|Heichan's POV|

Zak said that he was going to pick up a friend, and then we would see Keiichi. I just asked a few times, but his response was all mean. He's like, "WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP A FRIEND, THEN WE CAN SEE HIM! NOW SHUT THE HELL UP!" I don't really blame him though. He's been really pissy since Argost kidnapped his parents. I hope he feels better.

|Zak's POV|

Heichan whined and complained about not seeing her brother. I finally lost it, a bit early though, and I yelled at her. As soon as I did, she got a shocked look. Then she smirked. "What's that for, Saturday? Wanna hug?" ((Author's Note: She means "Want a" not "Want to")) "NO!" She came closer and closer. "I… I'll turn off autopilot! We'll crash!" "You wouldn't do that." She finally got me, but she flipped me and rode on my back instead. "Giddy-up." She said, pleased with her doing. Frances just sat in the corner. Argost had his dad, too. He was just acting strangely about it.

|Heichan's POV|

I got off of Zak's back after, what, 2 hours? He acted as if I tired him out. "I know you're not tired!" "Yes I am, after running around with you on my back!" "Nah ah. Keiichi did it all the time! He never got tired, but you're probably really weak. Keiichi's strong!" I said, suddenly getting proud of my brother. I sat there, enthralled in memories of Keiichi, doing weird stuff, amazing me, even some of the fights we had. By the time I actually looked at anything else but the ceiling, we had landed. It was also daytime too. I took a good look out the window, and was consumed in horror. Zak had landed us… in… the desert. "What's that for, Sairagi?" He said, mocking my voice. "It's… the desert…" "There's nothing wrong with it." Frances said. "Yes… th-th-there is…" "What's so bad about it?" They both said. "Scorpion… central…" I whispered. (In case the Scorpions would hear it.) "Well, we're here to get Wadi, and we're not leaving you here." "Well." From then on, they both took turns carrying me. (Better them than me.)

Sorry for such a long wait! Thank you x-Secret Magic-x (hope I spelled it right) for the very wonderful idea for... Frances' future in the story. Head over to the reviews to see it! That very review made me scream out: "OH MY GOD, A REVIEW! FINALLY! (Since no one reviewed chapters 22-24 ((I think it was)) I worked so quickly and thought so hard to put up. *cry*) NOW, I CAN MAKE CHAPTER 25!", in German, and woke up my parents, sister, and baby sister. (OMG NOOO!) This, you see, is why you review: I. STOP. WRITING. OUT. OF. SADNESS. NOW REVIEW!

Whoa, I never put this up? I'm soooooo sorry! I got one nasty review on one of my other stories, but yes, you can review this one. I guess I was kind of afraid to put something else up. Once again, I'm soooooo sorry!
