Me: Hi everyone, I'm so sorry about how long this took for me to update is but here I am. Anyways here is chapter #8 here for your reading pleasure.
A Friend Like Me!
While the Andalasian Prince talked about his woes to his sister, Kairi along with her friends were still deep underground. The group was lying on the ground unconscious except for Angel and Rainbow Dash, who were both awake, tried very hard to wake their friends up.
"Kai-Kai? Kai-Kai!" The pink alien nudged the youngest redhead nervously.
"C'mon guys! Time to get up." Rainbow Dash said with much concern.
"Ugh…. Gosh, where am I?" The former Digimon Tamer finally asked while she and Renamon rose up, and went over to see if Kairi was okay too. After what felt like hours, Kairi groaned and slowly got up.
"Oh...my head. What happen?" Kairi asked aloud, "Are we okay?"
"No broken bones," Replied Rika, "But we might be staying at this place a little longer than planned."
Confused, Kairi looked up to where Rika was pointing and quickly understood. The whole bathhouse was sealed up and there were sure not any back exists either.
Mentally cursing to herself Kairi groaned again but this time in annoyance. "Great," she began, "We're trapped."
Rika frowned in agreement, "And it's all because of the two-faced Hag! IF I EVER SEE HER FACE AGAIN I'm gonna-"
"Calm yourself, Rika," Renamon wisely said while placing a paw on the girl's shoulder, "Yelling and cursing is not going to solve anything with the situation we are all in right now."
With slight reluctance, Rika grudgingly nodded.
"*Sigh* Well whoever she was, she's long gone with that Thermos." Kairi said sadly.
Angel did not look as glum though and even gave a knowing smirk right when she pulled out behind her was the Thermos!
"Meega grabbed it when Stupid-headed lady wasn't looking" The experiment explained with a smile.
Ecstatic, Kairi gave Angel a big-bear hug and exclaimed, "Angel, why you little furry thief."
Angel grinned triumphant, knowing that she did well.
"That old lady was really keen on getting this old piece of junk," Kairi said while looking at the Thermos. "I think there's something written on here, but its hard to make out."
Without warning the Thermos began to uncontrollably shake and glow. Angel, scared, ran and hide behind a rock, Rika, Rainbow Dash, and Renamon held their ground and Kairi stayed where she was because she was still holding onto the Thermos and the object uncapped itself and gray smoke came out of it.
"Aaaaaahhhhh! Darn!" yelled a voice in alarm. The person who spoke was what appeared to be an eleven-year-old girl with white hair (In a pony tail no less), glowing green eyes, and a black and white jump suit with the initials DP written on the chest area. She was also clad with white gloves and a black ghostly tail.
The 'ghost-girl' spoke again saying, "One-hundred years can give you such a crick in the neck." She gestured towards her neck to emphasize her point.
"Hold on for a sec, will ya!" She asked while she hanged Kairi on a wall like a coat on a coat rack. The ghost-girl lifted her head right off with much ease and spun it around to get rid of the pain while yelling. While that was happening, Rika, riding on Rainbow Dash, flew up and carried Kairi back on the ground.
"Okay then." The ghost-girl said as she used her own tail as a microphone, "Hey ladies and animals, good to be back!"
She held the mike in front of Kairi, "So where are you from? Who're you?"
Hesitating Kairi soon answered, "Uh... K-Kairi."
"Great then, Kairi" The ghost-girl exclaimed happily as a neon sign appears and lights up showing the name 'Kairi' circled by chase lights.
"Great to have you on the show. Are right if we call you 'Kai' or 'Iri'?" The ghost-girl suggested while the board also changed with the name suggestions. Then she turned herself into a Super Saiyan who said, "Or maybe just 'Dragon Ball Z KAI' (1)!"
The ghost-girl made some karate poses while trying to look impressive. Kairi and her friends on the other hand had really freaked out looks on their faces, thinking it was some crazy dream or something.
While rubbing her head Kairi said, "I must've hit my head harder than I thought."
"You and me both." Rika added while gapping at the ghost-girl.
"That makes three of us." Renamon said with much awe in her voice as well.
"Do you smoke? Don't mind if I do!" The ghost-girl/Saiyan asked before she exploded into smoke changing back into her normal form and laughed at the joke she said. The surprised smoke screen ended up freaking out Angel who ran on to Kairi's shoulder with fright.
"Jeez sorry didn't mean to scare your…is that a-" The ghost-girl was interrupted by Rainbow Dash.
"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you. I had the pleasure of asking that earlier and let's just say that didn't go so well."
"Wow Rainbow Dash, it's been way too long I haven't seen you in a couple of decades," The ghost-girl said welcoming the blue Pegasus like an old friend, "Come on give me some hoof or wing, alright."
The feeling was obviously mutual as Rainbow Dash flew over and high-five'd (hooved) the ghost-girl.
Looking over at Kairi, the ghost-girl looked puzzled and said, "You look a lot bigger than the last master I had," she walked up to the redhead for comparisons of height and added, "Look at me, do I look any smaller or at least gotten any taller."
"Wait, I'm your master?" Kairi asked with a surprised look on her face.
"You're right, and you've been taught," The ghost-girl said eagerly while handing a diploma to Kairi and put a mortarboard right on her head.
"So what do you want from...?" The ghost-girl began while she transformed into a female Arnold Schwarzenegger look-a-like, (AN: Eww : P) "The ever impressive..."
She then morphed herself trapped in a cube and said, "The long contained..."
After that the ghost-girl turned into a ventriloquist with the dummy and mumbled, "Often imitated..."
Throwing the doll aside as she added, "But never duplicated..." The ghost-girl then made copies of herself who surround that soon surrounded her and repeated, "Duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated..."
"Danielle "Dani" Phantom of the Thermos!" She said finally introducing herself to the gang.
Transforming into Ed Sullivan and spoke as the copies cheered for her, " Thank you! Direct from the Thermos, right here for your great wish fulfillment."
"Wait a sec, 'wish fulfillment'?" Kairi quoted with much interest.
"Three wishes to be more exact!" Dani said holding up three fingers, "But don't try to wish for more wishes!"
To get her point straight Dani turned into a slot machine, pulling the arm down before appearing in the window saying in Spanish, "Uno, dos, tres."
"No replacements, exchanges or refunds." Dani said while she passed by the girls impersonating Groucho Marx now and turned into a duck tied to a rope holding a card saying 'refunds'.
Uncertain by this, believing it to be all some wild hallucination Kairi said, "Okay now I know I'm dreaming."
"Well, master, I don't think you realize what you've got here." Dani said while gesturing the girls to sit down on the ground, "Now how about you sit there while I illuminate the possibilities."
Dani: Darth Vader had the 40(billion) clones!
With some magic, the 40(billion) clones appeared and surrounded the gang, much to their nervousness
Dani: And Stephen King had a thousand tales!
Dani then appeared in Kairi's shirt and reassuringly sang.
Dani: But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeve
You got a brand of magic never fails!
Using her arm, Dani scared away the clones by threatening to punch 'em. Now Kairi was in a boxing ring corner massaged by the ghost-girl, while also being fanned by Angel.
Dani: You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your pack!
Dani then turned into a large pile of fireworks and lit them up to fly/explode everywhere.
Dani: You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo,
See all you gotta do is rub that thermos,
As Dani flew back into the Thermos she, grabbed Kairi's hand and rubbed it onto the Thermos with it. Dani came out of the Thermos and dramatically sang.
And I'll say
Mistress Kairi, Miss
What will your pleasure be?
The gang was now at a table where Dani was dressed as a French waiter and prepared to take any orders.
Dani: Let me take your order, jot it down
You ain't never had friend like me.
No no no!
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre' d!
Dani gave the girls a roasted chicken. Before anyone could eat it though Dani's head replace the chicken. She the turned back to normal, except she enlarged one of her ears.
Dani: C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had friend like me.
A barbershop appeared as Dani stared grooming Kairi.
Dani: Yes mam we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the Queen, the shah!
Kairi was transported onto a comfy chair surrounded by a lot of gold, and Angel and Renamon fanned Kairi and Rika hold some grapes out but look very ticked off at being a servant.
Dani: Say what you wish, it's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?
Using a ghost portal, Dani summoned a pile-load of baklava right on the gang, covering them up in it. Kairi was then the top of a giant letter 'A' above a ton of gold that was piling up.
Dani: Try some of column 'A'
The redhead was then pushed off of the 'A' column and landing on another that has a 'B' on it but with a huge pile of fruit instead.
Dani: Try all of column 'B'
Falling off again, Kairi was saved when a pillow held by Dani cushioned her fall.
Dani: I'm in the mood you bet, to help you dudette!
Dani's mouth (literally) opened up and her tongue molded into staircase. And a miniature Dani came out from it dressed in a white tuxedo.
Dani: You ain't never had friend like me!
As the ghost-girl was doing a dance with two big giant gloved hands making some noises and eventually started dancing with her. The big hands surround Dani and squish her into nothing.
Dani: Can your friends do this?
Taking her head off, Dani and making more copies of it and spun them around.
Dani: Can you friends do that?
Tossing the heads over to Kairi who juggled the heads with a smug look on her face. Like a basketball, Kairi tossed the heads back to Dani. Dani was now pulling a white rabbit named Alec Azam out of a hat.
Dani: Do your friends pull this?
Out of Presto's Hat!
Dani transformed into a Night Fury dragon.
Dani: Can your friends go poof!
The dragon spited out blue fire which then turn into some hot guys dancing around the girls with Rika even trying to flirt with one of them.
Dani: Well looky here
Can your friends go Abracadabra, let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?
After what felt like only a couple of seconds, the hot guy soon disappeared into smoke Humoring Kairi, Dani imitated the redhead a bit, dropped jaws and eyes popping out.
Dani: So don't you sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
The ghost-girl shrunk and dived off of Kairi's hands acting as if it were a diving board.
Dani: You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for a charge'd affairs!
Transformed into a contact, Dani rolled up the bewildered Kairi then unwrapping herself causing the 14-year-old yelp in alarm while spinning out of control until Dani stopped her.
Dani: I've got a powerful urge to help you out
So what you wish we really want to know!
You got a wish that's three miles long, no doubt
So all you gotta do is rub like so, and oh!
Dani magically pulled out a long list of what Kairi might want and then played around with it like with was a ribbon.
Dani: Mistress Kairi, please have a wish or two or three
A couple of servants bow down to Kairi and her friends before disappearing. A hot guy appeared and laughed, flirting with Rika who then leaned up to kiss him. But the boy turned into Dani, causing the ex-Digimon Tamer to look disgusted at what just happened.
Dani: I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had friend, never had friend
Four elephants appeared and danced around, courtesy of the ghost-girl.
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
And four dancing camels appeared. Soon a big finale began.
Dani: You ain't ever... had a...friend... like... Me!
The whole room was now lit up with a Broadway-like production going on. Rainbow Dash was dancing with Rika and Renamon, while Kairi was tossed up into air by the elephants. Angel was grabbing various slices of cakes and other treats while Dani came to a close to her song.
Dani: You ain't never had friend like me.
Spinning around like a twister, Dani sucked up all of the magic that she brought up and in an instant, everything was back to normal. A neon light appears saying 'applause' above Dani while Rainbow Dash applauded.
"Great job! Whoo Hoo! Better than the last one!" The Pegasus exclaimed.
Angel looked around and sadly noticed all the food she snagged was gone and grumbled in disappointment.
After finally recovering from the song Kairi asked, "Let me get this straight. You are a ghost-genie and you're going to grant me any three wishes I want, right?"
Impersonating Julie Andrews the ghost-genie said, "Actually, Mistress, there are a provisos and rules that must be accounted for."
"Like~" Rika asked purposely dragging out the word 'like'.
"Well Rule #1," Dani began saying it loudly, "I can't kill anybody." She cut off her head which landed in Kairi's lap, "So please don't ask."
"Rule #2 I cannot make nobody fall in love with anybody else." Dani added while dressed up as Cupid and trying to shot an arrow but it landed somewhere that caused a cat to scream in pain. Sheepishly the ghost-girl threw the bow and arrow aside, not wanting to be the seen as the culprit.
"Rule #3!" Dani lied down and lifted herself and turned into the Corpse Bride, Emily saying with a raspy voice, "I...Can't Bring anyone back from the dead! It's not a good-looking picture. I don't like doing it!" She ended while shaking Kairi's shoulders to get her point straight.
Dani transformed herself back to normal and said, "Besides those three and the 'more wishes' rule, you're pretty much set."
Kairi was thinking this over, "Three wishes are very tempting right now but I can't waste any if my friends and I want to get outta here. Unless…"
With a mischievous idea in her head Kairi commented, "Provisos, like limitations on wishes?"
Getting the idea too Rika said, "Some genie, she can't even raise the dead."
With a slight smirk Renamon said, "I also might add that she might not even be powerful enough to even attempt getting us out of this place."
Dani was looking very insulted by these words and had the last straw when Kairi said, "Well girls, I guess we have to find another way out of here, by our selves."
When the gang pretended to start leaving a big white boot stopped them form walking some more there and then. The owner of the boot, Dani did not very pleased at all and sarcastically asked them,
"Excuse me, did you wake me up? Did you rub on the Thermos and bring me here to expect you to just walk out on me," while she was ranting Dani did not notice Kairi or her friends smirk at each other knowing that their plan was working.
"No, way!" The ghost-girl roared angrily as she stomped over to them. "You're getting your three wishes SO SIT DOWN!"
With some magic Dani poof'ed everyone onto Rainbow Dash and acting like a stewardess as she said, "In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere!" The ghost-girl made a lot of hands come out of her body to point at those specific places.
"Please keep your arms and whatever inside the little pony at all times, 'casue we are outta here!"
Using some magic again, Dani made Rainbow Dash fly so fast that the pony did a Sonic Rainboom (2) and flying right of the Bath House of Wonders and leaving it for good.
XXXX (Author's Note) XXXX
Me: well that wasn't so hard to write, at least I got it done just in time for Mother's Day, which is who I dedicated this chapter to 'cause no one knows me better then her. :)
(1)- That is a reference to that Nicktoons Network animé redone of the show Dragon Ball Z Kai which I thought made more sense then the "Laddie" thing from the original movie.
(2)- Sonic Rainboom also happens to be the name of one of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magicepisodes, if anyone hasn't seen the show yet SEE IT!
The animation in it rocks and surprisingly isn't like the cliché kid shows either.
Dani: we all had a lot of fun doing this chapter so pretty please Read and Review for Q-A sake because she should be actually doing schoolwork instead o-
Me: (Shoving the ghost-girl away) TOO MUCH INFORMATION! Forget that last thing people and do R & R. Have a good Mother's Day! P.S. if anyone's interested in what was on the Thermos let's say it "Fenton Works" for all you Danny Phantom fan out their.
Keep on Writin' and Rockin'
