"Hey guys, what are going to do today?" he asked the two girls that were with him, they just shrugged their shoulders, he sighed, and fell leaned over backwards on the bench. The teen had jet black hair, and his eyes were green as grass, he wore a necklace, with a white and black pattern, and a long sleeve black shirt, with a blue vest, and a pair of white baggy pants. "Well I don't want to sit here all day.... Lets go do something." He said, looking back at one of the girls. "We could always go to the bowling alley." One girl said, having blonde hair, and ice blue eyes, wearing a matching necklace to the boy, and a yellow short sleeve shirt with a pair of black jeans. "Didn't we do that yesterday?" The other girl said, looking back to the boy, she had brown hair with dark brown eyes, wearing a white long sleeve shirt, with a black vest zipped up in the front, and a long, flowing blue dress. "Come on Zashi, let's go to my house and play Kingdom Hearts!" Zashi looked at Marlena, "you still play video games?" Iris, looked at Marlena, saying, "You've never played Kingdom Hearts Zashi? I thought you liked video games?" Surprise washed over Zashi, "uh...yea I like video games, but I haven't been keeping up lately..."
Marlena, stood up, "come on guys, let's go to my house and play Kingdom Hearts." Zashi got up from the bench and then looked to Iris and said, "are you coming?" holding out a hand. She took it, to help her up, and then she followed the other two, down the walkway of the ocean shore, looking at the blue horizon of ocean and sky. Iris sighed, and continued walking.
The trio finally found Marlena's house, where a black cat at the foot of the door greeted them. "Don't mind Samwise." She said, holding the door open for her friends and the cat. They took off their shoes, and looked around the house. It had a giant open room, where the dining, living and kitchen were combined, and a small stair leading up. "Come on in guys, my room is up stairs, let's go!" She ran up the stairs, with Iris following suit, and Zashi following her. Marlena's room was a mess, with clothes and make-up all over, she had posters of her favorite bands, and a big T.V. Marlena sat on her bed, while Iris lounged in the chair, and Zashi found some floor to sit down on.
Marlena turned on the T.V. with the remote and then said, "hey Zashi, could you turn on the game since your closest?" with giant puppy dog eyes. He rolled his eyes, and crawled toward the system, and turned it on. They each took turns playing the game, progressing farther than Marlena had, and they watched as the scenes of the game played out, Zashi noticed at one point, Iris was shedding a tear from the dialogue. Soon it grew late, and Marlena went to go get some snacks, for everyone and Iris seemed to be daydreaming. Zashi noticed, and poked her forearm and said, "whats wrong?" Turning her attention from her daydream, she said, "Oh nothing, I was just thinking." Zashi tilted his head and asked, "about what?" Iris blushed, saying, "No its stupid, you don't want to hear it..." Zashi swallowed a lump in his throat and said, "I...don't think it will be stupid." "Well." Iris started, but Marlena burst into the room with chocolate cookies and cold milk. "We can't eat them in my room, we gotta go to the kitchen." The two of them followed Marlena into the kitchen, and sat down at the table and started snacking on the cookies and talking about the game they had just played.
Marlena and Zashi talked to each other, Iris finished her cookies and just started to stare out the window, and let a small sigh pass her lips as the rain started to fall on the window. Iris excused herself from the table and went to the bathroom, while she was away, Marlena turned to Zashi and asked quizzically, "Why did you give her that necklace?" Zashi wetted his lips, and bit his tongue, and finally said, "its for her to remember me by if she moves away..." "She wears it all the time, I've never seen her take it off, even when she sleeps." Zashi's interest peaked, "Really? She never takes it off?" Marlena nodded, as Iris came back and asked with confusion, "What were you guys talking about?" "Nothin." Marlena smiled with her eyes closed, Zashi looked at his watch and said, "Holy cow! Its almost 1'oclock! My must be worried sick about me, but I live across town...maybe she will let me stay the night." He got up and looked around for a phone, and then Marlena tapped his forearm with it, he took it and walked to another part of the room, calling his mom. He came back after a few minutes, saying, "My mom says its ok..." he handed Iris the phone, and then she wandered off to make her call. She came back, with a smile on her face, and said, "I can stay the night, but Zashi your going to sleep on the couch, wither you like it or not." He nodded, saying, "That's fine with me, I like sleeping on couches."
They had clothes dropped by their parents, and then they went to the bathroom to brush their teeth, then they decided to play more of Kingdom Hearts before they finally went to sleep...
