Ice: So I really have no idea for this chapter so let's just see where my typing takes us. Sound good?
The day after the plushy Hello Kitty incident was turning out to be fairly uneventful in the same way that a volcano popping up in the middle of downtown Los Angeles is uneventful. Raphael as usual was trying to ignore Valon's rambling about paranoia in the living room while Alister was working on something in the garage.
"You know it's not really paranoid if they really are out to get you, right?" whimpered Valon.
"Mhmm…" came the reply.
"I mean, he has been trying to get me, I'm not imagining that. I'm not crazy, am I?"
"Mhmm…"
"Raph! You're not even listening!"
"Oh, what? I'm sorry. What was the question?"
"Am I crazy?"
"…No… Of course not…"
In the garage, Alister was working on his plan. Valon dared to humiliate him with his Hello Kitty doll, now he was going to get his own shameful doll. Alister had recently bought some fabric to sew together and some stuffing to make the new toy. He looked through the colors of red, black, and yellow and glanced back at the picture he tacked up to follow as a guide.
We'll see how he feels about this one…"
Valon continued to worry himself until he became tired. It was only early afternoon, but he worked himself up to the point it felt like it was midnight. He started to glance around the room nervously again.
"If I take a nap, will you stay with me and keep an eye out for Al?" he asked.
"Mhmm…"
"Promise?"
"Mhmm…"
"Okay."
"Mhmm…"
Valon stretched out on the couch not noticing Raphael's state of obliviousness once again. Raphael glanced up a few minutes later and noticed the boy asleep on the couch.
About time I got some peace. He just wouldn't shut up. Well, guess it's time to make myself some lunch.
He got up humming to himself and walked into the kitchen. Alister took the opportunity to walk into the living room and place the doll under Valon's arm. He quickly left the room before Raphael walked back in.
Raphael didn't even notice the extra toy sitting on the couch. He went back to eating his sandwich and reading his book. Valon continued to sleep for the next hour and a half and woke up suddenly when the hair of the doll tickled his nose.
"What is this…? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" he screamed as he looked at the perfect doll of Yugi.
"Hmm?" Raphael asked.
"WHAT IS THIS? HOW DID IT GET HERE? WHERE DID IT COME FROM?"
"I thought it was yours…"
"WHY THE BLOODY HELL WOULD I HAVE A DOLL OF YUGI?"
"Why do you have a doll of Hello Kitty?"
"…Touché…"
Laughter could be heard from the hall.
"ALISTER! I'LL KILL YOU!"
He took off after the red-headed boy. Raphael couldn't help, but look at the doll. It was of pretty good quality and could probably be sold to that Teá girl… Or even Joey… He shuddered at the thought.
"Why the hell would you do that? That was cruel!" Valon screamed as he cornered Alister.
"Hey! Raph didn't notice it there or try to take it from you! Go yell at him!"
"You're right… That bastard…"
"Mhmm… What do you say we have a truce…? He got you with the doll and he taped me screaming like a girl. It's time he paid."
"Yeah…"
They both grinned as they knew the perfect way to get him. They returned to the living room and Raphael saw the looks on their faces.
"Oh…shit…"
Ice: Bit of a short chapter I just wrote up before work. Didn't have any real direction to go with, but I think it sets up the next chapter perfectly. Review if you likey!
