The Rest

Kate

The Ferris Wheel was almost done hauling us to the bottom. Once Jerome pulled us to a stop, I jumped out and spun around to face Megan, Seto, and the other two.

"Why was I needed up there exactly and why did we even go to the top of the Ferris Wheel?" I asked.

"To answer the first question, I didn't know who we needed, second answer is just to be safe," Megan replied, her brother hobbling along on her shoulder.

"Oh, and what's this 'Sweep' she was talking about?" I questioned pointing at the other girl.

"I've got that one," The girl started, "It's basically where the government comes in and eradicates anything living within the quadrant."

"And how would they do that?" Jerome asked, leaning on the control panel.

"Easy. Morvis charges and then bullets. They send off about ten charges and then go through the capital with a lot of bullets."

"Why are they called Morvis charges?" Seto questioned.

"Well, it was meant to be Mors Vis charges, but it got simplified to Morvis."

I went over to Jerome and leaned on the other side of the panel, "And what's your name exactly?"

"Kate."

"Well, I don't mean to put a damper on the conversation, but it's pretty late, and a lack of sleep won't get us anywhere," Megan announced.

Jerome's stomach growled as if on purpose, "A lack of food won't be good, either."

Everyone burst out laughing and Kate went over to open the gate on the other side. We all exited and went to a nearby sitting area. Some sort of swing ride was right next to it.

"Uh... I think I'll go out to the pick-up with... Seto and go get the packs and a few weapons," Megan announced.

"And what makes you think I don't need to eat, too?" Seto argued.

Megan shoved her face towards his ear to tell him something. Seto obliged with the plan.

"Okay, so all of you guys go around to the food stands and grab food that doesn't require cooking, but only grab what you will eat. Oh, and grab some for Cal, too," She told us.

"Hey! I can grab my own food!" He retorted.

Seto glared at him, "You need a bit of rest still. You'll be fine tomorrow morning."

Cal shrugged and put his head down on the table. I went over to Jerome as Seto and Megan were leaving.

"So, dood, where ya want to go find the food?" I asked him in my usual tone.

"I dunno, buddy, but how 'bout we go around and try to find something good? Maybe some ice cream!"

I started running and he caught up to me quickly. It was hard to get used to seeing him as a person and not the fluffy, but he was still Jerome either way. We ran through what seemed to be a gift shop and into another part of the park. Once we were to a food area, we quit running and panted a bit.

"Well, I think we might have hit the jackpot," Jerome started. He walked around and looked into a building, "And there's ice cream!"

"I found something over here! There's a truck and it has these things in it called 'tortilla chips'! There are a lot of bags of tortilla chips in here," I announced after hauling myself up into a food truck.

"Well, grab a bag or two and let's continue. We can get ice cream after. Or tomorrow. Or tonight. We'll have some of it at some point," Jerome told me after walking towards the truck I was in.

I crawled back out the window with a bag of the chips in my mouth. At least the bags were pretty big.

"So where we goin' now?" I asked Jerome.

"I dunno, but how about this way," He pointed down opposite the way we came, "There might be something this way."

We walked around and didn't see anything that looked very interesting. In the way of food, that is. There was a giant tower, though.

"What is that? It's so huge!" I asked, looking up at the tower.

"I wish I knew 'cause it looks awesome. Wonder what it does..."

"How about we go back to that one truck and get more food. After that, we'll go back to the eating area and ask Megan. She seems to know a lot about this place," I recommended.

We ran back towards the truck. I noticed that the windshield had "3 Tacos for 8.00" painted on it. Hauling myself up, I helped Jerome get in. We looked around. All I found was a few bottles of something called "salsa". I grabbed a few plastic cups and a bottle. Jerome got another bag of chips.

"I think we made it good! I wonder what the other's found..." Jerome wondered.

We walked back to the meeting place and saw that Cal was there, along with our packs. My weapons were there along with Seto's and Megan's. Ssundee and Sky were coming back from the way we entered the park. They were carrying a bunch of random food items. Also, for some reason, Sky was wearing a fedora and Ssundee had a fluffy tail that was pink and green.

"Oh, hey guys. I see you brought some chips and salsa. And a lot of it," Cal noticed, one eye open with his head still on the table.

"Yep! You want some?" Jerome asked.

He shrugged, "If you want me to."

"Hey! What'd you guys get?" Sky called out.

"Oh, nothin' much, buddy. Just some tortilla chips. What about you guys?" Jerome asked.

"You have got to be kidding me," Cal started.

"What?" I asked him.

"'Tortilla' chips? Really? It's pronounced Tortiya. The double l makes a y sound. It's Spanish."

"Oh, sorry. Didn't know that..." Jerome replied.

"Well, to answer your question, fluffy, we got a bunch of stuff called chocolate and a few caramel apples," Sky announced.

Everyone started coming back towards the eating area. Ant, Deadlox, and TrueMU had found some salads in a place nearby where we found the chips and salsa. Megan and Seto had come back with all of the weapons; Seto panting because of Ant's hammer.

"No one raided this place?" Megan said, pointing to a building across from the eating area, "Wow. I'll go get some stuff. It's pretty amazing food from in there."

She walked up to the open serving window and crawled over the counter. After she opened a lot of cabinets and other things, she came back with several cookies and cups filled with white stuff.

"Cookie, anyone?" She asked. Everyone went up to her and grabbed one, leaving her with five of them left.

We ate in the least quiet way possible. Cal slept as everyone was talking over everyone. When Jerome and I were full, we rolled up the bags of chips and closed the lid on the salsa. The salsa was kind of spicy. I liked it and so did Jerome.

"We're gonna go get some ice cream. Anyone want to come?" I asked. Sky, Ssundee, Ant, and Deadlox stood up to come with us. Kate did, too.

"There's an ice cream place in one of the buildings in front of the Ferris Wheel," Megan pointed out, her mouth full of what she called yogurt.

We walked towards the buildings and saw the one with the ice cream. Kate jumped behind the counter and grabbed a spoon.

"Ice cream, anyone? Served in mounds! And get it free for a limited time!" She joked, leaning on the counter. Her black hair covered one of her blue eyes, just like most people's hair did in Minecraft.

"Hmm..." I pondered over all of the flavors, "Half of a spoonful of each?"

"Comin' right up!" She grabbed a cup and started filling it with a bunch of colorful ice cream. One looked a lot like clown barf.

Everyone else "ordered" their ice cream in, not surprisingly, huge amounts. Ssundee's alone was three times bigger than the bowl.

We walked back, careful not to spill any of the ice cream. Sky's hill of ice cream lost a scoop, though.

"Holy crap, guys. Could you have gotten any more carried away?" Megan asked.

"Maybe, but this is good!" I announced, eating some of mine, "Clown barf tastes good with vanilla and chocolate."

"Ahh, the classic clown barf sherbet," Megan said.

We ate our ice cream in a very... drippy manner. Everyone's was about half on the ground and half eaten. Kate's and mine were the only ones that didn't spill. Mine was about to when Jerome almost knocked it off the edge of the table. Miraculously, no one got a brain freeze, as Jerome had earlier.

"Okay. Sleeping arrangements," Megan started, "Three people can sleep in the car approximately. I'm thinking that Shipwreck Falls and the Sea Dragon will do nicely for sleeping. Both have long, padded seats."

"I'm good wherever," Cal told us.

"I think that we can all stay in the park, actually. Everyone grab your pack and weapon and I'll show you the places."

Jerome, Sky, Ssundee, Ant, and I went to Shipwreck Falls to sleep. The rest went to the Sea Dragon. I used my pack as a pillow and put my bag of knives on the foot space beneath the seat.

"Night everyone!" Sky yelled.

"Night."

"Ughhhh..."

"Shut up, Sky."

I said the last one. I couldn't help myself.

Okay, so the next chapter will be the one I hinted to last chapter. Have fun with this, and expect a new chapter tomorrow!

Oh, and here are a few things for you to ponder:

Can you cry under water?

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What did cured ham actually have?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

If you drink Pepsi at work in the Coke factory, will they fire you?

Why are you IN a movie, but you are ON TV?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?

Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.

If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call?

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
