Sorry this took so long. It was only a matter of procrastination, lack of work ethic, and a surprise family vacation that this took so long. Anyway, I hope you guys like this because IT TAKES UP 42 PAGES IN WORD. 42! I mean, the number is awesome, but that's a lot of pages...
Characters:
Wintra (POV)
-Fart Noise-
A new character! Ish.
The car had come to a complete stop and I jumped out. Jerome tried doing the same, but his foot got caught and he did a flip. A very non-elegant flip. Bajan laughed his head off, but I don't blame him. Most flips don't consist of face... trucking?
Before anyone else, I went over to the girl and lifted her head up. She was out for the count.
Maybe she would wake up if I had to do what I do to wake up Seto. Hmm... I thought.
I used my first finger and thumb and held her nose shut. Not a usual way to do things, but I'm not a usual person.
She continued to breathe like she was earlier, but now that I had her nose plugged, she sounded like a dying pig.
"Please tell me we don't have another unconscious person..." Cal hoped.
I paused a bit before answering, "No, she's just a really deep sleeper."
Bajan must've thought I was using sarcasm, "I got the legs."
"No, we aren't picking her up. She's in the phase of REM sleep, so she's still conscious, in a way," I told them.
Just then, she started tossing and turning. She was muttering something, too. It sounded like an old legend. Still asleep, she threw her hand back and hit Bajan in the knee. He cringed from the pain just as she woke up.
"Wha..." She started, "Who are you?"
She sat up and soon stood up, backing over to a wall.
I looked down at what she was wearing: A dark grey jacket, black shorts, an orange belt, and black combat boots, like mine, but they had red laces.
Her eyes were a strange amber color. I knew exactly who she was, "You're Blaze, aren't you?"
"No, no, no. You must be mistaken," She replied.
"Well, in my defense, you look a lot like Griffin..."
"Gri... Griffin? Who's that?" She almost broke.
I could just say that she was Blaze right now, but if I didn't get her to tell me herself, she'd never trust any of us, "If you aren't Blaze, who are you?"
"That's not important. And besides, I asked you guys who you were," She noted.
"Okay then. I'm Wintra, and those three are Megan, Jerome, and Cal."
"Who are the others then?"
"That's not important," I replied, using her excuse.
Seto stepped up beside me, "Are you sure you should be doing this?" He whispered.
"Yes, now shut up," I shot back quietly.
"What are you two doing?" She asked.
"Nothing. Now are you gonna tell us who you are?"
"Fine. I'm Blaze. What about it?"
"As I said, Griffin came here just to find you. You should have heard him rant."
"H-he did?"
"Yep. He did."
"Well, where is he?"
"I have no idea. He went off to try and find you," I told her.
"He was always the 'brave' one. Goes all out on doing something, but when it gets tough, he cowers in a corner. At least whenever I'm with him."
"Well, uh, we could talk about it on the way," I suggested, pointing my thumb at the car.
"Well, then. Where do I sit?" She asked.
I looked back at the group, "Are we sitting in the same places?"
Cal and Megan looked at each other. Both nodded.
"Okay. So just join us in the back and we'll be on our way."
We all jumped into the back, mostly sitting in the same places as on the way here. It took the people in the front a bit longer to pile in, but we were on our way eventually.
"So who are the rest of the gang here? You didn't tell me their names," She asked.
"What would you like to know? Real names, nicknames, fake names, what?" I asked.
"How about real names and the fake names. I assume the fake names are like, an identity here, right?"
I looked at Seto, "You got the real names part?"
"Yep. Okay... So here in the back there's Ssundee, BajanCanadian, JeromeASF? Or is it ASFJerome?"
"It's ASFJerome," He replied.
"Okay. Well then. I'm SetoSorcerer, this is WinTraFiel, and Megan is right there."
Megan waved, "Yo."
"Now for the people in the front... There's Cal, AntVenom, then CaptainSparklez in the front row," Seto started.
"Uh-huh."
"Then in the back row, there's SkythekidRS, Deadlox, and TrueMU."
"Okay. That's a lot of names, but onto the fake ones?" She suggested.
I took a breath, "There's Tyson, Jared, Andrew, Will, Sam..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Could you tell me who goes by each name?"
"Possibly. Okay... Uh... Seto is Steven... Megan, Cal, Jerome, and Sky use their names, and... Uh... I don't know any more..." I admitted.
"I got this," Seto volunteered, "Deadlox is Tyson, Ssundee is Will, Bajan is Chris, Captain is Sam, Ant is Andrew... Anyone else?"
"TrueMU?" She reminded him.
"Oh, his is Jared."
I looked up to see the supports of the tunnel passing in a blur. The walls of this tunnel were a yellowish color from the lighting. Standing up, I looked in front of the car. I failed to see any exit.
"How long is this tunnel? And why is it here?" I asked Megan.
"Well, it's... about 170 miles," She told me.
"And that's how far exactly?"
"Oh, uh..." She pulled out her phone, "Let me see... 273,588 blocks."
Everyone in the back end was staring in disbelief at the large sum.
"That's like... a long ways," Jerome said, brilliantly.
"And that'll take how long to get through?" I asked, almost forgetting by second question.
"About three hours."
"THREE HOURS?!" Bajan shouted, "UUUGGGGHHH!"
"Um, okay then. Oh, and it's here so that you don't have to drive over the mountains, which would take even longer," She told us.
"Okay. I'm fine with that," Bajan said, surprisingly.
"What happens when we gotta pee?" Jerome asked, randomly.
Megan scratched her head, "There is a part that looks like the world's longest men's room, so go there, hold it in, or..."
"What?"
"This conversation took a major detour. Anyway, anyone got a joke?" She asked.
"SkythekidRS," Someone said in a strange voice.
An awkward silence followed for a little bit and then everyone burst into laughter. This was fun, but it would be a long time.
"Okay. What do you call 20,000 drowned lawyers?" Megan asked.
Everyone sat there clueless.
"A good start! Haha... ha?"
"I don't get it..." Jerome stated.
Megan shrugged, "Okay, how about another. Light travels faster than sound. That's why people appear bright until they speak."
"Not bad, not bad, but I got a better one. So a teacher is talking about self-esteem in class. She asks all of the people who think they're stupid to stand up. One student does. The teacher asks 'I'm surprised you stood up. Why did you?'. The student replies 'Well, I didn't want you to be alone'," Bajan told us.
I cracked a smile, "Okay, I think I have one. A bus full of ugly people were in a wreck. When they died, Notch said that he could grant them all one wish. The first one asked to be gorgeous, so they were. The next asked the same thing, and on and on. Notch noticed the last guy laughing. By the time Notch got to the 10th to last person, the last guy was rolling around on the ground with laughter. When his turn came, he simply said 'I wish they were all ugly again'."
"But I got one. I was wondering why the ball kept getting bigger and bigger, and then it hit me!" Jerome said.
"You ain't got nuttin'," Blaze told us, "This crazy guy walks into a restaurant and tells the waiter 'Lemme get a cheeseburger, not too rare, not too well done, but right in the groove. Lemme get some fries, not too burnt, not too fresh, but right in the groove. And while you're at it, throw in a shake, not too thin, not too thick, but right in groove'. The waiter took down the order and came back five minutes later and told the man 'The cook said you can kiss his butt, not to the left, not to the right, but right in the groove'."
Megan threw her hand over her mouth, trying to stifle a laugh, but failed. Everyone else was laughing their heads off. Up in the front, I saw Cal's face reflected off of the side mirror, and he was confused.
I just wondered how confused he'd be if he was back here.
Well then...
Megan: DID YOU GET THE JOKE?
Me: Oh my gosh. NOT THE FOURTH WALL!
Megan: -Holding Ant's Hammer- It was fun! You got a fifth?
Me: -_- It doesn't work that way.

Anyway, I was sitting in my living room, watching MythBusters, and this commercial comes on.
It was about Zombie viruses, in a way.
My face was a real life: O_O', all because it was talking about a Zombie virus that would do the same thing as mine in this story. EXACTLY.
Holy Bologna. I think Morgan Freeman's onto us.
Anyway, that was creepy, and I hope you enjoyed. I don't really need to do a joke down here. If you don't know why... God help you.
...
...
Wait, I do need to put something else down here. You know how they rate all of these games and other random things M and et cetera, just because of the language? Ha. Haha. I hear worse things in my dad's golf game.
...
...
DON'T EAT THAT!
