Boyz Chillin'

Popo went over to his fridge and grabbed a can of beer for each guest. Everyone except Ness and Lucas happily drank to their heart's content.
Popo: "Alright bitches, let's play some beer pong."
Toon: "I don't know, Mate. Doesn't seem fair to Ness and Lucas."
Popo: "C'mon broskiiis, let's get drunk!"
Ness: "I'll pass."
Sonic: "Aww, don't be such a wet blanket." *Smokes a blunt*
Ness: "Maybe another time, but right now, I'm not in the mood."
Popo: "You're missin' out."
Ness: "Don't care."
Popo: "Shiiiiit."
Toon: "We could play Mario Party."
Ness: "Ah…"
Toon: "Don't like Mario Party?"
Ness: "It's just…"
Sonic: "Bro, Mario kidnapped us."
Toon: "Oh fuck! My bad, Mate."
Ness: "It's ok."
Sonic: "Honestly, I got over it."
Ness: "What? How?"
Sonic: "I deal with shit like that often."
Ness: "Getting kidnapped?"
Sonic: "Yeah, dude. Dr. Eggman do be crazy."
Ness: "What the fuck?"
Sonic: "Yeah, one time he kidnapped and put me in this machine then I got zapped and turned into a werehog."
Ness: "What!"
Sonic: "Shit's crazy, man."
Ness: "You're acting like this is an average Tuesday for you."
Sonic: "I mean yeah."
Toon: "Sonic, are you ok?" *Chugs beer*
Sonic: "I'm feelin' great!"
Popo: "Well shit, wanna just chat then?"
Toon: "We could ask each other questions to get to know each other better."
Sonic: "I am new to the group." *Chugs beer*
Lucas: "I like that idea."
Toon: "Two truths one lie."
Sonic: "I'll go first. I love anime, I once had ate eight boxes of pizza alone, and I'm an amazing dancer."
Ness: "The lie is that you're an amazing dancer."
Toon: "There's no way you ate that much pizza."
Lucas: "Uh, yeah, the pizza one."
Popo: *Smokes blunt* "The pizza."
Sonic: "You're all wrong! The lie was that I love anime."
Ness: "You hate anime?"
Sonic: "I don't HATE it. I just don't like it."
Ness: "What! But it's awesome."
Sonic: "Yeah, a nerdy asian like yourself would like anime. You also play League. Doesn't surprise me."
Ness: "What's wrong with League?"
Sonic: "Everyone knows that League players are degenerate losers."
Ness: "It takes skill to play."
Sonic: "Sure." *Rolls his eyes*
Ness: "You couldn't handle it. You're too soft."
Sonic: "Oh? Are you challenging me?"
Ness: "Maybe I am."
Sonic: "Alright you know what, I'm gonna-
Toon: "Don't do it. It's not fun playing with Ness. Trust me."
Sonic: "Ooooooh~"
Ness: "Toon!"
Toon: "Sorry, Mate. You're a little toxic."
Ness: *Scoffs* "I'm not toxic. Lucas, am I toxic?"
Lucas: "Uh..."
Popo: "Oh shit! Drama."
Lucas: "No."
Sonic: "He's lying. I can tell Ness gets angry when he loses. Which is often I bet."
Ness: "Hey! I win a lot thank you very much."
Popo: "Alright, let's keep the game goin'."
Ness: "Hmph! Fine, I'll go next. I can lift over one hundred tons possibly more. I've had braces. I prefer savory over sweets."
Sonic: "Bro is a twink. The first one is a lie for sure."
Toon: "Yeah no. There's no way you can lift one hundred tons."
Lucas: "The braces one."
Popo: "Definitely the first one."
Ness: "What! Guys c'mon."
Toon: "Sorry, can't see it."
Ness: "The lie was the braces. I've always taken good care of my teeth..."
Popo: "I call bullshit."
Sonic: "Not with them noodle arms."
Toon: "If you were Ritcher or Kazuya then I mean sure."
Ness: "I can lift over one hundred tons!"
Everyone except Lucas: "Hahahahaha!"
Ness: "It's true!"
Sonic: "Not with your twink ass."
Ness: *Scoffs* "Oh, like you can do better?"
Sonic: "I can."
Ness: "I seriously doubt it. Your arms are smaller than mine."
Sonic: "I'm as strong as I am fast."
Ness: "So not that strong then."
Popo and Toon: "Ooooooh~"
Sonic: "Ha! You're talking big for someone who only has one game. Do you know what I've gone through in my games? A hundred tons is nothin'."
Ness: "One game yet I'm still stronger than you."
Sonic: "You wanna bet?"
Ness: "Yeah! I'm confident I can lift more than a mouse."
Sonic: "I'm a hedgehog. I thought a smart guy like yourself would know."
Ness: "You sure? You look more like a rat to me."
Sonic: "Ah, so you're blind too."
Ness: "What was your original name? Mr. Needlemouse?"
Sonic: "What's yours Ninten? Oh, wait, forgot you're just a clone of him."
Ness: "Hmm, no I remember your name being dumber."
Sonic: "Oh yeah?"
Ness: "Wasn't it Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog?"
Popo: "Ewww, gross name."
Toon: "Ain't no way."
Sonic looked around and started to sweat. How did Ness know his dead name?
Sonic: "That's not canon."
Ness: "I don't know, if you look it up online-
Sonic: "That's in the archie comics. I'm video game Sonic. We're different."
Popo: "Damn! Wazzup Ogilvie. Haaahaaa." *Smokes a blunt*
Sonic: "That's not my name!"
Ness: "Hahahaha!"
Sonic: "Laugh now, but just know that there's a lot of stuff about me on the internet. I'm more popular, so of course there would be false information."
Ness: "Using your fame as crutch, aren't we?"
Sonic: "I'm more popular than you could ever dream of~"
Popo: "Damn, this game just turned into a roast fest."
Ness: "I'm popular."
Sonic: "Only because of smash. Your games didn't sell that well."
Ness: "At least my game is good unlike yours."
Sonic: "My games are amazing. Just ask my millions of fans."
Ness: "Your own fans diss your games all the time!"
Sonic: "Then why am I still relevant and you're not?"
Ness: "Because you're a sellout."
Sonic: "Better than being a nobody."
Popo: "Broskiiis! Calm down."
Toon: "This game got too far."
Lucas: "You guys are both strong."
Popo: "Yeah, no need to fight."
Ness: "We're not fighting. We're just disagreeing."
Sonic: "Yeah, we're cool. Right, Ness?"
Toon: "You sure?"
Both Ness and Sonic gave each other a nervous look. They both felt embarrassed because they got personal. They shouldn't have taken it so seriously. It made them look insecure in front of the group.
Ness: "Yeah, we joked like this all the time in the cave."
Toon: "Really?"
Sonic: "Yup. It's all in good fun."
Ness: "Mhm."
Popo: "Well if it's all in good fun, that shit was hilarious."
Toon: "It sure was! Wait, are we still playing?"
Popo: "Nah, I'm bored. Let's ask each other raunchy questions."
Lucas: "Raunchy?"
Sonic: "Fuck yeah!"
Ness: "What happened to two truths one lie?"
Toon: "It's not spicy enough."
Popo: "I'll ask the big question. If you guys had to kiss a guy, who would you kiss?"
Sonic smirked at Ness and winked.
Ness: "No."
Sonic: "What? You think I'd choose you?"
Ness: "You're the one that said you'd fuck me in the cave."
Sonic: "Yeah out of a cranky old man and an orange monster."
Toon: "Wait, what?"
Popo: "Did you two hook up in the *coughs* cave or somethin'?"
Lucas: "I'm also confused."
Ness: "No we didn't hook up!"
Sonic: "It's Sephiroth."
Toon: "Why him?"
Sonic: "He's a beautiful man."
Popo: "Can't argue with that." *Smokes a blunt*
Toon: "What about you, Lucas?"
Lucas: "Uh..."
Sonic: *Coughs Ness's name*
Ness: "Can you not?"
Sonic: "I didn't say anything."
Lucas: "I guess if I had to choose, probably Marth."
Sonic: "Ooooh~ Did you hear that, Ness?"
Ness: "I heard it loud and clear."
Sonic: "And you're not jealous?"
Ness: "Why would I be jealous?"
Popo: "You two are close."
Ness: "It's not like that!"
Toon: "Well now I'm curious. Ness, your turn."
Ness: "Uh..."
Sonic: *Cough's Lucas's name*
Ness: "I'm ignoring you."
Popo: *Takes another hit*
Ness: "It's Sephiroth. I agree with Sonic. He's a beautiful man."
Sonic: "Hey! Back off my man."
The group started laughing. They kept playing and asking more questions until it got late.
Popo: "Alright, guys. I think it's time, but you guys are free to stay over if you want."
Sonic: "I'm too drunk to go back to my place."
Toon: "Same, I call sleeping on the big couch."
Popo: "Ness, Lucas, you guys sleeping over?"
Ness: "No, we're good."
Lucas: "Yeah."
Popo: "No broskiis! Sleep overrrrr!"
Ness: "Sorry, my social battery is empty."
Popo: "Awww."
Sonic: "They gonna fuck."
Ness: "Excuse me?"
Popo: "Haaaahaaaa!"
Ness: "No we're not!" *Blushes*
Sonic: "Then why are you blushing?"
Ness: "Because you're embarrassing me."
Sonic: "Nah, it's because you two are gonna fuck."
Ness: "It's not true! Fuck you!"
Sonic: "No thanks~"
Ness: "I hate you."
Sonic: "Love you too, bro."
Ness: "Bye."
Ness walked out the door and Lucas followed behind.
Lucas: "Um, are you ok?"
Ness: "Yes, I'm ok."
Lucas: "Sorry about Sonic."
Ness: "It's fine. He's just like that."
Lucas: "Really? I never hung out with him before. He's quite the character."
Ness: "He was worse in the cave."
Lucas: *Snickers*
Ness: "What's so funny?"
Lucas: "I mean, it was kind of funny seeing you two banter."
Ness thought about it for a second. In a way, yeah, he can see it. This is what Nate was talking about when he said that Ness is accidentally funny. Sure, Sonic was annoying, but he means well. Before, he would have taken this seriously and mope about it for hours, but he's trying to work on himself and be less uptight.
Ness: "You're right. It's a little funny." *Chuckles*
Lucas: "Wow, usually you would stay mad."
Ness: "I know Sonic doesn't actually think we're in love."
Lucas: "Y-yeah…" *Averts his eyes*
Ness: "He just likes to make fun of me because he's still coping with the whole cave trauma. Which is a dick move. Hmm, maybe I should do the same to him. See how he likes it."
Lucas: "Sonic, seems like the type who doesn't care to be made fun of."
Ness: "Sure he does. Everyone has a weak point."
Lucas: "No offense, Ness, but you get offended easily."
Ness: "No I don't."
Lucas: "You just did right now."
Ness: "I'm not offended."
Lucas: "It's your tone, sweetheart~"
Ness: "Do you want to die?"
Lucas: *Snickers* "Hahaha!"
The two started laughing their way to Lucas's room. The two said their goodbyes. Ness went back to his place and sat on his desk. He opened up his laptop and checked his email. Still no reply from Pokemon Daycare Center. If he doesn't get a reply in a week, he'll call them.
It's time for League. Man, he hasn't played in so long. He logged on and was about to accept the match, but he stopped when he heard a bunch of discord messages.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
He selected decline and checked his discord. It might be important.

…
Ness and Nate called each other through discord. They played a game of norms. Nate picked Sett and Ness obviously picked Lee Sin.
[- Nate
On call
Ness: "So you main top lane?"
Nate: "Yeah!"
Ness: "Have you tried any other roles?"
Nate: "Yeah, they all suck except top."
Ness: "Jungle doesn't suck."
Nate: "Jungle is the worst."
Ness: "It takes brains."
Nate: "See, that's why I don't fuck with jungle. Unlike Top all I had to do is be a big boy and punch things."
Ness: "That's so you."
Nate: "I'm a big boy~"
Ness: "I'm coming top."
Ness went in for a gank. The enemy top laner flashed away. Ness and Nate both emoted.
[- Nate
On call
Nate: "Nice! You got his flash. Thank you."
Ness: "No problem~"
...
Ness saw that the enemy jungler was bot. Rift Herald was up, so he pinged Nate to come over and assist. Nate followed up and they took the objective.
[- Nate
On call
Nate: "And we got Shelly! Hell yeah!"
Ness: "You mean Rift Herald?"
Nate: "Everyone knows her name is Shelly."
Ness: "So what got you into League?"
Nate: "I remember you mentioning it when we were on our way to free the prisoners. I checked it out and now I'm hooked."
Ness: "I told you to stay away. This game is horrible."
Nate: "I can see why. Unfortunately I too, fell victim and is now living in hell with you."
Ness: "Hahaha! Oh my god."
Nate: "You did this to me."
Ness: "You did this to yourself."
Nate: "You're the one that mentioned the game."
Ness: "You're the one that downloaded it."
Nate: "I had to! You said to never play it, and I hate following orders."
Ness: "You seem to love listening to my pings."
Nate: "That's different!"
Ness: "Hahahaha!"
Nate: "Oh shit! Mid lane is getting ganked, you should go help them."
Ness went over to help mid lane, but his mid laner did a fucking stupid and got them both killed.
[- Nate
On call
Ness: "Are you kidding me?!"
Nate: "Damn, your mid laner did not follow up."
Ness: "This always happens…"
[- Chatbox
Ahri: [all] fucking stupid jungler I told you to back off
Lee Sin: You never once pinged me away. In fact, you pinged assist.
Ahri: no I definitely pinged you away. you should pay attention more :)
Lee Sin: Clearly you have a bad memory because you never pinged danger.
Ahri: dude can you stfu
Lee Sin: You're getting defensive because you know I'm right.
Ahri: stop typing and do your job dog
…
Ness widened his eyes and scoffed at his laptop.
Ness: "Dog, huh?"
Nate: "Hey, uh, the enemy jungler is taking your camps."
Ness: "What!"
Ness went over to his jungle and had a 1v1 with the enemy. He surprisingly won that fight.
[-Nate
On call
Nate: "Ayye nice!"
Ness: "Thank you for letting me know."
Nate: "Dude, you should just mute the Ahri."
Ness: "No, what if they have something useful to say?"
Nate: "They never do. Trust me."
Ness: "That's not the case every time."
[- Chatbox
Ahri: [all] wow the jungler did something right for once
Lee Sin: Can you stop talking to the enemy?
Ahri: can you stfu
Lee Sin: Why are you so toxic?
Ahri: becuz your throwing
Lee Sin: First of all, I'm not throwing. I helped top lane win their lane and bot is holding up on their own. You're the only one that's feeding. I literally won my 1v1. Second of all it's not your it's you're.
Ahri: who tf cares about spelling we're not in class
Lee Sin: I'm just trying to help you. No offense but you don't seem bright. However, with my help and guidance I can help you improve.
Ahri: wtf r u dog
Lee Sin: Call me a dog one more time.
Ahri: D o g
Lee Sin: That's it! I'm not ganking for you.
Ahri: idgaf u didnt do anything for me anyway accept feed
Lee Sin: *Except
Ahri: [all] ff 15 my jungler is a piece of shit
Graves: [enemy] [all] wtf is going on? Ahri stfu

Lee Sin: [all] It's ok. Thank you for being a decent human being unlike my mid laner.
Graves: [enemy] [all] of course. I feel for you bro

[- Nate
On call
Nate: "Hey, you know at least someone is on your side."
Ness: *Sighs* "That's true, but now I can't jungle. I have to fill in for mid lane."
Nate: "All good. Bot is holding up and I'm really ahead thanks to your gank earlier. Also I took Shelly and I'm using her right now."
Announcer: "Enemy turret has been destroyed."
Ness: "Nice!"
Nate: "All thanks to the best jungler in the world~"
Ness smiled and blushed. Playing with Nate is a lot of fun. He helped keep Ness calm the entire game and they ended up winning.
They kept playing for hours and won most of their matches. Being a duo with Nate somehow increased his win rate. He's not bad. He's… Not bad. Ness couldn't help but start to feel a bit jealous.
Announcer: "Penta Kill!"
[- Nate
On call
Nate: "LET'S GOOOO!"
Ness: "What!"
Nate: "Dude, this is my second time getting a penta kill since I've played!"
Ness: "Beginner's luck."
Nate: "I'm sure you've gotten more."
Ness: "Y-yeah."
He's got a total of six penta kills and he's been playing for years. Nate has already got two and he's been playing for less than a week.
[- Nate
On call
Nate: "Damn, this game is too easy."
Ness: "Ok, we get it."
Nate: "You good, bro?"
Ness: "Yes, I just… Yes, I'm fine."
Nate: "Jealous?"
Ness: "No!"
Nate: "It's fine, bro. It's beginner's luck."
Ness: "Yeah, I know. That's what I said earlier."
Nate: "You seem upset."
Ness: "I'm not. I'm happy for you."
Nate: "Hahaha!"
Ness: "What?"
Nate: "Nothing~"
Ness: "Anyway! So how's life in Onett?"
Nate: "Oh my god, dude! Your mom is so sweet~"
Ness: "I know. She's all about love and care."
Nate: "No kiddin'! She treats me as her own son. Although, I guess it makes sense. We look exactly alike."
Ness: "She's motherly by nature."
Nate: "I love her so much! Also your sister is sweet. She's in high school now. She's been talking to me non stop about this boy she has a crush on."
Ness: "Wow, never thought I'd see the day where she talks about boys."
Nate: "Your mom seems cool with it, so I don't care either."
Ness: "Honestly me too. Good for her. However, if my dad were still alive, he'd go nuts."
Nate: "He died?"
Ness: "Y-yeah…"
Nate: "I'm so sorry."
Ness: "It's ok. I try not to think about it. Anyway, so is anything else going on?"
Nate: "I feel bad for living at your mom's place rent free, so I'm applying to jobs."
Ness: "Same here. I got no money for anything. I can't buy Lucky quality food. It sucks."
Nate: "I feel that. We've been struggling over here too. Your mom has been working, but her job isn't giving her enough hours."
Ness: "That's Onett for ya. Big companies are as greedy as ever."
Nate: "It fuckin sucks. I think most places in Onett are ghost hiring. I keep calling them, but the places that are 'hiring' tell me that they have full staff."
Ness: "It's so misleading. They shouldn't keep their signs up like that."
Nate: "I know right! Like doesn't it get annoying that people keep calling them asking if they're hiring?"
Ness: "Apparently not."
The two won their last game for the day.
[- Nate
On call
Nate: *Yawns* "I'd love to play more, but I'm getting sleepy."
Ness: "Don't worry, I'm over it too."
Nate: "It was fun playing with ya! We should do this everyday."
Ness: "Ok!"
Nate: "Really?"
Ness: "Yeah, I'm not busy."
Nate: "Awesome! Well, I'll let you know when I find a job. Goodnight~"
Ness: "Yeah I'll let you know too. Goodnight."
They left the call. That was a good experience. Man, he never thought he would play League with his clone. The same clone that bullied him and did awful things to his friends while he was trapped in that cave. But here they are now, being best friends.
Lucky: "Piiii!" (I'm hungry!)
Ness turned around and saw that Lucky only ate a little bit of the kibble.
Ness: "Sorry, Lucky, that's all I have for you."
Lucky: "Espiii!" (Give me real food!)
Ness: "I know, I'm sorry. I'm not even eating tonight. Be thankful you have something."
Lucky threw a mini tantrum, but soon realized that his trainer genuinely couldn't do anything. He begrudgingly ate the rest of his food.
Lucky's behavior reminded Ness of his post. He wondered if he got any comments. Hopefully they're helpful. He logged on to Twitter and his eyes widened in shock.

This is Lucky my new Pokemon. He's a bit of a brat. Any tips on how I can get this fluffy jerk to listen to me?
