Disclaimer: I do not own any of the HiHi Puffy Ami Yumi characters. Nor do I own Ramsley (he belongs to the Haunted Mansion movie.) But I do own the Last Night Hotel, so don't touch it! (Butfor those who Review my story, I'll be happy to rent you a room at half price.-)
"C'mon, Kaz, let's just stop at this hotel. And, unlike the last 22 hotels we've seen, the sign says this one has vacancy." Yumi said.
"Why are we looking for hotels, anyway? Why can't we sleep in the tour bus?" Ami questioned.
"Because Kaz flamethrowered – flamethrowed – argh! He burned everything to a crisp when he was chasing Teriyaki and Geng Kang, remember?"
"Oh, yeah…"
Kaz stopped the bus and they all piled out. Ami looked at the sign again.
"Last Night Hotel? That sounds kinda creepy."
"Well, it's the best we've found. C'mon, let's go check in." Yumi said.
The three of them walked into the dust-and-spiderweb-strewn lobby. Ami rang the service bell on the desk. For a moment, nothing happened. Then all three of them screamed in horror as a ghastly figure rose up from behind the desk.
"Can I help you?" he said in a dry, raspy voice.
"W-we'd like two rooms, please." Kaz stammered.
"Please follow me."
He led them up two flights of stairs and down a long hallway. He stopped at two doors.
"This will be the Puffy's room," he motioned to room 213.
"And this will be Kaz's room." The man opened the door across from it, room 207.
"I hope you will have a pleasant stay. My name is Ramsley. Just call if you need anything." The man grinned, making his taut, pale, thin-looking skin pull even tighter around his skull. Then he turned and descended the stairs with barely more than a whisper.
"Jeez, that guy's creepy. Good thing we'll only be staying here for one night." Ami said.
"Ditto. 'Night, Kaz."
"Goodnight, girls."
Yumi and Ami opened the door to their room, half hoping to find a luxury suite. Instead they got a rather small, dusty room with a bathroom, sink, and two twin beds. They sighed and got into bed.
"Well, it's better than nothing." Yumi stated.
Just as they got settled in, Ami asked:
"Yumi?"
"Hmm?"
"How'd that guy know our names?"
Well? I hope you enjoyed it! More is on the way, as soon as I get over this bout of Writer's Block... (Yes, I know it's short. and I know that in a normal hotel, rooms 207 and 213 wouldn't be across from each other.) Anyway...
Please R&R!
