Uhhh, yeah, this isn't the main bit, it's leading up to the better part ; Heh, sorry for the shortness.
I disclaim ownership for all that I should.
Oh, and thanks for the reviews people!
Yazoo was one shout away from murdering her brothers, who had just woken her up from one very happy dream. (Happygay XD)
As for whatever his brothers were gallivanting around for downstairs, she'd have to deal with it after a shower. Unfortunately…
"KADAJ!!!! Where is my shampoo?"
"Did you hear something?" Loz said as he forked his bacon. Kadaj shrugged. "Probably just Yazoo bitching."
"Don't insult your sister." Sephiroth said in a bored monotone. "Yes, dad." The boys chorused.
Sephiroth wasn't one to judge, so it made things easier when Yazoo had decided to tell him how 'she' felt when the second-born was thirteen.
Back then, the father of three wasn't a little more than surprised, although it took a while to work things out with Yazoo. When Sephiroth had announced they were moving, Yazoo was elated.
Even with the two younger siblings arguing every morning, with a little more colorful a vocabulary than the single father might hope for, he knew that the three of them were closer than any normal trio.
"Kadaj, you are a liar!"
"I AM NOT! That was my shampoo, and you know it!"
"HAH! So you admit you took it!"
Close as they were, this was really getting irritating.
At the Gainsborough household… Which isn't necessarily a household, but a flowershop with extra rooms…
Marluxia had peaceful mornings, unlike her best friend. She and Aerith sat together in the back of the shop.
The elder could buy the two of them an apartment if she wanted to; Aerith was, in fact, rich, from the fortune left to the two of them by their deceased parents, but the siblings were happy with their current living conditions, and kept the money for future use.
But then, it didn't mean Aerith couldn't indulge just a little bit; noting the fact that she had her own personal greenhouse built behind the shop, and that she had decided to buy Marluxia a Chevrolet Corvette for her birthday.
As great as it was, Aerith's happy-go-lucky attitude didn't rub off on Marluxia nearly as much.
For about a week into school, Marluxia showed just how strange she could be; she hung out with people who insulted her day in and day out, not including sweet-tempered Yazoo.
Next to the silver-head, Larxene and Axel became Marluxia's best friends, whose relationship with Marluxia could be described as love-hate.
People seemed to find it ironic; by the end of the week, the two new girls caught the attention of the whole school, and they decide to hang out with people who probably weren't worth mentioning. At least, a certain trio thought so.
Amanda, Kate, and Darienne could see that the spotlight was off them since the new girls came to town.
(A/N: Sorry for the interruption, but before we move on, the OC's names are derived from something very meaningful.
Amanda shares a name with the first Queen Bitch I came to know who was all high and mighty, acting just like someone you'd see from mean girls. She got kicked out of our school by fifth grade.
Kate is pretty much the same, but doesn't think high and mighty. She's just shallow and likes to insult people.
Darienne is non-existent; she originally came from a book called 'flight #116 is down'. She's an apathetic, stuck-up little witch, who gets all the glory,
Anyway, back to the story ;)
"Well, what do you think? They're climbing to the top of the food chain, Amanda, and it's only been a week." Kate said, flipping her pigtailed hair. She held her reputation of being the 'cute' one from the three, but to some people, (ehem Larxene and co.) she just looked even more like an over decorated poodle.
"Obviously, we've got to do something about it."
"Don't look at me." Darienne muttered.
"Forget it. I've got an idea anyway. I just need the right opportunity." Amanda said slowly, watching the table where the new girls sat.
"Obviously, he's slow on the uptake, and you're just freaking slow." Marluxia said.
Yazoo pouted. The two were walking, while the infamous pink corvette was with Aerith. For reasons only known to the brunette, Aerith had decided to borrow said Chevrolet Corvette so Yazoo and Marluxia had to walk.
It wasn't bad, really, although Marluxia still wondered why her sister had to borrow HER car when she has a perfectly good maroon JaguarXK8.
But going back to the original topic, Yazoo was talking with Marluxia about the very infamous, very irritating, and now monotonous subject of… Reno.
"What do I do?" Yazoo whined.
"Four simple words, my friend. Tell. Him. The TRUTH!!!" Marluxia practically screamed out the last word, making an uncannily good impression of Robin Williams.
"How can you find it so easy? Oh right, because you aren't plagued by the curse of liking people to the point of wanting to take them to b-" "Okayyy, let's not get to that." Marluxia interrupted.
"The point is, you haven't had a crush since… ever. How can you know what it's like?" Yazoo stated.
"I've had a crush before." Marluxia said defensively.
"On Orlando Bloom. That doesn't count." Yazoo declared.
The two crossed a bridge over the river; a quicker way to Marluxia's house, and just for a moment, Marluxia stared down at the hazy water contemplatively.
"It's nice." The brunette said. "What?" "The water. Plus it's quiet. Around here, I mean."
"That's nice." Yazoo said half-heartedly.
Axel wouldn't admit it. He would NEVER admit it, not to anyone. But…
He liked Marluxia. Nah, that was an understatement.
Somehow, Marluxia's ever-constant cynicism satisfied Axel's everyday needs. It amused him to a point that he found himself anticipative of every time he was able to see Marluxia's deep blue eyes and her sakura hair.
But if he ever told this to anyone, he'd probably jump off a cliff after, or more likely, before that ever happened.
Yazoo was right. Marluxia had never had a crush on anyone before. No girl, no guy had ever caught her eye. (I rhymed XD)
It didn't bother her before, but now that she thought about it…
"Marluxia! You've got visitors!" Aerith's voice rang from the shop up to her room, and Marluxia jumped up in surprise.
She pulled on her padding as quickly as possible, then a dark pink shirt over her upper body. Running down the stairs, she stopped in her tracks when she saw who was there to see her.
"Hey, Pinky." Axel said coolly, standing by Larxene who raised her hand in a batting gesture that was probably supposed to be a greeting, if the blonde hadn't been focused on whomever she was talking to on her portable phone.
"What?" Marluxia said, less than graciously, earning a somewhat scolding look from Aerith which she ignored.
"Gotta go, mom; I'm talking with Marluxia. Who's she? Someone you'd probably rather have for a daughter. B-bye now." Larxene clicked off her phone just as Marluxia could hear screaming on the other end.
"So, anyway… Let's go!" Larxene declared. "Go where?" Marluxia demanded irritably, looking bewildered.
"Out." Larxene replied shortly.
"So you expect me to go with you wherever the hell you're going with no heads up or warning whatsoever?" Marluxia said.
Larxene and Axel looked at each other and nodded.
There was about a moment of silence.
"Fine." Marluxia muttered, going back up the stairs.
Axel and Larxene grinned in triumph.
"Come on, pick up…" Yazoo mumbled, her ear pressed to the phone. After a fourteenth ring, she gave up.
Marluxia didn't say she had plans… Yazoo thought. "Am I really so pathetic that I've got nothing to do on a Friday night?" She said out loud to her whitewashed ceiling.
Yazoo ignored the 'YES' that came from Kadaj in the next room.
When the doorbell rang, Yazoo ignored that too. Until Loz knocked on her door.
"Hey, uh- sis, there's someone here to see you." He said, somewhat uneasily, Yazoo could tell.
If it were Marluxia, Loz wouldn't have gone through the lengths of knocking on the unlocked door, so Yazoo changed quickly before coming out.
There stood three girls, whom Yazoo recognized from school.
"Hi there, Yaz! Remember me? Amanda, from your History class?" The middle female said in an obnoxiously perky voice.
"Uh, yeah, hi." Yazoo said uncertainly, folding her arms over her chest.
"Have you got any plans tonight?" Amanda asked, a little more than graciously.
dundundundun!!!!!!!!!!! Uh yeah, it'll be bad... XD
Oh, and the robin williams thing, you know the Aladdin movie right?
Well anyway, it'll be hell week soon.
The more interesting part's coming up, in which Marluxia gets something before Yazoo, and Yazoo bitches.
Enough said.
