AN: This chapter sucks. Seriously... I was bored and uninspired... but I wanted to give y'all something since I miss you so much.

The Mafia Takes Madison

Chapter Two

"Hell yes! A revolving door!" this phrase followed by a collaborative squee was what shocked many Madison U students sitting on the capital building's lawn, along with several school teachers chaperoning Elsworth Elementary students to gape at the Purple Mafia. The third graders were set to chortling at the shouting of 'hell'. Bekki grabbed Lenni's wrist and Kat jumped up and down, the whole group moved towards the glass and metal spinning awesomeness. Kat managed to cram herself through with Seth and Kitty, while Erin, Beth, Helen, and Clare took another one of the doors quarter sections. Kari passed a camera to a still slack jawed Elsworth teacher and crammed into the remaining section with Bekki, Lenni and Ari.

"This is just like the telephone booth thing from ANTM cycle five!" declared the shippy queen.

"Except we all have clothes on," Seth said.

"We could change that," an eyebrow wiggling Ari teased, gaining a collective BOL.

"At the risk of being heavily fined and possibly put in a jail cell, I think not," Kitty stated matter of factly before saying, "Kat, you're standing on my foot."

"Heh... sorry Kitty. Tis cramped." The flash went off and the Mafia rotated into the building. Seth and Kitty both tripped over Kat, resulting in Kari accidentally kicking Seth in the shin.

"Mass Bella moment!" Kat trilled as Erin snapped a picture while laughing.

"Figures what with all the klutzes we have," Bekki said, helping Kitty up off the marble floor, who in turn helped Seth while Kari apologized for any possible bruising of his leg.

"Excuse me, are you here for a tour?" asked a sharp dressed young man with a clip board.

"Yup!" said Kari with a cheery smile, just as the Elsworth group poured into the building. "How about we trail behind with this tour?" she asked taking her camera back from the teacher with a thank you.

"We're looking around an old building... with a bunch of ankle biters?" Bekki questioned skeptically. "How perfect."

"Alright then." The guide turned to the mass of the group and smiled. "Welcome to Madison! Are you all having fun?" The children, and Kat responded with a big cheery 'YES' while the rest of the Mafia laughed. "Now, you'll see that we are standing beneath the dome of the building. See the painting on the ceiling? It's called 'Resources of Wisconsin' and was painted up there by Edwin Blashfield." While the guide rambled on Kari took out a cats cradle and started playing it with one of the third graders and Seth. When the time came for questions, all the third graders became sheepish. Only the teachers and Kitty asked any questions.

The 'ankle biters' and their crowd moved forward as the tour guide rambled on about there being fossils in the marble and granite walls and floors, and the golden gilded bits of the halls they walked through. After touring one of the court rooms and discussing the building, burning, and rebuilding of the capitol some kid screamed bloody murder after seeing a spider. This caused the tour to be disrupted because several of the small girls ran away from the group. To top it off, Clare received a call on her cell phone and upon answering it she squeed with delight for some reason and said they had to go outside for a surprise.

"Um... well, gift shop anyone?" asked the tour guide. The only things the gift shop sold were little plaster models of the state building and post cards.

"Sorry that was so lame... it seems more fun when you're in 4th grade," Kari apologized to her friends as they spun out of the capitol through the revolving door.

"Twas ok Karikinz," said Seth, scruffling her hair.

"Some of it was interesting," Kitty added.

"I found a fossil when I zoned out during the tour," Desi said.

"Hey guys!" called a voice from the right along with the sound of a skateboard. The mass of sexy turned and saw two more of their members who were slightly late to gather. Aubrey rolled smoothly over to meet them, and Patrick skipped along behind. "My 'rents just dropped me off."

"I caught a bus here from the air port... the buses here are ghostly quiet... you could step out in front of one and get hit..." Pat said, making a shifty eyed face, implying that she'd almost done as such.

"MONGOOSE!" Seth shouted and he proceeded to hug Aubrey. "I'm so happy you could come! Now I'm not the only man!" Every one laughed and Aubrey looked slightly stunned by the immediate man hug, but still in good spirits.

"Awwww! Group huggle!" declared Helen and on cue the group huggle commenced causing passer-bys to go 'awwwww'.

"Glad you made it, Pat. You too Aubz," Erin said.

"Awwww. Erin and Aubz!" said Clare. "Wouldn't it be sweet if this turned out like-"

"No. Not happening," Erin interrupted very bluntly.

"I'm starving!" Lenni said. "When are we eating?"

"Well, state street is ahead of us... we can go now." Kari pointed into the distance.

"Here's a map, it has all the restaurants." Kitty held out a brochure. "We could eat Afgan, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, or at a deli. Or... some of you could get a burger if you wanted."

"Well... how about Noodles and Co.? They're tasty. They have any pasta or noodle dish you can think of and salads," suggested Kari. "We could split up... but I don't really want us to."

"I'm fine with noodles," Bekki said.

"If it's edible, count me in," Desi added.

"Let's just go already before my stomach eats itself." Lenni grabbed the map and rushed ahead of the Mafia, leaving them no choice but to follow.


AN: The next chapter will be loads betterer, because I'm gonna drag you all to this awesome hard core hippie like shop where they have too many Buddah statues, lots of yoga stuff, bangles, sandals, Beatles/John Lennon, Obama, and lots of other awesome stuffs. They honestly have cardboard cut outs of Obama there. And 'Reading is Sexy' buttons. Not to mention a fun surprise that Clare is gonna want to fuel her M fanfics. Which I'm only adding because I'm trying to steer away from the shippage that the other fics have, and make it more realistic.
