A.N./ You're right, Oracle. Now that I actually think about it, it does sound like your version of Claire. Sorry bout that, but thanks for reviewing, everyone!
For any Disclaimer I may have forgotten: I do not own DC2. And, how my life stands now, I probably never will.
CH3: Donny's Plan
Claire sluggishly wondered from room to room, following the little yellow arrows on the wall. She didn't want to get lost. Conda couldn't get enough of chocolate. He was on his seventh chocolate bar. He was plastered in chocolate. His face was a mess, and he had chocolate on his clothes too. It was disgusting to look at. Claire faced the wall to keep from looking at the chocolate beast.
Not a single thing happened…no people popped out at them, no eerie noises, no rubber bats flew down at them…nothing at all. Claire was beginning to think she was right about this haunted house. It SUCKED. The only things she heard were Monica screaming, but that was a while ago. She also heard Max yelling, although she couldn't tell what he was yelling about. Something about Monica bringing a weapon was all she heard. How come she never had any fun…?
Flash Back1:
"Hey Max! Wanna go on a walk around town?" Claire asked as she ran up to Max. The boy thought for a couple seconds, and then replied. "O--" But he was cut off by Monica. "Max! We need to get back to Venicco. We told Pau we would get that medicine for Shigura. If we don't hurry the poor sea dragon's wound might get infected, remember?" She asked the boy. Max nodded, "Yeah, that's right. Sorry Claire!" he said as he ran off with Monica. She knew what Max was going to say…he was going to accept her offer and walk around town with her. But no…Monica had to ruin it… But then again, they were on a quest to restore the world…
Flash Back 2:
"Max! Wanna go to the Finny Frenzy? Come on, it'll be fun!" Claire grabbed the boy's wrist, and began to run. She dragged him with her…but she came to a halt, not of her own will. Monica had grabbed Max's other arm, and was pulling him the opposite way. "Max! Let's go kill some monsters in the Rainbow Butterfly Woods. Come on, it'll be fun. We can set up a picnic there too, after we kill some monsters!" She said as she pulled him. Claire let go, being the sweet person she is. "Sorry Claire!" She heard Max yell as he ran off with Monica.
Flash Back 3:
"Max! Look at these!" Claire said as she held out two tickets. "Ta-daa! They're two tickets to the circus!" She stated. "A real circus." She pointed out. Max gave her a nervous smile. "But Claire…you know I hate the circus…" He said. Claire frowned. Just then, Monica popped up. "Max! Look at these!" She said as she held out two tickets. "Ta-daa! They're two tickets to a rock band in the future!" She smiled. Max became confused, but it soon turned into a happy, curious expression. "Rock band? I dunno what it is, but it sounds awesome!" Monica's smile grew bigger, but Claire frowned. "Come on, Max! We got to get to a time gate!" And, once again…Max ran off with Monica, leaving Claire all alone.
End of Flash Backs…
It was official now… I hate you, Monica Raybrant!
Group 3:
"Hehehe…golly! This baby sure has a lot of different switches and buttons!" Donny hollered in his usual hillbilly type voice. He began to read the small labels above the switches and buttons. "Let's see…this one says 'walls' this one over here says 'floor' and this one here says 'ceiling'." He stated as he examined the buttons. Mena tugged on Donny's shoulder. The boy turned to her.
"I don't think you should mess with this…" She said in a nervous tone. Donny smiled. "I already told you, it'll be OK. I mean, it's just a harmless haunted house…right?"
"Here goes." Donny said as he hit the 'floor' button.
Group 1:
Monica and Max walked on…it seemed this hallway never ended. Suddenly, the floor under Max's feet opened up. It was a trap door! Max grabbed onto the edge, saving himself from falling.
"Whoa!" Max exclaimed. He held on with one hand, but he was slipping slowly. Monica knelt down by the edge of the trap door. She laughed a little. "Haha…" Max laughed sarcastically. "A little help here…" He stated. Monica didn't move, she just knelt there. "What?" Max asked. "You're not still angry 'cause I yelled at you…are you?" He asked. Monica had a dull expression on her face. "Do I look like I'm still mad?" She replied. "A little…" he said.
Max looked down the pit. It wasn't a far drop. He could let go then easily climb out. He was about to let go when the floor at the bottom of the pit moved farther down. As it did this, Max could swear he heard an elevator noise. Tck…great. He thought. As he thought this, giant spikes pierced through the floor at the bottom of the pit. Aw' come on! He thought as an anime style sweat drop went down his head.
"Monica…" he whispered. "Yes?" She answered. "HELP ME OUT OF HERE!" He yelled in her face. Monica grabbed his wrist, and pulled him out. They both stood. They looked at each other. Max sighed, and he turned to continue on. More things popped out at them; cardboard skeletons, rubber bats, and other crappy decorations. Monica disabled them all…she was so alert now, that the slightest movement caused her to berserk out and destroy something.
Group 3:
Donny stood there, shocked. A big smile found it's way across his face, and he yelled out, "This is so awesome!" Mena was beginning to worry, that last button almost killed Max. This computer was dangerous. Donny, however, began to shuffle his hands. "Hehehe…I wonder what crazy things I can make these guys do…" He began hitting switches and buttons.
Group 1:
The lights went out of control. They started to flicker and go out. Monica began swinging her sword blindly. "Ahhhyahyahyahyahyah!" She shrieked. Max tried to calm her down. "Monica! Stop that before you hur—ahh!" Monica accidentally cut Max's arm. He quickly grasped the wound and applied pressure with his hand. "You're insane!" He yelled at her. Max ran off, way far away, he just randomly selected doors to run through. He had to get away from that girl. Minutes passed. Monica stood there. Now that she was alone…being in the Moon Flower Palace unaccompanied began to creep her out. Max is right…I'm over-reacting…there's nothing to be afraid of… "N-n-nothing at all…" she said to herself.
Max:
Max ran through rooms, doors, hallways, he just ran. He finally stopped, a little exhausted. He slouched against a wall. That wasn't a good idea…Monica's all alone…who knows what she'll do! "This is just great…" He said aloud sarcastically. Monica is alone, she'll probably tear this place apart. Max then finally came to realize where he was. This is… He looked around the room. It was the area that they had fought Griffon. Moonlight was pouring into the room, giving light to it. Out of the blue, like what he was just thinking about had no purpose, he heard a familiar voice. "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax!" She yelled. Claire… The boy thought. He sighed…where did she come from? Oh well, at least it wasn't Monica. He would have went insane if it was that girl. She grabbed him. "Max! Yay!" She yelled. She was hugging him so hard, that he was starting to suffocate. "Where's C-Con…da?" He managed to get out. She let him go. "Oh…that chocolate monster? I ditched him with Monica not to long ago." She said with a smile.
Group…Aw forget it! Conda and Monica!
"Get away from me! You-you monster! I'm warning you!" Monica hollered as she backed up against the wall, her sword pointed at the chocolate smothered monster. It groaned, as it held its arms out and walked closer to her. She attacked the thing with the broad side of her sword. She closed her eyes as it was hit. She heard a small splash…and when she opened her eyes… "W-What the! Err… its stuck!" The sword had gotton stuck in the sticky chocolate that covered the creature. She desperately tried to free it, but she had to get away from it. She ditched the sword and ran.
Donny
"God blasted computer!" Donny slammed his fists onto the keyboard. All the screens said, 'Error 404.' He bit his bottom lip. "Err…screw this thing!" He hit the big red button that read, 'Hit in case of Error 404'. As he did this, a new window opened on the screen, it read. 'Error 405'. "Son of a…!" He put a finger on his chin, and began to think. "Golly! Ctrl-Alt-Delete!" He hit the buttons, ctrl alt and delete at the same time…only to see… 'Error 406!' His jaw dropped to the floor. Furious, he chucked the chair at the computer. He clenched his fist as the computer began to spark, which soon became a blaze. "Hehe…take that you heap of junk!" He laughed, when all of a sudden, out of a small printer, a sheet of paper was printed out. Mena grabbed it, and showed it to Donny. 'Error 407: Chucking Chair At Computer: Prepare for complete melt-down.' "Uh-oh…" They both said in unison.
A.N./ God I hate that dang Error 404 thing! I figured it add a little more humor, so I put it in the fic. Tell me how it was! Review review! Next chapter is the final one!
