"Rather" written by Misty Cornwell

Genre: Humor

Chapter two: Of Aircons and Beer!

Disclaimer: I do not, and never will own VanDread. It belongs to Gonzo. Enough said. ^_^

But my friends and I DO own the game called Rather. What is Rather? Read on to find out!

"…Would you rather Lick the Aircon, or drink four whole bottles of beer?" He smirked. "Hey! Rules also say that if you make two choices without a victim, the one whose turn is it will have to take off a piece of clothing!" Misty pointed at Bart. "Okay, fine!" Bart sneered, removing his badge and slamming it on the table, next to Meia's headpiece. "Darn! I don't like beer!" Misty complained as she moved towards the air conditioner. "Beer! *_*" Jura chanted, as she walked to the bar. "Well, I'll be taking some drinks then." Meia said, following the older, yet less experienced Dread pilot. "Aww, I think beer is yucky!" Dita complained as she licked the Aircon after Misty was done. "Yuck! I swallowed some lint back there!" Misty grimaced as she stuck out her tongue. Hibiki strutted down to the bar, along with Bart to join the two girls. Glug glug glug! "Oh my gosh, Jura, how many bottles have you drank?" Bart was surprised at the drunken blonde woman. "She has drank about six or so…" The bartender chipped in, polishing a wineglass. "What? Jura, you're not supposed to drink that much, only four bottles of beer! Jura? Jura!" He screamed at the already asleep Jura. "She's asleep." Meia told him as she drank her third bottle. "Are you drunk?" Hibiki asked her as he finished his second bottle. "N-no… Hiccups I'm fine…" Meia drank her fourth bottle. "Oh well." Hibiki sighed as he finished his fourth bottle and he too, got drunk.

"Can I have four, please?" Bart asked the Bartender for some beer. "Here you go, Baldie." She chuckled, and hurled the bottles of beer at him. "Hey, don't call me that!" Bart retorted, and opened a bottle of beer. He sips it. "Hey! This is good!" He affirmed, and drank it all in one sitting. "Egads!" Misty was surprised when she saw all three people, lying there drunk. Duero, who decided that drinking beer was a hazard to health, and being a doctor as he is, decided to lick the air conditioner instead. "Oh, my! Uchuujin-san looks sleepy! Mister Doctor, will Mister Alien be alright?" Dita poked the sleeping, drunk Hibiki with a stick. "Darn! Old Witch, Ne-san and Hibiki are all drunk! Now Baldie's drunk! Now how are we gonna play Rather?" Misty complained, with Q frowning as well. "Well, they'll be fine, if they wake up, that is." Duero said confidently. "Okay! Dita will make them wake up!" Dita chips in as she gets hold of a Tuba and starts playing the VanDread theme, which, expectedly sounds like a tormented cat. "Gah! What in the heck is that?!" Jura jerked up from her sleep, really surprised, alert, and startled at the same time. "Dita tried to wake you guys up!" Misty said, her hands cupped to her ears. "Well, it only worked on Jura." Duero added, pointing to the three drunken people leaning on the counter. Then, the door slid open, and came in Parfait and Paiway. "What brings Parfait and Pai here?" Dita asked the engineer woman and the young, childish nurse, still clinging on to her musical instrument.

"Well, we heard this racket and we went here since the sound came from this direction." Parfait exclaimed, scratching her head. "Yeah, and it sounded like a diseased cat! Croak! Croak!" Paiway giggled, holding a Frog Puppet high up in the air. "Hey, I did my best to make Mister Alien, Leader, and Baldie Bart wake up, but only Jura woke up." Dita said, confused. "Well, then. We can help you." Parfait chuckled, with an evil glint in her eyes, or in her case, eyeglasses. "Good idea…" Misty, Dita and Paiway rubbed their hands together, evilly.

(A/N:) So what do you guys think of my story? I really know it needs improvement, since I ain't a professional writer, still in elementary school, (duh! Like, how is a kid gonna get to high school?) And I can be pretty lazy sometimes. But please bear with me, and review my fic. Pretty Please?  O_o Thanks! And read on to the next chapter, "Of Wake up Calls and Laced Dresses!" Bye!
