Chapter 2.
After Fox and Falco got home, they phoned up all of their friends.
RIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING Beep!
"Hello?" A voice said.
"Hey Kirb!" Falco sat on a chair at the table.
Kirby jumped up and down on his bed, nearly dropping the phone. "Oh hi Falco!" He plopped down on the bed.
"Hey uh, me and Fox and a few people are going up to the store in a couple minutes." Falco drummed his fingers on the table. "You wanna come?"
Kirby sprung up from his bed. "YOU BET!" He yelled. "I'll be there in a second!" He clicked the 'off' button, then threw the phone on the bed and ran out the door.
"Okay I guess Kirby's coming." Falco said to Fox, who was spreading peanutbutter on bread in the kitchen. "I just have to call Roy, Marth and Link."
Fox set down his knife on the counter. "I'm just gonna go refill the gas tank in the car, be right back."
Falco nodded, then dialed Link's number.
RIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING Beep!
"Yo." Link answered.
"Hey Link, we're all going up to the store. You wanna come with us?" Falco asked.
Link set the phone on his shoulder, holding it up with his head. "Oh yeah sure, I'll be there in a couple minutes." He answered, shaking a can of hair spray.
"Okay, can you do me a favour and call Marth and Roy to tell them to come?" Falco asked, "Roy has the shopping list."
"Yeah I guess, we'll all be over in a few minutes." Link hung up, then set down his hair spray bottle. He dialed Roy's number.
RIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING Beep!
Roy picked up the phone, dodging Marth who was playing with a remote-control helicopter.
"Ello?" He ducked, then stood up again.
"Uh hey Roy." Link scratched his head. "Are you and Marth coming to the store with us?"
"Yeah, we're just... getting ready." Roy answered, jumping to his right, almost getting hit with the toy.
"Look at it go! Weeeeeeeee!" Marth pranced around the room, chasing his helicopter.
Roy sighed. "Don't mind that. Just a second." He put the phone to his chest. "Marth! Take that outside!"
Link laughed. "What's going on over there?"
"Just the usual." Roy sighed again.
Marth steered his helicopter out the door, then ran after it. "Whoooooosh! Neeeeeeeeeeerm!"
"Well I'm not going to Falco's for like, a couple minutes." Link said. "Have time to talk?"
"Oh yeah." Roy answered. He sat down at his computer chair. "What's going on over there?"
Link glanced over at Young Link, who was dangling from the staircase on a string. "Oh, nothing."
Roy swayed back and fourth on his rolly chair. "Yeah there's not a whole lot going on around here. Things are sorta boring since it's Friday."
"Yeah I know." Link replied.
Suddenly, the helicopter flew in through Roy's window.
"Link! ... You won't believe it!" Roy stood up. "Marth's toy helicopter just flew in here! Hold on!" He chased the toy around the room, trying to grab it.
Marth walked in the room. "Oh and you tell me not to play around?"
"I wasn't playing! I-" Roy glared. "Ugh nevermind." He sat back down with the phone. "Sorry Link. Some sixteen year olds don't know how to act their age."
Marth made an L with his fingers and stuck it on his forehead.
"Like this one for instance..." Roy rolled his eyes. He looked at his computer screen. "WHAT THE-!" He clicked the screen. "What is this!"
Marth burst out laughing, and fell on the bed.
Roy changed the desktop picture. "Never again." He tried to get the thought of him wearing a tutu out of his head.
"What's going on over there?" Link hesitated to ask.
Roy glared at Marth angerly. "Nothing..." He walked towards Marth who was laying on his back, on the bed. "Excuse me for a moment..." He said quietly to Link on the phone.
"Wha- ... What are you doing..." Marth asked. "Roy... quit looking at me like that... What are you doing..."
Roy threw the phone on the chair, then pounced on Marth, and started playfighting him.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Marth rolled over on the bed. "Roy! Stop it! Ow!" He tried to stand up, then jumped on Roy and started slapping him.
"OW! Marth quit it!"
Link raised an eyebrow. "What are you two doing over there..."
Marth grinned and yelled across the room to the phone, "YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW!"
Link's eyes widened. "Okay I'm just gonna go to Fox's now... Cya later!"
Roy laughed, then got up. He went to the phone and shut it off.
"We'd better go now 'eh?" Marth asked. He walked out the door and out to the car.
"Be there in a minute." Roy called.
DING DONG!
Falco nearly jumped out of his seat.
"I guess Kirby's here..." Fox said sarcastically.
Falco got up, then walked to the door. He opened the door. "Hey Kirby." He took a step to the side, letting Kirby in.
"Yo Falco!" Kirby walked in. "When's Link and them coming?" He asked.
"Link said he'd come in a few minutes, he should be here anytime now..." Falco answered.
Kirby and Falco both sat at the table, waiting for Link, Roy and Marth.
Kirby hummed quietly.
Falco rested his chin in his hand. He looked around the room.
"...What can we do while we wait?" Kirby finally said.
Falco looked around some more. Then spotted the wall. "Hey why don't we count the bricks on the wall...?
Kirby sat up. "Okay!" He said. "Let me start. Okay. One, two- I'm bored." He slumped back down in the chair.
Suddenly they both heard a splash.
"What was that?" Falco looked behind him.
Fox had a bowl of water, he was dropping things in it. Kirby walked over. "What are you doing?" He asked. Fox dropped a pencil in the water. "I thought I'd get a head start on my homework."
Kirby looked at the bowl, then looked back at Fox. "This is your homework?" He looked confused. "What are you supposed to do?"
Fox got a stood for Kirby to stand on. "See, I'm supposed to drop things in the water, and test how many things float or sink."
"Oh! Neat!" Kirby shouted. "Can I help?"
Fox nodded yes. "Drop this spoon in." He handed Kirby a metal spoon.
"Okay!" Kirby grabbed the spoon, then threw it in the water.
Fox and Kirby both looked in the bowl.
Five seconds past.
"Aww it sank." Kirby cocked his eyebrow. "Can I do another one?"
Fox handed Kirby a red plastic button. "Here, try this one."
"Okie doke." He replied. He tossed the button in the water. "Yaaay it floats!" Kirby cheered.
"Great!" Fox smiled. He wrote down his data on a clipboard. "Okay, button... floats." He said to himself, writing it down.
Link, Roy and Marth arrived at the door a few minutes later. Falco went to answer it. "Hey guys! It's about time you came."
Falco walked over to Kirby and Fox. "Hey guys, we should probably go now."
Kirby looked at Fox. "Whatever floats your button!"
"...What?" Falco looked confused. "Don't you mean 'whatever floats your boat'?"
Fox grinned. "Nevermind."
Kirby and Fox both walked to the door. "Come on Falco, let's go." Kirby called to Falco.
"I'm coming!" Falco walked up to the door.
Roy and Link both opened the door, then ran out to the van. Marth, Fox, Falco and Kirby followed.
Before they got in, Roy made a small announcement.
"Now guys, we have to be mature adults on this shopping trip." He said.
"SHOTGUN!" Marth ran to the front seat and hopped in.
Roy hit himself in the forehead.
Kirby laughed. "Okay let's just go!"
Everybody climbed in and drove off.
