"Hang on to something. We're almost there."
"Almost…."
"Wooo...woooo…Hey. Your butts fogging up the…"
*errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...…..aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh.
Whooossssh. I feel so much better. Can you.....help me with the keys? My hands seem to be clamped together?"
"But you.....why...…..how..."
"Also, your truck is a little small. I am skinny to slide, but not that skinny, Mind installing a….
*Click*
Thank you.
So, since this is a stupid excuse for a kidnapping, then I think I will just see myself out. My friends are…"
*Lock*
*Crink*
"What gives? Why'd you lock it?"
"I can't let you go."
"You can't...…..or you won't?"
"Don't...….want to."
"Okay. I'm leaving. Can't sit with a boy who can barely control his own mind, and thinks kidnapping is fun."
"Kidnapping is not fun.....but.....I need help."
"Why are we at a funeral?"
"You don't bury your dead?"
"Not without a body."
"Well, from where we come from, we respect whoever, whether it be an accidental death; or a purposeful one."
"Oh, we celebrate. We just don't dawn on the fact. Their life, mistakes, and downfall is their own. Not ours."
"How can you say that? What about your siblings?"
"What siblings?"
"...Friends?"
"I'll help them best I can, but I am not going to hold their hand, nor compare my body to theirs."
"Speaking of bodies, I saw you transform."
"So?"
*Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkk*
".......My family has, always did, and always will love my brother more than me. Whereas, I am just the weakling in the back. Nothing I do is ever good enough for them.
Having a girlfriend would really change that."
"Then go get one."
"No. You don't understand. Although my parents never approved of me, my brother and I were always close, and he said if anything happens to him; he will give everything to me. He never had any kids, and no current girlfriend to give to. Wills….."
"Are only for old people. I know."
"No. They're for everyone."
"Take it your brother made a bet and said he'd give you everything as long as you have a girl?
What'd you say?"
"......I said, yes."
"You're more stupid than I thought. And why would I help you steal your brother's inheritance...….I mean.......take it?"
"Because he was the General."
"Ohhhh.."
"And that makes the new Forces mine."
"All of this over a stupid bet? No training required."
"They couldn't find a body, so I could easily replace him as his twin."
"You guys will literally do anything to get to the top besides the actual thing that's needed to get there."
"But you could skip everything and just take over. Isn't that what you want?"
".....I never told you what I wanted."
"I see you over there. You can't hide from me. Come on. Don't be shy."
"How bout this? I will go there...…pretend...….make you far superior, and show that you don't need guns to gain attention."
"How?"
"I own a Restaurant in Rosas Palace. More like a Nightclub, but….."
"Everstar!!!!!!!!"
"You heard of it?"
"You're Ruby? That's the only place we can go that side of the water. Schools for the Kids, and the food for us. But...…Why would you give the restaurant to me?"
"You said your parents are grateful for all of your Brother's missions?"
"Yes."
"But has he ever been able to cross?"
"That's Classified."
"Since you are here, and I am there; I will take that as a no."
"He's been on many Missions, but neither he, nor your President has Crossed. Imagine you strolling in there, hand in mine; and confidently saying you have been the first in the family to cross without the eye of a Dragon watching you."
"Would be pretty cool seeing all the other Fighters stand in shock and awe that I did the one thing they never could.
….But....."
"But?"
"It's all a lie."
"You want your parents' approval, don't you?"
"Yes?"
"And I want to show everyone that the biggest gun is an open heart. Win win for both of us, don't you think?"
".......How would you like me to introduce you?"
