Joey: I don't cheat! D:

Key: Yes you do.

Todd: LAWL.

Harry: I am losing quite badly right now. D:

Key: Don't worry, I think Joey's behind you. *quickly checks the screen* Yep, he is.

Todd: WOOT! :D

Harry: Oh fine. :P *doesn't care either way*

Joey: *grumbles something about old games*

Key: *comes back after a few minutes with the box* Help me set it up? :D

Todd: Gladly! :D *does so*

Harry: *stands and watches, not knowing how to set up devices like the N64. Or anything at all*

*and so they set up the game, and pop in Mario Kart*

Key: *hands everyone a controller* Let's do this. :D

Joey: Snrf. :P *randomly picks Bowser*

Todd: *picks Donkey Kong* >8D

Harry: ... Uh... *goes with Yoshi* :/

Key: *takes Toad, then picks rainbow road* >:3

Joey: OH GOD WHY WOULD YOU PICK THIS LEVEL?! D8

Todd: YEEESSSS! 8D

Harry: Uh, what?

*and so they played*

Joey: *keeps falling off the edge* FFFFFFFFFFFFF. >8C

Key: *is incredibly amused, though she's not doing very well due to being a bit rusty at it* XD

Harry: *not doing well at all* DX

Todd: *is in second place* >8D

Key: *is trying very hard not to fall off the edge* XD;;;

Joey: *is wayyy in the back with Harry* >8C

Todd: *is in first place* >8D

Harry: <:P

Key: Dammit, Joey-- *tries to catch up to Todd*

Joey: *grins, satisfied*

up

*it's a few weeks later that Todd and Harry go to Key's family's house*

Todd: Well gosh! :O

Harry: Heh.

Key: ^^; *they go up and knock on the door*

Joey: *opens the door* Hey, sis. :P

Key: Hey, Joey. :)

Joey: *looks past her* ... *raises an eyebrow*

Key: *rolls her eyes* Can we come in, please? :P

Joey: :P *steps aside and lets the three of them in*

Todd: Haha, we're in your house! This is super weird! :D

Harry: You're the one who suggested we all come over. <__<

Key: And it wasn't weird for me when you invited ME over? XP

Joey: >__>

Key: Buh. Okay, Harry, Todd, this is my little brother Joey.

Joey: *opens his mouth to say something*

Key: *cuts him off* little as in YOUNGER, not in HEIGHT, Joe. XP

Joey: *grins* Nice to meet you.

Todd: Same to you! :P *shakes his hand energetically*

Harry: Mhm.

Joey: .___.

Key: XD; So, wheeere's mom and dad?

Joey: They're not back yet... :/

Key: ...Oh. Figured. XP

Todd: Aaaahhhh damnit! I was hoping we'd be able to meet them. XP

Harry: Sucks.

Key: You will, they should be back soon... *mumbled* I hope...

Joey: *trying to change the topic* ...Hey, do you guys play videogames?

Todd: YES. O__O

Harry: ... Meh...

Joey: *grins* Wanna kill some time?

Key: *rolls her eyes8 He's going to kick your @$$, Joey...

Todd: Damn straight. >:D Oh - oh, am I allowed to swear in front of a minor in your house? D: *is genuinely concerned*

Harry: *facepalms*

Key: I... really don't think you need to worry about that. XD;

Joey: frack yeah, let's DO THIS. *goes over to the living room to turn the XBOX on*

Key: *facepalms*

Todd: <___<;

Harry: *laughs a little at this, then follows Joey*

Key: Just so you know, He didn't get that from me. >__> Come on-- *pulls Todd into the other room*

Joey: *starts pulling out games* Alright, I have like... Battlefield... my friends borrowed all my multiplayers... mnh.

Todd: Son, back in my day, all we had was Mario Kart, Pokemon Stadium and Super Smash Brothers - and we LIKED 'em! >:L

Harry: *snickers*

Joey: |C

Key: Do I HAAAVE to go get the N64 from the basement?

Todd: 8D

Harry: We may as well humor the kid. Don't bother.

Todd: D:>

Key: I'm going to go get it anyway. >:P *goes to the basement*

Joey: HEY! D:

Key: *calling from down the stairs* I HAVEN'T BEEN HOME IN WEEKS, LET ME HAVE FUN!

up

Todd: ... I can't think of anything else to say... but I just want to say something DIFFERENT...

Key: Uhm... um... oh! Does it snow down here?

Todd: Yeah, but it'll take a few more weeks for that to start happening. *is genuinely grateful for the subject change*

Key: Oh, thank GOD... Gives me more time to get ready, hahah... XD;

Todd: D'you think Harry and I could ever meet your family, by the way? I'd love to. :)

Key: *smiles* I don't see why not. I think they'd love to meet you. ^^

Todd: Well, better than hate too, I say! ^^

Key: *laughs, glad that she was able to bring Todd's mood back up* X)

Todd: *reaches Key's dorm* So, ah... this is it. Tell your roommate I said "hi". ;P

Key: I will. ^^ Thanks again for walking me over here... :)

Todd: Sure, sure. I'll be going now. Goodnight, Key. ^^

Key: Goodnight, Todd. ^^

Todd: *gives Key a little wave, then walks back to his and Harry's apartment*

Key: *gets out of her costume and goes to bed, quite tired*

up

Todd: ... So... tonight was kinda... interesting... I really need to talk to Sam tomorrow... maybe I'm being to harsh, saying we should break up...

Key: *her heart sinks* ...You don't think SHE was being harsh by saying those things?

Todd: ... I-I mean she was, but she doesn't know about Harry's problems, and, well...

Key: Do you think that'd just.. magically change her opinion of him?

Todd: *quietly* ... Maybe it'd make her... more understanding...

Key: Mh... I dunno...

Todd: ... I'm really hurting right now, Key... like... no joke... I feel like shoot...

Key: D:> ... <:( ... *gives him a one-armed hug* You know none of this is your fault, right? <:(

Todd: ... It feels like it's all my fault...

Key: Well, it's NOT... You're not the one being a complete jerk...

Todd: ... I guess... Harry shouldn't of just put up with that though... why didn't he TELL me...??

Key: ...He said he didn't want to worry you...

Todd: You mean he TOLD you?? D8>

Key: *flinches a bit* whoops. Don't get too mad at him, he was worried about YOU...

Todd: ... I'm not gonna get mad at him, I just... nnhh...

Key: ... I'm sorry that this happened...

Todd: Yeah, well... it wasn't your fault...

Key: ... *sighs, and looks back in the direction they were walking. they were almost back at the dorm* ...

up

Harry: ... You shouldn't be...

Todd: Why not? D:>

Harry: ... Because I'm used to this...

Key: You shouldn't HAVE to be...

Harry: I was born to take this shoot, alright??

Todd: No, you were born to live your life as a human being, just like anybody else! D:>

Key: Harry, remember what you told me at the pool? When I asked you if you wanted to be outcasts together? You said we should just try to be people instead... What happened to that? <:/

Harry: I only HALF believed what I said - stop using my own damn words against me! D8<

Todd: ... You know, Harry... Sam's gone. She's not here right now. <:/

Harry: ... *he opens the door, looking down at his two friends* ...

Key: *looks up at him, then glances at Todd before stepping forward and hugging Harry. It was an awkward hug, considering how short she was compared to him, but she didn't particularly care*

Harry: ... *he hugs her back* ...

Todd: <:D !

Key: <:) *looks over at Todd, and motions with one hand for him to join in*

Todd: *hugs them both* XD

Harry: ...

Key: *looks back up at Harry* ... :(

Harry: *he smiles slightly at Key*

Todd: <:P

Key: *smiles* ... group hugs. <3

Harry: ... This is my first one...

Todd: Well... it's a good one. <:P

Key: Don't worry, Harry, I didn't get them all that often either... Though I have to say... this is a pretty nice one. X)

Harry: ... Yeah... well, uh... I'd actually like to sleep... so I'll go to bed now...

Todd: Well, alright. I'm kinda tired too... do you want me to take you back to your dorm, Key?

Key: Okay. :C *to Todd* I would actually really appreciate that.

Todd: Alright, let's go... <:P *he walks over to the door out, opening it*

Harry: *shuts his door and goes to bed*

Key: Thanks... *heads out with Todd, walking along quietly* ...

up

Todd: WHY...?? How can ANYONE be like that...??

Key: ...I don't know, Todd... they just ARE...

Todd: ... I don't know if I can be with Sam, now that I know she's no better than Kevin and Gabe... maybe even more like them who haven't been found out yet...

Key: *tries very hard not to show how HAPPY that made her* ...To be honest, I never really liked her...

Todd: ... Yeah...? Well... Maybe you've got a sixth sense or something...

Key: Maybe... I um, always had a thing against pretty, popular girls anyway... they all ended up being jerks.

Todd: *he sighs, his mood dropped lower than he could possibly imagine. He's dazed at the moment, from the tidal wave of awful things that have happened this day*

Key: ... *scoots closer to him, then leans over and hugs him* ...

Todd: *surprised, he looks over at Key for a few seconds before smiling sadly at her and hugging her back*

Key: *is glad she got a smile out of him, and continues to hug him. Inwardly, she hopes he and Sam are over and done with... maybe then she'd have a chance...*

Todd: *he continues hugging Key, unaware of her feelings for him. To him, she is a friend. Nothing more. Perhaps as good a friend as Harry. It's always the quiet ones... isn't it?*

Key: *rests her head on his shoulder, wishing she could just stay there all night... but no, that'd make it too obvious. He couldn't know. not yet* ...Maybe we should go talk to Harry...

Todd: ... Yeah, that's a good idea... *he stops hugging Key and gets up* I can't believe he'd get violent like that...

Key: *also stands* ...Maybe he just had enough. <:/

Todd: ... Makes me wonder what ELSE they've done to him... *walks over to Harry's room and knocks on the door* Harry? Can we come in? We'd like to talk to you... D:>

Harry: ... No...

Key: ...Please? We're worried about you...

up

Todd: D:> ... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to yell... but he's like, my friend from ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, you know? <:(

Sam: ...I know...

Key: ...

Todd: ... Then... why are you so AGAINST him...? <:(

Sam: Do you want me to be honest?

Key: ... >:/

Todd: ... Well... I don't even know anymore... how'sabout we just... stop talking to each other for tonight... not to say I'm kicking you out, but... well...

Sam: ... *sighs, and stands up from the couch* No point in me staying if we're not going to talk to each other. I'll see you later. *heads for the door*

Key: ...

Todd: *he stands there, sad, not really stopping her* ... <:(

Sam: *leaves the apartment*

Key: ..... tch.

Todd: ... All these people suddenly revealing that they hate Harry... SAM of all people... *he slumps over on the couch* ... I just don't get it...

Key: ...Guess they were doing a good job of hiding it from you...

Todd: *he pulls his knees up to his chest, resting his chin on them* ... God, am I blind or just STUPID? D:>

Key: Hey... maybe they're just really good liars. Ever thought of that? <:/

Todd: ... Well I FEEL stupid... I hate being lied to like that... and I hate it even MORE when Harry's bullied like that...

Key: ... *looks away from him* ...Do you wanna know the real reason those two guys attacked me on the street?

Todd: *he looks over to her. Half of him really doesn't want to know and the other have is already thinking of a possibility* ... W-why...?

Key: ...It was because I stood up for Harry.

Todd: ... God damnit... god DAMNIT, GOD DAMNIT...!

Key: *still doesn't look at him* ....

up

Todd: Yeah! I'm always kidding! :D

Harry: Ahah.

Todd: So what were you guys talking about? ^^

Harry: Oh, you know... just what's going on...

Key: Yeah... just stuff...

Sam: Stuff, huh? Sounds interesting. :P

Todd: Indeed! So what now? :U

Harry: We could always head back...

Sam: *smiles a bit* We could do that. Todd? Key?

Key: ... *shrugs*

Todd: I'm fine with that. :D Leeet's go!

Harry: Okay... *he wades out of the pool, drying himself off with the towel*

Todd: *does the same*

Women: *stare at Todd's body* o/////o

Key: *is one of those women. she shakes her head, and quickly dries herself off, pulling her hoodie back on*

Sam: *smirks. they can stare all the want, but Todd was with HER. she also dries herself off, then puts on a pair of sweatpants, then waits for the others*

Todd: *puts the towel around his shoulders* Ready? ^^

Harry: *does the same* Mh-hm.

Sam: Out we go, then~! ^^ *heads out*

Key: *follows them*

Harry: *also follows*

Todd: *same* ^^

*they reach the apartment*

Todd: Uhh... so... how'sabout you go visit the park with Key, Harry? *whispers to him* Sam would really like some alone time with me*

Harry: Mf. That's a nice image you put into my head.

Todd: Aw, please, Harry? <:(

Harry: ... Fine... c'mon, Key. *he takes her arm and drags her back out*

Key: !!? *is dragged out, confused*

Sam: *waits until they're gone, then sits down and lounges on the couch* Well, that was easy.

Harry: God damnit, I hate getting kicked out like that! DX

meanwhile

Todd: Well, it's not like Harry'll argue... he's a good guy. <:P

Key: ...? *suddenly realizes why* Oh! ...Oh. >_<

meanwhile

Sam: Right, I know. :P Sooo... *pats the spot on the couch next to her*

Harry: ... So... to the park, I guess? XC

meanwhile

Todd: *sits down next to her, then kisses her* <3

Key: *shivers a bit* A-Actually... could we go back to my dorm first? It's getting kind of cold. D;

meanwhile

Sam: *wraps her arms around him and kisses him back, somewhat enthusiastically*

Harry: *shrugs* Alright... doesn't help that we're still in our bathing suits...

meanwhile

Todd: *he continues to kiss her, stroking her cheek*

Key: S-Seriously. Come on, before we get hypothermia or something. D; *leads him to her dorm, and up to her room*

meanwhile

Sam: Mm... *rubs circles into his back, still kissing him*

up

Harry: Very.

Todd: You're welcome. *opens his, drinking it*

Sam: *opens hers up and drinks as well*

Key: ...Okay.

Harry: *he looks at Todd and Sam with disgust. To him, alcohol is evil. It does nothing but harm, it seems* ...

Todd: *as usual, he doesn't notice*

Sam: *completely ignores Harry and Key*

Key: *notices. she doesn't understand how Todd doesn't see it...*

Todd: *has emptied the beer bottle* This is not enough to get drunk. I want to get DRUNK! >8U

Harry: And what good will that do you? >:(

Todd: Plenty! Come on, Harry, let us have our fun. <:P

Harry: And in the future, will this "fun" include getting drunk and then smacking around your son or daughter while shouting obscenities?

Todd: *stares at Harry in shocked silence*

Key: !! *is just as shocked as Todd-- she had not expected him to say that at ALL*

Sam: ?? *doesn't know about any of this--at first, she was going to offer a rebuttal, but when she notices how quiet everyone else is, she remains silent*

Harry: *he looks around at everyone, shaking. He then gets up and retreats to his room, slamming the door behind him*

Todd: D8 ...

Key: *isn't quite sure whether she should go after him or not* D:> ...

Sam: *watches him leave, then snorts* Heh. I wonder if he ran like that when he was a dog to HIS drunk-@$$ father. *drinks some more*

Key: D: ... D:<

Todd: *this sparks a sudden fury in him and it takes all his willpower to not smack Sam upside the head* WHAT THE frack!! DDD8< HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE SO INSENSITIVE TO HIM?? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAID??

Sam: * jumps when she yells at him, blinking at him in surprise* Jesus Christ, Todd, it was just a fracking JOKE!

Key: *is also surprised by Todd's outburst, but she's more angry at Sam. Now she has even MORE reason to dislike her* ...

Todd: YOU'RE SERIOUSLY JOKINGABOUT DOMESTIC ABUSE?? D8<

Sam: I didn't KNOW!!

Key: *will never admit it, but she's secretly happy right now* ...

Todd: YOU "DIDN'T KNOW"?? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?? DDDDD8<

Sam: I didn't know what was what was WRONG with him, stop fracking YELLING at me!! D:<

Key: ...

Todd: Have you ALWAYS had this attitude towards Harry, Sam?? HAVE YOU?? D8<

Sam: Maybe. >:/ What's the big deal, you never even noticed anyway!!

Key: ...

Todd: *he practically roars at her* "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL"?? HE'S ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, THAT'S THE BIG DEAL!! DDD8<

Sam: *flinches away from him* ......

Key: ....
