Author's Notes: I understand that my musical references are very out of
date. That's what happens when time passes; I wrote these parts of the
story over a year ago, and even then the songs were fairly old. On another
topic, Sirocco is a hippy/arty/fancy store near where I live. It's not
necessary to know what I'm talking about when that's mentioned.
Who are: The Wiggles? They're a very happy Australian band for kids, probably the best (or at least the most well-known) kids band in the country. Their songs are as catchy as hell. I think all of us have caught ourselves singing, "Wake up Jeff! Everybody's wiggling!" if only because the thought of everybody wiggling is damn funny. Yes, I know the chance of any of these characters knowing who these people are is slim to none, but it's my universe.
A semi-question: Is Australia the only country where 'bucks' means 'dollars'? If it is, then remember... bucks means dollars.

Halfway through Clark scorching 'The skegs' into everyone's arm with his super sonic burning vision, their food was delivered to them, two hours after it had been ordered. But they were all so happy to have it that they didn't bother complaining, just inhaled it all in fifteen seconds. Everyone, that is, except Clark. He was still very upset about not getting his favourite meal, but was beginning to accept it. He slowly slurped his Fanta, and started singing in his head like so many people before. Oh, how he wished he had his burger.
"I think", Gohan announced to everyone, "that it's time for as to return to the bus. We've been here for a long time already, and we haven't found any of the Dragon Balls yet. That kind of disappoints me."
"Oh, shove it up your arse", spat Clark. "You're such a dick head."
"I think that's quite enough", Gohan replied. "All those in favour of returning to the bus, say aye!"
There was many an aye to be heard from everyone except Clark, who sat silently with his arms crossed. What a baby.
"Yeah, let's go! Waterslides!" exclaimed Mulder. "But first I have to go to the little boys' room. I'm going to pee! What fun!"
And so Mulder went to the little boys' room. After he was done with that he remembered to wash his hands. Looking into the basin Mulder spied a golden tennis ball with one red star on it. Excited, he picked it up, washed it off, and ran from the bathroom screaming, "The British are coming! The British are coming!"
Everyone stared over at the crazy man holding the golden tennis ball. Gohan suddenly became very excited.
"Mulder, you crazy fool!" he exclaimed. "You've found the first Dragon Ball!"
Suddenly everyone became much more excited. Lois gave Mulder an arse squeeze, Matt gave him a great, big, gay-looking hug and Buffy shook his hand so hard that she broke one of his fingers. Luckily Mulder didn't mind.
After Mulder's fingers had been bandaged, and the Dragon Ball had been placed in a tissue filled shoebox, everyone finally reboarded the bus. Quami pulled out a notebook and wrote down the place that Mulder found the first of what should end up being seven Dragon Balls. They all took their seats, and Matt started the bus. A cheer went up from those in the back because Spike had started a strip show to the Spice Girls music that had begun to play when Matt started the bus. But with his pants still on Spike got bored, and sat down in his seat next to Buffy.
"Excuse me", said Linka, "but would it be possible to put on my CD this time? It's only a single, it won't last very long."
"Of course!" said Matt. "Bring it up the front here and put it on!"
Linka skipped right up to the front of the bus and stopped when she got to the Super Special Bus CD System. She removed Spike's Spice World CD, put it in it's case, and threw it across the bus to him. Spike caught it in one hand, in a truly spectacular way. Then Linka put in her CD single and pressed play. On came that kickin' Steps hit, "5,6,7,8"! Everyone jumped from their seats, got into lines, and started to do that boot scootin' dance that everyone loves so much. They were all moving their hips and dancing around. Everyone had so much fun that when the song came to end Matt replayed it, and each person kept up the fun until it was over again.
When all that was done Linka took her CD back and put it away.
"Does anyone else have any other music we could listen to?" asked Marti.
"I have a few more in my backpack", said Spike, as he pulled out one of those cat-shaped CD racks from his purple backpack. "Isn't this great! I got it from Sirocco last week for fifty bucks! What kind of music are we in the mood for?"
"Something happy!" said Wheeler, who hadn't said anything for a long time.
"And something that's good for dancing to", added MacGuyver.
"Alrighty", said Spike. "I have the perfect CD for you."
Spike ran to the front of the bus and started the CD. On came The Wiggles! Everyone jumped out of their seats again as "Big Red Car" played. Fat Naked Riley began to sing along, jiggling his fat body in such a way that slightly resembled dancing.
"Toot toot, chugga chugga, big red car. We'll travel near and we'll travel far! Toot toot, chugga chugga, big red car. We're gonna ride the whole day long, a-boom boom boom boom. Woo!" the Fat and Naked one sang.
Everyone was shaking their booty and it was just too much.
Three Hours Later
After the Wiggles CD ended, Spike had played the new Aqua album, which is far better than the first one. The skegs had a whole lot of fun dancing to that, and when that ended Spike played the new Silverchair one, "Neon Ballroom", which of course far surpasses BOTH of the old two. When that was finished, Spike put on one of his favourite CDs, "More ABBA Gold". Everyone was currently listening to "When I kissed the teacher", because my God did it bring back memories. Fat Naked Riley was still singing along, and doing a mad dance that looked like a great, fat bird trying to take off.
"One of these days... I'm gonna tell him I dream about him every night!" he sang, then continued, "one of these days... I'm gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson, all right."
By this time the bus had been driving for a long while without any sort of bathroom break. In fact, Snaps had wet his pants half an hour earlier and was too embarrassed to tell anyone. Finally Matt decided to take the initiative (no, not THE Initiative, of Sunnydale fame) and announced that he would be stopping at the next rest stop.
"Yay!" cheered Clark, as he had just finished the last level of the Aladdin game on his lime green Gameboy without cheating, for the first time ever.
Mulder, who had been asleep on the bus floor drooling, sat up suddenly.
"How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?" he asked slowly.
"Three-and-a-half!" yelled everyone who had seen that movie. So just the Planeteers, then.
Mulder fell back onto the floor, snoring loudly, as Matt stopped the bus.
