Hi everyone…eep! *angry mob stares back* *head hangs* I know, I know, I got this out really really late, but hey, I got it out! ^-^ It is kind of short, but. *yawn* it's so early in the morning…. I really am trying hard to make my own deadlines. *shake head* It's kind of funny, I get mad at myself for not finishing up at my own deadline. Oh well, read! And again, I am sorry for making you wait. ^-^

AnT: *wide eyes* O-O…Max and Terra, *shakes head* you two need to just accept it…*hearts in eyes* You look just so CUTE together! Cute! CuteCuteCuteCute! And to Mallory, well, I guess you can cry your eyes out, or squeeze the life out of Terra. (No, not literally, that's Max's job. *wink*) *shrugs* your choice.

DestinyLord7381: Aww…*bows* thank-you, thank-you, I aim to please.

Medafanatic: We didn't go on another trip. And yes, of course you can last this long, it's Wednesday isn't it?

Kawaii Chibi Sora Tenshi: Aww…well, I hope this chapter was worth it as well.

HellRavenmon: Well…no, *deep breath* Actually the duplicating pudding wouldn't have a chance to duplicate inside your stomach because your gastric juices would desolve the natural chemicals that allowed it to duplicate in the place. *exhale, another deep breathe* Therefore, the pudding then becomes digested in your digestive system and end up where all puddings go. No, ew, not there, they all go to pudding heaven, the place where all good puddings go. That answer your question? I hope so. And even though I'm not planning any robattles, and none will probably occur, if they do, I'll be sure to ask for you help, thanks for offering! ^-^

The Black Ninja: I'll try not too! And you *stern glare* Work hard on those stories! You heard me! Work! Work! Work! *hears clicking* NO! Wait! Read my story, then work! Okay? Good!

Silver Reflection: Yum! Pudding is good! Well, we get a small hint of who Ikki and Karen likes/chooses, but you'll have to use your heads and telepathy powers to discover who!

:-/: What if who lost the pudding? I….don't…get it.

Dragon Empress: SUGER HIGH! *bounces off walls* YAY! *silence* okaaaayyy, maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.

Hitoki: Okay people! You have to read Hitoki's story, after mine of course, THIS IS MEDABOT STORY I AM PROMOTING! HEAR ME?!? *cough* ahem, moving on… Hitoki, please, do not send me teletubbies pictures (sorry to all teletubbies fans for the next comment) EVIL! Teletubbies are spawns of EVIL, they go on television ready to brainwash helpless children into saying ridiculously tiny phrases that mean nothing! *shudders* the horror….

Chiquita: Aw..*blush* thank-you. I hope you get well soon! It's horrible being sick.

AnT: Your welcome! It's my pleasure to promote your story, I hope people read it because it's really good. People who haven't read AnT's story I truly recommend it! Read it!

Lyle: Okay, so since you know I'm a romance freak, what kind of freak are you? (not meaning freak in any sense then what you love reading or watching on the tele.) *singsong* I'm a romance freak and I love it!

Rinji aka (tono): Shounen Ai? *shudders* I'm sorry, but I don't do that kind of fic. Sorry to Shounen Ai fans but *makes face* I can't write that fic.

Chibi~Hamsta: The pudding is getting Bigger! You better read!

Medafan: You don't have to pay a fee, you just have to register and then you can choice wither or not you want the special services. For the special services you have to pay money for. I don' pay any money because I choice not to get any special services, so now you can register, okay? And then when you register you can post your stories! Yay! ^-^

Shadow ninja: Thanks! (sorry about saying clif-er-the word at the last chapter.)

TFRiD Queen: I hope this chapter is good too!

To Henry Fan: Rioko: Gillgirl: Neutranurse: Thanks for the reviews! I won't stop writing, don't worry, I intend to finish this story if it is the Last Thing I DO! *chants* I know I can, I know I can, I know I can…..

Medafan: I know I know. No, I wasn't at that internet-free place. And that internet-free place isn't so-called, I had to program the VCR to type my programs because we were away. And I was the first in my family to do it successfully! (that and I was the only person who ever tried to program the timer, but that's beside the point) Sorry about getting this out late, this time, it was my fault.

Disclaimer: *sings* Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! *person in a business suit, briefcase, with a scowl comes in* ummm….*clears throat* Not mine! Not mine! Not mine! *sticks out tongue at lawyer* Can't sue! Can't sue! Can't sue! Hahahahaha! ^_~!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Erika!"

"Erika!"

"Erika!"

"Miss Erika!"

"Come out, come out wherever you are!"

"Where are you?"

"If this is a game of hide-and-go-seek, she wins, no contest."

"EEEERRRRIIIKAAAA!"

Medabee, Brass, Karen, Koji, Doctor Aki, Henry, and Nutranurse all stopped and stared at Ikki.

"Um…are you okay?" Karen asked, gently moving backwards away from the volcanic Ikki and towards a much safer Koji.

"NO! ERIKA IS GONE! LOST! AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Ikki screamed at them, a large gust of wind erupting form his mouth.

"Geesh, if I hadn't known any better, I would have excepted fire to come out of that mouth too." Medabee said dryly, rearranging his missiles which had twisted backwards from the wind.

"Ha, ha. Very funny." Ikki retorted sarcastically marching away from the group.

"Where are you going?" Doctor Aki asked, in his hand a small jar of pudding he brought, so he wouldn't go any more insane then normal. Actually Henry gave him that, Doctor Aki just didn't know it was for that purpose.

"To your house, if I know Erika, and I do, she's probably there." Ikki told him, running off at high speeds.

"Wait for us!' The gang called running after him.

'Where are you Erika?' Ikki thought, pushing himself to run faster then ever.

"Please be safe."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"HE-E-E-E-L-L-L-LP! Some body! ANYBODY!"

Erika growled at the pudding as it gave another 'pop' sound and grew yet another inch.

Bringing the microphone to her lips she began talking to it.

"Well, about two hours have passed since I became stuck in here, and the pudding has grown about ten inches since then. Right now, I'm stuck up against the wall since the closet was too uncomfortable." Erika paused and glanced back into the closet.

"That and now the pudding has trapped me away from the closet."

Erika sighed. This was going to get boring fast.

"Anyway, I tried eating it, but it seemed to only encourage to grow faster, so of course I stopped that idea. Then I tried hacking away chunks of it."

Erika glanced sorrowfully at the hammer now stuck inside the pudding.

"That didn't work. Now I'm trying 'call for help' and see if that works, which it obviously hasn't, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you would I? I can't believe it, I'm actually talking to myself. Help."

Erika took another glance around her. She really was cut off from any escape route that might have been effective. It was only a matter of time, unless somebody rescued her, in which she would be swallowed up by the pudding. She had tried earlier to got through it, but stopped when her body was half submerged in it. It just wasn't worth the mess, that and she soon had run out of air.

"Erika!"

Erika sat up straighter. She had just heard someone call her, hadn't she?

"Erika!"

Erika jumped up in glee. She had defiantly heard that!

"OVER HERE! HELP! OVER HERE!" Erika screamed at the top of her lungs. Soon a familiar and very welcome sight appeared.

"Ikki!"

"Erika!"

Erika and Ikki stopped in mid-stride of running to meet each other when they realized something was in the way.

Pudding.

"Of all things!" Erika muttered darkly at the pudding, stamping her foot on the ground in anger.

The pudding merely wiggled from the vibration and gave another 'pop'.

Erika gave the pudding another dark look.

"Thanks a lot." She told it, well aware of the amount of space she had left. About an inch until the pudding reached her face. Not a nice thought.

"Hang on! We'll get you out of there!" Ikki called, the rest of the group running into the room.

"Oh my goodness!" Karen exclaimed, her hands on her mouth in shock.

"Oh no." Nutranurse moaned.

"Now the pudding will be ruined." Karen said sadly, her face hung downwards.

"What are you talking about?" Koji asked Karen.

"We made that pudding for Doctor Aki, I didn't know it would grow so big so fast."

Erika's eyes light up in spite of the situation.

"So Karen, where did you get this recipe?" Erika asked, rapidly taking pictures, despite the fact her pictures would get blurry with all the pudding in the way.

"Well, I found it on the doorstep. Some nice person must of left it there." Karen told them, her face beaming at the thought.

'pop'

"AH!" Erika screamed, turning, her face against the wall, but feeling the pudding right up against her cheek, no matter how she turned.

"Some help here might not be such a bad idea, guys!" Erika called out, carefully shielding her microphone, tape recorder, camera, and her head away from the blob of pudding.

"Sure thing! Loved too!" Doctor Aki called, giving everyone in the group a brightly coloured spoon.

"Umm…and this is supposed to do what?" Henry asked staring at his bright pink spoon in puzzlement.

"Eat! We have to eat the pudding, nothing else would work. So, dig in!" Doctor Aki told them, rapidly slurping up the pudding with a voracious appetite.

"O-o-o-ka-a-ay."

The group began to eat the pudding, speedily making their way to Erika.

"Heaven!" Doctor Aki declared in-between bits, making his way faster then any other person.

"Erika stared at the group, from her plastered-face-in-the-wall view.

'Okay, it's official' she thought wryly,

'They're all crazy.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Poor Erika, about to be engulfed in pudding and the only thing anybody can do is eat their way to rescue her, not that Doctor Aki is complaining.

This time I'll try to get the next part out by Thursday. *chants* I know I can, I know I can, I know I can…
