Ice: Alright another new chapter! Sorry it took so long.

With time getting closer to lunch, a starving Valon wondered if he could hold out until Alister finished the yard. Already Valon had swept, placed everything neatly on shelves, and polished all three bikes. It still wasn't enough as Alister seemed to take his time raking. He wondered how Raphael was doing in the house. Knowing him, he had already finished and was enjoying his lunch and a movie. So not fair, thought Valon.

In the house, just as Valon thought, Raphael was finishing up cooking lunch for everyone. He wasn't sure when they were coming in so he decided to leave it on the stove on low heat. Grabbing his meal, he set off down the hall to the den where his new movie waited for him.

Alister was outside in the yard grumbling. He knew Valon would be coming out soon and he wasn't sure how to get him back. All he had to work with was a rake and leaves. Rake. Leaves. Excellent, thought Alister.

Wasting no time, he set about to find a good spot to bury the rake. He knew he would make a run for the front door so he looked for a decent spot. After following the expected path Valon would take, he set the rake down and started piling the leaves on it. Making it as unnoticeable as possible, he scattered all the leaves and walked over to the tree.

As soon as he sat down, Valon poked his head out the door. Looking like a frightened rabbit, he took cautious steps out the door and looked around. He saw Alister sitting in front of the tree.

"What's the matter with you? You act like someone's trying to kill you", Alister called to him.
"Yeah, and that someone is you!"
"Me? Nah, I have better things to do with my time."
"I hope so."

He continued walking to the front door. Almost five feet away, his foot struck something hard. He knew it had to be Alister's plan. He turned around to yell at him.

"So you thought you could get me with that old trick?", he asked.

Just as he turned around, his foot stepped on the rake. It came up fast as lightning and caught him right between the eyes. His hands flew up to cover his face.

"Ow! Damn you, Al! I hate you!", he screeched.
"Now you know the pain I felt when you decided to dye my hair for me!"
"Grr...Come here!", he yelled as he ran after him.
"Oh snap... Not good", thought Alister as he realized he had no where to run.

A rabid Valon was charging at him and all he had was a tree. Better make like a monkey and climb, Alister thought as he jumped for the nearest branch.

"Get down here! That tree won't help you! Where's my chainsaw?" continued Valon.
"Chainsaw? Oh shit... Raphael! Raph, help me!" whined Alister.

Enjoying his movie, Raphael forgot all about the other two boys. He was perfectly content without the fighting, or was until he heard a chainsaw start up. Eh? Must be the neighbors, he thought.

"Aaaaghhhhh! Raphael! Someone! Anyone! Help!"

Hearing the girlish scream, Raphael ran for the door. He saw a blonde figure in the tree and Valon attacking with a chainsaw. Oh great, he thought as he ran outside.

"Valon! What are you doing? Stop!" he called to him.
"No! He's going to pay!"
"Agh! Help!" whined Alister.
"Don't worry ma'am! I'll get him!"
"Damn it, Raph! It's me!"
"Umm... I'm sorry, Al, it's just... You know... You do look like a girl."
"That's it. I'm going to kick both of your asses when I get down!"

Just then the chainsaw died.

"Oh crap...", said Valon and Raphael.
"Ha! No!" called Alister as he slipped out of the tree.
"Wait! What about a peace offering?", asked Raphael.
"Like what?" said Alister as he got up.
"Valon fixes your dinner and I'll dye your hair back to magenta. What do you say?"
"Hmm... Ok. That hurt anyway."
"You just wait...", mumbled Valon.
"What was that?", asked Raphael.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing."

That night Valon was in the kitchen fixing Alister his favorite dinner and Raphael was helping dye his hair. It might stay a peaceful night now. I hope so anyway, thought Raphael.

"Ow! That was a tangle!" screeched Alister.
"Sorry...not...", grumbled Raphael.

Ice: So what do you think? Is it good? I hope so. Please review and tell me what you think!
