Chapter 6

I’m done with drama until spring. The performance went well…except for the fact

that one of the strings on my violin broke during the first act of the first

performance.

But, no worries. It’s fixed now with three other new strings and it stayed perfectly

in tune.

I hope you like this chapter. Please, enjoy and R&R.

Frank’s POV

As we walked along, XT whispered to me, “Excuse me, Franklyn. May I ask you a

personal question?”

“Uh, sure, I guess,” I replied.

“Just out of curiosity, is the pink cat over there your girlfriend?” He pointed over to

Jordan, who was walking in front of me.

I blushed when I heard his question, but answered, “Um, yeah. She is. Why?”

“Oh, no reason. It’s just that you two seem to be a couple. And I just love the sight

of it. So, how long have you been dating her?”

“Uh…I don’t know. Maybe two years.”

“Interesting…”

My POV

When we finally reached the place, which was known as Genesis Inn, XT led us inside

the building. There, we went up the elevator to the second floor and down the hall until we

made it to room 109.

“Boys, you’ll be staying in this room,” said XT, pointing to the door.

“Uh, one question,” said Mark. “Don’t we need a room key or card to open the door?”

“Oh, no. In this hotel, the door to your room only opens with the touch of the owner’s

hand. Give it a try.”

Mark was hesitant, but then he stretched his hand out toward the door knob and the

door opened. “Wow. It works.”

“Told you so,” said XT.

When we all went inside, we saw that the room looked very old and crusty. The color

of the room was dull and the paint on the wall was mostly chipped off. There was also a

bunch of dust everywhere.

“This is it?” said Sean. “This room looks like shit!”

“Yeah,” said Frank, walking over to one of the walls. “Not to mention, the paint’s

screwed up.” He lightly scratched on the wall and a huge strip of paint fell off.

“Uh, yeah…” said XT. “You see, ever since the Organization attacked our village, we’ve

been very short on our finances that we couldn’t afford enough to rearrange some of the

rooms. So, you’re just gonna have to bear it for now.”

Sean shrugged. “Fine.”

We all stepped into the room and looked around.

I saw Frank walk over to the bottom half of a bunk bed and gently rubbed the sheets

of it. “Well, at least the beds feel comfy.”

“I call top bunk!” Sean screamed as he jumped up on the top, which suddenly crushed

Frank from the bottom.

This worried me. “Frank!”

After the bed returned back to normal, Sean got off and noticed Frank injured.

“F-Frank?” said Sean, stunned. “Oh, my God. I-I’m so sorry!”

I almost felt like crying. “Someone, help him!”

“I’m coming!” said Mark as he ran over here. Then, he used his healing powers,

restoring Frank’s body.

He then sat up and shook himself. “Whoa! For a second there, I thought I was in

pain.”

“You just were,” said Peter.

“Oh.”

We then noticed Mark searching the room for something. “Hey, there are only two

beds here!”

“Well, then you’re gonna have to sleep either in the bathroom or the closet,” said XT.

Mark was surprised. “What?”

“I heard that if a guy sleeps in the closet, it means you’re gay,” said Sean.

“Oh, shut up!” I shouted, feeling disgusted.

“What? It’s possible.”

I sighed. “Never mind.”

“Man, I’m hungry,” said Mark, walking over to the kitchen. “What’s there to eat

around here?” He then opened the cupboard door and pull out a box of cereal. He read

aloud, “’Sell by October 18…1985’? Eww!” He tossed the box away with a disgusted look on

his face.

“Hey, isn’t that the day when the NES came out?” asked Peter.

“Oh, yeah,” said Mark. “Heheh…I guess that’s a funny coincidence.” He then walked

over to the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk. But, when he smelled it, he looked

grossed out. “Augh! Man, that reeks!”

“Oh, c’mon,” said Sean. “Is it really that bad?”

“Why don’t you see for yourself?” asked Mark, pinching his nose so the odor wouldn’t

penetrate his nostrils.

“Okay, I will,” said Sean, snatching the milk from Mark’s hand. He walked over to a

small table, grabbed a saucer, and poured the milk onto it, which turned out to be

extremely dry and lumpy. He smelled it, but drew back from the awful stench. He then

pulled out a spoon, scooped up a little bit of the dry milk, and took a bite out of it. After

that, he shoved the whole thing down his throat, but it made him shudder.

“Yeah, I guess it’s maybe…I don’t know, over twenty years old,” said Sean. “Anyone

who eats this stuff could end up with explosive diarrhea.” His eyes suddenly went wide.

“Uh…I’ll be right back.” He then rushed over to the bathroom and shut the door behind

him.

“XT, are you sure this is the only room you can get for us?” asked Frank.

“Unfortunately, yes,” said XT. “But, I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon. It’s only the

food and the amount of space that’s bad. Everything else is in neat condition, trust me.”

Frank sighed. “I guess…”

Just then, we heard screaming coming from the bathroom. We all went over there to

see what was wrong. We saw Sean sitting near a corner, clutching his legs, and shaking

with fear.

We then turned to see that there was mole sticking its head out of the toilet. It

kept shouting, “Neh! Get out of my room, neh! You’re not wanted here, neh!”

After a couple seconds of hesitation, XT spoke, “That’s the toilet mole.”

“Toilet mole?” I asked.

“Uh huh. We’ve tried so many times to kick him out of here, but he won’t leave the

bathroom. For some strange reason, he’s…obsessed with it.”

I was stunned. “That doesn’t sound right.”

“Ooh, a mole,” said Frank. “You know what this means?” He suddenly grabbed a

hammer out of nowhere and shouted, “WHACK-A-MOLE!!” He ran to the toilet and tried

slamming the mole down. However, it kept dodging it by bopping up and down in the toilet

water.

“Neh, you missed me!” the mole taunted. “You gotta do better than that, neh!”

“Damn…you…mole!” said Frank, struggling. “Why…won’t…you…stand…still?!”

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I shrugged, walked over to where Frank was and

grabbed his hammer. “Gimme that!” I then held the hammer up in the air and smashed

the mole and the toilet down to smithereens. I turned back to Frank and said, “I got him.”

Frank looked surprised. “Wow, Jordan. You’re strong.”

I smiled. “Thank you.”

“Yeah, but it’s too bad you broke the toilet, though,” said Peter.

When I saw what I’ve done, a sweat drop fell from my head. “Oops…”

“Nice…” said Mark in sarcasm.

“What?” I said. “I didn’t think I was gonna actually break your toilet.”

“Uh, guys,” said Frank. “Aren’t we forgetting something?” He pointed over to Sean,

who was still going through a shock syndrome.

“Don’t bake the brownies!” Sean mumbled. “I’ll only eat them.”

“Is he gonna be okay?” I asked.

“Don’t worry about him,” said XT. “He just had a flip attack. He’ll be fine after a few

seconds. But, in the meantime, I shall show Miss Cat to her room, now.”

“Oh, okay!” I said, leaving the bathroom and the boys’ room. There, XT led me to a

room across from the other one, which was room 108.

“And this is where you will be staying,” said XT. “Go ahead and open the door.”

After I turned the knob, I pushed the door open and saw that my room was fantastic.

It was covered with pink wallpaper and had a big single bed, an HD plasma screen TV, a

Wii, and a PS3. I was so impressed that I jumped for joy on my bed and cheered with

excitement.

Sean’s POV

After I gained my reassurance, I walked out of the bathroom to see what was going

on. Sure enough, I saw everyone watching Jordan jumping on her bed in her new room. I

then noticed the plasma screen and PS3 over by the upper right corner.

I was shocked. “I don’t frigging believe this!”

Everyone turned to me, except for Jordan, looking surprised to see me.

“Oh hey, Sean,” said Franklyn. “Glad to see you’re better.”

“Hi,” I said quickly and went back to the subject. “But, really, how come she gets a

good room and all we get is a crappy one?!”

“Well, two reasons,” said XT. “One, because, like I said, we’re currently on a crisis

with the economy and the limited amount of space. And two, because all of you are idiots,

except for her and her boyfriend.”

I gasped. “Hey! That’s sexism!”

“Really? I don’t think so. Oh, wait. I take that back. I do!” He laughed hysterically.

I became so angry that I wanted to just hit XT, but just as I was about to stomp my way to

him, Franklyn grabbed me and said, "Sean, don't!"

"Let me go so I can kick his ass!" I said, struggling to break.

XT crossed his arms, shook his head, and chuckled. "My dear boy, you don't want to mess with

me."

"Oh, really?" I asked. "And why not?"

"Because, I was originally designed to be the most powerful killing machine in this universe. I

could easily break every fragile little bone inside your body until you completely perish."

"Don't intimidate me! I'm not afraid to kick you in the balls!"

"I'm being serious, Sean. Please, I don't want any trouble, so stand down or I will

prove it to you and you'll regret it."

"C'mon, Sean," said Franklyn. "Just let it go. It's not worth it."

"Yeah," agreed Mark and Peter.

I hesitated for a few seconds, but then gave in and sighed. "Oh, alright. But, consider

this a warning." I released myself from Franklyn's grip, took out my sword, and banged

XT on the head with it, creating a small dent on his forhead. After I put my weapon back

in its scabbard, I said, "Got it?"

"You have my word as a loyal robot," said XT, crossing his heart.

My POV

I stopped jumping on the bed and called out to my friends, “Hey, guys! Anyone wanna

play with me on my PS3? I got Soul Calibur IV!”

“Ooh, I do!” said Sean as he ran over to where my TV was.

“Me, too!” said Mark.

Frank and Peter also agreed.

“I will be heading outside now,” said XT, walking out of the door. “Let me know if you

need anything else.”

“Thanks, XT!” I shouted to him as he left. I then turned on the PS3 and played with

my friends for a little while.

Okay, listen up. Some of you already found out that I registered on deviantART only

a few days ago and have been very distracted by it because I did so.

Now, as I said on my DA journal entry, with the exception of school and other stuff,

I might be just a little bit busy posting some artwork on that account, but I’m also

gonna try to get this story done ASAP so I can retire from this for good.
