Blood Rose Chapter 5:
The plane finally landed on the stretch as everyone reached their final destination, New Vegas. Everyone woke up from their sleep all groggy and somewhat irritated. Nonetheless, everyone got off the plane and went straight to the security area. Knives walked through the security with no problem, Lenn followed suit, and so did Rose. Grey walked up to the security checkpoint and the alarm beeped.
"Sir, please remove any metallic items and place them in this box." The guard said.
"But I already did!" Grey said.
He walked through the security again and the detector beeped once again.
"Sir please remove all of your clothing." The guard said.
"WHAT?! I-I can't do that! It'll be considered indecent exposure!" Grey exclaimed.
"Would you like a full body cavity search?" The guard asked.
Grey removed all of his clothing except for his rubber duckie boxers. He walked through the metal detectors, but this time it didn't beep.
"Thank you God!" He said.
Grey grabbed all of his clothing and his rings and met up with everyone else.
"Don't feel bad, kid. It happens to the best of us." Knives patting his shoulder.
Grey looked at Rose. She was blushing at the sight of his nearly naked body. She took a quick glance at the specimen that is called "Grey."
He looks really good, sexy actually. I wonder what it will take to get his boxers off. His boxers are so cute, I could wear them myself, if I wanted to, actually I could. Rose, stop thinking dirty thoughts about your best friend, that isn't right! He is sexy though.
She blushed at the sight of him, then hid behind Lenn. Lenn was forcing herself not to laugh at her brother's embarassing situation, but she found this rather difficult. Knives motioned everyone else to come to Baggage Claim with him. They took the escalator down and ran to Baggage Claim. Knives and Rose examined all of the bags that had passed. Rose picked up the fifth bag and gave it to Grey. The bag was black and had lots of pins on them, mainly silver pins. The ninth bag that passed through was Knives'. He picked up his maroon bag and opened it to see if everything that he packed was his. His bag also had pins, but they were from the places he had visited during his 10 years worth of traveling. The lilac bag that came after his was Lenn's. Lenn's bag had girly accessories, like a cell-phone holder and a front pocket for make-up. Grey put down his bag as he went over to pick up Rose's. Hers was exactly the same as Grey's except for the color, hers was stop-light red, like the fronts of her, which she bleached the night before. He picked it up and was limping over to Rose. She smiled and walked up to him. She took her bag out of his hands leaving his black bag with him.
"It's okay Grey, I can carry it, thanks though." She said as she smiled.
Grey smiled at her and blushed, not only because he liked her, but he was also embarassed, that she was stronger than him.
"If she keeps this up, she's gonna be the one to take care of you." Lenn said nudging on his shoulder.
"Come on guys, our ride's waiting." Knives said.
Everyone followed Knives to the Transportation Gate. Lenn noticed a man dressed as a Chauffer holding a sign that had Knives' name on it.
"Hey Knives, that guy has the same name as you!" She said excidedly.
"Oh! There he is! Nice to see you again, Remus!" Knives said to the man.
"Whassup Knives!" He said as he and Knives did their secret handshake.
He looked at the crew and noticed Rose.
"So this is the infamous Blood Rose that I've been hearing about, the rumors hardly do her any justice, Knives, your niece is one pretty girl. Nice to meet you Rose." He said as he extended his hand to shake hers.
"Nice to meet you too, Remus. These are my friends, Lenn and Grey Wolfwood, they're brother and sister." Rose said.
Grey and Lenn shook Remus' hand stood straight.
"But I thought your name was 'Knives', Remus." Lenn said.
Grey, Knives and Remus chuckled, while Rose just politely explained it to Lenn.
"The reason why he was holding up the sign, that read 'Knives' was because he is Uncle Knives' Chauffer and the sign is one of the means to let the traveller know that his ride is here." She explained.
"Oh okay." Lenn said.
"Let's get going, shall we?" Remus said.
"Hey Remus, drive around the strip to let the kids see the city at night." Knives said.
"Sure thing K." Remus said.
Everyone followed Remus to the black limosine and went in. The kids oooooed and awwwed at the things the vehicle had to offer. Remus started the car and left the Airport to see the New Vegas Strip.
"Hey kids, I'm going to open the sun roof so you can get up to see the lights." Remus said as he was opening the sun roof.
"Thanks, Remus!" Rose shouted.
"Don't mention it, your Uncle wanted you to have a great time on this trip." Remus replied.
All three kids hugged Knives and went up to see the lights. New Vegas was gorgeous at night. So many different colored lights, it was as if they had stepped into a rainbow that shone brightly at night. They passed through all of the hotels, they saw a giant Castle, The Sphinx, A Roman Palace that said "Ceasar's Palace," a victorian building called "The Venetian," A circus tent, The Eiffel Tower, The MGM Towers, and The Statue of Liberty. Yes, New Vegas was spectacular at night.
"Which of these hotels are staying at?" Grey asked.
"I'm driving you to the Venetian. You kids will love it there, it's beautiful, and for the girls, they have an indoor mall." Remus said.
"I can't wait to do some shopping here!" Lenn said.
"We have to begave ourseleves, or else our moms will get mad at us." Rose said.
"Stop being such a goody-too shoes, what happens in New Vegas, stays in New Vegas, ain't that right Knives?" Lenn said.
"Sorry Rose, as much as I love you, I agree with Lenn. Don't worry about your mom, if any of you guys do anything stupid, I'll take the blame, she hates me anyway." He said.
"Are we going to do some gambling when we get to the hotel?' Grey asked happily.
"Hold it right there kiddo, gambling's fun in moderation, you don't want to gamble too much now." Remus said.
"Awwww, let him live a little Remus, he's 18, he's responsible for his actions." Knives said.
"I thought your brother was the leninant one," Remus said.
"Actually he's way more stricter and he has his reasons, I really don't blame him. My sister-in-law is much worse, she is way overprotective of her daughter. I know she's the only one and all, but you gotta let her live a little, she's not 5 anymore, besides, she's 17 now, she needs to have fun." Knives explained.
"What about the brother and sister?" Remus asked.
"Those two have great parents, the mother's a sweetheart and the dad's really funny, but those two are like jackrabbits, if you know what I mean." Knives said.
Remus laughed as he heard Knives tell his share of gossip about both families. Knives knows it's kinda wierd that both families live together, but it's really a nice change of pace, and the house is way too big for his niece and her family to have alone. The driver finally pulled up to the hotel and parked in vallet. He and a few hotel employees carried their bags as Knives went in to check in. The kids looked around and saw this massive building and the huge crowds that were actually staying in this hotel. Knives motioned to them that he got the keys for the room. They followed him to the elevator.
15 Minutes Later....
"I fold." Knives said as he handed his two cards to Lenn.
"How much longer are going to stay stuck in this elevator?" Grey said.
"It's been 15 minutes now Uncle, don't you think they already send some help?" Rose asked.
Then the inevitable happened, Lenn was the first to smell it.
"I smell something." She said.
"Yeah, me too." Grey said.
"It smells like, somebody farted." Rose said.
"Who farted in here?!" Lenn shouted
Knives was laughing his ass off.
"Sorry, it was me." He said as he was laughing.
"AWWWW COME ON!!!" The kids shouted as they threw their cards at him and covered their noses with their clothing.
45 minutes passed and the elevator finally started working again. They all got off on the floor and headed to their rooms.
"Okay, you girls get first dibs." Knives said as he handed the key to Rose.
"We'll see you in the morning." Lenn said.
"Goodnight, Uncle." Rose said she kissed her uncle his cheek.
She also kissed Grey on his cheek and went into the room. Grey blushed a deeper red than before.
"Come on, Romeo, we'll hang out with them tommorow." Knives said as he was pulling Grey by his shirt inside the room.
Author's Note: This whole chapter was actually inspired by our Vegas Vacation last summer, even though we didn't ride in a limo, stayed in the Venetian, or any of our friends came with us, the elevator incident did happen so I decided to put it in here, cause it was really funny. I hope you laughed and enjoyed it. Next Time: The Boys and Girls have a Day and Night Out.
