Because I am sooo late in updating this one. Yesh, took me long enough. Please Review! And point out spelling mistakes, 'cause I always miss some, no matter how many times I spell check. Dash it all. -RS.
P.S I've spent the last week in an CON coma because Invision kinda blew my mind. Anyone else get a headache from all the stuff that keeps happening? At this rate, they (Caleb) should really just lock Nick in his room and call it a day. Cajun just can't stay out of trouble...
P.S.S Stupid Spelling mistakes...Oh, and the flying bit was done from a suggestion! Forgot to mention that!

1. I'm still not over it.
"How the hell is that possible? You can't spend money like water, Simi." No, really, who in their right mind owns a Black American Express Credit Card and then proceeds to hit the roof of said card's limit in a day?
...Alright, so maybe Kyrian and Ash bought some seriously high-end items, but not to that extent.
There needs to be some form of moderation. Their group hadn't even been in the shop for a full hour before Simi maxed out her card. There's no way around it. It's gotta be illegal.
The Charonte demon slurped her Chocolate Milk/BBQ sauce concoction as they (Nick, Kody, and Simi in between them) sat at Cafe du Monde for a 'light' snack. It had gotten to the point Nick stopped questioning the Charonte's eating habits. (Sometimes, he even dared to join in.)
Mental Note: Sprite, Coke, and BBQ sauce do not make a good combo.
"Says who?" asked Simi, confused and pondering who in their right mind would ever say The Simi could not shop. Were theys stupid? Or just a little dumb in the head? If The Simi wants to shop, she shops. And Akri provides them black plastics that make the boys and girls behind them desks with the registers either really happy or really scared. Don't know why'd theys be terrified, when The Simi buys out half the shop. That normally makes the non-hornayed people happy. But sometimes theys get scared. Weird.
"Uhh..." Nick rubbed at his face. He could see Kody out of the corner of his eye, shaking her head. Maybe he was fighting a losing battle, but...
How do I explain to Simi that there's a limit to credit cards, and you can't just buy any and everything without consequences?
Kody sighed and set her water down.
You really want to know?
Yes!
You don't. Simi's a demon who shops like one. That's just the natural order of the Universe. Kody waved her hand as if the Circle of Life had just been re-explained to a five year-old.
Nick scowled. Great...
Simi glared at them. "You knows, it's not nice to go off and has your own conversation without inviting the Simi."
Nick immediately felt guilty. "Sorry, Sims. We were just talking about-"
"-how your shopping has probably boosted the State's economy." Interjected Kody, before Nick could so much as claim that Simi's impulse control was less than stellar.
Simi immediately perked up. "The Simi 'boosted the economy'? That's good, right?"
Kody nodded. "Yup! The more you buy, the more revenue is generated, and the more money people have. Spending money is as healthy to the economy as saving it."
"Wait, but with the way she spends, it's more like inflatio-"
A jab to his gut forced Nick to cut his comment short.
Simi whooped for joy. "Then the Simi will just have to buy lots! So all you non-hornayed beings have more money!"
Nick looked at Kody in disbelief. We came here to discourage her, not encourage!
Kody pouted and gestured to the now-dancing Charonte. But she looks so happy!
2. And Why did I think this was a good idea?
"A little bit more to the left, Nick! YOUR OTHER- Oh, gods." Kody murmured as Nick was pelted by yet another water balloon courtesy of a certain Caleb Malphas.
Long Story Short: Nick's Flying Skills weren't up to Standards de Caleb, so he was giving Nick a crash-course in Aerial Evasion...
By use of Water balloons.
And eggs.
Fireballs included.
Nick dived as Caleb tossed three eggs and a fireball at him.
"And this is a fried egg combo, followed closely by the Source of Life-" Caleb narrated, before winding up and throwing a large water balloon with a form a seasoned Baseball player would envy.
Nick may have dodged two of the eggs and the fire ball, but he was no match for the Cannon Ball of water that exploded on impact with his face.
"-has decimated the Malachai in the third inning!" finished Caleb.
Nick scowled at the Daeva, wiping off raw egg and water.
One of these days...Not today, but one of these days, you will rue life...
Caleb scoffed at Nick's melodrama. Pfft. Worth every second.
And next time, I'm bringing a bat, you evil reptile.
3. "How to avoid Being Grounded: Gautier Style!"
Ash looked over Nick's shoulder and scoffed at the title on the top of Nick's Notebook page.
"That would sound a little less sarcastic coming from someone who could actually avoid being grounded." Nick tilted his head to look up at the Atlantean, eyes narrowed.
"Did I ask you?"
"No, but I'm thinking you should."
"How to Avoid Being Grounded: Gautier Style!" To Be Continued at a later date when Acheron's not in the room... -Nick Gautier

AN: Not as long as I had wanted it, but I think it works. As I said, I've been in a CON coma. Eh, I can always elaborate later. -RS
