Heh, Haven't update this in a while! I kind of lost my train of thought, so
it may seem a bit disjointed for a bit, but oh well. So, where was I? Ah,
yes. The shower...
"Kenshin-Dono? Sanosuke-San? Yahiko-San? Are you decent?" Maggie called through the door. Their clothes were finally finished an hour and a half later, so Maggie ad folded them neatly and placed them in the laundry basket.
"Yes." Came the reply, apparently from Sano. Maggie opened the door and steam billowed out.
"Woah! It's like a sauna in here!" She exclaimed. Then she noticed the shower still running, and the three guys sitting in various places around the room, relaxing. "In any case, here are your clothes. Come on out when you're done, I'll get you some mid-afternoon snack or whatever." Maggie said, setting the basket down and exiting the room. She went downstairs to hover over her brothers shoulders as they did their homework.
"Hey, Maggie, can you help me out here? How do you divide 11 into 80?"
"Long division, Kiddo. Eleven goes into 80 how many times?" She asked, pointing.
"Seven?" Maggie nodded.
"Now, take care of that... Good! Now, how many times does eleven go into 3? None, right? So you need to put a decimal, add a zero and continue that way." Maggie explained.
"You are well learned, Maggie-san." Kenshin said, coming into the dining room.
"Not really. This is basic 6th grade math." Maggie shrugged. "Besides, I can do more complex stuff, factoring polynomials and such."
"You said you had more food, didn't you?" Sano asked. Maggie nodded.
"Of course. What'll it be? I have just about everything except what you're used to." She said with a laugh. "How about I make you sandwiches?" She offered.
"Witches?" Sanosuke asked.
"No, it's a food. Made with bread, meat, cheese, and—oh why am I explaining! The Earl of Sandwich created it long before you were born! I think. I could be wrong." Maggie said. She went to the fridge and opened it, pulling out various deli meats and cheeses.
Then she pulled out white bread, wheat bread, and pumpernickel bread. "Tuna goes especially well on pumpernickel, if you want that." She said. The three exchanged glances.
"What's best?" Sano asked.
"Funny you should ask... See, there's ham and provolone with mustard on white, that's good, then as I said Tuna on pumpernickel, or roast beef with provolone on wheat with mayonnaise, or even..." Maggie went on, listing all the combinations and then giving her own comments on them.
If they had been back in their anime world, Kenshin, Sano and Yahiko would have 'sweat dropped'. But they weren't, so they settled for looks of slight confusion/disbelief/amusement/astonishment/etc.
Meanwhile, Kaoru wasn't having so easy a time. The long, paved road intersected a larger one, along which large metal things zoomed past, including what looked like a bicycle, only it was faster and the person didn't seem to be pedaling. Kaoru's confused expression fixed on the things as she backed away.
"It seems as though it would be too dangerous to cross. Perhaps back this way I'll find help." She said aloud. She walked down the street until she saw a house with people in the windows. They seemed to be only children, but she was in an entirely different place, who knows what's right and not?
She went up and knocked on the door to the house.
Well, yes. Incredibly short, I know. But At least I updated, right? Well?
Anyway, In response to a review I got from Rem-chan:
Yes, I myself understand that the feudal era in Japan fell years and years before, but Maggie was emphasizing a point, that being that they were from quite a time apart. I agree, History teachers are brain-washy. Glad I'm taking Gov't this year. Won't have to deal with World History until 11th grade. In any case, that's okay. I don't mind all that. However, if it was three years after the Civil War, didn't President Lincoln die within the last month of the war? April 14, 1865, he was shot, then he died the next day. Andrew Johnson became president then. ;; Ms. Mays to thank for that. In any case, thank you for taking the time to tell me that!
That's all for now! I PROMISE I'll update again as soon as I can, or as soon as inspiration hits me again. Which will hopefully be soon! In the meantime, please review!!
