Disclaimer: I do not own the Kane Chronicles.
Me: Hello, everyone. I decided to update this story earlier than I originally planned because of all of those reviews that this fanfic received. I won't be using all of them now, only some of them. Currently, the story is in third person, but there will be a single point of view in one part.
Sadie: And so on and so forth. I'll be sleeping, so… Wake me up when you're finished talking.
Carter: Sadie, stop being impolite to the fanfic author! The author is trying to speak!
Sadie: But it's all boring and stuff!
Carter: As boring as it may be-
Me: Oh, shut up. You're even worse off than me, Carter Kane.
Sadie: Zzz…
Me: Seriously? That last statement by me was barely long! Anyway, I'm also going to use a new system. Every time I get ten reviews/suggestions, I'll update a chapter. If I don't update the chapter on that day, I'll update the day after or a few days after that.
Sadie: Huh? Are you done yet?
Carter: Yes, the author is done.
Me: On with the story!
Sadie: Whoop-de-doo…
Sadie was silent, when her mouth opened and the words spilled out. "Anubis, you are extremely cute because of your dreamy chocolate brown eyes that make me melt and that sarcastic half-smile of yours is just adorable just because it is and-"
"And? There's even more?" asked Anubis raising an eyebrow.
"I think I've said enough," said Sadie, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
Everybody except Anubis were just standing there slack-jawed in silence at Sadie's description.
"Lady Kane?" asked Anubis softly, him blushing as much as Sadie.
"What?" Sadie asked Anubis, staring at the floor attempting to hide her embarrassment.
"I believe it's your turn."
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Sadie, forgetting her embarrassment. "Err… Carter?"
"What do you want?"
"Can I have revenge?"
"No."
"Darn it. Oh well… Carter! Truth or dare?"
"Err… dare."
"I dare you to dare Set to-"
"Sadie, I think there should be another rule – you can't dare somebody to dare somebody else."
Everybody agreed with Carter's rule except Sadie.
"That's bloody unfair!" said Sadie, pouting.
"Yeah, well, whatever," said Carter.
"So anyway, Carter, I dare you to wear one of Set's disco suits while dancing to Freak Out.
"Um… please tell me you didn't say that."
"Oh, but I did."
"This isn't happening."
"Oh, but it is."
"If I could just get out of this dare…"
"Oh, but you won't."
"If people don't laugh-"
"Oh, but they will."
"Fine, I'll do it."
"Oh, yes you will."
"Could you stop doing that?"
"Oh, I will."
"Seriously."
"Fine, whatever."
"Thank you."
"You are completely welcome."
Carter asked Set if he could borrow some of his disco suits. Set refused at first, not wanting to lose even one of his many suits, but he soon gave in and let Carter use his suit.
Carter put on the suit. It was huge on him, and he kept on tripping because Set's pants were so long.
Everybody broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
"I should've gone to the dark side," Carter mumbled. "They have fresh cookies." (A/N: That belongs to nigahiga.)
Set, having a huge collection of music and a bunch of other random stuff, took out a Pokémon CD.
"Ah, here it is."
"What the – that's not even Freak Out! I thought you had every single song in the whole world!" shouted Sadie angrily.
"Sorry, I don't have every song."
"But you have Pokémon."
"Yeah, well… Just don't worry! It'll be good!"
"It better be."
"Let's do the Season 1 theme."
"I guess it's better than nothing."
Sadie retrieved a boom box from the Duat, and Set inserted the CD inside the boom box. Sadie pressed play, and the music began playing.
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
Carter pointed to himself as if saying, I wanna be the best. Not you. Me. He pointed at other random magicians/gods/god hosts/shabti/etc. and gave them looks like, You're not the best. You never will be.
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
Carter grabbed hold of Doughboy and set him in front of himself. He pulled a toy Pokéball out of the Duat and threw it at Doughboy. The Pokéball opened and closed on Doughboy.
"Let me out, you vile fiend!" said Doughboy. "I command you to!"
Carter then took Doughboy out of the Pokéball and began to "train" him. He rapped Doughboy on the back with his khopesh and looked at him with a stare clearly saying, Use Flamethrower, you useless Ditto wannabe.
"Ow, jeez! Clay figures have feelings too, ya know!" shouted Doughboy quite angrily.
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Carter looked all across the Twenty-First Nome. Entirely. In just 2 seconds. Sadie gave Carter a look which meant, Why must you embarrass me?
These Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside
Carter just stared at a misshapen lump of Doughboy and just thought, What power inside. It seems as if there isn't any.
It's you and me
Carter brought Sadie up. Sadie shot Carter a glare. I hate you. Why me?
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon! Oh, you're my best friend
Carter started to aggressively hug Sadie, giving her noogies as the song went on.
In a world we must defend
Pokémon! A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
Sadie stifled a laugh and thought, Maybe I do. You certainly don't.
You teach me and I teach you
Pokémon! Gotta catch 'em all
Pokémon!
(A/N Sorry to the reviewer who suggested the Freak Out. My cousin told me to do Pokémon instead. I did that because she has pneumonia, so I just did what she requested. I'll do that other dare in Chapter 3. Oh yeah, I don't own Pokemon. I'm only saying. If that was horrible, don't blame me. It was my first time using a song in a fanfic.)
Everybody was staring wide-eyed at Carter's "dancing". They laughed. No, that was an understatement. They laughed so hard, the sound broke all of the windows of the Twenty-First Nome. Yes, every single window. Anubis, the loudest laugher, fainted.
"Can't… *gasp* breathe… Haha… Hehe… *gag* Ha… *thud*."
"Oh no! Anubis! My little doggy! Are you all right? Answer me! Please be all right!" said Sadie worriedly, hugging Anubis.
"Lady Kane?" Anubis' said, who quickly recovered from fainting.
"WHY? WHY – wait, what?"
"Um…"
"You're alive! YAY!"
That's when Sadie realized she was on top of Anubis. She reluctantly pulled away, and saw Anubis laughing.
"It isn't funny, you blithering idiot!" said Sadie angrily.
"Then care to tell me why that just happened, Lady Kane?"
"My instincts took over!"
"I see. Your instincts are to take care of the cute little doggie. In other words, me."
"Y-you're not cute!"
"Yet you called me cute in your truth. The Feather of Truth didn't burn you to ashes. Enough said."
"Fine, you win."
Anubis was pleased to know that he had it the way he wanted it.
After Anubis and Sadie's long conversation, everybody else lightly laughed, feeling the aftereffects of Carter's ridiculousness.
"Hey, I just tried to make it as realistic as possible!"
"Yeah…" Sadie said, fuming, still angry at Carter for embarrassing her.
"Calm down, sis."
"You're telling me to calm down."
"Um…"
"What in the world is wrong with you!"
"Um…"
"Really? Is that all you can say?"
"Um…"
"Guys! Just calm down! It's Carter's turn," Horus piped up.
"Fine…" said Sadie.
"Okay, I got it. Anubis! Truth or dare!"
"Truth."
"I have a good truth."
"Really. Is that so?"
"Yes, it is so, jackal boy."
"And the truth is?"
"What exactly did you and Sadie do while we weren't watching?"
"Um…"
"Oh, I forgot something!"
"What did you forget?"
Carter took out the Feather of Truth out of nowhere, and said, "This will make sure you're telling the truth."
"Y-you can't do that!"
"That's exactly what you did to Sadie, so if I were you, I would be quiet."
"Fine. I'll tell it from the beginning. It was a perfectly gloomy day in the Underworld, when Sadie called me and-"
"Just say what happened after you and Sadie went out of the room."
"What happened after you and Sadie went out of the room."
"ARGH! Stop stalling and say the dumb truth already!"
"Fine, so you and the others found us and then we began Truth or Dare."
Carter face palmed himself.
Sadie then said to Anubis, "Just say the truth."
"Fine, but only because Sadie insisted on it."
"Okay, we're ready."
Anubis had a flashback lasting a few seconds, although it seemed more.
Flashback Start

I found Sadie torturing a Sekhmet action figure.
"Hulk Smash!" Sadie shouted as she grabbed a sledgehammer from the Duat.
I closed my eyes and heard a crunching noise. I opened my eyes and I saw Sadie waving the sledgehammer around saying, "See how you like being the victim, huh Sekhmet?"
"Um, Sadie?"
"SADIE PAWNCH!"
The last thing I saw before I was knocked out cold was Sadie's fist coming in contact with my face.
I woke up a few seconds later wondering what in the world just happened. I saw Sadie silently weeping over me. She realized I was alive and okay.
"Anubis! You're alive! ALIVE!"
I sat up groggily. "Yes, Lady Kane, I am, surprisingly."
Then the strangest thing happened. She started planting kisses all over my face.
"I'm so happy you're alive! I'm so sorry! I thought you were Sekhmet."
"I'm a jackal, not a lion, Lady Kane."
"Sorry. Anyway…"
"Apology accepted."
"I'm also happy for another reason – I KISSED ANUBIS! I kissed a god! I kissed the boy of my dreams!"
Sadie had completely lost it. I just picked her up, sat down, and put her on my lap. She smiled even more. Then Carter and everybody else came and found us. Very embarrassing, actually.
Flashback End
(A/N This was also my first flashback. Don't rate me too harshly on it, I only tried it once.)
Anubis described everything from his flashback, from beginning to end.
"I knew my daughter was a bit crazy, but I never knew she was this crazy," mused Julius. Even Ruby had to agree with him.
Anubis sat down, blushing. Sadie did the same.
"Did you have to give every single detail?" asked Sadie, annoyed.
"Yes, Lady Kane." answered Anubis.
"Call me Sadie."
"Because?"
"Lady Kane sounds boring now. Can you just tell me why you had to give every single detail?"
"Okay, Sadie Kane. I was holding the Feather of Truth."
"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
"You guess?"
"Pretty much."
"No. It either makes sense or it doesn't."
"Fine, it does make sense. A lot of sense."
"Now you see it my way," Anubis smiled that half-smile of his, causing Sadie to blush fiercely.
Everybody was silent for a long time, when Anubis said, "Well, it's my turn, so Sekhmet, truth or dare?"
Sekhmet replied, "Grr… how dare you choose me… I SHALL FEAST ON YOUR BLOOD!"
"Be quiet, cat."
Sekhmet did as she was told when the craziest thing happened.
With a deafening CRASH!, someone came tumbling through the ceiling, landing on the ground on their feet.
That someone was none other than Zia Rashid.
Me: So what did you think? I added Zia, as stated previously.
Sadie: Carter, look! Your girlfriend's gonna be in the story now!
Carter: Sadie, don't get me angry.
Sadie: But I will.
Sekhmet: You've got me angry, Sadie Kane, so I shall feast on your blood!
Carter: You better not! Even though she's annoying, she's my sister and I'll protect her at any cost!
Sekhmet: Grr... I shall feast on your blood too, Carter Kane.
Me: Guys, stop fighting. Keep the reviews and suggestions coming! Prince of PWNage, signing out!
