Chapter 1: Prelude to Insanity.

"7-4-6-2 and 8!" Said the lottery announcer guy on TV.

Hitoshi Kobe stared disbelievingly at the TV, and at the paper in his hand. He had just won the lottery! What will he win? A million dollars? A BILLION DOLLARS? He prayed that it would be something fantastic…

"You've won…A FABULOUS TRIP TO LAS VEGAS!" Announcer dude said.

"What?" Hitoshi asked the TV dumbly.

"Yes, a fabulous trip to Las Vegas! Where you will have a free two-night stay at a stupendous five-star hotel, and admission into any casino, even if you're only a kid!" He said.

"Las Vegas? Does that mean I have to win the millions by myself?" Hitoshi asked.

"Yes, yes it does."

"But I can't speak English well, and…hey, did you just answer me!"

"Umm…no."

"Hey, you did it ag-"

"Well, anyway, GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS!" Announcer dude interrupted nervously, then the TV magically shut off, and the tickets to Vegas poofed into his hands.

"Ok, where was I when someone decided that the laws of physics don't apply to life anymore?" Hitoshi mused aloud.

"Are you talking to yourself again?" Twenty said, walking in the room, with Thirty tagging along behind.

"That's not important!" Hitoshi said, and then held up the tickets. "We're going to Las Vegas!"

"…What's that?" Thirty asked.

"A city in the United States where you can make A LOT of money!" Hitoshi said.

Twenty counted the tickets. "How did the lottery people know that you needed three?" She asked.

"That's like asking how they were able to teleport them to me."

"Good point."

The next day, the trio had they're bags packed for the trip. In the taxi, Hitoshi wondered how he would be able to understand anything. Since he wasn't a good student (but was somehow able to make Twenty and Thirty and a bunch of other AI programs), he didn't remember what he was taught in English class. He also didn't remember if he programmed either Thirty or Twenty with a language program. So, he asked them.

"Thirty, can you speak English?"

She was silent for a few moments, and then snapped he fingers. "Yeah! I can!"

Hitoshi sighed in relief. "Good."

But Twenty was suspicious. "Ok then, let's hear it."

Thirty thought for a few moments, and then finally thought of something to say in English.

"The noodle dolly butchered the flying cheese under the skittles, taste the rainbow!" Thirty said triumphantly.

"What the heck did she just say?" Hitoshi whispered to Twenty.

"Complete and utter nonsense." Twenty responded.

AUTHORS NOTES:

Ok, now to discuss stuff! Obviously, they live in Japan, so, yeah. And I'm not using Yen, because it's too confusing! And when they talk in Italics, that means they're talking in English, because if I wrote the dialogue in Japanese, you wouldn't have a clue what's going on. And I don't own A.I. Love You! Ken Akamatsu does! And, no, I am not him.
