2. Car Rides and Hotel Greetings
Car 1
"Meister's not going to be Gakupo anymore according to Manager, Suwabara-san is going to be that him..." Tsukino trailed off as she put the walkie talkie down. "Kawachi-san? You're going to be Meiko now while Sophie takes on Teto."
Kawachi stared at her, bug-eyed. "You're kidding." He spoke quietly. "WHAT!?" He then shouted. "WHY DO I HAVE TO CROSSDRESS!?"
Tsukino shrugged. "It's not my fault, blame Manager." She muttered in response.
Since eleven people can't fit in one car (unless you got an RV, but that was kind of too expensive to rent), they had to use two cars to get to the hotel. If people needed to communicate with each other across cars, they could use the walkie talkies they had with them. This was how the car seating was arranged...
Car 1: Kawachi, Tsukino, Azuma, Mizuno, Monica, and Kuroyanagi (driver)
Car 2: Meister, Kai, Shachioko, Kanmuri, and Matsushiro (driver)
Car 2
"I have to be GAKUPO!?" Kai muttered under his breath. "Darn it, I'll have to wear a wig, and-"
"It's not that bad, Suwabara. At least you don't have to dye your hair like Meister and I have to." Kanmuri responded.
Shachioko glanced at Meister before asking Kanmuri, "How long has Meister been listening to his Ipod, anyway? Heck, how long is this car trip so far?"
"Meister has been listening to his Ipod since approximately two hours ago, and the car trip is three hours approximately so far." Kanmuri told him. He glanced at Meister as well. "And Meister's been occasionally singing aloud to the songs on his Ipod and is doing so now."
"Sorry, what?" Meister took out the earbuds and turned to face the other three. "If my singing annoys you, I can stop if you want. Sorry about it." He spoke quietly.
"Ah, no, it's okay..." Shachioko trailed off, but Meister already put his Ipod away. "How long do you think the car ride is going to be?"
Meister shrugged. "I'm guessing five hours approximately."
Shachioko sighed. "Why does everybody say 'approximately!?'" He muttered to himself.
Car 1
"At least Suwabara and I aren't in the same car..." Kawachi trailed off.
Car 2
"At least Baldy and I aren't in the same car..." Kai trailed off.
"I still find it confusing why you hate Kawachi-kun." Meister spoke. "Could you try to elaborate?"
Kai let out a 'hmph' before responding. "It's because he's the stupidest-"
Car 1
"Why do you not get along with Suwabara?" Azuma asked, curious.
"Kai is way too serious-" Kawachi started.
Car 2
"Idiot-"
Car 1
"And he's the craziest-"
Both Cars
"GUY I EVER MET IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE!" Both Kai and Kawachi finished.
Car 2
"..." Meister paused before speaking. "I'm not really sure if that helped..."
Car 1
"You didn't have to shout!" Azuma exclaimed, covering his ears with both hands.
Eventually, everyone made it to the hotel. They grabbed their luggage, and walked into the hotel lobby-
Only for Meister to get tackled by his sister as Pierrot leaped over to the others out of nowhere.
"Hey, brother, you finally made it!" Sophie greeted her older brother, who groaned in pain, gently pushed Sophie off him ('cause he's a gentleman and despite wanting to get Sophie off him, he doesn't want to forcefully shove her) and sat up. "What took you so long!?"
"Three words: Long car ride." Meister told her. Meanwhile, Pierrot was running around and greeting the other Pantasia people (using multiple copies of himself). "Did you hear from Matsushiro-san that you're going to be Teto instead of Meiko for the Vocaloid cosplay?"
"Oh, yeah, I did." Sophie responded, before grinning. "Though, it's going to be pretty fun seeing Kawachi-san dress up as Meiko. I wonder what the results will look like!"
Checking into their rooms and actually trying to get along with the roommates went something like this.
"Pierrot has one of the bedrooms already, so that means we have to..."
"Um...Share...A...Room..." (Meister and Kuroyanagi, Room 207)
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!" (Pierrot, Room 202) (Kai and Kawachi were fist fighting, and Pierrot just had to watch...)
"THAT CANDY MACHINE IS MINE!"
"NO, MINE!" (Monica and Mizuno, Room 206)
"This half of the part is mine. This half is yours, Manager. We do not violate each other's sides, and therefore not get into a fight like Kawachi-kun and Suwabara-kun are right now. Agreed?" (Kanmuri, Room 203)
"It's going to be awesome being roommates with you, Shachihatta!"
"IT'S SHACHIOKO!" (Azuma and Shachioko, Room 204)
"..."
"..."
"...Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too." (Sophie and Tsukino, Room 205)
