Chapter 2 Sleepover
As Amy said, the apartment complex wasn't that far away from the doujo at all, in reality it was only about a quarter of a mile away and in walking distance. When Hillary and Amy got there it seemed very nice and tidy. Amy's apartment number was 888 which actually made Amy very happy because her lucky number is 8.
As soon as Amy opened the door Hillary gasped at how amazing the place was, the living room and kitchen were both huge and had plenty of space to walk in and down the hall there must have been six different doors most likely leading to more huge rooms and maybe a bathroom or three, and throughout the whole tour Hillary saw that the whole place was furnished, and not with just any funiture either, some of it looked like it came from all over the world, for a girl who only just got back today she sure did move in quickly. "Is all this furniture really yours Amy, and how did you move it all in so quickly, I mean i know that your job paid good but wow I didn't know it paid that good" Hillary said with a hint of amazement in her voice, she of course knew that Amy was and ex-assasin because she was her best friend and it was only fair that she tell her after she just confessed her feelings about Tyson to her one day during a game of truth or dare, she also knew that she was one of the best, even is she was young still, so she should be paid just as good, but you'd be pretty shocked too if you stepped into an 8 room apartment and had the nerve to ask her why she didn't want to stay in her grandfathers doujo with seven other people staying there and just two bathrooms.
In just a matter of minutes though Hillary was over the whole huge apartment and rich ex-assasin best friend thing and was chowing down on some chocolate fondu that Amy had just prepared and was just about getting ready to settle down and watch the scariest movie ever, The Ring, the only thing missing was Amy and that was because she was in her room writing to her dead mother about todays events then once she was done she would burn the piece of paper on her balcony so that the ashes would be caught by the wind and float on to the heavens above and reach their destination, thats what Amy has always done ever since she heard that if you blow the seeds off of a dandylion and make a wish then the wind current will take the seeds up to the heavens above where it will reach the one who can grant your wish, and so Amy figured if it works for dandylion seeds why not a burnt letter.
Later on after the movie, "So you never did answer my question of why you can't stay at your granpa's crowded doujo instead of living in this palace," said Hillary with a bit of humor in her voice. "Hillary you know exactly why but just to get you to stop asking me; as you already know I've decided to retire as an assasin, even though I'm young, and just live out the rest of my life peacefully so 'they' thought it would be safer for me, my family and friends, in case certain events were to occur, if I lived a good distance away but not too far so that I could come see you guys whenever I wanted and seeing as how I was one of their best they didn't want me living out the rest of my life in nothing but the best and thats how I got this so called 'pallace'" said Amy with a long sigh. "Man sometimes I wish I was you," exclaimed Hillary, "Trust me being an assasin is not all its cracked up to be" replied Amy, "Who said anything about being an assasin, I just meant I wish I could have all this cool stuff," Hillary said as the two girls burst out laughing.
The next day Hillary and Tyson got into another argument, something about who makes the best ramen and unfortunately Amy got dragged right into the middle of it. "Come on Amy you have got to try my chicken flavored ramen I know you'll love it better than that wannabe beyblader's," said Hillary shoving a huge bowl of ramen in Amy face, "Who are you calling a wannabe your the one who can't even launch a beyblade properly!" retalliated Tyson while shoving a giant bowl of steak flavored ramen in Amy face. "ugh are they always like this?" asked Amy turning to look at the others while trying to ignore the two bowls of ramen and the arguing couple who once again started insulting each other like they were bitter enemies instead of an actual couple, "Yep," replied Max, Ray, and Kenny simultaneously. Finally deciding that she had enough Amy gets up into a defensive stance and declares "Alright listen you two if I hear one more insult come out of your mouths today I'll make sure neither one of you ever even see another bowl of ramen ever again or anything else for that matter got it!" as she glared at Tyson and Hillary who were suddenly silent, shocked that someone actually had the guts to stop them from arguing, and afraid because both of them knew very well that unlike most people Amy would definitly carry out that threat in need be. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly after that, Hillary and Tyson never argued after that all day or any other day for that matter and to tell you the truth, it was like heaven for the others as they didn't have to worry about being dragged into anymore of their arguments ever again.
"I don't believe it I've never seen them get along so well" said Ray as he watched Hillary and Tyson carry on a normal conversation without disagreeing on anything, and whenever they did he noticed that Amy would always glance their way and once they got the message they started discussing another topic so as not to make Amy actually carry out her threat. "Man I guess she wasn't joking when she threatened them," exclaimed Max as he noticed the pattern as well, "Either that or they both fear her so much that they just don't want to have to find out if she would really do what she said she would," exclaimed Kenny as he too noticed the pattern, "I'm really starting to like this girl," said Dizzy.
Even Kai figured it out, probably sooner than the others, and secretly had to agree with Dizzy. Also there was a certain characteristic to her that he just couldn't put his finger on, but there was also something about her that disturbed him a little. Every time someone tried to bring up the topic of her boarding school, and you could hardly tell unless you studied her closely, it was like her mouth was saying one thing but her eyes always had that look like she was hiding something, the problem was Kai was never really the best when it came to figuring others out, and plus he would hardly say a word to her, much less try to get her to reveal her deep dark secret, so Kai usually just kept to himself and thats what he liked about hanging with Tyson and the others because they knew he wasn't really one for talking and they eventually accepted that, but this girl was just driving him crazy and he couldn't figure out why so that just pissed him off. All he needed was some kind of occurance or something to get him started in the right direction as to find out what it was that Amy was hiding, and thats exactly what he got.
Whew second chap done. Hope I didn't stray out of character. Well again please R&R if you have time. Thank you!
