A/n: Most parts of this chappie take place in the main cabin.

This chappie gets kind of sad in the last part...

Chapt. 12 (?): A Somewhat Sad Chappie

*back in the main cabin, hours after those of us who went to the shack returned; we author (esses) are out looking for our muses, while the rest of the characters stay in the cabin*

Silvana: *impatient* What's keeping those 'em? Mel & the others went out to look for those dang muses hours ago; they should have found them by now!

Blackie: Maybe they got held up.

Tanner: Hey! Speaking of getting held up, I just thought of something!

EE: What...?
Tanner: What if a crazy guy holds up a bunch of people and he says "Stick 'em up and put your right foot in, put your right foot out, put your right foot in, and shake it all about..."?

Everybody: *laughs*

Bit: That would look pretty stupid...

Nikita: Like someone I know...*gives Bit a sidelong glance*

EE: *nods*

Bit: Whaaaaaaat....? ^_~

Ryou: *comes back from poking around the place* Has anybody seen Kai?

Brad: He probably went off by himself. Kids do it all the time.

Jamie: Yes, I'm sure he'll be alright.

Stoller: Maybe we should cook breakfast first...

Pierce: Oh, that's a really great idea, sir!

Sanders: *sighs*

Stoller: *concerned* Are you OK, Sanders?

Pierce: Yeah, he probably didn't get enough sleep last night.

Sanders: *sad* I'm...fine. I just need a break. *waves* See ya...*goes up to the boys' room*

*everybody watches him*

Tanner: Poor guy...He seems pretty sad, doesn't he?

Lamoo: There's nothing we can do...Except cook breakfast, maybe.

Brad: You kids are forgetting something.

Everybody else gasps as Ryou's eyes flare up*

Ryou: *giving Brad an ultra-powerful death glare* DON'T...EVER...CALL ME...KID.

Brad: *shudders* Uhhh...OK, but I was just reminding you about the coffee! *holds up a coffee mug*

Minors: *give each other weird looks and shrug*

Karl: *shakes his head* It's too early.

O'Connell: *winks* All the better to get some energy! *drinks some coffee*

Naomi: When tired out in the morning, drink Folgers! ^^;

Leena: You're weird, Naomi...-.-;;

Lamoo: Oh, so she's Naomi! Who are the rest of you again...?

Bit: You have much to learn, young student.

*after the adults have hyped up on coffee*

O'Connell: *singing* Ah fae-yell gewd!!! ^o^ *flexes his muscles, then gives everyone an apologetic look* Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Karl: *laughs* Next thing you know, you'll be singing in the rain.

Thomas & Van: *amazed*

Van: He...he...*points a shaky finger at Karl*

Karl: What...? ^_~

Thomas: Wow, Karl, you actually cracked a joke! OoO

Karl: *smiles* We were kids once, Thomas.

Minors: Kid power! Woot! *slap Karl & O'Connell on the back in a friendly way* You go, guys!

Naomi: Heh-heh...How 'bout you, Brad? Why don't you join in? ^_-

Brad: Nah, I've had so much coffee, I'm immune to hyperactivity! *pumps his fist in the air* I rule!

Naomi: Yeah, you're immune to hyperactivity and I'm the tooth fairy. ^_~

Blackie: Time to put our culinary skills to the test! *flips open a cookbook*

Mary: Not to mention what we've learned in home ec.

Pierce: You've been to school, Champ?

Mary: Why, yes. We Champs are always tops in everything.

Pierce: I would have thought otherwise, considering how airheaded you are...^vvv^

Everybody who hates Mary: *laughs*

Leena: Gee, Mary, you're one stupid nutcracker! XD

Mary: Grrr...T_T...Harry! Your girlfriend is making fun of me!

Leena: Ew, I'm not his girlfriend!

Nathan: *comes in* Who's not whose girlfriend...? *yawns*

Van: Hee-hee...Leena's to scared to admit that she likes Harry...^vvv^

Leena: Why you...little...*eye twitches*

Lamoo: I don't know this kid, but she looks really mad...

Toros: Ack! You've made her furious!

Bit: Head for the hills!

*everybody runs off except for Leena and Van*

Van: N-n-n-n-ni-nice L-L-Lee-Leena...

Leena: Grrrrrrrrrr....TvvvT;;

Van: *squeaky voice* Oh no...

*kitchen appliances blow up and breakable things fly everywhere*

Vega: Argh! She's blown up!

Jamie: And she ain't gonna stop!

*everybody dives into the boys' room and shuts & barricades the door with every available piece of furniture*

Sanders: *looks up* Oh, hello. Cooking all done?

Stoller: *pant* N-n-*pant*-no...

Roxanne: Lee-Leena blew...*pant*...up...

Toros: And wrecked the kitchen!

Bit: And now there's...*swallows hard & turns pale*...no food to eat...?

EE: *nods*

Bit: *crumples to his knees & throws his hands in the air* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

*lightning flashes & thunder booms*

Tanner: Give it up, Bit.

Lamoo: Yeah, it can't be that bad!

Nathan: At the rate...

*sudden explosion from the kitchen*

Nathan: ...she's going, I'd be surprised if...

*another explosion*

Nathan: ...there was any food left.

Ryou: I'm starting to get hungry.

Vega: We need to eat something soon...

Pierce: *notices that Sanders is reading a book* Hey, Sandy, what's that?

Sanders: *chucks the book out the window* I...nothing! ^-^

EE: *gives him a weird look*

Sharra: Sanders, you just chucked that book out the window.

Sanders: *innocent* What book? I didn't see anything!

Sharra: Stoller, I think your friend has "issues".

Sanders: *infuriated* I DO NOT!!! ToT

Sharra: Yes, you do! You were...Heh-heh...Hallucinating...

Sanders: I DON'T HALLUCINATE!!!

Blackie: Psst! Hey, they're fighting! Let's place bets and see who wins!

Jamie: I'll bet on Sharra.

Stoller: I bet on my good bud Sanders.

Nikita: This is really boring...

Ryou: I'll bet on the same person as Jamie!

Raven: The good pilot always wins. I bet on Sanders.

Harry: I bet on---

Mary: We Champs do NOT engage in such activity.

Harry: OK...

Bit: I put my bet on...Sanders...No, Sharra...No, Sanders...I CAN'T DECIDE!!!

Karl, O'Connell, Thomas, Nathan, Silvana, & Roxanne: Gambling is illegal and therefore must not be tolerated! *sit down and fold their arms*

Vega: I've known Sanders for a while, I'll bet on him!

Naomi: Sharra gets my vote!

Lamoo: I really don't know which one to vote for, so I'll just watch.

Leon: Me too.

Pierce: Me three!

Tanner: When caught in crossfire between an evil authoress and a hallucinating former BDG pilot, always be the ref!

Toros & Brad: WE CAN'T DECIDE EITHER! WE'LL BET ON BOTHOF THEM!!! *start imagining piles of money appearing around the place, and their eyes look like this: $_$*

Sanders & Sharra: *keep arguing with everybody cheering them on until...*

*somewhere else on the island*

Maelgwyn: We've been searching for quite a while now, haven't we?

Seighart: At least we aren't as slow as we've been with Bit and Leena around.

Robert: I wonder what's cooking back there...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

IceDragon: You had to ask...

*they can hear Leena yelling*

Mel: Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to leave Leena behind...  ._.

*back at the main shack*

*smoke clears to reveal...*

O'Connell: *his hair is sooty and messy* Oh no! My hair! It's worse than before!

Mary: My dress! Fortunately, we Champs are filthy rich!

Silvana: I think you mean filthy and rich...

Karl: Whew, thank goodness my military cap is built to last through zoid explosions!

Brad: Ooh...*sees that Sharra & Sanders have stopped fighting* No! Please don't let the deal be off!

Sharra: I'm pretty exhausted...The deal's off.

Leon: Wow, I used so much hairspray, my hair's still alright!

Vega: Ouch...My stomach hurts...

Jamie: Yeah, I'm hungry too...

Ryou: Kai! Where are you when I need you!!!

Raven: *stands up and brushes himself off* Hmph! Humongous explosions don't scare me!

Nikita: I'm perfectly alright myself, thank you very much.

Thomas: *wakes up* Karl is alright...I can go back to sleep...*faints*

Roxanne: Nathan, you OK?

Nathan: No prob! *thumbs up*

Lamoo: Wow, Leena must have magic powers if she was able to blow up the kitchen like that...

Stoller: Everything in my body seems to be working...*notices something & pokes Bit*

Bit: *looks at whatever Stoller is pointing to* O.O OMIGOSH!!! *points*

Pierce: *has landed in Sanders' lap*

Sanders: What the...?

Pierce: *glares at Sanders* Umm...I'm alright. *gets off*

Tanner: Hey, is everybody OK?

Blackie: Van! What if he's hurt?! * runs out the room*

Toros: And Leena! *follows Blackie*

Harry: My Leena!!! *follows Blackie and Toros*

*everybody who's left looks at Sanders & Pierce*

Pierce: Quit staring, people, it ain't polite. *leaves*

Sanders: *very quietly* Same here. *goes off as well*

Bit: I think we hurt their feelings... ,_,

Stoller: But Sanders was hurt the most... u_u

TBC...

A/n: Sadness...*sniff*...so dramatic...*runs away to cry*

Lol, that book Sandy was reading...You'll see what it was soon...

Replies:

TMT: Ding-dong merrily on high...*cracks up* LMAO, that's a funny carol. Ooh, can my brother and I beat up Boris, Bryan and Voltaire?! We hate them! And, Kai, no cussing, I think Ryou and I are a bit too young for that... @_@

IceDragon '08, Kali, Chaos: Chaos, you'll appear sometime later, I have a special job for you. MM is OK, just too crowded and dangerous...*shudders* A few weeks ago, the gov't. captured some rebel soldiers planning to assassinate the president...Man, adults are so weird...

GeminiBlack57: LMAO, bad Jo! Heh-heh...You're an evil one, Gem. I didn't intend the chappie to be scary at first, but when I proofread it later, I realized it was pretty creepy, so I typed in the warning. Glad you like my fic. Appreciate it! ^_^

Seighart: Your fic is cool, you're cool, your parents are cool-looking in an evil way, hey, thank you for the candy! Yummy candy...*slurps the candy while all of you give me weird looks* And the muses...They will get a little punishment... ^_-

nintendestined64: Yeah, evil creatures, most of them products of my omnipotent imaginat---Hey, I used the word "omnipotent for the first time!!! Yay! ^o^ Hahaha...*stops laughing* That was a short, but interesting chappie in your fic. Keep it up!

Maelgwyn: *shakes head* You're getting too violent. You created CW, you're responsible for him. *evil grin* You have to walk him, feed him, give him baths, make sure he doesn't eat other people, and I'm glad you liked the last one. Don't hit CW anymore, I'll make sure he gets some punishment.

Blackie: *sighs* I'm sorry. That chappie did take place away from the cabin. But I tried my best to make up for it. You're in this one, as you probably already know. Yeah, thanks for the cliffie comment. I haven't written a cliffie before, glad I'm doing well.

Wolfpup7: Yes! You have an account! Belated happy b-day! *gives you a humongous chocolate cake with Hershey treats and pocky on it. Heh-heh...Kidnap poor Kuronue...*laughs wickedly* Have fun on your Safari! I wish I could go on a safari trip too...*gazes dreamily at the sky*
