Family Fued

Part 4 - Take the kid out

It took only a few hours to gather enough pennies and notes lying around the house for a satisfactory (hello Kalin) day out. The three rekindled outside the front door to their garage, shoving all the change into Crow's wallet, for he was the most trustworthy with money, as Yusei agreed and Jack reluctantly nodded, growling.

They had began walking away from their street when a dark-haired, glasses-adorned girl wearing a camera around her neck ran up to them, more specifically the tall, blinking blonde.

"JACK!!!" She screamed up to him, grabbing his arm in a loving and violent embrace.

He stood still. "Oh. Hi Carly." His eyes flicked across to Crow and Yusei, whom sheepishly grinned at him in unison, causing him to grunt at them.

"It's been so long! Where have you lot been?!" Eventually, she glanced to the other two standing away from the loving embrace.

"Carly – we're guys. We've been cooped up in a garage." Crow shook his head, winking at her.

Yusei clarified; "We've been preparing for the WRGP, which kept us out of social life."

Crow further clarified, glaring at Jack. "Well, YUSEI has been doing all that, I've been working jobs to make the income, and Jack has... Eaten ramen."

In response, Jack frowned. "I've been offering m-moral support!" He stuck his nose up and snorted, pulling a sigh from Crow.

Carly pushed that aside, more intrigued in the present. "So, what are you doing now? Out to get parts or train?"

"Actually, Carly, we're going out." Yusei smiled.

"Out?"

"Mhm, out. You know, to a posh restaurant or..." Jack wavered his hand in a 'posh' manner, being interrupted by his grey-eyed frenemy.

"Or somewhere we can afford, like a bowling alley."

"Oh."

The blonde loosened the hold Carly had, turning to Crow and glaring with his sharp, slightly glistening eyes.

Crow glared back, fire raging between the line of sight contacting the twos' eyes. The two more calm characters stood and watched, Carly blinking as Yusei shook his head, smirking at the regular little game.

After a few seconds, however, Crow noticed something which he thought could give him the upper hand. He grinned.

"Jaaack... How could you?" He cooed, causing the blonde to frown further.

"Wot?"

"Your eyeliner... Since you cried, it's ran down your face and made a mess." Yusei came closer at this, and also could notice a faint grey line down Jack's cheeks. Carly squealed- "WHAT!?" At both the fact he wore eyeliner and the point made that he cried.

Jack pulled out of the flames, blinking and rubbing a finger under his eyes. When he glanced at the finger tip, he saw the wet ink and gasped, both in embarrassment and shock.

He flew inside the garage, clearly after the mirror and the sink.

Crow burst out laughing, quite literally rolling on the floor laughing.

"Jack... Cried?" Carly queried, after Crow's guffaws had subsided to a childish giggle.

At this question's latter syllable, Jack waltzed back out from the garage, face cleared and eyeliner reapplied. The others glanced at him, including Crow who stood and was about to throw a sexy one liner, but was tugged away with Yusei as Jack grabbed both of them and led them away from Carly, shouting back, "Don't think anythin' of it!"
