WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~! *a loud crash is heard, Draconicality slowly pulls herself free of the rubble and looks around sheepishly* I'M BACK! THE FIC IS BACK! YEEHA! *looks around* Oops… n.n
Jorntil: You could have had a parachute…you could have used your WINGS, for Kami's sake, but no, you have to go and crash-land in the HOUSE~!
Jiaan: *digging frantically*
Maroku: Watcha looking for? *holds up a much-battered fluffy gray penguin plushie* This?
Jiaan: MR DOOM! *snatches it and sobs hysterically* I thought I lost you!
Maroku: _ He's finally cracked…
Oh yeah – the next chapter or two, or maybe the rest of the fic, will be in third-person rather than first person, for good reasons. Expect lots more ak-shun! And lots and lots of angst and shounen-ai! XD XD XD
~-~-~-~-~-
An hour into the trip, and Johnny was already deadly bored. Firstly, he'd made a brave attempt to read the novel he'd brought along for the ride, before finally throwing it somewhere in the back of the jet with a noise of disgust.
Ribbing Robert about the earlier incident with the roach – that had fallen flat too; as his team leader simply was NOT in the mood, and could yell Johnny down any day of the week, the Scot had almost immediately been booted out of the cockpit. Locked out too. Just great.
So what was he left to do? Pace up and down the narrow aisle stewing. The redhead was not at all the type of person to sit and meditate – he wanted something constructive to DO, damnit!
Thankfully, something dark and furry chose exactly that moment to drape itself over his head.
Cursing, Johnny grabbed whatever had decided to suffocate him, prepared to wrestle to the death with it, and then realized that he was holding –
A sweater.
Robert was watching him through the narrow entryway with mild amusement. "We'll be landing in a while. Put those on and strap yourself in – I don't think we're going to have a very smooth landing. Oh, and you'll have to lose the bandana for awhile."
The other boy just raised a rust-colored eyebrow, and Robert huffed in exasperation. "Oh, for God's sake – first of all, it happens to be bloody cold in Moscow this time of year. Secondly, you look too distinctive the way you're dressed-"
"Look who's talking!"
"Just put them on!" Slam!
"Jeez, someone missed their daily dosage of No-Grump pills…"
----------
Robert had been right – the trip downwards was horribly bumpy. Johnny simply shut his eyes and concentrated fiercely on keeping his teeth from rattling out of his skull.
I'm Johnny Macgregor, for God's sake. I can't get airsick~! Ughhh…
When the jet finally stopped bumping and lurching along the runway, and was perfectly still, Johnny had a very hard time resisting the urge to leap out and kiss the Gods-blessed earth.
"Rob?" Johnny immediately decided to use the purple-haired blader as a distraction from his tossing stomach. "You still alive?"
"Yes, but airport security is giving me hell. Grab the phone; I don't know my way around here anymore, so find Kai's number and get directions."
Before Johnny could escape down the ladder he'd just tossed down the side of the jet, he heard the German yell, "And like I told you – lose the bandana!"
----------
"Where exactly are you?"
"Erm…it looks like a park. Big, frosty, lots of little kids Beyblading and stuff…"
"You're way off track again, Johnny."
"I took a bus last time! How would I know?"
"You have no sense of direction, Macgregor!"
"Shut it, Hiwatari, and tell me where to go!"
The red-haired boy pressed the phone hard to his ear, teeth chattering. Once again Robert had been proven right – Scotland was chilly, but not THIS bad, and Johnny highly preferred the tropics to the snow…he could swear his long bangs has frozen themselves to his nose. Damn Jurgen and his rotten 'no-bandana' comment. Johnny had promised to bring back Kai, Rei and the Demolition Boys but if he'd known it would be like this he'd…
Still have done it anyway. Even if it was just for the look on Kai's face.
"*sigh* All right…there's a big building off to the right somewhere, looks like it's been half-knocked over. There should be red flags hanging out some of the windows. See it? Good. Now, head towards it and take a right…"

There! I wrote it! And it took me only two days! *whistles* No OC part this chappie since I already went through Maroku, Derrin, Doufyn and Rehana. They'll pop up again!
Jiaan: Ye-es, but you waited for so LONG before starting it…
Shut it or Mr. Doom will feel the consequences.
Jiaan: o
Errr – yes, I wrote this on a friend's computer. She's allowing me to bring my diskettes into her home and actually work on this, in return for my gift art! Yay *squee* Thankies, Abby!
The language rating is probably going to go WAY up in the next chapter. I mean, the FIRST sentence is going to be Johnny going "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck…"
I was going to type up parts 14-15 as one big chapter, but there wasn't time and I REALLY wanted to update. So, R n' R and I'll get back to this as soon as the weekend rolls around and my 'net is fixed? XD On to the review-reviewing!
Jorntil: The whowhatnow?
Rukhhn: …
Schizoid Mouse – Mwehehehehe…Robert rules, Robert forever…wait, actually, that applies to pretty much all of the Majestics O.o Glad you liked the name I picked for him, it took forever to make one that sounded right! School sucks…I hope you update soon, I'm REALLY looking forward to that new chapter of 'Secret Life' =D
Tala1 – Yeah, you helped…all that RPing finally got rid of my writer's block ! ^_^ Jorntil won't bite you, will you Jorntil? X3
Jorntil: *sniffs* I make no promises*
PinkDevil - *rofl* You reviewed every chapter O.o Dear Kami…*snickers* You'll get the OCs…sorta…in later chapters…I hope? Otherwise the fic is just plain screwed…
LozRoz and Lid – *high squeaky voice* You dare? You dare insult dragon muses? MAROKU, JORNTIL I SAID IT, NOW GET YER CLAWS AWAY FROM MY THROAT!
Fusion Isle - *gasps* Third class writer? O_o No way! No one does humor like you do! And Chi is still so KAWAII~!
Fairy Navi – Okay! ^.^
Kyo-Terayashi – I loved writing that scene too!
