Nnnnnnngh....................................

HRAAAAAAAAH!

[The sound of wood splintering and catching on fire can be heard in the background.]

This whole thing's pissin' me off. When they gonna leave, huh?

I jus--

[Another crash and a burst of flame.]

Ugh! Aight, who wants a fight? 'Cause I gotta burn this feelin' off before I go completely nuts.

Oh, those guys?

....

I dunno, Squids. This don't feel like nuthin' they done before.

[...Beat, did you forget...?! Shinji is totally judging, but he decides to just leave it at that for now.]

No, I agree. Something about it just felt... different. Maybe that's why it hasn't gone away yet.

[No, because he can't forget what he never remembered, dooooy.]

Hnngh, but I want it to go away 'cause I kinda set somethin' on fire an' I don't want Ribbons to find out.

[ahaha oh...]

What is it? Can't it be fixed?

I guess? I mean, the place fixes itself, right?

[Soooo yeah, that door will totally be okay, right? Right. Yes.]

You think it'll fix itself before she finds out?

Ugh, I hope so! She's scary when she's mad, yo.

You ever seen Ribbons get mad?

No, but I don't want to, either. She's scary even when she's just getting excited about something.

Man, girls're scary.

I mean, Rhyme's aight, but that's 'cause she's my sister. Pinky was aight, too, but she ain't here no more.

[Which, thinking back on all the girls he knew who aren't here to be scary anymore, it just makes him angry. He huffs and kicks the tree.]

Yeah, no kidding. I've met a lot of scary ones, too. [And even some just plain weird ones.] There are some nice ones here, at least.

Yeah? What nice ones're there? 'Cause most a' the girls I meet are kinda scary.

Or bossy.

Um, well, Pilouette and Rei are pretty nice. Tenten's nice, too, even if she's a little weird sometimes...

Pillows? Yeah, she aight - haven't seen her in awhile so I kinda forgot. [Because THAT isn't rude to say, wow, Beat.]

...But why you say that Ten girl's weird?

[Pillows... He probably shouldn't be surprised by the nickname but it throws him off for a second anyway.]

W-well, we live on the same floor, so it's kind of hard for me to forget about her. [Shinji doesn't think too much of Beat's forgetfulness, but he can't help explaining himself anyway.] And Tenten has a big weapon collection in her apartment. She said she was a weapons expert.

[And sometimes, she just leaves her weapons strewn about...]

Man, you live on a floor fulla girls?

[....]

HEY! You can't tease me 'bout livin' with girls now!!

[HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE]

H-hey, they weren't here when I moved in! It just worked out that way.

So? They works out the same so it's the same!

[no it's not Beat.....But he doesn't care about the how or the why, just that it ends up that Shinji lives with girls, too.]

No way. Anyone can move into whatever apartment they want, it's completely different.

Nuh-uh, it's the same thing! Jus' 'cause they move in later don't mean you ain't livin' on a floor fulla girls!

[omg Beat. It's really embarrassing to have this turned on him like this, but Shinji decides to just let him have it. He wasn't going to tease him about it anymore anyway, so it should be fine.]

Okay, okay, you win, Beat. We're even now. No more teasing.

[...Oh. Oh hey! He won! Hurray! For some reason that seems to appease the spirit and he calms down, rubbing a finger against his nose.]

Hff, aight. [hurhurhur he won an argument finally. this is such a milestone]

Uh....

Oh hey, you think I can see Ten's weapons? That'd be kinda cool.

[Whew, he's kinda glad he just lets it go. It would be so much more embarrassing if he didn't.

...even though he thinks the question Beat asks is strange anyway.]

I don't know. I mean, I guess you could ask if you want, but that might be kind of weird...

Why'd it be weird? I'd show 'er my skateboard, too.

Those are two completely different things, Beat.

How? I beat people wit' it so it's kinda like a weapon.
