So, I thought that I took too long to update, so this is just like a short story. And by the looks of the new chapter, this story might have one, two or maybe three more chapters to go. So, I thank you all for hanging in there, and being so patient with me. I might have taken a long time to update, but I got ideas for more stories. So, Carry On~
Allen, was walking downtown with Road, and of course, she was in disguise. Allen and Road walked by some stores that had candy in them. But not only did they walk by them, they went inside. It wasn't Allen's decision to go inside, but it was Road who pulled him along.
"Allen look, another store with candy, let's go!" Road didn't even let Allen respond, she just pulled him inside, and forced him to buy her something. Just as Allen walked inside, Road ran off somewhere, leaving Allen by himself.
"This is a robbery, put all of your money in the bag. And don't make any funny moves, or I'll pull the trigger." The voice was right behind him, and the person whispered into his ear so he won't make a scene. Allen acted quickly, so without thinking, he landed a solid punch on the offender. Allen heard a 'thud' from behind him, so he slowly turned to see who it was. The identity of the 'criminal', was none other than Lavi.
"Woah beansprout, I never knew that you knew how to protect yourself. I might not have tried to scare you if I did." Lavi was talking to Allen as if nothing had happened, but he did have a giant mark on his face to show that it did happen.
"What can I say, I have to be prepared in case something like this ever happens."
"Right, right. So what are you doing here all alone?"
"Waiting for Road. She went to go get candy, just like in every store we came across." Allen looked tired from having to keep entering stores, but Lavi didn't care, he just wanted to leave before he was dragged into it.
"Well, have fun with that. I hope that you'll still be alive tomorrow!" Just as Lavi was going to leave, Road caught him.
"Oh look, it's Lavi!" Road went running to Lavi and glomped him. Lavi fell to the ground and for the first time, saw how many bags Allen was carrying.
"Hey Road, I was just about to leave, it was good seeing you again!" Road looked at Allen, and saw how tired he was. So instead of letting him leave, she pulled him back and made it clear that he was going to help them out by carrying some bags. And once again, she went in many stores, came out with many bags in her hands, and dumped them on Lavi for him to carry.
"Road, how many more stores are you going to enter? And how much money do you plan on spending for candy?" Allen was now very annoyed and very exhausted, so he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Don't worry Allen, just a few more stores, and few more hundred dollars." With that, she went into the next store. And Allen got his phone out, leaving Lavi to wonder what he planned on doing. Allen dialed a number, and the call got through.
"Hey Tyki, come quick I need your help with something!"
"Allen? What happened, are you ok?!" Of course Tyki would worry about Allen, I mean, suddenly getting a call from someone saying that you needed to come quick, wouldn't anyone worry? Allen told Tyki where he was, so Tyki made it in record time, but when he arrived, Road was out of the store. And boy was she glad to see another pair of hands.
"Tyki, I'm glad that you're here! I was just running out of arm to help out with carrying these bags!" Tyki looked at Allen and saw that he knew exactly that this was going to happen.
"You little son of a-"
"Time for the next store!" And so, Road pulled her three bag carriers to the next store and made them wait there. This repeated for another hour, until she finally decided to call it a day.
"That's it for today, we should do this again tomorrow!" Road was walking with a bright and happy face.
"Hey Road, why do you get so much candy? It's not like you really need it." Road stopped in her tracks, and began to think about what to respond to Tyki.
"But I do need them, Tyki."
"But why do you need so much?"
"It should be obvious Tyki, it's because I hibernate." Lavi, Allen, and Tyki stopped moving and looked at Road.
'She's completely serious!?' The three of them were in complete shock to find out that Road hibernates.
"Is that why we don't have concerts in the winter?" Apparently Allen was the first to come back to reality, and he was also the first to accept the fact that Road is half bear. And then, the other two came back from their trances, but were hesitant in accepting the facts.
"So that's why we never see you in winter?" Tyki was doing the best that he can just so he can understand her secret. But what was troubling him was, how did she keep this a secret from them for so long?
"Where do you sleep, if Tyki and Allen don't know you hibernate." Lavi seemed interested in why Tyki and Allen didn't know about Road's secret, considering that they were the closest to each other than anyone else.
"I still slept in my room, and it's not like it was a secret to begin with! They just never bother to go to my house anymore!~" Road began to pout, and that's why Road is always seen with a candy or two.
And from then on, Tyki and Allen began to visit Road more often, just so they won't have to be surprised when Road decides to pull something on them again.
So yeah, that happened. I know it's short, but the real chapter is going to be around 14,000 words or so. That's only because I've missed that many weekends, so I have to make up for them. So, I hope you read the next chapter. Have a good day/night!~
