D.D.Z. - Wahoo! I'm back! And I got some reviews! I'm so happy!

Lloyd- You don't even have ten reviews! And you have about 20 times more hits then reviews!

D.D.Z. - Why're you being so negative?

Lloyd - Because you're making me look so dumb!

D.D.Z. - But I just took one of your qualities and emphasized on it!

Lloyd - Than-HEY!

D.D.Z. - #big grin#

Yuan - Who're you?

D.D.Z. - Kaze! Dontcha remember?

Yuan - Then why does it say 'D.D.Z.' right there? #points at the name, 'D.D.Z.'#

D.D.Z. - Um...

Kaze - There! I fixed it!

Yuan- But what was D.D-

Kaze - Never mind that! It's time to answer reviews!

Midnight Eclipse713- I think you'll like this! And lookie! Another Mithos fan!

Mithos - WHAT? ANOTHER?

Kaze - Yup:)

Eum...I be Genis-FEAR ME!- It is weird, isn't it? And be very afraid! #evil laugh# And I'll start to read more carefully so I can catch those minor mistakes. Haha, more Genis, eh? Well, okay! But I'm not so sure about the shounen-ai...I don't think I could write that...#grins# Well, not yet...

Genis - #looks uneasy# What're you planning?

Kaze - Well, nothing like that for this story. Maybe my next one...I'll probably end up doing one eventually.

Lloyd - I think this is the part where we run away...

Kaze - No! Not yet at least! I've still got two more reviews to answer!

Origins89- Heh, you're the second person to say my fic is weird. But I'm taking that as a compliment, since this is a humor fic! XD Hmmm, and now that you mention it, it is kinda weird for Kratos having to fight for something, isn't it? Glad you like it though:D

Vocalsama- Haha, cliffhangers are evil, ne? Hehe, you can't beat a crazy, psychopathic Yuan! Well, I'll let you see what's behind the door. Just keep reading, and you'll find out! And I won't quit until this fic is done! Then I'll move on to making a different fic...XD But that would be cool, wouldn't' it? If they made ToS plushies. Oh look, Mithos has a present for you...

Mithos - A plushie of me! #hands Vocalsama a Mithos plushie# Enjoy!

Kratos - How many of those do you have?

Mithos - Plenty! Want one? #gives a plushie of himself to Kratos#

Kratos - "..."

Kaze - Okay, DISCLAIMER TIME!

Lloyd, Genis, Yuan, Kratos, and Mithos - NOOOOOOO!

Kaze - How 'bout you, Genis? You're gonna be in the story more anyways!

Genis - Fine. Kaze doesn't own ToS, Namco does.

Mithos - Okay, grab a soda, enjoy the story, and FEAR ME!

ToS: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

by D.D.Z.

Everybody gasped as they saw what was in the room. There was a huge black box in the corner, sitting on what looked like a table. There were some wires coming out of it, and they connected to a small purple box that also had four wires coming out of it. They were connected to some strange purple object. Everybody then turned their attention to where the lights were coming from. There were two platforms, and each seemed to have some kinda screen attached to it. On the each of the platforms were arrows on both sides of each platform. They were up, down, right and left. On the screen, arrows were going up in different orders and a man's voice seemed to be yelling things from it. Some buttons were just below the screen.

Kaze - Come on! Guess what it is!

Kratos - Continue the story.

Kaze - Fine, fine...

"Woah! What is this place!" Sheena exclaimed, shocked.

"I've never seen anything like this..." Raine muttered. 'I simply must take it all apart!'

Genis looked at his sister, then grabbed her by the arms as she started to run to the machines that were on already.

"No! Don't take it apart Raine!"

"But I must! For the sake of researching!"

"You can research it later!"

"Nooooooooooo!" Raine yelled as Regal helped Genis drag her a safe distance away from the machines.

Lloyd looked on at this, sweatdropped, then turned toward the machines, where Yuan was proceeding to poke them with a stick. Where did he get the stick when he's stuck inside of an inn? Nobody knows...

"I don't think it's alive Yuan..."

Genis looked shocked. "You think!"

"Haha very funny..."

"After being tricked by a voice that comes out of nowhere, I'm not taking any chances..." said Yuan.

Then, as he continued to poke the machine with the stick, he accidentally hit one of the buttons that was on the machine. Now, about that heart attack he was going to have earlier...I think he just had it as the man's voice in the machine yelled-

"DDR MAX! TWO!"

Yuan yelled and fell to the floor, unmoving. Zelos grabbed the stick Yuan was using and poked him. Shrugging when Yuan only moved a little, he walked over to the other machine, where Colette was investigating it, and pressed the same button Yuan had pushed earlier.

"DDR MAX!" The man yelled.

Colette yelped in fright, and tripped, hitting the arrows on the platform. The screen changed to a blue color for a second, the word 'WARNING' in big letters, with some words underneath. Then it went to a different screen.

"SELECT DIFFICULTY"

Everybody (except for Yuan, who was still on the floor, in shock) crowded around the machine, and 'ohhed' and 'awed.'

"Wow Colette! You changed the screen somehow!" Genis exclaimed, jumping up into the air.

"Oh, please let me investigate it..." Raine whined, tied in a rope that Genis and Regal had found on the ground (Yes! No one can beat my rhyming skills!).

"You promise not to take it apart?" Genis asked.

"Fine, yes."

"All right then!" Genis said happily, untying Raine, who immediately went to the machine Colette had been at.

"It seems...that it's some kind of game..."

"A game?" Lloyd asked, tilting his head. "Like tag or something?"

"No, it doesn't look like it...hmm..."

Meanwhile, Lloyd got bored with the new machine and went to the big black box. He banged on the top of it a few times, then stared at it. He might've spent the rest of his life staring at it if Sheena hadn't come over, along with Zelos and a newly recovered Yuan.

"Lloyd, I don't think staring at it is going to do anything." Sheena said.

"Quiet, I'm winning!" Lloyd said.

"What?"

Zelos sweatdropped as he realized what Lloyd meant. "You're not having a staring contest with that box, are you?"

"Yes, and I'm winning!"

"Lloyd, that things never going to blink." Sheena said, sighing.

"Yes, it will!" Lloyd replied, but his eyes were starting to burn.

"You're gonna lose."

"No I won't!"

Zelos leaned toward Yuan. "My gald's on the box."

"You never know. Lloyd might win." Yuan said.

#sweatdrop# "Uh, Yuan? I think you fell a little too hard..."

"NOOOOOOOO!" a voice screamed.

Everybody turned to the source of the scream.

"NOOOO! I LOST!" Lloyd wailed.

Kratos came up to his son. "It's just a box...I don't think you were gonna win anyways..."

"Nooo! Stupid box!" Lloyd sobbed as he punched the box.

Suddenly, a bright light came from the box.

Lloyd - That was completely random, off of the story line, stupid, and pointless.

Kaze - No it wasn't! It's a setup for the next chapter. Here's a preview;

Kratos glared at Mithos as he glared back. Both got into their own stances on the arrows as the man said: "ARE YOU READY? GO!"

Kaze - That's right! A dance-off in DDR between Kratos and Mithos, while the group at the 'big black box' learns a disturbing secret...or do they?

Kratos - Hmph. Everybody knows that I'm going to win this strange game.

Mithos - Says who? It was boring at Cruxis sometimes, so I did stuff to pass the time!

Kratos, Lloyd, and Kaze - #sweatdrop# You mean you danced while you were still at Cruxis? With who?

Mithos - Uh...bye! #flies off#

Kaze - Um...well, the next chapter will be coming hopefully before school starts...uh, please review! They give me inspiration to keep on writing!...Er...typing! And hopefully, everybody knows what the 'big black box' is and the 'little purple box' are...and if you don't, you'll find out next chapter! And sorry that this was such a short one! Ciao!
