Hey everyone, and welcome back to another exciting installment of KMTT…there, that's a nice way to shorten the title…yay.
Disclaimer: You know the drill…
DA and I would like to thank HEKTE (Thanks. DA's the one who came up with the concept with the toilet scene. We love harassing Galahad.), Skay (DA is a total anime fan…I'm working on it…I've been a lot deprived in life…And I'll be sure to add Tristan and Isolde to the list of movies I should watch before I die. Thanks for the prayers! They really do help.) Remember to Feel Real (I (TRO) used to be addicted to Good Eats, so we had to put in a reference. Thanks!), Readerfreak10 (Thanks!), Lithiel (Lancelot's having some problems for sure….you'll see his request this chapter, and the 'why' will come around in the beginning of Day 6.), and Dark Wolf666 (Thanks!) for leaving such encouraging reviews.
In this chapter, Gawain is going to annoy Katie a lot, and she is also going to learn how hard it is to share a room with three other people. And Lancelot is going to be desperate for something very…odd.
Now, about Lancelot's little request, if you're as big a fan of the movie as me and DA are, you'll understand this. If you don't get it, we suggest looking at to understand it. We hope you think it's as funny as we do.
Happy reading!
The next morning, bright and early, Katie rolled over in her bed, sleepily pushing the blankets off her face, and was greeted with the sight of a pair of sock covered feet next to her pillow.
'Huh?...oh, it's just Jen…it's too damn early for this.' She thought, pulling the covers back over her head, hoping for a few more hours of sleep.
Katie was on her way to drifting off to sleep when she was brought back to moderate wakefulness by the sounds of the TV coming from the living room.
'Ugh, it's like my brother on weekends…times seven.' Katie thought sleepily, remembering all the Saturday mornings where she would have to drag herself out of bed out of bed before seven a.m. to make her little brother turn down the TV.
With a resigned sigh, Katie pushed the blankets off her face again, reached for one of her sweatshirts that was balled up between her pillow and headboard, and slipped it tiredly over her head. Slipping on a pair of socks as well, Katie quietly padded out of her room, sidestepping Lancelot and Tristan's beds, and nearly tripping over the many different pairs of shoes that were littered across the floor.
She padded down the hall, fully intending to snatch the remote away from whoever was holding it, turning down the TV, and going back to bed.
But it seemed that the gods who were up this early required some form of entertainment, so when Katie walked into the living room, she was greeted with the VERY unwelcome sight of Gawain and Dagonet watching the 'adult programming' previews. Katie's right eye twitched.
"WHAT IN THE SEVEN, EIGHT, AND NINE HELLS ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" She yelled, waking everyone in the house, and probably everyone else within a five mile radius.
Startled, Gawain and Dagonet jumped up to see Katie standing there, seething, and they could have sworn they saw her eyes glow red.
"Uh…we were…uh…" Gawain trailed off.
"Being idiots?" Katie supplied, "Didn't I say to never, EVER touch the PPV button?"
Dagonet looked very sheepish, "Gawain did it." He stated.
Gawain glared at him, "Thanks brother."
Katie tried to take a few claming deep breaths, "There is a reason I say things. Set ground rules. Tell you NOT to order pornography! THIS IS WHY!"
"Because you get very angry and your eyes turn red?" Dagonet asked.
"Exactly!"
"Would you feel better if we offered to make breakfast and promise never to touch that button again?" Gawain asked, hoping the irate teen wouldn't kill him…he didn't want to be the only knight who couldn't finish his service because he was killed by an irate teen from the future.
His ancestors would never let him live it down.
Katie considered the offer for a moment, "It'll do," She answered, calming down considerably, "Now, you're going to turn on the Wednesday morning cartoons, on very low volume, and I'm going back to bed. Understand?"
"Of course Katie." They replied as Katie walked back to her room.
On her way she walked past a confused and sleepy Arthur who she just waved back to bed before going to her room, where Lancelot and Tristan were looking at her curiously, while Jenny continued snoring away under the covers.
"Everything alright?" Tristan inquired.
Katie grunted, took off her sweatshirt and socks and got back under the covers, "I'm going to bed. Wake me up again and die." She said before turning off the light, pulling her pillow over head and burying herself under the covers.
"Hey Dag, Gawain," Jenny greeted as she walked into the kitchen two and a half hours later, "You're both looking particularly skittish this morning. What happened?"
The two knights looked at her incredulously, "You mean you did not hear Katie?" Gawain asked.
Jenny shook her head in response, taking a seat on one of the stools at the island, "What'd she say?"
Dagonet and Gawain stared at her, "You mean you did not hear Katie's outburst when she saw us watching the Pay-Per-View previews?" Dagonet wondered.
"You did? Not smart."
"But you did not hear her yelling?" Gawain asked.
"Nope."
"But she woke everyone in the house."
"I'm kinda a heavy sleeper," She replied before seeing the boxes of cereal and cartons of milk that were sitting on the countertop, "What are you two doing anyway?"
"Katie said we would be forgiven if we made breakfast for everyone." Gawain answered.
"Cool. Pass the Cinnamon Toast Crunch."
Gawain and Dag just looked at her oddly.
"That box with the white haired chef looking guy with bifocals whose holding a tray of toast with cereal flying out of it." Jenny replied, pointing to said box.
"Good morning everyone!" Katie chirped happily as she made her way into the kitchen for breakfast a short time later, taking a seat a the island between Jenny and Bors.
"Umm...good morning." Dagonet replied cautiously, Katie was just too happy for someone who was so angry earlier.
Katie looked at Dag curiously, "Why are you so skittish?"
"…Because of what happened this morning?" Gawain said, wondering why Katie was so happy as well.
Katie looked at them confusedly, "What happened?"
"You mean you don't remember coming in and yelling at us for pressing the Pay-Per-View button?" Dagonet asked, confused.
"I did?"
"Yes," Gawain answered, "You yelled very loudly, waking everyone in the house except for Jenny, and your eyes turned red."
Katie looked at her friend who was listening to the conversation while eating her cereal, "Did I?"
Jenny shrugged, "According to them you did. I slept through it I guess."
"You really don't remember?" Arthur asked, worrying more and more about his hostess' sanity by the moment.
"Nope."
Jenny laughed a little, "That's very InuYasha going full-demon of you."
Katie laughed as well, "I guess it is," She said, before noticing the wide array of cereals on the island, "Yay breakfast! Who set this all up?"
Everyone looked at her strangely, sans Jenny, "Apparently you told Dagonet and Gawain that you would forgive them if they make us breakfast."
Katie shrugged, "Oh, cool….someone pass the Fruit Loops."
"The fruit what?" Galahad asked.
"The red cereal box with the birdie." Katie answered.
Katie sighed contentedly as she stepped under the spray of warm water in her shower, happy to have some time to herself.
Jenny was busy educating the knights about the wonderful world of anime shows like InuYasha, Bleach, Naruto, etc, giving Katie time to bathe privately.
But, as you all surely know, the gods of Bunnyism (and hell, TRO and DA as well) love their entertainment as much as they love their ambrosia, so Katie's calm, relaxing shower time was definitely not going to stay calm and relaxing.
So, Katie showered, washed her hair with the non-Sweet Strawberry Pudding scented shampoo and conditioners, and after collecting her shaving kit, got out of the shower, tucked her towel securely around her torso, and hopped up onto the sink to shave her legs.
But Katie was totally unprepared for Tristan to walk into the bathroom.
"ACK!" Katie squealed, turning red as a tomato, dropping her razor and holding her towel more securely to her chest, "What the hell are you doing?"
Tristan blushed as well, though it wasn't as noticeable, and looked away.
('If it isn't noticeable, then how do you know?' DA asked.
TRO shrugged, 'I just ask Katie.'
'…Okie dokie then.')
"I apologize," Tristan said, looking at the wall like it was the most interesting thing in the world, "I didn't know you were still in here. I'll leave you to…what ever it is you are doing." And with that, the aloof, embarrassed scout walked out of the bathroom.
Katie leaned her head against the mirror and sighed in embarrassment as Tristan left, making sure to shut the door behind him. Honestly, she had partly expected to be walked in on by one of the knights, considering they were living in such tight quarters, but she didn't expect Tristan to do it.
No, that seemed to be something Lancelot would do.
After teaching the knights the finer points of anime and manga, and the 'Tristan walking in on Katie as she got out of the shower' incident (and now Katie was doing her best to avoid Tristan, partially due to embarrassment), it was Jenny's turn to take over the bathroom, and was sitting on top of the bathroom counter, feet resting in the sink, straightening her hair.
Jenny was currently attempting to get her hair straight with the really, really hot flatiron, while not burning her ears off, when Lancelot walked into the bathroom and started rooting through the cabinet under the sink.
Jenny raised an eyebrow in confusion while she watched Lancelot go through all the cabinets in Katie's bathroom, "What the frak are you doing?"
"You have hair-dye in this era, correct?" Lancelot said, glancing at her with a desperate look in his eyes.
Jenny put the flatiron down and turned to look at the knight, "Yeah…why?" She asked slowly.
"I need some."
"Why?"
Lancelot shifted nervously, "I need it for-….can you please just get me some? Please?"
Jenny bit her lip and contemplated why the hell he would need hair dye, and whether or not she would go out and get some for him. She had a feeling she should know why, being such an avid fan of the movie, but she just didn't remember.
"Hey Jenny," Katie said, interrupting her train of thought as she poked her head into the bathroom, "have you seen Lancelot at all? He's been running around the house going through the cabinets asking about hair-dye and muttering like a loon….oh, hey Lancelot." She said as she noticed the knight sitting on the ground in front of the cabinets.
"I am not a loon." He muttered indignantly as he stood up and exited the bathroom.
"Nope, just a man-whore." Katie shot back before turning to Jenny, "What up?"
Jenny shrugged, "Not much, just debating whether or not I should go get Lance some hair dye."
Katie looked over her shoulder in the direction that Lancelot went, "Why does he need hair-dye?"
Jenny turned back to the mirror to finish straightening her hair, "He wouldn't say. I have a feeling we should know why, but I don't remember right now."
"We'll remember eventually." Katie said with a laugh.
So friends, unfortunately this is the end of chapter 10…very short we know, but we're having horrifyingly busy weeks because it's the week before spring break and our teachers LOVE swamping us with work (TRO still needs to finish her term paper...due tomorrow...ew)…
We'd also like to take this time to apologize to our faithful readers because this is going to be the last chapter for about two weeks. As we said, spring break starts this weekend, and I'm (TRO) going on a trip, so I won't be able to get to a computer. I promise I'll do my best to write out the rest of day 5 on my trip, and post it as soon as possible.
Happy reading everyone! See you in a couple weeks!
