Sakura in Paris 2
Part Seven: Maze Mishaps

Raye: WHERE IS AMEOBA BOY!!!?!??!
(Ms. Sinic and Max look up in surprise as Her Royal Highness Raye stomps out of her "chambers".)
Raye: Where is my slave?! Where is my wood and water?!?!
Ms. Sinic: Hey! Ameoba Boy is MY slave!!
(Max elbows Ms. Sinic.)
Max: You wanna get yourself killed?!?!
(Luckily, Raye didn't hear.)
Raye (eyes blood-red): WHERE. IS. AMEOBA. BOY?!?!?!?!?
(Ameoba Boy suddenly stumbles into camp, looking as though he's been to Hell and back.)
(Raye jumps on the hapless microorganism and begins to throttle him.)
Raye (As she shakes Ameoba Boy's head back and forth): AND JUST WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?
Ameoba Boy: The green moles.....the bats......the aliens....Ahhh! The aliens! Probes! Saws!!
(Everyone sweatdrops as Ameoba Boy goes swirly-eyed and passes out.)
Everybody: Sure....

{Disclaimer}
Look everybody! It's Wufei from Gundam Wing!!
Wufei: Hey you! Yeah you, Ms.I'm-such-a-good-author! I've got a bone to pick with you! Why do you always have to humiliate poor Ameoba Boy? You treat him worse than you do me in all of your GW fics! Why don't you just back off and leave us alone?!?
(Three shotguns cock loudly. Wufei chuckles weakly at the gun barrels he's staring down.)
Wufei: Oh! Just look at the time!! I've got to go meet Heero and the guys!
Raye (menacing the Gundam pilot with her gun): Say it!
Wufei: Sorry, Raye! Your fics are just great, even if you don't own Cardcaptors!


The next morning, while Madison was still asleep, Sakura left the warm bedroom and knocked timidly on Li's bedroom door.
"Who is it?" Li groaned sleepily as he rolled over in bed and pulled a pillow over his head.
"It's me, Li." Sakura whispered. "Can I come in?"
Not quite comprehending who was outside or what they had just asked, Li groaned a yes through his pillow.
Sakura closed the door behind her with a click and stood waiting for Li to look up; he was currently buried in his pillow.
"Li?"
Li sat up slowly, yawned, and blinked sleepily at Sakura. Suddenly, he was wide awake and very embarrassed.
"AHHHH!!" Li cried, diving under his covers.
Sakura frowned slightly. "And what's wrong with you?"
"You're in my room, at 5:00 in the morning, and I'm barely dressed! Why did you just barge in here like that?!" Li said from under the covers.
"I didn't barge in. I told you I was coming in and you said okay." Sakura pouted angrily.
"You should know I can't think straight at 5:00 A.M.!"
Sakura groaned and tried to pull the covers off of Li, but he held on like Kero with a candy bar. Sakura let go of the sheets and thought for a moment.
Li froze as Sakura climbed into bed beside him.
"Uh, Sakura?"
"Hmmm?" Sakura said softly as she edged closer.
"Just what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm cold, Li. Keep me warm."
Li's head emerged from the bed sheets, with a look of fearful disbelief on his face. Sakura sat back on her heels and giggled.
"I knew that'd get you out!"

Madison lay in her bed, reflecting over what Sakura had told her last night.
"I'm curious, Sakura. Why did Shawn ask to see Ranea about getting a job? Why didn't he ask to see Grannie Marie or Jacque?"
"Because the Orphanage sends people to Ranea."
"But why?"
"Because Ranea can relate with the orphans!"
"You mean-"
"Ranea's an orphan. She's from the Orphanage."

Madison got dressed, grabbed a recharged camera, and opened the door to her room.
Standing there, with a fist raised to knock, was Shawn. He colored crimson and lowered his hand slowly.
"Hi, Shawn! How was your first night?"
"Fine, thank you." Shawn mumbled as Madison closed the bedroom door.
"Uh, I was wondering Madison. I just finished trimming the Maze, and I've got nothing else to do, so I was wondering..... Would you like to go through the Maze with me?"
Madison smiled. "Sure, Shawn! I'd love to!"

"Where's Madison?" Sakura asked Ranea later that day. Ranea giggled.
"Chere` and Shawn went to explore the Maze an 'our or so ago." Ranea said with a wink.
Sakura gasped. "You mean?"
Ranea nodded knowingly. "Exactly!"
"Awww! How sweet!" Sakura cried, stars in her eyes and her hands clasped beneath her chin. "They're such a great couple, aren't they?"

Madison looked up nervously. "Um, Shawn?"
"Yes?"
"Don't you think it's getting awful dark?"
"Yes."
"And it isn't that late, is it?"
"No."
"Then that means there's a storm coming. Maybe we should start back for the mansion. Shawn?"
Shawn looked down nervously, refusing to meet Madison's eyes. "Um, well, to be truthful, Madison, we're lost. We have been for the past hour or so."
"Lost?!?!"
"Yes. There's a small rose bush near the exit, and I haven't seen it anywhere."
"Oh no!" Madison cried, clicking her camera on and focusing in on the cloudy sky. "We're in trouble!"


So, we're going home now. Chucky and the B.O.S., the nerve of them, came to camp to tell us they're leaving to get married in Vegas. Go figure! Well, at least Chucky looked happy. The B.O.S. didn't though. Not with that sharpened garden hoe at her neck. I suppose you could say that she didn't accept Chucky's proposal willingly. *(^-^)*
Max: Come on! Quit yapping, and let's go!
Raye: Shaddup! Who's writing this fic, me or you?
Max: This fic'll be ashes in three seconds if you don't get your arse in action! Help me and Ms. Sinic get these tents in the truck. *(_)*
Ms. Sinic: Hey, Ange? Who's truck is this? Where did it come from? Who in the hell drove it out here?!?
Raye: Don't have a spaz attack, Ms. Sinic! Geez. It's Christopher's truck. We needed a ride, and he had nothin' better to do.
Max & Ms. Sinic: Oh! We see! (Begin winking and fluttering their eyelashes.)
Raye: Shaddup! (Smacks the two of them upside the head with a tent stake.)
Ms. Sinic & Max: Owww!
Raye: Ameoba Boy! Wake up! I'm sure as hell not touching you!
(Ameoba Boy sits up ramrod straight, throroughly scaring Raye and co..)
Ameoba Boy: Sizxxxx! Retailtrunkiksaiyan? Sizxxxxxxxxxxxx!
(Three sweatdrops fall)
Raye & Max & Ms. Sinic: Oooookay..... *(-_-)*
Christopher: C'mon you guys! Hurry up! I'm gonna miss Jerry Springer!
Ms. Sinic: Oh Dear Lord! I forgot to program my tape! *(^O^)*
(Everyone clambers in, Ameoba Boy climbs up, walking as if Frankenstein.)
Ms. Sinic: Step on it, Christopher! I'm not missing today's episode! It's about teenage aliens who cheat on their girlfriends! *(^o^)*
Max & Raye: Aren't all the episodes about teenage aliens who cheat on their girlfriends?
Ms. Sinic: Yeah, but the aliens were never from Planet X before!
(Max and Raye sweatdrop as the truck speeds away out of the forest. Ameoba Boy has the window rolled down and his head stuck through it, his tongue hanging out....)
Ameoba Boy: Snicklefritz!!!
