Hello there readers, I know it's been a while, school has honestly been a pain. But, hey, you still have to do the work. I've just recently heard of a Higurashi OVA movie called Higurashi No Naku Koro Outbreak, I watched the trailer and I'm not gonna lie, I was down right excited for it. It sorta reminded me of the movie The Crazies. It's something I really want to see, I can't wait until they sub it. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 12: Happy Birthday Little Bro

Beep, Beep, Beep!

I reached over from under my blanket and pounded my fist down on the snooze button on the alarm clock, the plastic device read ten o'clock in blue digital numbers. I sighed, sitting up, rubbing the sleep out of my eye. Any other day I would have slept in a little more, especially on a Saturday. But, today wasn't just any normal Saturday ...no, today was special, and it only came once a year.

Today, was my little brother's birthday.

I probably wasn't as excited about it as he was, but I was happy; Ant' has been waiting for this day for a while, so that gave him a reason to be as hype as he wanted to be.

"Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya, happy birthday~!" He sang as he opened the door of my room, walking in.

I sat up tiredly, but smiled. "Well, would you look who it is, happy birthday, bro."

"Hehe~ thanks," Ant' said, grinning, taking a seat on at the foot of the bed. "I thought you'd be up, you know, with your alarm clock being as loud as it is. Could hear it all the way down the hall."

I shrugged. "Well, that was why I got it, can't be sleeping in during the school year," I said. "Anyway, where is everyone else?"

"Kim's down stairs in the kitchen, and Rika and Hanyu," he thought for a moment, before continuing. "I think they're still sleep, yesterday was pretty exhausting. But, hey, it was fun!"

"Yeah, it was," I nodded in agreement.

Yesterday had been a blast, it has been almost a week since our beach trip, and since we had nothing else to do in the house but sit around, we decided to go to the playground in Fairmount park. We played a few games, like man hunt and threw a Frisbee around for a bit, we even played zombie tag, the 28 days later version, as Ant' put it.

After our game of tag, it started getting close to six o'clock, so the last thing we did was play a good game of basketball. It was me and Hanyu, against Antoine and Rika. We were playing street basketball, so there weren't that many rules, which was a good thing, because the girls were traveling and double dribbling a lot.

They did pretty well, what I didn't count on in the beginning through was Hanyu being afraid of the ball, I was so used to just passing it at top speed whenever I played, I sorta beamed it at the ground and it bounced towards her at high speed, it would have probably hit her in the head if she hadn't ducked as fast as she had. I felt like a complete ass after that for forgetting it was her first time trying basketball, but after a few quick tips and showing the girls how to shoot and dribble, they got better as the game went on. They still weren't a match for Ant' and me, since I was taller and could dunk to ball and Ant' used to be on a team.

"So, do you know what Kim has planned for today …?" Ant' asked, starring at me.

I shook my head. "Nope," I answered plainly.

Antoine didn't seem to be convinced, though. "You sure, usually, sis tells you everything so you guys can surprise me with something."

"That's true, but she didn't tell me a thing yesterday," I said, throwing the blanket off me and swinging my feet over the side of the bed. "Besides, if I told everything Kim told me, it wouldn't be much of a surprise and the whole thing would be ruined."

"...You have a point," Ant' said, before shrugging. He stood up and started walking towards the door, adding. "Oh, and Kim said it's time for breakfast. I mean, I know she can't cook as well as you can, but even she can't burn pre-made pancakes and bacon."

We laughed, and Ant' smiled, shutting the door behind him.

I got out of bed and head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, I felt glad that I took a shower the night before, there was no way I'd be able to go to bed sticky and sweaty. After I was done my normal morning routine, I got dressed, putting on a button up, red shirt and a pair of blue distress jeans, that had a rip in the right knee and left shin.

I checked myself in the mirror to make sure I looked decent, and my hair was combed the way I wanted it, and started down the stairs. I could hear Ant' and Kim talking loudly as I got to the last step, making my way into the kitchen, I saw Ant' sitting at the table, while Kim threw a few more strips of turkey bacon on the hot pan on the stove top.

"Morning," I greeted as I walked into the kitchen.

Kim turned to me and smiled. "Good morning, Kevin," she said. "Are the girls up yet? Cause, breakfast is almost ready."

"Nope, they're still asleep."

"Well, one of you could go and wake their asses up. Their foods gonna get cold, other wise."

"I'll do it," Ant' said as he got up from his seat. He walked out the kitchen and head up the stairs, once we were sure he was gone, I turned to Kim.

"So, what's the plan this year," I asked, smiling, leaning back in the chair. "Surprise party? Something along those lines."

"Actually, yeah, something like that, I was thinking of throwing a surprise party here at home," she answered, flipping the sizzling bacon over. "Invite some of his friends over, baking a cake this time instead of getting it from the market, I'll have to go to Walmart to get the ice cream and party stuff, though."

I gave a nod. "Alright, so, is there anything I should do …?"

"Uh ...let's see," Kim stood there in thought for a moment, then glanced over at me. "You could go get his PlayStation 3 from the game store. Either that, or distract him for a while, ya know, do something outside the house for today and I'll handle the gifts."

"I guess I could find something for us to do today," I said. "But, I wasn't really planning anything. God, it's hard thinking of something right on the spot, I always plan ahead for these types of things."

"Hey, it doesn't really matter what you do." Kim said as she cut off the stove and took the last of the bacon out the pan. "As long as he's out of the house until this evening, everything should be fine, you never let me down any other time he needed to be distracted."

"Alright, then, I'm sure I'll come up with something," I said with a sigh.

After a few minutes or so, three pairs of footsteps could be heard walking down the stairs. Then, Rika, Hanyu and Ant' walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the table. The girls were probably still tired from yesterday, but they seemed well rested enough, though I'd have to choose somewhere for us to take it easy today, because even I didn't feel like doing much.

"Morning, it's good to see you two finally join the living, again. I take it you both slept good last night," Kim said, giving a wink, smiling at the girls.

"Mii~ yes we did, sir, we slept very good," Rika responded, cutely, rubbing the sleep out her eyes. "I felt like I was asleep for years, before Antoine came and woke us both up."

"Auau~ I had the most wonderful dream," Hanyu said with a dreamy look in her eyes. "I dreamed I was floating on clouds of cream puffs, and every time I ate one, two more took it's place ...auauau, it was cream puff heaven."

Ant' burst into laughter, pointing at her. "Ah ha ha~ oh, man! So that's why you were chewing on Rika's pillow when I walked into the room! Now that's funny!"

"I-I didn't know w-what I was doing," Hanyu stuttered out, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, while she pouted. "Auau ...I-I was sleep. It's not like I could control it, the dream just felt so real. And, I haven't had a cream puff in a long time."

"You know, they say that sometimes dreams are a way of your subconscious telling you what you want most," I said as we all snicked at the horned goddess. "If you want a cream puff that bad, we could go and get some later when we go out ...my treat."

" ...Auau~ I'd really like that a lot."

"All this talk about sweets is really making me hungry," Kim said. She put a plate in front of each of us and took a seat next to me, smiling, as she added. "Let's dig in, huh, the sooner we finish breakfast, the sooner we can start the day."

"Mii~ I agree, let's eat, everyone," Rika smiled. She clapped her hands together and said, "itadakimasu," and Hanyu did the same. This was something they did sometimes, it was mostly done during breakfast and dinner, though.

As we ate, we talked a little bit about different things, like what we were going to do for today, or the places we could go. Eventually, Ant' brought up the fact that it was his birthday to the girls, who were somewhat surprised.

"Mii~ I had no idea, happy birthday, Antoine," Rika smiled as she ate her pancakes. "That mean it's your own special day today," she said, before beaming at him. "Niipa~!"

"Ah ha, thanks, Rika!"

"So is there anything you wanted to do today, like a place you wanted to go …?" Hanyu asked, tilting her head cutely to the side.

Ant' shrugged. "I haven't really thought on it ...if I had to choose a place, I'd say the skate park," he answered.

I raised an eyebrow at him, taking a sip of orange juice. "Why the skate park?"

"Well, it's just, we haven't been there since the summer started," Ant' said. "I mean, when was the last time we really went skateboarding. Like, two months ago, right?" I thought about it, and nodded, and he continued talking. "I miss the feeling of being on a board, riding down ramps, it's refreshing, you know what I mean, Kev'?"

"Yeah, I get it, bro," I said. I leaned back in my chair, thinking over it, this just might be the thing that gets him out of the house for the day. "So, that's what you want to do, go to the skate park?"

"Yep."

"Alright, looks like I'm taking out my board today," I said, smirking. "Teach you who still the best boarder in this house."

"Psst~ please, I could skate circles around you if I wanted!" Ant' boosted, with a smug grin.

"What about Rika and Hanyu, what will they do while you two are both skating and stuff …?" Kim asked.

She was right, we couldn't just leave the girls out of the fun, but they didn't know how to skateboard. I think I still had an old board in my room somewhere, one of them could probably use that, and the other could use Kim's roller blades.

"I could teach them a few things," I said with a shrug. "You're never too old to start skateboarding. By the way, sis, do you still have those old roller blades from when you were little?"

"Yeah ...what for?"

"Cause I have another smaller skateboard, but instead of them sharing that, I thought using your roller blades would be a nice for one of the girls to use."

"I guess they can hold them for today, It's not like I use them anyway."

"Ah ha~ that's great, So, now we have a place to go for today," I responded, before turning to Rika and Hanyu. "Make sure you dress in some good skating clothes. It's best to wear pants or jeans, instead of sundresses."

"Alright, sir," Rika said. "I don't know how to skateboard, though."

"Auau~ m-me either, what if I fall," Hanyu nervously added.

I smiled at them, then said. "Don't worry, you two. Even if you don't know how to ride, or you end up falling, you won't get hurt that bad since your just starting, trust me, I would know. I fell off a good two or three times when I first started skateboarding just from cruising alone."

"Yeah, I'll admit, I did too," Ant' admitted. If it was to calm down anyone but Hanyu, he would've never admitted to falling off his skateboard. Crushes are funny things sometimes. "It's all about balance, but, to be honest, I think you'd be good a skateboarding, Hanyu."

"Auau~ y-you think so …?"

"Uh-huh," Antoine nodded, smiling. "But, I think you'd be even better at rollerblading. You can try both to see which you like best, though."

So with that being said, we continued eating breakfast. Afterward Ant' and Rika helped me clean the kitchen, while Hanyu and my sister straightened up the living room, then we all got dressed, well, everyone but Kim, who was planing on making Antoine's birthday cake, she decided to have David pick up the ice cream and gifts, since he was coming to the party anyway.

The three of us left out with to have a good time, but I don't think anyone was happier then Ant' today, I just wish mom and dad were here to see him another year older.

~ ~(Part2)~ ~

The sun was slowly beginning to set over the horizon as night time approached, the skate park was almost empty now, but a few people stayed, trying to get their last tricks in on the ramps and rails before it closed for the day.

'The High Mile' was one of the top ten skate parks in the city, a lot of people came here all year round, but it was more so during the summer when it was the most packed.

Antoine was still teaching Hanyu how to balance right so that she wouldn't fall on her roller skates, again.

"You're doing good, just remember to remain balanced, move one foot after the other," Ant' instructed her as he held her hand, walking her through the basics.

Hanyu wobbled a little bit, but luckily didn't fall. "Auau~ I-I think I've got it now," she said, uttering to herself. "One foot after the other, right?"

"Yep, one foot after the other, do you want me to let go …?"

"Y-yes ...I want t-to try it on my own."

"Alright, I'm letting go, hon."

Ant' let her hand go and she went skating a few feet on her own, placing one foot after the next, her balance was pretty good, way better then it was earlier today. But, it wasn't good enough, because she started wobbling slightly, then out of no where her feet slipped out from in front of her and Hanyu landed on her butt.

"You alright, Hanyu," I asked, walking over to her.

She nodded, rubbing her backside from the impact. "Y-yes, I'm fine, Kevin," Hanyu said, "auauau ...I can't get this at all!"

"It's nothing to get frustrated over, Hanyu, you just have to practice," I said, smiling, while lifting up my skateboard. "I was never good at riding my board, and even now I'm still not as good as some people, but I got where I am through practicing. When I fall, I get right back up and try again."

"Bro's right, Han, it's like the saying gos 'practice makes perfect'," Antoine said to her in a cheerful tone, kneeling next to her. "You might not be that good at it now, but keep at it and you'll be like them over there," he pointed to our left.

We all turned our head and saw a group of about five people rollerblading down rails and grinding the low ledges and steps, one of them that was on the high ramp even fell as he went down, for what looked like, the first time, but his friends helped him up and he tried again, and succeeded, going up one end and coming down the next doing small tricks, and all his friends started cheering him on.

"Ah ha ha~ See that, keep trying and doing your best, you'll get there in no time," Ant' finished.

"I-I don't think I'll ever be that good," Hanyu said, shyly.

Ant' shrugged. "You'll never know until you try."

As the two of them talked, I took that time to look around the area to see if I could see Rika anywhere. For a second, I didn't see her, that was until she came riding over a small ledge on the skateboard she was using, only for her to go stumbling off of it, from the looks of things she was trying to ride off of it. It was easy to tell she wasn't doing it right.

"Well, I'd say Rika's doing pretty good," I mused as we watched her try again, and fail.

"Auau~ she's doing way better then I am," Hanyu muttered. "I just keep falling down, but Rika's riding so well, she doesn't even fall anymore."

"That's because it a little easier to balance yourself on a board, at least it is to me," Ant's said smiling. He stood up and cupped his hands over his mouth, before yelling. "Rika, when you get to the edge, left the front of the board a little bit, it'll help!"

"But, won't I fall off like that, sir ...?" She asked back.

"Nope, just trust me, that's how it's done!"

Rika gave a short nod, and picked up the skateboard, walking back onto the ledge. She placed the board at her feet and pushed off three times before standing up on the board with her knees bent slightly just like I'd showed her easier today. Once she got close to the edge, she lifted the board up just like Antoine instructed her to and came riding off the edge, wobbling slightly as she did. The blue haired miko rode right up to us with a cute grin on her face, placing her right foot on the ground, coming to a complete stop.

"Ah ha~ nice one, Rika, nice," I said, holding my hand up and open.

Rika gave me a quick high-five. "Mii~ I thought I was about to fall to a moment there," she said, then turned to Ant', beaming at him. "Thanks for the big help, Antoine! Niipa~!"

"Hehe~ it was nothing, I was just telling you how to do a basic thing," Ant' said, giving a small chuckle. "You can thank me when I teach you how to ollie."

"Ollie …? Auau~ Is that a trick, too?"

"Yeah, it's pretty much when you jump the board."

"So, can you ollie, Antoine," Rika asked as she picked up her board, hold it under her arm.

Ant' smirked, nodding. "Rika, I can do more then that," he ran and hopped on his skateboard like a pro, rolling towards a set of low placed rails. "Just watch and learn, Rika!" He kicked down on the back of the board and popped it, while at the same time jumping and sliding his foot along the deck. To Rika and Hanyu, it must have looked like the skateboard magically stuck to his feet, but I knew how to do it as well, I wasn't as good a skater as my little brother, but I could hold my own. Ant' gridded on the steel rail, and ollie off it in a kickflip.

...Yep, he was being a damn showoff again.

"Yahoo~ now that's how it's done!" Ant' shouted, as he pumped his fist in the air and turned his board around, coming back towards us.

"You're a real showoff, you know that," I said to him as he got close.

He laughed. "Ah ha ha~ you're just hatin' cause you can't do what I do."

I shrugged. "So, don't forget I'm the one who help you get that good," I reminded him, smugly. "The only reason why you got better then me was because I stopped skating and you kept practicing, brat."

"Psst, that still doesn't change the fact that I'm better then you, now does it!"

After waiting a while longer, I used an excuse saying that I was going to the bathroom so I could call Kim and see if everything was ready so we could head home, the park would be closing any minute now. I opened the door and walked into the one-person restroom, locking the door, and pulling out my cellphone, dialing the house number through the speed dial.

It rang a few times, before someone picked up, surprisingly though, it wasn't Kim at all.

"Hello, Erika speaking!"

"Oh, hey, I didn't know you were at the house yet," I said in slight surprise. She was usually the late one to arrive.

"Yeah, well I am ...so what's up, you keeping the birthday boy busy enough?" She asked.

"You know it," I answered, before asking. "Is everything ready yet? The skate park is about to close and I won't be able to keep Ant' outside forever."

"Don't worry, you won't have to keep him there for much longer, you can actually start heading back here if you want, everything's pretty much done," Erika said. I could here talking and moving in the background, so it was obvious to tell that there were a good few people at the house. "And, Kim just walked through the door with Ants' gifts a few minutes ago."

"Oh ...just to ask, how many people are there, anyway …?" I asked, leaning against the bathroom sink.

Erika sucked her teeth. "Hmm, there's your Uncle Jim, and he brought your little cousin ...oh, and your grandma's here too, a few of Ant's friends, David, and Carlos stopped by a while ago to drop off a present for him, he wanted to stay, but he had something to take care of, that what he said, at least," she explained. So there were a good seven or so people there, not too many, but enough for a real party full of family and friends.

"Alright, tell everyone to be ready, were on our way."

"Okay, see ya when you get here, Kev~!"

"See ya."

And with that I hung up the phone, and put it back into my pocket. I didn't waste any time walking out the bathroom, heading towards the others.

"Guys, I think it's about time we head home," I said to them, looking around, everyone else had mostly left and it was starting to get dark. "The parks gonna be closing soon."

"Auau ...but, I was so close to not falling," Hanyu said, sadly.

Rika patted her on the head, giving one of her cute smiles. "Mii~ don't worry, Hanyu, I'm sure we'll come back here again some other time."

"She's right, we might even be able to bring Kim along if she not working, she's good at rollerblading, she'll teach you a thing or two," I added.

"...O-okay."

"Well, lets get going!" Antoine said, happily, as he hopped on his board and started rolling toward the exit gate. We followed behind him, as we walked, I told Rika and Hanyu about the surprise party back at the house, along with who were there. Ant' really seemed to be a in a hurry to get home, he probably had an idea of what to expect, but wasn't completely sure. This party was gonna rock either way, I could feel it.

~ ~(Part3)~ ~

The doors of the Septa bus shut behind as it pulled off to the next stop down the street. After we made it down the block to the front door of the house, I ended up being the first one to get to it, which didn't really matter because I was the only one of us with the house key, I took the keys out of my back pocket and unlocked the door. As I opened the door, walking into the house, I noticed that all the lights in the living room and kitchen were off, of course I knew that everyone was probably hiding and waiting for on of us to cut the light on so they could jump out and surprise the birthday boy.

Knowing this, I let him walk in front of me to give him the honor of turning on the lights. Ant' flipped on the switch, and a loud yell came from different places around the room as everyone jumped out of their hiding spots.

"Surprise! Happy birthday, Antoine~!" They all exclaimed happily.

Ant' jumped, giving a slightly surprised looked. "I knew it, I knew you guys were throwing me a surprise party," he said, smiling.

My grandma laughed. "Are you sure, you look surprised to me."

"Well, I ...um, I had a feeling," Ant' admitted. "But it's all the same, I knew it subconsciously."

Ant's two friends, Jino and Hakeem, came up to him, both of them wearing grins on their faces as they congratulated him. Jino was the youngest of the three, he had tanned skin, dirty blonde hair that was cut short in the front, with a long braid in the back, and hazel brown eyes and was around the same height as Ant', wearing a button up white shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.

Hakeem was the tallest and oldest of the three, and was only a year older then Ant' was now. He had curly, light brown hair and light jade colored eyes, he had moved here from Egypt when he was young, and his parents were good friends of the family. Hakeem was one of Ant's first friends and after he started getting bully over the whole thing with nine-eleven, Ant' took it upon his self to help him whenever someone tried to give him crap because of his race and religious beliefs. It doesn't happened anymore though, and my little brother was part of the reason why. Hakeem had on a pair of black shorts, a short sleeve green shirt, brown sandal and had a white cap on called a kufi.

"Yo, happy birthday, man!" Jino said, slapping Ant' on the back playfully, "who knows, maybe you'll grown a few inches this year."

"Um ...Jino, you do know you're the same height, right," Hakeem pointed out quietly.

Jino shrugged. "And, if you haven't noticed, I'm an inch taller then the birthday boy here."

"I haven't noticed."

"Well, that's because you're a freakin' giant compared to us!"

"I'm not that much taller then you guys," Hakeem sighed, before looking to Ant'. "Anyway, happy birthday, Antoine, thanks for inviting me over."

"Awe, come on, we're friends aren't we, why wouldn't I invite you," Antoine laughed, pulling his tall friend into a one armed hug. "Just make sure you invite me to your birthday party next time."

"Oh ...uh, sorry, I-I can't, my family doesn't do birthdays and stuff, remember," Hakeem reminded him.

Ant' sucked his teeth, and nodded. "Oh yeah, damn, you're right. My bad, I forgot," he said. "But, hey, I can always get you something for one of your holidays, so it's no big deal!"

"For real …?"

"Yeah, what are friends for, huh."

"I'll get you something, too," Jino said as well.

As the three of them talked away, I made my way over to my uncle and little cousin, greeting them. My uncle was a tall man with dark brown skin and dark brown eyes and his hair was in a buzz cut. His daughter, was younger then Ant', she had just turn nine-years-old in May, she was light skinned and had brownish/black hair and her eyes were the same color, she was more or less the baby of the family because she always carried her Strawberry Shortcake doll with her almost everywhere she went and sucked her thumb sometimes, which was a habit my uncle Jimmy was badly trying to break.

"Hey, uncle Jimmy, Diamond, it's good to see you again," I said with a smile.

He nodded and smiled back. "It's nice to see you, too. You should call a bit more, baby girl here has been missing you," uncle said, ruffling Diamonds hair. Which annoyed her more then anything else.

"Daddy, your gonna mess up my hair!" She complained, frowning.

Uncle chuckled, taking his hand off her head. "Sorry, baby girl, I'll leave your hair alone, alright."

"Okay," Diamond said, then she turned her attention to me, standing up straight, holding her fist out for a pound. "What's up, cousin Kevin~!"

I laughed and fist-bumped her. "Nothing much, Diamond. Sorry I didn't call more, I was sorta," I stopped for a moment to think of the best word to us. "...Distracted." I took her hand and started guiding her over towards the Rika and Hanyu. "But, there are some kids I want you to meet." As we stopped in front of the girls, I introduced the three of them to each other. "Diamond, this is Rika and her cousin, Hanyu. Guys, this is my cousin."

"Mii~ it's nice to meet you, sir, I'm Rika," the blue haired miko greeted her polity, giving her a small bow.

"Auau~ I-I'm Hanyu, it's a p-pressure," the horned goddess greeted also.

"Why did she call me, sir?" My little cousin asked, confused, glancing up at me.

I chuckled. "It's just a thing she does, just say hi."

It was obvious that Diamond was nervous, anytime she was nervous or even upset, she'd chewing on her thumb nail, which is what she was doing right now. "O-okay ...hi, I'm Diamond. S-so ...um, where do you two live?"

"Actually, their both sorta staying here with Kim and us for a while," I answered for them.

She looked up at me in surprise. "Really, how come?"

"It's ...complicated, we have our reasons, though."

"Oh."

Out the corner of my eye, I saw Erika sneaking up behind Hanyu. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her, she looked ahead and saw me starring at her, before making a shushing motion in front of her lips. I rolled my eyes and once she got close enough, she put Hanyu into a surprise attack hug from behind.

"Hi, cutie pie, you miss me!" Erika exclaimed happy, almost lifting the goddess off her feet. "Ah ha~ your so cute! I have so many new outfits I want to try on you!"

"E-Erika-san, c-can you please stop hugging me so tightly!"

"Oh ...Sorry, Hanyu," Erika apologized, loosening her hold, but still not letting her go. "And, what did I say before, just call me Erika."

"Mii~ you might want to stop hugging her so close like that, sir," Rika said in concern. "I think you're embarrassing her."

After a while of catching up with everyone and introducing the girls to our other family members and friends they didn't know, Ant' looked around at everyone and asked loudly. "Hey, are we about to get this party started or not?"

"Ah ha~ Antoine's right, let's get started." My uncle laughed and walked over to the CD played, that was placed near to TV set, and cut it on. There must have already been a disk already in there because the first song to come on was one of my uncles favorites old school songs from the House Party movie.

Full Force, Hype
Hype (go go)!
Full Force get hype

Yeah, this is E-Coff
And Full Force wanted me to come
Down and help them blow something up.
So if ya' with that,
Let's kick that.

"Oh yes, this is my song! Let's go, David," Kim exclaimed.

"You don't have to say it twice, babe," David said as they both walked into the center of the living room turned dance floor. It was a good thing they moved the couches and things out the way.

Yeah, ya' look good.
But can ya' cook good?
Can ya' read or is your brain like wood?
Do ya' have sex?
Or do ya' make love?
How do ya' live?
Do ya' give or do ya' take love.
Girl, you so fine.
Could you be?
Or do I slack in the back of a
W-wic-wic-wack line.
Yeah, the fruit looks right but that...

Ain't my type of hype!

Act your age.
Not the size of those pants your wear.
So tight.
(You look ripe - yeah)
But getting everywhere you walk around
With your head on up in the sky.
Oh why ya wanna mess around with so many guys.

We used to have fun.
Thought you'd be the one.
To be by my side.
But o-o-o-h I was wrong.

I thought your love was strong.
But it was so weak that I could not compete.
Girl you're such a freak h-ho ho oh.

You look so good
(You look so good. I wish could but that just)
Ain't my type of hype
(Me and you was crazy cool)
Your love's so fine (You blow my mind but that)
Ain't my type of hype baby
Ain't my type of hype!

As the song played, Kim and David did a ton of old school dance moves like the running man and ended it off with the famous partner dance, the Kid n' Play. After a while I got tired of waiting and started dancing when the next track on the disk started, my uncle even took the time to teach Rika and Hanyu a thing or two when he saw them both trying to mimic Kim and David, but couldn't quite get it down.

All and all, it was a nice night and a great party for Ant's birthday, once we ate the dinner my uncle made at his restaurant for tonight, we had cake and ice cream a while later and also gave Ant' his gifts from everyone. By the time it was over at ten, close to eleven o' clock, everyone was heading home, tired out and ready to hit the hay after such a good time.

~ ~(Part4)~ ~

I fell back onto my bed with an exhausted sigh, after everything was cleaned up and the left over food was put away, I took a shower and quickly changed into my night clothes. After a day like today I was definitely sleeping in tomorrow, and I was sure that everyone else had that same plan in mind. Although, despite having such a long day, Ant' was still downstairs playing on his new PlayStation 3, but I was too tired to care much about what he did right now, so I climbed under the blanket with the last bit of energy I could muster and dropped onto the pillow looking almost like the living dead.

I closed my eyes and started drifting off, welcoming the wonderful bliss of darkness, or I would have gone completely to sleep, if not for a knock at my door.

"Kevin, you still awake in there," Ant's voice came through the door.

I groaned. "What do you want ...aren't you playing your game?"

"Well, yeah, but I wanted to ask you something, can I come in?"

"Oh, God. ...Fine."

The door opened, and Antoine came walking in, he had this look on his face that told me he wanted to ask something that I would most likely say no to.

"So, what is it?" I asked sleepily, not even bothering to open my eyes. "What do you want?"

"Um ...I was thinking, I know that I got a lot of gifts this year," Ant' started nervously. "But, I didn't really get anything from you, yet."

" ...What do you mean, I got you that kitty litter box, cat food, and a collar for Bern, what more do you want?"

"Yeah, but that's stuff we needed anyway, it's not like we could just keep letting her us a foil pan with litter in it," Ant' stated. He then continued, saying. "I know that I may be asking a little much, but ...can I use the monkey's paw?"

"No," I said without hesitation.

I heard him groan, I could just imagination the frown on his face. "Aw ...come on, just this once, I promise I won't ask you for anything else. Just one wish, that's it."

"No, the last thing we need you messing something up again."

"B-but, Kev'!"

"I said no, I'm not changing my mind," I said sternly, pulling the blanket over my face to show him I didn't want to talk anymore.

Ant' let out a huff and stormed out the room. "Fine, see the next time I try to be nice and ask you something!" And then the door slammed.

I sighed. "That brat, I swear he's so irking sometimes," I muttered.

I feel back to sleep, sleeping deeper then I had in a while, little did I know, Ant' had come back in and took the monkey's paw in the middle of the night, even though I said not to. And, that was going to make things even more difficult.

And that's it for now, the next chapter will be out soon. Also remember to review and leave suggestions, Shingeki no Kyojin has really been taking up my time, well, that and The Last Of Us, along with school, but I'm getting back on track with my other stories so don't worry I'll be updating those too. Until next time.

Peace~!
