Side Story bonus.
"..Is it on?... oh, good I finally got the damn thing to work."I pick up the camera slowly, not wanting the old batteries I put in it to slide out, since they had to be taped on. You can't really blame me for that, well I mean you could but whatever. I pick up the camera and place it on my dresser so I can address it.From the reflection of the mirror behind it, it is obvious that I have woken up recently, my dark brown hair is pointing in several directions while some of it is simply laying down. I have forgotten to shave once again, you can see the small goatee I have been growing along with the rest of my hair. My pale skin seems to glare the camera so I decide to cover my crappy window curtains with a towel. Now you can see my beautiful pale skin.Or... at least... I find it beautiful, most other people find it sickening, but you know, f*ck'em.I put on my army cap to hide my mess of hair, I call it that because that it is a pale army green, that and the fact that it looks almost identical to the cap worn by the soldiers I see in the old Vietnam documentaries I have hidden somewhere in my room. I feel kind of embarrassed now that I realize that I only have my black sweatshirt covering my chest, you can see the small bulge of my belly fat if I turn the wrong way. My friends say I look fine, and that it is normal to have a little fat, but I see it as being way too much for comfort. Oh well, I try to look at it like they do, it makes me a bit more comfortable about my body, however not that much. I dust off my black denim jeans, the cheeto dust on them not helping my nerves.I take a deep breath and smile at the camera, oh, no... no bad idea, nor more smiling. It makes me look fat, stop doing that... I wonder if I'm being too feminine, you usually only hear of women thinking about their weight, but then again that's just Hollywood crap. I notice that they try to shape culture like that alot, f*cking pricks... Anyway, time to start..."Phew... Hello Internet, my name is Lee and I wanted to tell you about this..." No... no thats not a good way to start off.. ah f*ck it the batteries are going to die soon, I might as well just get my message across, "Here let me just show you..." I pick up the camera, carefully and bring it onto my living room.I lay it down on my TV stand so that it can point at my two guests without me having to, "What is that box for?..." I hear the deep voice behind me, normally it would have frightened me. I live alone on the 34th floor of a apartment building, although I prefer to call it a tower."Oh... nothing... no need to worry yourself.." I reply back, making sure it is aimed correctly.Once I'm satisfied I step back and allow it to get a full view of my living room, although I'm sure all it can see is my tiny coffee table that is filled with novels, anime DVDs, my laptop, and video game cases. I sit back on my leather couch, well it technically isn't mine, but my
ass has been sitting on it for years now and I never missed a payment so I consider it mine. I make sure not to sit too close to my guest, I don't want either of us to be uncomfortable.I look at him, grinning nervously. He does the same, his 'cloak' as he calls it folded on the armrest of the couch. His elbow resting on it as he holds his head up with his fist, you could see that his skin is as pale as mine, if not paler, which is strange because you can see that he has muscle, and I don't mean a little but a fairly noticeable amount. It took him about a week for him to finally trust me enough to take it off, and when he did, I will admit, he somewhat struck my fancy. He just had that masculine face that screamed out that he was a intellectual, which surprisingly, he was. I was so happy when he finally trusted me enough to actually talk with more than a few sentences, so much in fact that we starting conversing regularly over dinner, and I have never actually had a group eating thing. I was a lonely child you see and we never had a family meals, we normally just took our food into our rooms when we were hungry, so you can imagine the awkwardness when he asked if we could eat together.If I was any more of a romantic than I already am than I would have called it a date, however I can tell he doesn't have a fancy for guys, or if he does he shows no signs for me. Which is a shame, I mean, I may be Pansexual but I can still like a guy for his looks, personality may be alot for me but he has everything...Oh no I'm daydreaming, I realize I have been staring at his black ruffled hair and green eyes for too long. I quickly turn away and look around, noticing that his sister isn't anywhere to be seen, "Where is your sister?""She is still relieving herself." He says coolly, still staring at my camera. "Releiv- oh no." I jump off the couch and run for the bathroom, knowing fully well what she is doing.I run down the miniature hallway and knock on the door, "Lily, are you decent?"He soft voice can be heard inside, "Yes Mr. Lee, you may come in."I sigh and open the door, only to be greeted by the sight of her crawling out of the bathtub. She is a small child with strange features, I at first thought she was just wearing the fox tail and ears for a convention or a party with her brother, but after nine days of her being here I noticed that she was wearing them even when in bed. The damn thing even moved like a normal tail, and her ears acted just like a canines, moving, twitching, even drooping. I did however find it strange that her natural hair color is white, both her ears, hair, and tail being the same color made me skeptical at thinking it was anything but a outfit.However just a two days ago I finally saw the truth. She was wanting to walk out to the balcony and look out, however she forgot that it was windy that day so her dress kind of... did a anime on her... I realized then two things.
One that her tail was connected to her, and not like a butt plug or a strap like on the internet, but literally a part of her. Secondly I found out she doesn't wear anything under her dress, which made me feel very awkward when I had to put down on the grocery list 'Panties for Lily'. I will admit despite her strange behavior and her very proper vocabulary I do like her, not in that way mind you, she is around ten or something, I mean as a friend. Even if she always calls me Mr. Lee or Sir Lee. I told her on the first day we met to just call me Lee, but she insists on calling me that. I have to say though that the weirdest thing about her is the tip of her tail, it has a black tip and if it gets wet it starts to drip this black liquid that I can only guess is ink. I would question how such a thing even works but I'm still trying to wrap my head around a real fox girl.My nose suddenly tells me that she has indeed done what I thought, "Lily, I have told you before that the bathtub is not used for peeing in!" I scowl at her.She only sighs and puts her hands on her hips, giving me a slight glare, "And I have told you Sir Lee that I do not care for your opinion on this matter. I shall not sit on this... thing, you call a 'toilet' and have water splash onto my rear! This is nature calling me to do my deed and I shall carry it out in the place I see fit, if you wish to have me not urinate in this 'bathtub' then I suggest you start growing a garden so that I may properly remove my bodily wastes." She thrashes her tail and crosses her arms, signaling that she is done when her rant.This only makes my nervous grin wider as I shake my head, "Lily I have told you before that I can't plant a garden in here, you've seen how much room I got. Besides, I don't think I'm allowed to have anything bigger than a bonsai tree in here.""I may not know how big this 'bonsai tree' is however I am certain that if I do not have any flora to dispose of my waste than I am afraid you are just going to have to get used to me using your 'bathtub' for my disposal."Why is she so stubborn? "Ok, ok. Lets just drop it. Just come into the living room, I'll rinse the tub later so it doesn't stain."I swear these two are from another time period or something, I just thought they were doing LARPing or cosplaying or somthing like that when I found them. However once I took them home with me they seemed honestly unsure about most of the things in my house, the worst being the toilet.Lily wags her tail and smiles triumphantly, walking past me and into the living room. I shake my head once more and light a candle, hoping the smell of her urine doesn't escape the tub."Hey Sadhe, what is this box for?" Lily says as she sniffs the camera, her tail lifted up with curiosity."According to Lee it has no function for me to worry about, so I don't care." Shade replies, trying to pull her onto the couch with his foot. It seems like he
does the same thing I do, use the toes of your feet to grab things when your too lazy to get up yourself. We actually have alot in common, which kind of scares me at times."If you say so Sadhe...""I told you not to call me that in public, my name is Shade."Lily jumps beside him on the couch, poking him in the nose with her tail, "No your name is Sadhe, you just use that name so that others do not know your true identity." I roll my eyes and sit down beside her, trying not to sit on her tail as she wags it back and forth, "Theres nothing wrong with that, I do the same thing.""Thank you, see Lily? Even our generous Lord agrees with me." Shade says to her as he swats her tail away from his face.I don't understand why he calls me that, I mean, I may not know what the actual name is for the person who lets you stay at his place. However I am certain it is not Lord, Sir, or Wiseman, although I think he just uses that last one as a compliment. I swear this two will make me blush with all of the names they call me, and all of the things in my house. Hell, they call the TV a magic mirror, the fridge is a ice chest, my game consoles are reality boxes, and the lamps are for some reason Chibi-Suns. I am not going to question the logic of any of it but whatever.I suddenly realize that I never see Shade using the toilet, or the tub for that matter, "Hey Shade, were do you go to piss?"He raises an eyebrow and points to the balcony, "To urinate I go outside and aim over the edge, for the other one I simply go into the woods."I blink in surprise at this, I can see him taking a wizz on the balcony, but taking a dump in the park?... I just don't even want to think about it, but I will admit the idea of seeing the face of the person to discover it is rather hilarious. Nevertheless I am fairly certain that pissing on the balcony is not allowed, if not illegal. I don't really have a problem with it, but I am sure some poor unlucky people do."Right... can we talk about that later? I may appreciate that it isn't in my tub but I am sure that the bellhop doesn't really like the golden rain..."Lily and Shade tilt their heads at this, asking in unison, "Bellhop?..."I can only smile and try not to laugh as I shake my head at their innocents, "The guy at the entrance to this building, the one in the uniform that doesn't stop talking when you start a conversation with him?"They both nod at this, Lily speaking up first to explain what she thought he was, like always, "I figured that he is the guard to this nobleman's' estate.""I just thought he was the guard, although that does explain why he carries no weapons on him." replies Shade."What do you mean no weapons didn't you see the stun gun he- oh nevermind." I sigh and lay back on the couch, not wanting to go any further on this topic while the camera is on.Suddenly we all flinch as we hear the canera beep three
times, signaling the battery has died. I let out a sigh as I get up and bang on the batteries, seeing if they just fell out. "What did it do Sir Lee?" Lily asks behind me."Oh nothing, the batteries just died...""What is a battery?...." I hear Shade ask suspiciously, I can see through the reflection of the lense that he is giving me a teasing grin, knowing full well that I hate explaining these things."Oh I'll tell you later, I'm going to put this peice of junk away."I walk back into my room, leaving the two on the couch as I close my door behind me. I jump onto my bed and flip the cover holding the SD card, "Wait a minute..." I bite down on my teeth as I realize that this stupid thing didn't even have a SD card in it, wich means it didn't record anything."Peice of crap." I sigh to myself as I toss it in the corner, not wanting to even attempt to find the damn card. The camera bumps off the wall and lands into my clothes bin, I look up to make sure I didn't leave a mark on the wall. Satisfied I lay back in my bed and stare at the ceiling, trying to figure out what to do now."Damn it... I guess I'm not supposed to tell anyone about them... pfff... this sucks."
