Almost forgot to do this update

Bet you didn't expect Garam to be next, did you? It's just for certain. . .things. . .I have planned out -insert evil laugh here-

My name is Garam, and I'm currently stuck in a love triangle with one line missing, and that line wasn't connected to me. This is my story

My life started out pretty okay. I don't remember my real name, but it somehow lead to me being called Garam all my life. My dad was the owner of a pretty big recording company that had some popular bands, singers, and other musicians under their wing. But my dad hated it when they got into romantic relationships, believed that it diverted their attention from their work. I never knew my mom, but I didn't really care all that much.

But because of my dad, I always was forced to go to parties. I had a natural way with girls, don't know which side I got it from, so the girls always swarmed me during parties. I never really liked them, but it always felt good seeing a girl smile.

Then my dad came home one day with a surprise

"Garam! I'm home!" He yelled as he entered the house. I was in the living room, so I instantly saw what he had found on the street

"Who's she?" I asked, pulling my orange insect-like sunglasses so I could see her better. She looked a lot like me, but she had a mass of dirty-blonde dreadlocks falling from her head

"This is our new singer. She'll be staying with us until she finds her feet" My dad smiled

"Hello" She smiled. Her voice was smooth, kind of like frosted sugar

"Hey" I waved and got up from the couch "Name's Garam"

"My name's Sugar" She smiled. It suited her, a lot.

"Welcome to our humble adobe" I slightly bowed "Please enjoy your stay

We both laughed and I showed her to one of the guest rooms. Apparently, she lived on the streets singing for money. My dad had heard her singing, and it kind of lead to this from there.

She was strangely attracting. I loved listening to her voice even if she wasn't singing, it was a voice that you could never not want to listen to, and it could kind of put you to sleep (in a relaxing way, not a boring way). It was weird, because I never had been attracted to a girl until her

We hung out sometimes when we had free time. A lot of people asked if we were siblings, because we looked so similar. Sometimes we said we were just for the hell of it, but mostly just denied it, saying we were best friends. We were best friends, though the people who knew us personally sometimes asked if we were dating. Of course, it eventually reached my dad

He approached me one day as I was lying on the couch

"Have you and Sugar been dating?" He eyed me

"No dad, we're friends"

"My sources tell me other wise"

"Your sources lie" I sighed "Can't a guy and a girl be best friends without dating?"

He stayed silent for a while, then said "So are you?"

"Hell no! We're best friends and that's all it's going to be" I yelled and buried my face in a magazine, trying to notion to my dad I didn't want to be on this topic anymore. I heard him walk away, and a couple minutes later, my cell phone rang. I picked it up and looked at the caller I.D. It was my cousin, Cube. I opened it and put it to my ear

"Hey Cube"

"Hey Garam!" This was back when Cube wasn't as gothic as she was before "You want to go skating with me tomorrow?"

"Yeah" I replied. Then after a moment, I added "Mind if I bring someone with me?"

"Sure! Who?"

"My long-lost sister"

"Oh my god I have another cousin?" Cube gasped

"I was kidding Cube. She's one of dad's new recruits, and a lot of people mistake us for siblings"

"Oh, okay! See you tomorrow" I could hear the click of a phone, and the dial tone sounded. I closed my phone and went back to the magazine. My dad didn't like that I was friends with a Rudie, but I really didn't care. Cube was my cousin, and she was pretty cool. Plus she gave me free access to 99th Street without being attacked by Rapid99, since she was their leader.

Once my dad left for business, I went up to Sugar's room and knocked on her door

"Yes?" She called from the other side of the door

"Do you know how to roller-skate?"

"A little, why?"

"I'm going skating with my cousin tomorrow. Want to join?"

"Sure, I guess"

"Cool, just make sure my dad doesn't find out"

Sugar remained silent, so I just went over to my room. But before I reached it, she called

"Do you mind if I bring a friend as well?"

"Sure, as long as they don't hate Rapid99"

"Okay"

Tomorrow came pretty soon, and I was able to lie to my dad pretty easily. I just said we were going to hang out at 99th Street, and he didn't ask any questions. The only really hard part was sneaking the skates out without him noticing, but we were able to pull it off

"Why did you say that my friend could come as long as he didn't hate Rapid99?" Boogie asked as we skated down 99th Street"

"My cousin's the leader of Rapid99" I shrugged

"I can see the problem if he did hate them" Sugar let out a small laugh

"Garam!" I turned and saw Cube skating towards us. She had pretty much the same clothes back then as she did now, but she had a mass of black bangs that almost covered one eye and couple streaks of red within it. She stopped in front of us and gasped "Holy Shit! I do have a long-lost cousin" then cracked up "Sorry. Name's Cube, and as you probably already know, I'm Garam's cousin"

"I'm Sugar" Sugar smiled

"Nice to meet 'cha" Cube grinned, then examined us both "Garam, are you positive you guys aren't related?"

"Yep, checked" I grinned back at her

"Just making sure" Cube smiled

"You aren't the first one to wonder" Sugar nodded

"Sugar!" We all turned our heads to the owner of the voice and saw an unfamiliar man. Well, unfamiliar to Cube and I anyways

"Soda!" Sugar waved as he skated up to us, then turned to me "This is my friend that I was talking about yesterday

"You two do look like your related" Soda nodded. He almost looked like on of those mad scientists from a B-rated movie or something like that. He had a light blue shirt with long sleeves and a high collar that was zipped up all the way. It covered half of his face, but an unusually large nose poked out anyways. He also had green pants and skated. His head was pretty much bare except a pair of goggles resting on his forehead and a couple red-orangish columns of hair sticking out from the top of his head.

"You didn't tell me another person was coming" Cube pouted

"Sorry, I kinda forgot" I turned back to Cube and shrugged

"Its okay" Cube smiled "Come on! Let's go make some havoc!"

Cube's idea of 'making havoc' back then was just partying, so it wasn't like we were panicking people more than our presence already panicked them. We had a pretty good time. Cube talked a lot, showing Sugar all the sights. I helped in sometimes too, but it was usually Cube and Sugar in their own little world. And the entire time, Soda didn't speak one other word. God, was he always silent like this? Of course, I didn't even have time to ask myself that question when we heard someone yell

"Cube" we all turned and saw a Rapid99. She looked panicked and a little beat up

"Ruby, what happened?" Cube's expression almost immediately turned shocked

"There's. . ." she tried to start, but screamed in pain as she was sent forward. I caught her before she hit the ground and held her up when we saw the attacked

"Hur Hur Hur" Three Poison Jam loomed before us. Fuck, we were soooo screwed
