Fortune Cookies
Ryder walked in quietly, a blank expression on his face. No one took notice as he stood and looked around the room. He let a smirk slowly grow as he reached into his bag, grabbing a surprise. He lifted his arm and threw the object at Ballast, watching as it hit his head.
“Hey! What was that for?” Ballast said while looking up, slightly confused.
“Look at it,” Ryder replied. Ballast hesitantly looked down before a grin came to his face.
“It’s a fortune cookie!”
“What? Why don’t I get one?” Foxy said as he frowned at his brother.
“Don’t worry, I got us all one,” Ryder said before chucking one at Foxy’s head. He repeated that action for everyone in the room, ending with Thumbs, who gave him a thumbs up when he received his.
“Oh! Can I read mine first?” Pepper asked excitedly. The others nodded, letting their brother read.
“It says, ‘sticky days are coming.’ Does that mean more stickers?! I think it means more stickers!” He nearly yelled, excitedly reaching into his pocket and slapping a fortune cookie sticker on his nearest brother, which happened to be Cypher.
“Ha! Mine says, ‘you’re going to be blown away soon.’ Do you think that has something to do with blowing something up?” Ballast questioned.
“If by something, you mean yourself, then yes,” Skip responded, to which Ballast stuck his tongue out at.
“Don’t listen to him, Ballast. I’m sure your next project will work!” Thumbs said, trying to reassure his brother.
“I can tell you’re lying, but thanks anyways.”
“Everyone quiet, I’m going to read mine,” Jackal announced. “‘Something will crash land into your life.’ Do you think it’s a new ship?”
“Please, for the love of the Maker, no,” Ryder said, suppressing a shiver.
“What’s going on in here?” Raffle said as he walked into the room, seeing the clones all holding tiny pieces of paper.
“Ryder brought us fortune cookies, and they’re strangely accurate,” Boots said.
“Fortune cookies?”
“Yeah. Here, mine says, ‘you are about to witness something that might possibly end someone’s life…’” Jack said, his words slowly as he got further down the sentence. He looked up and met Raffle’s confused expression before it happened. He clapped a hand to his mouth to stop his laughter as a fortune cookie bounced off of Raffle’s face.
“S-sorry Captain,” Ryder said as he tried not to laugh. “I wasn’t aiming directly for your face.” Raffle merely slowly turned to face Ryder, his eyes narrowing as he stared dangerously at the clone.
“Run,” was all the Captain said before Ryder’s eyes went wide, dropping the bag and sprinting from the room, Raffle chasing after him.
“What was that all about?” General Whiro asked as she walked in.
“Ryder threw a fortune cookie at Raffle’s face,” Sparks snickered.
“And I got it on holovideo!” Luna added happily. A minute later, as they all sat around and discussed their fortunes, Ryder ran back in, out of breath.
“Hide me! He has the fly swatter!” He then dove behind Brisk and Rane, trying to shield himself from their Captain.
“Where is he?” Raffle said as he walked in, eyes scanning the room.
“He went that way,” Rane replied, pointing out the far door.
“Thanks,” Raffle said before running out, shoving G00-S out of the way as he went.
“You’re safe now, Ryder,” Brisk said while patting his head.
“You know, I think I’m going to stay back here for a little while longer…just in case.” The others in the room laughed before going back to their previous activities, only for Raffle to run back in right as Ryder came out of hiding. Another deadly chase ensued, and it lasted all night until G00-S tripped Ryder and Raffle tackled him, swatting at him with the fly swatter.
