Notes: Thanks for reviewing! The story behind this fan fiction is simple.. I wrote a really lame story years ago and the grammar was terrible, as was the story. So my friend spiffed it up and added some querky stuff to it. This is what it has become, haha.

Chapter Four

The Dream Becomes A Reality

We ran up the stairs that lead to the inner city. Half of the houses were lit on fire, and the burning people were running around frantically. Instead of helping those on fire, we all drew out our weapons. And went to go investigate what had happened while we were gone. We found Valuan soldiers torturing and killing the townspeople. Our warriors were in battles with Valua.

Three soldiers ran towards us, and a battle begun…

"Spaz Patrol!" Nicole yelled, summoning three police officers with epilepsy who charged at a soilder, tazering his ass. He fell to

the stone ground knocking his head on the cement, blood poured out from the back of his head, causing it to make a small puddle. Much like the puddle underneath me. "Why do they look so shocked? It's like they've never seen a woman fight before.." I couldn't understand it! "Or maybe it's because they've never fought someone who just out and pissed during a fight." A deep crimson shade colored my cheeks, but I carried on, grabbing for a nearby mop.

"CHARGE!" More soliders came at us, ready to smack our asses to playdoh. But I wasn't scared.. My pez was loaded and ready to go, chewbacca looked more than ready to launch his shit. "UUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Laura cried, beating a man with an arm she found on the ground. He was down, finally. But I launched a pez just to make sure, I mean.. what if he was just pretending? WHAT IF THE REAL ARMY IS IN MY FUCKING SHIP RIGHT NOW AND ARE STEALING MY 109 LOAVES OF BREAD!

"ARGH HELP ME!" someone yelled.

We looked to our right and saw Mark being attacked by five Valuans, we ran over to help him…but we were too late. One of the soldiers had stabbed him in the chest with a dagger.

"HORSE RADISH!" a man called from a ship. All the Valuans retreated and boarded their ships, and sailed away.

"MARK! NO!" Nicole yelled as she ran up to Mark. She knelt down beside him and cradled him in her arms. "Mark can you hear me!" She yelled.

"Our cat is dead.. and.. I.. never cleaned the fish bowl." He murmered, whincing from the pain. "And.. I love you." Then he took his final breath and did right there in Nicole's arms, a sudden stench filling the air. "NO!" Nicole screamed. She buried her face in his chest and cried.

I looked at Lori and gave her a sad look. Laura was almost in tears and her hands covered her mouth.

Mark was a masterful chef.

Tears formed in my eyes and one trickled down my cheek.

Daigo walked up to Nicole, and wrapped his arm around her.

"It's ok Nicole." He said in a soothing voice. He stroked her hair and let her cry on his shoulder.

"Nicole?" Laura said as we walked over to her. "Are you ok?"

"No, I beat pigeons when I'm happy." Nicole sobbed, gently clobbering a wandering pigeon.

We all walked to Nicole's house, all of us in tears…

We had spent two weeks in Nasr helping to rebuild some of the houses. None of our close ones were injured other than Mark.

My dog, Sadie had gotten a small burn on her side, but it was nothing serious and the doctor said she still had many years left in her.

How she got out of the house with only a burn on her thigh made me nervous, and I started to respect my small dog more.

Nicole hadn't been saying much lately. I had guessed it was her way of dealing with Mark. If we said anything about him, she would break out in tears and have outbursts of anger. And with all the pigeons fleeting south, she had no one to beat.. except maybe.. Louis. Laura on the other hand was pissed as hell. While we all were working hard, Derek and Moegi had been walking by, whispering to each other. I smell sex. Question? No, good. Sex then. Thanks.

"Oooo, I am so going to kill that bitch." Laura said clutching her fist.

"Man, I can't wait for that!" I said, as I laughed at her. "Where's Nicole? She was supposed to help us build the item shop!" I said as I turned my head in every direction looking for her. I always fought silently with tourettes, but today it was worse than ever.

Tiny Tim lost more than a leg thanks to me.

"Probably making a move on Daigo!" Laura said as she laughed.

"Hahaa yeah, no kidding." I said as I covered my mouth and laughed. "No seriously where the hell is she?"

"I don't know." Laura said, filling her depends. "I'll go look for her."

"Ok, I'll wait here."

"Ok, I'll be back in a jiffy." She said as she ran around the corner, opening a bottle of peanut butter.

"Jesus, where the hell is she!" Laura asked herself as she walked into the Inn.

"Hey, this is Jesus." Jesus appeared.

"OH GOD!" I silently pissed myself. "Do.. you know where Nicole is?"

"Losing her virginity to a chinese goat." He disappeared, and I suddenly knew where to look.

"Hey, Erin. Have you seen Nicole anywhere?" Laura asked.

Erin was the inn keeper.

"Hi, Laura. She's up in her room with this really cute yafutoman." Erin said.

"HAHAA, how did I know this was going to happen?" Laura laughed as she climbed up the stairs to Nicole's room. We all had to stay at the Inn because of the houses; the Inn was the only place that hadn't caught fire. Convenient.

"Okay, I better brace myself." Laura said as she opened the door a crack to peek in. "Hello…?"

"Hey Laura! What are you doing here?" Nicole asked.

Well they weren't doing anything. Nicole was just showing Daigo her Kama Sutra that she brought from her house.

"Uhhh, you were supposed to help me and Steph with the Item shop today. REMEMBER?" Laura said.

"Ohhh, right I totally forgot, sorry. I'll be right there." Nicole said.

"Where is Laura?" I asked myself. She had already taken 8 minutes looking for her. EIGHT FUCKING MINUTES! IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME I COULD HAVE BAKED AN APPLE PIE.

"Hey Steph, sorry. Little miss Nix here forgot." Laura said as they both walked over to me.

"Hey shut up!" Nicole said.

"Hahaa." I said. "That's probably not the only reason."

"Nothing happened." Nicole said. "Let's just start building the Item shop so we can go sailing soon." I grabbed a fork, as a pie had never sounded so good before.
