Disclaimer: I am still not making any money off of this and nobody has yet tried to sue me. I am very glad that I'm onto the fifth chapter (not including the disclaimer chapter) in my fic and am hoping for at least ten more. I'm sorry, but my list of possessions has dwindled further and I am out a tampon, three fingernail clippings and half a fishing hook. On the plus side, I found a hairless rat or cat along the highway, a piece of paper with a ransom on it, and a half eaten moldy old wedge of cheese. I'd offer it out to the poor, but… IT'S MINE! THEY CAN'T HAVE IT!!!!!!! : sniffs cheese: Whew! On second thought… Oh yeah, on with the fic!





A half hour later, Flame impatiently knocked on the bathroom door. The force of the knock would be hard enough to render a small child comatose.

"Duo?! Are you done yet? We have to get going!"

"I'm almost done!"

"What are you doing in there? Making your own soap?"

"OMG! You HAVE a sense of humor! I feel faint…"

"Duo… I swear, if you aren't out in five minutes, I'm breaking this door down, grabbing you and a towel, grabbing you some random clothes, and forcing you dry & clothed!"

"Hey, that's not a bad idea…"

"Duo, if I have to do that, I will make the short time that we spend together a complete hell for you. Got it? I may even do permanent damage…"

"No! Not that! Anything but that! Not to my dear ol' buddy!"

"Yes, I'll cause your buddy to shrivel up and die. You'll be minus a buddy."

"I'll be right out."

"I thought so." She said and turned from the door. She had a lot to do; pack up the majority of her weapons, which were piled about a foot high on the table, make sure there was no trace that she had been there, all her stuff was packed up, and that Duo got out in… four minutes now. Turning to the tasks at hand, Flame carefully placed every gun, bullet, and time bomb device(s) in its rightful place in her back overnight bag. She looked at the clock again and saw that time was running out. 'Damn, it's almost 8:40. The park opens at 9:00. We have a two hour drive in front of us and Trieze will expect me to check in with him at 9:15. Hurry up!'

"I'm out; I'm dry, dressed and ready to go." Duo announced, plaiting his damp hair.

"Good. Did you bring anything?"

"No, all I have are my clothes and the room keys."

"Get in the car. I'll turn in the keys and then we're out of here."

"I'll turn in the keys madam, if you don't mind, that is."

"Alright, but go now and meet me out front. I'll be waiting."

"Okay, and I'm getting on it now ma'am." He said with a lopsided grin and exaggerated wink. He slid from the room before the wet towel she threw had a chance to hit him.

"Baka." She said laughing and grinning. Flame finished her packing and left the room. She hopped into her convertible and drove to the front desk. She saw Duo and the look of astonishment on his face as he trotted over to her.

"Um… Whose car is this?"

"Mine. Is there a problem?"

"No. I just didn't know… Where did you get this?"

"Technically it isn't mine, but for now, it is. It'll work, now get in. We got a long drive ahead of us…"

Duo jumped into the passenger's seat and turned to Flame. He grinned evilly and said, "Let's see how fast this baby can go!"

Flame laughed (like peeling bells [A/N: What do those sound like?] as it rings off the mountain stream…) and returned the grin. "We're going to DisneyLand!" And she put the petal to the metal, peeling out of the motel and onto the open road…
