Frank's Minion: chapter 87

Frank and Sarah-Anne were going to play with Mark and Sara while Noelle and Nation decided to take the older kids out for the day. They went to a video game arcade and hopefully, this time with LP having Miracle around, she wouldn't throw a nasty temper tantrum like she did at the diner for a Christmas lunch. David and Anastasia told the girls about video game arcades and LP surprised them with what she knew and Miracle was very excited.

"I vish Cosmo could've come..." Miracle frowned.

"Sorry dear, but Farley and Bert wanted to talk with him in private," Nation coaxed about her brother's absence. "Besides, you have us."

LP looked ahead and saw a familiar face. "Billie!"

The black-haired girl turned around and saw LP, smiling brightly. She quickly went over to the friend she made on the playground and noticed that she was larger in size and age somehow.

"Um, it's a long story..." LP said, seeming to somehow understand what the girl was thinking, even if Billie was a mute.

"Oh, who do ve have here?" Miracle asked, curiously.

"Miracle, this is Billie," LP introduced, putting a gentle arm around the mute girl. "She became my best friend on the playground."

"Oh, you don't vant me to be your best friend anymore?" Miracle mocked sadness and folded her arms, pretending to sniff, but had an amused smile on her face still.

"No, Mir-Mir, you're still my best friend!" LP cried.

"Three's a crowd, you kids go on..." Miracle pretended to shrug it off.

David had a small chuckle, then looked to the girl. "Hi, Billie..."

Billie looked to David and smiled, recognizing him from school, talking with him in her sign language. 'Hello, David. How are you? I hope you had some happy holidays.'

"Oh, I did," David nodded in reply. "Got a lot better lately."

Billie smiled as she signed more to him. 'I'm happy for you... Have you met Little Precious?'

David blushed slightly, looking to the alien girl. "Yes, I have... We're good friends now."

Billie looked to the two and made kissing noises to tease them, then silently giggled.

"Billie, you little cheeky thing..." David playfully teased back.

Billie looked to him, blushing herself, she had fun. She then decided to take David, Miracle, Anastasia, and LP over to play some of her favorite games. Noelle and Nation watched the kids leave, then they looked to each other as they were alone.

"What would you like to do, Noey?" Nation asked her beloved.

Noelle looked to the other woman and blushed. "Oh, uhh... I dunno..." she shrugged her shoulders, rubbing her arm bashfully.

"Why don't we get some pizza for the kids?" Nation shrugged. "I know a lot of kids love pizza... It could be their lunch."

"Well... Okay, let's go find a table and tell the kids where we are and we could have some alone time."

Nation smiled, she liked that sound of that. "Sounds good, Noey."

The five kids walked along. LP and Miracle were in awestruck over what a real video game arcade looked like and it looked very amazing. The girls have heard of such places, but actually witnessing it felt like a dream come true. Billie smiled, she was glad to have made her new friends happy. She however frowned once she saw a familiar face.

LP, Miracle, Anastasia, and David were walking along normally, not seeming to notice anything out of the ordinary just yet. However, they saw Billie was frowning at someone. David looked ahead and saw who it was too, making him frown.

"What's wrong, David?" LP asked the boy, seeing his sudden sour mood.

"We can't come here..." David frowned. "There's a bad boy here."

"Bad boy?" Miracle and LP asked.

There was a boy with dark blonde hair wearing a silver jacket and looked rather evil. He looked around, then saw David and Billie, having an evil smile. He walked over to the two kids, laughing at them.

"Leave us alone, Oscar," David sneered to him. "I don't want to have to get rough with you."

"How come you only hang out with girls, 'Gay-vid'?" The bully, Oscar, taunted.

David looked very angry, he rarely got mad, but when he did, it was not a pretty picture. "Just please go away. We don't want to mingle among your riffraff."

Miracle visibly flinched at that name, it being the name of her father and all, it must have meant something else on Earth. "Do as he says and go avay, boy!"

"Go 'avay'?" Oscar laughed at Miracle's accent. "Oh, are you a vampire and gonna suck out my blood?"

Miracle gave him her best glare that could match only her mother's. "I said GO AVAY!" she nearly screeched, she did not like bullies, especially if they put her friends down.

Oscar did look a bit scared with her, but snorted and shoved her down.

"Hey, leave Miracle alone!" LP glared. "When I tell Aunt Noey and Nation--"

"Yer gonna tell your aunt what?" Oscar got in her face. "You gonna tattle on me, little girl?" he then looked to Billie. "Why don't you run away to your mommy and call her? Oh,... That's right... You can't talk!"

Anastasia looked firm, she pinched Oscar by the neck, making the boy's eyes loll back into his head and he fell flat on the floor suddenly. This made everybody look to her, really curious of how and why she did that. Anastasia looked back to them and gave a small shrug. "Sorry, but he was buggin' me..."

"Uh... Anyvay... Let's play some games, huh?" Miracle suggested with a shrug.

"YEAH!" the kids cheered and went to experience the joy and wonder that was a video game arcade.
