-Scrambled Dimensions-
In a back-alley of a night city, three figures, one after another, jumped out from thin air. It was something unusual, for the city of Heart was never this odd. It was a good thing that no one was present during the three's arrival. Otherwise, a ruckus would've occurred, and that would be troublesome. In any case, these three rose-toting people realized that they were from a fiasco that they didn't know, and that they must figure out how to get out from the trouble they were facing.
"I apologize," a silver-haired brown lupine with shiny mahogany eyes, wearing blue, rubber-like but comfortable suit, and matching white gloves, black belt, and white boots, excused himself as he bit a piece of thornless rose. "My name is Lupe Leon. I am from a far-away place named Terra System! You boys ought to bow down to the magnificent me!" The other two people, a black panther and a brown fox, just gave a stare to each other.
The panther just roared calmly, "I am Panther Caroso." A feline with a white scar on his right cheek, yellow eyes, and wearing a silver armor crafted with a rose emblem at the chest plate, a blue inner suit, and white gloves and boots, swayed his rose to his left ear. "I am from Lylat… I think Terra is just near to that place, am I not right?"
"You two are a bunch of wierdos," the gruff brown fox with black ears and a scar on the muzzle, donning a black pirate's hat, blue coat, white shirt with the collar wide open, black pants, and brown gloves and boots, dissed them. "Why do you have to flail your roses like that? Is this some sort of parade?" Lupe and Panther simply pointed the rose stuck on the fox's hat, making this person blush. "What? Can't this pirate enjoy being a hunk? Whatever… Name's Ein…"
"Ah okay, nice," the brown wolf asked them as he marched towards the end of the alley, ending at the sidewalk. "You know, I'd rather invite you two to a nice inn for us to discuss what in heaven's name had happened, but I guess you two like to have tea in this bodacious, I mean remarkable alley!"
"And where exactly are you going to pay them, Lupe?" the fox pirate winked at him. For a second, Lupe was stunned. "Ah… Looks like you two have to stick to this seafarer! I was lucky to bring my trusty Leprechaun Wallet found in the isle of Big Bay! I can pay anything until we get back to our dimensions!"
Panther glanced around him a bit, and figured that he might be lying. "So, where is this money of yours, hmm?" he teased Ein a bit. "I don't see any bulge from your pockets… that is, if you have any pockets at all…"
"Oh just follow me, my fellow rose lovers!" the pirate simply gave a smile to assure them. Lupe and Panther had a bit of doubt inside of them, but they followed anyway, since there was no other way to spend the night in that world they stumbled, a world were everybody calls…
Chapter 5 - Lovely World
The three entered the nearby inn called Hotel de Passion. Though they didn't do a grand entrance, everybody was surprised to see them. Well, mainly, it was because most of the population was humans. The people thought of them as either weird people inside a suit of an animal, a circus performer of some sort. In any case, that approach didn't long. Soon, everybody was back doing their business.
Ein, Panther, and Lupe approached the clerk at the counter. The pirate immediately began the transaction, "Yo, funny man with that weird hairdo, give the three of us a room with the best of your luxuries! And room service!"
The grumpy man, who was best described with what the fox said earlier, simply glared at him with a ferocious look. "How dare you filthy circus creatures entering the establishment!" he growled at them. The pirate didn't want to hear a blunder, so he showered the desk with gold coins from that wallet of his. The golden pieces continued to drop, making it impossible for the magic purse to contain them all. Astounded, the clerk gulped back the words he was about to spit out and ordered an attendant to come near them. "Your rooms are ready, sirs! It is in the ninth floor, room 907. Enjoy your stay!"
"Now we're talking!" Panther grinned as he rubbed his palms. He followed the two to the elevator and off to the room.
The attendant opened the room 907 for them. As they took their first step, they were amazed with the size of the interior. It was big! There were three bedrooms, one lounge complete with a set, and a kitchen. The bathroom was evenly placed in each quarter as well. As the bellboy was about to tour them with the facilities, Lupe closed and locked the door. Poor man, for he wasn't even given a tip.
"Ahh… This is the life!" the feline snarled as he dove to the sofa. He took off his armor and his upper suit. "That was really hot out there… At least I can feel my fur being breezed by the air conditioner here!" He raised his arms up, revealing his armpits and his toned torso.
Lupe, on the other hand, was annoyed. "Put some shirt on! My goodness… people this days," he grumbled as he looked away. He then saw a mirror and approached it. "Ah… Lupe… I'd rather look at you forever," he giggled as he attempted to look cute at the mirror.
"Guys, guys!" Ein took their attention. "Listen, we mustn't waste time! According to my Magic-O-Compass, there's a big source of ethereal, supernatural force around here! We can use that source to go back to our dimensions!" He then opened the corridor-window and took out his spyglass with his right hand. "Hmm… It's in this direction," he whimpered as he looked around. After a few minutes though, something hit him, and it wasn't the source. His left arm was shaking, his tail was wagging, and his fur was standing up.
"Ein?" Panther wondered as he noticed the pirate shaking. "Um, what's gotten into you?"
"Lovely!" the fox spoke out while showing his large set of teeth. He didn't take his eyes away from the telescope, though. "Oh… take them… take them off!" He swayed his left arm as if he was pulling something out of the air. His cheeks were reddish and drool was slipping from his chin. "Dear merciful heaven… please let the wind snap it off!"
Lupe pulled the vulpine's tail, startling him from the device. "What are you looking at there, pirate?" the wolf growled as he pointed the scenery of the night city.
"Oh, you wouldn't believe what I saw!" the buccaneer giggled with his red face. "I was lucky enough to catch the source of supernatural energy to a ladies' dressing room! They were… cooling off… I think they were having a show at a casino!" He then showed his veined fist and told them, "I know they need my help in there! I wish I could help them in their needs!"
The feline just scoffed, "Hmph, as if they're going to allow a closet pervert like you! Besides, I don't think you have the guts to come up and tell them…"
"Are you angry because you weren't able to see the scene?" the fox chuckled. Panther slightly coughed out from his statement. "I thought so! Here, take a peek!" He dragged the feline to the eyepiece of the spyglass. The black panther made a simple peek, which was followed with a thrust of the telescope to his eye.
"Oh… hot! Too hot!" he meowed as his tail flailed back and forth. He gradually scratched his chest, and he occasionally rubbed his eye. His fur was standing, and his voice was simply mutilated with a plethora of a feline roar, meow, growl, and snarl. "Ah… many! Rawr!"
"And look, you've pulled him into the pit of sin with you!" Lupe angrily protested. Now before going on, this lupine had no grudge against the opposite sex. He just liked himself, yes, himself, more than the ladies - a narcissist. However, Ein's understanding wasn't the same.
The fox pirate made a big grin and glared at Lupe fiercely. "Ah okay," he concluded as Panther took out his observation at the spyglass. "You're a magnet! That proves it! You know, different poles repel, same poles attract. Heh, it doesn't take a land-lubber to figure it out!"
The silver-haired wolf knew what he meant by that. "What did you say?" he growled as he looked fiercely at Ein. His stare was then taken below the belt. "Hmm… I see… I see what you mean…"
"No way, is that true?" the pirate flabbergasted as he saw the wolf's eyes move. "And I thought I was kidding…" A powerful kaboom was suddenly heard. Something knocked Ein down to the ground. "What in DJ's locker…?" he griped as he stood up from the tiled floor. He then realized that his waist was hot, and that some black object was sticking out. As he pulled it out, he realized that it was the garter of his undergarment. "LUPE!" was the only thing he shouted as he showed the suspect a burnt rim.
"Hey, I helped you in your dreams!" the wolf reasoned out while giving a grin. "I forgot to mention to you that I am gifted with the ability to excite atoms by telekinesis, thus causing explosion, dear boys. Now you're one layer less away from your dreams!" He then laughed, which was followed by Panther. This however, gave the wolf a slight feeling of annoyance. He pointed to the moon at the sky, making the two look. He then said, "Say Panther, do you smell something?"
"Huh?" the feline wondered what he meant by that. When he finally realized it though, he was too late. Smoke was coming out from the rim of his pants around his waist, and afterwards, he was suddenly jumping up and down, as if something was burning in his pantaloons. "LUPE, CUT IT OUT!" he shrieked out, but it was, however, unfortunate, since pieces of burnt fabrics were seen falling from the leg holes of his trousers.

"Room service!"
Ein opened the door and saw the earlier bellboy. "Ah, you… Where are the underwear?" he asked as he pulled up his pants slowly.
The attendant gave him two boxes of fresh white underwear. "Here you are, sir," he spoke out. He then looked at the fox with a big wrong idea. "Um, sir, you shouldn't wear your undergarments after your… outer-clothing…"
"Duh! That's why they're called underwear!" Ein shouted back. "Who would be stupid enough to wear underwear outside? Some flying blue guy with a red cape?" He then shut the door quickly, leaving the poor bellboy without a tip once more.
A few minutes had passed since the incident. Lupe, along with Ein and Panther, whose undergarments were new, had finally thought of an idea. "Say, boys," he suggested, "let's sneak in to the casino where the supernatural force is building up… and I don't mean any testosterone driven energy…"
"Ah sure!" Ein replied while trying to hide his perverted look. "What are we wasting for? Time? Up, up, up!"
"Sweet bliss, am I not right?" Panther, who had put on his upper clothing and armor back, whimpered as he followed the fox. "We should hurry in the casino. We might get caught by the female performers, not that I don't want that to happen…"
All of that made Lupe simply sigh.
Thirty minutes later, they were at the interior of the casino. Many people were playing slots, doing dices, and a lot more gambling. Though Ein was tempted, he kept on hitting himself to his head the fact that he could meet beautiful women. He fantasized on a corner, until Lupe and Panther pulled him.
"Where's the path to the backstage?" Lupe inquired as he looked around. He saw three pig mascots entering a door guarded with two men in black suit and glasses. "Hey, let's enter there!"
"But what should we tell them?" Panther asked him, but it was too late. The wolf had already pushed him and Ein right in front of the guards. "Say… Lupe, do the exploding undies trick!"
"Nah, talk before trial!" the lupine told the panther as he faced the security. "Hello there, gentlemen!"
"Who are you?" one of the guards asked them. "Huh? Costumes…? Wait, aren't they…?"
"Ah yes, actors for Mr. Fox and Friends!" the other confirmed. "Please enter!"
The three passed the security and into the hallway of dressing rooms. "See, what did I tell you?" Lupe grinned as he once more, posed with his rose. "Now, Ein, look for the exact location of the source!"
"With pleasure!" the fox pirate smirked with a blush. He took out his Magic-O-Compass and followed the pointer. It continued to point north, until they reached a door with a label Pat and Cat's Dressing Room. "Pat and Cat… Sweet names!" he giggled as he grabbed the doorknob.
"Uh wait, Ein," Panther tried to halt the vulpine. "I don't think opening doors like that is good…" However, he was too late.
The fox pirate continued to flutter forward, until he bumped a blonde wearing bunny ears. She fell down and he landed on her chest. A loud sound was then heard. It went like this… EEEEEEKKKKKKKK!
