A quiet day, in the RS clubroom.
(. . .)
(. . . . .)
((. . . . .))
)(Knock, knock, KNOCK)(
"AaA -Askka!! It's -uhh- Xander!" A familiar voice yelled behind the door.
~~~((Creaaak))~~
Confused, Askka asked, "Xander? Is everything `right for you... "
Irritated, he replied, "Yes. IT looks as if I~*Hiccups!!*~ have need of your assistance...uh.. "
""Uh.. heh_ "" They all reacted.
Listless, Askka asked, "Did I just hear you hiccup, a second ago?"
Renna cracked up, "Rhr- Rrehhh-heh-hah-heheh-"
"Harh-hehah... " Kliff anxiously chuckled.
/"What is- What's going on?!"/ Kiara gasped, her hands holding her head.
"Hrr-Ahem_ *Hic-hiccup*" He verbally cued, as he hiccupped again. "Please, lend me your aid- -Crup!"
Kliff asked for Askka, "But, you're a scientist, can't you hammer out your own personal problems?"
"Hic- -reuh! Don't you think I already gave it a go!?" He argued. "I'd never caught hiccups before now, so I`d racked my brains."
'Being surprised,' *Hiccup!!* 'jabbing my back,' *HICcup!* 'uh_ holding my breath.'
Askka said, with a shoulder pat, "You don't need to agonize. Us Rascals will help a friend out."
/"We got it"/ Kiara thumbed him.
| Att.1
"I have a idea, maybe these cat photos of Ikka will do it." Askka urgently commented.
"Hrmm~mMm____ *HI-rhep!*" He grumbled. "I apologize. 'Cute creatures' are one thing I've never 'gotten'."
"HhH-Haaah!" They all grasped.
Conflicted, Askka responded, "That -IS something, I do not get!"
| Att.2
Eerily, Renna stated, "I think, I have just what you neeeeeed."
((Gloves snap))
Xander asked, nervously, "Why are you, in my space-Heh.. Rhah-reh-RhahReh----PLEase stop-Heh!!!"
(. . .)
*HEC!*
| Att.3
Hesitantly, Kiara said, "Kah-krh! Ma-m-Maybe some nice music c-c-could h-help!"
*Pleasant pop music*
Curious, Xander asked, "Kiara?! What are_ those auditory sounds ~*Hic`urp*~ in the song's background???"
She replied, "Uum... B-b-Because... the group is c-called, 'Rural rivers'?"
Xander shouted, "Bathro--! Got to number.1 with haste!"
| Att.4
Kliff said sweatily, "As for myself... I know one popular course of action----BOOooo!!!"
~Silence~
*HIC`Hiccup!*
Kliff whimper-sighed in response.
| After a long day.
"*HIC!* *hic-erh!* *HrMreh!*" His stubborn hiccups continued.
"Darn! Darn all of this!!" Askka yelled at herself.
| They all sighed.
With a gasp of realization, Kliff asked, "Xander? Earlier, you specified.. these are your first hiccups? Was there any thing, different about your actions today?"
Puzzled, Xander replied, "Actually_ let me rewind____ [Mutters] Got out of bed_ checked supplies for school_ had my breakfast_ took my bike_
Made it to school_ purchased a vending machine drink----WAIT!"
"HuHuh!?" They exclaimed.
Xander explained slowly, "This morning, my throat *Hic!* was dying of thirst and I was nearing a 'late attendance' *Cup!* status.
I had decided to *Hec!* purchase 'bottled water' from the vending machine. And I *HicHup!* drank the water in a flash!"
(. . !)
Askka remarked, "Oh-my----! *Stands* Xander, I think I get it. Hold on, just a minute!"
A MINUTE-
((Slam! *Liquid trickles*))
Askka ordered, "Drink! Please, sip it up all slow~ly!"
~~~*ssSipppppp!*~~~
~*Silence*~
Xander breathed contently, "aAaaa-HhhaaaA! It looks as if your assistance isn't needed here anymore. My hiccups have ceased. *Nods*"
"You're welcome!" They all said.
| The end! Seriously, the story is over for good! Have a great day, midday, and evening!
Goodbye~!!!
