As long raphael and his brothers, could recall. Society would never accept them because they were different from the humans and yet, it is the humans forever desire what is different from themselves.
Create, hate and destroy that is different.
Sitting in the living room, holding a cold fresh beer in his left hand and watching the UFC match on CBN with his best friend, casy jones.
The pair, shouting and shoving eachother while watching the match. And close by, April with Rachel. Sitting at the dining table, enjoying thier girl chat while the children happily played until little RJ asked as he was intrigued by what his father was watching. "Mummy, can we watch what uncle casey and daddy is watching?"
Rachel looked over, smiled and cudped her son's cheek. "Of course you can. Go on." RJ happily skipped over and raphael smiled, scooped his son upon his lap and watched the match. RJ was immediately intrigued.
"It is so wonderful that the children can watch what theyre watching." rachel mused happily. April smiled, agreed. "Dont be surprised, theyd want to study martial arts."
"I thought they'd follow thier fathers footsteps regardless." rachel replied. "Well, it is most likely expected of them." April shrugged.
"Daddy, teach me how to fight." RJ glanced up to raphael. Both casey and raphael glanced eachother for a second and smiled as they glanced RJ. "How old is RJ, raph?" casey wondered curiously.
"Five, why Casey?"
"Five? Wouldnt he be learning already?" casey wondered. Raphael sighed. "Well, i was waiting for the right time."
"What do you mean? The right time? Werent you his age when you began?"
"Younger." raphael answered. "Oh?"
"What is stopping you raph?" casey asked. Raphael didnt answer right away at first, looked down to RJ as he looked up to him and waited. Caressed his little head smoothly and answered finally. "Time's were different back then. Not like it is now."
"True, true but time has changed." casey assured blindly. "Not as much we want, not all are accepting as you guys, casey."
Casey sighed defeated. Then, Casey had a idea strick him suddenly but quickly chuckled. "Maybe could try out for UFC."
Raphael glanced casey suddenly godsmacked then replied with a grin. "That is not a bad idea."
"It was a joke." casey tried to protest Suddenly realised raphael smirked. "Why are smiling like that?" casey glanced worried.
"You usually have the dumbest ideas. For once you made some sense."
Casey gazed wide eyed and protested, trying to discourage his friend. "It was a joke, raph. Not a good idea. Babe, alittle back up here."
April leaned back in her chair with one arm half fold hung over the back as she smiled. Rachel too. April replied. "Oh no, not this time casey dear. You mentioned it, on your own there."
Casey gulped worried. " Ha ha, even your woman has left ya hanging. So where do i join up?"
