The lack of ideas that usually crowd your mind, driving you crazy sometimes…gone…I hope you all can forgive me for being late. If this chapter is totally horrible, *sniff* you'll know why.

The Black Ninja: I agree! *knees and looks reverently to heaven* Thank-you for the cell-phone up there!

Henry's fan: Eep! *stares at the big knife* Don't hurt me! Or Rioko! (but if you do, I know a fantastic funeral ceremony) Kidding! I writing, no need to hurt anyone!
JudgeDP: *gasp* ouch. I think Ikki heard that….
Gundum M: Do you want to short or long answer? Erika was trapped, with a wall, very 'thick' wall behind her and a huge blob of pudding in front of her that swallowed up everything in it's path. If she could have transported Brass, Brass would have been stick with her since blowing up the wall would have probably hurt Erika more then the pudding, and blowing up the pudding would have done nothing else but to encourage it to grow faster. Clear? Good!
JudgeDP: I would have thought that the huge blush they had would have made it clear, they were lip to lip. Poor poor you, having no pudding…*takes a huge bite of pudding* Poor poor you.
Medafan: As I said before…WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!? *cough* sorry about that. Wait, no I'm not.
AnT: Yeah! Give me pictures! I love pictures! Don't scare Terra or Max….to much….
Brian Perry: Awww….posting up my story on your site? I'm e-mailing you soon! Post it! And thanks for not stealing it. That would have hurt. Given me an emotional scar…teared me apart…you can ignore me if you want.
Takhirinuko: Yeah, I agree, it is good to keep a bit of childhood with you. Sometimes I feel as if I should grow up and stop watching cartoons and anime, but then I watch a show and fall in love with the anime or cartoon all over again. I can't give it up. Thanks for the good luck, I really hope you like this new chapter! ^-^
Medafan: tsk, tsk tsk, you need an e-mail address to register, otherwise, how would people be able to send e-mails of praise to you? *reads other review* ACK! Don't take my comics! Or my Koji Plushe! *whimpers and holds the Koji Plushe tight* It's mine! Mine! You can't take it! ^-^
Again, I'm sorry for getting this out soooo late, thanks to everyone who waited patiently *glares at impatient reviwers* and now for the disclaimer:
Disclaimer: Story, MINE. Pudding, MINE, crazy pudding chief, MINE, everything, sadly, isn't mine. *sigh* oh well, I can always dream their mine….
And now, on to the story! ^_~!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Erika counted the number of creaks on the wall…for the fifteenth time.
'Yep, 163. Just like before.'
"WAHHH!" A loud wail interrupted her thoughts. She turned her eyes to the chief, still on the floor, and still crying his mind out, while wailing about the injustice and something she didn't bother to pay attention too.
"Why me? What have I done?" The chief cried out dramatically.
"Maybe bore kids to death." Erika heard Ikki mutter under his breath.
The chief's face turned a bright red/purple as he turned and faced the medafighter.
"What….did…you…say?" He asked, his voice dangerously low.
Ikki stood up and walked right up to the chief.
"I said that you bore kids to death! Clear enough for you?" He asked mockingly.
The chief rose, glaring at Ikki, in his hand the microchip.
"I have this. I invented it. Let's see what you've done kid." He asked.
Ikki opened his mouth to respond when a loud laugh was heard, echoing through the house.
"How about letting me see that." A soft voice said. Suddenly a masked figure popped up out of the darkness.
"It's the Phantom Renegade!" Erika gasped, taking pictures left and right.
The Phantom raced forward and grabbed the microchip out of the chief's hand. Racing towards the nearest window, he waved the chip mockingly at them before jumping out.
"NOOOOOOO! MY PUDDING! NOT AGAIN!" The chief screamed, running after the Phantom. Koji and Karen ran after him, going out through front door like civilized people. Ikki and Erika took a quick glance before jumping out of the window for a quicker exit.
Unfortunately, they forgot that the area was extremely slippery.
"Opps!" Erika yelped as her foot slipped out from under her. She crashed painfully into Ikki, who was ahead of her.
A large cloud of dust arose and faded out, reveling a most interesting sight.
…
…
…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Should I tell you? *thinks hard* hmmm….we'll I think it would be nice to tell you, and since I'm a Canadian, and naturally very nice *^-^* I think I'll continue…Just ignore me…dum de dum dum….
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Oh my gosh.'
'WOOOOOOW!'
Erika looked up at Ikki's eyes, which were opened wide.
They were kissing, lip to lip, a smackaroo.
"Ikki! Erika! Don't be like that all day, come on, we have to catch the Phantom." Brass called from behind a bush, waiting impatiently for her medafighter to hurry up doing…whatever it was she was doing.
"Unless…you want to be like that all day." Medabee said cheekily, popping up beside Brass.
Erika and Ikki hurriedly broke apart, their faces redder then a tomato.
"Let's go then." Ikki quickly said, running off, a small smile apparent on his face.
Erika stood their shell-shocked at the thought of what had just transpired.
'Did he kiss me? Did I kiss him? OH MY GOSH! YAHOO!' Erika felt a tugging on her arm. She looked down dreamily at Brass, who had a worried expression on her metal face.
"Are you all right Miss Erika? What did Ikki do?" She asked naively.
"Brass…I think…I think I'm going to go…yeah…go report…something right now…." Erika said, walking in a daze in the direction Ikki ran in.
Brass turned to Medabee.
"I don't get it, what is it with humans? When their lips connect they go all crazy." Brass said, confused.
Medabee got a mischievous look on his face.
"Well, it goes something like this…."
Medabee dramatically grabbed Brass by the waist, swung her downwards, and gave a small peck on the lips, before swinging her upright again.
Brass felt her circuits sizzle and her transistors go into overload……in otherwords, she blushed.
"O-O-Ok-kay…" Brass said, feeling dizzy.
"Alright! So let's find the Phantom!" Medabee yelled, running in the direction that Ikki and Erika had gone.
Brass breathed in deeply before regaining her bearings.
"What a second Medabee! Wait for me!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"COME BACK WITH MY PUDDING!"
The Phantom smiled. 'Never.' He thought to himself.
"Stop!"
Phantom looked up, ahead of him was Ikki and Erika.
Looking to the left he saw Brass and Medabee, looking to the right was Karen and Koji, and behind him was Doctor Aki and a very angry chief. They had effectively cornered him, without him, the Phantom realizing it.
"Not good."
Looking up for a sign of his balloon, he was met with disappointment as he remembered a sign posted next it.
'Taking Holiday, will be back Monday.'
"And today's Sunday." The Phantom hung his head and rose his hands in defeat, when an idea popped into his mind.
"Have you given up?" Erika called from a safe distance.
"Yes." He said, grinning behind the mask.
"Give me back my chip!" The chief shrilled behind him.
Phantom gave twirled and gave the chief a dramatic bow.
"As you wish." He said, carelessly tossing the chip towards the chief.
"Catch it!" The gang yelled as the chief jumped with tremendous force and caught it in mid-air.
*click* Erika gave a sigh of satisfaction. "What a great shot."
"Who are you Phantom? The public has the rights to know." Erika said, coming up closer to the Phantom.
"And why were you stealing the pudding, you're known for stealing only rare medals." Ikki said, coming up closer with Erika.
"And why did you have to ruin my grand moment of pity?" The chief said, sniffing.
The Phantom turned to the chief and cringed when the chief wiped his nose with his cape.
"Do you mind, these things don't come cheap you know." He snapped at the chief.
"Besides, I'm not the Phantom." The Phantom said. Thoroughly enjoying the shock and stares everyone gave him.
They all looked to each other in confusion.
"What do you mean your not the Phantom, who are you? Show us!" Erika said.
"Only if you promise to never make mention of this to me, or to not hold it against me." The Phantom said mysteriously.
"Promise." The group said in chorus. Erika with a slight smile on her face, she had crossed her fingers behind her back.
"Alright then…"
The Phantom slowly removed his mask, his face still hidden with his long hair.
Slowly the Phantom cleared his hair out of his face.
"Oh. My. Gosh."
"Is that who I think it is?"
"HENRY????"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Henry gave a sigh.
"Yes, it's me, is it really that hard to believe?" He asked them.
Erika opened and closed her mouth, similar to that of a fish. Seeing as Erika couldn't speak, Ikki spoke instead.
"Yes. I mean, no, I mean, well, you're just not the type to go around town in a cape stealing rare medals." Ikki told him, staring with pure amazement that Henry, Henry who works at a grocery store, would actually steal.
"I told you I'm not the real Phantom." Henry snapped at them, making them jump back a few feet. Henry took in a deep breath and continued.
"I only posed as the Phantom in order to get his," Henry pointed to the chief. "Pudding recipe and save my store from him." Henry finished, pointed staring at Doctor Aki and his pudding stained shirt.
Erika immediately snapped back to life.
"So you mean, you posed as the Phantom to steal the recipe, then you gave it to Karen, who didn't know what it really was, so she could make it for Doctor Aki, so he could eat that instead of running you business to the ground by eating up all your stocks of pudding?" She asked in one long sentence.
"Yes."
"COOL! Pose for me! Perfect! Alright stand beside Doctor Aki, Beautiful!" Erika cried taking pictures by the dozen.
"I'm sorry if I ruined your date." Henry said absentmindedly.
"It wasn't a date." Erika and Ikki said at the same time.
Henry looked to them with mild surprise.
"I was talking to Koji and Karen." He said, raising an eyebrow.
"Were you two on a date?" he asked curiously.
Erika and Ikki's eyes widened.
"Of course not." They said.
The whole group turned their eyes on them.
"Really? Because if I'm not mistaken, I saw you two kiss the other day." Koji said.
"Yeah! And you two looked soooo cute doing it too!" Karen cooed, hearts in her eyes.
Doctor Aki looked suddenly grabbed Koji and stared at him intently.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Karen asked.
"Is that a lipstick mark my boy?" Doctor Aki asked, staring at a small red line which was smeared across Koji's cheek.
Koji reddened. "Of…course….not…what makes you think…that?" He asked, squirming slightly under Doctor Aki's strong grip.
"Lipstick marks! Oh boy!" Erika zoomed in with her lenses to take a better shot with her camera.
"I'm sorry uncle, that must have been me." Karen apologized. Koji hung his head.
"Way to go Karen." He muttered, fully expecting a lecture from Doctor Aki, or worse.
Doctor Aki simply smiled and gave Koji a hug.
"Welcome to the family!" He shouted.
Henry looked at his watch. "I have to go, I need to make a new batch of pudding before tomorrow."
The chief stared at him. "You make pudding?" He asked.
Henry nodded. "Yep."
"Wonderful! Can I walk with you, we could trade ideas." The chief exclaimed.
"And I can give you ideas for you security." Henry added.
The chief and Henry gave the group a wave before walking down to the restaurant to trade recipe secrets and security systems.
Erika glanced at Ikki.
Through everything that has happened, she still didn't know if Ikki liked her. She suspected that he might have a crush on her, but she wasn't sure. Besides, she didn't even know if Karen liked Koji or Ikki yet.
"Well, I have to go home now, or my mom might get mad." Ikki said, waving before leaving.
Medabee walked with Ikki.
"Your mom get mad? Ikki, your mom doesn't have a mad bone in her body." Medabee laughed, his laughter echoing down the streets.
Erika watched as Doctor Aki, Karen and Koji all excused themselves as well, leaving.
Erika looked down at Brass.
"What do you think is going to happen now?" She asked Brass.
Brass shrugged.
"To be honest, I really don't know. But we'll find out tomorrow."
Erika yawned. "You're right. *yawn* it's my bedtime."
Together, Erika and Brass walked home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well? Well? Whatcha think? Good? Horrible? Write me a review!
This is off the topic, but I wanted to share with you all something.
Yesterday, which was April 15th, my Uncle got citizenship of Canada! It was so neat being there and watching his face as he received his citizenship. The judge there was talking about how Canada is so rich from all the diverse peoples populating it. *grin* I was so proud!
Well, thanks for reading, I hoping to get the next chapter out by Friday. Yes, I know that a ways away, but, *grin* you'll live! Review! Review! And I might reconsider…(Yes, I know that's bribery, I'm so mean.)
Review please!
