Two weeks after TKO became real, and already things were upside-down for his brother's friends. The former alter-ego now had a job working at the bodega, but as KO's assistant. Mostly so he can watch over his little brother, and make sure he doesn't kill anyone. Enid and Rad were still a little uneasy about the whole thing, but they trusted KO can keep him former alternate persona from breaking everyone bone in Rad's body.
Today was now Sunday, which means there was no work today. While Rad and Enid were doing their own thing, KO decided to use this opportunity to get some brotherly bonding time with TKO.
TKO originally wanted to spray paint the side of the plaza or go to this fight club he found the other day, but his brother dismissed them because they were 'illegal'. So they ended up doing a nice simple game of mini golf at Lakewood Putters, a hero and villain themed mini golf course near the plaza.
The two near identical boys stood near the first hole, which was a simple straight away with dip at the end with a hole right in the middle of it, with their golf putters and golf balls in hand. KO had red, while TKO had black.
"Why did I agree to let you take me here again?" TKO complained, "I'm bored, you wouldn't like me when I'm bored!"
"Because mommy specifically said that we should have some nice brother bonding that DOESN'T result in us being incarcerated, besides mini golf is about having patience and control. And no offense TKO, but you're about as patient as a raging bull on energy drinks." KO replied.
TKO rolled his eyes at the comparison and the dumb idea of a baby sized sport as bonding, "Next time, I'm picking the activity."
"Okay, but please nothing that will end up burying a dead body."
"Why brother, it's like you don't trust me to be a perfect model citizen." he mockingly whined.
"You destroyed the entire plaza, and broke every one of Rad's bones!"
"Is he still on that, some people know how to hold a grudge. But why do 'they' have to be here?" the 'they' he was referring to were two girls that were watching them from a bench, Dendy and Fink.
"KO's mom thought it would be a good idea to have some extra security in case of any more of your damages, we wouldn't want a repeat of last week's 'Pizzeria Panic'." Dendy explained. TKO hmphed at the reminder, that statue had it coming. He then looked to the rat girl for her reason.
"I'm just here to watch my boyfriend whip you at mini golf." Fink snobbishly said, TKO growled and glared into KO's girlfriend. "And if you happen to harm my precious Cuddly Puppy Munchkin, I can deal with you myself like at Gar's."
"Only because you struck me in the TKOs!" he retorted, Fink just shrugged.
"Now TKO, I would like to point out that this is a friendly game strictly for you and KO to bond as brothers. Ergo, any and all acts of destruction are forbidden and will result in us getting kicked out." Dendy told him, he just grumbled and turned away with his arms crossed. "Now to determine which one will start first, we'll flip a coin." the kappa then flicked the coin into the air.
"Tails never fails/ Heads!"
Tails.
"KO, you're up first." Dendy announced.
"Yes!" KO cheered. TKO just frowned. Fink lightly snickered, Dendy sent her a look knowing that she switched the coin with a double sided tails coin.
KO then placed his ball at the start and got into position, "Alright, just like mommy said. Knees bent slightly, back straight, read the green, and follow through." he tapped the ball and sent it right to the hole. "YES! HOLE IN ONE!" KO cheered, Fink smiled at her boyfriend's little victory dance while Dendy wrote a 1 on the score card.
TKO just sighed as KO went to get his ball while he got ready, 'Okay TKO, this may be out of your comfort zone but just remember. Don't lose!'. "Knees bent, back straight, blah blah blah, SWING!" he screamed as he swung the club hard onto the ball, which sent it ricocheting all over the course. Everyone ducked as a crazy ball flew all over the place, until the ball hit an unsuspecting Pird and landed in the hole. He's fine.
"Okay, after the first hole it's all tied up with a hole in one a piece. Although for the rest of the game I advise TKO to not hit his ball like a madman, what if that ball hit someone important." Dendy told the smirking punk boy.
"Whatever mom!" TKO snickered as he got his ball from the hole.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, cause I feel he should be in a straight jacket for... ever" Fink questioned the kappa.
"I am 72% sure that today will not end in the hospitalization of anybody at the hands of TKO" Dendy responded as she and Fink followed the boys to the next hole.
The second hole had a winding way with a Laserblast statue in the middle.
"Good luck, babe." Fink wished her boyfriend before giving him a kiss on the cheek, to which caused his face to turn redder than a tomato with a sunburn. KO then readied his shot as Fink sat down next to Dendy.
"Well, speaking of...MISSING!"
GAH!
TKO shout made him swing a little too hard and wounded up hitting the statue missing the hole, everyone glared at TKO's act of cheating. "What?" he shrugged feigning innocently.
Dendy had to restrain a fuming Fink from strangling his friend's brother, "Keep it cool, Fink. But I am not surprised from your stunt TKO." she said with a pinch of disappointment, to which made TKO frown a little before setting his ball at the starting spot.
"Whatever". he said monotonously. He then readied his golf club, 'Okay, nice and easy. Not too hard like last time.' he thought as he gently tapped the ball, which sent it rolling at a less than snail's speed towards the statue. Each second felt like hours as the dark purple ball slowly made it's way down the hole, the three jaw dropped at this scene.
KO then giggled, "At least you can't say he's not trying." he joked.
The ball continued to roll unexplainable slow, in that time Dendy played a game of solitaire on her hack-pack. KO and Fink were watching a video of a dog chasing a garden hose. TKO growled as the ball finally made it past the statue hole and out of the other side still gently rolling towards the hole, the group circled around in anticipation. The ball inching ever so closer to the hole, so close TKO can almost taste a hole in-
Then it cut a tiny bit right and stopped.
The others sighed in frustration while TKO bit his putter furiously.
"OH COME ON, WHY YOU LITTLE !%#$&%# STUPID #&(**($ * SON OF A # $ *$~" everyone turned to see the little punk dressed kid in his swear-filled rant as he berated a tiny ball. KO and Dendy blushed in embarrassment that TKO was making a huge scene, Fink laughed in amusement. "YOU ##$$ BALL AND YOU ##$ HOLE! WHY I'LL-"
SLAP
"I suggest you shut that sailor mouth up before you get us banned for disturbing the peace." Dendy scolded TKO, who was rubbing the spot on his head where the kappa slapped in pretty hard. TKO lowly growled as he gently hit the ball in the hole before picking it up and stepping off the green. Dendy then wrote a two for TKO's score.
The group then went to the next hole after KO made it on his second shot. "Okay, the score is now three strokes to three heading into the third hole. And despite the attempt at cheating from a certain rage-induced human, -HEY!- clearly this is still anyone's game." Dendy narrated sounding like a golf announcer.
"Is the voice really necessary?" TKO questioned.
"It helps me feel calm when dealing with an annoying dunce like you." she answered with the voice.
"And I'm talking like this because it makes anything I say sound important." Fink added with the same tone, "Guava leotard."
TKO was now up after KO got a two on the hole, 'Okay, I'll split the difference and hit it just right. Not too hard, not too soft.' he thought as he got into position. "Knees bent slightly, back straight, read the green (blah), and follow throu-"
ACHOO
GAH
And he hits it way over the whole and into the streets, TKO then growled as he turned to the trio behind him and saw Fink casually whistling a tune. "THAT'S IT!" TKO snapped as he tackled the mutant rat to the ground and started punching her. KO and Dendy pulled him off her and tried to restrain the savage TKO.
"TKO! HEAL!" Dendy yelled but got shoved by the miniature war-machine along with KO, TKO then went back to fighting Fink as the two created a fight cloud. KO and Dendy got involved as well as the cloud went all over the course destroying everything in it's path.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
They stopped as they turned to see a steaming Carol with a whistle. "I leave for the ladies' room for two minutes and you already reduced the course to rubble!" she exclaimed as she walked over to the four.
"THEY STARTED IT!" they accused, Carol pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Come on boys," Carol said as she grabbed her sons by the ear, "Let's head home before the cops arrive."
"Gah, but what about the game?" KO asked while feeling his mother's fingers pinching hard onto his earlobe, TKO was trying to get out of his new mother's grasp as she dragged them away. Dendy and Fink following the Kincaids to Carol's car.
"Thanks to TKO's outburst, albeit because of somebody" she looked at Fink with narrowed eyes when she said that, who just shrugged innocently. "There is no course to play on, and because we are mostly banned from this establishment which will definitely be closed for repairs. The game is hereby over, and KO will get the win automatically because you never completed the hole." the kappa explain to TKO, who just hmphed in response.
"Oh glorp."
