"Cass…." Samantha commented, leaning in the doorway of Cassandra's room. "I'm hungry…."
Cassandra looked up from her computer. "You want to drive to McDonald's?"
"Yay!" Samantha agreed. "We can get more Monopoly pieces!"
"And win a million dollars!" Cassandra said.
"I'll go put shoes on!" Samantha walked off and returned a few moments later, then the two women headed out.
"Which car do you wanna take?" Samantha asked when they got to the garage.
"Mine!!" Cassandra announced. Cassandra didn't really have a car there. But there was one she usually drove, and since Cassandra hadn't slept in about a week she didn't understand the difference. Okay, well, actually she wouldn't have cared about the difference anyway, but now it was even worse.
"Okay!!" Samantha agreed. Samantha also hadn't slept in a few days. And when the two of them were together they tended to feed off of each other's energy. Which was very very bad. And that was generally why people didn't leave them alone. But apparently for some reason they were now alone. I dunno why. Probably because it was just after midnight. But that's no excuse.
But anyway. They were driving to McDonald's! And then they got there!
"Where are you going?' Samantha asked.
"Drive thru!" Cassandra said.
"But we don't know if it's open!" Samantha protested. "We should check the hours."
So Cassandra made a U-ie. And they drove by the hour sign. And they found out that McDonald's closed at eleven! Which was bad. Because now they got no food!
"It's closed!" Cassandra said. "You said it was open till three!"
"Something's open till three." Samantha said.
"Taco Bell?" Cassandra offered.
"Taco Bell!!!" Samantha agreed.
So they headed off to Taco Bell. And Cassandra was going swervey swervey because there was really no one on the streets. Except the random people on the sidewalks who probably thought that they were drunk. But they weren't so that just shows what those stupid people know.
And then Cassandra took a corner a little too fast and Samantha went slamming against the wall. Fortunately the seatbelt stopped her, but unfortunately the seatbelt happened to be at her neck.
"Ow." Samantha complained. "What was that?"
"I swerved!" Cassandra announced happily.
"Which is fun." Samantha said. "Except when the seatbelt chokes me!"
"I swerve good! I swerve again!" Cassandra swerved again.
This time the seatbelt didn't work and Samantha smacked into Cassandra.
"Ow!" Samantha said again. "Your seatbelt didn't work! It's malfunctional! You have a malfunctioning seatbelt!"
For some reason that was really funny. And so Cassandra and Samantha laughed for about ten minutes. And injured their spleens. A lot. And then they were still laughing when they reached a red light. And just kept going.
"I ran a red light!" Cassandra commented after they had driven away.
"Yay!" Samantha agreed, then paused. "Where's Taco Bell?"
"I dunno!!!!" Cassandra announced cheerfully.
"Keep driving until you see a sign!" Samantha suggested.
"Oh, look, the free way." Cassandra said. "They have signs there!"
"Hey, has anyone seen Cass? Or Sam?" Logan asked, walking into the recreation room where Bobby and Gambit were playing video games.
"Nope." Bobby said. "Haha, you're dead!"
"Shit." Gambit muttered. "Why does Gambit always die?"
"Because you suck at this game?" Bobby suggested.
"It's four in the morning, and they're not in their beds." Logan said, ignoring their conversation. "Actually, they're not anywhere."
Logan, stop being paranoid. The professor said, randomly chiming in. Just to fuck with his head. Their car is gone. They're off joy riding somewhere. They'll be back. Now I'm going to go to my dance lesson. So please refrain from contacting me in the next couple of hours.
"Have you tried their cell phones?" Bobby asked.
Logan looked at him blankly, so Gambit pulled out his cell phone and called Samantha. The phone rang for a moment, then someone picked up.
"Taco Bell, Taco Bell, all for me, Taco Bell." Samantha sang, with Cassandra singing along in the background.
"Where are you guys?" Gambit asked.
"Taco Bell!!" Samantha told him.
"Dat's nice. Did you get food for de rest o' us?" Gambit asked. "Or, more importantly, did you get food for Gambit?"
"It'd be cold by then!" Cassandra yelled towards the phone.
"Only Taco Bell for us!" Samantha agreed. "We special! But you can have a bite of ze taco."
"What Taco Bell are they at?" Logan asked. He could totally hear them yelling about Taco Bell. Actually, people in Australia could probably here them yelling about Taco Bell. Fucking kangaroos.
"Taco Bell where?" Gambit asked.
There was a pause.
"Taco Bell land?" Samantha offered.
"We were on the free way!!!" Cassandra announced. "They have signs there. That's where signs come from."
"How long has it been since Cass and Sam slept?" Bobby asked.
There was more silence.
"Do you guys know how to get home?" Gambit asked.
"We follow ze signs!!!!!!" Cassandra said.
"Ze signs will show us the way, Gambit! Ze signs have spoken!" Samantha said. "Look! There's a sign that says Westchester 40 miles!"
"I like 40." Cassandra said.
"It's a good number to have." Samantha agreed, then asked, "You wanna park randomly or go back to my place?"
"Your place!" Cassandra commented.
"Is Gambit invited?" Gambit asked.
Logan shot him a look. One that said I kill you now bitch so shut up or die a horrible painful death by claws and pinching. Maybe little pinch. Maybe lot of pinch.
Gambit shut up.
"Bye guys!!!" Samantha said, then hung up.
Some time later, Cassandra and Samantha finally returned. With Taco Bell! Which was, unsurprisingly, cold. Since they had waited to eat it until they got back. But apparently they didn't think of that. Well, they thought about it and didn't bring Gambit back any food because it would be cold but didn't consider that their food would be cold. Because they were special!
But they ate it anyway. Because Taco Bell was yummy and good and filled with goodness. And Samantha got Mountain Dew which wasn't a good idea but she got it anyway.
Cassandra opened her quesadilla and pouted. "They didn't cut my food. Looooogaaaaan? Cut my taco?"
Logan stared at her. She beamed at him then passed out on the floor.
"Cass! Your food!" Samantha said, then paused. "My food! Taco Bell, Taco Bell, all for me!" She sang.
Logan picked up Cassandra and started taking her to her bed. But she woke up!!!
"Where's my Taco Bell?" Cassandra asked, looking around. "Sam has my Taco Bell!"
She jumped out of Logan's arms and started chasing Samantha around the room. Logan shook his head, then started running after both of them. Gambit and Bobby watched this for a few minutes, then Bobby started humming the happy traditional chasing music that is shown on every funfun TV show.
"Na na na na na nanana na na." Bobby commented.
And that is what happened. Yay.
The end.
