Dream: Yeah, but I'm not going to post it until this fic is done. That way I won't neglect this one.
Zero: Oh well, I'm sure nobody cares about any of this. They just want their fanfic.
Dream: Yes, and I want to write it, so do the disclaimer!

Dream: And...Action!
Last time
The three of them left. Some time later, a happy child skipped into the café and was scarred for life by seeing all the bodies. The police were quickly notified and everyone was brought to the hospital where they were treated and fixed up as best as possible, though all the doctors agreed that it was a shame that the boy in blue with orange hair's face had been so badly damaged that it was beyond repair. Little did they know that that was the way he had always looked. Outside the café, a cat was scavenging around the dumpster when all of a sudden the lid lifted and two angry golden eyes glowed from the darkness.
But what of Autumn, you ask? Well, to find out her fate we must travel west across an ocean... (The Atlantic Ocean, Ari)
Somewhere in Iceland
Two Puffins were conversing about fish and techniques to catch fish. Suddenly a box fell from the sky and landed near them. They stared at the box. It had a label that sand 'Handle with caution, live and dangerous animal inside'. It also had many stamps on it. As the puffins watched, the box started to move. It then opened and Autumn sat up. She looked around.
"Where am I...?"
Now:
Hospital Food Makes Your Organs Implode:
A few hours later, Hinote, Kurama, and Hiei were sitting outside the hospital eating ice cream and watching as people rushed in and out of the jaws of clean, sparkly hospital doom. Every once in a while an ambulance would drive up bringing patients in critical condition into the emergency room. During these occasions, Hinote and Hiei stared intently at the people running with a stretcher to see if they could figure out what had happened to the person shaped mound on the bed.
"Hey! That person looks like they were badly mauled by Ninja Raccoons!" Hinote pointed at the latest emergency patient being run inside.
"How can you tell?" Hiei questioned.
Hinote rubbed the back of his head, "Autumn unleashed a bunch of raccoons on me a while back because she wanted to see if they had properly learned all she had to teach them about martial arts and ninja skills. It hurt..."
Kurama shook his head and chuckled quietly. Sometimes he wished that Autumn would act more mature, but he had to admit that her immaturity made her absolutely adorable. That brought up a question he had been meaning to ask, "Where's Autumn?"
"Eh...? Well...I'm not sure exactly..." Hinote laughed nervously.
Kurama's eye twitched, "You're...not...sure...?"
"Well, no...You see, I can't exactly remember what V-eh...I did with her..." Hinote continued to laugh nervously.
Kurama growled lowly and his eyes flashed golden, showing that Youko, too, was angry at the thought of Autumn being hurt. After all, if Autumn was hurt, Harmony would be too. He spoke through clenched teeth, "She better not be hurt..."
Hinote smiled nervously, "Don't worry...I'm sure she's fine..."
"Shouldn't we go inside and check to see which of the bakas are out of our lives for good?" Hiei worded his question in a way that cleverly disguised the fact that he was worried about his friends. Or maybe his question wasn't disguised at all and he really didn't care about their safety. Or maybe he worded his question in a way that made it seem that he was cleverly disguising the fact that he was worried about his friends, even though he really wasn't, in order to avoid a friendship speech from Kurama. Choose whichever seems most likely.
"Aw, Hiei cares about them!" Hinote grinned.
Hiei growled, "I know what happened to the next person being brought to the Emergency Room..."
"What?" Hinote asked, looking around for an ambulance.
Hiei pushed Hinote into the street. Screeching sounds and the sounds of people screaming curses were heard, along with the sound of car horns. There was soon a large pile-up of cars. The fire demon smirked, "Car accident."
"HIEI!!!" Kurama screamed in horror at the fire demon's action, "It isn't nice to throw your friends into oncoming traffic!!!"
Kurama stopped and looked around, noticing that there was an absence of angry, murderous aura. He looked next to him and noticed that Hiei was no longer standing there. In his place was a plain white note. Kurama picked up the note and read it.
"'Fox: No Speech. Hiei'" Kurama sweat dropped. He sighed and rushed into the crowd of humans forming at the scene of the accident in the hopes of seeing gore. Humans are like that, ya know. They like seeing people suffer. Or at least, a lot of them do. There are some nice humans, but those usually wind up going insane from all the pain and stuff. Yeah, none of this has to do with the story. I just wanted this paragraph to look longer.
Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Puffonia:
"Let me get this straight... I landed in the exact same spot at the exact time that some crazy puffin prophet predicted that the puffins would be sent a queen by the fish god Anut?" Autumn asked the man sitting next to her.
The man was dressed in dirty brown trousers that were torn at the bottom and a dirty brown vest. His feet were bare. He had tanned skin and forest green hair. His eyes were indigo in color. He had little scratches and dirt all over him. He looked like someone that had been shipwrecked on a deserted island.
The man nodded and spoke with a Spanish accent, "Sí, sí. The puffins believe you to be their god sent queen."
"So I get to rule the entire kingdom of Puffonia?"
"And all of its colonies."
"Colonies?"
"All the puffins of the world are subjects of Puffonia."
"So I'll be Queen of all Puffins?"
"Sí."
"W00T!" Autumn did a little dance where she was sitting. She stopped and looked around the room they were in, "So why am I in the dungeon?"
"The Queen's room has no furnishings yet and this is the only other human sized room."
"Oh... Why are you here?" Autumn pointed at him, "And who are you?"
The man bowed, "I am Pepe. I was fleeing from prosecution in my homeland of Spain using a raft made of waffles when a giant squid ate my raft and stranded me here."
"A raft made of waffles?!" Autumn's jaw dropped.
Pepe shrugged, "It was why I was in trouble. I stole waffles from the President of the United States."
"I love you."
The door of the small dungeon cell opened, revealing two puffins. One was the guard. She was wearing armor and holding a set of keys. The other puffin was the royal dresser. He was wearing an ocean blue toga-like dress rimmed with gold. He was holding a red toga dress that was also rimmed with gold. There were two golden sandals resting on the dress and a set of six ocean blue ribbons. There was also a golden belt with a golden leaf buckle.
The royal dresser walked over to Autumn and placed the clothes down. He squawked some words, bowed and left. The guard led Pepe out of the room and closed the door, so that Autumn would be able to change in privacy. Autumn shrugged and started to change into the dress.
The Hospital, Room number 666:
Yusuke was sharing his hospital bed with a fully bandaged Kuwabara. Across the room from them was a bed containing Loki and next to his bed was a bed with Pip in it. Next to Yusuke and Kuwabara's bed was a bed containing Random Neighbor Man.
Loki was bandaged and in a full body cast. He had a sort of dazed expression on his face. At first glance it would appear that Loki was watching TV, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that his eyes were blank and unblinking. Perhaps the muscles he needed to blink were torn and broken along with all the bones in his body?
Pip was unconscious. The doctors said she was suffering from a turtle induced concussion which seemed to be a regular occurrence nowadays, what with the turtles being genetically altered to think that they're birds by the animal testing lab that was located dangerously close to an Elementary School but apparently had nothing to do with the recent disappearance of a beloved class mascot.
Yusuke had a cast on his arm and his leg, but for the most part he hadn't been badly injured. He had developed a resistance to things falling on him. He did hang around with Autumn and Flash, after all. Heavy things spontaneously falling on him were a regular occurrence in his life.
Kuwabara had managed not to be badly injured by the repeated stabbings in his back with various objects. Apparently he only had some cuts in his back but that was it. He had bandages covering his head and chest because a bunch of nurses had quit after going in the room and it was just better for everyone's eyes that way.
Last but not least was Random Neighbor Man. Kurama had been right, the knife had missed all of Random Neighbor Man's vital organs and he hadn't lost much blood. He was still being monitored closely, because the doctor had a bit of trouble removing the knife and if he showed any signs of having been injured by the doctor's incompetence he would be killed and his records removed from existence so that there would be no lawsuit.
Since there was nothing better to do, Yusuke was watching the TV that was hanging in the corner of the room by the door. Kuwabara was attempting to watch TV, but the bandages were covering his eyes. He didn't seem to notice, though. Random Neighbor Man had been reading a book, but had fallen asleep. Loki started drooling slightly, since the muscles to close his mouth were also torn.
The door opened to reveal Kurama. He had a friendly smile on his face and had both arms behind his back. He walked into the room. All attention, even Loki's, was drawn to Kurama as a dragging sound was heard behind him. It soon became apparent that in Kurama's hands was one end of a leash. The other end was attached to a collar that had a tag saying 'Property of Flash' on it and was around the neck of a very angry fire demon.
Hiei was sitting cross legged on the ground and had his arms crossed. Kurama had forced him to carry a bunch of flowers and stuffed animals for their injured friends. Hiei was glaring over the presents at all the nurses and people that were staring at him. He had been quite annoyed when someone at the front desk had commented to Kurama, 'I'm sorry, sir, we don't allow pets in here.' Needless to say, that person wouldn't be doing much speaking anymore. It would be kind of hard to speak with a Sally-wets-a-lot doll stuck in their mouth...
Yusuke grinned, "Aww, Hiei, you brought us presents! I didn't know you cared!"
"Don't flatter yourself, detective. The kitsune forced me to carry these. I don't even want to be here but if I leave I'll get a speech about proper treatment of friends." Hiei growled.
Kurama nodded while smiling. Yusuke whistled dramatically. He then looked around, "Hey, where's Hinote? And Flash?"
"We don't know where Flash is, but Hiei threw Hinote into traffic so now he's in the emergency room." Kurama responded.
"He tried to murder my lo...err...Flash, so he had to pay dearly." Hiei justified.
Yusuke smirked, "Your what, Hiei? Lo...love?"
"Detective..." Hiei growled menacingly.
"Now calm down, Hiei, it certainly wouldn't be nice of you to hurt an injured person..." Kurama scolded.
Hiei glared, "That's never stopped me before."
"Do you want a speech?" Kurama glared back.
Hiei whimpered and looked down at the ground. Kurama nodded, "Thought so."
The door then opened and a bed was wheeled in by a man in a light blue male nurses' uniform. He wheeled the bed over next to the window across from the door. As the bed passed by, everyone could tell that it was Hinote. He had bandages covering his entire body except his face. There were casts on both arms and his left leg. Hinote shot Hiei a death glare as the nurse left the room.
"Oh, you're alive. What a shame." Hiei remarked coldly.
Kurama glared at Hiei before smiling at Hinote, "It's good to see that you're alright."
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. At least until the pain medication wears off. Then I'll probably be in horrible pain." Hinote responded casually.
"Sounds pleasant," Yusuke said sarcastically.
The door was opened and in came a pretty black haired nurse. She was about Hiei's height and had tinted glasses covering her eyes. She had on a white nurse's dress with white shoes and a white hat. All of the guys thought that she looked suspiciously familiar. She was pushing a cart of food and smiling brightly.
"Food for the injured people!" She said in a forced high pitched voice.
Yusuke began to drool, "I love being injured..."
The nurse visibly twitched. In reality it was Flash and she was itching to beat Yusuke over the head with the tray but for the sake of revenge she kept her temper in check. She walked over to each bed and gave out a tray of food. There was some strange meat-like dish, a small cup of red jell-o stuff, and a small container of juice.
Yusuke grinned, "Yes! Jell-o!"
"Um...actually...that's supposed to be mashed potatoes..." Flash laughed nervously.
Yusuke's eyes widened and he spit out the spoonful he had put in his mouth. Hinote managed to pick up his cup of mashed potatoes and chuck it at Hiei. Hiei growled and threw Kuwabara's potatoes at Hinote. Kurama interrupted before they could continue.
"Please, let's try and behave like adults." Kurama pleaded.
Yusuke was drinking the juice. Hinote looked over, "In the immortal words of Foamy the Squirrel (Don't own), 'I guess this is some kind of juice...waaait, could be a urine sample. I wouldn't drink that if I were you.'"
Yusuke was silent as he slowly put down the carton of juice. Flash walked over to Kurama with a cup of tea, "Here. You look like you need something to calm your nerves."
"Why thank you, miss. You're so kind." Kurama smiled and took the tea. He drank it happily.
Flash grinned inwardly. She then waved, "Well, I hope all of you feel better. I have to go take care of other useless sick people now. Buh-bye."
"Bye." Kurama waved as Flash left the room, "Such a nice nurse."
Hiei narrowed his eyes, "She looked familiar."
"Maybe she goes to Hinote, Flash, and Autumn's school?" Kuwabara suggested.
"That seems highly like-" Kurama collapsed onto the ground before he could finish.
Hiei poked at Kurama with his foot, "Looks like that tea was poison. It's too bad, I actually liked him."
Outside the room, Flash grinned and ran down the hall to the bathroom where she had stashed her clothes. She changed out of her nurse's outfit and into black pants with glow-in-the-dark trim and a black short sleeved shirt.
"It's about time! If I had had to spend another minute in that damn nurse's dress I would've gone insane!" Flash started laughing insanely as she exited the bathroom. The people in the hall turned to stare at her as she continued talking to herself out loud, "My revenge upon pansy boy is complete. Now for my revenge on the small one..."
Meanwhile in Iceland:
Autumn stepped out of the dungeon to be met with a few armor clad puffins, the royal dresser, and Pepe. Pepe gaped at the future ruler of the puffins. She was dressed in the red toga-like dress which went to about her knees. The belt was fastened around her waist to keep the dress together. The golden sandals had straps which were up to just below the knee. There was one ocean blue ribbon on each of her wrists. One ribbon was tied around her neck with a bow and one was tied with a bow around the bottom of her hair, making a loose pony-tail. The other two were tied around her hair in the front, one on each side of her face.
The puffins let out a loud cheer as they crowded around their new ruler. Autumn laughed nervously and looked at Pepe, "Do you know what they're saying?"
"Sí, after spending so much time with them I've learned their language well. I'll teach you, if you'd like." Pepe answered.
Autumn smiled and nodded, "That would be so wonderful! I can't very well be the puffin queen without knowing the puffin language!"
"Well, it's all quite simple once you really start to pay attention to what the puffins sound like..." Pepe began.
And so, in a matter of four hours, Autumn learned the language of the people...err...creatures she would soon be ruler over. Once that was done, there was a great ceremony in which Autumn was crowned the queen. Back in New York, Flash had put the finishing touches on her revenge plans. Kurama, after a doctor walked in and found him collapsed on the ground while Hiei, Yusuke, and Hinote watched the Petshop of Horrors DVD that Hinote borrowed from Flash who borrowed it from Autumn who borrowed it from her friend Serenity. After being thoroughly disgusted by someone being eaten alive by killer rabbits, the doctor had tended to Kurama, given him an antidote, and put him in the chair in Loki's bed to save space. The beauty of it all was that neither Kurama nor Loki could protest.
Flash was in the hospital gift shop looking around. She was trying to find the perfect minion of death and destruction. She passed by a display full of teddy bears. She stopped suddenly and walked backwards a few steps. There in the center of the display was the perfect revenge...A bright pink teddy bear holding a heart that said 'I love you'. Flash laughed evilly. She then stopped, looked around with shifty eyes, grabbed the bear and left.
She casually walked up to the floor with her friends' room on it. She sat down in the waiting room and set to work. She wrote on the little tag attached to the bear's ear 'Dear Hiei, I luv u more then u will no. Luv, Kuwabara'. She gagged as she reread the tag. It was perfect. She looked around suspiciously before running to the room. She opened the door quietly and crept inside. She crawled past the beds to the chair Hiei was sitting in.
Hinote's pain medication was wearing off and he felt like he was going to pass out from pain. He decided to get rid of the pain in the most logical and fastest way possible. He let Vladimir have control. The vampire was immediately subject to the pain of Hinote's body. He would have started cursing his human half out loud, but he noticed Flash crawling on the floor behind Hiei.
Two things went through the vampire's mind: 'Flash is still alive' and 'I must change that'. He arched an eyebrow when he saw a ball of pink in Flash's hands. He watched Flash stand up quietly and drop the pink thing in Hiei's lap. She then dove under Pip's bed. Hiei blinked and looked at the pinkness. Vlad's eyes widened and he hissed as he connected the evil of the pink bear in Hiei's lap with the evil of the pink bear that Autumn had given him as a joke.
Hiei read the tag. He dropped the bear with his eyes wide in horror. Then Hiei did a very un-Hiei-like thing. He screamed. Yusuke covered his ears. Loki let out a squeak of pain. Kuwabara whimpered. Vlad hissed and tried to cover his ears. Flash had come prepared with ear plugs. Pip and Kurama...stayed unconscious. Makes you wonder what kind of drugs the hospital put in their systems. Maybe prune juice.
After a minute or so of screaming, Hiei passed out from lack of air. Flash came out from under the bed, "Well that was fun."
"Did you have to do that?" Vlad hissed.
Flash smirked, "Yes I did, dog boy!"
"Dog boy?!" Vlad growled.
Flash shrugged, "Well, Autumn always says that you need obedience training, so I've decided to call you dog boy. It fits you very well, if I do say so myself."
Vlad's eye was twitching violently. If Hinote wasn't injured, he would've attacked Flash. He settled for yelling, "I am not a dog, you stupid cat!"
"Watch it, dog boy! If you keep yelling like that the nurses will come in and give you a sedative." Flash hissed.
Vlad narrowed his eyes, "I hate you."
"Hinote, are you ok? You're acting strange." Yusuke pointed out.
Vlad glared at him. Flash turned around and walked to the door. She looked back over her shoulder, "I'm going to go raid all of your houses to see if I can find anything valuable. Have fun being stuck in this room!"
Just then the door slammed open, smashing Flash against the wall and trapping her there. Autumn - dressed in a colorful Hawaiian shirt with Khaki shorts, colorful lei, plain brown sandals, and a straw hat – was there at the door. At her side was a black bag. She was grinning madly.
"Hello friends! Autumn hath return-ed from her quest of epic proportions!" Autumn announced cheerily with her arms above her head.
Vlad picked up the tray that his food had been delivered on. It was awkward and difficult, but he managed to knock himself unconscious with it. Kuwabara had long since fallen asleep. Yusuke had been knocked unconscious by a vase that had fallen on his head after Autumn slammed the door open. The door swung back closed and Flash's unconscious body fell to the floor with a thud.
Autumn looked around at all the injured and unconscious people. She pouted, "Aw, did you guys have a party while I was gone?"
Dream: Oh frogs, it took me almost a month to update! x.x;; I'm so sorry everyone! I've been going places a lot recently and once I did finish the chapter, the rabbit of doom ate my monitor. Blame him, not me. Well, since it's starting to get colder out, I'll probably be going out less, which means faster updates!
Zero: yay?
Dream: Well, I'll try and update more quickly. Remember to check my profile for any important news and stuff. Oh and Winter and I are working together to write a Halloween special. We'll be posting it on the pen name 'Dream and Winter' so keep an eye out!
Zero: Review or else.
