Max: Err... Lil Bre isn't here right now...

Lee: She's locked in her room playing with her new plushies.

Kai: That's kinda embrassing -__-'

Mariah:... I know -__-'

Mark: At least you're not getting burnt, nailed, or stepped on!

Kai: Get outta here, you're not important!

Mark: Fine. I'm not on until chapter 27 anyways. ::leaves::

Rei: Alright then.... Mariah, do you wanna do the disclaimer?

Mariah: Sure. Lil Bre doesn't own anything but her fish, her cat, and her ROTC uniform.

::from upstairs:: THAT CLASS ROCKS YA KNOW!!!

Chapter 25- Age 16 I: Who gonna get a car?

Tala lazily walked up the flight of stairs and down the hall to his younger brother's room. He opened the door and said, "Hey Kai, Mom needs us downstairs for a minute." He heard no response. He looked up and saw that Kai was on his bed playing his quitar, quietly. He had headphones on that were connected to the guitar and a small antennae on it with a micophone, too. "Hey Kai, are you listening to me?" Tala asked again.

No response.

"KAI! MOM WANTS US DOWNSTAIRS!!" Tala yelled right next to him. But Kai kept on playing his guitar. Tala got some angry marks on his head so he left the room leaving the door wide open. A few seconds later, the red-head ran back into the room at full speed at lunged at the blue-haired boy and knocked him off his bed and on his back.

"GEEZ TALA WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" Kai yelled trying to get Tala off of him.

Rei: ::through headphones:: Yo Kai, what happened?

Max: Yea, you was a bit off key on those last few notes.

Kai: I was thrown off by Tala da Terrible... ::WHACK:: OW!!! Hey those are mine give it back!!!

Tala: Hey, how does this thing work?

Tyson: Kenny made them for us to practice our music on after dark.

Max: We was almost finished but Kai messed it up and stuff.

Tyson: It was going good too...

Tala: Well finish tomorrow, alright?

Rei: Sure I'm tired anyways bye.

After everyone turned off their headphone thingamabob, Tala dragged Kai down the stairs and on the couch where their mom was waiting.

"What took you guys so long to get downstairs?" she demanded. Tala pointed to Kai and Kai gave Tala a very dirty look. "Well, all I wanted to tell is that you're both getting old enough to drive a car. When do you take your driver's test?" she asked.

"Um, Saturday, why?" Kai asked confused.

"Well, I was looking through my finances and realized that I can afford to buy one of you a car."

"ONLY ONE OF US?!?!?" Kai and Tala yelled in a unsion.

"Yes and the only way to figure out which one of you get the car is whoever gets their license first will get the car," Kathy, the mom, replied.

"For real?!" the two yelled wide-eyed.

"Yes for real. Now go to bed, see you tomorrow." After Kathy said those words, Kai and Tala zoomed to their rooms, slammed the doors, and turned off their lights. "Hmm... I've never seen those two excited to go to bed before..."

~*~The Next Day~*~

Gary was inside his person gym punching a huge punching bag when he heard a knock on his door. When he slided his door open, he saw Kai in his face. "Whatcha want Kai?"

"Gary, buddy, I need a small favor from ya," Kai said walking into the gym.

"Why should I do ya the favor?" Gary asked starting to do push-ups.

"I'll give you 20 dollars." Gary just looked at the blue-haired boy for a few minutes.

"Sit on my back," Gary said stopping his push-ups.

"Errr... how come?"

"The more weight on my back the better." Kai shrugged and sat down on Gary's back Indian style as he started to do more push-ups. "What is your favor?"

"I'm in a competition against Tala to get a car first."

"Where do I come in?" Gary asked confused.

"Well, I want you to hide on the roof of the school. I'm gonna lead Tala onto the roof to look down at something. Then I want to you run behind him, unexpectedly, and PUSH HIM OFF THE ROOF!!!" Kai started to laugh manically while Gary started to sweatdrop. Without warning, Gary stood up and made Kai fall off his back. "ACK!!"

"You want me to push Tala off of a 4 story building?" the bulky teen looked down at Kai.

"Um... yes?" he said standing up.

"Um... I gotta meet Emily at the cafe in about 20 minutes," Gary said walking to the door of his gym, "I think you should try your best at the competition thing instead of hiring me to push him off the school. Lock the door when you leave, okay. See ya at Driver's Ed Test tomorrow." He closed the door leaving Kai standing there in thought.

"Whoa, Gary has some wisdom in him... somewhere." Kai said shocked.

~*~Elsewhere~*~

"....... and when Kai doesn't expect it, you push him into a manhole and close him in there until I get my license, okay Lee," Tala explained to Lee while walking down the sidewalk.

"As much as I would love to do that, I can't push him in a manhole... who knows how deep it'll be," Lee said sweatdropping and dening Tala's plan.

"We'll get him out as soon as I get my license..." Tala protested.

"What if ya fail it. Then Kai would strave then he might decay into a freaky looking body and then Mariah will find out that you made me do it and then she'll hunt us both down then we'll have to move to the mountains so that she'll never find us but then she finds us then we have to run to China and live as monks with no hair and-" Lee started to panic and talking fast and stuff.

"Okay, okay I kinda get your point," Tala stopped Lee. "Do you have any plans for us to settle this then?"

"Err... um... armwrestle him for it?"

"GREAT IDEA! I can beat him in it for sure! See ya tomorrow, Lee!" Tala said running home.

~*~At home~*~

As soon as Tala ran into the door, he hear Kai's laughing in the backyard. He ran through the living, through the kitchen to get to the backyard. "YOU!!" Tala pointed to Kai.

"Yea, what is it?" Kai asked raising his eyebrow.

"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A ARM WRESTLING CONTEST!! Winner gets to get their license first!"

"Alright then," kai said standing up. "Chief you wanna be ref?" Kai threw his time-watch at Kenny, who caught it.

"Sure Kai," Kenny answered as they went to the outside table and got into position. "Ready, set, WRESTLE!" Kenny released their arms and they started to pull each other left and right. Kenny kept on looking at the watch.

~*~6 hours Later~*~

"Err... guys... is someone gonna win THIS YEAR!!???" Kenny asked frustrated as both brothers have been in the same position for hours. "I CALL THIS GAME A TIE!"

"WHAT?!?!" they both yelled in a unsion.

"At this rate, it's gonna take forever. Just settle it over who gets their license first tomorrow, alright?"

"Okay then, tomorrow," Kai said glaring at Tala.

"Tomorrow," Tala repeated glaring at Kai.

"Great... now they're having a staring contest... I'm leaving," Kenny sweatdropped and left.
