Danielle's eyes became as wide as saucers. "What the heck?" she gasped, amazed. Although really, she shouldn't have been—this sort of thing had been happening for awhile now.

"Nooooo!" Kat wailed. "The chipmunks!"

"Kat, these are squirrels," Yugi said, somewhere from underneath the sea of squirrels. Hiei was doing a breaststroke in the sea of squirrels while Ed just floated there.

"Oh," Kat said. She was apparently relieved. Danielle picked up a squirrel by the tail.

"Stupid rodents," she muttered. Orange, who had been sleeping on Yugi's chest before being bombarded by the non-electric rodents, heard this and became... depressed...

"PIKAAAAA!"

"Cheeee!"

"OW!" Yugi screamed, as a jolt seemed to go through his brain. Luckily the squirrels were effected too, writhing on the floor.

Hiei poked the squirrels. "All of them are knocked out," he announced.

"I see...hey, where's Ed!?" Kat asked, looking around. Hiei sniffed.

"Oh sure! Worry about HIM!" he yelled.

Danielle blinked. "But you're fine," she pointed out.

Hiei turned away from the two authoresses in a huff. "I may have feelings, you know," he warned.

"Oh gee," Yugi said in a deadpan voice. "We are so sorry. Not."

"So...yeah where is Ed?" Danielle said. Suddenly!! A sparkly golden note floated from the plothole. Kat grabbed it and read:

Idiot Humans,

We have Edward Elric. if you ever wanna see him again, you must pay the ransom of $4567.00 and 300 acorns. Do it by Tuesday or the short alchemist gets it!

--Berry the squirrel

Awkward silence...

"...well this sucks," Yugi said.

"That's a lot of money," Danielle decided.

"Naw, really?"

Danielle glared at her anime boyfriend, thinking that she should've found someone from a nice shoujo anime.

"We could get jobs!" Kat screamed.

"...Did you have sugar?" Yugi wondered. Danielle gave Kat a surprised glance as well.

"I mean, how else will we get the money!? We're broke!" she said.

"True..." Danielle said apprehensively."You could work at Burger World with Tea!" Yugi suggested. "They have to wear the cutest uniforms... ok, never mind." Yugi scootched away from the two angry girls.

"What about WacDonalds?" Danielle suggested.

"Where?" Kat and Yugi asked at the same time.

"My friend Kagome goes their sometimes," Danielle explained.

"Oh yeah!...I still don't believe that their burgers have meat," Kat said. Yugi sweatdropped.

"Why not?" he asked, though he was afraid to know.

"Well, the last time I ate there, the burger tasted like rubber and plastic." Kat said, scratching her head.

"Kat, that was the fork," Danielle said.

"…Oh. I still don't think they're made of meat!" Kat decided. Danielle and Yugi sweatdropped.

"At any case, I'll go check and see if they have job openings." Danielle sighed.

Hiei, who's been ignored all this time, spoke.

"No one loves me," he said.

"You got that right," Yugi said, making Hiei pout. Kat sweatdropped.

Later, Danielle was on the phone, talking to the manager...who happened to be Professor Banner.

"Of course there are openings!" Professor Banner exclaimed, his eyes, as usual, in their perpetually happy-looking way--two arches up, as they always were, even when he frowned. Of course, Danielle didn't really know this… she was on the phone, after all. But she could guess.

She smiled. "Great! We'll be there in a few minutes!" she said and hung up. "We've been hired... by Banner-sama!" she said.

Kat grinned. "YAY!!!!!" she squealed.

"Did you say you'd be there in a few minutes?" Yugi asked.

"Uhm... yeah."

"Ok. You know Kagome lives in Tokyo, right? And not Domino City, and not anywhere near here?"

"Uh..."

"I didn't think so."

Suddenly, a plothole opened!! Kat blinked.

"That's convenient," she said and she jumped in plothole, Danielle and Yugi behind her. Hiei, being lazy, just sat on the couch and ate chips. Taking the remote in his hands, Hiei switched to Oprah. Yugi stuck his head back into the room.

"You coming Hiei?" asked the (seemingly) disembodied teen.

Hiei struggled with the remote, panicking. "Uh, yeah, as soon as I shut off this TV! The stupid remote's broken, it sent me to Oprah..."

Yugi sweatdropped. "Just leave it," he said, grabbed Hiei by his cloak, and pulled him into the plothole.

--At WacDonalds--

Kat and Danielle look around in awe.

"LOOK! It's the BEATLES!" Kat screamed.

"Uh... that's Kagome and her friends," Danielle said, sweat dropping profusely. She waved to her friend. "Hi Kagome!"

Kagome turned and smiled. "Hey Danielle!" she said with a wave. Kagome's friends, Yuka, Emi, and Who-Cares, looked at Danielle as if she were an alien from outer space.

"YOU KNOW KAGOME TOO!" they demanded angrily, ever Kagome's fan club.

"Uh... yeah," Danielle said unwisely.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Emi screamed. "She is OUR friend!"

"Our friend! Our friend!" Yuka and I-don't-know chanted.

Danielle's eyes became wide. She backed away. Kagome shrugged apologetically.

"Sorry Danielle...they're a little...uhh..." she said. Kat poked her head behind Danielle.

"Insane and obsessed over you so much that it's scary?" she asked. Kagome nodded with a sweatdrop.

"Now you know how I feel!" Kat pouted. "Hiei's always--actually, where is Hiei?"

In the kitchen...

"I don't WANT to work here, Yugi! I don't WANT to help that girlfriend-stealing alchemist!"

Yugi looked at Hiei was a half-lidded glare. "Just shut up and flip burgers," he commanded. Hiei growled and did as he was told.

--Outside--

Kat and Danielle were in PINK uniforms.

"I hate pink!!" Kat declared.The uniforms suddenly turned a vibrant green color.

"...This is much better," Kat said in a satisfied way. Danielle didn't even comment. Kat then went to serve some peoples. "Hi there! May I take your order?" she said cheerfully.

"I'll have a virgin screwdriver," a young man said.

Kat sweat dropped. "That'll be an orange juice..."

"No; not orange juice. A virgin screwdriver."

"...K," Kat said.

Kat went over to Danielle. "The guy wants a virgin screwdriver," she said.

"An orange juice?" Danielle repeated incredulously.

"Yeah," Kat muttered. "Geez..."

--Later--

Kat and Danielle served 234 customers...in 20 minutes.

"That is amazing!" said Professor Banner, his eyes like two shifted sixes with a hyphen in between. "We must give you a raise!"

"A raise?!" Kat asked excitedly.

"Of how much!?" Danielle wondered.

"2 cents!" the dueling teacher/apparent fast food store manager informed them with enthusiasm.

"...Dangit..."

"So how much do we have?" Kat asked happily.

"...2 cents." Danielle muttered.

"...Shoot." Kat said.

"That's not enough, huh?" Danielle mused. "Well... maybe we could make money publishing stories!"

"Like that guy? Shigure Sohma? From Fruits Basket?"

"...Um..."

Banner appeared. His eyes were still drawn up into arches. "Sorry. You two are in a contract. So, that means, you two must work here," he said. Suddenly, Banner got his white hair and his eyes opened, which were blood red. He got fangs as well.

"Forever," he finished, then turned into his normal smiley self again.

"..." 'said' Danielle. "...That was hot."

"- -U" Kat sweat dropped.

--In the Kitchen--

The burger grill was on fire. Hiei was screaming like a little girl, and Yugi was blowing on the flames.

"You--sound--like--Sponge--bob--when--you--scream!" Yugi averred loudly and angrily in between huffing and puffing. Professor Banner entered the room.

"NO! Don't blow on the fire! That will just make it--"

Whoosh.

"MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!"

"...Oh dear."

"AHHHHH!" Yugi screamed, his mangled crown of hair scorched. Suddenly, Squirtle appeared and used 'water gun' and put out the fire.

"Thanks Squirtle," Yugi said. Then he did a doubletake. "A SQUIRTLE!?" he cried. "I was saved by a lowly Pok'emon!"

"Rrrr." The Squirtle bit his ankles.

"MY ANKLE!"

"-s," Hiei added. "The narration said it bit your ankles, with an s."

"MY ANKLES!"

"Much better," praised Professor Banner.

Meanwhile, Danielle stole money from the cash register.

"It's easier than working," she murmured to herself.

Kat, in the meantime, was arguing with Chazz Princeton, who said that she got him the wrong order.

"You SAID you wanted a Caesar Salad!" Kat said.

"NO! I said I wanted a Julius Jr.! That's a mini-salad!" Chazz argued. Suddenly a polar bear came in and wiped off his face. Chazz's faceless body stood up, gestured maniacally at Kat, and then seemed to sigh, as if to say, 'You are useless.' Then it ran after the polar bear:) Doesn't this constant plot effort make you feel warm and fuzzy inside??

Kat blinked, then turned and walked over to Danielle. "This place scares me,." she muttered.

"...I think we should quit," Danielle said seriously.

"But what about Ed?"

"...Do we really care about Ed?" Danielle asked.

"Yes," Kat said, making Hiei scream in the kitchen, followed by a 'SHUT UP!' from Yugi.

"...Oh," said Danielle.

"...Yes," Kat said. Both stared at each other.

"Okay then! Besides, he can make me popsicles anytime I want!" Danielle said with a grin. "Abusing alchemy is great!"

"I have 300 acorns in my piggy bank," Hiei said mysteriously. "Maybe we could just throw the acorns at the rodents--"

Orange, in a huff, shocked Yugi. Oh, we didn't mention Orange was even here? Yes, Orange was bussing tables and receiving large tips from girls who thought having a rat clean their table was cute.

"Hm...yeah. And I have over $5, 000.00 in my piggy bank as well!" Kat chirped. Everyone turned wide-eyed at her.

"AND YOU NEVER TOLD US!?" Yugi yelled.

"I thought Danielle-chan would make me use it to pay off the roof," Kat said. "We bought the house without a roof, and we had to order it..."

"...That makes no sense," Hiei pointed out. A piece of shrimp smacked him in the mouth.

"Shrimp!" Hiei said, sucking on the shrimp. Danielle sweatdropped. "So, we basically got jobs for nothing?" she asked. Kat sweatdropped.

"...Yeah, pretty much." she said.

"...So we wore vibrant green uniforms for NOTHING?"

"I thought green was an improvement!" Kat argued. Danielle rolled her eyes, as if to say 'You know NO-THING.'

--At the squirrel hideaway--

Danielle kicked their door down, Kat and Yugi behind her. Hiei stayed in the car.

"...Danielle, we could have just opened the door like normal people." Yugi said.

"...Do I look normal to you?" she asked, one blue eye twitching.

"Uhhh... yes?" Yugi said hopefully.

"Rooooooight." Danielle rolled her eyes, and grabbed a bullhorn. "OKAY! LISTEN UP SQUIRRELIES SQUIRELLETES!"

The squirrels all turned with wide adorable eyes.

"...AW!" Danielle dropped the bullhorn and started smiling the dopey grin of someone who has a basket full of kittens on their lap and can't feel their legs because of the weight. "How cute!"

All of the squirrels took out machine-guns. O.o described the faces of the trio.

"They're not so cute now," Kat gulped.

All of the squirrels holding machine guns put on their cutest looks.

"Now they are!" Danielle crowed happily.

"We're going to die now, you know," Yugi muttered.

"Now we're not! I brought Cheesy Poofs!" Danielle assured him.

"Oh, yay. A fictional snack," Yugi said sarcastically.

Kat sweatdropped. "I never thought I would die while being shot by squirrels and eating Cheesy Poofs," she said.

"Life's funny like that," Danielle observed liltingly.

Kat sweatdropped, then took out the money and acorns and put it near the squirrels.

The squirrels slowly put down their machine guns, except for Pablo.

"No, Pablo, no!" squeaked Pebbles, Pablo's girlfriend. Pablo just glared at Danielle, who had been inadvertently stepping on Pablo's rock garden for months.

"The girl must DIE!" he screamed, and he shot.
