Info You Probably Don't Care About
Becky started writing a Resident Evil story some time in an estimated 2005, and a while ago we wrote the next two chapters after finding the first two in my memory box lol. It gets kinda, um, wrong in places but it's all pretty harmless & funny, although there are a lot of private/inside jokes that only we will understand XD. Happy reading!
EDIT: I'd also like to make the following point VERY clear. None of us are actually in love with any of these characters , it's just some strange personal joke we've had going for ages. Heh.

Chapter 16
[EDITORS NOTE: Right, we're going back to Ashley & Vaan now, and seeing as we haven't heard from them since...Chapter 9?! Jeez...Anyway, here's what was happening last time we saw them.]
"Okay fish boy, start talking! Where am I and how did I get here?!" Ashley yelled in the face of scaly terror.
"I'd tell you, but then I'd have to give you an afro," Vaan replied, looking offended.
Ashley gasped, "You wouldn't dare."
"Try me," Vaan replied with a cheeky wink.
Ashley jumped out of the pool. "I'm going to my room!"
Vaan grinned, "Actually, get your wedding dress on. Our wedding is in an hour."
Ashley span round and started to run, all the way screaming, "Leon! L-e-o-n! Leeeeoooooonnnn!!"

The maid knocked on the door and, when the only reply she recieved was a quiet little sniff, decided that the only way of possibly communicating with the person in the room was to growl.
"Cur'mon dahrlin', yew dun' wanna miss the best day o' ye life d'ya??"
Ashley coughed, "I'm sorry, I can't get married. I feel so ill and I don't want anyone else to get ill as well." She coughed once again trying to sound convincing.
"Cur'mon dearie, lemme in so ol' maidie can check ye temperature."
Ashley coughed once again. "I can't! I might get you ill. Just let me rest for now until I get better."
The maid sighed, "If tha' be whut ye want."
Ashley waited until she heard the footsteps disappear then sighed with relief. She didn't know how she was going to get out of this one, she couldn't keep up this act forever. To take her mind off the situation she started playing on her DS, but suddenly she heard a crunch on her door. Ashley looked over and saw that the maid was glaring at her with Ashley's wedding dress in one hand and a lightsabre in the other.
"Sick my great aunt Petunia!" the maid tutted and then sat on the edge of Ashley's bed. "Luk, I know ye nervouse. A'mean, Lord Vaan be a strappin' young laddie but ye dun' have to worry. When I go' married I was scared bu' it were all great in thee end 'twas! Now get dressed wee lass, while I go shave ma' face."
And with that the maid left.

Ashley's tearstained face met Vaan's menacing grin which was twisted with evil. He looked like he'd had his fish abs enhanced for his 'big day'. Ashley's white gown dragged along the concrete ground of Vaan's garden as she traipsed down the aisle to her doom.
"I'm only doing this for you Leon," she whispered to herself.
She had a flashback...

..."Ashley you have to marry me."
Ashley turned to face Vaan's smug little mug, "Why would I want to marry a freak?!"
Vaan looked down, "Ouch, that hurt. But not as much as Leon will if you don't marry me."
Vaan looked up at her with a look that said 'checkmate'.
"You wouldn't dare!" Ashley exclaimed not really believing what was happening.
"Try me," he smiled, "Chop chop. 50 minutes till our wedding!"

Back in the present...
"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride," the priest smiled when Vaan took Ashley's hand and kissed her while Ashley was dying inside.
"Hurry Leon." And a grape.


Chapter 17

“…Everything went quiet. Steve was surrounded by one thousand ninjas. He had two options. To commit suicide or eat the bowl of noodles that sat in front of him. This was the hardest decision of his life. He contemplated and arrived at the verdict: he would pick the hardest decision, for Vicki. A silent tear slid down Steve’s cheek. “For Vicki…” Steve whispered and with that he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the noodles…”

“No no no, that’s not right. This is what happened next.

…Everything went quiet. Steve was surrounded by one thousand ninjas. He had two options. But he didn’t have to pick either of them. Vicki blew the ninjas into hyperspace with her love for Steve. Steve smiled and knew that sticking by Vicki had been the ultimate decision. And he had chosen right. Steve walked towards Vicki…”

“I ain’t gonna stay here and listen to this drivel for one more moment. But if I left, you wouldn’t know the truth. This is what really happened.

…Everything went quiet. Steve was surrounded by one thousand ninjas. He had two options. But neither of them would help him now. He raised his hands to the sky and made a gesture, a secret gesture that he had learnt from his friends. With that a thunderbolt sounded and two shadows flew into the room. They annihilated the ninjas with their awesome powers. Becky, the vampire with her amazing speed and fantastic strength, Leon, with his courageousness and his determined accuracy. No one could withstand their powers. “’The Legendary Duo’,” Steve whispered in relief and delight. “Thank you so much,” he congratulated the pair with a smile.

“Now for my reward,” Becky smiled and drained Steve of his blood. “That wimp was not enough!” Becky turned and killed Leon - her partner and lover - then smooshed his guts against the wall…”

“You’re corrupt; it was obviously Vicki who saved Steve.”

“You’re getting senile; it was obviously Becky and Leon.”

“No, no, it was obviously Steve.”

“My neck is itchy,” Leon complained, and then smacked his neck with a grape, executing the three chatty mosquitoes. And an executed mosquito grape.




Chapter 18
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Oooh! I get to do a little "Previously on..." thingy!!]
Previously, on Grapes...

"Guys, I have been to the Persona Region before so I programmed by TomTomGo Navigator to lead us to Namrams' house," Becky told them, "Lets go, for in the night, the dead men walk."
She looked at the horrified look on Steve's girly face and giggled, "Kidding."
And then the Crunch Bunch headed to the Persona Region. And a grape.

“On your marks, get set, go!” Carina yelled [EDITOR’S NOTE: Carina requested a cameo in the story – so here it is] as the pairs raced. They had decided to have a wheelbarrow race.
In first place was Steve as the wheelbarrow with Vicki as the pusher of the wheelbarrow.
“We are winning! Woooo!” Steve cheered.
“Slow and steady wins the race!” Leon shouted to Steve.
Leon was the pusher of the second wheelbarrow - Becky.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever!” Steve grabbed a turbo boost and zoomed towards the finishing line.
“Oh no, Leon! I don’t think we’ll catch them now,” Becky whimpered.
Leon smiled, even though Becky couldn’t see it, and said, “Silence, young grasshopper.”
She replied, confused, “But I’m four months older than you!”
Leon giggled, “Oh yeah.”

“We are so close to the finishing line, Steve!” Vicki exclaimed, excitedly.
Steve pushed himself to the limit but he wobbled and they both rolled down the hill into the river.
“Steve, you dope,” Vicki giggled and splashed Steve playfully.
Becky and Leon came around the corner and won the wheelbarrow race.
“Oh poo!” Steve squealed in a girlish tone.

The group of four sat around the campfire Leon had prepared. It was now night-time.
"I haven’t sat around a campfire since the summer of 1998,” Steve grinned, before the group told ghost stories till they all fell asleep.
Shortly after, Leon awoke and turned over to see that Becky wasn’t where she had fallen asleep. He sat up and noticed she was sitting by the fire.
Leon plonked himself beside her and yawned, “Trouble sleeping?”
Becky turned to face Leon and spoke in a hushed tone, “It’s Link’s fault I’m like this.”
Leon looked at her with a blank expression.
“…that I’m a vampire. I’m cursed like this. When Vicki and I were eighteen, Vicki had an affair with Link. Then he forced her to pick between him and Steve. Of course she picked Steve. But then Link got mad and he said he was going to kill Steve! I couldn’t let him do that to my cousin so I said he could take my life rather than Steve’s. Instead, he turned me into a vampire.”
Leon sighed, “Don’t worry, we’ll find out how to turn you back.”
Becky smiled, “Leon, you’re the best.”
She leant towards him for a kiss but they were interrupted by Steve crying for his ‘Mommy’. He looked like he was having a bad dream.
Becky sighed, “Night, Leon.” And a grape.


Chapter 19
Steve ran down the corridor screaming Vicki’s name. Doors were opening and closing as he ran down the smoky hallway. In each doorway were little purple elves with twisted, demonic smirks on their faces. Steve reached the end of the corridor and threw open the huge golden doors with a pretty heart pattern on them. He shrieked in ultimate terror at what met his eyes.
Vicki excitedly said, “I do.” She was in a white wedding gown holding hands with elfish evil. Link.

“I now pronounce you elf & wife,” the priest declared.

Link turned to Steve, “She’s all mine now, you chestnut slag!”
Vicki made out with Link as Steve fell to the floor in a weeping rage.
Suddenly everything went silent. Steve looked up to see his father staggering toward him, not for a hug, but to eat his flesh. He was a zombie.
Steve picked up a random gun that was next to his feet and shot at his father until the bullets were all gone. He gasped as he saw not his father lying on the floor, but his dearest friend Leon. Scott. Kennedy!!!
“You shot me you chestnut slag!” Leon shouted before evaporating.
Steve jumped up in shock, “When will this nightmare end?!” He ran through a door but got hit in the head by a sledge hammer and sank to the floor.
“Oh Steve, I am sorry if I startled you. I was just checking to see if you were ok. I mean, a tree falling on you and still living - that is simply amazing. But the doctors did a good job of wrapping you up so you wouldn’t lose any of your precious blood. It would have been easier to feed if you were asleep, but I’ll have to deal with it. Just stay in bed and it won’t hurt. Much.” Becky bit Steve’s neck impatiently while Steve screamed like a girl who had lost her teddy bear.
“Stop screaming, you chestnut slag! Oops, I just bit the wrong artery. You are going to die but it doesn’t matter because Leon is dead and Vicki has Link.” Steve felt his life slip out of him…

“Steve, are you okay?” Becky asked.
He sat up with a huge gaspeth, looking around to find he was around the campfire again.
Leon appeared behind Becky, “Get up you chestnut slag!!” He stared at Steve mockingly as Steve started screaming again.
“Leon! Stop trying to scare the poor kid!” Becky said, patting Steve on the back comfortingly. “Don’t worry, he just heard you muttering when you were sleeping.”
Vicki ran over and hugged Steve, “There there my little Stevie. Did that nasty old man scare you?”
“I’m the same age as you, you bum!” Leon declared.
“Anyway Steve,” Becky said, turning back to him, “What were you dreaming about?”
* * *
Lydia threw the journal at the glossy painted wall. “This is an outrage! Tidus, you slag! How could that son of a dolphin do this to me! After I trusted him he did this to ME! Holy matrimony, you were all that I was living for and you did this to ME!” While Lydia is ranting at the portrait of Tidus I will tell you what she read. By the way my name is Jim. Jim the fly. I thought it was about time I showed up in this story so I will tell you what saw while I was buzzing above Lydia’s head.
Lydia was once a happy girl and had a loving family. She had a lovely mother who supported her through thick and thin. She had a father who helped animals and used all of his money to buy forests for ickle squirrels to live in. And of course, she had a twin sister who she had had an incredible bond with. This doesn’t sound like a story of tragedy but I haven’t got to the worst part. The man whom she loved did the most terrible crime. Tidus, Lydia’s so called loving husband, had stolen her away from her family and taken her to a different dimension. He took her to live in a mansion filled with every girl’s dreams and wishes and in return Tidus wiped Lydia’s memory of everything before she was 25, winning her heart and making her his bride. But the worst part was…

…Before Jim could finish he got trodden on. Lydia had finished her ranting and was crying in the corner. Suddenly Lydia was hit over the head with one of her red converse and was shoved in an extra large potato sack and was dragged off. And a mysterious grape…
EXTRA: For the errrmazing video version of the first part of this chapter go >here<

Chapter 20
Last Ashley chapter ended with:
"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride," the priest smiled when Vaan took Ashley's hand and kissed her while Ashley was dying inside.
"Hurry Leon." And a grape.

"When are you coming, Leon? I want you to come, Leon! Why won't you come, LEON?!" Ashley screamed and lashed her pillow at the door. "He probably has some other girl to rescue anyway."
Let us recap on what has happened so far. Ashley was stolen by a young blonde with the name of Vaan. He had won her heart, until she found out he was a mermaid, erm, sorry, merman. She then wanted to go home but was forced to marry the fishy bastard. Now he was planning to turn her into a mermaid!
Ashley thought, "I'm never turning into one of them, never!!
At that moment, the maid growled in her Scottish accent, "Got that right!"
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Heheheh @ RE4 bad voiceacting reference XD] She turned to Ashley, "'Ere be yer food, me darlin'."
Once the maid had left, Ashley went to go to the bathroom along the hall but stopped at the top of the stairs when she heard voices below.
"Look, I brought the other half of the key. Now we can perform the ritual when the moon is full. That means we have two days to make sure the two parts of the key don't meet, otherwise they may both try to escape."
Ashley heard Vaan giggle, "Don't worry, cousin, you two can sleep far away from my girl. You are married to Lydia, aren't you? Otherwise there will have to be a wedding at once, Tidus."
"No need, Vaan. We married ages ago."
Vaan gave a smile of relief, "Well, where is this lovely maiden I've been hearing so much about?"
Tidus produced a potato sack and ripped it off to reveal a girl.
"You evil piece of crap! I don't know what you plan on doing but I don't want to be a part of it!"
Tidus mwahaha'd as two strong maids dragged Lydia off. "Sorry dear, but you already are!"
Ashley gasped at what she had just witnessed. That girl had looked exactly like her and they were both going to be used in an evil ritual!
She turned to run down the corridor, when a hand was firmly placed on her shoulder.
"Not so fast, my dear." And a grape.


Chapter 21

‘Welcome to the Persona Region’ a sign read when the Crunch Bunch arrived. The sky was raining red liquid like red water from a tap.
“Is this strawberry sauce?” Steve questioned.
“Don’t drink it, Steve!” Becky warned, before Steve licked some off Leon’s head.
Becky sniffed her hand, then confirming her suspicions; she ravenously licked her hands before her eyes turned black as coal.
“Hey, how did you do that thing with your eyes?” Vicki and Steve chorused with an added gasp.
“Err….. party trick,” Becky shrugged off the shooting suspicions, “Never mind messing about, let’s continue.”
This time it was Leon and Vicki in the front talking about sea cucumbers, and Steve and Becky in the background.
“Steve, I haven’t been totally honest with you, and since I am your cousin, I think I owe you this. Steve, I’m a…..”
Leon
interrupted, “There it is, the cave where Namrams lives. Oh, I wasn’t interrupting anything important, was I?” Leon gave a concerned look to Becky.
“Nothing that can’t wait till later.” Becky sighed, and walked into the cave first.
"Leon, could you keep an eye on Becky please? I think she needs someone.” Steve pleaded with Leon.
“Fine, I mean, she is my friend.” They walked in together. “Oh my God!” Leon declared at the sight in front of him. And a grape.


Chapter 22
“Those shoes are amazing, and look at this picture! Oh my god that shrub is adorable! Genius it is, genius!” Steve ran around the cave then jumped up and down with a girly scream.
“Come deeper into the cave.”
Steve crapped himself then dropped to the floor .He yelled to the mighty bellowing voice, “Are you GOD?!”
”No, you twit I’m just on a loudspeaker.”
Leon and Vicki laughed while Becky curiously went ahead.
“Becky, wait up. Don’t go too far ahead on your own. Becky!” Leon ran after Becky, followed by Vicki, while Steve marvelled at the pink shoes, to realise he was alone. “Wait for me!” Steve screamed and stormed after the rest of the group.
“Wow…” Steve glared around flabbergasted.
“Steve, close your mouth, you might catch flies,” Becky snapped.
“Somebody is in a bad mood!” Vicki exclaimed to Leon.
“I haven’t had breakfast yet, that is all!” Becky glared at Vicki viciously.
“Well…”
Before Vicki could continue a mysterious voice expressed, “Welcome!!”
***
“Ashley, dear, pass me the gravy.”
Ashley reached across the table and caught a sour expression on the female guest of Vaan’s mansion. “Here you are. So, where are you from, Tidus?” Ashley looked over at the female guest whilst asking.
“Oh dimension 42. Right, Lydia?”
Ashley had been caught glancing down the stairs at the guest she wasn't supposed to see by none other than the Scottish maid, Agnus MacGreggor. So, to try and thwart Ashley's curiosity, Agnus put in a word to Vaan to see if Ashley could dine with him and the guests that night. This is how Ashley found herself now.
When Lydia continued to be silent, Ashley decided she would get this girl talking somehow.
“Yes.”
Ashley coughed curiously and continued, “How long have you two,” Ashley nodded her head towards Lydia, “known each other?”
Lydia spoke before Tidus could get in a sentence. “Not long actually. I have to tell…” Tidus gave Lydia a stern look. “Actually we have known each other a long time. How about you, and my cousin, Vaan?” Tidus sipped his red wine.
Ashley looked Vaan in the eye and nodded, “A while now, we recently got married.” Ashley decided she wanted to ask one more question. “So are you a fish boy too, then?”
Tidus spat all his wine over the white table cloth before Vaan stood up in restrained anger. “That’s enough honey,” he forced himself to be civil, “why don’t you show our female guest Lydia to your room? You’ll be residing in the same quarters?”
Ashley glanced at Lydia who nodded quickly, “We both want to tell each other something.”
Ashley thought for a moment before she declared, “Very well then. Let us go, Lydia.”
***
“So Ashley is in another dimension?” Leon looked up from the floor and glared hopelessly at the man, called professor Namrams, in the floating chair, “How the hell are we meant to rescue her?” It was funny, all Leon s life he had been rescuing people on Earth and now he was expect to go to another dimension to rescue the president’s daughter, the one whom he thought held his heart in her hand. How the hell was he going to do this?
He looked up as Becky drew breath. “A dimension key.” was the answer she gave to his question. “This one is clever,” Namrams floated about watering his plants.
“The question is, where is this key?” Becky tapped the table in hope the answer would come to her question.
But Vicki chipped in this time. “The last time I saw my friend Chris, he said he was leaving for a bit as he had come across a map in a cave he had been exploring as he was an explorer. And he went into a bathroom, in a deserted mansion in Karasona Region. He just disappeared. I checked round the room as he had gone for a year, and found a journal with a very detailed map in it, saying he was going to a different dimension and the portal key was in this bathroom.”
Namrams giggled “There is your answer.”
As the group turned to leave Namrams laughed, “If you see my wife please return her. She is a Scottish maid.”
The team went over the plan outside the cave. “…and that is what we do.” Leon finished.
Steve took at step back and waved his hands and shook his head. “It has been fun, honestly it has. But I wasn’t revived by Wesker to die again. I just think this adventure is too big for us.”
Becky looked agitated and walked towards her cousin. Becky punched Steve in the face with such force he fell over. “That felt good,” Becky smiled as Steve got back to his feet. “Look I know some people who could help us out. They deal with this all the time. I’m ringing Balthier and Jade.” And a grape.

Chapter 23
Ashley led Lydia up the stairs and along the corridor. On the way they bumped into the Scottish Maid. Ashley painted a fake smile upon her face and Lydia followed suit.
”Hello 'der deary, ye cheered up since we last met. Goo' job master Vaan brought company for ye, m'dear.” The maid turned to Lydia and stoked her cheek. The maid coughed and began to walk away. “Naw I have to go shave ma’ face.”
Lydia
followed Ashley through the only purple door in the corridor. Ashley silently gestured around the room, until Lydia finally sat herself down on a bunch of purple satin pillows, where Ashley decided to plop herself down.
”I know something about the boys…”

”Jade and Balthier are on their way. They could really help us,” Becky and Leon continued talking about this, while Steve spoke to Vicki.
”Can I talk to you alone Vicki?”
She looked confused, “But we are alone.”
Steve grabbed Vicki’s hand and led her behind a lone cactus. “I have to tell you something,” Steve said. Vicki looked worried.
”But I thought we talked this through.” At that moment the blood falling from the sky dripped down Vicki’s cheek. Steve reached out and wiped off the blood while Vicki closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she couldn’t see Steve standing in front of her: she looked down and saw him on one knee.
”Will you marry me?” And a rabbi grape.

Chapter 24

"... and that's all I know." said Lydia. Ashley gasped with terror.
"What will we do?" Ashley exclaimed, "We have to get out of here!"
Lydia said hastily, "That is agreed, the problem is how?"
The girls thought for a moment, then devised a plan.
***
"Yes." Vicki whispered, and then shouted, "Yes!"
Steve hugged her joyfully, then they ran to Leon and Becky. Steve winked at Leon with a twinkle in his eye.
"Congratulations Vicki!" Becky hugged her, and then turned to Steve. "Congratulations Steve!" Becky opened her arms to hug him, but he cowered away.
"Don't hurt me!"
Becky laughed in the face of Steve, "Don't make me giggle." Becky swooped Steve into a hug then turned to the whole group with a serious look on her face. "We must get going; I said we'd meet Jade and Balthier in the Sandsea."
And with that, the group set off for Rabanastre. As per usual Steve and Vicki were at the back, but this time they discussed weddings.
Leon and Becky were at the front. "It's so great Vicki and Steve have found 'the one'."
Leon kept his eyes forward, "Yeah, it's pretty cool."
Becky smiled and glanced up at Leon, "Do you believe in true love?"
Leon looked down at Becky, "Well, I... oh look, Rabanastre!"
Leon grabbed Becky's hand and ran to the Sandsea with Steve doing the same with Vicki and then trailing behind. They ran through the door and waited for Balthier and Jade. Leon sat at the bar waiting for a drink when he felt a tap on his back.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Kennedy?" And an exacataly grape.

Chapter 25
"I'm just going to see if they're okay," Vaan said, "They seemed a bit... distant to put it. Look, I'm opening the door... Tidus, get up here! Get up here now. They're gone!"
Tidus flew up the stairs and flung himself towards Ashley's bedroom.
"How... what... why?" Tidus stuttered. Vaan had a twisted smile on his face.
"What's so happy, jolly eh?"
Vaan gazed outside the window, "The only way they can get out is through the dimension key, which is hidden in my bedroom. They won't be far. I'll have some people guard it while we track them down."
***
Becky glanced over towards Leon. She saw a small peculiar man, who wore quite old fashioned clothes. He was about the size of a young boy, maybe smaller than young Larsa. Becky strolled over. “Hey Leon.” She turned to the unfortunate small person. “Hey…?”
The man smiled pleasantly, “Ramon. Ramon Salazar at your acquaintance.”
***
“Ashley, we can’t go anywhere. We may as well turn ourselves in,” Lydia sighed as she collapsed into a heap.
Ashley shook her head hard. “No way! I am not going back.”
Lydia sighed, then jumped up and a beaming smile spread across her face, “I think I have a plan!”
***
Becky dropped her drink and made an unfortunate stain on his pants.
Leon jumped to Becky’s side. “It’s okay,” Leon tried to comfort her, but Becky still spluttered.
“You’re dead!”
The Ramon guy chuckled to himself, and then spoke squeakily, “Actually, I’m not.” And a grape.


Chapter 26
"... And Wesker managed to get some of mine, or Ramon's, DNA and managed to clone me," Ramon, or his clone, whatever you wish to call him, finished explaining his story and turned to Becky. "Beautiful maiden, a man who brings destruction in his path!"
Leon pushed Ramon over, so his question sounded more menacing. "Who is this man?" Leon loomed over Ramon, looking slightly emo.
Ramon gulped, "Wesker."

Becky sighed, "They ain't coming - Jade and Balthier."

Vicki and Steve, sitting hand in hand, smiled whilst they looked down from their table placed on the balcony. Right then, a mysterious man walked in. His hair brown, his eyes shielded by dark glasses. A smile spread to the far corners of Vicki's face, whilst Steve puzzled over the familiar face. He couldn't remember anything after he was brought back to life, even his rescuer... Wesker.
The man looked directly at Vicki and went up the steps towards the balcony. "Do you mind if I take your woman for a while?" the man added a sly smile. Steve gave a hypnotised nod whilst frowning and biting his lip.
The man slipped his hand into Vicki's and led her into a nearby barn. And a righteous grape.


Chapter 27
Wesker pushed the barn door open and threw Vicki in when he was sure no one was looking. Vicki slowly backed away as fast as she could, but a forceful gloved hand grabbed her hair and flung her into a scruffy pile of hay.
“Why are you doing this?” Vicki gurgled through a mouth full of blood. Wesker pulled Vicki’s face close to his and twitched his mouth, which almost looked like a smile.
“A man wants me to kill you to warn off your friends. I would have killed The Chestnut but I made him relive so he is like a son to me.”
Wesker grabbed Vicki by the cheeks and breathed heavily in her face. Vicki whimpered and whispered, “Why?”
Wesker pinned Vicki to the barn wall using darts to stick her clothes to the wall. Wesker strutted and cleared his throat like he was about to tell a story...

But before he could start, Steve flew in. POW! Steve karate chopped Wesker. As Wesker stumbled back, Steve twirled around and his clothes changed from his usual garbs into red and black ninja fighting garments (Complete with ninja head band). Steve flipped himself over and started fighting the ninjas that surrounded him. When every last one fell over, Steve turned to Wesker.

“You will now be destroyed by your own creation.”

Before Wesker could reply with a witty remark, Steve did a triple axel flip and brought his fist down on Wesker’s shoulder.

But before Steve could deliver the final blow, Vicki called out, “Steve don’t kill him!” Steve was so focused on Vicki’s voice, he didn’t realise Wesker had walked out, until it was too late.

Steve unhooked Vicki and pulled her on his back. He walked slowly towards the exit and paused at the barn door. “What went on in this barn, stays in this barn.” And with that they left. And an awesome grape.


Chapter 28

“So you’re telling me we are in danger of Wesker?” Leon shook his head.

“Not anymore,” Steve declared (he had his normal clothes on because if anyone else apart from Vicki found out he was not the dumb ass everyone thought he was, his amazing crime fighting skills would falter. Only Vicki was allowed to know because Steve loved her dearly). “He heard Leon was in town and scampered.”

“They always do,” Leon started blushing when he realised Vicki and Steve were chuckling at his comment.

Becky (who had been on phone) stormed over to the other guys. “Jade and Balthier aren’t coming so let us go.”

Steve was about to say he didn’t want to be involved in the mission but he had a flashback.

“Steve took a step back and waved his hands and shook his head. “It has been fun, honestly it has. But I wasn’t revived by Wesker to die again. I just think this adventure is too big for us.”
Becky looked agitated and walked towards her cousin. Becky punched Steve in the face with such force he fell over. “That felt good,” Becky smiled as Steve got back to his feet.”

Another flashback came to him.

“Will you play a game with me Steve?”

Steve didn’t want to upset his cousin and He was her only source of entertainment as Vicki and Leon had gone to the shop to get pickled onions and a loaf of bread. “Erm ok, sure.”

Becky smiled slyly, “Anything?”

“’Kay” Steve nodded once not aware of the huge smirk on her face.

“It’s called hit Steve with a wet fish.” And so Becky produced a huge tuna…

Steve shuddered. “Her mood really is otherworldly,” Steve muttered in Leon and Vicki’s direction.

Leon whispered quietly, “More than you know.” He coughed on the back of his hand and spoke louder, “Let’s get this show on the road, eh?”

And a flash dancing grape.



The Chapter With No Number
(Note: Okay, there seems to be a problem. It appears that a whole lot of chapters have gone walkies so the chapter I'm about to post - thanks Vicki for sending me it - does not continue from the previous one... sorry! XD)
The Crunch Bunch, plus the additional Jade and Balthier, ravenously ate their scones and tea.
"I need the little men's room." declared Steve as he jumped to his feet. He waddled towards the stairs when he let out an ear piercing screech. Vicki was the first one to rush to Steve, who was now flat on his back at the bottom of the marble stairs.
"My chestnut, have you hurt thy self?" Vicki kneeled beside her love whilst the other guys tried not to collapse in laughter. Vicki helped Steve up and helped him walk to the nearest bathroom. Once he was securely in the bathroom, Vicki trotted down the stairs and joined in the gangs conversation about apple pie. Another loud screech came from the location of Steve but when Vicki got up, Becky just shook her head.
"Probably just fell down the stairs again," mumbled Jade.

30 MINUTES LATER

"Where the hell is Steve?" Vicki ranted as she paced the room.
"I'll check!" volunteered Balthier. (NOTE: When writing this, Becky wrote 'volunteered Chris' by mistake. He's not even in the story! XD)
"We'll all go," added Jade.
So that is how an adventure began.
"Steeeeeeeeve!" called Leon through the door.
"We're going to have to kick it down," sighed Vicki. Becky booted the door down with superhuman strength, to everyone's astonishment except her own.
"You've got to teach me that!" Balthier said as they strolled into the bathroom.
"Steve isn't in here!" Vicki gasped. Everyone looked around and after their failed attempt, Jade decided to go lean on the toilet.
"SPIDER!" Vicki screeched, so Jade nudged the toilet flusher and they all went to another dimension where Steve happened to be lying on the floor.
