You know I can see right through you;

[Headed towards the garden room, Austin is being trailed by his stillahothead.]

I already told you, I'm not talking about this!

It's important, Austin!

It's my business!

I'm your father, it's mine too.

Little Roxas is technically my father too, but you don't see him asking me about my love life.

[Austin is all shades of red, just stomping away each time olderxas seems to catch up with him. Someonepleasehelphim.]

Killing time. If you're not gonna talk to me I gotta find something else to do, dont I?

[Throws another one.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

WHat's there to talk about?

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Maybe whatever's got that sad puppy look stuck on your face?

[Throws a slightly flashier firecracker in before digging through his pockets for something else.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[He pulls his knees to his chest a bit and rests his head against them.]

Did I ever tell you about Olette?

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Don't think so.

[But you've got his full attention now.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[He sighs, keeping his gaze locked onto the flames.]

She was a good friend of mine. But I felt more than that. Even if I was just a kid. One day we ran into some trouble-- I don't remember much of what happened, I was unconscious for a good portion of it, but the last I saw of her, she was protecting me from the hit that killed her. We all thought she'd come back to the dressing room, but....

... she never did.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[...Wow. What do you even say to that.

Moves closer so ha can put a comforting hand on Austin's shoulder.]

Sorry..

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[He gives him a small smile, before just shrugging.]

It's okay. Not everyone comes back, after all. Besides, she's probably better off back home. I just miss her.

The holidays always remind me of her because it was her favorite time of year. That and I had my first kiss with her under the magic mistletoe.

[Sighs. This is definitely a challenge to his cheer his friends up nature. How do you cheer someone up from that?]

Wanna find something to take your mind off it for a while?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[He hesitates, but then nods.]

Yeah. Sounds good.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Small smile.]

We can experiment with which fireworks make the most interesting explosion?

[Blowing stuff up always cheers him up.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[He breathes a laugh.]

Alright, but we should definitely move to a different room.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, I know that.

I'm not totally irresponsible, you know...

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Not totally being the keywords.

[He stands, slipping his hands into his pockets.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Grins and shrugs. Hey, he doesn't deny it.]

So, are we using some amount of safety logic here, or using the biggest, best fireworks we can find?

[They can create Mythbusters.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Biggest and best. The only safety logic we'll need is a big enough, empty room to do it in. I can handle the rest.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

[Your powers are awesome my friend. For they allow them to do dangerous stuff. :D]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

So, the problem now is that we don't know where to find fireworks.

[Yes, I know. I'm awesome and amazing.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Leave that, to me.

[And I know where to find dangerous things I should not be playing with!]

You find the room and I'll be right back. You got one of those phones right?

[Just in case he cant find the way back to the room.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Yep, let me just make sure you're in here.

[He pulls his red phone (http://technofriends.in/vaibhav/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/skin-for-iphone2.jpg) out and starts searching through the address book.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Good idea. Pulls his out as well. Mun couldn't find a decent pic so it has a very Darkness-y pattern on it.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[l-lol k. Aaaaaand hit dials. is your phone ringing.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[And guess what Austin's ringtone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWXp1MXyvMQ&feature=related) is?]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[............................]

I'm not even going to ask.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.]

What? You dont like the ringtone I picked for you?

[He has different ones for each person!]
