hiccups gone bad

Zoa: finally updated!

Steven: that took you . . . nearly 2 weeks

Zoa: when school finished, I had to move, so I couldn't get my hands on a computer for a while

Steven: meaning you've been slaking off for quite a while

Zoa : not true! I got a few ideas for my fanfic's and I plan to start writing

Steven: okay . . . so let's not keep people waiting

Zoa: right, on to chapter . . . I forgot. on to the next chapter!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

morning

Zero: great, another busy day

Zero get's up and decides to take a little stroll in the base

Alouette: good morning Zero!

Zero: morning

walk past Servo

Zero: morning

Servo: good morning to you, Zero

then . . .

Zero: morning Cie- O_o?!

Ciel: (very tired voice) oh . . . good morning Zero . . .

Ciel apparently looked all tired

Zero: what happened to you?

Ciel: . . . I didn't get very much sleep last night (yawn) but I'll be okay

Zero: are you sure?

Ciel: positive

Zero: okay . . .

Zero decides to meet with Alouette and ask her what happened last night

Alouette: last night? let's see while I was coloring, Ciel put me to bed, then in the middle of the night I went to get some water and I saw that Ciel still had her lights on

Zero: that doesn't explain much, she was probably working on something important

Alouette: I agree

Zero and Alouette slip into the kitchen to see what's cooking

Alouette: I smell something good

Zero: and I don't want to find out

they go a little farther down into the kitchen

Alouette: look, someone made cornbread

Zero: I'm guessing who made it and don't even want to try it

Alouette: maybe she changed faster then you think?

Zero: . . . if you put it that way, I guess I can try one tinny bit

Zero slices off a piece and eat's it

Alouette: so? how does it taste?

Zero: . . . it was pretty good, and look! my stomach feel's fine!

Alouette: see, what I tell yah

Zero: maybe I can have another *HI-cup!*. . . what was that?!

Alouette: uh, Zero, I think you have the . . .

Zero: *HI-cup!*

Alouette: exactly

Zero: I never had *HI-cup!* before, is it hazerous?!

Alouette: no . . . but it's hard to get rid of

Zero: tell me

Alouette: try taking deep breaths

Zero: okay . . . (inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale) *HI-cup!*

Alouette: darn, if only I was like Ciel . .

Zero: any other methods?

Alouette: let's see . . . oh yes! drinking water!

Alouette prepares a glass of water

Alouette: you have to drink it in a certain way to cure it (bends down) like this

Zero: Alouette . . . your skirt . . .

Alouette: (turns red) Hey! don't look!

Zero: (covering face) okay, so I see how it works

Alouette: good, now you try it

Zero bends down and drinks the water

Alouette: how do you feel

Zero: I feel *HI-cup!!* fi- *HI-cup* -ne

Alouette: argh, I need time to think

Zero: okay, just be quick about it

Zero leaves the kitchen

Zero: I wonder if Ciel knows anything . . .

Zero tries to find Ciel but couldn't find her

Zero: (pant, pant) that took me nearly 20 minutes

Zero walks through the hall to find Ciel on the ground

Zero: . . . am I dreaming, or is this *HI-cups!* creating illosions?

Zero walks up to Ciel and notices, it's the real thing

Zero: uh oh . . . Ciel? Ciel!? Ciel!!

no response

Zero: how's this possible!? I heard of no enemy intruders

Zero also notice some blood sprinked on the floor

Zero: this can't be really happening . . . please, Please! Ciel!

Alouette: there you are! I've been looking all over for you

Zero: Alouette! Ciel's . .

Alouette: I know, I know . . . she could least put herself in bed . . .

Zero: what?

Alouette: see? just look at her and you can tell that she's asleep

Zero: #$*%?!?!?

Zero put's his finger on Ciel's chest and could feel her heart beat

Zero: then . . . what's this (point's at the red fluid)

Alouette: well this is what happened

*flash back*

Ciel: I have to get paper work done and then more computer work . . . I feel so tired (groan)

Alouette: maybe water, doesn't help . . . maybe tomato juice?

Alouette notices Ciel

Alouette: Ciel! what's better to cure hiccups? water or tomato juice?

Ciel colpases

Alouette: Ciel? not a good place for a nap! wakey wakey! (bangs on gong)

Ciel: (sound asleep)

Alouette: great, now Ciel's asleep and I spilled my tomato juice all over the floor. I better clean it up before anyone notices

*end of flash back*

Zero: so this is tomato juice

Alouette: apparently . . yes . . .

Zero: sigh . . . at least it wasn't what I thought it would be

Alouette: now if you'll excuse me, I have to clean up a mess

Zero: right

Zero picks up Ciel and carries her to her bed

Zero: sleep tight

Ciel: . . . . . . zero . . . . . . . z

Zero: . . .

Zero walks out

Alouette: where's your hiccups?

Zero: . . . I don't know . . . I didn't do anything to cure it

Alouette: oh, because being scared or shock can cure hiccups

Zero: why didn't you tell me sooner?

Alouette: because . . . I forgot

Zero: (collapses anime-style)
