RSFCS Ch 2: Aw crap

Time: 0901 hrs

Date: Dec 23, 3023

Location: Axel's house

Sub-Location: Axel's room

Axel sat on his bed and pondered the true meaning of Christmas. "Okay I can get the religion part. That's no problem for me. Hell I was raised a Christian, but what this other part? What tingly feeling?"

Axel walked out of his room and bounded down the stairs. "Why is this one holiday so confusing? I mean Halloween is about gorging yourself on candy and playing mischievous pranks, whereas Thanksgiving is about spending time with your loved ones and being thankful for what you have. What is Christmas about? Ugh this is hurting my head, I need food."

Axel walked to the fridge and opened it. He pulled out some sushi rolls and walked out into the garden and watched the snowfall and watched his father train his younger sister, Lacy Isabella Umos. Lacy was coming along well since Axel last saw her. Before he left she was still learning the basics, and now here she was in live combat. Q

Axel couldn't help but feel left out, but he knew full well he couldn't join unless he was invited. Axel's father Shen swept Lacy off her feet but she landed on her hands and started to fight on them. She was "break dancing" while fighting. She had incorporated the "Capoiera" fighting style with the Umos style.

After a long fight it was declared a draw. Shen noticed Axel sitting there watching. "Well, look who's up. Morning sleepyhead."

"Morning dad. How's Lacy's training going?" Axel asked while polishing off the last of his sushi with a down goblet of juice.

"It is going splendidly. Lacy is progressing well almost as well as your older brother, Areos (SPOILER ALERT!!!!), but you progressed faster than your brother didn't you Axel?"

"Come on dad; don't give me a big ego. Besides if I'm so great why the crap can't I figure out what Christmas means?!?!?"

"Son calm down. This is the 1st time you've been exposed to the outside world. You can't expect to grasp all this in one setting."

"I know but I hate feeling like this. I feel so helpless, and what is this true meaning everyone keeps yelling about?"

Lacy jumped on her brother's shoulders and rested her chin on his head. "Axel it's so simple, even I can figure it out. The true meaning is..." Lacy looked at her father and he shushed her. "What?" Axel said. "What's the true meaning of Christmas?!"

"Sorry Jason but that's something you got to find out for yourself. Come along Lacy it is time to go shopping for Mr. McCloud." They walked away and as they did they heard Axel yelled "AW CRAP!!!!"

Time: 1100 hrs

Location: Cornerian Mall

Sub-Location: Floor One

Axel walked through the mall still trying to figure out what Christmas was about. He'd watched Christmas specials until he could memorize them but he still didn't find the answer. He wasn't paying attention and he bumped into someone. "Sorry" he said. Axel reached back into his pocket and noticed the ring box was gone.

"HEY!! GET BACK HERE!!" Axel gave chase to the vixen who stole the box and he yelled "AW CRAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!"

Hahahahaha, Axel just can't win. I sort of feel sorry for him...sort of. At any rate that was chapter 2. Don't expect any chapters any longer than 10 pages. This is a special. Also if you check out my forum you'll notice that the Corneria thread is almost at an end. SO guess what that means? A new series. If you want more details then I suggest you check out the forum and read the thread or at least skim it. Hey and you might end up joining it. At any rate I'm ranting so no OC-jacking a'ight? Ok later.
