Stupid Reason To Go To Jail
Tidus's POV
I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly the phone rang. The annoying noise wouldn't stop. I felt like smashing it into tiny little pieces and then throwing it out the window. I hadn't been able to sleep well these past few days and now that I finally had the opportunity to do so, this retarded phone had to start ringing.
I didn't feel like getting up, so I just let the answering machine get it.
"OHH COME ON! PICK UP THE DAM PHONE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TALK TO YOU FOR THE LAST FOUR DAYS! SHEESH, I MEAN HOW HARD IS IT TO GET UP, PICK UP THE PHONE, AND START A CONVERSATION?"
Of course, I knew instantly that this was the hyperactive friend that I had made in high school, Rikku. She was alright, but right now, I just wished that she would shut up.
"FINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PICK UP THE PHONE, THEN SUTE YOURSELF. I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE GENEROUS, AND INVITE YOU OVER FOR MY BIRTHDAY PARTY WHICH WILL BE TOMORROW. HEY! I USED THE WORD GENEROUS! HA! IN YOUR FACE I DO KOW HOW TO USE BIG VOCABULARY. WELL, CALL ME LATER.OH! AND ONE MORE THING, DON'T FORGET TO GET ME A PRESENT. HAHAHA, JUST KIDDING. WELL TALK TO YOU LATER."
I started laughing; I always teased her for not using big vocabulary. Anyway, now that she had made me laugh, I am wide awake and I guess that I should get up and get ready for another day of… well… my interesting life.
Tidus walked out of his house and went to buy Rikku a gift. He got into his convertible and began to drive off. Since the weather was awesome, he decided to let the top down.
He was driving quickly because he seriously needed to get back home to watch the blitzball game that was called "the game of the season". He was speeding down the lanes, when a red light came. He slammed the brakes and while doing this, a cop saw this violation.
"Crap," Tidus mumbled under his breath.
"Good morning, may I see your license," the cop stated.
"Um…funny story about that… You see, um.., I went to get my new license just the other day, and then I guessed I kinda… dropped it," Tidus said while smiling innocently.
"Oh… then that's so hilarious. Too bad you'll have to come to the police station with me."
"Ugh, just my day!" Tidus replied.
"Excuse me?" the policeman questioned.
"Nothing," he replied.
"I thought so," the policeman said while taking Tidus into his car.
A few hours later…
"I'm sooooooo hungry," Tidus said while his stomach growled.
He remembered that he had his cell phone in his pocket, and since the cop still didn't take him into a cell, he figured that he was allowed to make a call. Just in case though, he turned around in his seat and dialed Rikku's phone number.
Beep, Beep, Beep.
"Oh please pick up," Tidus begged.
"Hello, this is Rikku, at your service," he heard his friend say.
"Hi Rikku, please help me. I am well, in jail. At the Spira Jail to be exact. I need you to bail me out. You just have to pay a small fine of… $1,000."
"WHAT? Are you crazy? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?"
"Don't you have some money saved up in the bank?"
"And you expect me to use that money to bail you out? Well, in the first place why are you there? Oh no! NO way, you have become a criminal haven't you? I knew you were acting weird. You haven't been answering your phone for so long! What have you really been doing? And who are you really?" Rikku replied.
"Hey, hey, calm down. I am NOT a criminal. Sheesh, Rikku I thought that you knew me. Well, please get me out. I'll pay you back"
"Why should I?"
"Um… Well I can't go to your party when I am stuck here in jail!" he knew that this would convince her to help him out. She never liked to have parties when everyone wasn't there.
"Oh… ok, fine!"
"Thanks a lot Rikku," he said.
He turned off his cell phone and turned around in his chair when he was surprised to see Rikku right in front of his face.
"Hey! How did you, where did you?"
"Haha, I gotcha. As soon as I heard you mention that you were in jail, I got into my car and headed this way. It was just fun to make you have to explain everything to me," she said while laughing her head off.
Tidus just glared at her, but decided that he would make her pay later. Maybe he would do something at her birthday party…
While Tidus was planning his evil plot, Rikku had gone to pay the fine. Before he knew it, he was free to leave. They gave him a license and told him that he would have to be more careful next time.
"Be careful son, it's a cruel, cruel world out there," the police man told Tidus.
"Umm. Thanks," Tidus said and then just turned around and left because he was literally freaked out.
"That guy was weird. He sounded like my dad with the speech about being careful" Rikku said while making quotation signals while she said the words being careful.
Tidus just nodded his head. He looked and his watch and…
"Oh no! It's time for the game."
He thanked Rikku and got into his car. He sped off.
"Hey! What about a hug or something. And this is the thanks I get for bailing you out!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
She was surprised when she saw Tidus stop and back up. When the car was near her, he got out and gave her a hug.
"Happy?" he said while getting back into his car.
"Couldn't be happier!" she said, "But I will be when you come to my party! Remember it is tomorrow at 2:00 p.m."
Tidus nodded and then sped off. This day was definitely not an enjoyable one and he still didn't have Rikku's birthday present.
"Oh, well I'll get it later. Right now it is time to watch the game," he said while sitting in the couch.
