I've been so brain-dead on this lately…I really am running out of ideas…If any of you have ideas your willing to share for this, feel free to email me or message me or contact me somehow… I also didn't have too much…motivation for this chapter—been feeling kinda left out of the race if you know what I mean…I've been really down-in-the-dumps lately since this one bitch (from my school—I don't even know his f—king name! He won't stop IMing me!) won't get off my back… So… Yeah…add to the fact that my teacher suddenly decided to give us a 60 page (No joke…I counted…it's 60 pages!) poetry assignment due Friday…And she WONDERS why everyone in the school hates her. SHE WONDERS, DAMMIT. –sighs, stabbing pencil down- Enough of my ranting.

Astera Snape: Thanks! I bet Voltaire and Boris won't be all to happen with their office either. And yes, Max is going to get that line in here a few more times probably X3 so…yay? And thank you! I had fun doodling the hyper Kai! I've been meaning to draw a group picture of everyone, but I keep changing the story so it's hard to keep it up-to-date XD

Oh, and does anyone know how "Mystel" is pronounced? I haven't seen GRev (damned Jetix or whatever the hell it is…) and I've heard two ways: "Miss-stell" and "Mis-tull"… I'm just curious, but it's been bugging me… If you know, would you tell me please? –bows- I'd appreciate it.

Chapter 19:The Waterworks Work!

"Hmph! I hate them so much right now!"

"Ditto! I can barely move!"

"I got cobwebs in my tail!"

"Least you don't have a wing span!"

" –mumble- Or a bossy attitude…"

"WHAT'D YOU SAY?"

"Oww! Sensitive hearing, here! –growl- Unlike YOU, I have EARS!"

"I DO HAVE EARS! They're just…really small holes on the side of my head!"

"Damned bird…"

"Damned fox…"

If you couldn't tell by now, Mathilda and Hilary were arguing in the ventilation shaft. What a wonderful place to argue seeing as it echoes every time you yell and it can probably be heard throughout the entire building since all the shafts are connected…

But other than that, it's a GREAT place to argue!

Not.

Man, when will they learn? It's like placing a big neon sign on your evil lair that reads "EVIL LAIR"… How stupid can you get!

———XX

"Boris…"

"Yes, Sir Voltaire?" Boris questioned, looking at the man, as Voltaire Hiwatari looked out the window of their lair. Sadly, the boa constrictor had NOT eaten Boris…ugh…14 or so chapters ago and he had been returned to normal, badly enough. The boa made a new contract for me that stated he doesn't eat things that will give him evil heartburn… damn that boa.

"…Do you think we should've put that big neon sign on the entrance of our secret evil lair that reads in big neon letters "EVIL LAIR"?" Voltaire asked, cupping his chin in his hand.

Boris didn't have the heart to tell him it was the stupidest idea in the world, "Uh… of course sir…"

"…You have the most idiotic ideas…" Voltaire sneered, glaring at the purple-haired director. It was, after all, HIS idea, although the…er…-cough- "evil genius" or rather evil "genius", wouldn't admit that it was. He was in denial so far…

"Uh…sorry sir…?" Boris said carefully as he looked at the security camera. "Funny… Sir, is this one out of order?" Boris tapped the screen of the camera that appeared gray-ish and had random items floating around in it with light reflecting every which way. It almost looked liked the room was flooded…but HOW could THAT be, huh?

"Shouldn't you know?" Voltaire muttered angrily as he looked at it, "What the h—… " He stopped dead. "…Wait…."

"What is it sir?"

"…When the HELL did we get a security camera…?"

This question made both of the –coughveryelderlycough- men stopped and thought the same thing as everyone else probably is right now:

…When DID they get a security camera?

———XX

"This way?"

"No, it's this way…"

"You're sure?"

"Yes—pretty sure…"

"I think it's this way!"

"Well I say it's THAT way!"

" Well I SAY IT'S THIS WAY"!

"Who gives a damn what you say!"

"ME!"

"IDIOTIC FAT MORON!"

"STUCK UP JERK!"

Bryan glared at Tyson and Jet, who were now in a heated argument about who was right about which path to take. Jet, of course, was right since he knew his way around the place and Tyson…well…Tyson didn't.

"You guys…stop arguing…you're givin' me a headache…" Garland complained, sighing.

"…Are you normal? Like not chibi-fied anymore?" Julia asked, looking at him and apparently noting he was taller than her again.

"Apparently," Garland replied gruffly while rubbing his temple, cursing while closing his eyes with annoyance.

"Ah!" Gemini clapped his hands together, "So you…are normal…and feel perfectly fine? No tail? Nothing?" He asked excitedly while walking faster to keep up with Garland's pace. He looked up at him, grinning and hoping for the answer he wanted.

Garland looked at him with one eye, checking behind himself for anything out of the ordinary (or at least as "ordinary" as they normally were), "Uh…yeah…I guess so."

"YES!" Gemini threw his fist up before racing ahead of both Jet and Tyson yelling something along the lines of, "IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED!"

"…Did he get into Daichi's sugar stash?" Judy asked carefully as Gemini ran far ahead, bouncing and yelling "GUESS WHAT WORKED!" in a singsong voice over and over again.

"But Monkey-Boy isn't even here," Kai protested, crossing his arms.

"No wonder it's been so quiet— Tyson and Daichi haven't been arguing," Ming Ming mused as he put his arms behind his head. "Kinda too quiet without the twerp."

"…I wonder where he is, anyway," Ian mused. "I'm curious what he's up to, now, as well…"

———XX

Daichi looked around, "…Should I even ask why I have red fur, a wet nose, round ears, a tail, and menacing claws that could tear someone's eyes out (A/N: Thanks for the mental image, Daichi…- end sarcasm-)?" Daichi looked at himself—which was currently a small red bear. "…I better not."

———XX

"Dunno, but it can't be anything bad, right?" Spencer mused as everyone shrugged.

———XX

"I hate ventilation shafts…" Mathilda grumbled. "OW!" She whined as she banged her head on the "ceiling" of the vent.

"Don't we all…?" Hilary said sadly as she tried to keep up with Mathilda. "Shouldn't they have sent Kev—"

Mathilda suddenly bumped into someone, sending both of them backwards onto their backs, while whoever she bumped rubbed his own head, "whoops, sorry, Mati!"

Mathilda growled while rubbing her head with her paw, glaring at who she bumped into, "Watch where your going, you bas—!"

"KEVIN?" Hilary exclaimed, cutting Mathilda's curse off, as the green cat sweatdropped,

"They sent me after you," He replied, shrugging (or at least as best as he could) and smiling. "They said I should be useful and help. And besides, I never turn down an opportunity to get more lines!"

"Ah, true, true," Mathilda mused, sweatdropping. "…I just noticed—has Rick said ANYTHING?"

"Enrique and Johnny have been quiet as well," Hilary added as the two oddly coloured animals started walking, Hilary struggling to follow them since she couldn't run as easily as she could fly.

"You know…I wonder what the chibi's are—…huh?" Mathilda lifted her right, "What? It's wet?"

Kevin lifted his paw, shaking it off, set that one down and did the same with all of his other paws, and continued doing it continuously, not stopping, spraying water onto Hilary, "I hate water even more now…"

"H-Hey!" Hilary spluttered out as she spit out some of the water Kevin splashed onto her.

"Whoops, sorry," Kevin apologized as the three animals continued to move, Kevin complaining about the water and how he was a cat and cats hate water and how he wanted to go back and—

"Why is there so much water…?" Mathilda asked curiously, cutting off the long rant of Kevin's, as they followed what seemed to be where the source was coming from. "Man, it's like a…a…"

"A lake?" Kevin supplied, stopping his whining. Mathilda shook her head—apparently she wanted a more scientific answer than what she was receiving. Her pink fox ears twitched as she looked around, trying to spot anything that might tell them why the ventilation shaft was slowly becoming an indoor pool.

"…I wish I knew how to drive…" Kevin mused suddenly and…awfully randomly as well.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything!" Hilary snapped as Kevin shrugged,

"I don't know, but I wish I knew how."

"You're under-aged. You're what…14?"

"And your point iiiissssss…what?"

"And you're a cat! A GREEN cat might I add."

"You know…you ARE aware I could eat you now…right?"

"Err…but I don't taste good?"

"Well how about I find out NOW?"

Mathilda sighed and sweatdropped as Kevin tackled Hilary and the two tumbled around, cursing and yelling and cursing in every language they could. Mathilda just walked ahead of them, leaving them behind, as she turned to go left in the fork in the road—er vent… but as she did, she spotted two small rabbits at another fork in the road—err…vent. One was a violet purple with blue eyes and the other was blue with violet eyes. The violet one was on the right and the blue one was on the left, the violet one smiling cheerfully and the blue one frowning glumly.

"Uhm, excuse me," Mathilda looked at them, "Which way is the boiler room?"

The rabbits pointed in the direction…unfortunately they each pointed in a different direction. One pointed right while the other pointed left.

"Errr…" Mathilda blinked, "What's going on here?"

The violet rabbit grinned, "We each point directions. We each tell what way to go. Only one of us gives the right answer, while the other one always lies!"

"Errrrrrr…." Mathilda now looked even more confused—maybe the rabbits should've tried rhyming that little introduction of theirs—which kinda made her wonder if Jubilee or Gemini (while he was against them) turned them into rabbits (when they used to be human)…because C'MON! They're BLUE AND PURPLE for the love of Zeus! WHERE DO YOU FIND BLUE AND PURPLE RABBITS? Erm, anyway, as Mathilda look confused, the rabbits dropped their paws back down by their sides.

Almost as if to reassure the gesture they did, Mathilda took a deep breathe and asked again. "…Which way is the boiler room?" Mathilda questioned, cocking her head. And again, they each pointed a different way, the same way they had previously pointed. Mathilda thought about this and restated her answer, "Which was ISN'T the boiler room?" Again, they pointed in different directions—only this time they pointed the opposite way they were before. Mathilda scowled, thinking over another question before something popped into her head, making her grin evilly, "Hrm… Which way is the candy shop?"

The two of them just blinked in confusion, not pointing either way. Mathilda sighed, this way getting her nowhere fast.

"Man…I wish it was as simple as saying "Point to yourself"!" Mathilda whined loudly, screwing her eyes shut, stomping her paw down onto the ground, making water splash into her face. When she looked up to snap an angry question at them, the one bunny was pointing at himself, smiling, while the other was pointing at the opposing bunny, frowning. Mathilda blinked when something suddenly clicked. You could almost hear the gears ticking inside Mathilda's head as she thought…

'I get it, now…When I told them to point to yourself…the one who lies can't point to himself because that would be the truth and he can only tell lies…unless he's lying… and when he says he can only tell lies that means he's lying when he says he's lying but if he's lying then when the truth teller can only tell the truth does that mean he's lying… but then if he was lying wouldn't that mean that the liar is the truth teller as well and if that is so then why is he pointing the opposite way? UGH I'M CONFUSED. Er…setting that logic aside, I suppose…So now if I ask them which way is the boiler room, I can trust the one who points the correct way! Yes! …Unless he really is the liar and— UGH. DAMN. THAT. DAMN. LOGIC.'

"Which way is the boiler room?" Mathilda asked for the third time. Again, they pointed in different directions, but this time the "truth teller" as Mathilda denounced him, pointed at the "liar's" path while the "liar" pointed at the "truth teller's."

"WHOOP!" Mathilda cheered as she jumped up and down before racing down the right path (literally…the left path was a dead end), "THANKS!" She yelled back as the two bunnies yelled "Nice meeting you too!" back at her…which made Mathilda kinda mad since one of them was lying (or WAS he?)…. Until one of them shouted, "I MEAN IT WASN'T NICE MEETING YOU!" and she assumed it was the liar since it sounded a little more high-pitched than the truth teller's voice.

"How nice," Mathilda mused as she ran down the vent, the water rising up to her … er… do foxes have knees? "… Aren't I missing something, or is it just me?" Mathilda mused as she continued to wade through the vent's water way. She looked around for a while and didn't spot anyone arguing beside her. "…Nah, it's just me!"

———XX

"R-Ray-Ray!" Max whined, coughing up water, "Ta watah's awmost to ta ceiwing! I BWAME YOU RAY!"

Ray looked at the blonde, shaking, "I-I know!" The 5 chibi's were now shaking out of their wits. The water was slowly rising to the top of the room and was only a foot or two away from completely submerging the room in nothing but water with 5 drowned chibi's…

"B-Bwookie…" Hiro whimpered, already in tears unlike Max who was refusing to cry. Brooklyn bit his lip as the 5 chibi's climbed onto a platform that was floating upwards. Hiro clung to Mystel seeing he was the closest to the youngest at this point. Mystel quickly hugged him back, shaking like a leaf.

"W-what are we gonna d-do?" Max asked worriedly, "I-I dun WANNA DIIEE!"

"We won't!" Brooklyn protested, "I-I know we won't!"

The 4 panicked chibi's looked at him with a look that simply said: "You're crazy." Brooklyn's smile faltered and he looked down sadly,

"Okay, fine, we'll all gonna die." Brooklyn said sullenly, sighing, "Better?" Brooklyn asked glumly as Mystel glared at him harshly as this made Hiro become even more frantic from the statement and start crying even more and shouting things in Russian, which he most likely learned from Kai when he was a chibi.

"Bwookie!" Mystel scolded as his felt his shirt get wetter from both the water rising and from Hiro bawling into his shirt. "Not hewping!" Mystel snapped indignantly over Hiro's cries, glaring as best as he could.

"Sowwy!" Brooklyn apologized, his bottom lip trembling as the water slowly went up. "Ack!"

"I wish I could see my mommy one wast time…" Max cried loudly as he started bawling as well, sending Mystel and Ray into crying hysterics as well. Brooklyn just whimpered, not panicking, but just simply sitting there crying as Max hugged Ray and cried, Ray doing the same to the blonde.

"I w-wanna s-s-see Lee and Mawiah and Kevin and Garwy and Lee's granddaddy that kinda scares me cause he's weird…" Ray complained, tears spilling from his golden eyes.

"I miss D-Daddy a-a-and T-T-Ty-Ty!" Hiro managed to whimper (In English) between tears and sobs. Mystel looked up at the ceiling, which was now only inches from his head. He took a deep breathe, closed his eyes, and…

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

Screamed. LOUDLY. AS LOUD AS HE COULD (which was pretty loud, by the way, if you couldn't tell.)

The other chibi's looked at him, sniffing and… thinking…that that was actually a good idea. They looked at each other before taking a deep breath and yelling with the young Egyptian,

"HHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

———XX

Robert sighed, "Jet, are you sure you know where you're going? I'm having my doubts…"

"WE AREN'T LOST!" Jet yelled back at them as he slammed his fist on the dead end's wall in front of him. "…I just don't know where we are!"

Everyone: JET! –anime fall—

"I can't believe you got us lost!" Gemini fumed as he yelled at the black-haired boy, who simply sweatdropped and didn't move from his position of facing the wall with his fist against it, the cat-eared boy bent over from his position, grumbling.

Jet just sighed as Johnny and Enrique giggled, "What is it?" He asked glumly as he turned around, frowning.

"Don't cha hear it?" Johnny asked, grinning and giggling again. Enrique nodded,

"What are ya? Deaf?" Enrique giggled as well, smiling. The others looked at each other curiously—what could the two mini Majestics be talking about?

"Uh…What?" Rick asked, blinking with confusion.

"Listen!" Johnny ordered as the hall fell silent, the teens and adults listening…

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

"Was…" Garland closed his eyes, placing the voice quickly, "Mystel? That's Mystel!"

"HHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

"That was the chibi's!" Tyson gasped. Mariah bit her lip,

"I hope they're okay…" Mariah said worriedly. Lee sighed,

"Don't worry, Mari," Lee said soothingly as she ran her hand through her (or rather Emily's) bangs.

"I know…but…"

Whatever Mariah was going to say was never heard because Jet cut them off,

"Hit the deck!" He snapped as he pulled them all into the darkened wall. Voltaire and Boris stopped in front of teh dead end,

"What do you MEAN THE BOILER ROOM IS FLOODED!" Voltaire yelled at the director, who flinched,

"I-I mean that the pipe broke and the room is flooded!" Boris replied quickly, taking a step back.

"WELL ARE YOU GOING TO FIX IT?" Voltaire bellowed and slammed his fist down hard on the wall, making the director flinch again,

"Uh, well, yes, of course sir, let's…j-just go to your other office and… "

Jet had to slap his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing at the mental image of what they would look like when they saw the office after the chibi's "redecorated."

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"

"…What was that?" Voltaire turned to Boris, who simply shrugged.

"Who the hell is yelling!" Boris growled, looking around.

"It's coming from the boiler room," Voltaire snarled, "BORIS! SEE WHO IT IS! NOW!"

Boris hastily and wordlessly ran to the boiler room while Voltaire stormed off to his office.

After Jet was sure the two men had run off, he came out of the shadows, "Hm…This is slightly random, but what do you think would happen if we gave the chibi's water balloons?"

"Dear GOD shut your trap! Don't give them random ideas!" Gemini snapped, hitting his friend behind the head and failing to notice Tala's chibi evil smirk that no one caught, "Let's g—? Huh?"

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Lots of running ensued after this along with shouts in Russian, Japanese, English, Egyptian, Spanish, Chinese, French, Italian, and somehow Korean.

… Oh, right, what happened. Okay, okay, cue flashback…

FLASHBACK (unfortunately)

Boris headed to the boiler room where cries of

"I BWAME YOU RAY!" (Max, of course)

And

"NEVER TOUCH A (bleep)ING PIPE! DIDN'T THEY TEACH YOU ANYTHING, CATBOY!" (Apparently Mystel…maybe he should stop hanging around Garland so much?)

Boris paled as he noted the water seeping out from under the door, "What the hell…?" He grasped the handle and turned it…Bad move, evil man.

And thus, the:

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sound.

Out of the bolted metal door came the 12 feet of water as Boris screamed and ran the opposing way, yelling in rapid Russian. The 5 chibi's and 1 cat and 1 fox on a wood shelf that had broken off from the cabinet flowing with the water. 4 screaming chibi's and 1 wailing one, along with two animals who were currently hugging each other and screaming "MY GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" along with a brown falcon struggling to fly away from the water as the huge tidal wave roared through the hallways.

More screaming, cursing, and many-a soaked teens and adults soon followed.

And that's not even half of it—Considering I can't mention what happened with Voltaire and his office seeing as it would exceed the cursing limit as well as the rating…. probably would exceed the M rating as well…

SO BWAHA. END FLASHBACK!

End Flashback!

"Never…again…" Mariah mumbled angrily as she wrung out some of her hair with her hands, "do I want to see water…AT ALL… AGAIN…"

"I'm still pondering the aspect of how we got outta there," Tyson said as he wrung out his hat, a futile attempt to dry it, as a chibi Hiro refused to let go of his leg, crying and saying something incoherently to Tyson in…what apparently seemed to be Russian. He hadn't let go of his "older" brother since they gang had reunited with the chibi's and Emily kept teasing that he was never going to. Max was asleep in Judy's arms, occasionally saying something in Chinese— one phrase made Lee, Mariah, and Kevin wide eyed and made Lee spit her water out, coughing. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was something bad. Ray was talking to Johnny cheerfully and occasionally gesturing around to the others or to something, and for odd reason the two had become close friends in the past 20 minutes they had escaped from the "evil lair." No one dared asked WHY the hell they were becoming friends, anyway, but it kept them out of trouble so they honestly didn't care. Mathilda was shaking like a leaf from her experience with the shelf (and the bunnies who, as she dubbed them, "pointed in different directions like floppy-eared (bleep)ing freaks who have no (bleep)ing sense of direction what so (beep)ing ever.") and Kevin was complaining that he had swallowed feathers from his fight with Hilary.

Mystel also had refused to let go of Garland's arm, and Garland, by this point, had given up trying to get the chibi off since he seemed to ignore him and only wail something in Egyptian… and since no one else spoke Egyptian, they all just blinked and ignored him. Brooklyn didn't seem all to phased and was just sitting in the grass, surrounded by small animals.

"I can't believe we survived that," Bryan mumbled, shaking water off himself. Spencer nodded,

"It's Karma," Spencer replied, shrugging. He was sitting around with all of the other teens and animals while the (not fretting) chibi's played a game of tag…FAR FROM ANY CLIFFS WHAT SO EVER… yeah.

"Spencey," Tala asked, tugging the tall teen's sleeve. Tala hadn't wanted to play tag until Hiro got off of Tyson's lap (FYI, Tyson was sitting down now and Hiro had moved onto his lap and clung to his jacket now) and was currently laying on Bryan's stomach, making the husky growl, "Who Karma? She nice?"

"Er…Karma isn't a person…" Spencer blinked, "It's what comes around…You know…. What goes around, comes around."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…That doesn't answer your question, does it?"

"No, not weally," Tala honestly replied, sighing. While Spencer struggled to explain the concept of "karma" to Tala, Tyson failed to notice Hiro had wandered from his lap with Mystel and Max (who had un-clung from Garland's arm/"woke up" from his mom's arms).

Kai was leaning on the tree, his eyes closed, ignoring everyone around him until a loud shout of "WHAT PART OF KARMA DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND DAMMIT!" made the slate-haired boy jump in surprise. Kai looked at Spencer curiously as Tala huffed and rejoined the rest of the chibi's, who were currently lying on the grass, mumbling to each other in random languages…although none of them were speaking the same language, the conversation seemed to go pretty smoothly.

"Eh, so what now?" Oliver asked as she untied her ponytail, letting her hair down. "I mean, we're miles away from any civilization that we know of and we're stuck with…how many chibi's again?"

"10," Judy supplied. "And I'm not sure, Oliver…"

"Well," Moses started, swinging upside from a tree branch by his legs, over the teens and two adults, who were seated in a big circle, "We could always camp out!"

"That's like your first line in… " Rick silently counted, "4 chapters… And this is my first line in… wait I said something earlier in the chapter. WHY AM I GETTING LINE DEPRIVED!"

"Shut up, Rick," Miguel said, glaring at him. Beside him, Mathilda sweatdropped as the other simply sighed.

"Kai-Kai-Kun?"

Kai snapped his eyes so abruptly from the nickname, the sudden burst of light made him fall forward... strange, but that's what happened. He glared at the chibi Tala and Hiro who were looking innocently at him. "What do you want…" He growled coldly, glaring hard. Hiro visibly flinched from his tone and the glare, but Tala only grinned, not phased at all—apparently he was used to it.

"We're bored." Tala got straight to the point, "Play with us?" Tala asked, cocking his head cutely. Kai simply responded by getting up and resuming his earlier position. Hiro frowned,

"Awwwww, c'mon, pwease?" Hiro tugged Kai's pant leg lightly. Kai ignored him.

"Ya, c'mon, Kai-Kai-Kun!" Tala teased, grinning and tugging on Kai's pant leg as well, "Pwease?"

"No."

"Pwease?" The two chibi's started in unison.

"No."

"Pwease?"

"No."

"Pwease?"

"Nyet." (A/N: Russian for "No")

"Pozhal'sta?" (A/N: Russian for "Please" … but it also kinda means "you are welcome" XP… or does it means "Please, you are welcome?" O.o The sheet I had was… a little off, I think.)

"Nyet."

"Pozhal'sta?"

"Nyet."

"Pozhal'sta?"

"Nyet."

"Pozhal'sta?"

"Nyet."

"Pozhal'sta?"

"NYET!"

"Pozhal'sta?"

"NYET!"

Tala and Hiro frowned and whimpered, "Pozhal'sta?"

"NYET DAMMIT NYET!"

"Poooozzhaaallll'stttaaaa?"

By now, everyone was looking over at Kai and Tala and Hiro as the chibi's pleaded a Russian Plleeaaaassseeeeee? and Kai growled a Russian NO!

Finally, Bryan and Jet had enough,

"WE'VE HAVE ENOUGH!" Bryan shouted over them. Kai and the chibi's immediately shut up, looking at the purple jacket-wearing husky dog. "KAI JUST (bleep)ING PLAY WITH THEM! IS IT THAT (bleep)ING HARD!"

"OR FIND SOMETHING FOR THEM TO DO!" Jet added, growling. "KHAROSHAW?" (A/N: Kharoshaw is Russian for "OK"… but it also means "Good" XP In this case, it's OK)

"…Okay…" Kai grumbled, glaring at the two fuming Russians. "…Tyson, what do you have in that damned backpack of yours, anyway?"

"Uh…" Tyson zipped it open and started to dig through it, muttering random things in Japanese. Out of his backpack he took out…

A screwdriver.

A beyblade.

A Frisbee.

A couch.

A computer. (luckily not related to Dizzi, or she would've been mad)

A pad of sticky notes.

A box of tissues.

A folder.

A dictionary. (why Tyson had a book is beyond me, though)

A whip ('for use on Boris only' engraved on the handle)

A can of silly putty. (Must be his brains… -shot- )

A remote.

A cup.

A refrigerator. (… This is self-explanatory, isn't it?)

A TV.

A script.

A pack of matches. (…we better confiscate those before burns something down…)

A green-almost-blue marble.

List sound familiar? It should. It's exactly what Bryan had in his pocket… save some of the subtitles weren't there.

"DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING INTERESTING IN THIS BACKPACK OR JUST EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THE KITCHEN SINK!" All the teens and animals and adults (the chibi's found it amusing) yelled after 5 minutes of Tyson pulling out random junk.

A toy sink was pulled out moments later.

"….I…won't ask…I really just won't ask…" Michael said slowly as he blinked.

Pause.

"…" Tyson pulled out a bag of something. "Hm? Hey, water balloons!"

Gemini cast a suspicious You knew he had those earlier, didn't you? kinda look that made Jet sweatdrop and chuckle nervously.

"How about we let the chibi's play with the water balloons?" Tyson suggested.

DING, DING, DING!

Tyson is stupid, as given WATER BALLOONS to CHIBI'S is… well…

Bad idea number ONE.

"Hmm…why not?" Judy agreed.

DING, DING, DING!

Judy is apparently also stupid, as agreeing with Tyson NEVER leads to anything good…. unless it's on where to eat. Then by all means…

Bad idea number TWO.

"It doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's get the water!" Hilary chirped as Mathilda nodded.

DING, DING, DING!

Hilary and Mathilda both have apparently lost all their common sense as: A) There is no hose for miles upon miles. B) Where the hell are they gonna get the water? Or … Better yet…C) WHY the hell would they get the water?

Bad idea number THREE.

And counting…

Sheesh, while they're at it, why don't they just hand Voltaire a little key and a sash-thingy that says "Ruler of the Earth" and say: "Voltaire, we here by surrender and the world is now yours. Kill us all and/or make us your slaves and/or mindless zombies."

… Whoops—better not give them any ideas…

——XX

"Okay, you … 10?" Judy started uncertainly, "We have a few buckets of water balloons for you to play with. After those are done, we have a snack for you, all right?"

The chibi's all nodded as each of the teens handed the chibi's a water balloon.

"And…go!" Immediately, the adults and teens ducked and hide as screams of "AH IT'S COLD!" echoed through the clearing as the water balloons were thrown. The scared teens peeked out and…unfortunately, Kai hadn't gotten the message of "GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE THEY'RE THROWING WATER BALLOONS DAMMIT" from Tyson as he was just leaning on the tree… or he was until…

"HEY KAI-KAI-KUN!" Tala yelled as Kai opened one eye and looked at him boredly. "SURPRISE!" Kai didn't have time to move out of the way, and if he did, he would have been hit anyway, as Ray, Tala, Mystel, and Max pummeled the slate-haired boy with water balloons, soaking him through.

The others, including Bruce and Judy, were trying desperately not to laugh at the sight of the soaking wet Kai and the 4 giggling chibi's. Kai growled as he shook his head, spraying water all over.

"You little br—… ACK!" He attempted to duck as Tala pelted him in the chest, "TALA I WILL KILL YOU!" Kai shouted as Tala got him again, this time directly in the face. "WHY YOU!" Kai lunged for the redhead, who sidestepped and ran off, giggling with another water balloon clutched in his hand. Kai grabbed a water balloon himself and chased after Tala, who was easily evading him. That was it for them to give in— the others who were hiding burst into laughter at the sight of an enraged Kai chasing after the quick and evasive chibi Tala, Kai shouting in Russian at him. The look on Bryan, Ian, and Spencer's faces suggested it wasn't to be repeated.

The other chibi's sighed and collapsed backwards on their bottoms, annoyed because their main target was now occupied with Tala. Hiro was the only one who didn't look too phased by the concept and was just sitting down next to Brooklyn, who was sitting next to Max, talking to him in what seemed to be Chinese. Max was responding in Russian…like earlier, somehow the conversation seemed to go rather smoothly.

"GRAH! TALA!" Kai growled and shook his fist at Tala, who started giggling uncontrollably, seeing as he had just hit Kai in the stomach with enough force to send him backwards onto his bottom. "Huh?" Kai blinked in confusion, as did everyone else there, as Tala strode over to the bucket (there was 4 buckets of water balloons). He wasn't getting a water balloon, Kai knew, since that bucket was empty. So…what was the redhead doing?

Tala only hummed something (something along the lines of 'Mary had a little horse, little horse, little horse, his fur was brown and oh so coarse, that little horse of hers!') as he picked up the bucket with a little struggle and ambled over to Kai, grunting slightly with the bucket's weight.

"...Huh? What are you… Wait… Tala… what is in there? Tala? TALA DON'T YOU DARE DUMP THAT—" Kai was cut off.

SPLLLASSSSHHHH!

Tala started giggling madly as Kai growled. The bucket was filled to the brim with water, which was now dripping down Kai, his head hidden under the bucket. Everyone laughed harder, bar the chibi's, as Kai growled.

"TALA I WILL KILL YOU!" Kai yelled as he lifted the bucket up and tossed it off his head (the bucket ended up hitting poor little chibi Hiro in the head). Kai growled as Tala kept giggling from the fact that Kai's shark fins on his face were running and dripping from the water. When Tala stopped giggling long enough to look at Kai, he realized the teen was serious.

"WAAH!" Tala screamed and turned tail, running as fast as he could away from Kai. "OH C'MON KAI-KAI! YA WOULDN'T WEALLY KILL ME WOULD YA?" … "OH KUSO MAYBE YA WOULD!"

Mystel sighed, "Is Kai-Kai gonna kill Tally? " The Egyptian boy frowned as the other chibi's shrugged.

"Nah, he woves him too much," Max chirped, grinning.

"Yeah," Brooklyn agreed.

"But now we need a new target!" Ray complained, "Who should it be?"

"Dunno," Max replied. "…" He suddenly smirked, "…Huddle in, boys…" Max ordered as Brooklyn, Mystel and Hitoshi got into a circle around Max, utterly confused. "Now, here's what we do…" Max started whispering.

"They're plotting something," Garland said warily as he pointed to the chibi's. He was peeking out from behind the tree, where all the others were hiding.

"How do you know that?" Tyson asked curiously, "For all we know they could just be whispering and huddled up and talking to each other."

"…" Everyone, bar Judy and Bruce, gave Tyson that 'you're an idiot' look as Tyson glared at them.

"I KNOW they're plotting something because they keep looking over at us!" Garland explained, glaring at Tyson, who glared back. "If that doesn't scream "they're plotting something" I don't know what does!"

"WE'RE PLOTTING SOMETHIN'!" Max suddenly yelled from the huddle.

Everyone: … —sweatdrop—

"Apparently MAX…" Judy said slowly (In response to "I don't know what does") as the other chibi's started mumbling to Max in multiple languages which all roughly translated to…

"YOU IDIOT!" Mystel hissed, growling. "We can't let them KNOW we're PWOTTING something!"

"But they alweady DO know we're pwotting something…" Hitoshi argued, frowning.

"…" This took a minute to fully click in Max's mind, "…Well…I…you…he…we…she…AW JUST SHUDDAP AND SIT DOWN!" Max growled as the chibi's quietly sat down cross-legged and in a circle.

"I have a question." Mystel raised his hand as Max and other chibi's slowly turned to him, wearing a look of "What the hell does he want now?"

"That's a statement, actually." Brooklyn said smartly, smiling. Mystel glared coldly at Brooklyn as Max sweatdropped,

"Uh…ya?" Max ushered the Egyptian to go on.

"Does it involve water?" Mystel asked as he brought his hand down.

Max blinked, his plan running over in his mind quickly, "It involves dat waterfall and dat dam. What do you think?" Max ignored the chorus of "ooh, you said a bad word…" from Ray.

"Uh…yes?" Mystel answered, grinning shyly.

"Then yes. Water. Lots…and lots…of water." Max replied slyly, smirking evilly. "But first…we need a distraction. Mystel, Ray…you know da dwill…"

Mystel and Ray smirked, "Wet's see if these wosers can catch a fast ball…" Ray smirked with a catlike smirk.

"…You know I think Michael can," Mystel mused.

"Shut up, Mystel," Max growled. "And one thing, Ray…"

"Yeeess?"

"I BWAME YOU!"
