lightly. "Oh," she said. "You probably want to be let inside."
"That would be appreciated. It is rather cold out here." He answered.
Liz moved away from the door and let them inside, closing it behind them. Marisa walked down the stairs angrily, yet strode over to Robert with a certain grace. Robert, who had been expecting a sign of appreciation of some sort, like a hug, was rather surprised when she slapped him and then proceeded to cross her arms over her chest and 'Hmph'.
"I wasn't expecting that." He said, rubbing his, now sore, cheek.
"And I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow." Marisa said, warning growing in her tone.
"Sorry, but you said it was urgent."
"Oh yeah..." Marisa said remembering the letter distinctivly. Even the ugly little doodles she erased. "But you still should deserved to be slapped. Like I'd really hug you." she snapped.
"Of course. What was I thinking?" Robert said as he embraced Marisa, who was trying to get away. And failing. "I have to hug you."
Marisa fought back a light blush, and failed, but on her tan skin you couldn't see it. "Enough Robert." Robert released her at the words. "Oh! Hi Sanguinex!" she walked over to Sanguinex and gave him a light peck on the cheek. "And how are you?" she asked Johnny.
Johnny gave her a strange smirk and his eyes sparkled. "I'll take it that means, 'My wall covered with photos of Liz is finally complete.' Insert maniacal laughing here." Marisa said.
To this statement, Liz blushed and muttered something then walked upstairs, Johnny following closely behind.
Sanguiex stared at Marisa expectingly, she was trying her best to ingnore the look by talking to Robert. "How's everyone's love life?" he finally asked. Marisa turned around and gave him her most believable 'I have no idea what you are talking about' look.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked seriously.
"This house...or mansion...has the distinct smell of a certain emotion I am pretty sure you are quite on common ground with." he said, making her even more confused.
"What?" She and Robert asked.
"It smells like love in here." he stated bluntly.
"A-and how would you know?" she asked, once again fighting back a blush.
"That's my own little secret." Sanguinex said, smiling. "Would you like me to help with anything around here?"
"That's why I asked you to come." Marisa said. "He a real arse." she smirked. As did he, as if they knew the same thing. "But I don't need you to do much."

Darren, Steve and Riquo stared at the open invitation lying on the table.
"Are they really the type to throw a Christmas party?" Steve asked.
"Are they really the type," Riquo started.
"To throw a party at all?" Darren finished for him. "Michi's probably making them do it."
Riquo shook his head, silver hair swaying ever so slightly. "But it says right here, it's a surprise for Michi. So it must be the Demolition Boys."
"Yeah, after all, Tala is her boyfriend. So he's probably forcing them to do it." Steve said.
He and Darren looked to Riquo, who was reading over the invitation very intently. Just because they were close friends with the Black Plague doesn't mean they have to go, right? Riquo was going to force them to go. They sighed and looked at each other. Both thinking the same thing.
'Damn.'

Bryan woke up at 4:30 in the fucking morning. "Damn, why do I always wake up so early?" he asked himself. Bryan did his mornig ritual, brush teeth, practice glare in mirror, stare at random things using glare that had earlier been practiced, and decided he wanted to bug Marisa. She wasn't there. He rose an eyebrow to this, but ignored it in the end. As he exited his room, he came across a spare one and saw Liz in it, playing keyboard. Johnny watching intently. 'Why the hell is Johnathan McGregor here?' he questioned himself. 'How the hell do I know his name?' he asked even more confused than before.
"Oh, who cares." he said, making his way downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Who are these people?" he asked as he saw Robert and Sanguinex, not expecting to get an answer.
"Close friends." came the voice of Marisa, who was currently rumaging through a cupboard. She finally got fed up with rumaging, and slammed the cupboard shut screaming, "Dammit I'm hungry!"
Everyone looked at her. "Ok..."
"What are you looking at?" she snapped.
"Nothing." said Robert and Sanguinex. Bryan just gave her the glare he had practiced earlier.
"Hm, you've been practicing your glare I see." Marisa said. Bryan just continued to glare. "I'm going upstairs." he said.
"Good for you!" Marisa shouted after him.
"You two seem like the best of chums." Robert said.
"He just looks like he's pining for a laugh." Sanguinex added dryly.
"Yeah, you're telling me." Marisa said. "I'm going to go challenge him."
"You do that, see how far it gets you in life." Robert stated.
&&&&&&&&&
Tala woke up to Marisa screaming for someone to open the door. So apparently, someone was at the door. He ignored it, thinking that Marisa had it taken care of. But of course a few...let's say minutes...later, he heard Bryan storm out of his room and down the stairs, so he thought this would be his cue to wake up. After doing his morning ritual, brushing teeth, styling hair to look like satan, putting on white disco suit. He left the room, but not before sitting next to the sleeping Michelle's form and giving her a sweet kiss and whispering, 'Love you'. That's kinda too sweet.
On his way out, he ran into Marisa. "Hey," he said.
"What?" Marisa asked.
"Oh, I can't just say 'hey' to you?" he asked.
"No, you can't." She stated. "You have to want something."
"Well, actually. I do want some updates on that music." he admitted.
Marisa rolled her eyes and sighed. "You know, the Atlantians saw their down fall before it happened. But did nothing to stop it." she said. "So they let their colony sink, though they had prepared for it and it took quite a while for it to gey under there."
Tala gave her that look that says 'Ok, now I know you're psycho'.
Marisa sighed again. "Rome wasn't built in a day. Give us some time! We have to memorize this stuff!"
Tala nodded in understanding. "Ok, I get it." He started to walk away when Marisa stopped him.
"Hey," she said. "Give my guests some food." then she walked off in the direction of Bryan's room.
&&&&&&&&&
Bryan sat on his bed. Doing nothing but staring at the hammock Marisa slept in. Remembering the time, not too long ago of course, that she fell out of it. Every morning, Bryan had noticed, Marisa rolls out of her hammock and on to a couch, placed conveniently underneath of it. But surprisingly, one time Marisa missed.
:Corny Flashback:
It was about 6 in the morning. About, which means like 5:47. Doesn't that suck?
Yeah, well, anyhow...A normal morning. Bryan had been sleeping when he heard a loud -THWUMP-. You can prpbably guess what it was. Or who at least.
Marisa sat up on the floor, Bryan positioned himself in a sitting position on his bed. Her eyes were spiraling, uncharacteristic of her, and she looked at him blankly and said, "Why did the Jell-O push me off my bed?"
:END of Corny Flashback:
The sound of somebody forcing the door open took Bryan out of his thoughts. In front of him stood Marisa. Glaring at him with a ferocity and some...wonder. Well she was probably wondering was why Bryan Kuznestov was daydreaming. But I digress,
"What do you want?" he asked her with annoyance in his voice.
"A battle." she stated simply.
"Why so you can lose and go crying to your team?" he wondered sarcastically.
She smirked and moved herself over to her guitar case where she reached into a hidden pocket, big enough to fit, "We'll see who does the crying when I try you out with one of these." she tossed him a sword.
Bryan rose an eyebrow. "You really expect me to beybattle you and sword fight you?" he questioned.
Marisa snickered. "I never said anything about a beybattle."
