My life Series

[ZenNaari]

Introduction

All I will do is post a random story irregularly, I will start the next chapter when I receive a comment. Focusing on a teenage boy named Zen and his ordinary life that is soon turned into a totally random lifestyle. His fantasies, love, school and other areas in his life are totally randomized after he dreams about a world that changed his life forever.

Let's begin the Introduction.

It was another ordinary day in Zen's life. As he walked home from school, he talked to his imaginary friend Jediael. They were talking about Zen's fail mark in Foreign Language. Along the road, a girl was waiting for the cars to stop.

"Oi, Trish. How?s school?" Zen asked as he walked toward her.

"Nothing too much happened." she replied. Trish is Zen's next-door neighbor who is rather short, but she's cute as well as boisterous.

Jediael left the two to themselves. As they approached their home, they waved goodbye to each other as they opened the door to their home. Zen took off his jacket-vest and changed his pants into shorts. Jediael was waiting for him in Zen's bedroom. Zen immediately grabbed a chair and started using the computer.

Zen is a total addict to the computer, he claims that the computer is like drugs or alcohol to him. He first made a research for his Asian History assignment. He quickly opened up Wikipedia and copy-pasted the details into a Word file. After doing so, he read the topic himself then switched to Facebook which he every-now-and-then updates. Jediael happily munched on an imaginary apple while peacefully resting on the bed.

After some time, Zen received an IM message from Yahoo Messenger. It was from Juliet, Zen's most honorable chat mate.

"Hey Zen. How was school today?"

Zen replied quickly, "I failed another Foreign Language exam."

"Geez, why won?t you give it up and make it a normal part of your life?" She asked.

"How can I, I'm a guy. I always feel bad for a failing mark no matter what subject." Zen typed down gracefully.

Juliet gave some thought then typed down, "Well, at least your Math grades are good, not to mention Computer."

Zen is a master in math and computer among his class. "Thanks, you always know how to put a smile on my face."

Juliet laughed, then typed down, "Haha, Do I now?"

After a nice chat, Zen started to feel hungry. Jediael was enjoying the scent of an imaginary flower that sat right next to Zen's flower pot. Zen got some noodles that were in the fridge and poured tomato sauce all over the top of it. Then he placed it in the microwave for a minute.

"Do you always have to eat spaghetti for dinner?" Jediael asked.

"Jed, it's one of the easiest food to make. Not to mention, it's my favorite anyway." Zen replied while smiling.

"Well, when was the last time we ate at a restaurant?" Jediael popped in.

Zen looked up to remember, then he replied "Last month, we ate the original French spaghetti at that French restaurant. It tastes so good I even forgot the name of the place."

"Geez man." Jediael murmured.

After eating, Zen went back to the computer. He had received an IM from his classmate, Jus. "Zen, did you do our homework in Asian History?"

Zen typed fast for no reason, "Yup, it was about the Pearl Harbor incident right?"

"Yup," Jus replied, "How about that one in math?"

Zen recalled the announced assignments, "Not yet." Zen replied innocently.

"Well, i haven't either. Page 136 numbers 45-55." Jus typed down.

Zen replied a thank you then finished his homework.

Jediael popped in again, "Geez Zen, you still need someone to remind you of your homework?"

Zen gave it some thought, "Yeah, I do. Why ask?"

Jediael rolled his eyes, "Nothing, just wanted to bring something up."

The clock passed to 9pm, Zen's usual time to go to bed. But with problems sleeping it takes him about half an hour to get some sleep. He uttered a silent prayer then started sleeping. Zen gets a dream every night and remembers correctly what happened in that dream. But this time, it was different. Whenever Zen would dream, Jediael, in a much more real form, would help him stand up. Jediael uses the form of an teenage pirate, wearing a head bandanna, a napkin scarf, leather tights, iron elbow, shoulder and knee pads, boots and a belt that can hold three smoke bombs and four knives.

In this dream, the sky was in such colors of pink and yellow puffed together. They were standing in front of a sign that read, "Magic Carnival." All sorts of stuff was there. There was a dragon that acted as a roller coaster, a merry-go-round with real unicorns and there were also lots of booths that were of totally random magical means. One of the booths interested Zen, the sign read, "The Never-Ending Road of Life." Zen walked in the booth with Jediael by his side.

The owner asked, "Would you two friends like to experience, no, have the opportunity to walk the Never-Ending Road of Life?"

Zen asked back, "What?s to lose?"

The owner replied with a smile, "It only costs fifty gold pieces. I cannot explain the details cause that will spoil the fun, but I assure, I do not lie."

Zen made a soft reply, "Well, we don?t have?'

Jediael interrupted by holding down a small bag of gold pieces, containing one-hundred gold pieces. "For two." says Jediael.

Zen took a confused look, then asked, "Jed, where did you get such money?"

"Hello" why do you think I dress as a Pirate? For fun? I don't think so. I don?t go with you in your class time, what do you think I do then? I, Jediael Naari, am an honorable pirate under Captain Scheherazade. And..."

"Okay, calm down, I get your point." Zen interrupted.

The owner laughed softly, "Well, shall I start casting?"

Zen and Jediael looked at each other then they both nodded. In a flash, both of them found themselves on a brick road that leads straight without end. The sky had fair light and was blue. Outside the road was wild grass all throughout.

Zen murmured, "Well, this is a road, and it doesn't look like it ends."

"Well, let's get on with this." Jediael said proudly.

Then he took one step and disappeared! Zen, curious, did the same. After disappearing, he found himself waking up in bed with his alarm clock ringing at 5am. But what happened to Jediael? let's wait until my next post.

[ZenNaari]

Zen woke up in bed with the alarm clock ringing at 5am. However, Jediael wasn't around. Zen thought he went off sailing or pillaging a town right now, after all, he is imaginary. Zen went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. He got an apple from the fruit basket and ate it all up. He felt kind of lonely without Jediael around. He got dressed for school. He put on his polo shirt and black pants. He put on his jacket-vest and black shoes. Lastly, he put on his watch and prepared his bag. When he went outside, he found Jediael sleeping on the fence.

Zen tried to wake him up, "Jed, you there? Jed, it's 6am, almost time for school. Jed! Wake up!"

Jed woke up in shock, "What the?" he fell over the other side of the fence, "Hey Zen, what was that for? I don't usually go to school with you anyway."

Zen sighed out, "Today is Monday, remember?"

"Monday, that means?" Jediael was too overjoyed to speak.

"Yes, today Nikki and Nicolea are going to go on our weekly date." said Zen with a bashful look.

Jediael, without saying a word, rushed to the house, fixing himself up with one of those handsome gentleman getups.

"Okay Jed, you practice your charismatic conversation, I'll go to school now." and Zen went off to walk Trish to school.

Zen knocked on Trish's door. When she opened the door, she was in her usual house clothes. A loose, worn out, thin shirt with short trimmed shorts, and REALLY short trimmed shots. That kind of getup always seems to stun Zen for five minutes. Trish looked at Zen in his school uniform. In shock, she rushed to her room to get dressed. Zen snapped out of being stunned. This usually happens thrice a week to Zen, but never in a row. When Trish got dressed, they set off to their walk to school.

At the traffic, Trish started a conversation, "Zen, today is your weekly date with? what's her name?"

"Ah yes, Nikki. We only do this because she has problems with her love life. Handling five boyfriends must be tough for a girl." Zen explained.

"Well," Trish blushed for a second, then continued boisterously, "how come you never took me on a date? I'm your next door neighbor!"

Zen was shocked. It's been quite awhile since Trish ever showed interest to Zen. Last time, she slapped Zen in the face going, "Zen you're so cute! Zen is so cute!" for about ten minutes. Without noticing, Zen was dozed off by the memory.

"Zen, are you there? We can walk now." Trish announced to Zen.

'Ah, what's that? Oh yes, walk. Right. Right foot fir?" at that very moment, the GO signal went on. Zen and Trish had to wait another three or ten minutes to get walking.

Zen and Nikki met up at the school gate. Trish left to the classroom unnoticed.

"Eh? Where's Jed?" asked Nikki. "Nicolea woke me up in excitement for her date."

"Well, I was the one who woke him up." Zen muttered out, "He'll be ready in a jiffy. At least they'll have more time to have fun."

Nikki looked up the situation, then slapped Zen on the face, "What are you thinking, pervert?"

"Wah? No! Nothing at all. Hehe." Zen sighed, "Oh well, better get to class."

"You better not be thinking too much in class, pervert." Nicole added.

Every Monday, Nicole always blabbers about Zen being a pervert. It's like Nikki's nickname to him.

Meanwhile Jediael and Nicolea have hanging out in an abandoned Love-bar, which is now an imaginary Love-bar where imaginary couples meet. They went off to drink, unfortunately, when Jed takes even one sip of alcohol, he goes into a drunken frenzy. This time, he drank the whole bottle. With that, he pushed the bartender aside saying, "You serve too slow old man!" After a hiccup, he served everyone using one arm and did bottle exhibitions with the other. Nicolea smiled. Every consecutive second, Jediael would kiss Nicolea on the cheek while serving.

The clock kept ticking ever so slowly for Zen. It was Foreign Language time and Zen couldn't understand a thing the teacher is saying. Alex, Zen's backseat classmate who is quite a gangster, woke Zen up by hitting him with a pen.

"Yo dog, wake up. The teacha is still talkin?." Alex whispered.

"I'm awake idiot. Pfft, stupid dog gangster." Zen whispered back.

Zen usually gets B on every subject except computer, where he gets A's or A+'s, and Foreign Language, where he gets F to D. Alex usually gets C in Foreign Language, so he thinks he has the right to tease Zen. But, Alex gets D on all other subjects except Physical Education.

Finally, Foreign Language ended, time for recess. Zen would hang-out with his two most trusted classmates, Gen and Jus. Gen is the Brain of the class. He is the target of the gangsters in the class, most probably to steal the homework and copy it. Jus is a head shorter than a normal teenager, which why he is called Sardine in class. But Jus is great at talk fighting. He knows how to counter every mockery the bullies say. Zen is just a wall to keep the bullies away from them.

"You know Zen, you can't just fail all the time in Foreign Language." Gen advised Zen. After finishing the food in his mouth, he continued, "If you want to study in Japan you have to at least C+ the subject."

"And what does studying Portuguese have to do with Japan?" Zen countered.

"I bet, even if we had Japanese you'd still be Foreign Language Dropout." Jus added in.

The last subject taught before school ends is computer. Zen's most favorite subject. They had a practical test on using Macromedia Flash. Zen finished first and perfected the test so he was allowed an early leave. Zen packed up and headed for the school gate where Nikki would meet him. In the Girls classroom, last subject is Home Economics and Nikki got early leave for finishing the cross stitch early and perfect as well. They went to a restaurant street, a place where all the buildings around are restaurants except for the Real Estate building that was in the corner of the street. Whenever the two will go on this date, they always go to a different place every time. Last week, they explored the city and the outskirts with it. After they chose a restaurant, they happily ordered and started the conversation.

"And today's problem may be?" Said Zen in a psychologist-like voice.

"John keeps talking to other girls even in front of me, Martin seems to be avoiding me and Dan doesn't sit beside me anymore." Nikki briefly explained.

Zen wanted to get off topic, "And what happened to the other two?"

"Ah, I dumped them, stupid cheaters." Nikki frowned.

Zen has had a crush on Nikki since elementary. He always wanted to make a move on Nikki but never got the chance to. Friendly weekly dates is the closest Zen and Nikki could get.

"I see, well," Zen started singing while whispering, "I'd do anything just to hold you in my arms."

"What did you say?" Nikki started.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Zen sighed

"You look worried, is everything alright in your life?" Nikki said with a smile.

Zen could never resist Nikki's rare smile. He was stunned and could only stare at her.

Nikki slapped him in the face, "Just what were you thinking pervert?"

"Will you stop calling me pervert?" Zen broke in.

"How's ecchi?" Nikki said with an evil smile.

"Please stop that, ecchi is the same thing." Zen started getting upset.

"What's wrong, am I putting dirty thoughts into your mind?" Nikki said devilishly, "How about if I do this?" Nikki put her hand on Zen"s cheek and got closer.

Zen was in great shock, his heart was racing. Could this be the result of the dream?

Then Nikki slapped him in the cheek again with greater force that Zen fell off the chair.

Nikki went on with a confused look, "How many times has someone said you're stupid?"

"Ow, about, three to five times a day." Zen muttered out.

They barely spoke to each other when they ate. They were quiet until they got to Nikki's house.

"Hey, before you leave, can I slap you in the face again?" Nikki asked.

"Go ahead, you're a girl." Zen lets girls do almost anything to him.

Nikki, instead of slapping Zen, held his cheek again. Coming closer, she said, "Thank you, I was feeling lonely." Then she pushed Zen to the ground and continued to her door.

Zen got up and saw the imaginary couple coming by. Nicolea was smiling as she tightly held onto Jediael's arm. Jediael can't stop moving, he was too drunk Nicolea had to hold him so he would stay in one place.

"Hello Zen ol' pal *hic* hawrya *hic* Doin'? *hic*" Jediael was able to mutter out.

Nicolea explained to Zen everything that happened.

"Thanks. C'mon Jed, before you kill someone let's head home. I have a surprise for you." Zen smiled devilishly.

"Really?" Jed asked with a big silly anime smile.

When they arrived home, Zen rushed into the kitchen and opened a secret drawer, inside was an empty paper bag. Zen reached in and got an imaginary peice of giniger and forced it into Jed's mouth. A few seconds later, Jed was cured.

"Jed, you had me worried sick, this is the third Monday you got drunk." Zen scolded.

"Hey, I got 300g for serving the bar, so we had a drink. Then we remembered it was the saint Jed's birthday, so we had another drink." Jediael was still a bit drunk.

Zen sighed, "C'mon, I have to finish my homework before I get some sleep. Can you schedule something tommorow."

"And what might that be?" Jed smiled while taking out a pen and notpad.

"Bah, schedule a date with Trish tommorow." Zen sighed again.

"You're finally going out with her?" Jed was confused.

"She asked me to ask her on a date. What can I do?" Zen tripled sighed.

After doing some homework, it was already late for bedtime, 10pm. Zen thought he heard a crash. But then he thought it was Jed trying to walk on walls. Zen uttered a prayer and went to sleep.

Was it Jed or was it really a crash? Find out in my next post.

[ZenNaari]

Zen woke up at 4:30am as he had to sneeze. As he awoke he noticed he holding something really soft. As he looked at the other side of his bed and found a naked girl sleeping beside him. He then realized that he sneezed because of her hair. (Sorry, this idea came from to-LOVE-ru)

Then he thought to himself, "Hey wait, what is a naked girl doing in my bed?"

He jumped out of the bed shouting, "WHAT THE HELL! WHAT THE HELL IS A GIRL DOING IN MY BED?!"

Jed popped out of nowhere, "Hey, Zen. What are you doing 4:30 in the morning. Huh? WHAT THE HELL IS A GIRL DOING IN YOUR BED?!"

"How am I supposed to know?!" Zen exclaimed, "Ah, she's waking up."

The girl woke up, covering herself in the blanket because it was cold. She stretched out one arm while yawning. Zen and Jed are petrified just staring at her.

"Oh, hi. You must be Zen. Why do you feel so panic stricken?" She asked.

"H-how do you know my name?! And what are y-you doing naked in my house?!" Zen was able to mutter out.

"Oh, your name was in your mail box. It's a good thing I memorized earthling writing before i came here." She replied with a smile, "Oh wait, I put my clothes in your cabinet. Sorry, I'm used to sleeping naked. By the way, the name is Rikka."

Jediael whispered to Zen, "Didn't she just say, 'earthling writing.' "

"Umm... yeah. I guess." Zen replied.

After Rikka put on her clothes, she informed Zen, "Oh, by the way. I'm not human. I'm what you call an alien see, I have four legs!" Rikka showed off her four legged jeans that fit her four legs. Aside that, she was just an inch shorter than Zen. Her breast size was near perfect (Just adding to the statement ^_^). And she was pretty and cute as well.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=878916&id=1214707595

The fact just stunned Zen. He didn't mind the four legs but she still looked cute.

"You know what Zen, I found out a lot about you. I like you. I want to be, how you call, your fiance!" Rikka smiled out.

"You're kidding right?!" Zen asked, still panic-stricken.

"I found out about you by reading your mind. I like you!" Rikka smiled again, then cling unto his arm.

"WHAT THE! HEY! Get off me!" Zen tried to push her aside, "Jed! Help Me!"

"Like how?! I'm Imaginary!" Jediael popped in.

After such, Rikka put on a confused look. Then she ran out of the house in a flash.

Zen looked at Jediael, "Don't say a word. This didn't happen okay?"

Jediael replied, "Alright. This event kinda annoyed me anyway."

Zen prepared to hit the bath. He got his towel and went into the bathroom. But then, he heard the shower was on. He opened the curtains and saw Rikka taking a shower.

"Hi Honey! Did you want to take a bath with me?" Rikka smiled out again.

She pinned Zen to the bathroom rug. "JED! SAVE ME!" Zen shouted.

Jed came in, Rikka couldn't see him yet. "You lucky bastard! I should leave you alone!" Jed laughed out.

"JED! DON'T LEAVE ME! I'M BEING ASSAULTED BY A FOUR-LEGGED GIRL! HELP ME!" Zen shouted.

Zen was able to get out of the situation without getting assaulted on (l_~). He did feel weak though. He put on his school clothes and packed up his bag. He munched on an apple on the way to Trish's house. This time Trish was dressed and ready unlike yesterday (refer to chapter 1 "What The 'Eck!").

"Oi, Trish. You're prepared today." Zen smiled out.

"Well, I didn't want 'that' to happen again." Trish laughed out.

"Hehe, umm... Trish. I thought about what you said yesterday. I found this nice restaurant by the seaside. Want to come." Zen blushed.

"Are you asking me out?" Trish asked with a smile.

"Well, whatever you want to call it." Zen put in his I'll-do-almost-anything-for-a-girl attitude.

Trish smiled, "Okay! But first, let's head for school."

Rikka learned how to see imaginary friends now. So Jediael just kept Rikka company at home. First subject in school is secondary science. Zen was calm, he nearly forgot about Rikka until the teacher mentioned the word, "Alien," in class. Second subject is Asian History, again, the teacher mentioned that word again. Third subject was Physical Education, Zen was pretty sure the teacher won't mention that word. In P.E. they were learning some basic dance moves. The thing that shocked Zen, the music was set to "Techno." Last subject before recess, Foreign Language. Zen prayed that the teacher won't mention that word, until Zen had the drop-out feeling, every time the teacher spoke, he would feel as if an alien is talking. Recess came by, and everyone kept talking about the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens." Zen ate while shaking in fear.

Every subject went through that word. Finally, the school bell rang. Zen was twitching a part of his body as he walked toward the school gate. Trish was there waiting for him. Without a word, she held his hand. Zen felt warm while holding her hand so he stopped twitching. Zen led her to an Italian restaurant that was by the seaside as promised. Obviously, Zen ordered Spaghetti and since Trish doesn't know any Italian delicacy, she doubled the order.

"So, just to bring up a conversation, how's school?" Zen started.

"It was scary, ever since I said that I will be going out with you, everyone couldn't believe it. How about you? Did you happen to mention it?" Trish thoroughly said and asked.

"I usually don't, many of my guys have a crush on you so I better not tell or they'll hold a grudge against me." Zen sighed.

Trish put up a confused look, "Many of the boys have a crush on me?"

The order was ready, the waiter wanted to see their reaction to the taste.

"Wow! This is delicious!" If Zen were in a lie test, he'd be clean and true if he said that, but really it was just a lie.

Trish tasted the pasta, "Umm, it could use some more sau..."

Zen interrupted and whispered to Trish, "This is an Italian restaurant, they will not forgive you if you ask for more sauce on your spaghetti."

Trish then said, "It is nice. Fair work. Hehe."

The waiter was happy and went on with his work. The couple ate at the terrace-table where there was a view. Suddenly, irregular foot steps were heard. Zen didn't mind yet. Trish enjoyed her meal, she was thankful she didn't get caught. Zen wanted to confess already his love for Trish. He put up a serious look and put his hand on Trish's cheek.

Zen was very nervous. He was able to mutter out, "Trish, I know this maybe be sudden but, I can't hold back anymore... How do I say this, I-I L-love Y-you."

Rikka popped out of nowhere hugging Zen to the ground. "I knew you did! I love you too Zen! And you love me too!" (sorry, another idea from to-LOVE-ru)

"Rikka! What are you doing here?!" Zen blasted.

"Congratulations Zen." Trish smiled, even though it was obvious she was hurt inside. She left the restaurant with one tear drop.

"Ah, TRISH! COME BACK! PLEASE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS FOUR-LEGGED GIRL CAME FROM! HONESTLY! PLEASE COME BACK!" Zen tried.

Too late, Trish already left. Zen was panic-stricken, until one of the waiters told him not to shout. Zen left the payment on the table and sobbed on his way home, with Rikka clinging unto his arm. The moon was up early, even though it was still 7pm.

"Zen, this is a lovely night." Rikka pulled up, "In my planet, we have twenty moons, but here on earth it is most beautiful."

Zen blasted into anger, "What are you saying?! I barely know you and now you're hitting on me! You ruined my chance to be with whom I wanted! And you embarrassed me in front of rich people! Your own existence gives me fear in school and you're a complete headache!"

Rikka was silent as she stared at Zen's angry face, she loudly cried as she ran away. Zen got hurt as well, it has been quite a long time since he ever shouted at a girl. But he felt like it was for the greater good. As he came home, he heard Rikka crying. He looked at the backyard and saw her crying in front of her wrecked Spaceship.

She kept repeating again and again, "Rikka is so stupid, I am so stupid, Rikka is so stupid, I am so stupid." while crying.

This time Zen felt really hurt, he definitely had no feelings for her but he really wanted to apologize. He came closer to her and held her in the shoulder.

"Rikka, sorry about what happened back there." Zen straightly pointed out.

"Why are you apologizing! I'm the one who ruined your life and made you angry! I'm the one who is stupid! I'm the one who should say sorry!" Rikka kept on crying.

"Rikka, I'm the one who ignored you and hurt your feelings as well. It's normal for us earthlings to get mad once in a while. So, if you will stop crying, I will forget everything that happened. Okay?" Zen smiled at her.

Rikka hugged Zen, trying her best to stop crying. "Thank you, you made me feel better." she muttered out. They talked about human feelings all through the night, at the same time they talked about the Earth's nature. A shooting star flashed in the sky, Zen quickly explained to her the myth about wishing upon a star. Rikka gave it some thought, then she wished to herself, "I wish Zen will always be this kind to me." Zen didn't believe the myth but he wished as well, "I wish my life will have even more weird adventures like this."

Zen stayed up that night to finish his homework, good enough he only had one to finish. He slept in the couch, giving the bed to Rikka. Jediael, well, he knocked himself out on alcohol.

Coming up, a good friend comes into town. Who might he be? Find out in my next post!
please leave a comment.

[ZenNaari]

Wednesday is one of Zen's favorite days, the day before the weekends. Zen woke up with the feeling that his arm is having frostbite. He then realizes that Rikka is sleeping on top of him, again naked.

"RIKKA! WHAT THE HELL! MY ARM IS ALMOST BLACK NUMB!" Zen shouted after rolling out of the couch.

Rikka replied drowsily, "Uhm, good morning Zen. I don't feel right when I sleep alone. So I..."

"Never mind," Zen sighed, "want to take a walk around the park after school?"

"Are you asking me on a date?!" Rikka was overjoyed she forgot to keep the blanket on to cover (l_~).

Zen turned back, "No, not at all. Just wondering if you would like to continue our talk about earth."

"Ah, I read all your science books while I was trying to sleep. They were so short I got bored easy." Rikka puffed in.

"SHORT! MY SCIENCE BOOKS HAVE ABOUT 300 PAGES EACH!" Zen was about to look behind until he remembered that Rikka was still naked.

"In my planet, books are very thin but they have about 30000 pages each." Rikka smiled in, "By the way, how do you use that Magic Box thing in your room?"

"What magic box?" Zen was confused.

"You know that big heavy thing with many buttons." Rikka popped in, "I spent most of the night trying to figure out how to use it."

"Oh no," Zen sensed something bad, he rushed into his room and saw his computer completely disassembled, but fortunately not broken. He shouted in agony, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BELOVED COMPUTER?!" (refer to introduction)

"Oh, don't worry about that. I can fix it." Rikka smiled.

"Like freaking how?!" Zen was still in shock, staring at his disassembled computer.

Rikka pushed Zen aside, seriously staring at the components of his computer. Then, like magic, The computer reassembled itself. Zen couldn't believe his eyes.

"H-how d-did y-you d-do that?!" Zen shockingly asked.

"Well, I'm that what you call an alien, so I can do things humans can't do." Rikka replied happily.

Zen snapped out, he put himself back to formalities, "Well, I'll be going to school now. Now, where are my clothes?"

Zen got dressed for school. When he opened the door, Jediael was there in front of him, staring angrily at him.

"umm, hey Jed. What's going on?" Zen asked.

"Ugh, I have a bad feeling I'll be ignored by you ever since your chick passed by." Jediael complained

"She's not my chick! And besides, you drank yourself unconscious leaving her to run away." Zen answered back.

"Oh great, right. How can I believe you? You don't even know the event that's going to happen today." Jediael was still in fury.

"What event?" Zen confusingly asked.

"Cherlz is moving into the neighborhood!" Jediael exclaimed.

Zen was instantly shocked, "The Cherlz that was my childhood friend and hero, the one who taught me how stay cool even in front of the computer?"

"Yes." Jed directly answered.

Cherlz Is Zen's Childhood best friend and hero. He's much of a gangster and a b-boy I would suppose. He likes cool stuff in the outside world, break-dancing, rock n' roll and other related matter.

"Jed, I will not ignore you again. Remind me that." Zen tapped Jediael on the shoulder.

"Thanks man." Jed cried.

"Well, I'll leave Rikka in your hands again. I'm going to pick up Trish again. See you!" And Zen went off.

Trish was all up and ready again. Zen picked her up normally, he completely forgot about what happened yesterday (refer to chapter 2 "My Alien"). Trish didn't speak a word, she was still embarrassed about what happened yesterday.

At the traffic, Zen started a conversation, "So, what do you plan to do after school?"

"To take a walk around the park. We don't have homework during Wednesdays anyway." Trish said with a serious look. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, I plan to commit suicide on Friday at midnight." said Zen with a serious look.

"WHAT! WHATEVER FOR?! WAS I THAT MEAN TO YOU YESTERDAY?!" Trish screamed in agony

"If I planned to commit suicide, things would've gotten interesting." Zen laughed, "I can't believe you fell for that."

"You're mean!" Trish laughed as well.

"By the way, my memory isn't too good. What did happen yesterday?" Zen brought up.

"You don't remember?" Trish asked back.

"All I remember yesterday was that everyone in school kept talking about aliens. I can't remember a thing after school." Zen put up.

"Well, I guess things is better off unsaid." Trish didn't want to remember what happened as well, "By the way, who was that four-legged girl you were with?"

"You noticed. Well, her name is Rikka." Zen tried to put up a lie, "She was born with four legs, she just passed by to stay at my house for a few days. She's a childhood friend, that's all."

Trish made a confused look, whether to believe him or not. Just then, the traffic light went on and off they went to school.

Meanwhile, at the front lawn of Zen's house. Jediael and Rikka were having a gossip.

"Jed, what does Zen like?" Rikka popped in.

"Hm? why ask?" Jediael asked back.

Rikka blushed "I want to give Zen something. You know to..."

"Say no more. Now let me enumerate, don't interrupt I'll talk to myself." Jediael started concentrating on the matter, "He likes spaghetti, using the computer, apples, mangoes, and most of all, VIDEO GAMES!"

Rikka had to say something, "Aside his computer, I don't know what any of those things are."

"Eh?" Jed was confused, "Well, he also like steel shiny accessories."

"THAT'S IT!" Rikka shouted. She went to the backyard to her space ship. Thus you can hear large banging sounds.

Finally, they're here. Cherlz and the moving truck. They quickly fixed up his house in an hour's time. The movers got their pay and Cherlz settled in.

Zen walked Trish home, but then he directly went to see Cherlz.

"Cherlz, ma brotha froma anotha motha! Where have you been!" Zen called out with joy.

"Zen ma man! What have you been doing?" Cherlz replied.

Zen couldn't stop talking, "Dude, there's so much you need to see here! The restaurants, schools, dance clubs, bars..."

"Enough with that, you already know one good reason, aside that you're my best bud, why I'm here." Cherlz put a cinnamon stick in his mouth.

"Oh yeah. Right. Girls." Zen smiled, "Well, sadly I only know few girls around here. Come around, I'll introduce you to my neighbors."

They set off to Trish's house. She came out with her house clothes.

Zen was stunned he couldn't speak again.

"Hiya, I'm Cherlz, I just moved in. Me and Zen have been best buds since childhood. You?" Cherlz introduced himself.

"Give me a minute," Trish went to change clothes, she kept her shirt on but changed her shorts into jeans, "Hi, welcome to the neighborhood Cherlz, I'm Trish, Zen's neighbor and classmate."

"Pleasure to meet you," Cherlz wasn't satisfied at all, "C'mon Zen, show me your next neighbor."

Zen snapped out of being stunned, "What's that? Oh yeah. Right. Next."

Trish giggled as they left, "At least, that's the Zen I know."

Next up was Dave's house. Zen only visits during weekends to his house to play Wii or research about anime. He lives with his siblings, Dea, Diane, Dominic and Deuel.

Zen has a thing for Dea, she's one year younger than Zen but what does he care?

Dea opened the door, "Yes may I help you."

Zen was stunned again.

"Hiya, I'm Cherlz. I just moved in. What am I saying, you already know me!" Cherlz just realized.

"Yeah, Zen's best friend, since childhood. Come in, Dave prepared the Nintendo Wii for you, unfortunately he's asleep at the moment." Dea persuaded.

"That's fine, but no thanks. My bud is going to introduce to the others." Cherlz winked.

"Okay, see you" Dea waved goodbye.

There are no other neighbors and it was night time.

"Dude, I don't think I'm going to fit in with all your SHORT girls in the neighborhood." Cherlz complained.

"Sorry dude. I devoted my life to the computer nowadays I don't want to meet anyone else." Zen smiled. "Oh by the way, I got you a gift"

"Hm?" Cherlz was confused, "What did you get?"

Zen rushed into the house to get it, he got two boxes, a big one and a small one. "Pick which one you want to open first." Zen pushed in.

Cherlz chose the big box first, it was a tattoo drill. "DUDE! How did you know?!" Cherlz exclaimed.

"Well ever since you started to like getting tattoos I bought one for your next visit" Zen explained.

Cherlz opened the small box and found a ring with a skull trinket on it, "Dude, what's with this?" Cherlz was astonished.

"I got an opportunity to experience blacksmithing. I used the extra time to forge a skull ring." Zen explained again.

"I love ya man. I take back what I said, I guess I don't need too many girls after all." Cherlz cried.

"I'm just happy that you're happy." Zen smiled.

Just then, Rikka popped out of the backyard, going, "ZEN HONEY! LOOK WHAT I GOT YOU!"

Cherlz couldn't believe his eyes, he was stunned.

"RIKKA WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY TO YOU ABOUT POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE?!" Zen shouted off.

"LOOK! I MADE YOU A BRACELET! PUT IT IN YOUR ARM! PUT IT IN YOUR ARM!" Rikka continued.

The bracelet was made of thick metal with "ZEN" carved in the middle. But it had one problem, only Rikka can take it off.

"RIKKA, GET THIS THING OFF MY WRIST!" Zen shouted.

"I don't want to, yet." Rikka smiled devilishly.

"Dude, you got to introduce me to her." Cherlz whispered to Zen.

Cherlz is going to hit on Rikka? You think it'll be successful? Find out in my next post.

[ZenNaari]

After the backyard struggle. Rikka did get the bracelet off Zen.

"Umm, Cherlz. I don't care if you don't believe me. This here is Rikka, she's an alien that crash landed here a few days ago." Zen explained.

"Wow...that...explains...a lot..." Cherlz was still a bit stunned at the looks of Rikka

"Well, I'm going to make dinner, I still have a fridge full of Spaghetti, I mean, always full of spaghetti. Care to join?" Zen asked.

"Are we going to have dinner with Rikka?" Cherlz was looking at Rikka's chest. Rikka is still confused about Earth and doesn't know how to wear a bra. And she was full of sweat after trying to make the bracelet. (l_~)

"Okay, come in if you're ready." And Zen went in the house, unknown about Cherlz interest in Rikka.

"What are you looking at Cherlz?" Rikka smiled at him.

"Ah? Your..." Cherlz then realized how rude that would be, "Nothing!"

"I don't have a nothing. Is this what you call a nothing?" Rikka held her breasts up, "Zen told me these are called breasts."

Cherlz spoke to himself, "Not only is she Freaking hot! She's also a moron! Oh, this is gonna get me laid easy!" Cherlz was dazed by the thought.

"Cherlz, you are Zen's best friend right?" Rikka popped in.

"Why yes. Why ask?" Cherlz asked back.

Rikka set her sights to the sky and the gentle wind blew against her, "I want to know more about Zen, can you tell me."

"Then what may be your first question?" Cherlz politely responded.

They talked for thirty minutes, then Zen came along with the food ready.

Cherlz talked to himself again, "Damn, Why does this girl like Zen so much? I don't want to hurt Zen, I'll have to take her slowly."

"Honey, this is delicious! What is it called again? Sphrajeggi?" Rikka leaned on Zen's shoulder.

"Get off my shoulder!" Zen laughed, "It's called Spa-ghe-tti."

"Spaghe-tti, got it" Rikka smiled.

"So Cherlz, aside from girls and me, what brings you here?" Zen asked,

"I needed to attend a cheaper school, our school back where I came from became so expensive" Cherlz replied.

Zen smiled, "Well, the school here is nice and cheap.

Meanwhile, Jed was trying to make champagne using apples and bread-yeast as the ingredients. Nicolea came over as well to help. Jediael peeled the apples and refined the bread-yeast. Nicolea prepared the utensils needed. Together they made a successful bottle of champagne. The shared ideas about selling more bottles. Then they both stared at the bottle, then drank recklessly and knocked themselves out.

The three were as full as ever. Zen was taking the plates and the utensils to the kitchen sink. Rikka was trying to sleep in the fence like Jediael, but she just fell over, she didn't puke because of her alien abilities. Cherlz, he went home sleeping in his hammock, it suddenly rained so he went inside. Zen grabbed Rikka inside and told her that it is not healthy to stay outside during the rain.

It was late 10pm, Zen had no choice but to sleep with Rikka that night. He didn't mind Jediael and Nicolea unconscious on the floor. Rikka was happy she could sleep with Zen, only she was uncomfortable because she was forced to wear pajamas and she was not used to sleeping with clothes on. She rolled around all through the night

8am, Zen woke up. At his left, he saw the shadow of a body hung to the ceiling. When he looked to his right, Rikka was snoring with her foot tied to the ceiling. "Well, at least she's still alive and still wearing the pajamas I gave her." Zen smiled. The he noticed Rikka's hung foot was turning red, "RIKKA! WAKE UP AND UNTIE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU GET FROSTBITE!" Zen shouted.

"Uhm, Good Morning Ze... WAAH!" Rikka fell on Zen leaving them with an ecchi position. (l_~)

Jediael woke up, "ZEN! WHAT HAPPE..." Jediael paused, then smiled devilishly, "I'll leave you two alone." (l_~)

Rikka stared at Zen, then made a confused look while blushing. "What is this hard thing in between your legs?" Rikka asked.

Zen blushed, then screamed, "RIKKA! NO! DON'T PULL DOWN MY SHORTS!"

"But I want to know what is that hard thing I felt on my leg." She continued.

Zen was able to get through the situation without showing 'it' to Rikka. It was Thursday and Zen was forced to mall with Rikka and Cherlz. Zen hates going outside, because he knows that he will go crazy and make suggestions on things without knowing it.

"Well, first things first, we need to get Rikka some Lingerie." Zen read from an Imaginary Notepad.

They only bought some brasseries. There were no undies for four-legged people at the Mall.

"Next, we buy what we want on a 250$ maximum." Zen read again.

The three put a flag on one of the hallway couches. Zen had to take Rikka with him, I mean, imagine what could happen to a four-legged chick at the mall.

Zen went to the game store, it seems there was no updates so he left to the teens wear shop. He got some shorts and casual polos. He saved 150$ if there's gonna be a new game at the store he just went to. Then he noticed that his arm was free. Where did Rikka go?

Cherlz went shopping for some clothes as well, then he found a few bling to go with it. Zen ran to where he was.

Zen panted, "*pant* Cherlz! *pant* Where's Rikka?!"

Cherlz tried to recall, "I think I saw her head for the lingerie store again."

"Thank you, *pant* off I go!" And Zen rushed to the lingerie.

Cherlz stood there for a minute, "Eh, what the hey? I'll go see what's going on."

Zen arrived at the lingerie, "Rikka! *pant*pant* Where are you?"

"I'm here Zen honey!" Rikka waved to him. She was wearing one of those suits that the workers were wearing. "I talked to the manager of this store and he said I can work here."

"That's Crazy! *pant* What did you do that for?" Zen asked, catching his breath.

"Well, in my planet. My house was very pink like this store, I feel at home in here. And I wanted to do something for you. So I won't runaway when you go to school, I'm going to work here." Rikka smiled.

The manager came in, "Zen! What's up!" it was Dave.

"Dave, you became the manager of a lingerie!" Zen exclaimed.

"Well, this is where I can get the highest pay, I shouldn't depend on my parents allowance anymore. I use the allowance for food for me and the siblings. I use the salary to pay off the extra rent and save up for college." Dave explained. "By the way, you know this girl right? The one who I just hired."

"Rikka? What about her?" Zen put up a confused look.

"I think I like her." Dave looked at her serving the customers. "Anyway, today I gave her a test job. See if she can be of use to the store. I think she'll be good."

"I hope so Dave. It's kinda weird though. Everyone is starting to like Rikka. They don't mind about her four-legs." Zen scratched the back of his head.

Dave is a cool guy, but unlike Cherlz he was not daring. He is about 2-3 inches taller than Zen. And he's a junior by academical means. He complains about school being too hard even though he is the brain of his class.

"Well, she was looking for a four-legged panty right? I'll give her a pack of it to her personally if you don't mind." Dave smiled seriously.

Zen was full of questions. Being at a store made him feel so weird. "So, you think I can get a typing job somewhere around here?"

"Well, there are a few offers around here for typing. I'll give you a list tomorrow." Dave offered.

"That will be nice." Zen smiled.

"Okay, Rikka! Your test job put up outstanding results. You're good to work here as an attendant. You'll come over by 7am to take breakfast, work starts at 8am. Lunch break at 11am to noon. And you may go home at 3pm. You will work here on weekdays with a salary of 10$ an hour. So that makes it 60$ daily." Dave explained thusly.

Rikka nodded and changed back to her regular clothes.

"Hey guys. Oh Dave, you're actually awake this time." Cherlz popped in.

"You just came here, show some respect." Dave smiled.

After long discussions, they set off for home. Zen still had trouble taking care of Rikka. And that's what happened all through the rest of the day.
