(A/N: Hey guys. Sorry if I went all KERRRRRAAAAYZAY(crazy - try to read it the way I wrote it, it's funnier ^-^), but sometimes I get annoyed; no offense. I LUV U GUYS! Anyways, I dedicate this story to everyone…even those who didn't review. However, don't think your off the hook…YOU STILL NEED TO REVIEW THIS CHAPTER.)

8:02 a.m.
I had packed all my necessary things: toothbrush, a couple of outfits, etc., etc. I headed to the S.P.R. office where we were going to meet up before we left.
The office seemed sort of empty. Was I early? The only people occupying the compact office was Naru and Lin (as always).
I entered the quiet office…EARLY! I noticed that Naru and Lin were not visible, which meant they were still cooped up in their office.
"Mai, come here." Naru called from his office. Obediently, I stationed my suitcase in the small closet located by the door and went into his office.
"You rang." I said a bit annoyed. But much to my dismay, Naru was no where to be found - which was pretty creepy.
"N-Naru?" I whispered to the seemingly empty room. A hint of fright visible in my shaky voice.
"I'm back here, you idiot." Naru said from behind, closing the door that I had left open. He had his phone at hand.
"Ohhh." I sighed in relief. I had been scared too badly to come up with a snappy come back.
"I wanted to ask you: would Tuesday at four o' clock sharp be okay for you?" he asked. Tuesday at four? Okay for what? And why is he asking me?
"For what?" I asked, putting extra emphasis in the 'H' - I was board… SUE ME!.
"For your television's cable of course!" he sighed.
"O-Oh! Y-Yes! That'll be great!" I exclaimed smiling. "B-But why?" I asked once I was calm again.
Naru opened his mouth to say something, but was cut-off by Monk saying, "Honey, I'm home!" as he swung the door open.
"Monk-san!" I cheered running into his arms. We hugged for a while until Yasu got my attention…
"Mai-chan, have you forgotten about me?" he fake pouted.
"Nobody could possibly forget about you, Yasuhara-kun." I muttered. Still, I dragged my feet and hugged him.
"Is the BRAT here?" Ayako muttered.
"Yoooooo betcha." I said - taking a really long time saying the 'oo' in 'you'.
"John!" I chimed, running to give him a hug. The priest is a really shy person, so I decided to spare him from a one of those hugs I give that make all the air go out of your guts and gave him a simple handshake.
"Masako." I chimed, but you know when you say something that should sound really excited but instead you say it in a really annoyed and sarcastic tone? Well, that's how I said it.
She rolled her eyes at me, clearly annoyed.
"Sooooo, where's Naru-kun?" Monk asked in attempt to lift the tension that had enveloped the room.
"Guess." I said quizzingly (A/N: Is that even a word? 'QUIZZINGLY') raising an eyebrow.
"Office?" everyone said in union. I nodded with a small smile. Everyone's mouth went into the shape of an 'O'. Well, I'm not sure about Masako. What ever she does behind that damn kimono is a mystery.
"Everyone's here, so let's head out." Naru announced as he exited his office. As if on cue, Lin exited his office at the precise moment. And so, we grabbed our luggage and left the building.
9:35 a.m.
As always, with Naru behind the wheel, we got there right on time. I jumped out of the van and ran to the front door. Everybody followed suit (not including: Lin, Masako, and of course…Naru). I rang the doorbell. No answer. So, I rang it again. But I got the same result.
"I wonder if she's ho-" I was cut off by Ms. Osahari swinging the front door open. We all jumped back surprised.
"It's doing it again! Please, follow me!" she begged. We were all frozen.
"HURRY!" she pleaded and we all snapped out of our trance.
Half way up the stairs, we heard a little girl screaming, "Mommy! Help! AAAHHH!" The ear splitting screech only fueled our adrenaline.
When we reached the door that lead to the girl's room, Ms. Osahari swung it open. "Honey!" she screamed in horror. We all approached the door and froze when we saw what awaited us inside…
Emily-chan was hovering over her bed and all her toys were going haywire around her. Then she started spinning!
"Takigawa." Naru ordered. Apparently, he didn't have to specify, for Monk-san stepped forward and performed his counter spell, "Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan". everything froze in it's track and then fell to the hard wood floor. 'WHAT HAD HAPPENED?'
(A/N: WHAT HAPPENED? YOU'LL HAVE TO KEEP READING FOR FURTHER EXPLAINATIONS. P.S.: Did anyone notice that Naru got Mai cable and how non-Naru that is? Good, just checking. ^-^ PLEASE REVIEW. I'm in a lighter mood today, so don't make me grouchy by not reviewing.)
