《Just go with it | Falice fanfiction》Chapter eleven

The plane ride was long, and extremely excruciating. But once they entered the big luxurious hotel, their annoyance seemed to have faded away.
The five of the bunch sat down and waited, as FP went up to the front desk to get some rooms.
"Hey, I didn't have time to make any reservations, but I need two rooms please and thank you." FP tells the man.
"Of course." He smiles back as he starts typing in his computer. "Sir, unfortunately we only have our suits left."
"Oh boy." FP sighs, knowing that he wasn't going to like this.
"The Master-suite at $8,000 per night, and the Presidential at $12,000." The man smiles.
"12,000 dollars per night?" The man nods.
"Do the Rolling Stones come and play for me while I'm there? What the hell is it so much for? Is it made out of panda?" FP rambles on at how ridiculous the price was.
"No, but you've made some terrific suggestions, and I'm going to jot them down... are you a member of the Hilton Honours Rewards program?" The man asks rudely.
"No, I am not."
"Oh, that sucks... you should really join." The man grins sassily.
FP rolls his eyes before handing over his credit card. The man chuckles lowly at his furiousness as he grabs his card, and makes the reservations for FP.
"Have a nice stay." FP shakes his head at that as he turns around to face his dysfunctional, fake family.
"Just got robbed! I mean I got the rooms." FP waves the keys up in the air.
"Who wants to go to the beach?" Gladys exclaims and the kids jump up in excitement.
They take off, leaving the three oldest people there.

"Who wants to start drinking?" FP asks.
"Me!" Ben and Alice say at the same time as they stand up.

They all make their way down to the beach. Gladys, Betty and Charles were all having fun as they played in the water. FP, Alice and Ben were all sitting in little beach chairs in the sand as they watched them, with drinks in hand.
Gladys emerged from the water, and started walking to them almost as if in slow motion. Her brown hair soaked, her small bikini barley covering anything made Ben's eyes pop out of his head.
"Okay, yeah. I would definitely create a fake family for that, oh my god she's hot." Ben let's out with a small laugh.
"You know what? You are disgusting." Alice rolls her eyes as she leans back in her chair.
"Mumsy, please do come in! The water is lovely." Betty smiles as she runs towards her mother.
"No honey, I'm good. I don't really feel like swimming right now. " Alice smiles at her daughter.
"What is this from my Hermie? Don't be intimidated by this whole thing she's got going right there." Ben says motioning to Gladys.
"Oh come on, like she's intimidated. I hope I look that good when I'm her age." Gladys exclaims truthfully.
She wasn't wrong. Gladys may be quite younger than Alice, but you wouldn't be able to tell. Alice didn't look a day over thirty.
"Well you can look that good! If you don't take the elevator and only take the stairs, like Cary Grant!" FP mimics Alice from their conversation a few weeks ago.
He could remember everything Alice told him. He'd never get tired of listening to her, even if her stories bored him to death, he always listened. Because it was Alice.

Alice bits her lip to stifle a grin as she shakes her head at him. FP always knew how to make her feel better, no matter what the situation was.
"I'm going to go look for some treats for everyone, Fred why don't you come with me?" FP announces and the kids squeal in excitement.
FP kisses Gladys cheek before him and Ben make their way to the stores that were only about five minutes away from the beach.
FP notices a jewelry store, and a few sparkly engagement rings catch his eye. He stops as he eyes them, looking for the perfect one.
"Hey, why did we stop here?" Ben confusingly asks.
"What's the matter? I can't look at engagement rings?" FP says, not tearing his eyes off of them.
"Engagement rings?" Ben's shocked expression doesn't go unnoticed by FP.
"Yeah, you heard what I said." FP scoffs before turning his attention back to the rings.
"Look all you want, but you and I both know that you're going to get tired of this hottie and you're going to be back in the game next week." Ben states as he follows FP to the next set of rings in another window.
"Nope, I'm telling you. Isn't this girl cute?"
"Yeah, she's really cute." Ben chuckles.
"Is she not the sweetest?"
"The nicest person I've ever met."
"Did you ever see her lips?"
"I think she has the best lips I've ever seen!" Ben states with a grin.
FP nods and chuckles as he turns his head back to the rings.
"You know, this whole situation reminds me of a song...
FP's a big plastic surgeon,
who never had time for a wife.
And he's friends with Benny
Who doesn't have a penny-"
"Piano man? Why piano man?" FP asks unamused at his song choice, and singing.
"Just because, man. It's based on your life, it's my own remix." Ben smirks.
"Really? Okay. Ahem.
Benny used to have an Afro,
And pimples all over his face.
So he popped and he poked em,
And clearasil soaked em,
But ladies still think he's a disgrace." FP sings, sticking his tongue out at the end and making a fart noise.
"You got me there." Ben rolls his eyes.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
