"Wahhhhhhhhhhhh! Argh! Acgk! Oh!"
"Mouto-chan. I told you not to fall down the stairs." Ailias chided as she sauntered down the stairs after Lee. Lee turned angrily on her sister.
"Ai-nee-san! That, that! That rock tried to kill me!"
"Right."
The two of them walked around the streets of….dun dun dun! London! The air, the cobblestone streets, the tallest inedible clock in the world! They had come on their tour de la globo! (yahhhhh.) First stop…
"Big Ben!" Ailias smirked, looking at the clock. Lee had run off mere moments earlier in search of…supplies.
"Wahah! I bring!" Lee yelled, laughing maniacally as she ran down the street, holding a huge box.
"Alas! Time for," Ailias tugged Lee over to the ally by the clock. "Big Ben Blow-up!"
"That could be so dirty." Lee twitched. Ai smirked.
"Anyway," she sang, "let's go!"
Five minutes later…
BIG A BOOM!
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Mouto-chan, we gotta go!"
"Can we eat?" Lee blinked as Ailias slid under a police car.
"I want French Fries with Mayo!" Ailias pointed at a McDonald's far, far, far in the distance.
"Escargot-to throw!" Lee squealed, frog-leaping over a poor surprised citizen.
Some time later….cha.
"Why are we here, Mr. Holmes?"
"Elementary, my dear Watson." The famous sleuth turned to the doctor. "The greatest landmark of our mother Britain has been destroyed! Big Ben!"
"Do we have any leads?" Watson asked Sherlock Holmes. (Yes, they are dead, no they are not ghosts, and, duh, I know nothing about them.)
"Yes, two suspects were seem fleeing the scene shortly after the crime. We go north, Dr. Watson."
The two walked along the streets, the city an entirely different place at night. Hearing a scuffle further along the street, they rushed forward. Two men were suddenly thrown out of an alley clear across the street into a brick wall on the other side. Holmes and Watson looked in the alley, surprised to find three women.
"Thank you two so much!" One woman cried to the others. "I was so afraid he'd."
"Eh, it's okay. Want us to walk you home, or are you okay?" The taller woman asked.
"Oh, I couldn't! I'm fine!" She walked out of the alley, past Holmes and Watson, yelling, "Thank you!"
"Well, sis, I guess that we should head out." The taller said to her sister.
"But Ai-nee-san! We still gotta get dinner."
"Excuse us," Holmes said as they walked out of the alley.
"Oh, yes? You need something?" The taller asked.
"Ya betta not be hittin' on mah nee-san, freawk!" The younger twitched, climbing onto the older's shoulder.
"Oh, of course not. I just saw how you saved that young lady." Holmes held up his hands peacefully. "I was wondering if you had been here earlier. When Big Ben was blown up."
"I was nearby. Names are Ailias and Lee. You got any leads, detective?" Holmes raised an eyebrow. "Eh, ya got the get up."
"Only the direction the suspects were heading." Watson said helpfully. Lee smiled.
"Can we walk you there? There's bunch of gang dudes that have been messin' up the streets since we got here." Lee looked up at Ai. "We don't want 'em to get hurt right?" Ai looked at the two.
"I don't know, it looks like they can take care of themselves." Watson smiled.
"I don't see why not. Right, Holmes?" The detective thought for a moment before nodding.
"An escort would be greatly appreciated." Ailias and Lee smiled, turning to walk beside Holmes. "But I would like to ask you a few questions." Ai grinned lopsidedly.
"Only if you don't mind disturbin' answers."
"Of course not. Many answers are disturbing." Holmes lowered his cap and glared at the two girls. "You were in that alley with those two men and that woman."
"Yes."
"And you were able to heave them bodily from the alley." She gave a feral grin.
"Yes."
"And I want to know, what are you." Holmes turned bodily towards Ailias and Lee. They both grinned at him, bangs hiding their eyes. Suddenly, they both raised their heads, sunny grins on their faces.
"We," Lee said, "are demons. Mind you, good demons. Just a couple of vacationing buds."
"Well, then let's continue." Holmes mumbled.
Many, many hours later of futile searched for the … hack cough grin cough evil-doers…
"We got anything, Holmes' boy?" Ailias asked, leaning over onto Watson's shoulder.
"Yes. I have eliminated the possible and only the impossible remains. (And I have butchered one of the most famous Holmes quotes in history.) You did it!" He pointed at Ailias and Lee. Lee laughed.
"Took you long enough!" Ai held her hands behind her head and swung her hips to one side, winking.
"Ya gonna arrest me?" She laughed, dropping her arms and pointing her hand like a gun at Holmes, her face suddenly serious. "Too bad. Bang." Lee and Ailias leapt onto a roof and ran away, Holmes and Watson chasing them on the street.
Then…the world was in shades of blue and pink. Ailias and Lee were pink, Holmes and Watson in blue. Ailias looked back before cursing. The dramatic background music suddenly changed from action rock to…The Pink Panther Theme. Lee yells at the screen, "One time thing! ONE TIME!"
Ai smirked, her tail brushing against the walls and Lee, painting it all pink.
"I'm painting the wall…PINK!"
"You won't catch me! I'm the gingerbread in the buff!" Lee yelled.
"Whooooo! Oh, look at the time! Bye bai, boys!" Ailias swerved off course, turning towards the docks. Leaping onto a boat, they waved cheerfully at the two.
"Au revoir!"
