A/N: Bah! So tired. My sister came home late 'cause she "lost track of time." XD Hahah! Anyway, I'll try my best to continue on, but I'm so tired. Hey, I need to forget sleep tonight anyhow, because I have a 2-3 hour car trip tomorrow to the freakin' Poconos. Oh, yeah! I ranted about the Poconos the last chapter, didn't I? So, yeah. . . here's the chapter. . . ::slaps self to keep awake:: Ow, that hurt, and it didn't help at all. . . T-T ::imitating Napoleon Dynamite:: Idiot!

Disclaimer: . . . I swear, I blame Yuan if someone sues.

Yuan: I heard that!
Genki: Shut-up, you freak!
Yuan: I wouldn't be talking.
Genki: o.o . . . � Still your fault.

NOTE: Please correct my spelling on "Balacruf," somehow, I think it's wrong. . .

Chapter 2

To make a long story short, the four travelers made it to the Balacruf Museum.

"Oh, phew! I thought I almost lost my 'I survived the dinky little pool of water and I got this pin to show how much I am of an idiot!' pin!" Lloyd said, as he repinned the pin.

Raine twitched. "Water." She shuddered.

"Well, where's everyone else?" Colette looked around.

"Yeah. I bet that 'James' lied!" Genis kicked the wall.

"Did you just kick the museum?" The professor glared very threateningly at Genis.

"Um, sorry, Museum." He patted the wall as Raine smiled with her glare.

A few hours passed, and all had fallen asleep when they were greeted by an all-too familiar shout.

"Whaddaya want, you jerk?" Genis mumbled absent-mindedly, before all four sat up in surprise.

"We're here on that special mission thinger!" Zelos greeted with a smirk. "My hunnies!"

"Oh great. Here we go. Again," Genis groaned.

"Hi guys," Sheena greeted. "Nice seeing you again."

"Yeah, it is. . . uh, nice seeing you again too," Lloyd replied back.

"So, what do you think about that, uh, salesman, guy?"

"What salesman guy? Are you talking about James?"

"No, the guy we talked to was a nail salesman named Bob. And he had blue hair."

"That sounds like James!"

"But his name's Bob."

"No, James is a part of the secret government of evil animals!"

"Would you stop fighting?!" Raine yelled. "Lloyd, didn't you say when you were two, he was 'Mr. Jungle Man'?"

"Um, yeah."

"He's obviously got problems with himself," Genis sighed.

Before they continue, Regal and Presea showed up next, much to the reader's surprise!!

Banana Mana Mania

While Genki sat at her desk writing her fanfic, she started making funny sounds "Whoo. . . OOOOH!! DundunDUN!"

Her "prisoner," Lloyd, popped up behind her. "Why do you enjoy ruining the effect of your fanfics?"

"It's enjoyable, and I'm not excluded!" Lloyd sighed. "See? I feel like I'm in the game right now!"

"Genki, you're completely writing this side-part like a moron." He grabbed a cookie and pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. "And it's almost one o' clock in the morning. Did you know that? You're staying up awfully late. Ha-- it is now one o' clock. How long are you going to keep writing this?"

"Oh, I dunno. Would you stop eating that cookie, you're making me hungry!"

He tauntingly munched on the cookie. "Mm, so delicious. . ."

Yuan came in, grabbed one and ran off.

Genki and Lloyd stared at each other before Lloyd heaved an even deeper sigh. "Do you have to crack your knuckles like that?"

"No, but I want to." She rubbed her ear-- er, I mean eye. She would have rubbed her ear if she wasn't wearing headphones for some random reason. Realizing there was no point in wearing the headphones, she took them off. "I'm so out of ideas. . . " Yawning, she nudged Lloyd. "Hey, I need some inspiration."

"What do you want me to do? Spin in a circle an' sing something for ya?"

"Sure!"

"No. Way."

Genki groaned. "God, writing fanfics can really make a person crazy sometimes."

"Tell me about it." Lloyd glared a final time.

Banana Mana Mania

"What such a turn of fate! Presea! Yuan-- er, Regal!" Genis said.

"Did you just call me Yuan?"

"No."

"Liar."

"Okay, okay, it was a mistake! Sorry!"

"Don't make that mistake again, twerp."

"What's up with you, Regal?" Zelos asked, somewhat surprised.

"Presea was chopping wood last night, and I couldn't sleep."

"At night?" Raine looked at Presea.

"Correct. I desired to chop an object, and since I have no pleasure in murdering breathing creatures, I transported myself into the open air between the hours of 8 o' clock at night until 5 o' clock in the morning to split a cornacopia of trees."

The rest of the reformed group stared.

"If she talks like that for the rest of the time, I swear, my head will explode," Lloyd groaned.

"Wouldn't it implode since there's nothing in your head to explode?" Zelos snickered.

"Don't make fun of my lack of brain, okay?! Mr. Jungle Man told me to forget everything that I learned as a child, and I fell behind in school, eventually leading me to give up and just stay dumb!"

"And you listened to. . . 'Mr. Jungle Man'?" Regal asked.

"When I was three, I was incredibly smart, but even more gullible."

"Well, duh," Sheena commented.

"This is going to be a long journey, isn't it?" Raine sighed.

Banana Mana Mania

While sitting at the computer desk, writing this, Genki started to quietly smack herself in the head with a book wrapped in plastic: Basic Arrhythmias: Fifth Edition by Gail Walraven. "This. Is going. To take. Years. To write.

"Genki, cut it out." Lloyd stole the book and put it back down.

"Damn it. Hey, wait, is this one of my mom's new schoolbooks?"

Banana Mana Mania

"Is that everyone?" Collette piped up.

"Yes, it is!" A flying ship landed, and the man who jumped out was no other than. . .

"Oh my goddess, it's the Quaker Oats guy!" Lloyd pointed.

"What the-- Hell, no! I'm Capt'n Crunch!"

"But he has gray hair."

"So does Mr. Quaker Oats."

"And a mustache."

". . . damn it."

"Crunchitize me Capt'n!" Colette and Sheena yelled, and soon they were on a ship, enjoying lots of Captain Crunch cereal.

"So, Capt'n Crunch, here to help us?" Genis asked.

"Um, sorta."

"Sorta?!" Lloyd cried out. "Wait a second. . . aren't you James?"

"I was until I decided to become a nail salesman. Oh, and then I became a freak show, before moving on to my next career as Capt'n Crunch!" By this point, Sheena and Colette were full from the cereal as they returned from the ship.

"No. . . more. . . cereal. . ." Colette groaned.

"How do those kids do it?" Sheena said, before they both started vomiting.

"Ugh, gross!" Regal cried out. "You're going to get my new suit all icky!"

"My poor hunnies are so sick!" Zelos cried out.

Raine healed them so that they were sick no more.

"Anyway, that's it. You guys get to work together," Capt'n Crunch said. "I have to go and make some dumb commercial in a few minutes. So, good luck!" And he flew off in his ship again, before everyone saw it blow up and fall from the sky.

"Well, that sucks," Raine commented.

"I concur. The flying transportation device that should be a sailing transportation device had malfunctioned, and then parts of it flew everywhere with explosions before it collided with the ground at a 100.7293 degree angle and lost some more parts and had more explosions. That indeed, sucks.

"Suck: 1. to draw into the mouth by producing a partial vacuum by action of the lips and tongue: to suck lemonade through a straw. 2. to draw (water, moisture, air, etc.) by or as if by suction. 3. to apply the lips or mouth to and draw the liquid from: to suck an orange. 4. to put into the mouth and draw open: to suck one's thumb. 5. to take into the mouth and dissolve by the action of the tongue, saliva, etc.: to suck a piece of candy. 6. to bring to a specified condition by sucking. 7. to draw something in by producing a partial vacuum in the mouth. 8. to draw or to be drawn by or as if by suction. 9. (of a pump) to draw air instead of water, as when the water is low or a valve is defective. 10. Slang. to behave in a fawning manner (usually followed by around) 11. Slang. to be repellent or disgusting. 12. suck in, Informal. to deceive; cheat; defraud. 13. suck up, Slang. to be obsequious; toady. 14. an act or instance of that of sucking. 15. a sucking force. 16. the sound produced by sucking. 17. that which is sucked. 18. a small drink; sip."

Finally finished with the incredibly long sentence about the ship crashing and then explaining the defintion of the word "suck," silence took over.

"MY GODDESS!! MY BRAAAAAAAAIN!!" Lloyd fell on his knees. "Must. . . not. . . explode. . . "

"You mean implode," said Zelos with a snicker.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!"

"Why don't we go inside before one of us ends up dead?" Raine suggested, and they all went inside.

A/N: Bwahahaha! I warned you of the OOC! But they'll be more in character next time. I wanted Regal to be a snotheaded president and Presea to jabber on relentlessly.

I know the part that included my writing at the computer was very odd. n.n; I had to finish the definition of "sucks" this morning and the rest of the fanfic. XD I was really tired, and I still am.

Lloyd: � What are you doing up this early?
Genki: What does it look like? Writing fanfics!
Lloyd: Don't you remember what happened last night when you were going to bed?
Genki: Faintly. I remember the chest pains. o.o; Very well. But then it got hard to tell who was checking up on me. . . Zelos or Kratos, somewhere there they switched. o.o
Lloyd: Dad's here?
Genki: At least he was anyway. XD I hope he had fun taking care of me, I was scared outta my wits! I thought I heard music! Heh. . .
Lloyd: Dork. Somehow, you scare me. . .
Genki: At least you weren't here to witness me get sick from stress last spring! That was baaaad.
Lloyd: . . . you're kidding.
Genki: A couple times I broke down and my whole body shook. Ooh! And I got palpitations, I think, anyway, which every once in a while I'll get now, and I had stomach pain! n.n
Lloyd: You look happy about it.
Genki: Now that I'm not stressed! Actually, thinking about it, I had a short palpitation last night. o.o;
Lloyd: Is that bad?
Genki: Supposedly it's normal, but I think I'm not feeling well because of my lack of sleep and food.
Lloyd: Well duh.
Genki: I can't help I forgot to eat enough for the last two days! Bah, enough ranting, next chapter.

Please review!!
