Crystal: This chapter is funny…
Other girls: Yea…
Kai: Maybe this out-numbering thing isn't the nicest thing anymore…
Rachel: Of course it is ^-^
Crystal: Rach loves this chapter…it's when she gets to poke Kai…
Rachel: Maybe I'll just start now…
Kai: BOTTOMLESS HILL *points and then hides behind bucket*
Rachel: YAY *jumps down bottomless hill*
Everyone else: -.-;
Crystal: Ok then…
DISCLAIMER: If anything in this story belonged to me, I would make it into a video game, but nothing does. The only thing here that belongs to me is the character Mickey. I also do not own the characters Alethia Black, Tami Delaney, Kai Rumiko, Rachel Saikei, Caylin, or Kitara. They own themselves.
Crystal: Oh, and the *cough*song*cough* is Do You Love Me? by…well…there are a lot of artists, so I'll put The Blues Brothers…
~*~*~
"Rachel, Caylin" Mickey said, gesturing the two into the room. Kai seemed to recover his shock, for he was by their sides in a minute.
"Well, hello there, my name is Kai, and I'm…ow!" Kai turned to see Alethia smiling slightly, whistling as if innocent.
"Hello, Rachel, Caylin, I'm Mickey. We wrote to each other" Mickey said, and the girls nodded. "These are your teammates, Kai Rumiko, Tami Delaney, Alethia Black, and Kitara. Everyone, this is Rachel Saikei and Caylin" Mickey said, introducing everyone. They all said 'hi' to each other, before Mickey went into explaining everything again.
When she was finished, Kai had fallen asleep with his head rolling about his shoulders, Alethia had started clicking a pen again and again, Kitara had found a softball somewhere and had began to throw it up and down, and Tami was chewing her hair in boredom.
Rachel had received a blue pencil with the kanji symbol for water in it. Her fan had silver colored wood, with blue silk with the water kanji on it. It had the power to call forth powers of water, and push them all together to form great bodies of water.
Caylin had received a sparkling white pencil, with the kanji sign for light on it. Her fan had deep red colored wood, with the white silk running over it. It was covered in the kanji sign for light as well. It had most of the same powers as Dark, but instead of sending things into total darkness, she could blind all the people for a long lasting period if touched by her light.
"Now that that's all done" Mickey said, standing. "Let me show you to your rooms" she said.
"And I'll assist you" Kai said, standing and walking over to her.
"Fine" Mickey sighed. "Girls, you may go back to your rooms or to the main rooms" Mickey said. "But please stay out of here. I don't expect the last five to be here for a while. Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and have a mission" Mickey said. The girls stood and followed her out of the room. Mickey locked the door, and walked off to the right with Kai and the new girls, while the other girls went to the left.
They stopped at the room next to Tami's, where a blue silver plaque read the name 'Rachel'. Inside, the walls were the watery blue, and the furniture matched the others. Rachel walked in, opening the closet and letting posters among posters fly out onto her walls. She stared for a moment, before sticking her head into the closet and pulling out a small, blue fox, its feet and tail tipped with black.
"Foxy" Rachel said, hugging the fox, and then starting to look around her room. They moved to the other room next to Rachel's, which had a very light blue silver plaque with the name 'Caylin' on it.
Caylin walked in, opening her closet and letting everything fly into place. She then looked in, smiling, and pulled back when a large, white tiger walked into the room. He glared for a minute at Kai, before turning its cool blue eyes on Caylin, and walking over to the bed. It jumped on, before going to sleep.
"Jozu" Caylin said to the tiger, before continuing going through her closet.
"Let's go" Mickey said, leading Kai away. They began to walk towards her room, but continued past it, and walked into a large white room full of couches. The floor seemed to sink in on steps, as the couches round around the steps, going down three levels.
Kitara was lying down on one of the couches, reading a thick book she said she had gotten from the library on board. She said that Tami had gone to check out the stores, while Alethia went to the kitchen to prepare everyone lunch.
"So, you've lived here for as long as you can remember?" Kai asked as Mickey sank into a couch on the bottom-most layer.
"That's right" Mickey said. "It's very tiring, running this place by myself. That's why I asked Gin, the person who looks after the worlds, if I could gather a team. Gin sends me and whomever on missions to set things straight in the world. It can get extremely boring after a while, and very dangerous" Mickey informed.
"Hello" a voice said as they jumped onto a couch. Kai and Mickey turned to see Rachel sitting with her head in her hands. She had on a short sleeved, cerulean blue shirt that showed her midriff. She had a matching cerulean skirt, just a shade darker. She was wearing thong, cerulean sandals, and many cerulean bracelets, matching the stone hanging from her neck. She had long black hair, dangling at her waist, and large, midnight blue eyes.
"Hi Rachel" Kitara said through her book. Rachel waved at her.
"So, what are you two up too?" Rachel asked, a mischievous look in her eyes. Mickey blushed slightly.
"Uh, nothing, uh, if you'll all excuse me" Mickey said, standing. She whirled her finger, and disappeared with a small pop, appearing once more walking down an unexplored hallway.
"Wonder what her element is?" Kai pondered out loud.
"Why don't you ask her?" Kitara suggested.
"I will when she gets back" Kai said.
"Hey Kai" Rachel said from behind him.
"What?" Kai asked. He felt a poke. "What was that?" Kai asked. Poke. "Stop that" Kai said. Poke. Kai turned. Poke. "OW!" Kai said. Rachel had poked him in the eye.
"Uh, wuh oh" Rachel said. She stood, scrambling over the topmost couch, as Kai jumped up and began to chase her. "Leave me alone" Rachel called, throwing things at him as she ran.
"But you blinded me!" Kai called.
"You don't look to be very much blinded since you're running" Rachel said, throwing a vase at him, which he dodged.
"What's going on here?" Mickey asked, her head peeking out of a door frame. They noticed they had ran down that hallway she had walked down.
"Rachel poked me in the eye" Kai said.
"Well, if he hadn't turned his head" Rachel said.
"Well if you hadn't been poking me!" Kai said back.
"Stop it, both of you" Mickey said.
"Rachel, go and help Alethia in the kitchen. According to your records, you're a very good cook. Kai, since you are so far the only guy on this ship, come with me" Mickey said. Rachel smiled, stuck her tongue out at Kai, and walked away. Mickey pulled Kai into the room she had been in, which was filled wall-to-wall with electronics.
"Where are we?" Kai asked.
"This is the control room" Mickey said. She twirled her finger. "Have a seat" she said, indicating to a chair that had appeared beside him.
"Oh, yea, I wanted to ask…" Kai began.
"What my power is?" Mickey said, looking at him.
"Uh, yea" Kai said.
"I can control the wind, and I've started to learn telepathy and telekinesis" Mickey said.
"Telepathy and telekinesis, huh? That must be cool" Kai said.
"Yes" Mickey said.
"So, what are you doing in here?" Kai asked.
"I'm just checking in with my boss" Mickey said. She hit a few buttons, and then stood.
"He's not in" Mickey said.
"Can we go then? I'm bored" Kai said. Mickey twirled her finger and the chair fell out from under him. "Oh, that was mean" Kai said.
"I thought it would prove as some entertainment" Mickey smiled, helping him up. They walked out of the room, and back into the room full of couches. Caylin was sitting there, humming a song and looking down at a flute in her lap. Her long, periwinkle hair, which had lavender woven in to it, was put into a French braid like Tami's, lying across her shoulder. She was dressed in an aqua tank, matching her eyes, with a long sleeve, white t-shirt underneath it. She had on a pair of black caprice, one of the legs folded up to mid-thigh. Her weapon, looking very much like a socket wrench, was attached by a band to the leg visible.
"Caylin" Mickey said, as if saying hello to the person. Caylin waved back without a thought, looking back down at her flute. Mickey clicked her fingers, down on the first indent of the room.
"What were you doing?" Kitara asked, looking up from the book she was reading.
"Oh, I wanted to see if anything was happening down on the planets" Mickey said.
"Is there?" Tami, who was sitting on the topmost level, re-braiding her hair, asked.
"No, but, it's only been a few hours" Mickey said. Kai fell onto the couch across from Mickey, letting his head fall backwards.
"I'm so bored" he said in a monotone voice.
"Then do something" Caylin said.
"Like what?" Kai asked.
"What do you like to do?" Caylin asked.
"Uh, flirt" Kai said, smiling. Caylin sighed.
"Anything else?" Caylin asked.
"Fight" Kai answered.
"How about talking?" Caylin suggested.
"Hey, I suggested flirting" Kai said, and all the girls around him let out very loud sighs. "What?" Kai asked, looking around.
"How about music?" Mickey said suddenly.
"Music's good, but I don't think any of us have CDs" Kai said.
"I do, but they're in my room" Kitara said.
"Don't worry" Mickey said, standing and walking over to a large sound system. There were piles upon piles of CDs, and Mickey took one out of a green case. She put it into the sound system, and music began to play.
"No, chick music" Kai said, though he wasn't heard over the music.
"Nope, oldies" Mickey laughed; she was standing on the top layer, with Tami and Caylin on one side of her, and Rachel and Kitara on the other. They all looked to Rachel as she began mouthing the first words. (A/N Uh, guys, you may not like this, but I had to put it in. It's funny, trust me.)
Rachel: You broke my heart
Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back
To let you know
I can really shake um down…
Then they all started dancing, and Kai just sat their covering his ears and trying to block it all out. Mickey, Rachel, and Caylin sang the first tunes while Kitara and Tami did back up.

All: WORK!
Kai, by this time, was on the floor, covering his ears, while the girls laughed at him.
"OH THE HORROR" He moaned, and this just caused the girls to laugh more.
"Food" Alethia said, appearing. The girls all left the room, while Kai stood up and followed out.
~*~*~
"I can't believe you guys did that without me" Alethia said as they all sat in the main room after they had eaten.
"It was pure torture, I tell you" Kai said, as Tami flung a pillow at his head, which missed. Suddenly, there was a loud ringing sound, and a letter fell into Mickey's lap.
"Looks like they gave us an assignment" Mickey said.
