By: blues-lover
A/N: I'm updating FINALLY! Actually it's chiming.softly's tunr but she seems to be to busy to write her chappie so I'm taking her turn. Mainly cause I've been having nightmares where angry reviewers kill me for being late….ANyWAYZ on with the chapter!
The group of Netsaviors, scientists, and respective friends now stood in front of the hotel gawking at the sight before them. After receiving a quick message from Laika, informing them to meet them outside, they had come to find that indeed the car they had rented was hot pink. "Don't be so down boys," Yaito said, smiling smugly. "Pink is a beautiful color."
"I like it," Meiru agreed, "It's a nice change from the usual dull cars."
"Are you mad woman!" Netto yelled shaking her shoulders. "It's pink, pink is vile and evil and seeks the termination of all male society!"
Meiru gave him a fiery glare and pointed at herself, arching an eyebrow. Netto stopped his rant and looked her over noting her pink hair, pink hair clip, pink skirt, dark pink shoes, pink PET, and pink navi, who was currently fuming as well. Netto gulped and backed away holding his hands up as a shield, "Err…umm I mean yeah pink's great. I love pink."
With out another word he jumped behind Hikari-hakase for protection. With in Netto's PET Rockman stood shaking his head arms crossed. "Well the color really doesn't matter. As long as we have means of transport we shouldn't complain," Meijin said, though it was not very convincing.
"That's right!" Dekao said stepping out in front of everyone eyes ablaze and for some reason sporting a pink T-shirt in place of his usual green one. "Besides only real men wear pink!"
They all stared at him for a moment, allowing the sight of the pink car and the pink clad boy to saturate in their minds. Meiru smiled sticking her nose up in the air, "I'm glad somebody is taking this well."
She then walked over and placed her hand on Dekao's shoulder who grinned massively and sent Netto a look that clearly said, 'Haha! I win!' Netto frowned but dismissed it pretending he didn't care. "Well now that we've all witnessed the small misfortune we should probably now try to focus on sleeping arrangements," Laika said trying to change the subject.
"Oh right of course, we'll be divided into two groups, one for each room," Meijin said holding up two card keys, "To avoid any dispute lets do this in a mature and reasonable way."
Meijin then held out several straws. Everyone faulted a little but quickly recovered, "Four of you will stay with me in room 305 and three of you will stay with Hikari-hakase in 301. Each straw either has a dot on the bottom or doesn't."
Enzan was the first to take a straw, not wanting to get stuck with Yaito. The other quickly followed his example. They slowly looked at the bottom of the straws they held that would decide their fate, their destiny, there…sleeping arrangements. Dekao was the first to react on seeing his and Meiru's matched, "Yatta! I'm on a roll today!"
Netto rolled his eyes gritting his teeth slightly as he looked at his straw. Dot. He looked at Meiru's straw, no dot. He seethed for a moment and then gathered himself up trying to maintain what little composure he had. Netto didn't notice it but Meiru seemed a tad disappointed too. Laika looked at his straw, dot. Great, he thought, Just great stuck with Netto. Yaito grinned when she saw Enzan's straw, which he was currently trying to hide in his vest pocket, "Looks like were roommates!"
Enzan jumped slightly, Damn dot, he thought. Tohru was the last to be grouped and he was with Hikari-hakase. (A/N: OMG you would not believe how hard it was for me to write that part it hurt my brain to do all that math….Blues: what math? Me: Believe me there was math.)
"Alrighty then," Hikari-hakase said grabbing his key from Meijin as he went. "My group follow me."
Meiru, Dekao, and Tohru filed after him into the elegantly designed building. The other followed Meijin who only gave them a hand gesture as sign to come along. As each group went they grabbed there luggage, which they had left in the lobby, and hauled it up the stairs to their rooms, with the exception of Yaito who had once again dumped her bags on the others.
Netto plopped down on one of the beds panting from carrying Yaito's begs on top of his own. He was surprised at how soft and squishy it was. It made small gurgling sounds against his ears and a grin broke out on his face, "Water beds! Yahoo!"
He moved around clumsily on the buoyant surface, falling every now in then because of the odd unevenness of the terrain. "Netto, your enthusiasm is awe striking," Enzan said sarcastically.
"Who shoved a stick up your a-," Netto started but was cut off by a yell from Meijin in the bathroom, "Mini soaps!"
Yaito stood next to Enzan, eyes closed in her oh so snooty way, "Have some fun. It's what rich people do, seeing as your rich. Well not quite as rich as I but still wealthy."
Enzan knew that somewhere in there was a shot at his company but he didn't care. He walked over to one of the five beds and sat on it causing it to jiggle and quake, "Am I having fun yet?" He asked sarcastically.
Laika, who had been leaning on a wall in the corner spoke, "Has everyone forgotten why we are even here? This is a mission, we should be focusing on that not water beds, mini soaps, and what Enzan has up his ass."
His response was a blank stare from everyone including Meijin who had poked his head out of the bathroom to see what the commotion was about. Netto leaned over an obvious distance toward Enzan on the other bed and whispered, "Forget what's up your ass, what crawled up his?"
In the other room the other group had likewise discovered the waterbeds and was having a bit of fun sloshing around on them. Hikari-hakase (like Meijin) was currently fawning over the mini soaps in the bathroom. (A/N: MINI SOAPS!!!) "Dekao-kun this is fun," Meiru said throwing a pillow at him.
Dekao grinned it almost seemed like his dream had been realized. Tohru then threw a pillow at him and he was knocked out of lala land. Dekao grabbed the pillow and pelted it back. A large pillow fight broke out in the room and feathers were everywhere. Hikari-hakase walked out of the bathroom and into the now white room. "Umm…I'll call the front desk."
A/N: Uneventful chapter I know but I had to write something next chapter will be better I promise…..Well review if you ever want to get to the singing!
