Yes chapter 3 is out now. There is a small bit that I borrowed from my brother. That however is when Riku and Roxas do their project.
THUMP! The sound of Sora jumping off the top bunk to the ground came. Roxas opened one eye to look at the digital clock the numbers flashed a 9:05. Roxas turned over on his side this defiantly a time he wanted to be up at. Didn't mean he had much of a choice.
"Roxas get up or I'm goanna eat everything," Sora said as he walked out of the room.
It wasn't much of a threat to Roxas even if he did feel his stomach growl it felt like it was gnawing at it's self. "Fine you win!" Roxas yelled, "I hope you're proud of yourself stomach we could have gotten away with at least another hour."
Roxas grabbed the Wendy's bags and wrappers from the night before that had been laid on the floor and on the desks. Roxas stretched as he put the wrappers and bags in the garbage. Roxas looked over at his desk quickly and grabbed his headphones and MP3 player. Putting the headphones on as he walked downstairs he started listening to the songs. He flipped through the different titles.
Re: Your Brains a song Pence had found and put on. Roxas passed it as he went down the stairs
Dragostea Din tei Truly a strange song Riku had enjoyed for some time. Roxas had learned that the Words Dragostea Din tei meant Love from the Linden Trees.
Echo Roxas shrugged and listened to the song as he reached the kitchen. Sora sat at the table waiting for the food. The smell of bacon and scrambled eggs reached Roxas. Sora glared at Roxas while holding a fork in one hand. Roxas picked his up and smiled at Sora. It would end up being a race to see who could grab the food first.
Their Dad looked up from the paper, "I feel a headache coming on," he simply said folding his paper and picking up a donut and his coffee, "I'll be in the office upstairs."
"Cloud!" Their Mom yelled, "I don't want to have to bring down the plates and glasses from your office get back here you can't leave me when they're about to go into Mortal Kombat!"
"Just watch me Tifa," Their Dad yelled from the top of the stairs a door was closed. Roxas looked over at their Mom who sighed then looked back at Sora.
"Guess we don't have a ref this time little bro," Roxas grinned evilly.
"My Fork is going to land on those plates and grab the food," Sora said without taking his gaze off Roxas.
"Please don't kill each other," Their Mom sat two plates down on the table one filled with Bacon the other with eggs. Right on queue both leapt at the plates.
Tifa sighed, "Why do I even bother?" She put a plate of toast down then walked over to the fridge to check what they had left for drinks.
"Sora let go of the bacon," like a couple of wolves fighting over a scrap of meat the two of them were fighting over the last piece of Bacon. Sora had one hand on Roxas had his hand on it. With a powerful yank Sora was able to pull it up close enough to bite it.
"You cheater!" Roxas yelled as he grabbed a piece of toast. Sora smiled with the piece of bacon half hanging out of his mouth. Roxas sighed and finished the piece of toast and went upstairs to wash up and change.
Roxas had just got his shirt on when his cell phone went off playing Hikari.
"Hello?" Roxas asked.
"Hey Roxas," Riku's voice greeted, "the others phoned me and asked me to get you we're going to head down to the mall then to that new restaurant you in?"
Roxas looked around to hope Sora wasn't listening in, "Sure I'll try to make sure Sora doesn't follow me no guarantee though."
"Alright we're meeting at the old Clubhouse," Riku said, the click informed Roxas that Riku had hung up.
Roxas nodded and grabbed his white coat and began to make for the door. Carefully sneaking by the kitchen he knew he needed to let his parents know he was heading out. Roxas opened the front door very quietly stepped out his head still in he quickly yelled, "Mom, Dad I'm heading out with the guys don't worry we're getting lunch see you later!"
Roxas quickly shut the door and was half way down the street, he turned the corner and quickly glanced over to make sure no one followed him. Sora was standing at the front but with Roxas being out of sight Sora went back inside. Roxas relaxed and started on his way to the clubhouse. No Sora this time. Roxas continued to listen to his music as he walked along the river he came into site of the group.
"Hey Roxas," Riku greeted as Roxas looked up and took his headphones off, "no runt with you this time."
"Yeah he almost caught me but I was to fast for him," Roxas replied as he shut his MP3 player off.
"Well let's go have a blast," Hayner said as he pointed the direction of the mall.
Kairi smiled and looked at Namine, "Oh yes Roxas."
Roxas looked up to see another girl who he recognized, "Hey Olette haven't seen you in a while."
"Hayner thought it would be fun if she came on the shopping trip," Pence scratched the back of his head.
"Good to see you," Roxas smiled.
"Good to see all of you again," Olette replied.
"Alright let's get going!" Hayner ran ahead Pence followed. Kairi, Namine and Olette began walking and talking.
"Shall we get going?" Riku asked with a smile. Roxas answered with a nod and began walking beside his friend.
After several times being pushed in the trees and mud by Hayner and Pence with Riku and Roxas chasing after them telling them that they were so dead. They ahd finally reached the mall.
"Let's see if there's any good loot," Hayner said once more running for the doors.
"Hayner don't go to crazy or you'll end up in debt again!" Olette yelled. Kairi and Namine giggled and bit as they went in beside Olette.
"To the chocolate shop!" Pence yelled.
"Well no little wimp following us around," Riku said, "guess we can have a good day."
Roxas nodded, "Yep feels good not to have to watch for him but he used to hand out with us until we reached High School and Kairi and Namine are his age. What happened?"
"Kairi and Namine realized they were older, Sora is acting like he always had," Riku sighed as he walked in.
"I guess you're right however if we shut him out how will we know when he's acting older?" Roxas asked following his friend.
"When your brother can play a good prank on me," Riku laughed. That was a hard one most of the time Riku was ready for pranks andd could avoid them easily.
With one last nod Roxas closed the door, "alright then."
He had heard everything; Roxas didn't know that he was even here. Sora his behind a car as the friends went out of site.
"A prank on Riku eh?" Sora whispered to himself. Sora carefully ran to another entrance and snuck into the dollar store.
Sevral hours later
"Here we are the new restaurant," Hayner said as they reached a small building. It was about two stories tall and had some tables outside.
"It's a nice day let's stay out here," Olette said pointing at a table near the door.
"Alright," Hayner nodded
"One person should save the table and someone will order for them," Roxas added.
"I'll stay," Namine said, "if you want someone to."
Roxas nodded, "Sure just tell me what yah want."
"It doesn't matter what," Namine smiled.
"Come on it'll be Roxas's treat," Riku said, "right Roxas?"
"What?" Roxas was shocked, "I mean yeah, sure, my treat!"
After they ordered they all sat eating. Riku was slowly eating his fries, Pence laughed with Hayner who was balancing a fry on his nose and throwing fries up and trying to catch them with his mouth and failed. Pence ate his onion rings laughing. Roxas had gotten Namine poutine which she was enjoying a lot as she ate it with her fork and smiled. Kairi and Olette sat and ate plain old burgers, which turned out really well. Roxas sat with his burger and fries in front of him, he slowly picked at it. Most of the time went on like that as they ate slowly, they would talk and laugh. However it was cut shorter than they hoped.
SPALSH"What?" Hayner looked up quickly having the fry he was trying to catch land on his head. They all looked around looking for what happened.
SPLASH!
"What's going on," Pence yelled as something fell down behind him.
"Look out we're under attack," Hayner yelled grabbing his fries and hiding under the table. The others ducked under as well
SPLASH!SPLASH!
The splashes continued for a little while and stopped. Several minutes passed and they didn't here any more splashes.
"Guess they're gone," Hayner whispered, "rock-paper-scissor to see who's going to check."
Pence won and so did Hayner. They decided that the girls wouldn't need to go check.
"Guess it's down to us two," Roxas said.
"Nah I'll go Roxas," Riku replied with a smile, as he got ready to sneak back into his chair.
Riku had gotten comfortable and looked to his left to see Roxas sitting there, "We're friends, we'll do this together." Keeping their eyes open no one tried to attack.
As a few more minutes passed Riku tipped his head under the table, "Looks like it's clear guys." Everyone slowly came out. Everyone got comfortable they were still eating Riku went back to his fries.
Sora sat on the second floor patio looking down on the group he only had two water balloons left all the others had missed. Sora picked up a butter fly net, which he had bought at the dollar store. He carefully loaded another balloon into it. He carefully moved it and positioned it right over Riku's head. Sora started to hum the Jaws Theme. He quickly turned the net over and then brought it back to reload.
SPLASH!He heard everyone start to laugh. Sora launched the last balloon.
SPLASH!Sora grabbed everything he had and started to walk back downstairs he would sneak out when the group wasn't looking.
"Alright who's the wise guy?" Riku growled standing up he was soaked from head to toe. Hayner and Pence were laughing.
Roxas stood up, "At least I'm not the only one." Roxas was soaked as well.
"Who threw the water balloon?" Riku yelled angrily as he looked around.
Roxas was tried to drain what he could of his shirt when he saw something out of the corner oh his eyes. He walked up to the window of the restaurant. "Hey guys can you make sure no one that we know comes out." Roxas waved Riku to follow him. They entered and looked around the inside and noticed stairs to head upstairs. Roxas nodded and Riku went up.
Roxas looked around the first level he thought he saw something he recognized but it was gone. He shook his head and whispered, "No I'm just being paranoid." After a few minutes Riku came downstairs.
"Nothing up there," Riku shook his head.
"The water balloons had to be thrown from up there though," Roxas said closing his eyes to think.
"Yeah but there's no one up there," Riku said, "and no one came out."
"Then there must be someone still in here," Roxas said, "and I think I know who."
Riku turned and Roxas looked over by the door as Sora reached out to open it. Realizing he had been spotted he smiled and then tried to bolt down the street. Roxas and Riku were right behind him.
"I'm going to kill you Sora!" Riku yelled waving his fist in the air. Sora looked behind him to see them both and started to try running faster
Roxas and Riku ran out of breath Sora kept running, "Aww man he's to fast."
"I'll get him tonight," Roxas said in-between breaths.
"Hit him one for me," Riku said, "let's get going." They both turned and headed back for the group who was half expecting Sora to be with them and to be in horrible pain with black eyes, bleeding maybe broken nose and possibly a bleeding lip.
"What can't keep up with one little kid?" Hayner asked.
"He's bloody fast," Riku said.
"You should see him at breakfast he's like a speeding hole that takes everything," Roxas laughed.
"Hey did you guys your project done? It's due tomorrow," Pence asked.
Riku and Roxas looked at each other, "We forgot."
"Man you two are lazy," Kairi teased.
"Well er," Roxas said, "we have our idea."
"WE just haven't written it out yet," Riku added.
"We were gonna do it tonight online and one of us will print it odd," Roxas covered.
"As long as you do it soon," Hayner said yawning.
"Err sure we'll go do it right now," Roxas said, "come on Riku." Roxas grabbed Riku's arm and they started walking. Once they ahd rounded the corner they started to talk.
"So what's this project on?" Riku asked.
"Let's see we were supposed to write something short and creative on a job that we were handed out," Roxas said thinking back.
"What job did we get?" Riku asked.
"The hard boring one. Lawyer," Roxas groaned.
They reached Roxas's house and went up to his room where Roxas turned on his computer.
"You think of anything?" Riku asked lying on Roxas's bed.
"No, you?" Roxas replied as he logged in.
"It has to be creative not boring right?" Riku asked
"Yep and it has to be on a Lawyer," Roxas said.
"Sure give us the hardest one," Riku sighed
Riku started humming something.
"What are you doing?" Roxas asked.
"I got a scale stuck in my head and how to use the words in a song," Riku replied.
"I think I have an idea," Roxas stated.
"What now?" Riku asked.
Roxas started humming and turned to the computer and started typing.
"What are you typing?"
Roxas broke into song, "Dough - The Cash to start the suit."
Riku laughed a bit and did the next line, "Ray - The guy I'm gonna suuuue."
"Me - the guy who lost the case," Roxas laughed.
"Fah - Came too fah just to looooooose," Riku laughed and walked up to Roxas and watched as he typed this out.
"So, I'll ask for an appeeeeeal," Roxas sang as he typed.
Riku almost didn't have one but then, "Law - I'll bend it for my oooooown."
"Tee - Golf with judge - seal the deeeeal," Roxas turned and pointed as Riku then went back to the computer to continue typing.
They both sang the last part, "Which would bring us back to Dough!"
Roxas and Riku started to laugh as Roxas hit the print button. Riku final stopped laughing long enough to ask, "Do you think they'll want a intro of some sort."
"Yeah but with that how would we make anything serious?" Roxas laughed.
"We'll think of something," Riku said going back to the bed to lie down.
Roxas had another idea and started to type Riku went over to take a look.
Let's start with a lawsuit.
A very good place to start
When
you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sue, you begin with
dough-for-me
Riku laughed slightly as they started to sing back and forth again. Roxas typed everything they sang.
Dough
for me!
Dough for me!
The first greedy concept just happens to be:
Dough
for me!
Dough for me!
Roxas continued to type out the last part of their presentation which they would do right before their song.
Dough acquired through the immoral practice of exploiting the legal system's general design of the pursuit and alteration of monetary compensation rather than the pursuit of meaningful justice for both the victims and the community.
Let's see if I can make it any simpler.
"Dude this is gonna rock," Riku said. As they waited for it to print they looked up as the door opened.
"Uh oh," Sora said as he walked in to see the two people he had water ballooned today.
"Hey if it isn't squirt," Riku said turning to the door.
"Heheheh," Sora laughed as he backed away he turned for the open door but Riku was a little to fast. Riku pushed to door close.
"Were you gonna leave us?" Riku asked.
"I'm sooo dead right?" Sora asked.
Roxas grabbed the pillows off the bed, "Nah we'll just beat yah with pillows until you submit and then we'll drench you with the hose."
Sora tried to run and grab a pillow to defend himself with but Roxas had grabbed them all and passed two to Riku. With four pillows beating on Sora and no defense it was easy to get him to yell, "I'm sorry" about 1000 times.
The door to the room opened as Riku and Roxas put the pillows away. Sora was curled up in a corner.
"Oh hey Riku," Roxas's and Sora's Mom greeted.
"Hey," Riku waved.
"Um," she continued, "didn't realize you were here, would you like to join us for supper?"
"Sure," Riku smiled.
"Alright downstairs guys five minutes," She closed the door as she walked out.
"Yes backup to take down Sora," Roxas high-fived Riku.
"What you can't take the kid alone?" Riku laughed.
"He's a black hole that loses thought on what he's hitting with his fork and knife," Roxas said looking over at Sora who had stood up.
"Well then let's see how he can handle us," Riku replied raising an eyebrow and following Roxas out the door. Sora lingered for a few minutes and then ran out and down the stairs.
Their Dad looked up noticing Riku with them, "Hello Riku."
"Hello," Riku did his wave then put his hands in his pockets as he sat down by Roxas.
"I hope I can trust you not to kill each other," Tifa said as she sat down a plate in the middle of the table. Different foods sat in the middle of the table. Roxas and Sora were in a staring contest trying to see who would flinch. Riku sat there watching trying not to laugh.
Cloud sighed noticing the staring contest; grabbing his plate he went upstairs, "I'll eat in the office."
"Cloud," Tifa yelled, "not again!" She sighed, "I'll grab you three some pops and you can go at it."
As three cans of pops were set down, it was like a signal to start as Roxas and Sora leapt for the food and started arguing over a chicken leg. Riku laughed slightly as he just grabbed it from the middle of the fight.
"Yoinked," Riku said smiling.
Roxas laughed as he grabbed another piece of chicken, "as long as one of us got it."
Sora sat back in his seat and opened his pop. Most of their supper went on like that, Sora and Roxas would fight over something they both wanted and Riku would either grab it or help Roxas. Sora didn't starve he just didn't get any choice picks on the food. As the food disappeared Riku sat and slowly drank his pop. Roxas was sitting back in his chair.
"Let's head out," Roxas said, "it's fairly warm we can sit in the grass."
Riku nodded and followed Roxas out the door. Sora made the mistake of following. An evil smirk went on Roxas's face as he looked at Riku it was like they had a mind connection because instantly Riku smirked too. They walked along to the side of the house and once more Sora followed.
They stopped and Sora tried to see what Roxas and Riku were doing. Roxas turned quickly with the water hose in his hands still smiling. Sora's look of fear told them it was time. Riku turned the water on as the cold water hit Sora they could hear him scream, he turned to run receiving the cold water on his back. Roxas and Riku laughed as Riku turned the water off. Sora was on the ground drenched in cold water.
"You're not the only one who can get people wet Sora," Riku laughed. Roxas was slightly surprised this had to be the first time he had heard Riku call Sora something other than an insult like kid or wimp while Sora was around.
Sora started to laugh he had realized he was starting to get accepted again. He sat up and Roxas and Riku offered their hands to help him up. Smiling he accepted the help. Sora was almost accepted again he had to figure out how to get fully accepted once more by the entire group.
"Alright well I'm out of here," Riku said heading down to the sidewalk, "see yah tomorrow Roxas see yah wimp." The moment of acceptance was gone. Sora had to prove himself even more to Riku.
"Bye Riku," Roxas yelled waving, "come on Sora let's head in." They both turned and walked back inside as Roxas once more ruffled Sora's hair just to annoy him only it annoyed Roxas more wet hair was hard to ruffle and felt weird.
Roxas laid in bed that night as he looked at the pictures above him and beside him. He could hear Sora's snoring, which informed him that his younger brother was gone for the night, there could be an explosion and he wouldn't wake up. Only things that could wake that kid up were his internal alarm and food. Roxas looked at the floor of their room. He could see the outline of the dresser, desks, computers, and games. He could also see the outlines of Sora's shirt and pants that were drenched on the ground. Roxas had always been the neater of the two. Roxas once more looked up at the pictures on the wood above him. There was a picture of when Sora and he were kids. He remembered Sora's high pitched voice as he spoke to Roxas he remembered exactly what Sora had said, "Roxas, I want to be just like you and have lots of cool friends like you."
He remembered what he responded, "Why do you want to be like me?"
"Because you have such good friends like Riku," Sora had said.
"Yeah Riku is a great guy but you have Kairi and Namine," Roxas had replied.
"Namine likes you more," Sora said looking at the ground.
"Really?"
"Yeah she thinks you're cute, smart and brave," Roxas remembered Sora's big blue eyes looking up at him.
"You'll have good friends too," Roxas said.
"I'm not good with talking to people though," Sora said, "accept for you, Kairi, Namine and Riku."
"You'll get better as time goes on," Roxas had laughed, "you'll see, you will have lots of friends just like me."
"Really?" Sora had asked.
"Really," Roxas had replied.
"Thanks Roxas," Sora had hugged Roxas after that, "I think you're the best." They had said that when Roxas was in grade 2 and Sora was in grade 1. Even now when Sora was in grade 9 and Roxas was in grade 10 nothing really changed. Roxas still had great friends and he still liked Namine, Sora however didn't really have any other friends, which is why he clung to Roxas still. Sora was likeable but he was shy enough that he either got picked on or he couldn't talk to anyone. Maybe Roxas needed to step in and lend him a hand with making friends.
There you have it chapter 3 if I still get reviews letting me know people are enjoying it and want me to go then I'll see what I think up for chapter 4! If I do it I do have some dieas but that'll happen after I start one of my new fic ideas. So let me know what you thought of chapter 3!
