A/N: wowz...chapter 4. Who knew I'd be this dedicated to this. Anywho, things are gonna get a little slow after this chapter since nothing worth mentioning

has happened. Back to the usual thing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the happenings in this story.

Chapter 4: Irony

"Hey..."

"..."

"Rude..."

"What?"

"Do you know what Irony is?" Reno asked. Rude stopped playing Fire Emblem for a moment.

"Isn't it when you do something but it bites you in the-"

"No. Thats Karma. You know what comes around goes around."

"Isn't it whatever goes around comes around?"

"Whatever but that doesn't answer my question. Whats Irony?"

"Well, it depends what you mean. Dramatic Irony or verbal Irony?" Axel replied in a matter of fact tone. Reno glared at Axel who was now smiling at actually knowing

something.

"ok smart one. Enlighten me then." Reno replied, sitting down on his human eating couch (now repaired from the last incident...).

"Well, Irony in general is the use of words to express something different from, and often opposite to, their literal meaning."

"Interesting Mr.I-know-all-so-I can-show-you-up. Any examples?" Reno said crossing his arms. Axel sat back down in the recliner sadly.

"Actually I never knew I would get this far..." Axel replied with a whining tone. All of a sudden Rude threw the game controller at the wall.

"DANGIT! Ok I can help you with the examples." Rude began.

"Well then say it!"

"One example is when you finally level up in a game but you immediately die."

"Are you sure thats Irony?"

"Most likely."

"ok then. Give me another example."

"Um...A fire station burning down?" Axel questioned.

"Or a police station being robbed?"

"how about a Repair shop having a broken doorbell?"

"Well, yeah. That works too." Rude said. They heard a door open. It was their friend Cloud!

"Hey! Lookie here! It's Cloudie!" Axel said.

"...What'd I say about calling me that?"

"Hey Cloud, give me an example of Irony."

"Alright. Hmmm...let's see...Genocide causing world peace."

"Geez...must you be so...morbid?" Reno asked with a dictionary in hand.

"Since when did you use big words?"

"I was hoping to confuse you..."

"Anything else?" Rude asked making sure to catch everything.

"nooo...not really. I can't come up with anymore." everyone but Reno said. Reno was in a ball facing the corner.

"It's all...too confusing..."

A/N: ok not so funny but it's informational. Plus I had trouble with the irony concept. Well...I still am having trouble with it but I'll get it myself eventually.

Or just keep asking around.
