A.N. Yay thanks to nooneneeds2know for reviewing and we are nearing the introduction of the movie actors but first Blue and I need to introduce our friends to my many OC's.

Disclaimer: I do not claim rights to the movie or book let along to characters portrayed, Lilly and Fred are just friends of mine and any OC's that are present in this chapter that were in Limbo will return once I am done with them.

Chapter 9

"Finally!" I exclaimed as I saw our suitcases come down the ramp. I grabbed the one with our clothes while blue grabbed the one with our little 'quest'. Lilly smirked knowing fully well what it was in Blue's suitcase but was kind enough to keep it a secret. I cast a glance to Darren taking a guess as to what his expression would be and laughed to myself.

Once the freaks had their suitcases in hand, our group made our way to the door, stopping a few times due to fans recognizing the strange members. "Where's the bus?" Blue asked from my left as we got out side and saw no signs of our transport. I flipped out my cell phone and checked the time; 3:20 pm.

I then went to my contacts and dialed the number for our transport driver knowing that they should have been here about an hour ago.

I stood waiting for an answer that came after the second ring.

"Hello?" It was muffled almost as if the one talking had food in their mouth.

"Where are you?" I asked not wanting to continue standing outside, even though it was a beautiful day. There was a pause as the person on the other end probably swallowed what was in his mouth.

"Boss? What are you doing back so soon?!" They sounded shocked which was strange because this character usually couldn't show emotion. Unless something happened while I was gone.

"I am not back any sooner that I had planned, you just forgot to write the date down." I stated knowing full well how forgetful this character could be. Blue tapped my shoulder and indicated for me to hand her the phone.

"God dammit, Horse get your ass over here or so help me..." Blue left the threat hanging because other wise Horse wouldn't show up at all and then Blue and I would be stuck paying for transport. I shuddered at the thought of paying when I had so many other things I planned to use the money for.

Blue handed the phone back just in time for me to hear Horse's reply. "...ght Sorry I will be right there." and with that they hung up and I was left holding the cell to my ear. Replacing my cell to my pocket, I turned to the group and apologized for the delay.

It only took two hours for Horse to arrive in his large, totally trashed coach bus. The group starred at our choice of transportation and when they saw the driver they were even more weary to enter the bus.

The first Oc they of mine that they met was bare foot with dark navy blue pants that tucked a little under their heels. They had a green vest over a grey shirt that was missing the left sleeve, gloves on their hands one was solid red and only went a bit above the wrist and a red and navy blue striped one that went a little below the elbow, both of which were very loose. wrapped around their arm was a tattoo type mark much like my Oc Mia, and under their right eye they had a mark of the similar color.

Horse's hair was a slight red-ish brown with bangs that stuck out every which way, it was short in the back all except for two clumps that were bound by beads and one of the two had ribbon tied in a criss-cross pattern. The OC stood in the door way of the bus starring blankly at the group that Blue and I had returned with, behind me I could hear a whisper from someone that made me laugh.

"A they male or female?" I turned around deciding that everyone needed to be introduced.

"Okay Cirque and Freaks, this here is one of my many OC's," I paused just for the fun of it and usually moments like this call for those pauses. "You may all call 'IT' Horse." Everyone starred at the person and then it dawned on them what I called the character.

Lilly being who she is decided to raise her hand when other people would've just have blurted out their question. I dramatically pointed to her. "Yes, you child in the front, state your question." Lilly put down her hand and turned her gaze to the character in question. "So what is the gender of 'Horse' than cause you called them an 'IT'?" she made air quotes with the words Horse and IT.

I turned to Horse. "Well? What is your gender?" In reply to our questions Horse shrugged and said in that monotone voice that it uses. "I don't know?" I nodded then turned back to the group. "Yeah there has been a lot of debate on that subject so Horse is an It for now... And with that out of the way Everyone onto the bus." I said as I tossed my stuff to the back and sat down behind the driver seat.

Fred and Blue boarded after me sitting next to in adjacent seats with the live lobsters in either of their laps. After those two Lilly, Mr. Crepsley and Truska all boarded in that order Lilly sat adjacent to me with her bag between her and the window. Then the rest of our guests climbed aboard and Horse closed the door after getting seated in the driver seat.

An hour passed with slightly muffled conversation like that when you are standing in a large group and all around you people are whispering. Lilly continued to ask Horse questions to which the character just shrugged. I could hear Blue and Fred slightly more than anyone else due to the fact that if I don't listen to Blue at all times she may do something that I would regret later.

While listening to their conversation I couldn't help but catch the words 'your suitcase' coming from Fred, I turned and gave a warning look to Blue telling her that if she so much as touched that suitcase she would regret it. I watched as Blue leaned over the space between the two seats and whispered something in Fred's ear.

'This can only mean trouble.' I thought to myself as I turned back to the front of the bus. I watched as familiar settings passed by the bus outside and looked to my watch a little less than an hour, before I could check on the OC's and make sure that they didn't burn down the house while Blue and I were gone.

The bus pulled into the back yard entrance of our house and drove through the yard stopping just next to the garage of our off white colored house with chipping paint in areas revealing the red color underneath. Our group walked off the bus and began making our way to the front door our luggage in our hands or dragging behind us when out of nowhere a ring of fire circled around our group much like a snake coiling its way around its prey.

Fred leaned down next to the flame and being as sane as he was began poking his finger through it, almost as if testing its integrity, only to pull it out seconds later wincing at the pain that the flame caused and Blue started laughing at his pain much like she does with any ones pain (including her own).

The cirque members remained silent almost as if they expected this would happen when they arrived when they got here. I looked out to the surrounding area for the one behind this and saw a flash of black hair duck back behind the lawnmower that was parked next to the door. I sighed.

"Alright, Ashe or Lorrie, whichever it is, Let us go now." The group waited in silence and then from behind her hiding spot came a small seven year old with hair much like her mothers but eyes that she inherited from her father. Her hair was tied up into two ponytails that hung down by her shoulders and draped over them.

She smiled and slightly twitched her hand, which went unnoticed to everyone but me, and the flames disappeared just as quickly as they had appeared in the first place. She raced back inside and our group followed close behind, and knowing Blue's and my luck from the bag that Blue was rolling into the house came a muffled yelling just like on the plane when I went to check on it.

Everyone turned and watched as Blue punched what was in the bag. I sighed again and took the handle from her muttering to myself. I bent down grabbed a hold of of the zipper and brought it up and over allowing the now awake and very angry passenger to fall out in a crumpled heap.

Everyone's eyes but Lilly's and Blue's widened to an unhuman as they stared at the body taht Blue and I had hidden in the bag. The being looked up and Darren and its eyes as well widened at the sight of him and even though he had duct tape over his mouth you could hear the muffled

"Darren!?"

I turned to Darren seeing his reaction and just as I suspected he replied the things question with his own.

"Steve!?"

A.N. So did any of you guess that it was Steve in the suitcase the whole time because I don't know if it was obvious because no one replied to the last chapter with a guess. I will be leaving this chapter here and have a question for a new fanfiction idea that I would like to post and am just curious if anyone would be interested in it.

So the idea is like a deleted scenes of this fanfiction so you would get a behind the scenes look at what happens involving things that I don't include in this story, so examples would be Blue's Suitcase trip, Blue and I getting Steve, Lilly maybe meeting Vancha and others to come, as well as some suggestions that I would take from readers, so there would be a chance that you could also end up in that story.

You don't need to answer I was just asking to see if anyone would be interested in reading something like that.

Until next time Peace Love and Virtual Hugs. ^.^
