CHAPTER 6: Setting Out
Yai's POV:
I woke the next day as my "new" self. I had slept on the floor in my sleeping bag, Meg slept in her bed, and Ryou slept about five feet away from me in Meg's camp sleeping bag. I guess we had been close enough to change me. I quietly crept out of the room, down the hall into the bathroom. I gazed at myself. I looked pretty normal, with spikier short black hair then usual and moderately large brown eyes. "They look like chocolate," I mused to myself. My skin was a little darker than Ryou's, but just a little. I turned around, smiled, and walked downstairs to make pancakes.
Meg's POV:
I yawned and turned over, looking at my bedside clock, which read eight o'clock. Sitting up, I saw that Yai was already up, but Ryou was sleeping peacefully.
Rubbing my eyes, I slipped out of bed and stumbled groggily to my newly rearranged closet. All of a sudden, about halfway across the room, my foot connected with something and I fell face first onto my carpet. Wide awake now, I looked back and saw that the object I had kicked was a slumbering British boy. My foot still lay across his stomach.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" I gasped. I got up and helped him to his feet.
He smiled at me, rubbing his abdomen. "Well, I'm awake now. A rude wake-up call, though."
I smiled back. "Sorry about that. I'm not used to having people's bodies all over my room." Laughing, we walked down to breakfast together.
A wonderful smell greeted us. "Pancakes?" Yai called to us. He walked into the hall holding a spatula and a plate heaped with golden cakes.
Ryou and I cheered, and we all sat down to our delicious breakfast.
"Well, we start today," I said around a mouthful of food. I washed it down with a swig of orange juice. "We should get some supplies together before we leave, though."
We finished up breakfast, cleaned the dishes, and went upstairs. I grabbed my backpack and one from under my bed for Ryou. I saw that Yai already had one. "Watcha got there?" I asked, nodding toward the pack.
He shrugged. "Books and some supplies. Some rope too. You never know when you might need some rope."
"Oooooookay," I said, shoving clothes into mine. "Yo Ryou, you wanna borrow some jeans? I've got some extra ones. And some t-shirts too."
"Sure," he replied, coming over. "Give me a pair and I'll try them on to see if they fit." He took the pants and went into the bathroom.
"We'll need food," Yai reminded me.
"Oh yeah," I remembered. "Let's get some cash, too. I've got two twenties. What about you?"
He searched his pockets. "Sixty dollars," he announced.
"I guess that'll be fine," I shrugged as Ryou came back in.
"They fit fine," he said. I handed him two more pairs (we all had three that way) and some plain shirts. I also let him borrow some of my white socks (nothing else, tho! ~_^).
"C'mon!" I shouted, running downstairs. "Let's get some chow!" We stuffed the remaining space in our bags with crackers, cans of soup, a bottle of water each, canned fruit, marshmallows, and candy. "Yup," I chuckled. "I don't think we'll starve."
Two minutes later, Yai and I were wearing jackets with the hoods up, Ryou his cloak, to hide our faces. "This is it," I sighed, dropping the key into my pocket after locking all the doors. We turned to face the dangers of the new, threatening street we stood on. Who knew what lurked around the corner? "I hope no one dies."
I laugh when I remember saying that. I know what that sentence is now:
Famous last words.
H: Okay, that wasn't really exciting. BUT IT WILL BE NEXT CHAPPIE!!!
Wayne: Yup. Next chappie they find the door!
HH: *whacks him* You dork! You're giving away the story! (I don't think this will be a death fic. Someone ALMOST dies, tho. ~_^ Not telling who.)
Wayne: Oppsie. *turns to Eek* The sign!
Eek: *plugs in sign and hands it to Wayne*
Wayne: *reads sign* "If You're Reading This, You're An Idiot". HEY!!!
Eek: *runs*
Wayne: PLEASE READ&REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWwwwwww… *runs after Eek to kill her*
H: *sweatdrop* Anyway…I don't think this will be a death fic. Someone ALMOST dies, tho. ~_^ Not telling who.
