The Life Of A Franz Ferdinand Reference

20

Cassiopeia was sitting on the ground with her magic 8 ball, watching the shimmers of color streak across the murky liquid inside. Bob soon joined her on the ground. Princess Unproblematic strikes once again. Alex and Nick were sitting on the couch in the living room, discussing something that I didn't care about. As always, Strawberry and Paul were playing mario kart. Rowan was making macaroni in the kitchen.

"Does anyone want to have a 5th grade style all nighter?" Alex asked suddenly.

"Yeah, we'll play truth or dare and be generally silly!" Nick laughed.

"Will we talk about crushes?" I added sarcastically.

"Hella."

"Uhm... Alright."

Strawberry and Paul suddenly burst out of their room in almost Disney channel type coordination.

"Okay... 5/8 are in..."

Cassiopeia then nodded excitedly.

"6/8." Alex confirmed.

"Yeah, once I finish my macaroni!" Rowan laughed.

"7/8."

"Am I the only one who thinks we have much better things to do and that we all need sleep?" Bob asked.

"Yes." Alex answered.

"Fine whatever I'm in." Bob shrugged.

"8/8!"

After a few bored minutes of asking what we all wanted to do, Strawberry asked the true question we've all wanted.

"Are we supposed to like, have plans or something?"

"Whatever. No plans. Wait until we're all sleep deprived and then whatever happens happens." Alex laughed.

Strawberry just shrugged and continued whatever she was doing.

Rowan finished making macaroni and we all decided to play mario kart for a few hours.

Our tournament ended well, with Strawberry winning and Paul not far behind. He most likely let her win out of fear of being obliterated.

Once we were all tired enough, we decided to release our inner 5th graders. Oh, and some obvious bunking up jokes were made. I can't believe Paul still hasn't let go of that stupid joke.

"Can we do stuff?!" Alex asked.

"Yeah, whatever, let's tell stories or something also. Later." Bob suggested.

"Can I say something?" Rowan asked suddenly.

"Yeah sure." I nodded.

"Alright.... I'm not who you think I am. Well, I am. Yes I'm Rowan, 23 year old badass fox girl, but I'm not on the officials side. I'm a criminal. I've been on the run since I was maybe 17. I've been known to stage breakouts. I fake jobs to help people. From this I've become a total badass, as you all know. But really, I do it for the safety of everyone. I only help the innocent. Well, maybe not, considering I know all of you... Whatever. What I'm saying is that I steal helicopters to help people. The officials have given up. I think I'm safe now. Also, I taught Aehocai how to hack back when we were dating. Promise you won't tell?"

We all then agreed that Rowan's confession wasn't unusual. I expected that she wasn't too chill with the officials because of her reckless helicopter stealing and general badass behavior.

It was around midnight, and no one was tired enough to start saying stupid things yet. We all decided it would be better to play some immature truth or dare. Mostly dare. Before we started playing, I made sure Nick was alright. He was being too quiet.
