"Are we there yet?" Dan asked repeatedly. The other children were also impatient. Instead of beating up Dan they also started to ask "Are we there yet?" The bus trip was way too long for their short attention spans. They wanted to go to the zoo.
"Shut up!" Akuma growled. His voice was loud enough to shake the bus. The children quickly went back to making noise.
"Hey guys. Watch me get the busdriver!" Dan said to some of the other children.
"You're not gonna do anything" Ken said.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yup, you're too much of a scaredy."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Fine. I dare you to do a chi attack on him."
"But what if that causes the bus to crash?"
"Ha, you are scared."
"Am not!"
"Well, I dared you so you gotta do it."
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do."
"Nuh uh"
"Well fine. I double dog dare you."
"That means you gotta do it" Ryu commented.
"Drat" Dan said.
"Well, you were bragging about getting the bus driver."
"Okay. Gadoken!" Dans' little fireball fizzled out before it got anywhere near Akuma. He tried again. "ShinkuGadoken!" This fizzled out after barely touching Akuma. Akuma grunted at the minor annoyance.
"That's nothing" Ryu commented.
"What? I got him" Dan said.
"Um, sure you did."
"That's right."
"Ryu-chan could do much better." Ken said, "Right Ryu-chan?"
"Watch this" Ryu said, "Hadoken!" Ryus' fireball hit Akuma. Akuma stopped the bus and glared. Ryu gulped. His eyes widened in fear. "Gomen nasai, gomen nasai, gomen nasai" Ryu repeated. Akuma was still angry. "Shun Goku Satsu!" He shouted. This brought Ryu down. He was thrown from his seat. Ken ran to him to see if he was still alive. "Ryu-chan, you okay?" he asked. Ryu started to cry. "Itai!" he wailed. The loud bawling greatly annoyed Akuma. "Shut up!" he growled, "and get back to your seat!"
Ken helped Ryu back to his seat. Ryu continueed to whimper. Ken put his arms around him. "You'll be okay, Ryu-chan. I won't let Akuma hurt you anymore" Ken said. Sakura was suddenly next to Ryu. "Yeah Ryu, I won't let the mean old busdriver hurt you either."
"Sakura loves Ryu! Sakura loves Ryu!" Dan chanted.
"We know" everyone else said.
"Ken loves Ryu. Ken loves Ryu!"
"We know" the other children said before starting their own chant, "Dan loves Sakura. Dan loves Sakura. Dan loves Sakura"
"Eww gross" Sakura said.
"Why?" Dan asked.
"Cuz I don't like you."
"You're mean!"
"I think he's gonna cry again" Blanka commented.
"I am not!"
"It's okay, Dan. I like you" Ken said.
"You don't love me?" Dan asked.
"No. I love Ryu."
"Okay"
The children started to chant "Dan loves Ken. Dan loves Ken."
"No, I don't. I love Sakura" Dan said.
"Eww gross" Sakura said.
"Not again. C'mon Sakura, be my friend."
"No way. You're a loser."
The other children agreed. "Fine, be that way." Dan pouted and crossed his arms. He didn't stay that way for very long. He got bored. He started to play Janken Pon with Blanka.
"Why do you always win?" Dan asked.
"You have a obvious pattern. It makes it easy to predict what you're going to do next." Blanka answered.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes"
"Janken Pon!"
Dan held out his index finger.
"Bet you didn't see that coming!" Dan taunted.
"What's that supposed to be?" Blanka asked.
"Um...a...lightning rod?"
"Oh. Okay". Blanka gave hima a small electric shock and said "I win again".
"Why?" Dan asked.
"My lightning beat your lightning rod."
"You don't play fair. I'm gonna play with Sodom." He knocked on Sodoms' armor. Sodom looked at him.
"Wanna play Janken Pon?" Dan asked.
"Sure" Sodom answered. Sodom was alos winning most of the time. A problem with this was that Sodom kept hurting Dan with every victory. When Dan had rock, Sodom crushed his fist. When Dan had scissors, Sodom almost broke his wrist. When Dan had paper, Sodom almost broke his fingers.
The bus stopped. "Are we there yet?" Dan asked.
"Yes" Gen answered. He gave them instructions as they got off the schoolbus.
"Now line up in twos and hold hands, so you won't get lost" Gen said. There were a few complaints about this.
"Vega won't take his claws off."
"Blanka can't take his off."
"Balrog won't take his boxing gloves off"
"Rolento is trying to get me to hold a hand grenade."
"Ow. I think Sodom broke my hand."
There was also an arguement that occured from this. Sakura took one of Ryu's hands and Chun Li took the other.
"He's mine!" Chun Li said.
"No,he's mine" Sakura said.
"Mine"
"Mine"
"Nuh uh"
"Uh girls. Stop fighting over Ryu-chan. He's mine!" Ken said.
"Nuh uh" Sagat said.
A huge fight broke out between these children. The children who weren't fighting wre palcing bets and cheering them on. Gen was able to stop the fight after a few Hadokens hit him.
"If this happens again, we all go back" Gen said.
"Awwwwwwwwwwww!" the children whined in unison.
Gen started to lead them to the various exhibits. "Now children, can anyone name this animal?" Gen asked as he pointed to a chimpanzee.
"Pan troglodytes" Blanka responded.
"Very good" Gen said. Gen continued to ask questions about the zoo animals. Blanka answered most of the questions. He had a particular interest in the animals indigenous to the Amazon.
"Teacher's pet" Dan taunted. Blanka stuck his tongue out at Dan. Blanka growled at anyone else who referred to him as a "teacher's pet".
Chun Li and Sakura suddenly noticed that they were holding eachothers' hands. "Where's Ryu?" Sakura asked.
"I think he wandered away" Chun Li said.
"You lost my Ryu."
"No you did, and he's mine!"
"Mine"
"Mine"
"You scared him away."
"Did not. You did."
"You both did" Sagat said, "Ryu is mine".
"You scared my Ryu-chan away" Ken said.
"Yeah, you scared Ryu" Sakura and Chun Li both said. All three of them attacked Sagat. Gen had to stop them again.
"We find Ryu, then go back" Gen said.
All of the children started to look for Ryu. They went through the various exhibits. Ken found Ryu as he was about to leave the zoo. He ran over and glomped him.
"Ryu-chan!" he said.
"Oof" Ryu responded.
"Where are you going?"
"I wanna go home!"
"Huh? You don't like the zoo?"
"I don't like being fought over. I wanna go home!" Ryu seemed as if he was about to cry. Ken led him back to Gen. Gen scolded him for wandering away. Dan was suddenly tugging on his sleeve.
"Sensei, sensei!" he repeated.
"What?" Gen asked.
"The zookeeper put Jimmy in a cage."
"Jimmy?"
"Blanka. He was put in a cage."
Gen let out an exhasperated sigh. "Where?" he asked. Dan led him to Blanka. Blanka seemed as if he was about to cry.
"I want my mommy" he wailed.
"I want his mommy" Dan said. The other children stared at him. "What?" he said,"I like his mommy. She's nice."
"Don't worry, Blanka. I'll get you out of there" Gen said reassureingly. "Gadoken!" Dan threw his little fireball at the cage. It fizzled out on the bar.
"Children, destroy the cage" Gen said. They all listened to him. The cage was destroyed in a few seconds. Blanka was set free. Dan glomped him.
"Dan loves Blanka. Dan loves Blanka" The children chanted. Blanka growled at them.
"No I don't. I love Sakura" Dan said.
"Eww gross" Sakura said.
"You're turning me down again?"
"Yes."
"Children" Gen said, "It's time to go back". He led them to the schoolbus. The ride back to school was slightly less chaotic than the ride to the zoo.
"Are we there yet?" Dan asked repeatedly.
"Why do we wanna be there?" Ken asked.
"Cuz, after we go back to school, we go home."
"Oh yeah. Ryu-chan, wanna sleep over tonight?"
