Happy Hour at the Gunsmoke Saloon!
Chapter Seven: Guests and Rabid Meryl
Legato and Vash were in an intense battle. A battle of wits…a battle of the minds…..a battle….to end all battles.
"Paper, Scissor, Rock, Shoot!" Vash and Legato shouted in unison.
"Legato, stop using your telekinesis!!!!" Vash whined after losing for the 20th time.
"…Um…Vash, if you used something other than 'donut' you might win…" Knives said.
"Yeah, donut isn't even in the game…." E.G said, looking at Vash oddly.
"I don't care!!! DONUT RULES ALL!!!" Vash yelled, making the 'donut' sign, which was really just the sign for rock with a hole in the middle. Know what I mean? Yeah, me either….O.o
Suddenly a trio of girls walked in through the saloon-style swinging doors. After all, this is a saloon, so why shouldn't there be swinging doors? The first girl was thin and had dark blonde hair. She was wearing boy's clothes and a name tag that said "Hello my name is SaZ!" She kept twitching for some odd reason. The second girl had bright orange hair and wore a shirt that said "Shake it Knivesy!" She also had a name tag that said "Hello my name is Sadie! I *heart* Evil Bishies!" (Knives and Legato sweatdropped) The last girl was wearing a shirt that said "Trapt" on it, green pants, and a name tag that said "Hello My Name Is Rachel, and if you touch Vash, I'll kill you! ^_^".(Vash twitched) She had brownish hair with black streaks and she was hugging a Vash the Stampede plushie.
"Who are th--" Legato began. Pyro shoved him out of the way and ran up to the newcomers. Legato flew into the wall and slid down to the floor. "Ow…." The loveable psycho said tearfully. Pyro felt bad and gave him a bag of cookies. They were oreos! Legato walked off munching on his cookies happily. Zazie glared at him jealously and was suddenly struck by lightning. Pyro ran back over to the confused group at the door.
"Welcome to the Gunsmoke Saloon! Just let me get the release forms…" Pyro dug into her trench coat and pulled out a spatula.
"…wrong pocket…" She fished around and pulled out a Knives plushie. "Uh…how'd that get in there?...." She said, glancing around at the looks of horror on everyone's faces. Then she threw it over her shoulder and it hit Knivesy.
"….Well, that's creepy AND disturbing! I, for one, am appalled." Knives said, looking at the tiny, soft, huggable version of himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~10 Minutes Later~*~*~*~*~*~
Pyro kept pulling out random objects from her trench coat and throwing them over her shoulder. Every now and then an object would hit someone. SO far, Zazie had been struck with an octopus, a toaster, Kuroneko (who latched onto his face as soon she made contact), and about thirty Knives plushies. Knives huddled in the corner, almost crying.
"Life is so unfair," he muttered, as he watched Pyro pull out another plushie of himself.
"Aha! I remember where I left them now!" Pyro said triumphantly. She ran over to Vash, reached into his trench coat, and pulled out…..
A pair of red polka-dotted boxers!
"Hey!! Don't undress me!!" He yelled, snatching his boxers back.
"Uh…whoops….sorry Vash…" Pyro said, reaching into his trench coat again and pulled out the release forms.
"Ok…they just say that I'm not responsible for any mauling, damage, loss of limbs, etc….it also says that incase you die, we can feed your body to Meryl. She hasn't eaten in a few days…"
Meryl was in a cage in the corner of the room. She was rocking back and forth in the fetal position, muttering to herself and foaming at the mouth.
"Kay!" said SaZ, signing the form and running off to poke the caged up Meryl with a stick she found. Rachel turned to Pyro.
"…y'know…I'm only in this because you asked me to be…" She muttered.
"And 'cause I promised you Vash!" Pyro smiled happily. Vash's eyes widened. Rachel twitched and tackled Vash, hugging him tightly. Vash glared up at Pyro from the floor.
"I….hate….you…"
Sadie, meanwhile, calmly walked up to Knives and Legato, who both trembled with fear. She pointed to her shirt and nodded. Knives shook his head. She nodded again. Knives shook his head again. She nodded and pulled out a squirt gun filled with yogurt. Legato ran off screaming, and everyone looked at him oddly. Knives' eyes widened. Sadie grinned and shot streams of yogurt at his feet.
"Shake it, Knivesy!!!" She yelled. Knives hopped around, trying to avoid the streams of yogurt aimed at his feet. Legato ran around shrieking in the background. Suddenly, Knives slipped on a particularly large and nasty patch of yogurt. He flew across the room and crashed into Legato. Then they both flew into a wall, but only Knives passed out. Legato stood over him, poking him with a twig that he found.
SaZ was sitting in front of Meryl's cage and poking her with a stick. Meryl sat there, twitching insanely.
"….uh…SaZ?..." Pyro asked.
"Huh?"
"Um….you know the saying 'Never poke a sleeping bear in the eye'..?"
"…..yeah…."
"Well….the same goes for Meryl….only, I'd take the bear any day…" Pyro said, pointing at the cage. Meryl was convulsing and steam was coming out of her ears. She began to pry the bars apart with her bare hands. SaZ dropped the stick.
"Oh…crap….RUN!!!" Everyone ran as the cage exploded. Meryl ran over to the first person she saw, which happened to be Zazie.
"No, Meryl! No!!" Zazie screamed, trying to run. Too bad his short little kid legs were no match for Meryl's short little adult legs. Meryl tackled him, and he shrieked, getting terribly mauled. Next, Meryl spotted Wolfwood. She charged at him.
"OH MY GOD!" He yelled, and ran for his LIFE!
"Well, this ought to be a good chase scene." Legato said, peeking out from behind the bar.
~*~*~*~10 seconds later~*~*~*~
Wolfwood was cornered in….well…the corner.
"….Guess not." Legato said, eating popcorn and watching. Meryl was just about to charge when SUDDENLY she was hit in the back of the head with an oar by SaZ. Wolfwood twitched. Pyro picked Meryl up and put her in a tiny box.
"SaZ, how'd you do that?" Wolfwood asked, still freaked out.
"Well, I grabbed this conveniently placed oar and hit her in the head!" SaZ said, grinning.
"…I'm getting booooored…" Knives said.
"Hey Knives, weren't you unconscious?" Legato asked.
"So?"
"Right."
"Hey!" Sadie yelled, jumping between them. "Let's play Hide n' Go seek!!!"
"Ok!"
"Wooo!"
"Yeah!!"
"…..^_^…..!!!"
"All right!"
"Who's it?!?!" Vash asked, jumping up and down.
"Hm. Good question! I piiiiiick…..Rachel!" Pyro yelled, pointing at Rachel.
"Why me?!"
" 'Cause I'm the author, and I said so!" Pyro said, sticking out her tongue. Rachel grabbed the oar from SaZ and smacked Pyro in the head.
"Ow….ducks!!" Pyro said, falling over.
"….uh…whatever…." Rachel said. She began to count and everyone scattered.
Next chapter…some more cameos ^_^….and Hide N' Seek! Hm…kind of a cliffy….not really though…O.o
