~Vanoss and Mini's Story~

(3rd grade of the year 2007)

~Vanoss's POV~

"We have to try Mini." I said while pushing him up to a kid named Tyler. "N-No... What if he doesn't like my company? What if he hates me because I sound different? What if-" I cut him off, "That won't happen, I happen to know a little about Tyler and what I know is that he won't hate you for being you." Mini started to chew his fingernails, "Why can't you ask him?" I sighed, "Because, I have another issue to deal with." He kept chewing his nails as we grew closer and closer.
We were about five feet away from him, "Uh... Vanoss... You know what? I don't want to do this anymore. We don't need Tyler anyway." He said and turned away from me pushing him. I stumbled forward a little and turned to look at him, "I need you to ask him, so nobody else gets the chance to steal him." Mini seemed to think about the topic then finally sighed, "Okay fine. But if I make a total fool out of myself you are saving my butt. Got it?" I rolled my eyes, "Yeah sure. Just go ask him."
Mini took a deep breath and walked half confident half stupid towards Tyler.
I watched as he approached him and Tyler turned around. I left at that point and went to attend to my own matters.

~Craig/Mini Ladd's POV~

I stride over to Tyler and confidently tap his shoulder. I immediately lose all of that confidence when he turned around and smiled, "Hey dude." I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Tyler stood there waiting patiently for me to talk, but I started to shy away, "Uh... Sorry to bother you. But now I must leave." I said while turning around. I felt him grab my shoulder and turn me back around, "I don't think so. All this week you have been saying the same thing to me, but this time I am not letting it slide. You are going to tell me what you need to tell me then leave. Got it?" I was a little flustered, but nodded. "Uh... I... We... Me and Vanoss... IwouldliketoinviteyoutoVanossandI'sgroupbecause-" "Woah..." Tyler stopped me, "Slow down..." I took a deep breath, "I. Would. Like. To." Tyler stopped me again, "Can you speed it up a bit."
"I would like to invite you to Vanoss and I's group because we think you would be a perfect member." I said without thinking twice. I stand there with my head down and face red with embarrassment. "Yeah okay."
My head snaps up and I look at him confused, "Wait what?" "I said yeah okay. I'll join." He repeated. My eyes widened and I tried to hide my glee, "Really?" Tyler nodded, "Okay... Just meet Vanoss and I outside the front gate after school... Kay?" Tyler smiled, "Kay." And he walked away.
Unable to hide my glee any longer, I started to hop up and down shouting, "YES!" over and over. Then I ran to find Vanoss.

(Meanwhile)

~Vanoss's POV~

"I HATE YOU AND ALL YOUR FACE!" Marcel yelled at Nogla, "WELL I HATE YOU AND ALL YOUR FACE!" He yelled back, "YOU CAN'T TAKE MY INSULT AND THROW IT BACK AT ME!" Marcel yelled, "WELL I JUST DID!" Nogla yelled. I sighed and sat back in my chair. 'Wonder how Mini's doin' I thought and stretched, "Hey guys?" I tried to get their attention, "DON'T MAKE ME CUSS! I WILL CUSS!" Marcel threatened, "WELL I CAN FIGHT! WANT ME TO DO THAT!" Nogla threatened back, "Guys?" I tried again, "YOU WOULD PROBABLY LOSE TO A FLY IF YOU FOUGHT IT!" Marcel insulted, "Marcel, Nogla!" I yelled, "WHAT!?" They both looked and yelled at me, "Look. This fight is ridiculous. This is all for a pen? Really?" I ask annoyed, "He stole it!" Nogla yelled, "I did not!" Marcel stuck out his tongue. I sighed and jumped as Mini came barging in the room all happy and giddy.
"Vanoss! You will never guess what happened!?" He said bouncing all the way to my chair, "Uhh.... You finally asked Tyler to join and he said yes?" I asked. He stopped bouncing for a moment, "How did you know?" "Lucky guess." Mini smiled and looked at Nogla and Marcel, "Hey guys!" He waved and they waved back, "Oh! Nogla! I completely forgot, but you lent me your pen and I never returned it. I hope you forgive me." Mini said pulling out a ball point pen and handing it to Nogla.
There was an awkward silence and I face palmed, "See!? I told you I didn't take it!" Marcel said as Nogla slowly took the pen, "Yeah I forgive ya. Sorry Marcel for accusin ya..." Marcel smiled and patted Nogla's shoulder, "Don't worry about it." I rubbed my face and looked at Mini, "So, did you tell him to meet us outside the gate?" I asked. Mini nodded, "Yes! And I guess I was worried about nothing!" I smirked at him, "Told ya so." He only glared at me. The bell rang, ending school. What? I didn't say what time of day it was.
We all ran out and Mini eagerly waited by the gate for Tyler. Soon enough, out of the cluster of kids, Tyler could be spotted in the middle. I leaned on the gate and waited patiently.
He finally got out of the black hole of children and smiled upon approaching us, "Hey." He greeted, "Hi!" Mini yelled a little too loud. I laughed a little. Marcel, Nogla, and I all introduced ourselves and I got straight to business, "Okay, so Tyler, Mini asked you to be a part of out group." He nodded, "Do you really want to be?" I saw him smile, but before he could answer me, someone ran into me. I stumbled forward and turned around to see the kid who saved me, about a year ago. "Uh... Hi?" I said in a questioning tone. Unlike me, he fell from the impact. He looked up at me, he was wearing a mask. He looked back down and got up. The kid sniffed and was about to run away again, but I caught him, "Yo, dude, you okay?" I asked him, he pulled away and was avoiding eyes, me, pretty much my existense.
There was a yell from down the street and the kid started to struggle out of my grip on his wrist. "Uh... Vanoss. I think you should let him go." The yell came again, "Yeah, but someone is looking for him." I reply, "Does it look like he wants to be found?" Tyler questions.
I look at the kid and sigh. Instead of letting him go though, I pulled him behind me and I turned around, "Everyone form a circle and keep this kid in the middle." I said abd everyone did as I said. "Talk about nothing." I whispered as the yelling voice became louder. We started talking, er... Making incoherent noises.
The man passed and we disbanded. I look at the kid who seemed relieved, "Wanna tell us what's going on?" I ask him.
