Chapter 2- Getting There
Daisuke picked up his backpack, sighing. He had just finished packing and eating breakfast. Now he was ready to head to school. Daisuke mentally checked off what he had packed, making sure he had everything for the day.
Permission slip- check.
Lunch- check.
A change of clothes- check.
Wiz- !
"Wiz, get out of there! You can't come!" Daisuke reached into his pack and pulled out the struggling creature. It looked at him with big eyes, longing to go to the museum with him. Daisuke sighed, giving in. "Fine, you can go…but you have to stay in the bag and be quiet, okay?" Wiz nodded cheerfully, climbing back into the pouch. Daisuke smiled, pulling on his backpack and walking out the door.

The front of the school was crowded with Daisuke's classmates, each carrying a backpack and conversing merrily. All except one- Satoshi. He stood away from the others, as always, observing with a look of casual indifference. Daisuke looked around, trying to find Riku and the rest of his friends in the crowd.
"Hey Daisuke, you finally made it!"
Daisuke turned to the sound of the voice as Takeshi ran up to him, brandishing a clipboard, his camera hanging around his neck. "Did you get your seat assignment yet?" Daisuke shook his head, praying to be sitting by Riku. Takeshi scanned the list.
"Let's see…you're next to…Satoshi." Daisuke hung his head. Just what he needed- the person after Dark to be paired with him for the trip!
"Looks like we'll have fun on this trip, won't we Daisuke?" Takeshi grinned, happy for a chance to photograph Dark in action. Daisuke sweat dropped, turning around. Satoshi stood behind him, clad in khaki pants, a red shirt, and a black jacket, his expression a smirk, hair waving in the wind. (A/N- drool XD) Various scream issued from girls as Satoshi walked past them without a glance, boarding the bus, Daisuke and the rest of his classmates following after.

It was a two hour drive to the museum, and they hadn't even gotten started yet. Complaints were voiced throughout the bus, ranging from "I'm hungry- Can we eat now?" to Takeshi yelling "If we don't hurry, Dark will have stolen the whole museum by the time we get there!" Daisuke sweat dropped at his friend's one-track mind, then glanced at Satoshi. He had chosen the window seat and was already asleep, snoring softly.
(How could anyone sleep with all this racket?) Daisuke thought, returning to the conversation in front of him. Takeshi and Masahiro sat in front of him, talking about Dark and the exhibit. Riku and Risa were sitting across from Daisuke, chatting with the girls in front of them. Riku laughed, then turned to Daisuke, who looked away with a blush. She smiled, then resumed her conversation. Finally, the bus pulled away from the school, and they were on their way.

"…steal it?"
Takeshi stared at Daisuke, who was still blushing, a far off look on his face. He gave Daisuke a smack on the head, waking him from his daydream. "I said, do you think we'll get to see Dark steal the Eternity Tiara? I sure hope I get some great pictures!"
Daisuke nodded. He certainly hoped no one saw him steal it, and that no one noticed he was gone when Dark showed up.
xXx
Two hours later, they arrived at the museum. The bus ride had been pretty uneventful- Satoshi slept, Risa and Takeshi fought about Dark, Dark made fun of Daisuke's predicament. In the middle of the ride, Wiz had popped out of Daisuke's backpack and leapt into Riku's arms, eager for a chance to play and get some air.
They loaded off the bus, the teacher dividing students into groups of four. Takeshi and Masahiro were separated from the others, while Riku, Risa, Daisuke, and Satoshi became a group. The teacher gathered the class, giving them schedules and museum maps.
"First, we will go on a tour of the museum as a class. After that, you may go outside and eat lunch, explore the museum further, or go to the gift shop. Just remember to stay in your groups, and meet back in the lobby at three thirty. Have fun!"
Daisuke sighed- this was going to be harder than he thought.
"Don't sweat it, Daisuke," Dark told him. "You'll be fine."
Daisuke nodded, following the rest of his classmates into the museum.
