Arthur walked in backwards into the room, his hair holding the door open. He dumped the stuff he was holding in the room and he and his Locks quickly started to put the room together.
Joselyn set down Arthur's bags and then stood in the door way. "It was nice meeting you," she said and then walked off.
"NICE MEEING YOU TOO!"
Arthur called after her as she walked away. When He was satisfied that his room was how he wanted it he picked up two DS' and started playing games, his hair playing with the second one. He walked out the room while playing, heading to look for more people.
arthur walked back into his room, this time with Locks leading Crys by the hand. "Here" he said, locks letting go of Crys' hand "I had to practically FIGHT to get one."
"It's been out for ten years and still everyone wants them. It's great! I'm working on getting one."
Crys said and flopped down ont he floor in front of it.
Arthur smiled broadly and started the Wii up. "So what you want to play first?" He sat next to Crys and handed her a wii-mote and nunchuk, picking up his own.
Crys smiled and looked at him. "Well what've you got?"
"Lets see"
Arthur said, diving into a pile of things still to sort. "Got these!" he cried, holding up a copy of Wii Sports, Wii play and Wario ware.
"Let's play Wii Play."
Crys said with a smile. She'd actually never seen the game before but she wasn't a sports fan and not a big Wario fan either
"K"
Arthur said, setting it up. The start screen came up and Arthur entered the two player option, using a Mii character that he created. There were only a few other Mii characters, one of which was Locks.
"So how do we play this game? Can I call you Artie? Arthur sounds really formal..."
Crys said watching the screen
"ummmm ok"
Arthur said cheerfully. He sat down next to Crys "Well, the shooting games the easiest. Its just point and click." he started up the game.
"What're we shooting?"
Crys asked
"Well, ballons are first, next the targets are the most obvious things. The golden ones give more points and don't shoot the ones with your own face on it. The next stages have us shooting clay pigeon disks and the last ones we have to shoot UFOs when they try to abduct your Mii."
Arthur explained quickly. "There's a secret aswell, the ducks that fly past pay big points."
"Cool!"
Crys said with a smile and situated herself better.
Arthur started the game up, the ballons rising up the screen. With a few shots half the ballons were gone. He was concentrating hard again, his tongue poking out the side of his mouth.
Crys grinned and started firing at the ballons, quickly clearing the rest of the screen in just a few shots.
The next level loaded, and a few targets appeared. The targets came slowly at first, but came faster and faster as the level progresed.
Arthur stuck his tongue out more, his movements getting quicker and quicker. As he did, Locks moved his tendril like dreadlocks down Arthur's arms. Locks only reached his forearms now.
Crys grinned and fire rapidly at the targets, she wanted to beat Arthur at this
Arthur fired rappidly, finishing this stage. The next stage started up, a can fell from the air. Arthur shot it and it bounced up off the screen. It fell again faster and Arthur shot at it. It fell again, Arthur shot it again. Locks began to writhe down Arthur's arms, now up to his wrists. With each inch that Locks spread over Arthur's arms he grew faster and faster. Three more cans fell and Arthur shot one to pieces before it even got to the top of the screen.
"No fair!"
Crys declared as she noticed Locks on Arthur's arms. "You're using your powers to go faster!" She complained as he took the lead. She pouted and kept trying, though every time she shot, his shot was faster
"huh?"
Arthur said, looking down at his arms. He paused the game and waved his arms madly. "GET OFF!" he yelled at Locks.
"You didn't know???"
Crys asked him with surprise.
"I don't control him, he has a mind of his own."
arthur explained, Locks retreating up his arms and back to normal. "I guess I didn't feel him going down my arms though..."
"That's weird."
Crys said with a shrug. "But cool too."
"Yeah I guess"
Arthur said, shrugging "But its a bit creepy. its like having a completely different person living on your head. I mean, what if he likes a girl and I don't? That would get... kinda creepy."
"So like can he just take control of your body?"
Crys asked him a bit nervous from his statement. Locks had creepishly kissed her hand earlier.
"No... Just wrap round it and use his muscles to direct me. We agree on most stuff though."
Arthur said, looking up at Locks. "I don't think he would go as far as to take control of my body though, he's an ok guy."
"Alright then."
Crys smiled at him and motioned back to the game. "Let's try to keep it fair this time?"
A hand came from
Arthur's head, giving a hairy thumbs up. "Right" he said, starting the game again. The two other cans fell again, Arhur managing to hit one but missing the other.
Crys shot that one and smiled widely. "Got it this time, I did I did!"
Arthur smiled widely "You just might make this difficult." The last stage loaded up and spaceships started to come down from the top, moving in random directions and trying to abduct the Miis at the bottom.
Crys grinned and shot the UFOs out of the sky
Arthur concentrated harder, the next few UFOs came down and Arthur shot them down, also managing to shoot a stray duck.
Crys yawned and stretched her arms. "This is getting boring." she stated and shot a duck
It was good timing because
Arthur shot the last of the UFOs as they came. "There" he said, putting the Wii-mote down and switching the Wii of before it put the scores up. He knew he had won but he didn't want Crys to see by how much. "What do you want to do now then?" Arthur asked, his eyes straying to the drumkit in the corner.
"You guys play drums? That's cool."
Crys said with a smile
"Well..."
Arthur said, scratching his head "WE play the drums. Two people with about twenty limbs is handy when playing drums."
"I bet! I saw some stuff on our teacher Mr. Smith. He's a musician. Didja know that?"
Crys asked him looking at the drums again. "He hasn't hit it big yet but his stuff is out there. Pretty good too. When I found out I was accepted here I did a lil look for teachers and stuff and his lyrics popped up when i searched for him. Nice lyrics really. I wonder how he plays or what he plays."
Arthur let out a small laugh. "I wonder if a band will start?" he asked jokingly. He sat down behind the drums and picked up some drum sticks, Locks elongated and became stiff at the tips. "Wanna have a listen?"
"I'd love to!"
Crys says and turns to face the drums with a huge smile on her face
"GREAT!"
Arthur said happily, noone listened to him normaly. He started out hitting out a beat, it was slow at first but it gradually got quicker and quicker. Soon, with the help of Locks it sounded close to an earthquake with rythme. It echoed round the room and around the school.
Crys stared at them. She was amazed at how his pwoers worked. It was so cool to see hair do that
After several minutes
Arthur stopped, he was breathing deeply but he seemed to be enjoying himself. "ummm... ta-da?"
Crys stood up and gave him a round of applause. "That was greaT!!!!"
Arthur blushed and Locks curled up like he was shy too. "Thanks" Arthur said "you play any instruments?"
"I learned how to play Piano, but it's just not my thing."
Crys admitted with a smile.
"Ever played the keyboard?"
Arthur asked, thinking "It's just like the piano but more rock..." He tapped his chin with a drumstick while thinking.
"I don't really like it. I said I learned how, I don't play anymore though."
Crys explained with a shrug
"Ok"
Arthur said, giving Crys a gentle prod "Don't think I won't think of you if we need a pianist"
Crys blushed when he prodded her. "I guess it wouldn't be too bad...but only if you need me."
"Promise"
Arthur said happily, laughing slightly.
"Wanna go see what everyone else is doin?"
Crys asked him
"Sure"
Arthur said smiling and walking out the door towards
the main entrance hall
Crys smiled and followed him
Morgan ran in, grabbed Arthur's TV and ran back out.
Arthur walked into his room and sighed, flopping onto the bed and sighing. Locks was limp aswell, seeming as tired as Arthur was.
Arthur woke up, he was still in his clothes and Locks was trying to make his own way out. He groaned and sat up, walking out of the door and stopped, smiling before heading off to Crys and Morgan's room for an early game of Mortal Combat.
Arthur practically danced in, running to his bags and searching through his underwear until he found some swimming shorts. Making sure the door was closed he took off his clothes and put on his shorts before leaving for the pools.
Stumble!
