Chapter 9
*echoes in pinkertown*
So, we headed for the factory.
But,night was falling quite quickly and we had to rest.
We stopped in another little town.
"Pinkertown. Population: You!" read Kimi.
"Really funny"croaked Alexander.
"Well,let's go! A little rest never hurted anyone."finished Lana.
The town was desert.Cobwebs were hanging everywhere.
"Listen up, I have the creeps. So, let's sleep and go to the factory after"whispered Christopher.
"Same here!"others voices added.
No need to vote, we were fixed. We'll stay in Pinkertown for a while.
We went in the "Pinkertown inn". Besides the dust and cobwebs, the inn was fine.
Apollomon used his flare buster to start a fire in the fireplace. The shadows of the flames were dancing on the walls.
We were chatting, Lupe was about to fall asleep on Mika's shoulders when we saw some lights across the street, in the "Lucky ace's bar"
"Theives"said Christopher."They attack during the day on the desert road and they let their possesions in small desert towns like this one"
"How can you be so sure?"I said
"I'm not sure. Come with me."he said
Artemon, Delirimon, Christopher and I entered the saloon.
"Howdy, strangers" a voice cackled.
We saw a huge horse creature coming near us.
"I'm Pegasusmon. And who are you?"the golden horse said.
"I'm Butch Cassidy and she is Calamity Jane"Christopher said.
"Really funny."said a young girl.
She pointed a gun to Delirimon's head.
"Don't make a move. I know who you are. I challenge you to a duel."cackled the outlaw.
"We don't have guns."said Artemon.
"Who speak about guns? I challenge you...to a musical challenge"
That's no good. I never played any instruments. I look at Delirimon, who looked at me.
"Can Artemon sings?"he asks.
"Maybe...I don't know"I replied
"Well...I played flut when I was in marching band in High School. The problem is, I only know a couple of songs."finished Christopher.
"I'm willing to sing, Chrissy."replied Artemon.
"Well...fine. There are musical instruments in the other room. Get ready for the duel!"finished Pegasusmon.
Both artists left the stage.
I moved near the young girl and asked her what was the prize.
"If you win, we don't hang you. If we win, you're be six feet under in a while."she told us.
"I hope Christopher didn't forget how to play...Oh well. At least, if he did forget, that will give me one more reason to hate him."said Delirimon.
"Delirimon!Stop it."I shouted.
"Okay,fine...but,the fact we get out of here alive won't change the fact he's the worst partner I could get."the illusionist said.
Our challenger climbed on the stage with her guitar. She sat on a chair and sang some rockabilly song. The other bandits must have loved it because they warmly applauded her after her warm performance.
Then, I saw Artemon on the stage. Christopher was right behind her, holding a silver flut. He sat on the chair and played the first notes.
Artemon started to sing.
"There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder."
And so on(You didn't expect me to write all the lyrics, did you?).
It was marvelous. The crowd cheered. Artemon's voice was like crystal.It was high yet not too high and low yet not too low at the same time.
We understood we won the singing challenge.
"It was pretty good, I must admit."the lady replied. "My name is Jazz. Let's say I was fated for music."
Pegasusmon went near us and shrank. Surprising, it turned into a mechanical ladybug.
"This is DeejayTentomon, a variety of Tentomon who got a better sense of hearing than the average ones."Jazz said."When I arrived here, the bandits took care of me. Let's say I owned them something. And,you? Who are you?"
"I'm Holly, the bird is Artemon, the little animal is Delirimon and the pied piper of Hamelin is Christopher."I said.
"So,where are you going?"asked Jazz
"We were supposed to head to Giromon's factory but, some of us needed to rest. They're in the hotel."Delirimon told us.
"In the inn? Fine,we'll get them"the red-haired teen said."We'll come with you. You need protection."
"Are you sure?"asked Christopher.
"Yes"replied Jazz.
We went outside and we saw....the inn was on fire.
"Oh my sweet lord!"DeejayTentomon said
"They were...in this inn?"asked Jazz. "We need to find them back!"
NOTE:Song was "Stairway to Heaven", by Led Zeppelin, if you didn't know it, incults.
