Lift Buddies
Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognise.
"Fifth floor," announced the robotic voice of the lift. However, the lift doors did not open. The lights flickered on and off for a while, and finally, the lights came off.
"Oh, crap!" exclaimed Volkner, punching the lift doors in anger.
"Something wrong?" asked Flint reassuringly, leaning against the walls of the lift.
"Can't you see it!" snapped Volkner.
"Well, we're blind as a Zubat, when we're in the dark," stated Flint.
"It's really obvious! We're trapped in the lift and you're not helping at all!" shouted Volkner.
"Hey, calm down," said Flint. "Why don't you get out one of your Pokémon and get it to electrify the lift?"
"My Pokémon are at the Pokémon Center, and besides, we'll get electrocuted."
"I don't mind getting electrocuted; I've seen this boy on television get electrocuted several times by his Pikachu."
"This is reality, not some stupid cartoon."
"Pokémon isn't stupid!"
"That cartoon is named after Pokémon? Strange."
"It's perfectly normal, and there's nothing strange about it."
"Why are we discussing about the abnormalities of a television show, when we could be calling for help?"
"It's not abnormal; it's the best television show ever to exist on the face of the universe."
"I don't care what your brain thinks, and says, but do me a favour, and find the emergency call button, now."
"Okay," said Flint. Volkner heard a screeching sound, and after a while, there was a clinking noise.
"What are you doing?" enquired Volkner sceptically.
"Finding the button, just like you asked me," replied Flint casually. Flint handed something into Volkner's hand.
"What did you just hand me?" asked Volkner.
"The emergency call button."
"Ahhhh!" shrieked Volkner, panicking.
"What did I do wrong?" asked Flint.
"You idiot!" yelled Volkner, pointing an accusing finger at Flint.
"I'm not an idiot."
"I told you to find the button!"
"It's in your hand."
"Uh, yes, but I didn't tell you to take it out!"
"You have to be more specific, then."
"Specific or not, it's your fault we're stuck in here!"
"Forever?"
"For once, you read my mind."
"So, panic time?"
"Sure." Both of them screamed at the top of their lungs. It was louder than the loudest noise in the world. What is the loudest noise in the world? I don't know, but it must be either heavy metal music, at full blast, or a Jigglypuff singing into a microphone.
All of a sudden, the lights flickered back on and the doors opened.
"Yes, yes! Freedom!" They gleefully walked out of the lift, stretching their arms.
"How glad I am to be free," said Flint.
"Now, I better fix that emergency call button, and make sure no one can pull it out," said Volkner, pulling out his hand from his pocket. He looked at the emergency call button.
Volkner appeared shocked for a second, and it quickly transformed into anger. The emergency call button wasn't an emergency call button at all! In fact, it was the 'ten' button!
"You idiot," snarled Volkner, seething.
"Uh oh..."
Like it? Review! By the way, to the Pokémon anime fans, despite Volkner saying that Pokémon ( the tv show )is stupid, I don't mean any offence to you guys. He just hasn't watched the show yet. R&R!
