So sorry it took me so long to update! I've been really distracted lately w/ doctor visits and family problems. I do accept annonymous reviews!
Chapter 4
Ruby and Red turned toward their onlookers and raised their invisible eyebrows.
"What?" Red asked, and Violet and Purple shook their heads.
Red turned back to look at his new 'best friend' and they smirked at one another. Red mouthed a couple of words, out of the view of Violet and Purple. Ruby nodded, trying to supress a snicker.
"Now or later?" Ruby, suddenly, asked and Red thought for a moment.
"Later, I think. Be better, don't you think?" Red told the female and the red-clad female nodded.
"I'll be ready." Ruby said, giving him a thumbs up sign.
"Good." Red said and he turned to Purple. "Now, what were we here for?"
"Red, you really need to learn to pay attention." Purple replied, putting his hands on his hips again.
"Wha?" Red asked, looking kinda blank in the eye.
Purple slapped his forehead and Violet snickered. Ruby surveyed Red for a second and snapped her gloved fingers.
The three watched as Ruby ran into the kitchen and heard her rummaging around, frantically.
"Ruby, what are you doing?" Violet called, completely confused.
Ruby peeked out from behind the kitchen door and smiled. She came all the way out and seemed to be hiding something behind her back.
Red sniffed the air and started to salivate. He smelled a delectable treat he hadn't had in. . . oh. . . thirty minutes.
Ruby smirked and pulled out the remainder of the nachos Violet hadn't finished and Red took them greedily and started chowing down. Violet widened her eyes and looked at Ruby questioningly.
"He's suffering from snackage shortage!" Ruby said, happily. "I have that all the time!"
Purple just stared as his co-ruler finished stuffing nachos in his mouth and licked the cheese off his fingers. Violet just stared at her roommate and shook her head.
"Thank you, my crimson-eyed beauty. That was tasty." Red said, smiling as he finished licking away the cheese from his fingers and Ruby laughed.
"Isn't that 'crimson-eyed beauty' supposed to be you?" Ruby asked, smiling wildly.
"I guess you're right!" Red said, laughing himself.
"This is getting scary." Purple said, getting closer to Violet and she nodded, backing away from her friend.
"I totally agree with you, Sir." Violet said and the two backed into the wall.
"It's like being stuck on an exploding head planet and just waiting for the time when your own head is gonna blow!" Purple exclaimed and Violet looked at him and nodded as he turned to her.
"It's pure horror watching those two!" Violet said, looking worried.
"We should probably walk away, slowly, and maybe they won't notice us." Purple whispered and Violet nodded.
The two amethyst-clad Irkens started tip-toeing toward the door. Ruby and Red turned to look at them and turned to each other again, shrugging their shoulders.
"What's your problems?" Ruby asked and the two stopped dead in their tracks.
"W-we have to. . .uh. . ." Violet started, but couldn't come up with anything.
"We were going to the break room so I can talk to her in private without you two shooting us with lasers." Purple said and Red and Ruby snickered.
"Fine, then." Ruby said and she turned to Red.
"Have a nice time, Pur." Red replied, not really paying attention to his co-ruler, anymore.
Purple and Violet looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. The two continued out the door and Ruby and Red looked to one another again.
"What time do you think we should start?" Red asked and Ruby thought for a minute.
"Around 6:00 I guess. Vi gets a little testy if someone tries to take her out before then." Ruby said and Red nodded, looking thoughtful.
"Yeah, Pur gets the same way if someone takes away his snacks." Red told the female, smilling evilly and winking.
"Guess we should start to prepare for the thing, then?" Ruby asked and Red smiled.
"Of course we should, my new best friend." Red said and the two cracked up into hysterical laughter.
