NOTE: Doo doo doo! It's part two! As tempting as it is, please don't touch any of the characters while they're busy in this story. There will be plenty of time afterwards for touching and autograph signing. And to answer a question, no, I don't think the characters are all really this insane. It'd just be so very funny if they were.

-: In New York City :-
Farina is walking down a random street…..
"There's got to be someone who needs my fighting skills." she says to herself. She walks up to a business man who is carrying a briefcase and talking on a cell phone. "Hello, sir. I would like to offer you my services for just-"
"I'm married!" the man cuts her off and keeps walking right past her.
"Okay…..not sure what that has to do with hiring a Pegasus Knight…" Farina mutters, already beginning to find the people of this world a bit odd. She walks over to the next man who just happens to be a police officer. "Hello sir, I'd like to offer you my services for just twenty-thousand-
"You're under arrest for prostitution!" he yells and handcuffs her.
"What?" she demands, her jaw dropping, "I was just-" she tries toexplainbut the man gags her.
"You have the right to remain silent." he tells her as he shoves her in a cop car.
"Mmmph!" is all poor Farina can reply.

Meanwhile, Rath and Nils are walking around……
"Why do you have to be my babysitter?" Nils is asking rudely.
"…"
"You're boring. You don't talk." Nils tells Rath, stating the obvious.
"…"
Nils suddenly spots a large building with kids all around it. "Lets go in there!" he says and drags Rath with him inside. Once in the door, they see that a lot of the kids are holding books. Looking at a banner, Nils tries to pronounce a foreign word. "El-e-men-ta-ry school. What's that, Rath?" the boy asks.
"…"
"What are you doing, young man?" says a voice and the two turn to find a teacher advancing on them with much anger. "Get to class right away!"
"Huh?" is all the baffled Nils can think to say.
"And what are those clothes you're wearing? It's not Halloween! You're going to the principal's office!" she screeches and drags the poor boy off.
"Ahhh! Help me, Rath!" Nils cries as he's pulled into a severe looking room.
"……" Rath says and gives a rare, small smile. His happiness at losing the boy is quickly shattered when a teacher pokes her head out of a kindergarten class. Seeing Rath, she jumps to conclusions.
"Oh! You must be the class visitor!" she exclaims. Rath just stares at her. He goes, against his better judgment, when the teacher tugs at his arm and brings him into the room. There are exactly twenty-five little kids sitting in a circle in small chairs. "Class, this is our visitor today! His name is..." the teacher looks to the nomad.
"……..Rath" he says after a long, awkward pause.
"Mr. Rath! Say hello, class!"
"Hello, Mr. Rath!" the children say cheerfully.
"……"
"Now you be good!" the teacher tells them as she takes a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, "I have to go to a very important meeting. " And with that the teacher walks out of the room, leaving Rath with the kids.
"Heeheeheehee…." they giggle mischievously, already getting out of their seats.
"……." Rath sighs and sweatdrops.

Sain is in a random club.
He walks up to some ladies sitting at the bar. "Hello, lovely ladies!" he greets them in his usual flirtatious manner, "Might you join this humble knight of Caelin for a drink?"
"Eeeek! Scary man!" the women cry out and begin digging in their purses for their cans of pepper spray.
"Hm? I assure you I mean no harm." Sain says, confused by their reactions. 'The women of this world really are quite strange!' he thinks. "I just saw your striking beauty and-"
"Stop sexually harassing us!" one of them screams. As Sain stares in befuddlement, another one runs to a cop standing by the bar
"Help! That man is harassing us!" the lady says, pointing at the hapless cavalier.
"I only wanted to-" Sain attempts, but the cop is already slapping handcuffs on him.
"That's enough drinks for you. I think a night in a cell will do you some good." the police officer says and drags him outside to his car. Sain is very upset.
"But I didn't even get a drink!"

Guy is standing at a street corner, looking lost.
"Let's see…." he mumbles to himself, thinking hard, "To get to the Statue of Liberty, I have to ride in something called a cab. And to get this "cab" to stop, I have to wave at it." A cab drives by. "There's one!" Guy says and waves his arms wildly at it. The cab driver just gives him a scared look and drives away. It could've been the way he was waving his arms, it could've been his clothing, or it even could've been the sword Guy had strapped to his side. Whatever the reason, Guy was going to have a lot of trouble getting a ride.

Back in the classroom….
The kids have formed a chain around Rath and are spinning in a circle while singing.
"….."
"Happiness runs in a circular motion, love is a little boat upon the sea. Everyone is a part of everything, anyways. You can be happy if you let yourself be! Pa papa pa pa papapa papapa pa papapapa papapapa. Pa papapa pa-"
"….." Rath is beginning to turn a sickly shade of light green.

At the jail. Sain is thrown in a cell next to Farina's.
"Sain?" Farina asks, happy to see a familiar face, even if it's his.
"Oh, fair maiden Farina!" Sain says, grabbing her hand. "How could anyone be so cruel as to suspect you of treachery and lock you in this dark dungeon?"
"Uhh….they thought I was a prostitute." Farina explains, removing her hand from his grasp. After all, she has no idea where that hand could have been! "What happened to you?"
"I only wished to have a drink with some lovely ladies and they accused me of harassment!" Sain huffed.
"Eh, don't worry. It's not so bad here. Meet some of my new friends." Farina replies, and she points to a large woman with a mohawk. "This is Big Bella-" she points at a guy with a tattoo that says 'My Mama Didn't Love Me' "-and this is Huge Hugh."
"Um, nice to meet you." Sain says hesitantly.
"Ugga." Big Bella says. Huge Hugh just grunts.
"We're making plans to bust out. Wanna help?" Farina asks him. Sain thinks for a moment, than shrugs.
"Eh, sure. Why not."

Guy has finally managed to get a cab to stop….
"Hi, um, I want to go to the Statue of Liberty." Guy tells the driver.
"Sta-too o' Lib-er-y?" repeats the driver in broken English.
"Uh, no. Statue of Liberty." Guy corrects him.
"Dat be what I say."
"Right. Just take me there." Guy says, getting in the cab. As soon as he's in it pulls sharply onto the road and goes a hundred miles per hour, dodging back and forth around cars.
"I think I'm about to- BLAAAAAAAH!" Guy throws up all over the front of the cab.
"AHH! The win' shield is covered in vomit!" the driver complains, distressed.
"Whoops. Sorry about that." Guy apologizes.
" AHHHH!" the driver screams and swerves wildly, unable to see where he's going. He crashes into a fire hydrant and the hydrant explodes, becoming a geyser of water. Guy climbs out of the banged-up vehicle.
"Well, don't expect payment for that!" Guy says. The cab driver is too dazed to reply.

Lucius is walking down a dark alleyway with a bunch of shopping bags.
"Oh my, I seem to be lost." he says, stopping and looking around. Some gangsters suddenly appear.
"Yo, blonde chick!" one of them says to Lucius. He probably would have been offended, but he did not understand the man's slang.
"Chick? I am certainly not a baby chicken." Lucius says, confused.
"Hehe, howz 'bout we see whatcha got in dem bags?" another gangster says, reaching for them. This Lucius understands. He hugs the bags close.
"MINE!" Lucius shouts. Raven appears out of the alley.
"What's going on here?" he demands. One of the gangsters waves to him.
"Yo, Rave-e-o!"
" Lord Raymond? You know them?" Lucius asks, shocked.
"Hey Lucius!" Raven greets him, then turns to the gang members. "This is my friend, yo. Leave him alone, dawgs."
"Whatever you say, boss." they consent.
"Who da man?" Raven asks.
"You da man!" the gangsters shout back.
"Who da man?"
"You da man!"
" WHO DA MAN?"
"YOU DA MAN!"
Lucius takes this time to back away slowly and then run off.

In the principal's office.
Nils is sitting in front of the principal's desk in a spinny chair.
"What is the meaning of this, young man?" the principal demands.
"The meaning of what?" Nils asks.
"Of, uh , whatever you were sent here for."
"I dunno." Nils answers and then starts to spin the chair.
"Stop that!" the principal scolds.
"Whee!" Nils says, not stopping.
"Sir?" says a secretary who has just walked in the room. The principal doesn't notice her and grabs Nils' chair.
"STOP SPINNING!" he shouts right in the boy's face.
"Um, sir." the secretary interrupts, tentatively. "You're needed in Kindergarten class A3 on floor four."
"You stay right here, young man, until I get back!" the principal orders.
"I will-" Nils begins to say, but the man has already left.
" -not." Nils finishes. "Eh. Oh well." He rolls the chair out of the office and through the front doors of the school. He then rolls it down the street and to the designated meeting point where Lucius, Raven, Farina, Guy, and Sain are already waiting.
"Hey guys!" he greets them happily as he rolls up.
"Hey Nils!" Farina says back, "Where's Rath?" Nils freezes.
"Oops."

In the kindergarten room.
Rath is taped to a chair along with various stuffed animals and colored paper. The kids are drawing on walls, gluing desks together, and throwing kids out the window.
(A/N: Remember the secretary said floor 4?)
The principal walks in angrily. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" Rath looks hopeful of rescue.
"Uh, recess?" says one little boy.
"Oh. Carry on." the principal says and leaves. The chaos continues.
"…." A single tear slowly makes its way down Rath's face.
------
---------
"Uhh, he said he'd come later." Nils lies to the others.
"Okay. Well, we better leave now." Farina tells him.
"Why?"
"Because-" Sain speaks up, "-apparently bashing a hole in the prison wall and letting hundreds of criminals loose in the city is frowned upon in this world."
"Oh. Let's go, then." Nils agrees and smiles.
