I own nothing! Except Chi and Chu!
Chu: Chapter 9
Soon I made it out of the maze and back to ground level. I was hoping to avoid everyone and just get back to bed and sleep as soon as I could. Even recharged, I was still tired. However, as I made it up the stairs, I encountered two people that I would have preferred to avoid as well.
"Oh, uh…" I said, running into Bobby and John. I shifted uncomfortably, not knowing what to say. "Thanks for helping me get out of there?" I said, trying to gauge their reaction. It wasn't what I was expecting. For all I knew, Pyro was going to freak out again and we'd have another fried hallway. Or drenched, depending on who won.
"Get out of where?" Bobby asked. John didn't say a word, but glared at me.
"Umm….right. I won't tell anyone, but really, what were you doing down there? By the way, where'd your new girlfriend go?" I asked, whispering.
"Where?" He asked, then, "Rogue isn't my girlfriend, and I haven't seen her since we made a lunch date. She never showed up."
"She didn't? I thought she looked pretty interested in you, if you know what I mean." I laughed loudly, "That means that she must be somewhere else. Want help looking for her? Come on!" I grabbed their wrists and drug them down the stairs and around the halls until John finally pulled away from me.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking us outside? Is this another prank?" He glared at me. I leaned my head toward them and started whispering.
"You see, when I was running around downstairs, I happened to hear that some girl was at the train station, so it only makes sense that Rogue is that girl!" I explained. John looked confused, but Bobby spoke.
"Downstairs? Why would Rogue be at the train station?" He asked, trying to sort out what I had just said.
"Because! If she thought you were so great, then she wouldn't have missed the lunch date, right? Anyway, she seemed kind of weak, and if she destroyed the mansion with a water blast, then I think that she would have made a break for it before anybody caught her." I took a breath, "I would have. Anyway, she can take care of herself, you know, so if you don't want to find her, we can just skip it." I felt the need to be insensitive, since both of them were looking rather disturbed at the news that she had run away.
Bobby glared at me, and I felt my skin icing over. That wasn't good considering that I was just less than a hundred percent water, so I changed my strategy, "What I mean is, she can handle herself until we find her, right? After all, what's the best way to get far away with only a small amount of money? Going by bus to the nearest train station, right? So we look there, okay? Sound good?"
"Let's go." John said, turning around and looking at us. Bobby nodded. We were set and ready for our first rescue mission.
"So…how're we gonna get there?"
