Oh look, it's an extra. You guys didn't get one of these in like twenty chapters.

Anyway, this isn't nearly as long as the last one, but I hope you appreciate it anyway. The reason why it exists is because of Lovepuppy316 bringing up Anton's red hair, which ended up sparking quite a reaction with some other reviewers -cough- By the way, this takes place sometime in the future, after they all find out Jack's secret.

It was a normal day at Jamie's house, other than the fact that all of Jack's friends were visiting, which evidently didn't happen too often. Cody and Anton were both sitting on the couch watching a movie, while Zander and Spencer were sitting on the floor playing a card game with Jamie, at the latter's insistence. As for Jack, he was sitting on the sill, looking out the window, seemingly pondering about something.

After a while, he abruptly spoke up, "Hey Anton, can I ask you something?"

Everyone else was so engrossed in their activities, they weren't expecting the sudden question. Zander, Spencer, and Jamie looked up from their game and Cody paused the movie he and Anton were watching.

"Uh, sure, I guess?" Anton answered tentatively, turning to look at Jack. "What's up?"

"Are you Asian? Because you look like it."

Anton raised an eyebrow at that bizarre inquiry. To be honest, he was expecting a much less random topic to be brought up. "Yeah, why? I thought everyone here knew that already."

"You're Asian?" Zander seemed unnecessarily surprised, dropping a couple of the cards he was holding. "I thought you were white."

"His name's Suzuki though. That sounds more Asian, specifically Japanese, than American," Spencer argued.

"Yeah, what he said," Cody agreed. "And just take a look at this dorky face and I dare you to tell me that it looks more white than Asian." He took a hand and grabbed Anton's face, pinching both of his cheeks.

Anton, completely unamused, pried Cody's hand off of him.

"Wait, why are we making a big deal out of this again?" Jamie questioned, apparently the only levelheaded person in the room at the moment.

"Beats me. They're probably just being racist." Anton shrugged nonchalantly, promptly ignoring the offended looks all his friends (except for Cody) were giving him.

"We're not racist!" Zander complained. "It's not our fault that your ethnicity is so confusing!"

"What's so confusing about it?"

"You say that you're Asian, but clearly some people are confusing you to be white," Jack explained, finally turning his head to look at him. "I don't blame them. Your face looks Asian, but you have that red hair going on."

"The red hair came from my mom."

"And your mom has red hair because...?" Spencer pressed.

"My mom's white," Anton stated, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "My day's Japanese. They're both of a different race. I'm half-white and half-Japanese. I got the face from my dad and the hair from my mom. Sheesh, I thought that at least one of you would've considered that possibility by now."

"I always thought your hair was dyed," Cody admitted.

"What?!" Anton looked at Cody indignantly.

"Hey, I'm just saying, your hair doesn't look natural," Cody continued casually, acting like he didn't notice Anton taking offense to that.

"Alright, this conversation is over," Jack declared, not wanting a storm to break out. "I was just wondering. Excuse me for questioning it and causing an unnecessary annoyance."

And that was it. Jack resumed his brooding, Cody and Anton continued on with their movie, and Zander and Spencer went on with their card game with Jamie (Jamie won). The subject of Anton's race was never brought up again that day.

So there you have it. A little drabble. I hope you're satisfied, Julia.

It's been so long since I wrote something as short as this. It feels good.

Oh boy, I just love how everyone is dying to see the guys all confronting Jack, and I'm just stalling it just because I feel like it XD But seriously guys, the confrontation thing isn't supposed to happen until like a few chapters later.

Replies:

MadlyMagical: Yes, but I was grinning smugly as I was typing that, because everyone else is stuck at school while I'm just chilling :P

feathered moon wings: Well I updated two days in a row now, so be happy. Though I'm not sure if this counts because this isn't really an official chapter. And I'll be giving Cici some character flaws later on. Don't worry.

freedominafallenworld: Well if you recall the earlier chapters, you already knew Pitch was returning XD And yes, killing my readers is my goal here. It's fun :P I want to say something, but it involves a spoiler, so I'll keep my lips sealed.

Ynona: What are you talking about, I love your review. I get what you're saying about Cody, and I actually find him like that as well. And you actually found To Have a Home through this story? Wow, it's usually the other way around :D Believe it or not, I liked Warm Bodies. But then again, I'm not Jamie or you, so :P

Frosty3.0: ...What. You thought I wouldn't read your review? I'm so offended D: Haha, just kidding. Seriously though, I read all my reviews. It's pretty hard to ignore any reviews I get when I check my email like ten times everyday and get a notification every time. Plus, I like reviews, so why wouldn't I read?

agent000: Haha, thanks for the help offer, but I think I'm good at this moment :P I already know what flaws I want to give her. I guess Cici is just hesitant to talk about her illegitimate birth because she's more of the careful type. It has nothing to do with her ethnic background whatsoever. But just to answer your question, Cici is part-Italian on her mother's side due to her ancestry.

akizaki14: No worries, it's fine :D And a Mary Sue is a character—a girl—who seems to be perfect and does not have any flaws. And even though it won't seem like it at first, that's a pretty bad thing, because readers prefer characters that they can relate to, because nobody's perfect in real life. Trust me, literally everyone I know strongly dislike Mary Sues, and I have a feeling that's one of the many reasons why people hate Twilight so much. The male version is called a Gary Stu.

DjinnAtwood: ...Hell's Angels. I love that name. Those four will be known as the Hell's Angels from now on.

Blue Torpedo: It is, but it's not playing in the cinema anymore. It was released back in February shortly before Valentine's Day. The DVD is about to come out on June 4 though.

Dude: Tell your friends that just because it's animation doesn't mean it's only for kids. I personally believe that animation is the only type of movie that's suited for everyone, whether you're 8 or 68. Everyone can enjoy it. If your friends have a nice comeback for that, I'd like to hear it.

Hatsu Yukiya: I WILL NOT STOP WITH THE PRAISE. Oh yeah, Zander, Spencer, Cody, and Anton are the Hell's Angels, while Cody and Anton are the Crouton Pairing. That's a wonderful idea. Anton's favorite food ought to be croutons. And no, you're not the first one to begin shipping them together. Just look through my reviews page and you'll know. You know you're mainly the reason why this extra was written? I had originally given him the last name Suzuki because I ran out of last names and couldn't get Japanese surnames out of my mind, but then a few chapters later, after I decided to give him red hair, I decided that he really should genuinely be Asian. And then I see you freak out over this, hehe. And thus, I was inspired with this little snippet. And you better not die on me, where am I gonna get my quality writing from if you do ._.

RandomKrazyPerson: Half of the stuff in my favorites list is pretty much abandoned for life, so you're not alone XD

Review please!
