Friendship Adventure

Heyyy! Ik I've been ded and not posting for a while but finally, here it is! The story I've been debating on posting!

This is for the Friday Night Funkin fandom :)))

โ€œWAKE UP AMI!!!โ€

Ameila shifted her head. It was seven in the morning, and she didnโ€™t want to wake up yet.

โ€œMmpfโ€ฆ waitโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWAKE UP!!!!โ€

Her boyfriend, Keith, was bouncing all over the place, screaming at her to wake up.

โ€œCOMEONTODAYISTHEDAYYYY!!!โ€

โ€œThe day of whatโ€ฆ?โ€

โ€œROAD TRIPPP!!!โ€

Amelia groaned and groggily sat up. Apparently Keith had told many of their friends to meet at her house so they could go on a road trip to the beach.

โ€œIโ€™m coming...Are you dressed?โ€

โ€œYES!!!โ€

โ€œOh...alright.โ€

As Keith sped out of the room, Amelia tugged on her red dress, brushed her teeth, and went downstairs.

โ€œSo we need sunscreen, mats, umbrellasโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAmi, I already told the people that are coming to get everything!โ€

โ€œUh-huh. And who is driving?โ€

Keith opened his mouth to reply, then shut it.

Amelia smiled.

โ€œUm...I- Well, weโ€™ll figure it out,โ€ Keith said sheepishly.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Amelia moved to answer the door, and was pleasantly surprised to see Skid, Pump, and their father.ย 

โ€œEEP! Er..I mean hello, sir.โ€

The lemon-headed demon growled a barely audible โ€œI heard thatโ€ and went to sit on the sofa.

โ€œROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP!!!โ€ screamed Skid.

โ€œYAYAYAYAYYAY!โ€ yelled Pump.

Keith was attempting to call someone on his phone, but they werenโ€™t picking up.

โ€œPICK IT UP! BEEP BOOP!โ€

Ami just rolled her eyes and sat on the table.

***

โ€œGET UP SOLDIER!โ€

Pico screamed and jolted awake. His adoptive father, Tankman, stood at the door, with his iconic mask already on.

โ€œTodayโ€™s the day you go to the beach. Remember that road trip?โ€

Pico nodded, slowly.

โ€œTHEN GET DRESSED!โ€

Pico let out an โ€˜Ughโ€™ at the sound of this, as he was planning on staying in all day, but got up and went to wash his face.

After he washed off the shock, he went to the breakfast table. Steve, his adoptive uncle, was sleepily reading the news.

โ€œPico, remember to wear your mask. We donโ€™t need Corona.โ€

โ€œBut Uncle, youโ€™ve survived Ebola and smallpox!โ€

โ€œStill, you need to wear that mask!โ€

โ€œFFFFFFFF-Fine.โ€

โ€œNo swearing here, young man.โ€

Tankman whisked away Pico as soon as he finished his breakfast, and practically threw Pico onto the car.

They were planning to go to the Philadelphia International Airport to meet up with Picoโ€™s frenemy, Kagama, and his sisterโ€™s friend.

โ€œDad- my thingsโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIn the car.โ€

โ€œPhone?โ€

โ€œHere.โ€

โ€œHow long-โ€

โ€œTwelve minutes.โ€

โ€œThe airplane ride, I mean.โ€

โ€œTwo hours. And you better stay close to your friends.โ€

Pico let out a long sigh.

Two hours with the most frustrating person alive.

Seriously, is this trip worth it?

***

Pico rolled his suitcase over the tracks of the door leading into the airport terminal. He scanned the very bright and very loud building for a very bright pink bow and strawberry blonde hair. Even though he hadnโ€™t even checked in yet, the front was crowded. It smelt like french fries, with gasoline poured over it and leather dumped in. Pico heard banging noises as a family scrambled past him and to the check in desk, then practically ran to Terminal Four. He tried to grab one of his usual weapons in his pocket, then remembered that he was in an airport and weapons werenโ€™t allowed. He felt very vulnerable now, as if he was in his school all over againโ€ฆ

He was so focused on this point that he didnโ€™t realize he had walked right into Monika, who gave a very exaggerated scream and fell on the ground. Pico tugged her back up.

โ€œGeez, calm down. The floorโ€™s nasty, you donโ€™t know if there is some virus laying on it.โ€

Monika sniggered and hugged Pico. โ€œNice to see ya again!โ€

โ€œSame to you...Can you put your mask back on though?โ€

โ€œOh! Right, sorry, I forgot.โ€

Monika slapped her mask back on then started dragging her carry-onโ€”and Picoโ€” with her.

โ€œCโ€™mon, my brotherโ€™s waiting at Terminal Sevenโ€™s check in!โ€

โ€œGreat...Whyโ€™d he hafta come?โ€

โ€œHe was โ€˜invitedโ€™! What, you got a problem with him?โ€

Pico reluctantly shook his head. He did have a problem with Kagama; he just didnโ€™t want to elaborate right now.

Monika watched as he was pushed through security, with them confisticating one of his pocket knifes he didnโ€™t know he had in his shoulder pocket. It was very uncomfortable, being poked at, especially since Pico wasnโ€™t used to people touching him at all. Heck, when his own father tried to hug him once, he got a knife pointed at his face. But now, he had no knife. Or weapon, for that matter. He could only grimace and let himself be poked.

Tugging his suitcase over to where Monika was standing, he momentarily breathed a sigh of relief before noticing who she was talking toโ€ฆ

โ€œYou spelled your name M-O-N-I-K-A on your passport.โ€

โ€œYou got a problem?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s M-O-N-I-C-A.โ€

โ€œLook, brother, I honestly donโ€™t need you worrying about my name!โ€

Kagama let out a very audible sigh before noticing Pico.

โ€œPico! Howโ€™s it been in Philadelphia? Grown any taller?โ€

Pico rolled his eyes.

โ€œNot the best place for height jabs, loser.โ€

Admittingly, Pico was pretty short for his age. Kagama was a head taller than him.

โ€œAww, Shorty here is annoyed.โ€

Monika butted in.

โ€œGuys, we have like, an hour to get to the plane! Letโ€™s get something to eat first, okay? Argue later!โ€

She waved her arms angrily, and the two stopped...for now.

Getting lunch wasnโ€™t great, as Pico and Kagama snipped at each other left and right, fighting over silly things, like whoโ€™s going to pay for the food, and giving Monika a migraine.

โ€œRemember your mask!โ€

โ€œI did, you idiot!โ€

โ€œPut it on!โ€

โ€œI was gonna away!โ€

โ€œGuys, shut up! We have thirty minutes to get to the terminal!โ€ Monika groaned, and Pico and Kagama engaged in a staring contest.

Waiting at the terminal didnโ€™t go much better. It just gave the two more time to fight.

โ€œSeriously, guys. The security is staring at us! STOP FIGHTING!โ€

Everything around Pico glitched for a second, and he closed his mouth, confused. Kagama looked unaffected.

Monika went back on her phone.

โ€œAttention. You many start boarding the plane to Los Angeles now.โ€

Kagama popped up and put on his backpack. Monika grabbed her carry on, and Pico just got up.

They walked to the boarding section, and got their tickets checked, and backpacks.

โ€œAttention. We have limited the boarding space because of the virus. Please keep your masks on expect to eat and drink. Please do not take it off, and keep your items secured. Thank you and enjoy your flight.โ€

Tankman had somehow managed to get the three of them VIP seats in the front. Pico was pretty impressed until Monika stole the window seat and he had to sit next to Kagama.

โ€œStop leaning on me!โ€

โ€œI am not!โ€

โ€œYou are touching me!โ€

โ€œLook, I am not!โ€

โ€œUgh...you were.โ€

โ€œStop making a big deal about everything!โ€

โ€œNo, you!โ€

Just then the plane blasted off into the air.

Finally,

Thought Pico, as he clinged onto his seat for dear life.

What he didnโ€™t know was that he was grabbing into Kagamaโ€™s arm.

Strangely, Kagama didnโ€™t say anything.

hooo boi romance is comin soon
