Chapter 3: Meet Auntie Lacus

We're back for another round. And yes, your wishes will be answered. Sit back and enjoy! And one more thing. I just now noticed that first I said it was Sunday night and then I said it was Tuesday night in the last chapter, and just so you know it's supposed to be Tuesday. My bad!

Bermuda Triangle

"Can we kill Dearka Elfman or whatever the hell his name is?" Hikaru asked impatiently.

"You can try, but unless you wanna get stranded by yourself in this god forsaken place," Kira said, still deciphering the map.

"You know," Hikaru started. "You aren't helping very much by using that map. Try using landmarks instead, or if you had taken a right and then a left like I said we probably wouldn't be here right now. We'd already be at IHOP."

"Shut up!" Kira snapped. "I'm concentrating."

Hikaru sighed and said, "Alright, stupid. Since you won't listen to reason, I guess I'll have to find the damn place by my self."

Hikaru turned around to go the other way and crashed head on into a girl with long pink hair. In other words, she bumped into Lacus.

"Ouch!" Hikaru yelled. "Now I know never to do that again. Are you okay?" She offered her hand to help Lacus up.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Lacus replied. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get in the way like that. I was just going to ask you if you could tell me where to find Walgreens."

Hikaru pulled Lacus up by the hand. Too bad she didn't know that Lacus wasn't very heavy because she pulled a little too hard and fell backwards, knocking Kira over.

"What the heck was that for?" Kira shouted from underneath his cousin. "Get off me!"

"Sorry. I didn't mean it," Hikaru said rather subserviently. She then pulled Kira up, without falling over on account of the fact that Kira is a lot heavier than Lacus is.

IHOP

Cagalli, Athrun, and Timmy were all sitting happily, or I guess I should say Timmy was sitting happily with Cagalli and Athrun, who weren't so happy, and has already gone through seven orders of pancakes and was working on his eighth. It looks like Goku has a rival.

"I'll tell you one thing," Athrun said, staring at Timmy with fascination. "The kid sure can eat. I've never seen a little kid go through seven plates of pancakes in one day. Now, if we were talking about my Great Aunt Margaret things might be a little different."

"Are you trying to compare him with your Great Aunt Margaret?" Cagalli asked.

"Kinda, but he manages to stay in shape, unlike her," Athrun commented.

"Oh."

"One more plate, old man!" Timmy shouted as he finished his plate.

"Timmy, don't you think you've had enough to eat? I mean, these pancakes are pretty heavy. You might get sick." Cagalli tried to tickle his belly.

The old man Timmy was referring to, the manager, Mr. La Flaga, was just about to walk out the door.

"Hey!" Timmy shouted at him. "Where are you going?"

Mr. La Flaga turned towards where Timmy was sitting and said, "I need to go to the market. We've run out of pancake mix. Just sit tight, little boy. We'll have your pancakes in a jiffy."

Timmy stared at him like he was insane.

"Timmy, I really think we should go now," Cagalli said, wiping maple syrup from Timmy's chin. "You've eaten enough."

So the trio left the table and headed towards the exit but were stopped by the lady at the cash register, Miriallia.

"Wait! Aren't you going to pay?" she asked, tapping her foot.

"Put it on my tab, Mir," Athrun said, giving her the peace sign.

I need a new job, Miriallia thought as she watched the three walk out the door.

Bermuda Trangle

So our duet of Kira and Hikaru became a trio when Lacus asked for directions to Walgreens.

"Y'know what, Kira?" Hikaru asked.

"No. What?" Kira replied through gritted teeth.

"When you said we're screwed, I never thought you meant we were literally screwed."

Lacus noticed three people at the corner in front of them. She recognized one of the figures as Athrun and the other as Cagalli. But she didn't know who the little kid was.

"So there you are!" Hikaru shouted out of nowhere. "Do you know how long we've been trying to get out of this death maze to find you? For a second I thought we were fatally screwed over!" She was shouting at the IHOP, not the three peoplethat just came out of it.

"AUNTIE HIKARU!" Timmy shouted, sprinting towards the raving Japanese adolescent.

"Auntie Hikaru?" Lacus asked.

"Yeah," Kira said. "She's auntie Hikaru, I'm Uncle Kira, Cagalli is Mommy, and I'm only supposing that Athrun is Daddy."

"Why does he think Cagalli is his mother?" Lacus inquired further.

"All we know is that's what he thinks and that his name is Timmy. We ran into him at the airport today when we went to pick up Hikaru."

"Oh. I guess that makes me Auntie Lacus, huh?"

Timmy slammed into Hikaru, knocking her over. He then sat up on Hikaru's stomach and started laughing.

"Kid, you're too heavy to be sitting on me like that," Hikaru grunted, trying to lift the elementary school kid off of her. "What, did you gain ten pounds today?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did," Cagalli said, lifting Timmy off of Hikaru.

Then, a motor was heard. No one saw it, but the sound was getting louder, meaning whatever was making the noise was probably coming nearer. And then, out of nowhere, a go-kart was seen with Yzak Joule driving it terribly. He was being followed by none other than Dearka Elsman, who was also in a go-kart. And they were headed right for our group of six. Before anyone could get out of the way Dearka and Yzak crashed into the others, who were on a bridge over a freezing cold river, and everyone fell in. And too bad for Lacus that there were leeches.

"Well, this is fun," Hikaru snorted bitterly. "This only gives me one more reason to kill you, Dearka."

"Mommy, I'm cold," Timmy whined.

Athrun, who was shivering like crazy, said, "I hear you. Why did we have to fall in at night?"

Kira, who was still a little sore at Hikaru said, "Ha! I told you this wouldn't end well!"

At that exact moment, Lacus let out a high-pitched scream.

"What happened, Lacus?" Kira asked, suddenly concerned and loving.

"L-l-l-leeches," she stammered.

"Really," Dearka mused with cruel ways of teasing filling his head.

Hikaru shook her head in shame and asked, "Can I kill him now?"

"Why the hell were you speeding at us in a go-kart?" Cagalli asked Yzak.

Yzak pried a leech off his arm and answered, "I wasn't going after you guys. I was trying to get away from Dearka."

Dearka bent down to pull a leech off of his ankle (they're still in the water) and zoomed it up to Lacus's face saying, "Oooh, look what I have for you Lacus!", which resulted in another high pitched scream and Lacus falling backward. Luckily, Kira caught her.

Cagalli sighed and said, "You can kill him now, Hikaru."

That is chapter 3! I had fun writing this chapter. Please review!
