Shooting Range, Sunday Evening

[withoutverona]

Romeo felt very important and very big as he walked up to the gun range and opened the door. He'd been carrying his toy gun around all day, and now he'd get to prove he had the best aim!

This was the best weekend ever.

"I think we aren't supposed to shoot at each other," he cautioned the two blondes and redheaded boy as they entered.

"I din't do it," Rikku said, clutching her Godhand close. Best to get that out of the way, now. It'd be handy later.

[raspberryturk]

"Nobody said you did," Reno replied, tapping his cardboard tube stun baton on his shoulder like a pro. "Duh."

Girls were silly. That's why he was a boy.

"Of course not, Rikku. We haven't done anything yet," Dōjima clarified, shooting Reno a glance. Rikku was little, and she had to make sure the boys didn't pick on her.

She waved her gun (http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/default.cfm?page=viewproduct&product_id=17114) around and grinned. "Not that no 'dults can prove, anyways."

[withoutverona]

"We're not gonna get in trouble," Romeo said definitively. "An' if any adults come down, we'll be sneaky!"

Romeo's logic clearly was not improved by being eight.

[the_merriest]

"I's good at sneakin'," Rikku announced. "I killed vamper dust bunnies. POOF!"

[raspberryturk]

"That's because you're littler than us," Reno informed her, sticking out his tongue. "That makes you betterer at sneakin', yo."

...

"But we're still good at sneakin' too!"

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"No one suspects the little ones," Yurika agreed, tugging slightly on Rikku's hat. "'Sides, the 'dults don't have a reason to come down today, so we're totally cool. We can shoot whatever, and they won't knows it was us."

[withoutverona]

"We can!" Romeo agreed. "Plus we're supposed to shoot things in here, it's the rule."

He grinned at his gun. "This shoots darts."

[the_merriest]

"I gots a Glock!" Rikku announced. "And my Goooooooooooodhand."

She brought both, but only one was velcro'd on. Hey, ancient legendary weapon, here.

[raspberryturk]

"I gotts my EMR." Reno's EMR hadn't had a good weekend. It was a little flat, at one end, from killing vampire dustbunnies.

...

"It doesn't shoot stuff, though."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"But it can block stuff, right?" Yurika asked, poking at it with her gun. "I bet you could be all 'zoom' and 'bam' with it, and block stuff. Or we can find a target for you to beat up."

[raspberryturk]

"I'm real good at zoom and bam!" He was. He was the fastest Turk ever.

But he was going to pout anyway.

"But I wanna shoot stuff."

[withoutverona]

"I got another gun in the locker!" Romeo reassured Reno, and went to get it.

Considering, he handed Reno his personal handgun, which now shot darts. "This other one" -- a water pistol -- "came from Ino and she got it in Paris and it cost a million zillion dollars," he explained. "So it's mine."

[raspberryturk]

"Thaaaank you, Romeo," Reno said, taking Romeo's gun. It was pretty, and gun-like an' stuff, and it was awesome, and Romeo was Reno's bestest school-friend ever. "I won't break it, promise!"

[the_merriest]

"Can I see?" Rikku asked, bouncing on her toes. "Can I?"

This was definitely a good idea, for a gun that cost a million zillion dollars that Reno wasn't supposed to break.

Remembering last night's soda incident, Yurika barely repressed a wince. "Why don't you go get your Glock, Rikku, and then we can all start shooting?"

[the_merriest]

"Okays," Rikku decided, nodding. And wandered off. Probably in the right direction. More or less. Oooh, shiny!

[withoutverona]

Romeo considered pointing her in closer to the right direction, but it wasn't like she could get lost.

Besides, he had a gun, Yurika had a gun, and Reno had a gun. This could only mean one thing.

"Bang, bang!" he giggled, and ran to the other end of the range to wait for retaliation.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Bang!" she yelled back, quickly firing off some darts before darting around to find cover. If he was going to start the fight, far be it from Yurika to run away. "I'm gonna get you!"

[raspberryturk]

"Boys against girrrrls," Reno called, running after Romeo. He totally owed Yurika for getting icky girl-goody-makeup on his face and everything!

[withoutverona]

"Boys against girls," Romeo echoed. "'Cause boys rule."

Waiting for Reno to catch up to him, he asked, in a loud whisper, "Do you wanna get Yurika first, or Rikku?"

[raspberryturk]

"Rikku doesn't gotts her glock yet," Reno pointed out. "So shootin' her when she's all unarmed and stuff would be mean."

He was a noble little fart, dangit.

"An' Yurika got ucky red stuff on my face," he added.

She had to go down.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"No fair, Rikku isn't back yet!" Yurika yelled, quickly reloading her dart gun. "Girls rule and boys DROOL, 'cause you don't play fair!"

[withoutverona]

"We'll wait for Rikku to start!" Romeo said.

To Reno, he added, in the same loud whisper, "Rikku's just a baby anyhow, we should go easy on her."

[the_merriest]

It was easy being sneaky when everyone forgot you wandered off. That meant you could wander back in at an opportune moment and nail somebody right in the back.

"I started," she declared proudly, shooting at Romeo. And she totally did.

[withoutverona]

"Shooting in the back is no fair!" Romeo pouted

And, promptly forgetting all about going easy on Rikku, he aimed a stream of water at her.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

Three darts were quickly fired at Romeo's head, as Yurika grinned down from her perch above the boys.

She'd used their plotting time to climb up on the furniture, and now had a sweet spot on an ammo case. "Didn't your Daddies ever tell you how to treat ladies?"

[withoutverona]

Romeo craned his head, complete with darts, way back to glare at her. "Uh-huh, but girls who shoot at you aren't ladies!"

He aimed the water pistol at her to help make this point, especially trying to douse her hair.

[raspberryturk]

"I'll take Rikku and you take makeupface," Reno said, letting Romeo shoot at Yurika while be aimed his gun at Rikku and fired two darts in her general direction.

It was entirely possible that he missed on purpose. Sssh. She didn't have cooties or nothin', so didn't deserve to be shot.

[the_merriest]

Rikku, on the other hand? Was totally aiming. Not like it helped much, but she was.

"You're goin' down!" she announced. Hey, she could aim at Romeo, too!

It was probably good she couldn't see Yurika at the moment. As the concept of "teams" had evaded her entirely.

[withoutverona]

Good thing aiming didn't mean hitting; she missed Romeo by a good yard.

He ducked behind a partial wall to plan his next move. Just the top if his head was visible.
