(Well I'm going to go ahead and continue this fic and I'm going to give credit to Saddened Soul once more for writing a good 2/4 of this chapter, thanks Soul, you rock!)
CHAPTER 2
"Darn it! How many more minutes until school starts, Megaman!" Lan exclaimed urgently as he roller bladed to school through the blistering winds.
"Exactly one minute and fifty eight seconds. The bus heads off to the airport at 9:00; it's 8:45." Lan scowled. "Well, if the damn refrigerator hadn't malfunctioned we'd be a lot earlier!"
Mayl Sakurai wrote down the last 'Eugene Chaud' on the last page of her notebook. It was finally complete; her notebook full of Eugene Chauds was finished. "What's that Mayl?" Yai asked as she peeked at the notebook from her seat in the bus. Mayl quickly shut the book and glared at Yai, replying, "It's personal."
The whole sixth grade would be given the chance to experience Netopia in all of its glory; all of the teachers had said it would be, 'educational'. Aside from that, Lan and his friends had never met their teacher. They did know, though, he was called by his colleagues, 'Mr. S.'
Lan quickly darted to the bus at school. He was so close; it was exactly 9:00 with 30 minutes left. But just as he was about to enter the bus, the driver stopped. "Can I see some identification?" he asked casually. Lan frowned. "I'm a student, for the Netopia field trip."
The driver glanced at his watch. "It is exactly 9:01; a student would already have been on board."
Lan fished in his pocket, taking out thirty thousand zenny. "Will this settle the difference?" The driver stroked his chin. "Why not? Get on."
(Oh, by the way, in an effort to keep the story non- racist, the bus driver is black.)
Lan yawned before taking a seat next to Mayl, who was revising her notebook for any misspelled, 'Eugenes'.
Yai was unfortunately stuck beside a snoring Dex with mustard and saliva flowing down his chin.
"What's up guys?" Lan asked before turning his PET on mute to avoid Megaman's annoying bickering. Yai shrugged. "Mayl's been working hard on her 'masterpiece', and Dex has been asleep for the last thirty minutes, and I think he's been having erotic wet dreams about you."
Lan's expression showed disgust and horror. "Um, okay," he stammered, before the bus took off.
About fifty minutes later, the bus arrived at the airport. The students obediently walked out in a straight line, towards the airport, with all of their teachers as chaperones.
When they entered the building, Lan immediately noticed his most hatred rival, Eugene Chaud, who was busy buying a ticket.
"Ah, so we meet again," Lan stated as Chaud turned around. "What could filth like you doing around here?"
Lan was just about to respond with a clever remark, but Mayl had taken notice and had instantly ran over to Chaud's side.
"Hey Chaud, I haven't seen you in a long time!" Mayl smiled at Chaud with utmost happiness.
"Mayl I saw you at Jomon Electric store yesterday. Y'know, when I bumped into you and you accidentally stuck your hand in my pants."
Mayl blushed. Chaud turned to Lan. "So Hikari, what brings you to the airport?"
Lan replied, "Well I'm here to go on the school field trip to Netopia. What about you?"
Chaud, anticipating the question responded, "Well, if you haven't heard on the news, I'm going to NAXA to be the first official net battler to go into space. With that being said I want you to have this."
Chaud handed Lan a black T-shirt that read the following words in big gold lettering:
I MET CHAUD THE FIRST OFFICIAL NETBATTLER TO GO INTO SPACE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT
Chaud smiled smugly. "You better keep that shirt Lan, it might be the only decent piece of clothing you're ever going to get in a long time."
Lan replied sarcastically, "Thanks Chaud, I'll cherish it for the rest of my life."
Mayl spoke suddenly, "Umm Chaud, I'd like a shirt."
"Oh, yeah, sure. Go fetch girl!" Chaud threw the shirt into a crowd of people. Mayl got on all fours and chased after it. "Well Lan I'll be seeing you later. Oh and you might want to put on that shirt now or you'll look like a major freak."
"Whaddya mean?" Lan inquired. Chaud walked away. "Hmm, what do you think he meant by that Megaman?"
"Uh, Lan, look around." Lan took a look around him and gasped. Everyone in the airport was wearing the Chaud t-shirt.
Someone spotted Lan without the t-shirt and yelled out, "Look, he's not wearing the shirt. Get him!"
Lan ran as people with pitchforks and torches chased after him. Meanwhile Dex, Yai, and Mayl were waiting in line to board the plane.
"Where's Lan?" Yai asked. "I don't know," Dex continued, "but, I sure hope he's not in the middle of that crowd of people over there that seem to be banging their crowbars on what appears to be a human body."
Mayl added, "Nope that definitely isn't him, besides, that person is to bloodied up and half dead looking to be Lan." The people continued to bang on the body with a variety of sharp objects that need not be mentioned; Suddenly a squirt of blood flew up into the air.
"Ouch, that might leave a bruise," Dex commented.
"Okay I'll put on the friggin' t-shirt. God…" Lan came out from the crowd with a black shirt on.
"Oh, hey, what do you know, that was Lan." Mayl had a look of mild surprise on her face. Yai continued, "I would have never guessed." Dex finished, "Aaah, that Lan and his wacky shenanigans." The group of friends started laughing together.
Lan walked up to them slowly, as he was about to collapse from blood loss any minute. "So… what did I miss?"
"Oh nothing we were about to go through an airport screening any moment now."
So, after meeting up again, the group began to make their way towards the line of people moving through the screening mechanism. As more people joined the line, Lan and Dex quickly sped before Mayl and Yai, making them the last two in the line.
"Hey, ever heard of etiquette you morons! Ladies first!" Yai exclaimed Lan glanced back at her. "What are you talking about? Aren't you a guy?"
Yai grew extremely furious. "No, I'm a woman! Did you ever wonder why I went into the pink res' room?"
"Restroom," Megaman suddenly chirped in. "Restroom." Yai ground her teeth. "Do you think I give a damn about how I say it!" Megaman nodded from the PET. "You really should though, proper grammar is what allows the world to spin properly on its axis."
The group went silent for a few moments before Lan told Dex, "Hey, you know that the violations here at these security screenings are becoming more and more frequent?" Dex nodded. "Yep, I heard a guy stuck his hand up a girl's skirt during a security check because he thought she had a gun," Dex thought for a moment, "then again he probably knew there was something up her skirt but I'm pretty sure he knew it wasn't a gun."
As Dex finished this statement, he became next in line.
Dex walked casually through the detector and immediately after a loud beeping noise filled the airport.
An airport security official ran up to Dex. "Ma'am, I'm sorry but we're going to have to search you for dangerous and hazardous objects of any kind."
"Hey I'm a dude!"
"Yes ma'am I'm sure you were at one point, but that is not the issue here. I must give you a pat down to make sure you're not carrying any objects that might be a hazard to your fellow passengers."
"Hey what the-" Dex was cut off by the security official, "Okay ma'am, I'm going to check your breast area with the back of my hands and only the back of my hands."
"Hey!" Dex was turning red with embarrassment and anger as the official was patting his man boobs with his hands.
"Ma'am I'm sorry," the security official stopped abruptly, "would you rather another woman do this?"
"What do ya mean another," Dex paused for a moment, "uh, sure, why not?"
After Dex's pat down, the students boarded the plane.
(Yes I know, another random ending, sorry. Well, I'd like to take this section to respond to my reviews.
Saddened Soul- YOU LOZER! Don't review the first chapter of the fic you're helping me write. Ahh well, I guess it's "all right".
Moonymonster- Thanks for the nice review, but I'm a bit nervous knowing that a reviewer like you is going to critique every aspect of my grammar, but I guess it's all for the better right?
Dr. Weird- No love scene but thanks for reviewing. Oh and if you have anyways to make the story funnier then I would appreciate that input.
