Jupiter: Hey guys! I'm back! :D Sorry for the delay in the chapter. I had a very busy break (mostly watching all 5 season of Psych on netflixs). Anyway, I present to you the next chapt-Alister, where are you going with that cap gun?
Alister: *looks at gun* No where.
Jupiter: Will you please do the disclaimer?
Alister: Jupiter doesn't own Yugioh or her beta. She owns her OC's.
Raphael: And she would also like to add that all translations will be at the end of the chapter.
Jupiter: Please Review!
The early morning at the biker's house was peaceful for a change; supposedly, it would be far too early to get into mischief.
…Supposedly.
Valon was awoken by the sound of a cap gun going off next to his ear and he let out a scream (that also caused other members of the household to fall out of their own beds). "Holy shit!"
He sat bolt upright in bed and glared up at the figure holding the weapon. "Alister, you jackass. Why did you wake me up? You nearly gave me a 'eart attack!"
"Skye wanted me to get you out of bed. She said something about going on an errand with you today."
"At this hour? I don' care if she's Raphael's girlfriend, I am not goin' to—'ey! Where are ya goin'?" he asked, noticing that the redhead was already halfway out of the room.
"I've seemed to stop caring."
"Oy! Just don't let Raphl know about whatever it is that you plan on doing to Skye in revenge." Valon hollered at the retreating red head.
Raphael woke up to the sound of a gun going off, followed by Valon's alarmed scream; naturally he was startled and rolled off his bed and landed on the floor—well, sort of. He was pretty certain that the air mattress he had landed on had not been there before.
His attention went to the door as Alister walked through it. "Let me guess. You fired the gun?" he asked, standing up and brushing himself off.
"Yeah. I figured you would fall out of your bed and I took the liberty to cushion your fall," Alister replied easily.
"And I'm much appreciative for that. I'm surprise that didn't wake Skye up though," he said, raising an eyebrow.
"She's been up for a while. She's in the kitchen at the moment, feeding Misha and Jasper, and making coffee, I think."
"At this hour?"
"Valon shares your sentiments. It's far too early for her to be awake."
"…Why did you fire the cap gun?"
"Skye wants to do something with Valon. She said something about some errand."
Raphael's POV (Later on in the day)
"What are you reading?" I asked as I walked into the living room. I had been heading back to the office when I had noticed the redhead sitting on the sofa with a book.
"I would think this would be obvious," he said sarcastically.
I rolled his eyes and walked into the office. "Sarcasm wasn't necessary."
"Deal with it," he retaliated. "What time are they coming home?"
"Should be about now," I said, just now sitting down at my desk.
"I hope he's late. I like this tranquility—we never get it."
At that very moment the door got kicked open and a visibly angry Valon stormed inside the house.
"You spoke too soon, Alister," I said, poking my head through the door.
"I can' freakin' believe this!" he hollered, storming upstairs.
"Valon! Come on!" Skye called, her entrance much calmer than Valon's. I noticed that she was carrying some shopping bags. "You're being ridiculous!"
"What's going on? What did you do to piss him off?" Alister asked, looking over at her. "He's never that angry at you."
"Why are you blaming me?" she said defensively. "I did it for the best—"
"Skye, no offense, but whenever you do that things get worse."
"Enough!" I said, raising my voice and effectively ending the argument. "Now what is going on?"
"It's her stinkin' fault!" Valon said, pointing at Skye as he leaned over the railing.
"What did you do, Skyler?"
"All I did was take him to the mall to get him new clothes-"
"'n' it 'appened to be the same store that Wheeler shops at!"
Alister let out a laugh, "That's great!"
"Shut it Alister! You know 'ow much I 'ate 'im!" Valon snarled, "'n' she embarrassed me!"
"I didn't mean to! How was I supposed to know Serenity was going to be there?"
"You 'ave that girly telepathy thing going on. That's why!"
"You're being ridiculous!" Skye screamed back.
"You embarrassed me in front of 'er!"
I was about to reply when we heard Valon's door slam shut. "It looks like you got your tranquility back Alister," I laughed.
"How was your day?" Skye asked, walking up to me and giving me a kiss.
"Pretty eventful. It was pretty quiet around here. Got some work done, so I'm a week ahead on the paper work."
"Yay!" Skye exclaimed, jumping up and wrapping her arms around my neck, "More Raphael time for me!"
I chuckled and untangled her from me.
"Get a room," Alister barked, not looking up from his book.
"Why are you so moody? You kissed Lola, didn't you?" Skye asked, a knowing look in her eye. "Don't lie, Ember and I saw you two."
"And got a picture!" Ember exclaimed, sliding out from the chimney.
Alister's eye twitched. "You better not post that—"
"Too late," she responded, a goofy grin on her face.
Before Alister could stand up to try and strangle her, a loud beeping sound began emanating from Ember's pocket.
"Crap! My kitty's on the loose again! Bye!" called Ember cheerfully, easily crossing the room and out the window before Alister could get to his feet.
Alister now looked over at Skye, glaring at her. "Do you have a copy of that photo?"
"Nah. I'm not touching Ember's stuff—it might explode," Skye said nonchalantly, going upstairs. "I'll be back down to start dinner later," she continued as she disappeared up the stairs.
Seconds later there was a loud thump and a startled animal whine. "Crap! Sorry Jasper! I didn't see you there!"
Alister rolled his eyes, and I looked at the stairs concerned. "You alright?" I called up to her.
"Yeah, I'm fine Raphael," she assured. "No worries!"
"She's a klutz," Alister smirked, taking out his cell phone and looking at it when it beeped. "And don't deny it, Raphael. You know it's true."
I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I prefer to use the term 'accident prone'."
"Good. You admit it," Alister said, going quiet as he read the text message.
"That from Lola?"
"Yeah. She wants me to come over to her house for dinner. Apparently her grandparents are in town again and they want to meet me," Alister replied, pocketing it after typing out a reply. "I'll see you lot later."
"Have fun," I said, watching the red-haired man walk over to the door and grabbing his coat.
Alister shot me a thumbs-up but did not turn around as he walked out the door.
"Where's Alister?" Skye asked when she came back down. She'd changed into some more comfortable clothing, switching out her jeans for a pair of black yoga pants and a baggy t-shirt. Her hair was up in a messy ponytail.
"Just left for Lola's," I explained, walking over and looking down at her.
"So we have the house to ourselves?" she asked, looking up at me, "-minus Valon who's blasting him music."
"It seems like it," I chuckled, "We never get time like this, just the two of us. Anything you want to do in particular?"
"Well," Skye started, a suggestive look in her eyes, "What I would want to do that involves a blanket and pillows."
"What would that be?"
"Well I thought it would be obvious," she giggled.
"…Skyler, your father would murder me."
It took her a moment, but then she flushed. "No, not that. Oh good Lord, that's not what I meant!" she yelped, turning red. "What made you think that?"
"Well what else would we be doing with pillows and blankets?"
"Building a fort, what else?" she asked, sticking her tongue out. "Where's your mind at?"
"I was aware that it was still in my head."
Skye glared at me.
"Alister's sarcasm is rubbing off on me," I replied, running a hand through my hair. "I'm sorry. To be fair, though, you were vague."
"I guess I should've been more specific," she agreed, smiling at me. "So, about that fort?"
I chuckled. "You never cease to amuse me, Skye."
Normal POV
"I'm back," Alister called, walking into the house. He bent down to pet Jasper, who had come to greet him, but when he did not see anyone else he frowned. "Skye? Raphael?"
Valon was still out, but Raphael and Skye should still be at—
"Let me up, Raphael!" Skye's voice growled from the living room.
"Oh, I don't think so," came Raphael's amused response.
"Come on! You're bigger than I am and you're hurting me!"
"I believe that is the whole point behind this, isn't it?"
Alister paused. What in the name of—no, surely they weren't doing what he thought they were doing, were they?
"Ouch!" moaned Skye suddenly.
"Are you alright?"asked Raphael's concerned voice.
"Yeah, but next time watch where your head is at. Oh, I knew we should've used more pillows and blankets…"
"What the hell is going on in here?" Alister asked, stalking into the living room. He stopped in his footsteps when he came face to face with the fort, pillows and blankets making up its components.
"Oh, welcome home Alister!" Skye smiled, poking her head out from the fort.
"Dare I ask what you're doing?"
"Skye was teaching me how to play a video game—which I just beat her at," Raphael replied with a grin, coming out of the fort to grab one of the water bottles. Skye followed after, looking annoyed.
"Did not!" she snapped, smacking him. "And what is up with you, Alister?"
"Oh, nothing—besides the fact that I basically walked in the house and thought you were having a passionate love-making session."
The other two both blinked before flushing. "Sh-shut up!" Skye almost shrieked, burying her head in her hands.
"How did it go with Lola's grandparents?" Raphael asked, clearly trying to change the subject.
"It went well, but the next Spanish-speaking person to cross my path will end up severely maimed."
A smirk appeared on Skye's face and she said innocently, "Veo, tuviste un mal tiempo? Oo! Pensaban que eras un niña?"
Alister's face darkened and they were both convinced that steam was coming out of his ears. "I might not know entirely what you said, but I believe you just implied I was a woman."
"I called you a girl, to be exact," Skye said, sticking her tongue out. She squeaked as the red head lunged towards her and she ducked behind Raphael.
"Don't even think about it, Alister," Raphael responded wearily. "No physical harm is to be brought against my girlfriend, you know that."
"Like I'd ever hit a girl?"Alister countered, turning to leave. He paused and looked back over at Skyler with a mischievous grin."Oh, by the way, Skye. Did you enjoy the new scent of your deodorant?"
"That was you? I yelled at Valon for that!" she replied, poking her head out from behind Raphael. "FIEND!" she continued as she pointed at him, glaring at the red-head.
"Didn't I tell you that if you play with fire you'll get burned?"
"It's not fair! It took me two days to get that smell off me."
"So that's why you were avoiding me," Raphael mused.
"Indeed it was. What? Did you think you did something bad?" she questioned, eyeing the blond.
"No," he said in reply. "I figured it was a really good reason that you were avoiding me."
Skye just rolled her eyes as Valon came down the stairs, carrying down a box of explosives (and earning a few startled glances).
"I see someone is doing better," Raphael mentioned, eyeing the box with trepidation.
"Where do you think you're going with those?" Skye questioned.
"I'm taking these over to Ember's. I 'aven't seen 'er in a while 'n' I figured she would want these."
"As long as those explosive devices are out of the house we don't care what you do with them."
Valon started to walk out the door, only to freeze when his eyes landed on the fort. "You made a fort and didn't tell me?" he asked, sounding outraged.
"Go get rid of those things and then you can come back!"
Next Day…
"I don't think we should leave Skyler at home, ever again," Alister said, walking into towards the house following the blond.
The two of them just came back from the grocery store only to find that Skyler had decorated the inside of the house. There was holly everywhere, garland, nutcrackers, and the tree was already up and decorated. There were poinsettias around the house and the stockings were hung over the fire place.
"I second you on that," Raphael calmly stated, placing the groceries on top of the counter. He paused when he found Misha on top of the kitchen cabinets. "How in the world did she get up there?" he wondered, reaching up and scooping up the kitten.
A blur flew past them, cackling madly as it knocked over Alister and disappeared out the kitchen door with a wild yell.
The redhead looked after him with a sigh. "That was Valon, wasn't it," he said with a sigh.
"Indeed it was."
"Christmas candy?"
"Ember, most likely."
"Ah. Should we catch him?"
Raphael glanced over at Skye as she stalked into the room with an over-sized butterfly net. "I think we'll leave that to Skye," he said, letting her pass him as she stomped outside.
Two minutes had not even passed when the same blur came running into the kitchen, this time, knocking Raphael over.
"Where did he go this time?" Skye asked, returning into the kitchen.
"You're guess is as good as ours. Where's the net?" Raphael asked.
"Valon broke it," she sighed, going to the fridge and opening a bottle of water. The female biker had a confused look on her face as she looked up at the red head. "Can I help you?"
"What have we told you about allowing Ember into the house with candy?" Alister scolded.
"Don't blame me, Alister. I thought she was out with her family," she said, glaring at the red-head.
Raphael could sense this would get ugly, so he stepped in between them. "Alister, I will grab the super soaker this time if you even threaten her. Skyler, don't antagonize Alister. It's pointless to argue with him."
The two bikers looked at each other before the redhead took off, Alister leaving the bags he carried in the kitchen.
"Do you like the decorations?" Skye asked, changing the topic and picking up Alister's bags, placing them on the counter.
The blond couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, "Yea. They're nice." He noticed that Skyler was helping him put the food away and placed a hand on her arm. "I got this, Skye."
"No. I wanna help," she smiled, pushing his hand off, smiling, "It isn't fair for you to do all this yourself."
A small smile appeared on his face as he kissed her head. He then looked down at her, a confused look on his face.
"Is something wrong?" she asked, looking up worriedly at the man.
"No, nothings wrong. It's just-how the heck do you manage to finish decorating in less than 3 hours?"
"Why is Alister really good at sneaking up on people like a ninja?" she questioned back, a smile on her face.
"Fair enough," he chuckled.
"I drink a Full Throttle energy drink before hand-which reminds me, I have to buy a new lock for my mini fridge…and find a good space to hide it. Valon is still somehow getting into it."
The two of them visibly flinched when they heard the sound of glass shattering (which was followed by Valon's mechanical laughter).
"Valon! Those aren't baseballs!" they heard Alister shout, which was followed by more mechanical laughter.
"I better go see what he broke," Skye said, walking out of the kitchen, but not before giving Raphael a kiss on the cheek.
He smiled as he watched her dash off, which vanished when he heard feet pounding around upstairs. He knew for a fact that Valon and Alister were somewhere on this floor, not upstairs.
This is no good, Raphael thought to himself.
What exactly was Skyler planning?
"Dinner will be ready in thirty minutes," he hollered to the other members of the house.
TRANSLATION TIME!
So here is the translation for
"Veo, tuviste un mal tiempo? Oo! Pensaban que eras un niña?" = "I see, did you have a bad time? Oo! Did they think you were a girl!"
What did you think? Please Review! :D
