Episode 3- Money? It's Not Our Fault!
"Nago, pass the apples."
"Sure," replied Nago, handing the bowl of fruit to Sirrus. The two were sitting to the side of a
road, having lunch underneath the shading trees of the western forest.
"Mmm. Delicious," complimented Sirrus, popping two apples into his mouth at once and
swalling them whole.
"Man, the things you can do with your mouth," uttered Nago sarcastically. Sirrus grimacedc and
hit Nago in the head with an apple. Nago smiled.
"Take this!" he shouted, hurling his backpack at the demon. It flew over Sirrus' head and into
the forest. Nago sweatdropped and Sirrus started laughing. "You'd better go find your pack!"
Nago groaned and ran off into the woods to find his backpack. Sirrus stood up and begin to pack
up his things.
A car zoomed down the forest road. Inside, a pretty young girl around the age of sixteen was
driving and listening to music over her radio.
"Oh yeah, can't you see..."
Sirrus turned as he saw the hover car headed straight toward him. He stared in shock as it
zoomed toward him. The girl looked up from adjusting the radio and screamed. Sirrus held his
hands forward as the carrammed into him. Dust flew all over the place, knocking gravel through
the air. When the girl opened her eyes, she saw Sirrus' hands implanted in the front of her car.
The car made a whining noise and dropped to the ground.
The girl opened her eyes to find herself staring straight into those of a large, menacing, blue
figure. The automatic reaction was to scream.
"AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sirrus looked at the girl in surprise. The girl kept screaming, pulling out her purse and flinging it
at the demon. "Here! Take it! I have thirty dollars- that's all! Just take it and don't hurt me!"
Sirrus' expression remained confused. The girl curled up into a little ball in the front seat of her
car and started crying. Nago emerged from the forest with his backpack and walked up to Sirrus.
He looked at the girl in the front seat. "What did you do to her?" he asked.
"I don't know," responded Sirrus.
The girl stopped crying and looked up at the six foot tall demon and the five foot four inches
little boy. "Oh great! He has a partner!" she cried out. Nago looked down at the purse lying near
Sirrus' feet.
"Wait! You think we're robbers? We aren't theives!" smiled Nago.
The girl calmed down a little. "You... aren't?"
"Nope. We're looking for the master of the martial arts!"
The girl looked at the two for a second, still trying to make sense of the situation. Then her
expression turned to one of anger. "WHAT?! YOU WRECKED MY CAR, YOU TWO
GOONS!!"
Sirrus shrank back. "He didn't mean to," noted Nago.
"I DON'T CARE!! YOU JERKS BROKE MY CAR!! THAT THING COST A LOT OF
MONEY, AND I EXPECT YOU TO PAY ME BACK IN FULL!!!"
Sirrus grinned uneasily. "Well, we would... if we had any money with us at the moment."
"YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY?! YOU JERKS!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO,
BREAKING MY CAR AND THEN STIFFING ME LIKE THIS!!"
"Hey, if you want to tag along for a while, I'm sure we'll get some money eventually."
The girl started to scream again, but instead calmed down and cleared her throat. "Fine. I won't
let you two out of my sight until I get paid back for the damage, though."
Sirrus smirked. "Yeah. Well, come on, it's a long walk to the next town."
The girl facefaulted. "We have to walk?!"
"Yes. We don't have a hovercar or anything. And when we get there, we'll see what we can do
about your money."
"Fine."
Nago whispered to Sirrus. "Sirrus, we have absolutely zero dollars. How are we ever going to
pay her?"
Sirrus smiled and whispered into Nago's ear. "Don't worry. I have a plan."
Sirrus turned around and looked at the girl. "By the way, what's your name?"
The girl leered at Sirrus. "My name's Zaki for your info."
She started walking and bumped into Nago. "Hey, watch it kid!"
"Kid?! I'm fourteen!"
"So? I'm sixteen!"
Nago, Sirrus, and Zaki hiked down the forest road, Sirrus knowing in his mind that this trip
wasn't going to be a friendly one.
-------------------------
In a few hours, Nago and company arrived at Cider Town, a small, suburban village located near
a large river. It was decorated with beautiful flowers in the windows, doorframes, and lamp
posts.
"Wow. How pretty," observed Zaki as the trio headed toward a little hotel at the end to the road.
"Whatever," said Sirrus. Zaki twitched with irritation. "And I suppose you could think of
something more beautiful than a town full of blossoming flowers?"
Sirrus replied quickly. "Sure I could."
"Well, what would that be?"
"A really hot girl."
Zaki punched Sirrus in the head. Sirrus fell forward, landing on his face. Nago took a step back
as the injured demon jumped to his feet. "Hey! What was that for?!"
"Is a hot girl the only thing that interests a pervert like you?!"
"Shut up!" shouted Sirrus, scratching his bruised head.
"Jerk!"
"Well, a hot girl sure would be a decent chnage from the UGLY girls around here."
"WHAT??!!" screamed Zaki, smashing the nearest thing, Nago, in the head. Nago careened to
the side and passed out.
Sirrus groaned. "Great. Now I have to carry something."
Sirrus and Zaki entered the hotel and sat down in the lobby while they waited for Nago to wake
up.
"Ow. Why did you hit me so hard?"
"You deserved it."
Nago looked at her with a confused expression.
---------------------
"So you had money after all," said Nago as he sat on his bed.
"Nope. I snaked some cash out of Zaki's purse," the demon responded in a pleased voice.
Zaki walked into the room. "Too bad you couldn't afford two bedrooms."
Sirrus smiled. "Hey, we need to save all of our money to buy you a new hovercar. At least we
can relax and refresh ourselves."
Zaki sat on her bed. "I guess that's true. I get this bed, so one of you will have to sleep on the
floor, cause I won't share it with either of you."
Sirrus laughed at the thought. "Who would want to sleep with you?"
"Shut up!"
"To think that it's gonna be like this all the time," thought Sirrus.
"Nago, pass the apples."
"Sure," replied Nago, handing the bowl of fruit to Sirrus. The two were sitting to the side of a
road, having lunch underneath the shading trees of the western forest.
