A/N: Many, many thanks to all those who have reviewed! Your reviews are like music to my ears... Or a really pretty picture to my eyes. Whatever works.

This update took a little longer because of that stupid holiday special chapter, (Although the lucky devils here celebrate both Santa and the Three Kings! They get twice as many presents!) But I didn't write it out beforehand, and attempted the spur of the moment, type'er up on the computer thing, so I got stuck for a while. Woo hoo!

On with the show!

Ch.9: "Grandpa"

Vaida, Isadora, Legault, Harken, and Karla were all hanging out in the castle livingroom watching Jaffar play "Parappa the Rapper."

Isadora had her hands cupped over her ears, attempting to block out Parappa's horrific rapping.

"Jaffar, is there ANY other game you could play?!" She asked through clenched teeth, "This game sucks!"

". . ." Jaffar replied.

"I'm gonna FREAK if you don't play something else!"

". . ." He retorted.

"Will somebody PLEASE go get Nino?" Isadora pleaded.

Everyone was feeling kinda lazy, so nobody in particular volunteered. After a minute or two Harken noticed Isadora's desperation, and decided it was his job to pick who should go get Nino.

"Hey, Karla. Go get Nino."

Karla looked at him, and replied with a look that said, "Yeah, fat chance."

"Hey, Karla. Go get Nino." Harken repeated.

"No."

"Come on."

"No."

"It's not like you're really friends with anyone here."

"No."

"Help us out."

Karla sighed, "If I wanted to leave, I wouldn't be doing it to help you. I'd rather find my brother." She replied dryly.

POOF! "Be careful what you wish for, for it may just come true!"

"Karel!"

"Oh. Hey there." Karel said, "Talk about awkward..."

"What are you doing popping in on people like that?!" Karla asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Er..."

"Is this what you've been doing the entire time you've been gone?!"

"Um, no." Karel lied.

"You're lying to me! I can see it in your eyes!!"

"Hannah! I finally found him!" Eunice screamed over her shoulder.

"Crap. Gotta go." POOF!

"Shoot! He disappeared again!" Hannah growled.

"He's a lot trickier than Libby is, that's for sure!"

"My name's Lowen!!" Lowen cried out in the distance, "Is it REALLY that hard to remember?!"

Hanna and Eunice hobble/dashed out of the room in pursuit of their prey.

"Go get Nino, Karla."

Deciding that there would be no end to their begging, Karla left grumbling in search of Nino.

". . ." Jaffar said.

"Hm? What'd you say, Jaffar?" Harken asked.

Jaffar just shook his head and continued rapping with his beloved Parappa.

Nobody really knew what to say after that.

After a space of silence, Vaida spoke, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we had a gang?"

Everybody was caught a little off guard.

"What? A gang?" Isadora asked.

"Yeah."

"And who would we put in this said 'gang'?" Harken asked counting his fingers, "Guys, I think I have eleven fingers!"

"No you don't. You just counted the right pinky finger twice like you always do." Isadora pointed out.

"Oh, yeah."

"We'd put ourselves in it, moron!"

Legault folded his arms thoughtfully, "What would our gang do?"

Vaida shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. Paint our gang name everywhere, talk like we were raised in the ghettos, bust a cap once in a while. That sort of thing."

Confused silence. There were about two or three words in that sentence that they'd never heard before in their entire lives.

"I don't think I understand...." Harken said.

"That's just because you're an idiot, Harken."

"Isadora!! She just called me an idiot!!!" Harken wailed as he began to recount his angsty past and stuff.

"Great, Vaida! Look what you've done!! Now it'll be hours before he stops!!!" Isadora scolded.

"Whatever, " Vaida scoffed, "he's all peel and no orange."

Everyone stopped what they were doing, and slowly turned their heads to stare at her.

"What?" Legault began to laugh, "Was that supposed to be witty?!"

"Er, no!"

He began to laugh harder, "Then why'd you say it?!"

"Shut up! That's why!!" She snapped back.

Then, Karla walked in, "Nino can't come because she's at a tea party."

"Hey Karla, wanna join our gang?" Vaida asked.

"Are we going to do stuff like paint our gang name everywhere, talk like we were raised in the ghettos, and bust a cap every once in a while?"

"You know it!"

"Count me in!" Karla said, giving Vaida a totally ghetto high-five.

"And what about the rest of you?" Vaida turned to face the group, "Are you all in or what?"

Everyone shrugged their shoulders, nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."

Suddenly, Renault entered without saying a word. Everybody glared daggers at him.

"Get out, Renault." Hearken said, pointing to the door.

Renault hung his head and left, where he exploded and probably died.

"Grandpa." Jaffar ACTUALLY said!

"What?" Legault asked, "Were you talking?!"

"I said Grandpa." Jaffar ACTUALLY said again!

"Grandpa? Grandpa what?" Harken asked, "Don't tell me that you and Renault are related!!"

"No. Grandpa for the name of our gang."

"...Oh" They all replied. Of course, the situation had turned quite ugly. Now, there were two choices.

They could laugh and tell him how stupid it was, but then he'd probably kill them. Or they could accept it, let someone else tell him how stupid it sounded, then he'd kill that person, and them later for not telling him that it was stupid. Considering this was one of the only things Jaffar'd felt strongly about since the discovery of Nino, that only made things more difficult.

"Ok. Grandpa it is, then." Vaida said. It's always better to delay inevitable doom.

This would have been one of those moments for Jaffar where he'd be beaming with happiness and contentment were he not the nearly emotionless blob he is.

"So, what do we do now that our gang's established?" Isadora asked, because she literally hasn't said anything for nearly a page now.

"I dunno. Let's hang out here for a while til we think of something." Vaida said.

"Ok." Everyone agreed, and resumed whatever they were doing before the gang thing started.

A/N: That was a really short chappie! This was inspired by some Grafiti I saw somewhere when I was walking to church. I was so confused by it! "Foot Fetish" it read. And I thought, "Have they ANY idea of what they've written?! Do they even know enough English to know the meaning of the word 'fetish?'" So I decided that if a gang name like that sounded tough or forshizzle or whatever, that Grandpa would be equally forshizzle, if not MORE than any Foot Fetish!! Stupid, I know, But it made me laugh like an idiot!

Hey, be sure to tell me if I take any jokes or whatever too far, use them way too much, begin to get repetitive, etc, etc. I really don't want to get obnoxious!

Now, Reader thingies!

Guardian Arrow: He he he... Circus Ducks came from my brother! I found it hilarious!

Queen of the Insects: The biggest yay for me? Nah, I think it has to go to Great grandpa Gordon for putting up (kinda) with all the crap I put him through! I did a lot to him in my other fic! Ha ha ha ha!!

Roy's going to be in the next FE game, and Marth's in like, the first FE ever. Or something like that...

Nightmare: I'm so glad that you all find my idiocy hilarious! If you just thought I was well, an idiot, then I probably wouldn't hold it against you. I AM an idiot. This entire story is a great example.

Don't worry, Hector'll get what's coming. I really don't hate him, though. Despite the harassment I put him through...

The music? Punk music from one of the best bands ever! Reel Big Fish, baby! I'm going to start the art school on monday! Yaay!!! Wish me luck, everyone!!!

Don't worry about the review streak thingy! Have fun with whatever you're doing!!

Lemurian 04: Karel has plenty to do, and I think that his moment to shine is rapidly approaching, unless I have more to put in between... Don't you love how I'm dragging the Karel thing out as long as I can?! Actually, I'm not really, it just keeps happening!

Neonn: You bad person! You're breaking the law! Ha ha ha! I think I'm funny!

The Oompa Loompas were unemployed! And you don't give presents to presents, silly! Although, maybe they would've enjoyed Al Gore's Greatest Rap Singles more than Guy did...

I coulda SWORN that at one point she started using the term Silly Moo fluently... Oh well!

School's gonna be peachy, cause I'm putting my paper thingies in friday and FINALLY picking my classes!! YAY!!!

Katelynn: I guess I'll forgive you... Just kidding! I could never stay mad (Not that I ever was before...)at anyone who reviewed my story at least once! WOAH. Did you REALLY cry?!

Wolf McCloud-123: You liked how Heath turned out? Like, losing his Mullet-y glory and all? Yeah, I liked that too!

Thanks for the Barbecue idea! That actually saved my butt for chapter 10!! Thank you!

Lack Thereof: I admire your dedication!! You're making me so happy! And you like Eunice, too! Yay!

I could use Sonia later! Man, I need to compile a list of characters I haven't used yet! I'm starting to get confused! Does anybody want to make a donation of one or two of the generic Bad-guy names? I'm gonna need them later! And what's that one morph's name, you know, the one that's like a broken record? It's like D something... Crap, I've been racking my brains for days trying to figure it out!!

As usual, thank you all for your reviews, and remember that er, I... um, love you?

Yeah, shut up, Jordan.
