Chapter 4- How to Split Up to Kill Mary Sues
Beastfire: Hello, all! Time for another fun-filled chapter of "Invasion of the Mary Sues"! Aren't you all excited? (crickets chirping) Uh…okaaaaaaay.
(Ivy's POV)
Shorty's eating, but what else is new? We've all reached a low point in our planning against the Perfectionary Menace. We have no idea where to begin.
"HEY!" I hear Frus yelling at Shorty.
From what I can see, Frus was working on something like some kinda iron puzzle, and Shorty got hungry. I watch Shorty just finish eating the thing, and Frus getting really mad. He's kinda cute when he's angry…
"Shorty," I laugh. "Give it back."
"Okay," says Shorty unenthusiastically.
She lifts up her shirt, exposing her torso and a doorknob where her naval should be. The others all watch this with intense curiosity. Shorty turns the knob and opens a small door. Everyone's eyes grow to the size of watermelons at this sight.
"Is that a DOOR in her stomach?" Frus asks.
"Yeah," I tell him, unfazed.
"Okay, so why does she have a door there?" asks Senya, a little disturbed.
"That's a normal thing for her home planet."
"So, is there supposed to be a leprechaun in there?" Liam wonders aloud.
"Well, her brain happens to be in her stomach, and that leprechaun is kinda mental, y'see, so I guess maybe."
"So," Jinmay decides to change the subject, "any idea where to find the Mary Sues?"
"No," I tell her. "But I know that they had to be created by someone."
"Who do you think created them?" is the next question, coming from Ichigo.
"Maybe we should split up so we can cover more ground," suggests Liam.
"Good idea," I hear Lugh agree. "Maybe we should go into three groups of three and the other two stay here in case any information comes in."
So, the three group leaders are Liam, Senya, and Nova. Man, it's like gym class all over again…and I was always picked last. A bad feeling comes into the pit of my stomach. Senya chooses Ichigo, Nova picks Lugh (big surprise there), and Liam picks Frus. Then, Ichigo picks Shorty, Lugh chooses Jinmay, and Frus decides on me. Jet and Malachite are chosen to stay behind.
"Why us?" Jet asks, more than a little disappointed.
Senya says that she would have chosen Jet if Ichigo didn't choose Shorty.
"But why can't Ivy and Frus stay here?"
"Well," says Liam, "my group's checking to see if the Mary Sues or their creator are in some kind of underwater lair, and Ivy's the best swimmer here."
"Besides," I tell Jet, "maybe Otto'll come back here and you can try to snap him out of it."
This actually works, as Jet calms down a bit.
"We're gonna check out the city," says Senya, and I know she intends on staying on land for some reason.
"We'll check out the air," Jinmay decides, as Nova is too busy salivating over Lugh.
So, Senya's group leaves first, then Nova's. Jet and Malachite settle themselves by the computers and me, Frus, and Liam go on our way.
Beastfire: And that's it for chapter 4. I know it was short, but there wasn't much I could do with it. Sorry! I'll try and make the next one longer. Hopefully, this'll be the shortest one. Next time, Senya, Ichigo, and Shorty meet up with a couple of the guys and get a nasty surprise…DUDE! That rhymed!
Frus: Shorty's got a door in her stomach?
Ivy: Yeah.
Shorty: (opens door again) See? (leprechaun is taking a shower)
Leprechaun: D'ya mind, lassie? (slams door shut)
Ivy, Frus, and Beastfire: O.o Ooooooookaaay… That was random…
Beastfire: Please review!
