Chapter IV
After a couple of hours we landed, and left the plane. Delaware was eyeing us down nervously, and Arthur was leading the way to his car, which he had left parked in the airport's parking lot.
After a quiet drive, we got to Arthur's house. Said person quickly walked up and unlocked the door.
"How long are we staying here?" Leave it to Delaware to ask that question.
"A week," Arthur told us.
"You hear that, Del, you've only got to last a week! Then you'll be back at the state house and be able to hide behind New York, New Jersey, and everyone else," I teased.
"I do not hide! If anything you are the one to hide, running to your room like a frightened mouse!"
"If I'm a mouse then you must be some cheese," I shot back, smirking.
"Are you two just going to stand and bicker outside all day, or are you coming inside?" South interrupted.
"No, we're coming in," I replied, "just needed to put something in it's place."
South chuckled and entered the house, with a mad Delaware and I following behind him. Arthur showed us where to put our stuff and around the house.
Later, I was staring outside, at the rain. Honestly I had wanted to walk around the city, even if it meant having to go with the other three in the house. But now that it was raining, there was no way I was going out there.
"Do you like the rain?" I turned my head at the sound of Arthur's voice, before turning back to look outside, again.
"No, but I had wanted to go out. Guess that's out of the question." I sighed, and got up. Just as I was leaving the room, South passed me, stopping to watch me go.
As I was walking away I heard South ask what we had been talking about, that made me stop and listen.
"I asked him if he liked the rain."
"Bet he said 'no'," South laughed.
"He did. Do you know why, though?"
"North doesn't like water at all, in fact I'd say it's more of a fear or phobia of water, then dislike."
At this point I had heard enough, but as I was turning to head to my room, I ran into Mr. Jackass.
"Watch where you're going," he snapped.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there," I growled back.
"So, now you're blind, maybe it's time to get some glasses, or a seeing eye dog."
"Guys, there's no reason to fight," South interrupted.
"Spending a week here wouldn't be so bad if you weren't here!" I yelled.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing! If Alfred didn't want us to get along, then I wou-"
"SHUT UP!" Both Delaware and I turn our head at the sound of South yelling. "You two arguing will NOT help you form a sense of respect for each other!"
And with that said, Delaware turned and left, slamming the front door behind him.
A/N: Hey, look a wild update appeared. I'm so inconstant.
