Kmoney: *Jumps into view, singing* Hollywood and Main, Hollywood and Main!
You can go there to get laid! Hollywood and Main! Hollywood and Main!
That's the place where the hookers stay!
Raye: *poofs into view* Shut-up and let the folks read, Kmoney. Nobody wants to hear your hooker song.
Kmoney: Ah....well....sorry...*looks down*
Raye: Oh with the fic!
Chapter 2:
World Tour: Part 2: The Pick-up...
"Sage, I want my money back!" Cye yelled, as he kicked open the door to Sage's room. "Give it back, ya bloody bastard!"
Sage spun around in the leather chair he was sitting. He had an eyebrow arched as he stared at Cye. "What?"
"Yeah. You heard me, give me my money back! You didn't even go and put Mina to sleep last night."
"I did go over there. I told her to go to bed!" Sage explained.
"You may have, but did you tuck her in and kiss her good-night?"
Sage quieted down for a moment and blinked at Cye. "I thought you were kidding when you said that."
Cye laughed and held out his hand. "Did I look like I was kidding? Give it back, now." Sage grumbled and handed the money over. "Thanks to your poor ability to follow orders, Mina won't pick up her phone, and I'm betting she's still sleep. Get Heero and Rowen and go wake her up and pack her things."
Sage got up and walked out, glaring at Cye. "I'll get you later."
A half an hour later...
"What if she's so passed out that she won't hear us?" Rowen wondered.
Sage chuckled dryly. "Don't worry, the rest of the world is also behind that door."
Rowen shrugged and knocked on the door. "Here goes nothin'...or better yet, my paycheck."
Nothing happen. Rowen groaned and knocked harder. Nothing. He growled and banged. Nothing. He huffed and banged several more times. Nothing. "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"
Sage and Heero looked at each other. Heero quietly reached over and rang the doorbell. Rowen started at him surprised and smiled sheepishly. "I forgot about that!"
"Rowen, you're suppose to be smart." Sage joked from behind.
Even though Heero rang the doorbell nothing happen.
"This is getting annoying." Rowen complained. He press the doorbell several more times.
Heero reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a lockpick. He kneeled down and began to fiddle with the lock. Rowen and Sage stared at him and they soon heard a click. Heero turned the door knob and the door slowly opened.
The trio walked inside and looked around. "I don't think anyone's home!"
"Oh my GOD! I knew this would work!" squeaked a voice.
Four girls popped up out of Mina's bedroom and not one of them were Mina. They all smiled at the three men and waved.
"If you guys were here then why didn't you open the door?" Sage asked, annoyed.
"That's breaking and entering." Amy stated. "Now my clients behind me will say nothing of it if you go on dates with them."
"Ahh, do we have to?" Rowen whined.
"And where the hell is Mina?" Sage followed up.
"Yes, and she's still sleep." Amy answered.
"Well, we'll have to make those for when we get back." Heero explained.
"Hey, whenever is fine for me!" Serena swoon.
"I thought you had a boyfriend?" Sage asked, giving her a strange look.
Serena winked. "What the man doesn't know won't hurt em."
He shrugged. "I guess so."
"Hey, guys?" a voice mumbled from inside the bedroom.
"What's up?" Raye called back.
"SHUT-UP!"
Raye blinked and looked at Mina's doors. "You shut-up!"
"Oh, don't make me make you shut-up!"
Sage groaned. "Hey!"
Silence soon followed and Sage continued.
"Our next paychecks are on the line here. If we don't get Mina and leave then we're all gonna be broke for a week."
"Don't tell me that's...?" Mina practically dove out of her room to see who was at the door. "Sage!?"
Sage grinned and folded his arms. "Yes, I'm Sage. This is Rowen, and this is Heero. Say hello guys."
"Hey." Both Rowen and Heero greeted; Rowen giving a small wave; Heero nodding.
Mina begin to frown. "This can't be good. Did Cye suddenly decide that the nighttime wasn't good enough for him and now I have morning hours too?"
"Ugh...no." Rowen answered. "Don't ever mention it to him though. He might consider it."
"Okay, then what are you doing here?"
"We can't come over just to say hello?" Rowen asked, a hint of sadness in his voice.
"No." Mina replied, very much angry. "Now what's going on?"
Heero cut in before Rowen could continue. "Listen, boss, we need you to pack for a very long trip."
Mina quirked an eyebrow in confusion. "What?"
"Remember what I said yesterday?" Sage reminded.
Mina thought back....
[Mina's thought bubble]
{Sage is standing at the door in a clown suit making balloon animals with one hand and juggling with the other, Serena is eating a Eiffel tower high ice cream cone, Raye is setting random fires, Amy is rambling about smart stuff, and Lita is beating up a bunch of ninjas and cooking at the same time. Mina herself is standing there being completely normal and looking at everyone a little worried.
"What a bunch of idiots?" she says.}
[End thought bubble]
Sage stared at Mina and could only wonder what she was thinking about. He decided he'd better tell her. "Mina, we're going on vacation. Remember?"
Mina snaps back to reality and nods. "Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Good thing I did!" Amy yelled from behind. She was tucking at something in a closet and pulled it out. It was a large suitcase. She then reached into the closet once more and pulled out two more smaller suitcase. "I packed for you since you forgot to."
Mina scratched her head. "No wonder I couldn't find my favorite pair of pjs."
"Well, looks like were all ready!" Rowen announced. "Let's go already!" He grabbed two suitcases and bolted out the door. Sage grabbed the last one and followed.
"Heero, get Mina!" Sage yelled.
"Can I get ready first?" Mina asked.
"Sorry, boss, we're rushing." Heero replied and tossed Mina over his shoulder. Lita happily gave him her jacket and he was off.
"Hey, you guys, go home!" Mina yelled as Heero walked down the stairs. "And lock up please. Someone feed Artemis. Take him home! And lock up!"
"You said lock up already!" Serena yelled after her, hiding her laughter.
"I know that! I just don't want you to forget!"
"Bye Mina! Have fun!" Lita waved.
"I will, thank you! Lock up!"
"Shut-up!" Raye snapped. "Keep it up and we won't lock up and that freak from down the hall will be looking through your drawer again."
"Umm...Raye?" Amy started.
Raye looked at Amy and Amy pointed off to the side. Raye followed her finger and saw the freak from down the hall. She blinked and looked at her watch. "Well, I guess we should go lock up now." She quickly walked into Mina's apartment whistling.
The freak from down the hall looked down at the ground and while he was doing so the others went inside and slammed the door. No one was about to cheer him up. After all, he was the freak from down the hall.
Raye: *poofs into view* Shut-up and let the folks read, Kmoney. Nobody wants to hear your hooker song.
Kmoney: Ah....well....sorry...*looks down*
Raye: Oh with the fic!
