Part One

[IGGY]

((You think I hadn't noticed?!))
Akemi got back with clothes, groceries and other stuff. She shut the door with her foot, and put the bags on the floor.
"I feel like a d*mn housewife here....SHI I'M HOME!!"
She walked to Shika's room, where he was napping. She sat on his bed, kissed his forehead, and the childish side of her emerged as she undid his hair and hid the band.

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

((his name went Shikamaru > Shika-kun > Shikun > Shi XD Akemi ish lazy...))

Shikamaru woke up a little while later with his hair in his eyes. "WTF??? Akemi, have you seen my hairtie?"

Meanwhile...
Cogsworth realized that getting drunk wasn't as fun without Hotep. Sure, he had sake and pudding, but he had a job to do. Over the past few weeks, he'd let himself go, but now it was time to be more self-disciplining, to teach himself that you can't just sit and get drunk all day when you're the head butler for the Prince of France.
Life was so much easier when he could just kick back and let everyone else do the thinking...

Babette had noticed a definate change in Lumiere since he'd come back. He'd always been a pervert and a flirt, but now every time ANY girl got near him, he made a huge show of attempting to flirt with/rape/compliment-to-death them. He was acting more affectionate towards Babette than ever before, but he wasn't on any love potion. And the weirdest part was, when not trying to win over a girl, all he did was mope around and yell at people, normally a hungry Cogsworth's job. It was as if someone he cared about had dumped him and he was trying to convince everyone he didn't care... no, trying to convince himself...

[IGGY]

Akemi poked her head in the room innocently. "Your hairtie? Why, Shika-kun?" She jumped next to him and kissed his cheek. "Just as I thought, you look nice without your hair up." She ruffled his hair a little, then sighed. "I miss Dave. It's hard to realize he isn't here to make us crack up, huh?"

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

"DAVE? Yeah, I guess it is sorta quiet without him when you think about it," said Shika. "Now... what did you do with my hairtie?!"

In New York...
Dave walked in the door after saying goodbye to Faith and the random Avenue Q characters he said bye to to be polite. Sasugay ran after him. "So this is where we live, Dad?"
Hearing voices, Dave's mom walked in. "Honey! You're home! How was Japan?"
"Good. I met some really nice bisexual people."
"That's great, honey." And then she saw Sasugay. "Um, Dave... who is this?"
"Oh, that's Sasugay... my son."
AWKWARD SILENCE.

[IGGY]

Akemi smiled. "Oh, nothing. I just put it on your table, and if you were a little more energetic, you could turn your head and see. But as long as you're looking at me, it's all good." She kissed him on the lips, hugging him. "You know, it really isn't the same without the rest of the gang here too. Exept Lumiere. He better not go anywhere remotely near me."

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

"No. It's not. Everytime I turn around I expect Naruto to be spazzing over ramen, or Cogsworth getting drunk on sake, or Meg poisoning people with cookies. But they wouldn't all fit in our apartment..." He sighed. "I wonder if they miss us."
((there is a life outside your apartment, Shika! which is an Avenue Q song))

[IGGY]

"Ummm, Shikamaru, you haven't been using the computer for....wierd things lately have you?"
Akemi brought up tha subject very carefully, because some very strange site names had come up in the history of Internet use. She knew it wasn't her, but unless some perv snuck into thier house to look at wierd stuff, then she assumed it was Shika.

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

((which perv were you thinking of?
*sings* the internet is great...))

"Weird things? No. Why? I looked up that site that Dave goes on... Bitter, Sleet, and Deranged, or something, it's so stupid... but that's about it."

[IGGY]

Akemi sighed. "Goood. It may have been Ino, come to think of it..."

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

"INO? Oh, god. How did she get into our house?" Shika groaned.

((brb shower))

[IGGY]

Akemi had a headdesk. "I was kidding. Maybe it's a glitch."

[IGGY]

((Look I was taking those spin the bottle quizzes on quizilla and LOOK:


You gave another anguished sigh knowing you couldn't do anything about it and gave the bottle a spin, watching it go 'round and 'round, until it stops on...

Tobi.

Oh joy.))

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

((TOBI. XDDDD sucks to be you.
hey you got a PROBLEM with Joy? XP))

"Okay... still it could have been some perv who's too lazy to get their own computer."

[IGGY]

Akemi had a lightbulb appear pver her head. "Kankuro!! Or Gaara, to look at stick figure porn!!"

[bodie the almighty and awesome]

((XD STICK FIGA))

"Let's go ask them, then," said Shika, sighing at the effort of getting up.
