FOUR: Seto The Heartless Jerk

Tea sprinted down the stairs and threw the door open. She found herself...in a city? She stared up at the sky, barely noticeable around the tall buildings and skyscrapers. City noises, like horns blowing, people talking, feet walking, and city wind blowing, filled her ears. She turned and saw that she had walked through a door standing up on the middle of the sidewalk. It was still open, so she could still see Joey and Mokuba coming down the stairs that seemed to vanish into nowhere.

"Where are we?" Mokuba asked in wonder.

"Here?" Joey said. "This's Sixfloor City!"

Tea watched him shut the door. "But how?" she said. "A city like this...in a school? All this is on one floor?"

"Yep," Joey said. "It's obvious there's alottabout dis school ya don't know."

"Yeah, I think!" Tea exclaimed. She looked around. "The White Linoleum road's still here!" she exclaimed happily. It was strange. A path made of linoleum just cutting through a city.

"There it goes," Mokuba said, pointing. The road led right through the street. Through traffic. City traffic. And it wasn't near a light or anything, so they couldn't wait for cars to stop.

"We'll have to make a run for it," Tea said. Mokuba clutched her hand in fear.

Joey gulped. "Through dat?" he said. Just then, a little old lady tried to step off the sidewalk next to them and cross the street. An SUV came speeding by and hit her. She was suddenly plastered on the hood of the car as it sped away, waving her cane and squealing, "Wheeeee!"

The three stared after her. "If we don't follow the White Linoleum Road, we won't find Cafeteria City," Tea said, trying to convince them and herself. "And then we won't find the Wizard of Domino High. We have to follow it."

Joey sighed in resignation and edged up to the very edge of the sidewalk. Tea and Mokuba went with him.

"Ready?" Tea said. Mokuba nodded, looking ready to burst into tears.

"Okay, on three, guys. (Gulp) One, two..."

"Wait! Wait wait wait!" Joey exclaimed.

"What?!" Tea cried, thinking he was about to say there might be a safer way to do this.

"Do we go on three, or on go?" Joey asked.

Tea and Mokuba glared at him. "On three, you idiot!" Mokuba yelled, picking up the second cane the old lady had left behind and bashing him in the head with the crook. "She said nothing about go!"

"Oh." Joey rubbed his head. "Jus' makin' sure."

Tea sighed and rolled her eyes. "As I said before, on three. One...two...three!"

The three bolted down the White Linoleum Road as fast as they could. A yellow car nearly ran Joey over. A red truck clipped the back of Tea's heel, making her stumble, but she righted herself and kept going. Mokuba was holding her hand with a death grip, and when he tripped, she kept going, and he was lifted into the air by her quick flight and pulled after her. He was flapping in the wind like a flag.

"We're almost there, guys!" Tea exclaimed.

"I'd like some eggs," Joey said to no one in particular.

Just then a wide limo shot towards them. They all ended up plastered on the hood and windshield.

"Hurry! Get off!" Tea cried. "We can't lose the White Linoleum Road!"

"My hair's stuck in the windshield wipers!" Mokuba wailed.

"I'm too sleepy," Joey offered.

Tea peeked over the limo and watched in dismay as the White Linoleum Road faded quickly behind them. A sunroof panel on the top of the limo slid open, and a hand with a sign made from a sheet of paper appeared. The sign plainly said GET OFF MY CAR.

"Guys! Follow me!" Tea said, and she climbed on the top of the limo. Mokuba savagely bit through his hair close to where it was attached to the windshield wipers and followed her. Joey brought up the rear, not bothering to tell Tea her school uniform's skirt was flying up.

Tea crawled across the top of the limo to the sunroof and dropped into the backseat. Mokuba followed suit. Joey tried to follow, but SLAM! instead he decided to bang his head against the top of the limo. Then he got a clue and dropped into the sunroof. It started closing, however, and grabbed his pant leg. He stopped his descent to the floor suddenly, and was hanging in the air like a idiot piƱata.

Tea found herself sitting beside Seto Kaiba. He had a headset on and was working on a laptop. "When I told you mock hitchhikers to get off my car, that wasn't an invitation to come in," he said in his traditional cold voice.

"Too bad," Tea said. "It's your fault Joey and Mokuba and I got knocked off the White Linoleum Road, so it's fair payback."

"Whatever," Kaiba said. "Look, why don't you and your idiot and your...what is that thing on my leather seat?"

"Try a human boy!" Mokuba yelled angrily.

"Actually, I think he's a cockroach," Joey suggested.

"Whatever. Why don't you let me drop you off at the next corner before you ruin my day further," Kaiba said. "I don't need you messing up my--" he stopped when his eyes fell on Tea's feet. "Wait minute. Those are the jet-black-knee-length-spike-heeled Ebony Boots, aren't they?"

Tea nodded. "Mai the Good and Attractive and Sought After Witch of 8:00 gave them to me."

"Is that so?" Kaiba said. "Well, shoot me and steal my limo. I thought The Wicked Witch of 7:00 had them, and was ruling Summitland with them."

"You really wannus 't do dat?" Joey asked, and Mokuba backhanded him.

"Not anymore," Tea said, both she and Seto ignoring Mokuba's and Joey's antics. "I was heading home when a sharp wind came down the hall on the first floor. I jumped into a locker with Mokuba, and the wind blew our locker up to 'Summitland' and we fell on The Wicked Witch of 7:00."

"Did you kill her?" Seto Kaiba asked.

"Of course not," Mokuba said. "The rating of this story isn't high enough to include death. She just turned into a pile of dust and blew out the window."

"Hel-lo-o! Little help hea?" Joey exclaimed, still trying to escape the sunroof's clutches. Seto pushed a button on his armrest, and the sunroof opened slightly, releasing Joey's pants and letting him fall to the carpeted floor with a muffled--you guessed it--SLAM!

"Now we're following the White Linoleum Road to Cafeteria City, where The Wizard of Domino High is supposed to be," Tea said.

"Or at least we were," Mokuba butted in.

Joey was still picking himself up from the floor and couldn't add anything.

"Well, excuse me," Seto said. "I'm sorry." But he didn't really mean it. "Tell me, why are you hunting the Wizard of Domino High down anyway?"

"I'm going to ask him where the exit is, so Mokuba and I can go home," Tea said.

"And I'm gonna ask 'im for a brain," Joey put in, sitting beside Mokuba and across from Tea and Seto.

Seto "huh"ed in contempt. "Well, you could use one, moron." He was silent for a moment. "Actually, I was just using all of my well-placed connections to find Cafeteria City's location myself."

"Why?" Mokuba asked.

"I want to ask the Wizard for a heart," Seto said. "I have to admit I'm tired of yelling at accountants and slamming morons like you, Joey, with witty remarks. I'd like a vacation from that, if only for a while."

"Um, aren't hearts forever?" Mokuba asked.

"I'll cut a deal with the Wizard," Seto retorted.

(to the tune of "If I Only Had A Heart")

"I do business, but it's mean
My conscience, never clean
My words cold, harsh, and tart
I could make nicer plans
I might be a better man
If I could only get a heart

I call names, and scowl and sneer
You're never welcome here
I might tear you apart
I might wave, I might smile
Be nice once in a while
If I only had a heart

Oh, I could talk to kids
And tell someone of nice things that I did
And not worry about flipping my lid
Any smiles, no longer hid--den

I am rich, and well known
A business man on my own
And also very smart
But it won't be much good
If I don't do what I should
And to do that, I need a heart."

"Well, the way to get to Cafeteria City, and the Wizard, is to follow the White Linoleum Road. We have to go back and find it," Tea told him, turning off the CD player.

"So I see," Seto said. "Driver, pull this rattletrap over." The limo soon slowed and stopped, and the chauffeur told Seto he'd be there in a moment to open the door. So they waited for him.

And waited for him.

And waited for him.

"Um, where is he?" Tea asked about twenty minutes later.

"He's on his way," Seto said. "This is a stretch limo."

"Never mind." Tea opened the door herself.

"Wait!" Seto said. "Don't--!"

Tea stepped out--and fell forward when she found nothing but air. "Aiyeeeeeeeeeeee!" she screamed. Seto and Joey grabbed her arms and pulled her back into the limo. Seto shut the door.

"What was that?!" Mokuba exclaimed.

"The NOChauffeur void," Seto said. "You have to let the chauffeur open the door for you in limousines. If you open it yourself, the void will appear, and you'll fall in. You'll fall forever."

They all stared at the door. "Wow, and I thought rich people did that just because they were lazy," Mokuba commented.

Finally the chauffeur arrived and opened the door. They all stepped out, and the NOChauffeur void was gone. Seto was carrying his briefcase. "Take this thing home," he ordered, and the chauffeur started running for the front door.

"All right," he said, opening his briefcase. "On your knees, Idiot Boy." He forced Joey down on his hands and knees and settled his laptop on Joey's back like he was a table. Seto got down on one knee to type in it. "We'll use my Ultra Power Surveillance Satellite 9000 to locate the White Linoleum Road. Let's see now..." he kept typing. "It's a mile directly south." He closed his laptop and put it back in his briefcase. Joey got up from the ground.

"Then we'd better hurry," Tea said. "Like Mai said, the Wicked Whatever-he-is of 11:00 will be after us soon."

"Then we're off to see the Wizard!" Mokuba cheered.

"We're off t' see Da Wizard!" Joey repeated.

"Yeah, well, you're fired," Seto said into his cellphone.

"We're off to see the Wizard!" Tea cheered.

They all linked arms, with Seto on the end so he could continue to talk through his cellphone, and started skipping down the sidewalk in search of the White Linoleum Road. (Seto-Tea-Joey-Mokuba)

"We're off to see the Wizard
The Wizard of Domino High
They say he's great, at any rate
And will not pass us by
We're goin' to see him, we are we are
It's just too bad we left the car
The car, the car, the car, the car, the caaaaar
So we're gonna see him just as we are
We're off to see the Wizard
The Wizard of Domino Hiiiiiiiiigh!"

Jesselda: It gets worse! (smiling)

Toli: Yeah, this story's evil. (smiling)

Mena: O.O; Uh, why are you guys smiling so big?

Jesselda/Toli: (evil grins)


Next time in Chapter Five...Why are there horses in this school...anyway?

"Hey, horses!" Mokuba said. "Let's ride 'em!" He was over the fence before anyone could say yay or--

"Neigh!" Mokuba cheered as he ran for a horse. "Let's ride!"

"Hold up, Mokuba!" Tea said, climbing over the fence. Joey climbed over after her, and Seto stepped up and down the rails like they were stairs. Mokuba had thrown himself over the back of a gray horse in three seconds. "C'mon, let's ride, Tea!" he pleaded.

"Okay, but you shouldn't start neighing," Tea said. "You could scare them." She climbed up on the horse beside Mokuba's, a brown one with white spots on its face. Joey leaped up to a dark brown horse and SLAM! fell off on the other side. Seto stepped up on a stirrup like it was a stair and climbed onto the back of a black horse.

Joey leaped up on the horse's left side and SLAM! fell off on the right side.
