Chapter 5: What Happens When You Have Roommates

I sat there for a second, still creeped out by that one red, chilling eye. Then I overheard a remark Stella made to Dina.

"I can't believe he did that."

"Did what?" I asked coming over.

"What! How did you not hear? Joe just put up the entire park as the grand prize for the cup."

"Really? Wow. That is some grand prize."

"Yeah, but the sad thing is… he never told any of the staff members about this. Not even the staff leaders…" At this she walked off, back into the building. As I looked up into the darkening sky, a staff member in blue approached me.

"Excuse me, are you Derrick?"

"Yeah… how'd you know?"

"Seeing as you're the only one out here…" I looked around to find the town abandoned, and the staff member continued. "We've assigned all the fighters participating in the cup hotel rooms."

"Oh? Okay then. Well, I guess I'll grab my bags and head in… oh shoot!" I spun around, looking towards the helipad, and saw nothing. "Where'd Elasmo and my stuff go?"

"Well, you see, to start the opening ceremony, we had to move your things. So both your luggage and your Vivosaur have been sent to your room already."

"What about Bob?"

"Err…"

"Never mind, I'll deal with it later." I said, saving him from any explaining. He nodded, and without further discussion, led me up the stairs of the Fighter Station and onto a floor with many rooms. I was assigned number 7, and he handed me the key card, and left. I swiped it in and pulled on the door knob. The handle wouldn't budge. I tried it again, to no avail. Frustrated, I was about to try a third time, when suddenly the door opened. Missing my mark, I fell inside and landed on top of someone. I jumped up, uttering apologies, but the person, who I could now tell was a girl, mumbled out a simple response.

"Better you bumping into me than breaking down the door." She walked off, and plopped down on the couch. Despite the fact that I could tell she wasn't in a good mood, I decided not to pry, and went around, searching for my bags. I walked over to a door right of the front entrance. However, at that moment a brown-haired girl stepped out from it in her pajamas, which solved my third problem, of where I was going to sleep.

"Hi! You must be our other roommate! My name's Kelsey, and that's Thea. My boyfriend Primacron's in the other room over there." She pointed towards a door exactly opposite to the one we were standing in front of. I nodded to her, and introduced myself.

I then asked, "Is there anyone else rooming here?"

"Nope. Just the four of us."

"Oh. Okay." After that, I stalked off to the kitchen to find something to eat, figuring my things would be past the other door. I stuck a pot on the stove and put water in, then went and plopped own on the couch next to Thea. She shifted over a bit, but otherwise took no notice of me. She continued playing what I now realized was a game, and I grabbed another controller, immediately dropping myself in.

"Hey! What'd you think you're doing?" She paused and glared at me.

"What? I have nothing to do until my food is ready. Why can't I play?"

"Because, I'm playing!"

"But the game will go faster if there are two people playing."

"Faster to die, maybe."

"Come on. Just until my food is ready?"

She huffed out a "Fine." and continued the game. I could see now why she didn't want me interrupting her gameplay. She blasted through everything with almost no effort at all, and receiving minimal, if any damage. I was no novice, however, and jumped right in, almost competing with her the entire stage. When we finally reached the boss at the end, it didn't stand a change. We were both trying to land the finishing blow so hard that in no time, the boss's HP was totally gone. And of course, as video games usually are, you can never quite tell who finished it.

"I obviously hit it last!"

"Please, you weren't even close!"

"Closer than you were!"

"What are you talking about, I was right underneath it!"

"What are the two of you yapping about?" A voice behind us yawned, and its owner shuffled over to the fridge, grabbing something before shutting the door.

"Well, this guy here thinks he beat the boss when I was obviously the one who hit it first." Thea proclaimed.

"Whatever, I'm getting my food." But my trip to the stove was in vain, as I found nothing, there. I looked around and saw a bowl lying on the table, and picked it up. It was freezing cold.

"What happened to the noodles I was making?" I asked in surprise.

"Oh, that?" The boy laughed. "I turned off the stove hours ago while the two of you were inside that game of yours." He chugged his cup of milk, tossing it in the sink, and walked off. Thea and I just stared at each other, before laughing. We continued for a few minutes, until my sides started hurting. I walked back over to the couch, and sat down to rest myself. Thea smiled at me.

"Well, that must have been the most intense game I've ever played. Good job, Derrick. Not many can keep up with me for that long."

"Same to you, Thea." As if all of a sudden realizing how late it was, we scrambled to get to bed. Reaching the left door, I entered and saw a pile of my luggage, and my Elasmo Medal on top, on a bed. I looked to my right and saw Primacron sleeping in a bed identical to the one in front of me. I pulled things off, grabbing my toothbrush and heading off to the bathroom. A few minutes later, I was resting comfortably in my bed, with only a vague recollection of the day's events as I drifted off to sleep.

Alright guys, you know the drill! Afrter you read, review, and don't be afraid to tell me if I messed something up!
