Neighbor, Really?!

Microwave 2.0

"Good morning, Jack!" Kristoff's head popped from behind Jack's front door, grinning wildly.

Jack rolled his eyes and dropped his hand off of the doorknob. Honestly, he wasn't in the mood to receive guests. So, he didn't open the door any wider and went straight into the living room. He let Kristoff enter alone without being welcomed.

"Sorry, Kristoff. Listen. I'm really not in the mood to talk to you. So please," He stretched his hand towards the door and gave an exaggerated bow. "Out."

Kristoff just sighed and didn't want to get carried away with Jack's mood. Based on recent experience, he could already guess why his neighbor behaved like this.

"Why are you not in the mood? You can share your problems with your dear neighbor, Jack. Who thought, I might be able to help you, right?" Kristoff smiled, giving Jack the courage to share his problem.

Finally, after a while ignoring Kristoff's smile until Kristoff's cheeks tightened painfully, Jack let out a deep breath. "What else if Elsa wasn't looking for trouble?" Jack sighed and got his hands on his hips.

"I was arguing with Elsa, about something, I don't need to tell you. And I am thinking, How do I prove that Elsa is wrong." He scratched his head and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh, come on, Jack. Is it important to prove who is wrong and who is right? Elsa is your wife, Jack. After all, married life is not a match, nobody loses, and nobody wins-"

"Hoo ho ho, you are wrong, young man. You are very wrong. Marriage is like playing a game at a playstation rental place. If we pay but lose, it means we lose. And I don't want to lose to Elsa. Understand?" Said Jack confidently, while Kristoff nodded his head slowly trying to understand what Jack meant. But he found absolutely no connection between marriage and playing playstation games. So he just kept silent and eyed Jack through the corner of his eyes.

"Ah, Kristoff. I have a question for you. Do you understand electronics?" Asked the Jack again. He had just remembered that his problem started with that one certain thing.

Kristoff laughed dryly, he spread his arms trying to look confident but Jack's intimidating look made him nervous. "Yeah, as a gentleman, off course. Off course, I-" he scratched his cheek and grinned sheepishly. "I-i understand nothing about electronics. I am not tech savvy."

Jack rolled his eyes, sighing in annoyance. "I was asking the wrong person." He shook his head slowly. "Okay. Now, that you can't help me, so please, leave." Jack pointed at the door with his palm.

"Wait wait, Jack. I'm here to give you-" Kristoff took something from the back pocket of his jeans and with enthusiastically he swung his arm so that the thing he was holding was right in front of Jack's nose. "This!" He revealed a card in the shape of a pink hello kitty head and then handed it to Jack.

Jack took it with a confused look and flipped the card over. "Whose child has a birthday?"

"Anna, Jack. Anna. She's the one who has birthday." Answered Kristoff exasperated. "So, tomorrow night I'll have a surprise party for Anna. You and Elsa have to come. Okay?"

Slowly but surely, Jack's grin turned into a mocking laugh that he couldn't bear to hold his stomach. "Oh my God, Kristoff. How old are you? Five? How could the invitation be this ridiculous?" He wagged the card under his chin as if he was hot and kept laughing.
