"Great, this is a nice added effect. I'm glad you care Pluto!" Raye looks
down at the man who is now snoring peacefully. **Red trench coat, is this
the man he was talking about? He doesn't look evil.**
Raye removes his sunglasses to get a better look at his face. "This can't be 'the stampede,' but maybe he can help me find the one I am looking for."
Raye pulls Vash off the ground and drapes his arm across her shoulders and drags him down the middle of the street. Looking at every building she finally sees an inn of sorts. She pulls him up the stairs and into the building. At the front desk is a kind looking old woman, "do you have any vacant rooms," Raye asks as she drops Vash into one of the chairs.
"Why, yes ma'am I do, actually most rooms have been vacated, because of a recent rumor that 'Vash the-stampede' is around," she whispered, seemingly also afraid that it would cause destruction.
**Vash the-stampede, no way, maybe it's just a coincidence, he doesn't look like a cold blooded killer.** Raye looks at Vash and prays that it's not him that everyone is so worried about.
**I just got here, the last thing I want to happen is have the city I find first destroyed by a man who looks as if he couldn't hurt a fly.**
"We'll take two of your rooms then." **I hope he doesn't kill me in the morning when he finds out he's paying for the rooms.**
"Alright, here are your keys, room 7 and 8." The woman handed Raye the keys and Raye walked back over to Vash and carried him up the stairs to the rooms. Putting Vash into the bed in room 8, Raye walked back to room 7 and laid down on the bed. **Man, this is the only good part about this little 'trip' so far. At least in this room if he chases me I'm closer to the door.**
Raye falls asleep and dreams of her friends and family in Tokyo.
"WHAT THE!? WHERE AM I?!" The sound of a loud crash following the outburst woke Raye from her dreams.
"Great, I guess he woke up," she gets out of the bed and walks out the door and over to the room where she left Vash last night. Opening the door she finds him sprawled out of the floor wrapped in the covers from the bed. "You're in a hotel so be quiet, there's no need to yell," she walks over to him and helps him get out of the covers.
"Who are you, the maid of the hotel or something? Or how 'bout room service, can I get some donuts," Vash asks as he tries to help himself up.
"Neither, you kind of fell at my feet yesterday, so I thought that I would help you and bring you here. And I know I just met you and everything, but I am kind of new here and I don't have the kind of money that you use here, so I was hoping that you could pay for the rooming and everything," Raye cringed as she finished speaking preparing herself for the screams of protest.
"Only as long as I can get some donuts soon, I'm starvin'. Do you know if they have any here?"
"No, I told you that I am new here. I don't mean to this town either, I mean to this entire planet. I have to find someone and I was kind of hoping that you could help me," Raye was kind of surprised that he didn't go crazy on her and throw stuff.
"New to this planet, what planet are you from?"
Surprised Raye asks, "Do you have space travel here?"
"Yes, well sort of. Or at least we did, we don't have it anymore. It was all destroyed. What planet did you come from?"
"Earth," Raye said without thinking.
"Earth, that's not possible. The Earth has no more resources to support man. Rem said so," Vash looks at Raye as if she is lying to him.
"No its not, whose Rem? It has to be a different Earth then, because I was just there and it seemed very abundant to me."
But Vash was off in his own little world, every once in a while he would mutter a few words like 'Rem said' and 'there's no way'.
"Well, I will be back, but can I borrow some money," Raye walks up and Vash absentmindedly gives her some money.
Raye walks out to leave him to his thoughts as she goes to find him some donuts.
****************************
"Where are the food stores? There has to be one here or everyone would starve."
Glancing around, she sees the saloon from the day before. She decides to go in and get directions.
Walking in she sees a woman in her late 60s, "Can you tell me where I can buy food, donuts perhaps?"
"Well, dear, there is a store just a couple of buildings down. Tell Vash I said hey," the woman says as she turns to get a man a refill.
"How do you know I will see him," Raye looks surprised.
"He is the only one around that normally wants donuts. They have a large stock just for him. That boy can eat over a dozen by himself," the woman gives her a warm smile.
"Well, thanks," Raye walks back out and down the road until she sees a building with baked goods in the windows.
As she walks in the building a bell chimes. A young man peeks over the glass case containing the donuts.
"What can I do for you today, miss?"
"I would like to buy some donuts. Do you have glazed and chocolate covered?"
"Yes ma'am we do."
"Ok then I would like half a dozen glazed and half a dozen chocolate."
"Ok, that's 12 double dollars."
Raye hands him a wad of bills and hopes that she has twelve of whatever it was that he wanted.
The man looked at her kind of strange but kept his mouth shut as he handed her a few bills.
*** I guess I should have asked him about the money before I left to buy something. He better not be picky about the kinds of donuts he likes. ***
As the young man starts to put the donuts in the bag Raye glances around at all the other foods in the store. *** It looks just like any bakery at home. I figured by the looks of the desert and the saloon that this would be some kind of bad western. ***
"Here you go miss, have a nice day."
Raye grabs the bag and walks back out and towards the inn. She walks back in and is greeted by the woman that she saw last night. With a small 'hello' she makes her way back to Vash's room.
"Here, I got you some donuts," she says as she knocks on his door. The door is immediately flung open and the bag is no longer in her hands. Looking at Vash, she sees that he has two donuts stuffed in his mouth. His cheeks are sticking out, not unlike a hamster that she had once.
"Are you not even going to ask me if I would like one?"
"O, I sowwy, wud ew ike on," he asked with his mouth full.
"Not now, you have made me loose my appetite," she gave a disgusted look.
Swallowing, he looked back at her, "are you sure you came from Earth?"
"Yes, why would I lie about something like that?"
"Its not that I think you're lying, its just that a friend of mine was from Earth and she told me all about how it used to be. But that it now lay in ruin because all the resources were gone." Vash then filled Raye in about his time with Rem Saverem and the crew of Project SEEDS.
