Can you take my picture?

The breeze flowed gently over the rolling in hills in Hokkaido. The short-lived summer flowers bloomed and into the distance Japan's rice supply grew in golden hills pressing against the glowing blue sky.

"Ah! This is just perfect!" a woman muttered to herself. She held a camera, artfully admiring the landscape.

She pressed down her finger on the button. Instead of a wonderful landscape two people stick their faces into the camera lenses and stuck their tongues out.

Lori starred in shock. The picture came up on her digital screen.

"…"

The teen boy and girl looked over Lori's at the small screen.

The boy spoke, "That was fun! Gee Lady, you weren't expecting that were you?"

Lori pressed a single button and the smiling couple was lost.

"Hey common that was a good picture!" the girl pouted."

"yeah you have no sense of humor!"

"I don't even Know your Names!" Lori shouted.

The girl came from behind Lori and tackled her, pushing her over to the ground. The teen got up laughing, "I am Mimi! Hear me roar!" and then she did a cheesy roar that sounded like something a little child would make.

"please cut this out, and leave. I have to do my photography project!"

"Ah common you haven't learned my name yet." The boy pulled out a rubber chicken. "Attack my penguin!" he dropped it on the ground.

Lori silently starred at it.

Mimi silently starred at it.

The boy silently starred at it. "Must have been a defective penguin!" the boy pulled out another rubber chicken. "Attack! Avenge you comrade!"

Lori silently starred at it.

Mimi silently starred at it.

The boy silently starred at it, "what a bunch of lazy bums."

"Rubber Chicken man, please leave."

"I am not Rubber chicken man!" Mimi shouted, pointing at herself.

"I'm not rubber chicken man! I am the victim of Penguins stealing my sanity!"

Lori, "Clearly they don't have anything left to steal!"

Mimi ran around Lori and Rubber chicken man chanting in a happy voice, "chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken!"

Lori looked down at the flowers being stomped to death by Mimi. "No! They were the center piece in the hot I was going to take!"

Rubber Chicken man pulled out an ipod and stuck the ear buds in both ear and sang in a painful voice, "count to one it's okay to live, count to two it's okay to rest, count to three it's okay to think, it's okay to live at my pace! Dadadadada Offense! Friends mamadad headin, Offense!"

Lori covered her ears. Mimi contuined to run around, but her chant had changed, "candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, candy!"

"mimi trade you places!" Rubber Chicken man called."

The girl giggled, and tackle hugged Lori again. Rubber Chicken man ran around in a circle in the opposite direction singing, "You don't know my name! You don't know my name! You don't know my name! You don't know my name! You don't know my name! You don't know my name!"

Mimi grabbed Lori's arms and pulled her into spinning around and around in a deformed sort of dance.

"Ack, ow cut it out! That hurts!" Lori shouted as she twisted her ankle. The sky started to orange.

The singing of the boy went unnoticed while Mimi continued to spin Lori around and around. The boy had found Lori's bag and was rummaging through it. Water bottle.

The boy aimed at the spinning girls and fired. A single splash sprayed Lori in the face, soaking her hair , shoulders and neck. The water thank god did not drip onto the camera around Lori's neck.

Enough already.

"YOU BRATS! GET AWAY! I HAVE A COLLAGE PHOTO UDE SOON! I CAME OUT HERE JUST FOR THE PERFECT PICTURE! YOU HAVE WRECKED EVERY OPROTUINITY I HAD TO CATCH THE LEGENDARY GOLD AGAINST THE BLUE! YOU HAVE RUINED MY CAREER! GET LOST BEFORE I-BEFOREI-I. GET AWAY!" Lori shouted, red faced and tears welling up. Both the boy and the girl stopped and listened to her shout.

"Ado, She doesn't know what the legendary gold against blue looks like does she?"

"Ah Mimi, you blew my name!"

"Photographer-san, take a look at the true gold against blue." Mimi Held her arms wide to the west. Golden rice waved in the wind, glowing slightly orange in the gold setting sun. Mist rising off the plants caught the light catching red light in the air. Somehow around the sun the sky remained blue.

With in a matter of seconds Lori was setting her camera low against the ground catching undamaged flowers in the foreground and the hill hiding a small portion of the golden sun. After twelve similar pictures, all catching over welling beauty and power Lori was satisfied.

Lori looks back to see where the couple had been standing and they had already left. Lori just starred at the place they had been, even facing away from the sun the sun set was beautiful.

Lori returned to Mochinoki with out any farther problems. Two weeks later came two very important letters in the mail.

The first was a typed standard message:

July16

Congratulations to, LORIyour photograph has been selected to compete in the national artist of Japan competition. The winner gets 5,000,000 yen (about $50,000) the competition will be August 10th to the 17th. You will be leaving MOCHINOKI AIRPORT August 10th is you so chose and returning August 17 from the Sakurajima airport. Please mail this back as soon as possible for your tickets.

From the Japanese new air Committee.

Next was a letter in a strange pink envelope, it was written with a tight cursive.

Dear Lori,

It has been almost ten years sense the Mamodo battle was concluded; I figure its time for a reunion. In two months meet every one in Africa… Egypt. Two months from today, August 17, will be the ten-year anniversary. Enclosed are two tickets to Egypt. Bring your significant other, best friend, or something like that. The hotel will be ready for your arrival.

I look forward to seeing you!

The letter was unsigned, un-addressed.

"How will I let them know I will be leaveing from Sakurajima?" She asked herself looking for the tickets. She gasped looking at the tickets, one way airfare Sakurajima to Egypt, one way airfare from Egypt to Mochinoki. "How on earth did they know?"

Lori gasped and looked out side her window curtain. A large red bird of some species faded into a red glow.

"Was that… A Mamodo? …. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN SPIEING ON ME?!" Lori looked at the letter. She was going to go. A quick though that hadn't pass through her mind in ages, what is Kolulu doing in the Mamodo world?

In the Mamodo Tia, Penny, and Kolulu all sat around a computer.

"This will be fun. Zatch won't know what hit him…" Kolulu sneered.

Unexpected flash to Kolulu and the plotting girls! We Know what penny's got up her sleeve but what about the others?! Yeah this chapter is unusually short. I did a lot of typing today so some how everything ended up getting shorter then expected. Oh well.

Sorry for not up dating last two weeks, honestly I have been having too much fun. D

Who's up next is on my profile. Please review! I don't own Zatch Bell.
