A family day

I was walking back home from the library on one sunny June day. I've just finished reading a book two days ago and I've got another one that I've already read but I still enjoyed reading it.

Only this time it is now mine personally.

I was probably the only teenager at my age that still reads books and love reading more than the average person does. The librarian and the owner was probably one of my older friends that I had when I was alone on those times and I do help him sometimes with work. He's probably the only one who had more imaginations than anyone I knew and still be a down to earth kind of person. He gave it to me personally and that I can keep it cause I'm probably the only person who enjoyed it. Even if I declined, he's insisted that I keep it as my own.

I was so exited about my new book that I was reading on chapter two on my way home and into the pathway. I was going to show it to my my father and sister until I remembered that we had our relatives over for our annual summer family reunion. I was even more exited to show them as well.

Well... almost all of them.

I then got surprised by someone who dropped off from our tree and next to me. It was my cousin. “Hello, Felix.” Alex stand there proudly as if I was supposed to be impressed from his hiding skills. He does that recently...

However, I wasn't fazed and just politely said. “Good afternoon, Alex-!” He then snatched my book from my hands when I was about to read one of my favorite parts. “Alex, may I have my book please?” I said as I tried to reach for it again, but Alex wasn't letting that happened as he flipped over the pages while he held it from the side. “How can you read these? There's barely no pictures.”

I frowned and I had to tell him. “Well some people used their imaginations.” I don't remember how he became more of a jerk as we're growing up, but I don't remember doing anything to upset him.

He then closes it and waved it a bit. “Felix, It's about time you need to get your nose out of those old books and do what the other cool kids at our age are doing. How can you expect to fit in if you don't even act like them?” He then tosses my book on the grass carelessly. I tried to recovered it, but he then steps on it to prevent me to picking it up. “What ever happened to your soccer enthusiasts? Did you quit or is there nobody else who would want to play as usual?” He empathized on it as if I had nobody else in this city who's my friend.

“I didn't quit cause I felt like it, I just wanted to help Jade with my nephews. She and dad can't be home all the time so I decided to help them like a responsible kid at my age and yours.” He then 'tsked', flung my book along with his left foot and it flew pass me. I closed my eyes to prevent the dirt that got caught with it from getting in them. I spat a bit.

“Responsible. Responsible. Blah blah blah! No wonder the other kids were saying you're weird! Life is too short to be taking things too seriously and settle down too soon. I preferred to live freely and do whatever I want with no regrets AND be more... up to date. Being the 'good boy' is so old fashioned you know?” He sneered close to my face as if to mock me of my values... What is he so up against me personally to act this way?

He then was pulled away from someone who was much taller than him and someone who's not to be reckon with if I'm being bullied. My sister. She was wearing her beautiful emerald green summer dress along with light blue earrings for this occasion. She help him with one hand like she was holding dirty laundry.

“There you are, Alex. Auntie wants you to help them unpack your things before we have our barbecue picnic tonight.” She said.

“Hey! This ain't fair! I'm here on vacation! HE should be the one to help unpack things for us!” Alex pointed at me as if I was his 'servant' for being our guest.

“You know our rules, if you lived under our roof, you need to follow them or look for another place to sleep. Or would you rather I tell them about his violin that was 'misplaced' last Christmas?” She gave him 'that' look and he shuttered.

“Fine... I'll go.” He surrendered with his hands up. After he was put down, he went inside the house. My sister picked up my book as I got up and dust myself off. She handed my book over. “I heard and saw what happened. Are you alright? Should we tell them privately?” She said with a worried look. I knew she was just protecting me, but I don't want to give her and the others more trouble that I should. She alone had done more than enough for me...

“Yeah... I am. Thanks and... No, there's no need. He's probably just grumpy from the trip.” I forced a smile.

“Felix... I know you're lying. I told you I heard all of it and he was being just as mean as the other kids.” She crossed her arms.

“But... Don't you think I’m... odd?” I politely asked her about myself. It's true that I do other things that aren't common with the other kids, but I felt like I'm being... sticking out. “MY little brother? Odd? You let what he said get to you? I though we talked about this before.”

“I-I know! I know! I just... wanted to be normal. It's just a bit hard for me to fit in here sometimes, just because I preferred reading, playing violin and occasionally soccer over partying at a soda joint every weekend and football games.” I looked down at my book. She then made me look up to her and said. “You are great just the way you are! We don't care what others think about you and you are unique. They're just jealous about you being different and your niceness. A rare combination along with your cute cat looks!” She then messed up my hair a bit as if it was teasing me...

Then every thing turns bright...

----

I awoke from the bright sunlight as I realized that I was taking a cat nap on the lawn chair. That dream... it was ten years ago that happened... I realized that today was the exact same day for my family barbecue!

“Ah! Carp fish! How long did I slept?” I was supposed to be helping setting up the tables and chairs along with-

I then realized that all of those things I was supposed to do were almost done when I turn my head to the right. The tables was well placed, the chairs were just placed by the kids and Sheba, Kitty was placing some of the summer favors for the barbecue meal and then there was Sam, who he was just standing there with the grill and dressed as the BBQ king... baking the meats.

I was shocked and a bit upset, but I didn't let it show. What is wrong with me? I was supposed to be the responsible one!

So I spoke to them. “Guys! It was my job to set this up!” I got up and walked over to Sam who's grilling the meats. “You've done most of these things last night so that today we didn't need to do much. Not to mentioned that you've been a bit busy with work lately... We all decided to pitch in a bit, so go back to relaxing.” He said as he taken off the first set of patties.

“But I'm the one who said we'd have it and-”

“You've done more than enough. The prepping, finding these table and chairs, cleaning out some dishes a bit and you've been a bit stressed out lately due to work on top of it like Sam said.” Sheba crossed her arms while Kitty and the kids went back inside to get some other things.

“But... That's just normal. I just wanted to do these things again ever since well... dad passed away. I also wanted to give the kids some good times and new bonding memories. I don't want to be known as a 'strict' parent figure forever.” I knew I had to lay some rules on them, but I knew that they're still kids... They are taking after my sister after all.

“Ne t'inquiète pas, mon amie. I knew they're grateful to you more than you know, even if they never show it. Heck! I've seen that soccer practice one time where Inky was the goalie and Winky was there playing guard position or something next to him. Do you remember what the other kids, including the opposite team were doing?” Sam questioned me on that soccer practice one time he decided to come and see with me.

“They were all having fun and that they're all winners at the end of the day?” I said it with optimistic thoughts.

“Kids were going the wrong way or doing other things than actually playing the game!” He snapped. “You see what they were all doing! Some went off to see with their parents, some were just fighting each other with fists, some are picking up flowers and should I mentioned that your kids and coach Tony's minds would be at the time saying: What the h3ll is going on right now?” He may have exaggerated a bit, but I knew I would never allow them to say such language.

“I don't always agree with Toucan all the time, but he's right about one thing. Your kids are the only ones who can actually play the game correctly for now. Even Coach Tony wanted them, especially Winky, to be on one of his sports team once they're old enough to join.” Sheba backed him up on him claim.

I raised an eyebrow. “Seriously? But I didn't had much time to practice and most of it was just some of the things I used to do at their age.”

“Does your kids have ever read a bunch of boring books at that age too?” I then recognized that voice from that one mirrored person that came out of my home. Alex.

“Oh wow. Sir Lazy-bum has finally showed up once everything is done.” Sam sarcastically said as Alex came up to the three of us. “I had to make sure my hair is perfectly fine. Not everyone has dirty black hair like you, my dear cousin.” He said that just to piss me off, but his taunts are nothing compared to what I had to endure for others.

“Nobody asked for your opinion, old fart. Here's your next chore: Go to the nearby motel and wash. You smell like a urinal in a Portuguese cat house. You're not gonna attract anyone with male perfume that comes out of a bottle, ok?” Sam replied with a glare.

I bet that he's probably one of the only person who knew my 'real' cousin very well and that he's not that stupid to fall for his 'charms.' Truth is, I trust him more than my cousin does when I needed someone to look after the kids.

That comment aggravated Alex a bit.“So? Felix uses cologne too! I don't hear YOU saying anything about it!”

“That's because he doesn't uses half a bottle, enters an elevator full of people and smells like they've stood next to a f#cking pine tree! He just uses less and you can learn a thing about 'less is more' from him.” Sam's advice might have triggered Alex even more due to the fact his left eye is twitching a bit. “Or if you want you can do what European men's do and go natural. One time, a sophisticated guy was standing next to me, he smells like a pile of dog sh!t. I think THAT will suit you just fine.” Sam then smirked at that and Alex glared him with an unusual frown.

“Ha-ha-ha! I forgot how to laugh for a moment, king Dodo.” He mocked Sam due to the fact he's on grilling duty and usually, they're referred to BBQ kings but he refereed to his last nickname as a bird species.

“How original. In the name of the court of law, I shall knight thee!” Now THAT was unusual from Sam to compliment...

“He's plotting something, I can tell.” Sheba warned me with a whisper.

“Oh? Well do, your UN-gracefulness.” Alex then made a bowing gesture to play along. Sam raised his spatula a bit like he would handle a specter. “In the name of justice, I knight thee-” BONK!!

He smacked Alex's head with a decent amount of force to knock him face down. With a judge's mallet he had hidden from his apron and then hid it again from behind his back. “Arise! Sir Douche of Bag!”

“OW! WHAT THE-!!!” BONK!! Sam hit his head again before he gets the chance to look up. “Arise! Sir Stu of Pid!”

“Grr!-” BONK!! “Arise! Baron of bad news!”

“How did we ended up with him again?” Sheba asked me. “Coffee. We met at our usual coffee shop almost every day.” Asides from the fact that I met him on my fist solo case with the Six Busts of Anubis... in a coffee shop and so on.

Mean while, Sam and Alex's shenanigans continued. BONK!! “Arise! Sir Pent of Zoology!”

“This is stup-!” BONK!! “Arise! Sir Duke-of-Dunces!”

I tried to end this with words but to no avail. I knew Sam and Alex disliked each other like I am with Bendy.

BONK!! “ Arise! Prince-of-Stooges!” BONK!! “Sir bull of sh!t!” BONK!! “Master of none!"

“O.K! That's enough entitlements for now!" I held him back before he's gonna put him in a coma and I had to inform my relatives in Australia of this 'accident.' “Aw! I was about to entitle him as Sir Nincom of Poop."

"I'll tell him that later. Please put that away before you'll sentence him to death by the judge's own mallet." He shrugged it off as if he's like 'whatever' and I looked down at my cousin passed out with so many bumps on his head. I didn't see any blood... which is a good sign... to keep my tall friend from going in jail and had to move coffee time to jail talk time.

I'm not gonna lie, my cousin's 'job' is something to frown upon yet some people have a hard time seeing that. Because nobody knew the real tea with him and they'd fall for his looks...

I then heard a familiar voice coming from the house that I haven't heard from a long time in a loud tone. “Good afternoon, everyone! How's summer vacation is going with you two?” That's right! Woody McPecker! He's a reporter and is a vital member for our team.

But then... Just then, I 'sensed' someone else with a powerful aura that I never felt before yet... so similar?

I saw Kitty, Inky, Winky, Woody and then the last person I saw was a stranger.

This guy had black, medium, wavy/curly hair with a pony tail, pale skin, have an unusual mask that looks like it's a ribbon with eyes, but it does make him look mysterious. He wore some blue royal themed summer clothing like he's from a wealthy family. He smiled at our eye contact and waved.

“Ah, Félix. I forgot to mentioned this, but I thought that we might meet our newest member. This is Matteo DeLuca. He's gonna be the newest coroner for your department.” Sam introduced him.

“Huh? But I thought that he was gonna be our new school nurse!” Winky said with confusion.

“I am that too. Little gattino.” He patted Winky's head gently with his black gloves... Those look really cool, I admit...

“I will be working with your uncle and I will be helping the school on days that your regular nurse would be absent. I do hope that we would be close friends after this, Mr. Lockheart.” He extended his arm for a handshake.

He seems like a friendly person. “Um... Yeah. You can just call me Felix. No need to be formal with me.” Just when we made a pact, I then 'saw' from my vision an intimidating silhouette of an deity I would probably recognize better until we let go of our pact.

He then asked. “Are you alright?” I realized that I was a bit of a daze for a second there. “Yes! Yes I am! I'm probably still a bit drowsy from a quick cat nap a moment ago.”

“Bro, you DEFINATELY need an overdue relaxation from those detective work cases. Otherwise, we'll be having it in the asylum one of these days.” Sheba joked.

“Scusami, but may I asked if that gentlemen with many bumps on his head is still alive?” He pointed out Alex's unconscious state with his face down position. We've completely forgot he was still there.

“Unfortunately, he is.” Sam replied and I hushed him. Then Matteo went to Alex's position and bend his knees down when we heard his coming to his senses. He looks up to see Matteo smiling softly at him until he screamed in terror.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” I haven't remembered the last time he jumped so high to one of the tallest branches up a tree.

“That's gotta be a new record! The title is yours, doctor!” Woody complimented.

“I doubt that I could never pull off something like that. Nice work, Matteo.” Sam smug a smile.

Me and the others were still confused in our own ways. Why did Alex freaked out when he saw this Matteo guy?

“W-w-w-w-w-w-what the heck is this guy doing here?! How?why?where?what?!” He was furious and panicked while he waved his pointing arm to him.

“Oh... It's no secret, Alexandre... Or is it 'Alex' this time? You really did think we would never meet again?” Matteo responded.

“Huh? Have you and Alex met before?” Kitty questioned curiously.

He turned and gave another soft smile. But I felt like he's putting a mask on what he really felt. “Actually, yes we did almost a year ago in Egypt. It was on my first trip after that awful war ended and we well... let's just say we get to know each other well enough.”

I 'sensed' some intimidation from him and fear from my cousin. Normally, my cousin would be far too confident to feel any fear, but this time it was different. Matteo was definitely was not lying... but somewhat concealed the truth.

Just who is this guy behind that smile?

Alex then got down and then said. “Welp! It was nice and all! But unfortunately, I have other 'business' to attend to. So!-” He turns to me, face to face. “I 'wished' you a 'pleasant' party with your 'wonderful' friends and I really 'loved' to know them more, but can't. I 'LOVE' to! But CAN'T!” He faked his smile and I detected more lies than his stash of stolen jewelries in one heist.

“Are you sure you don't wished to discuss our time in Egypt? I'm sure every-” Alex then cuts him off with a nervous but a calm demeanor. “It was just a boring exhibition and a stupid puzzle that only Felix would like to talk for hours and hours. Now we know the story. I'll be taking my leave now if you all excuse me.” He then took a hasty leave and we were all... awkward.

“Why did uncle Alex leave so early?” Inky asked. “Because he knew that later we would be all playing 'swat the thief!' and he's gonna be the thief.” Sam had showed a tennis racket with a smirk and half-joked about it.

“Sam! I do not promote unnecessary violence, especially in front of the kids.” I scolded him.

“You're right.” Sam agreed and then turned to the twins. “Like your uncle said: We do not use violence unless it's an emergency. That's why your uncle Sam was locking uncle Alex outside of the house whenever I look after you two.”

I should have known from my smart@$$ friend. He's just as cunning as Bendy and I can hardly handle him.

“At least the table is all set! Why don't we all eat before the burgers are gettin' cold?” Woody said and then the others all agreed on.

Before I joined in, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Matteo. “You are very fortunate to have such good friends. I do wished to be one too. I hope for us to be on good terms.” He said and left me in a bit of a confusion.

This guy seems friendly enough... I didn't sense any malicious motives from him nor he's the type to steal my girl like my cousin...

But I decided to let it go for now. I'm sure that my sister and my father would want me to take it easy for today. I did wanted to make new fond memories after all.

----Author’s note-----

It’s been a while since I’ve typed a fic.

So just to start, I’ve been inspired by that Beauty and the Beast scene with Gaston and the book thing. I also took the Bugs Bunny gag with “I shall knight the!”

I made a return on an OC that I didn’t use much since the Golden Eyes fanfic series. I was thinking that maybe I should remake this one and I also made a brand new OC which is Matteo DeLuca.

I will be making a whole new fanfic series with him as a co-star, but it’s gonna take some time so please don’t mark any thing on calendars or I will promise anything, but I will do my best.

Humanized Felix and the gang belongs to Marini4. OCs Sam Toucan, Woody Mcpecker and Matteo DeLuca belongs to me.
