Chapter Two : Goals in Life
What the heck is up with his eyebrows? I really want to know how he styled them like that. Maxi, I mean. His eyebrows make him look like a beast, which he totally is. But they are kind of freaky...
"Maxi, how did you get your eyebrows like that?" asked Kilik unsuspectingly one random day when they happened to be together.
Maxi glared at him. "Do you expect me to be able to explain everything?" he asked.
Kilik was a bit awkward about it for a moment. "...N...no...?"
"Well... I'll let the narrator tell you for five bucks," Maxi said quietly, motioning to Joe Narrator, who is the narrator, which is a little redundant.
Maybe when Maxi was a furling he decided to just go ahead and grow up so that his eyebrows were ridiculous and pointy. And he also decided that they would look better if they wafted in the wind. Because they so do.
In fact, in class, I bet while they were talking about their futures in Kindergarten, he randomly spouted the fact out!
"I want to be a fireman!" shouted Little Johnny.
"I want to fly to the moon!" cheered Little Suzie.
"I want to write totally biased and critical fanfictions!" Little Wolf cried joyously. (A/N: I'm not that old, though...)
"I want to grow the best eyebrows EVER!" yelled Little Maxi, not caring what the world thought of him, for he was a furling- a blank slate. He would scribe his own destiny!
...Ahem.
And, while he was still Little Maxi, he probably told everybody that he'd be the Dandy of the East Seas when he grew up.
"I'm going to be a fireman!" Little Johnny still shouted.
"Astronauts are so out, so I'm going to be a model!" Little Suzie said, being the ever-changing stereotypical little girl who will eventually become 'popular' and then get into the real world and fall apart little by little.
"I still want to write biased and critical fanfictions!" Little Wolf said, restating her obvious goals in life.
"I shall become a pirate! And you shall all know me as the Dandy of the East Seas!" Maxi declared, pointing a finger upward.
A few years later, he most likely decided to use nunchucks and use crazy karate yells when he fought. Because a pirate's nothing if he can't fight.
"Firemen climb ladders!" exclaimed Johnny- who was not so little anymore- brightly.
"Models are unhealthy. I think I want to be an astronaut again!" whined Suzie who was also not so little anymore.
"Fanfictions... I don't need to say it again!" said Wolf who is going to stop growing now.
"I'm gonna be a pirate with crazy-cool eyebrows and nunchucks and yell like a madman when I fight!" proclaimed Maxi who was not so little as well. (A/N: Actually, that's the Japanese Maxi's goal, since the English voice actor is a little... blah.)
And then when he graduated, he told everybody his dreams and future goals! ...But it's not like you haven't already heard them enough.
"...And that's the story," Maxi chuckled. Then he held his hand out expectantly. "I'll just take those five dollars now..."
"But that story didn't tell me anything, other than you were an ambitious little kid!" Kilik whined. "And that you had no motivation whatsoever to become the man you are today!"
"I'll tell ye my motivation... if you hand over them five bucks," said Maxi.
"And it didn't have the dynamics of a true story. The beginning should have sucked me in, the middle should have had suspense exceeding a Harry Potter book, and the ending should have given me a strong sense of fulfillment!" Kilik continued.
"You can't always get what you want, Kilik," sighed Maxi, "But I sure do want those five dollars. And I know I can get that."
"Stop with the subliminal hints and take your stupid money!" yelled Kilik, throwing five dollars- in quarters- at Maxi and stomping off.
"Geez... What a tight-wad..." As he said that, he started picking up the coins and stuffing them into his jacket pockets.
