Chapter 7
Yffum: Update Tuesday, complete promise! Just say the disclaimer!!
Carnivine: (Stands in line at a store). Yes, I'll have a salad and a vanilla milkshake.
Yffum: Hey Carnivine?
Carnivine: Yes?
Yffum: If you're a plant and you're eating plants wouldn't that make you a cannibal?
Carnivine: (Starts running out the door). You own nothing but the fic!
Day seven. Life's been… adequate… sorta. What's happened? Well, four days passed. Otherwise, nothing much. They trudged through the desert slowly, trying to keep a good pace. They were in Sudan. Africa wasn't the best place for recourses; there was barely any water at all! There weren't many villagers with supplies to help them. Paras struggled heavily. He wasn't used to all this traveling and stuff. He could barely keep up. The quadrant started to find small huts and happily realized they were entering another town, which means more recourses! Hurray! They started to see another poster and that didn't mean good news last poster. They checked this one again to see if it was going to be any trouble. Fortunately this one looked completely harmless.
CHATOT'S MOVIE
MAKE A MOVIE SHOT FOR ME AND GET A PLANE PASS FOR FIVE ON ANY PLANE RIDE!
And even more fortunately it was convenient. That meant there was probably an airport in this town! Everyone was in a rush to talk about it, but Dusknoir shushed them.
"Look, we'll shop around and spend our last bit of money on food and supplies and then tonight we will talk about ideas for a movie shoot, but if we get an idea that we think this chatot will like we will spend no more than three days working on it. We're ahead of schedule, but we can't waste so much time that if it doesn't work out or he doesn't like it that we won't have time to save Magmar. Magmar gulped at the risk he knew they were taking if they planned on making a movie shot.
Later that day, as Dusknoir had told them they went shopping for food and supplies and rested in comfort for the first time in a long while. They discussed movie clips most of the time thinking of famous ones and ideas they could make related to those. The biggest debate was the genre of the movie. Comedy, drama, romance and many others were argued over, but comedy seemed like the best one to do. Easiest? That's what kept the discussion going. It's easy to laugh at a joke you and your friends made but whether or not others will like it remains unanswered. Magmar smiled as he slept and so did Electabuzz, knowing his friend was happy even though he was about a week away from death unless they found a rare jackfruit located in India. Now that he thought about Magmar was being really optimistic. Plus if this movie thing kicked off they could have a jackfruit in no time! Wow, optimism is contagious!
Electabuzz gave a nice loud yawn. It's movie time! He got up and found Paras trying to debate with Magmar on what the movie should be about, but Magmar was obviously winning since Paras was shy about it. Dusknoir snored loudly and stirred slowly as he heard the sounds of Electabuzz moving.
"Guys, we can't keep fighting, we have to do an easy to make shoot that is still good and since none of us are any good at jokes it's not going to be a comedy, Magmar." Electabuzz broke in.
"Well if you're so intellectual Electabuzz then why don't you suggest a good movie genre." Magmar pouted back, angry at Electabuzz for getting him down on such a feel-good day.
"Well how about action?" Paras muttered.
Electabuzz raised an eyebrow. "He does have a point."
"An action sounds like it would be fun, what do you think Dusknoir?"
"No get away! You fowl ghost-eating humans! I have the ability to use shadow ba – no! Not the plunger, anything but the plunger, I'm begging you!" Dusknoir cried out in his sleep.
"I'll take that as a yes!" Paras cheered. Magmar stared at Paras. "What?"
"I asked the question!" Magmar said angrily
"Well if you were going to close the funny joke why didn't you do it before? It's all about timing, if you did any later than that it wouldn't be funny."
"Yeah, but it doesn't make sense if the person that didn't answer the question ends the joke."
"Why not?"
"'Cause, 'cause… it just doesn't!"
"Oh yeah, well you wanted to do a comedy!"
"Well it's not my fault you can't make a joke!
"Nor can you!"
"Well you're a big idio-"
"Guys!" Electabuzz interrupted, "Will you stop fighting? Paras, I'm glad you're finally talking a bit and Magmar, I'm glad you're getting back to your old hotheaded self, but you have to let go of something this stupid. Especially if we have to make a movie together."
"Hey did you call me hothe-"
"Oh shut up."
Eventually Dusknoir got up and they discussed how they were going to begin making a movie.
"Well if you guys can't think of an idea maybe you should go someplace that will inspire you." Dusknoir suggested. Everyone thought about it for a while.
"Hey, I have an idea." Electabuzz said. "How about we go around town looking for a good place to film an action shoot, and when we've found one it may spark some ideas!"
"Good thinking, Electabuzz." Dusknoir complimented. "Now, each of you grab your bags and we'll start sight-seeing.
Right when they started to walk Electabuzz couldn't help but say, "You know I had the weirdest dream. It was about humans eating pokemon, isn't that strange?"
Magmar caught on and grinned. "So did I, strange, huh?"
"Yeah, me too!" Paras laughed.
"Really, that's odd." Dusknoir responded. "I have no recollection of the past night's dreams.
I know, I know, short, but to make up for it there's another tomorrow and possibly again this week.
