KawaiiGameFreak: Wow I'm updating fast (obvious sarcasm). I could finish the fic before school's out (obvious-er sarcasm).

Peach: Don't get ahead of yourself (obvious blonde moment).

KGF: I would be updating faster, but I've had projects, tests and science fairs out the yin-yang. I could've updated faster but my 'partner' for the science fair was at 'figure skating' every day of the week. You know who you are (coughChelseaHolletcough). Any who, this chapter will be a bit more random then last (if at all possible), more along the lines of "A Wish Come True?". Enjoy!

Chapter 13: Half a Dozen Ways to Get Kicked Outta Wal-Mart

LAURA'S POV

Once again we were on the road and homeward bound. We were so close to Newfoundland I could almost hear seagulls. "Hey guys?" I spoke up against the silence. It was so quiet I was desperate for some sort of ruckus. "Remember the FBI chasing us outta Rick's? What ever happened to 'um?" Everyone shrugged their shoulders.

"Maybe they forgot about us." Sakura guessed.

"I'm sure," Artimus responded "that the fact that ten inter-dimensional beings blew up a fast-food mascot, stole not only a bus but the spare tires off two mini-vans and are now driving like bats out of hell across the country…must have just slipped the Prime Minister's mind."

"…You may be right." (insert anime style sweat-drop for Artimus here)

"Do you not understand sarcasm?" Artimus took things a little too serious sometimes.

"I understand sarcasm very well actually." I retorted. "My head's just too lazy to process it all." It is truly impossible to have a serious argument with me if I'm in a good mood. I'll just spit out whatever nonsense pops into my head in an attempt to make the attacker laugh and forget what we were arguing about in the first place. Artimus groaned and slumped back down into his seat next to Mew. The radio continued to blare obscure rock music as we drove along. We were in Labrador now, just getting into Happy Valley-Goose Bay where we would hitch a ride on the ferry and head for home. It wasn't all that exciting, but I was still hyper; we were almost to Newfoundland, I was almost home!

"Hey who's gonna pay for the ferry?" We all froze up. We hadn't thought of that. "It should be Alecia; I mean, if she hadn't destroyed the portal, we wouldn't have to drive all the way out here in the first place."

"Are you still mad about that Ryan? If you had just shut your pie hole it wouldn't have happened." They'd been bickering and biting at each other's throats the whole freaking trip! I swear if I hear that argument once more I'll kill the nearest person whose six feet, green eyes, black hair, male…

"HOLD IT!" I yelled. "I have an idea. Stop the bus." Alecia stepped on the brakes and we found ourselves in front of a half empty Wal-Mart. "Perfect…" I thought as a sly grin spread over my face. "Why don't we play the "Who can get kicked out of Wal-Mart fastest?" game?" Apparently, no one knew the rules to said game. "It's quite simple, who ever can annoy the staff and get kicked out of Wal-Mart the fastest wins! Everyone else has to split the bill for the WHOLE boat trip: food, rooms, the arcade, etc. Whadaya say? Sound good?" They whispered amongst themselves.

"And what if we don't what to play the "Who can get kicked out of Wal-Mart fastest" game?" Peach questioned on behalf of the group.

"Then you'll be luggage cadies; ALL of our luggage." They began whispering again.

"Ok, deal." They all seemed very reluctant to play my awesome game, I wonder why.

"Alrighty then. Anyone who doesn't want to play the game will keep time and record how long it took each person to get kicked out, and they'll be luggage cadies. Everyone agree on the rules?" They all nodded. Peach, Sakura, Artimus and Mewtwo volunteered to stay behind and keep time. Everyone else rushed into Wal-Mart to start the game.

INSIDE WAL-MART

RYAN'S POV

This was the sweetest game ever! We thought of playing it before but none of us had the guts to do some of the stuff we said we would. My plan was fool-proof; this would get me kicked outta Wal-Mart for sure! I ducked and weaved around the shelves to avoid suspicion. Finally I found what I was looking for, the PA room. Unfortunately it was guarded by a burly looking security guard. "No biggie." I thought as I raced up to him. "Hey buddy," I whispered, "there's a code purple in women's lingerie." He ran off like lightning, but not before I snatched his keys. "Hehe, sucker. What the hell is a code purple anyway?" I thought. I unlocked the door and stepped in. "Gez, ya figure this place would have better security." I calmly flipped on the PA. This was gonna be sick. "Hello shoppers! Today I would like to dedicate a song to my future girlfriend whether she likes it or not…Alecia! You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel."

TOY DEPARTMENT

ALECIA'S POV

You know what sucks? Having a perverted stalker heckling you constantly trying to get a date. You know what else sucks? The fact that you could hear the Wal-Mart PA from anywhere in the whole mall…and everyone heard Ryan singing the Discovery Channel song. Laura had a laughing fit and half the guys started singing along! "Awwwww." Laura cooed. "Your boyfriend luvs you."

"Silence! Let us finish this duel!" We bowed and took our stances. Mew gave the signal and we went at it, attempting to slash each other with giant gift wrap tubes.

"You think you can beat me! I've seen all six episodes of Star Wars!" Laura yelled, avoiding my attack.

"Is that something you wanna brag about?" I chuckled as I got her right in the wrist. She screamed bloody murder, falling to the ground while clutching her wrist in 'pain'. "Come to the dark side, we have cookies."

"I'll never join you! I already ate the cookies…oh, and I know what you did to my father."

"But Laura, I am your father! Bawhahahaha!" She stared at me blankly for a moment.

"Ew. You're a dude." We all burst out laughing at that one. This was the most fun I've had in a long time. With Ryan stalking me, being turned into a mutant horse thingy…it was getting hard to enjoy life. This was a breath of fresh air; I think for all of us.

"I'm bored." Mica yawned. "I wanna annoy the cops! Come on Thunders!" He jumped on her shoulder and they raced off.

"Speaking off cops!" Laura jumped to her feet. "There is evil hidden in this very mall! Which is why I, Batman,…"

"That would be BatWOMEN, genius."

"…whatever…will now go save the world from…"

"The forces of evil?" Mew interrupted.

"…no…from the villainous security guards!" She grabbed a nearby shopping cart, jumped in it and turned to me. "Robin! To the Batcave!"

"…are you kidding me? I'm not being Robin! Why don't you be Robin?"

"Cuz I call dibs on being Batman. HA!" She was so immature sometimes it wasn't even funny. I sighed and got on the back of the cart. "Dananananananananananana BATMAN! WHEEEEEEEEE! Push me faster Robin!"

"Off a cliff would be nice."

ASHLEY'S POV

I loved this plan! I've always wanted to do something like this. Though, it was a pain waiting for people to come by. "Do do do do do do do…" I was absentmindedly humming the Jeopardy theme when I heard someone coming. I crouched down and waited. Then, just when the person walked by… "RRAAWRR!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!" I couldn't help but laugh as the woman ran away. That was the 9th one in an hour. Not many people would stand their ground against a rabid werewolf, even if the foam was just toothpaste. I can't believe people got scared by me. Though, a giant werewolf would be the last thing you'd expect to see in women's lingerie. I was almost in tears laughing when ten security guards in S.W.A.T gear surrounded me.

"Wa? The hell's yer problem?"

"We got a tip about a code purple in women's lingerie." One of them responded.

"What's a code purple? No wait, don't tell me. Code purple stands for a rabid, genetically mutated wolf-like being harassing female customers."

"No. Actually it stands for a streaking anthromorphic cat, but you'll do." They started closing in on me.

"Back off!" I yelled, standing my ground and snarling. My eyes darted wildly around the circle, making sure they were all in my sights. I yelped as something sharp stun my backside. Apparently they had a tranquilizer gun, which sucked. I began to fell dizzy and collapsed to the floor. The last words I heard were not very pleasant ones.

"No more foolishness! Time for you to get your shots."

MICA'S POV

"This is so much fun, isn't it Thunders?"

"Yup. It's fun to annoy people!" This game was a really smun (smart and fun) idea. We could do anything we wanted and not get in trouble. As I ran through the aisles I couldn't help but see people staring at Thunders.

"Poor Thunders." I thought. "All these people think he's weird, but he's not, he just looks different." I could hear them whispering about him, and me. I didn't like it when people say things behind your back. If they want to say something they should say it right to me. Thunders looked uncomfortable with all the eyes surrounding him. Anyone would be. I finally stopped running and faced the crowd. "IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY YOU SHOULDN'T SAY IT AT ALL! Hmp!" I turned away from them and continued walking. "I don't like yelling like that but I don't like people whispering things about my boyfriend."

"Aw, thanks Mica." He shyly kissed me as we continued. "Look! There it is!" He pointed to the information counter where there was a very bored looking security guard at the desk. Before we got a chance to go over, however, Ryan came on the PA and started singing a funny song.

"Boom boom boom, I want you in my pants…" We were both confused.

"That's a weird song. Why would you want someone in your pants? That would be very uncomfortable." Thunders nodded in agreement. "I forgot what we were doing because of Ryan's weird song. Oh! I remember! The security guard! Why don't we make him look less bored?"

"Yup! Let's go!" I ran over to the desk and ran the bell.

"Can I help you?" He grunted, not even looking up from his magazine.

"Hi! Did you know only licensed electricians can change a light bulb in Australia?" He didn't seem very annoyed. "Did you know the oldest piece of chewing gum is over 9000 years old? Did you know smelling bananas can help you lose weight? Did you that Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy?" He still never looked up and I was running out of stupid facts. "Did you know it's illegal to drive a car blindfolded in Alabama? Did you know a person spends about 5 years dreaming? Did you know one out of every four Americans has been on TV? Did you know Mozart never went to school?" This was getting stupid. None of my dumb facts were making him annoyed! I was going to have to pull out my awesomely weird dumb fact that I never use except for emergences! "Oh well." I thought, "If this doesn't get him to notice me and be annoyed nothing will!" "Did you know it's illegal to BEEP a porcupine in Florida?"

LINK'S POV

"This was a great idea, wasn't it Link?"

"Definitely. Why didn't we think of this before? Pass the marshmallows please." Mew floated over the bag. "Thanks." I managed to say between mouthfuls of marshmallows. We weren't rushing around trying to get kicked out, but this might still annoy the security enough to get us kicked out. We'd set up camp in the camping supplies section with blankets and alike from Bed and Bath and junk food from Buck or Two. "This is so much better then camping outdoors."

"Yup. All we need now is a camp fire. Hey! I can make fire! Watch!" She suddenly lit the tent of fire. "Pretty fire." She giggled playfully and started roasting marshmallows.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" She continued to roast marshmallows while singing gibberish in an high voice pitched, completely oblivious to the hordes of people running away from the flaming tent.

"Delicious bunnies coming down the mountain! I like pie with apple sauce! Killer primates came out from gassy swamps! POMEAGRANETE WAR FARM!" Not a moment too soon, the fire alarm went off and water showered down from the ceiling. "Awwww." She whined. "Pretty fire go bye-bye." I couldn't help but question the fact that the ball of hyper in front of me was related in any way to the blob of gloom sitting back on the bus. Not to mention how said blob of gloom caught the eyes of the blast of randomness now zipping around the mall in a shopping cart. So many things in this scenario were out of whack that it was truly impossible to see the connections. Somehow though, it was a welcome change to the tournament. Don't get me wrong, I love fighting, but still, this sort of adventure is quite interesting to say the least. "Link, can I make pretty fire again?"

"NO!" Just then Alecia came by dragging a shopping cart.

"Have either of you seen Laura around? We went past the school supplies, she jumped out, ran, and I haven't seen her since."

"Why would she be near the school supplies section?" That was the last place anyone would expect to see her.

"I don't know! I can't go inside her head and even if I could I'd be traumatized for life! Well I better be off. Tell me if you…" She was interrupted by a rather rude signal of the PA system.

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP." After hearing Ryan's broadcast, Alecia promptly fainted. Who wouldn't, after hearing that annoying test pattern beep maxed out over a PA?

7:00 THAT EVENING

WAL-MART PARKING LOT

"Well that was fun while it lasted." Ryan chuckled. This had been one of the stupider things we've done, but enjoyable none the less. We'd all got kicked out pre-seven o'clock, but just waited by the door for everyone else. "Not to mention I got kicked out first! Now I don't have to pay a cent! Ha ha!" As stated by Sir Braggart over there, he got kicked out first, followed by Mew, Mica, Thunders, myself and Alecia. When we each got kicked out we waved to the bus to let them know and waited for the rest. "Have any of you seen Laura?"

"Ya, you figure she'd gotten kicked out by now." I pondered. Come to think of it, none of us had seen her since she jumped out of her shopping cart near the school supplies. We continued to question the matter as we walked on to the bus…and saw Laura, on the bus, lying back, sleeping! "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?"

"AAAHHH!" She jumped up and attached herself to the roof of the bus. After a second or so she slid back down into her seat. "Oh? The games over?" We nodded. "I win!"

"No you don't!" Ryan hollered "I got kicked out first! I win!" She just smirked.

"Sakura, times please." She picked up the score sheet and read it aloud.

"Alecia: 5 hours, Link: 4 and a half hours, Thunders: 2 hours and fifteen minutes, Mica: 2 hours and fourteen minutes, Mew: 1 hour, Ryan: 45 minutes and Laura: 15 minutes." Not a jaw was closed.

"15 MINUTES!" Alecia yelled "How could you get kicked out in only fifteen minutes?"

"You didn't see me, or hear me for that matter?" They all shook their heads. "Well in that case, let me tell you the awesomest way to get kicked out of Wal-Mart ever!"

FLASHBACK

INSIDE WAL-MART

LAURA'S POV

This was the most perfect way to get kicked out of Wal-Mart ever! I slipped into the aisle without much notice and picked up the box. "Oh yea," I slurred "this is the good stuff." I took out what I was looking for, Sharpies, black Sharpies. These things, when sniffed, are the approximant equivalent of about six tons of hyper pills mixed with 12 tons of crack. In other words, after sniffing, the user would be and I quote, "high as a flippin' kite".

END FLASHBACK

BACK ON THE BUS

MEWTWO'S POV

"So you ran around Wal-Mart while high on Sharpies?" Ryan questioned. She had done some stupid things in the past, I had a bad feeling this was going to be one of them.

"Correction; I ran around Wal-Mart…naked…while high on Sharpies." (insert nameless expression of horror here) Well, it was needless to say that Laura was just about the weirdest being on Earth, but somewhere in all her bizarre nature is a shy, kind-hearted angel. I still haven't found it yet. "Wait a sec, what happened to Ashley? Did she come out with you guys?" They shook their heads. "K…if she's not with you, and she's not on the bus, then…?"

Suddenly, a S.W.A.T van pulled up beside the bus. We all rushed out to see what was going on. We weren't the only ones who gathered. It looked like all of Happy Valley-Goose Bay came out to see what the S.W.A.T team had in their van. Whatever was in their van was certainly noisy. It growled and shook and roared and I had a really bad feeling about this. Two men emerged from the van and opened the doors while four other men went to the back. After a moment or two of silence, they surfaced from the van while dragging something on a leash. It was a sad sight. The once fearful and monstrous Absol-morph was now being dragged along by the S.W.A.T team through the crowd towards the bus. Also, the lampshade on her neck didn't help matters much. "Excuse me?" One of the men asked me. "Is this your dog?"

"Hey!" She yelled. "I'm nobody's BEEP!" This was quite embarrassing. We'd already attracted too much attention with this stupid game and now the S.W.A.T team shows up. I shook my head. They were about to drag her away when she bit her handler causing him to get go of the leash and rushed over. "I said I wasn't his BEEP, that's her department." She whispered under her breath, pointing at Laura.

"I HEARD THAT!"

"Nobody cares." I expected to see a wad of shaving cream on her face tonight. "I don't belong to anyone, but I'm still traveling with them." She turned to us. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!" She started shoving us onto the bus.

"Ashley." Laura questioned. "What'd they do to you over there?" The demon's response was blunt and quick.

"I don't like shots, neutering is evil, let's go."

KawaiiGameFreak: Sorry if this was rushed, but I needed to finish this before D/P comes out. Once that happens well, kiss quick updates good-bye (as if they were ever here). Also, for anyone interested, I've been revamping chapters from "A Wish Come True?" and posting them on deviantART(same username). If enough people want me to, I'll make the same minor changes to the FanFiction version (such as fixing typos, editing minor loop holes and combing the first two parts of the series (which a few people have already mentioned)). Ja ne! (P.S: I've been looking for a good English to Japanese translator (not BabbleFish, it kinda sucks), one that can translate phrases (ex. "I love you") without the symbols. If anyone knows one, it would be a great help for the last and/or second last chapters of this fic.)
