Chapter Three
5:00pm Chicago Airport
Peachie and Shikamaru sat playing "I Spy" again. Beth, Trowa, and Angiru were out making dinner at the café. Suke and Sakura were talking, sitting by the windows. Kakashi still lay on the floor out cold.
Angiru, Bethy, and Trowa returned a few minutes later with a tray of food each.
"It's Mexican tonight folks!" Angiru announced.
"No drab hot dogs for you kids." Bethy joined in.
"So you mean whatever you made is so disgusting you're trying to make us think its good, being better than hot dogs." Sasuke said not looking up.
"How dare you insult my cooking!" Angiru set the food down on a bench and ran after Sasuke who had gotten up and started to run.
"Hey Hey! No fighting! Rule Number 2 Angiru! Now come help us serve." Trowa yelled.
"Why don't we just set the trays here and serve it buffet style?" Bethy suggested.
Trowa and Bethy set their trays down and some plates too. Angiru and Sasuke stopped running and everybody got in line except Kakashi of course. (Still out cold...)
After everyone was done eating, it was about 6:30 pm, Peachie looked over at Kakashi. "Um guys, shouldn't we like wake him up?"
"Nah." Sasuke and Shikamaru said at the same time. Everyone started laughing that was awake, except Peachie.
"Hey guys. Before Kakashi wakes up, lets all hide and it'll freak him out when he wakes up!" Shikamaru suggested.
"Yah!" everyone agreed.
Sakura and Sasuke ran off. Trowa, Bethy, and Angiru ran the other way.
"I know the perfect place." Peachie said grinning.
Peachie led Shikamaru down a dark hallway till they got to a room labeled, 'Security.'
"In here?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yup, and this way we'll know if he's coming; plus where everyone else is." Peachie pushed open the door.
Peachie and Shikamaru walked in. It was like an office with one wall of TV's all hooked up to a camera somewhere. Peachie sat down in an office chair and Shikamaru pulled one up and sat in it as well.
"There's Sasuke and Sakura!" Shikamaru pointed to one of the screens.
Peachie looked and saw Sakura and Sasuke. They were walking into the girl's bathroom. She began giggling immediately.
"And there's Angiru, Bethy, and Trowa." Shikamaru pointed to another screen, right next to the one where they had just seen Sasuke and Sakura. Peachie watched and they too disappeared into the girl's bathroom.
Peachie almost fell over laughing so hard. "Great minds think alike."
"Ah and there's Kakashi!" Shikamaru pointed.
Peachie saw he was just waking up. "Ooo! I've got an idea Shikamaru, to warn them!" She jumped up and walked over to a microphone. She pressed the intercom button and spoke into the mic.
"This is your pilot for the 7:15 flight to Kakashiland. We will be boarding now and leaving immediately. Please get to the terminal immediately if you want to make the flight." Peachie said. She turned off the intercom and hoped everyone got the message. She sat back down next to Shika.
"Good idea Peachie!" Shikamaru praised her.
"Nothing really," Peachie blushed.
"Now it's time for the fun to begin!" Shika announced. They both watched Kakashi get up and stretch. Shika turned to sound on to that camera so they could hear what he was saying.
"Hey! Where did everybody go?" Kakashi exclaimed.
Peachie started giggling again.
"He's so funny when he's stupid…" Shikamaru laughed too.
They watched as he walked from screen to screen looking for people.
"Hey, here's a Japanese store!" Kakashi laughed and walked inside. They watched him take a bottle of sake from a shelf and walk out.
"Shikamaru, he really has a problem doesn't he?" Peachie asked.
Shikamaru didn't answer because he was laughing so hard.
Peachie watched him walk down hall after hall; taking long swigs from the sake every few feet.
"Aww, dang it! I gotta go!" Kakashi exclaimed after he had dropped the sake bottle in a trash bin.
Shikamaru fell out of his chair.
"Oh hey here are the bathrooms. Ooo, I never used the girl's restroom before." Kakashi said slyly.
Peachie gasped realizing it was the same bathroom Sakura, Sasuke, Angiru, Bethy, and Trowa were hiding in.
"What is it Peachie?" Shika asked as he came over the laughing
"Kakashi is getting ready to find everyone!" Peachie answered.
"That's why you don't hide together." Shikamaru said very know-it-all ish.
They watched as he walked in rather drunkenly and ran out being chased by
Sasuke, Sakura, Trowa, Angiru, and Bethy.
Shikamaru and Peachie fell over laughing. They watched as Suke finally caught
Kakashi and pinned him down.
"You pervert! Going into a girl's restroom! To use it of all things!" Sasuke yelled.
"Hey you were in there too!" Kakashi yelled back.
"Only to accompany my lady," Sasuke said defensively. Sakura nodded to
Confirm what Sasuke said as the truth.
"And Trowa too?" Kakashi asked.
"Trowa too," Sasuke answered.
"I'm guilty." Kakashi slumped. "Now let me go!"
Sasuke got up. "So what next guys?"
"We have yet to find Shika and Peachie, don't forget." Bethy said expertly.
"Hmm, well since we heard Peachie over the intercom, they must be in a control
room or security." Sakura said plainly.
"You're so smart." Sasuke said and hugged her. "Hey why don't we just leave um
where they are."
"NO!" everyone agreed.
"Now where is the fun in that!" Trowa asked.
"Oh fine." Sasuke put his hands up in defeat.
"So now that we're all together, let's split up." Angiru said very giggly.
"Yeah. We'll split up and look for Peachie and Shikamaru. When we find them,
we'll make a anouncement for everyone to return to our terminal." Sakura announced.
"Sound good?
"Sure," everyone agreed and split up into twos: Beth and Trowa, Angiru and
Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura.
Peachie looked at Shikamaru after watching this all happen. "Do we wait?"
Shikamaru looked into her eyes and smiled. "No, we run."
