Mysterious Happenings
(Yoko's POV)
I pressed the auto pilot button again so I wouldn't have to drive all night. I put the landing gear on too so that little Destiny Islands incident wouldn't happen again. I stretched my arms and walked over to Kairi, Zera, and Takuto. I still don't trust that guy. He was fighting with heartless dammit! I don't get how Zera can be so trusting of him.
"Hey guys," I said, sitting down next to Kairi.
"Why aren't you at the drivers seat? Wait, we aren't hurtling towards a planet with no way to save ourselves are we?" Zera said with a fake scared expression on her face. I rolled my eyes.
"No. This is going to be an overnight trip. We should be at Wonderland by 9:00 tomorrow," I told them. Kairi's stomach growled.
"Hungry?" I asked with a smirk.
"Uh…yeah," she said quietly with a smile.
"Let's go get some food then!" Zera said, hopping up. She reached over to help up Takuto, who had been silent the whole time.
"Come on," she said, grinning ear to ear. Zera ran into the kitchen with Takuto to make some food. Kairi and I followed.
"So, what do you want?" Zera asked when we entered the room. She had a spatula in one hand and still had a grin on her face.
"Well that depends Zera. What do we have?" I asked. Takuto opened the refrigerator.
"There's some microwave-able chicken in here," he said, pulling out a container.
"That'll work!" Zera said, taking the package out of his hands. Kairi and I watched in amusement while Zera tried to figure out how to open and make the chicken. After five minutes of watching her struggle, I decided to help her. I took the package from her and pulled the plastic off. I scanned the directions quickly, and popped it in the microwave for the amount of time it said.
"No fair! The plastic was evil I tell you! Evil!" Zera said, glaring at the plastic as I threw it into a wastebasket. I raised an eyebrow at her comment.
"Sure it was," I said, sitting down again.
"What do we have to drink Takuto?" Kairi asked. Takuto opened the refrigerator again.
"There's some milk, some jucie, and some soda," he said. Zera's head whipped over to stare at him.
"What kind of soda?" she asked, her eyes wide. I knew where this was going.
"Um, Pepsi…Sprite…Root beer," he said.
"Yes! Root beer!" Zera shouted. I slapped my forehead. Now she'd be even more hyper then she already was. Zera ran to the refrigerator and grabbed one of the Root Beer cans.
"Hey Yoko! Do you want one too?" she asked.
"Sure, whatever," I replied. She took another, and sat down. She put the can in front of me, opened hers, and practically inhaled the drink. Takuto sat down too and we talked until the chicken was done. We ate, and then, after a lot of random things, went to bed. Zera and I shared a room since she had let Takuto use hers. She smiled at me.
"Hope I'm not imposing myself on you," she said. I shook my head, and smiled at my friend.
"No, it's okay," I told her.
"Thanks! Hey! It's just like a sleepover," Zera announced happily. Then her face fell a bit, and I could tell what she was thinking. Before I could say anything, her smile was back in place.
"Well, let's go to bed!" she said, once again her happy self. It's kind of weird to have seen her sad like that, but I guess nobody can be happy all of the time. We each climbed into our beds after I turned the light off. Zera fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. I, on the other hand, couldn't fall asleep. Something was nagging in the back of my head. I silently got up and tip toed out the door. Zera's a heavy sleeper, so she won't know if I'm gone. I went in the direction of the kitchen. Maybe a nice, cool glass of water would help me clear my thoughts.
I passed the room Takuto was in, and saw an eerie glow coming from inside. I stopped and opened the door just wide enough for me to see what was going on inside. My eyes landed on his back and made their way over to see him writing a letter. He finished, and rolled up the paper and tied it so it wouldn't come undone. He then summoned something, I don't know what it was but it was glowing green, he whispered something to it, and then it disappeared with the letter. As I've said before, I don't trust him. And this may prove something. I heard felt someone coming up behind me.
"Yoko? Why are you by Takuto's room?" Zera asked, sleepily rubbing her eyes with the heel of her hand. I stepped away from the door.
"I couldn't sleep, and I was getting a glass of water," I said, not really answering her question.
"Okay. I'm going back to bed then," she said, retreating back to our room. I sighed, and followed her. Suddenly, I wasn't all that thirsty.
(The next day, no one's POV)
"ZERA GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP!" Yoko yelled at her friend. They had made it to Wonderland a few minutes before. And were now trying to get Zera up.
"Why? It's too early!" Zera whined. Yoko pulled her covers off the bed and Zera just curled up into a ball to heat herself by body heat. Yoko rolled her eyes and sighed in frustration.
"Fine," she said, walking out of the room. Zera had already fallen asleep again. Yoko came back in quietly with a bucket full of cold water in her hand. She crept up next to her friend's bed and………….dumped all the water on Zera. The said girl shot up, completely drenched.
"BACON!" she yelled. By now Kairi and Takuto had entered the room, after having seen Yoko carrying a bucket of water, and were giving Zera strange looks.
"What? I was having a dream and the bacon was evil!" she cried.
"Right, well now that you're up, why don't you come out with us? We're here," Yoko said with smirk.
"But I'm all wet!" Zera protested.
"That's you change into dry clothes," Yoko said, still smirking. Her friend glared at her, but went to change anyway. Yoko had already changed into basically the same clothes she had on before, but she now had a dark gray shirt that says 'Shoo fly, don't bother me' on it. She also now wore two chain necklaces.
"I'm back!" Zera shouted as she bounced into the room. She wore the same type of shirt as the day before, but now she had on a skirt that ended just before her knees in the front, and ended just at her ankles in the back. The skirt also had chains crossing each other around her hips. "So…how do you like?"
"You're wearing a skirt?" Yoko asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. So? I like the style. Especially the chains," Zera said happily as she twirled around.
"I guess it's okay," Yoko replied. She was never too big on wearing skirts.
"How 'bout you guys?" Zera asked the others.
"I like it, though I would never wear it," Kairi said.
"It looks good on you," Takuto said, smiling at her. Zera turned to walk out the door so no one would see the light blush that adorned her cheeks.
"Let's go!" she said, pumping her fist in the air. Everyone else followed her out of the gummi ship. They ended up in the Bizarre Room.
"What do we do now?" Kairi asked, looking around. "There's no other door except that small one over there."
"Exactly," Yoko said. Zera took one of the potion bottles from the table.
"Observe," she said. Then she took a small sip of it, and she began to shrink before their eyes.
"So who wants to go next?" Zera shouted from on the table.
"uh…I guess I'll go," Kairi said nervously. She cautiously took a sip from the same bottle, and she shrank.
"Wow. That feels really weird," Kairi said when she was done shrinking.
"I know, but it's awesome!" Zera said happily. Takuto drank next, and then Yoko, so that they were now all small and standing on the table. Zera jumped off the table, and Yoko got ready to.
"Come on you guys. This is the only way down," she said with a smirk before she too jumped off. Kairi closed her eyes and jumped, and Takuto followed after her, not really caring.
"To the Queen's court!" Zera shouted as she pointed to a hole in the wall. Kairi looked confused.
"Why don't we just go through the door over there. We can fit through it now," the red-head said.
"The doorknob is asleep, and we can't get through there if he doesn't open up. So we have to go this way!" Zera said. Before Kairi could question this, Yoko pointed to the snoring doorknob. Kairi's gaze followed her friend's finger to where it was pointing and said a simple 'oh'.
"Let's go," Yoko said, rolling her eyes. They walked into the court to find the Queen lazing about in her usual seat, and cards at attention and on guard. No one seemed to be on trial now.
"Should we go ask if Alice has been here, or gone home?" Takuto asked. The others shrugged in response. They walked up to the queen.
"Have you seen Alice?" Yoko asked. The queen glared at the group for talking to her so formally.
"How dare you speak to me without my permission!" she shouted. Yoko rolled her eyes, and Zera ushered the others off to the side.
"Better let her handle it," she told them.
"If I asked your permission, then I would have had to talk to you anyway. Now tell me, have you or have you not seen Alice?" Yoko asked again.
"And you're talking back to me! ME! How dare you, you little brat," the Queen snarled.
"I'm not a brat, but you're a bitch. Now answer my question," Yoko said, glaring at the pudgy woman. Her patience was wearing thin.
"WHY YOU LITTLE-"
"ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION OR ELSE, YOU STUPID SELF CENTERED BITCH!" Yoko yelled. That shut the Queen up.
"Answer me," Yoko growled, glaring at her.
"Uh…A-Alice isn't h-here. S-she went-t h-home…I-I think," the Queen stuttered. Yoko smirked in triumph.
"There. That wasn't so hard now was it?" she said. As she left for her friends, the queen's cards rushed up for her to give her comfort.
"Jeez," Takuto said, shocked at what had happened. He hadn't known she had this bad of a temper.
"Good job!" Zera said, beaming. Kairi smacked her forehead.
"Are you sure you should be encouraging her?" she asked.
"No, but it came in handy with the Queen," Zera replied.
"She pushed me, I pushed back. That's just what happens when you push me over my anger limit," Yoko said simply.
"Right. I don't think I want to be on your bad side anytime soon," Takuto said.
"Hey! Can we go in the Lotus Forest? Huh? Huh? Please!" Zera said pleadingly.
"We aren't here on a tour," Yoko said.
"But…but this is a once in a lifetime chance for us! Now we can actually visit all these places now that we're really here!" Zera said. Her friend caved in when she gave her the puppy-dog eyes.
"Fine," Yoko said. Zera squealed and ran through the entryway. "Come on. We better go find her before she gets into trouble."
"Dude! Yoko! We got company!" Zera yelled up ahead. The others ran to her. As soon as they got there, they saw heartless.
"Alright. I was just itching for a fight," Yoko said with a smirk.
"You smirk a lot, you know that?" Takuto said.
"Yeah? Your point is?" she asked.
"Nothing, nothing. I was just saying," he said, holding his hands up in front of him.
"Excuse me! I'm kind of fighting these heartless all on my own…here?" Zera said, a confused look on her face. Someone else had destroyed all the heartless, and it wasn't Kairi, Yoko, or Takuto. It was someone else. As the remains of the heartless evaporated, they clearly saw a boy with chestnut brown hair in that odd, gravity-defying do that everyone but Takuto knew.
