It's All Your Fault!

"Ok, now that my Rei- koi is back, we can all start!" Mariah squealed in a

hyper manner while latching onto Rei.

"Whoa whoa, back up. Since when were you and the traitor a couple?!" Lee

demanded outraged.

"But, Lee, I only got with him today," Mariah said with a sad childish voice

that made Lee guilty. "And if you do anything to him, I swear Galeon will go

missing!" her voice turned into steel that made her brother back off sulking.

"Mmmm, Rei have good food. Gary feel very full." Gary patted his

enormous stomach.

Everyone sweatdropped. Mariah took the bottle between her fingers

and quickly spun it around and around. It finally stopped at Max.

"Well?" Mariah asked expectantly.

"Uh, Truth?"

Hmm, Mariah wasn't sure what to ask him, but there is always the

"who's your crush" question. So she shrugged and asked him.

Max turned beet red and whispered in a tiny voice that Mariah almost

couldn't hear.

"Emily"

Mariah thought she hadn't heard him properly.

"Emily?" Mariah said in a loud confused voice.

"Shut up!" Max glared at her but it was too late, some people were laughing,

Kenny's face heated up and he looked like he wanted to strangle Max.

Tyson wasn't sure what to say. I mean, what are you supposed to say when

your two best friends are after the same girl? I hope you get her? So he

stayed silent.

After everyone had quieted down, Max spun the bottle with tears

threatening to spill.

Kevin yelped like it the bottle was a hot potato it stopped at him.

"Truth," he gulped hoping to get this over with fast.

Max thought for a moment then asked,

"Are you wearing briefs or boxers?"

"Briefs." Kevin said in one breath and got ready to spin the bottle.

"Why not boxers?"

As Kevin thought, he couldn't think of why, but he needed a reason so

he blurted out the first thing he thought of,

"Um, I'm not old enough?" (a/n sum1 in my church actually said that! ^^;)

Everyone burst into fits of laughter, 'cept of Kai of course. That

must've been the lamest excuse anybody had ever heard!

Kevin sweatdropped, but didn't say anything. Again after everyone

calmed down, Carmen made a suggestion. I'm kind of getting bored of

this... so yea, how about we play something else?

"Like what?"

"Uh, Rei, did mom buy that new Harry Potter DVD yet?" Carmen asked

"Yeah, why?"

"Don't know, maybe we could all watch that!" Carmen said cheerfully

bouncing up and down.

Kai snorted, he still couldn't figure out how she could actually be so

cheerful... she was so cheerful it was sickening... still she was Rei's sister

so he had to be polite.

"I'm up for it." Rei said

"If my Rei- koi is watching a movie I am so there!" Mariah squealed.

"Hmph, I'll watch," Lee said grumpily, *to make sure you two don't do

anything* he added in his head, throwing the couple a glance.

"Sure, whatever, ok, sounds fun," were some of the other replies so they all

trooped upstairs to watch the movie on a big screen TV!

(a/n Harry Potter is sooo not mine! It belongs to J K Rowling. Oh and I hafn't

seen it so I'm not gonna go into detail of the movie.)

As they settled back, Rei reached for the popcorn, but found the none

and the movie hadn't even started yet! He looked over at Gary who's face

was full of butter. Sweatdropping he went to go make more with Mariah

tagging along.

"What shall we do?" Mariah grinned sly leaning against Rei who had his

arms around her waist.

Rei kissed the top of Mariah's head, but quickly leaned down, and

both were engulfed in a passionate kiss.

~~~~~~The movie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai reached for the other bowl of popcorn and sat it on his lap.

Through out the movie, they gasped at the scary parts, and some awwwed

at the sappy parts. When it seemed that the bad guy would win, they would

boo. Of course, everything turns out ok in the end so everyone was happy.

Lee looked around, Rei and Mariah were gone! He narrowed his eyes and

stormed off in search of the couple. Kai still had half a bowl of popcorn

(a/n its those really really really huge enormous tubs of popcorn) and looked

around. Suddenly, the bowl toppled off him, though he hadn't even shifted!

Carmen groaned out loud,

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

IIIIIII!!!!"

Rei and Mariah came rushing in, both panting and with clothes all

rumpled.

"What?!" Rei asked gasping, thinking it was a real emergency.

"Kai spilled the bowl of popcorn all over the floor." Carmen moaned.

Kai scowled at everyone staring at him. How the hell did that thing

tumble off?! He hadn't moved! And it was perfectly fine during the movie

too!

"I'm sorry." Kai muttered out between gritted teeth.

Rei sighed, he already had enough troubles to deal with...

"Carmen, could you clean that up?" Rei asked his little sister.

"But-" Carmen protested.

"No buts, I'm in charge so you'll listen to me!" Rei snapped.

Kai felt as if he should do something after all, he DID spill, or so it

looked like...

"I'll clean it up then." Kai inserted.

"Great! I'll be in my room Goh Goh (a/n its supposed to be Chinese for

older brother but I don't know how you translate it! - . -')"

Kai raised an eyebrow; Chinese sure was a weird language! He

wondered what Carmen had called Rei. (a/n I'm Chinese too, I like my

language but that's just the way the story goes!)

Rei sweatdropped, he hated being called that, but Carmen just had to

do it to piss him off! Mariah giggled and tugged on his arm to drag him

away.

Kai stayed behind and started to clean up the mess he had made. He

kept wondering how it fell down. He never really moved so it shouldn't have

fallen. It was weird... The popcorn was coated thick with butter and some

of the butter had dripped out of the container. Kai's hands got all yellow

and oily from picking up the popcorn and putting it back into the bowl to

dump later. His hands also smelled like butter. (a/n mmmm, butter! I luv

butter!^^) The only good thing was that he didn't have to socialize.

Socializing had always been his greatest weakness, in terms of his

personality. He hated parties and was only here because this was Rei's

party (a/n 4 the hmmm, 5TH TIME! This is NOT yaoi/ slash/ or shounen ai!)

Whenever his grandfather had a ball or party, he was expected to mingle and

more than once when he had messed up, he had received a good beating

for it! He growled, STUPID MEMORIES AND STUPID POPCORN AND

STUPID EVERYTHING! You can tell he was more than a little pissed.

~~~~~The rest of the people minus Carmen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Gary is bored. What there is to do at Rei house?" Gary grumbled.

"Hmph, there's nothing to do at the traitors house. I feel like leaving"

"On the contrary, there is something to do! Pool!" Rei said cheerfully, trying

to ignore Lee's hurtful comment. Lee was one of his best friends and when

he had called him a traitor, it hurt, it hurt a lot. (a/n poor Rei!)

So they split of into teams since there were only 5 sticks. Lee and

Kevin was on one team; Max and Gary (he refused to go with Kenny); Tyson

and Kenny; and obviously, Rei and Mariah!

Lee went first and scattered the balls everywhere but didn't get one in.

Max stepped up and managed to get one ball but unfortunately for him and

fortunately for Tyson, set up a perfect shot in one of the side pockets.

Tyson tapped it a bit too hard, and it seemed to bounce out, but went in.

The second ball Tyson shot in narrowly went in.

Tyson was about to shoot his third shot when Kai wandered in. Rei

called out optimistically, hoping to get Kai involved,

"Why don't you get the last stick and join us? You can go after me and

Mariah!"

Kai grunted but retrieved the last stick. Tyson tapped the white ball a

little too hard and it bounced up, landing back on the table! Everyone glared

at him. Tyson's smile was just a little too big as he whistled innocently.

Mariah stepped up and hit the cue ball with deadly accuracy; it bounced off

the rail and hit a ball straight into a side pocket for a bank shot! (a/n a bank

shot is when the cue ball hits the side [rail] of the table then hits a ball in)

Her eyebrows furrowed as she calculated her next shot. The white ball

slammed into a colored ball and that ball hit another at an angle that flew

into a corner pocket! Everyone clapped, this girl had skills! Mariah was

good, since she often came to Rei's house when they were smaller to hang

out. She also had lots of practice since she also had a pool table in her

house.

So the game went on until 3/ 4 through when Carmen peeked in. Kai

and Rei/ Mariah were tied at 3 each and Tyson still had 2. Lee and Kevin

had one, same with Gary and Max. She teemed up with Kai and to his

amazement, she really wasn't that bad! Now they were tied at 4 and there

was one ball left. (a/n assuming they were using 15 balls. I think that's how

many are in a game. Sorri, I forgot!) Mariah and Rei had the advantage as

they were before Kai. Kai was standing to her left, when all of a sudden, He

felt like he was pushed and he bumped into Mariah! He threw her off

balance and her stick hit the cue ball at the wrong angle, now the ball was

lined up for a perfect shot for Kai and Carmen!

Mariah glared at Kai and screamed,

"THAT WASN'T A FAIR SHOT! HE BUMPED INTO AND MOVED ME!"

No one had seen though and since no one could prove it, Carmen

took the turn and got the shot in!

"YAY!! WE WIN!" She jumped around excitedly and tried to get Kai to high

five her, but unfortunately didn't succeed.

Mariah was still fuming over her loss. Rei tried to console her, but to

no avail. To get her mind off losing the game he suggested,

"Let's go outside and walk around." Rei and Mariah quietly slipped away

leaving the rest of the people there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carmen had seen her brother walk off and rubbed her hands together with

glee! Time to cause some mischief!

Kai lay sprawled on his sleeping bad. Normally, he would be out

training, but today, he just didn't feel like it. He knew he should, but

something just wasn't right.

Strange things had been happening and every time he was blamed!

He knew he hadn't done it, but the proof was there and now Max was

suspicious of him, Mariah hated him, and Tyson hated him cuz Max hated

him. Why was everyone against him? Sure he was bit antisocial, but he

hadn't mean to bump into Mariah and he didn't mean to spill the popcorn,

but the "Mr. Waddlesworth" incident was the most peculiar! He hadn't even

touched Max's bags! Why would he want to anyways? But the evidence

was clear; he was the "criminal".
