WARNING: The following chapter is so short it may cause your brain to explode with frustration!
Sorry that it's REDICULOUSLY SHORT, but I was currently distracted with my own little project. *devious face* Oh yeah, and that torture to human beings that haven't reached adolescence yet, labelled by society as "School". Anyway, enjoy this ridiculously short chapter!
As it turns out, Georgia actually did know where she was going. Well, that was a relief.
Unfortunately for the group of kids, it took them TWO FREAKING HOURS TO ACTUALLY GET OUT.
"Thank you for choosing Ain Transport for all your travel needs," Georgia said in a mock business-woman voice, "We hope you enjoyed your trip."
And with that, Georgia opened up a hatch at the end of a tunnel, and blinding light poured through. It seemed as though the storm had passed.
"YEEEEAAAH!" Frank and Len whooped as they shot out, "FREEDOM!"
Then they realised they were standing on air.
...
"Ah, cra—"
WHAM.
The double headed guitarist had plummeted nine feet down onto grassy earth.
"That's what you get for rushing ahead," Skull Boy whispered to Ruby with a humorous grin.
"Are you guys alright?" Ruby called down to Frank and Len.
"We're fine Ruby!" Frank called back up in a voice that clearly sounded the exact opposite of fine.
"You don't sound fine," Elinor said, poking her head through the hole.
"Come on, chums!" Georgia urged, "Let's get goin' before they spot us again!"
One by one, Georgia, Elinor, Skull Boy and Ruby hopped down from the air vent tunnel and onto solid ground. After a few moments, Skull Boy frowned.
"Uh, guys?" he said, catching their attention, "How're we going to get back home?"
'Oh,' thought Elinor, 'Didn't think of that.'
You're an animal, Elinor; How do animals find their way home?
'Heeey voice! Where you been?'
Just answer the question.
'... Fine. Well, I guess animals smell around?'
"THEY SMELL AROUND!"
Elinor stopped herself from punching Georgia for scaring the living bageesus out of her. Again.
"Come again?" Ruby asked the crazy girl.
"Weeeell," Georgia started, "Skull Boy asked, 'How're we gonna get back home?'"- Georgia made a bad impression of the skeletal child's voice, making him scowl – "So, I thought; how do animals get back home? Well, they—"
"Smell around; yeah we get it, hypocrite."
"Wow." Frank said, staring at Elinor in disbelief.
"Woooow." Len added, staring at her too.
"What?" Elinor asked them.
"I've never seen someone... hate someone else so much before," Frank answered.
"Hey," Ruby said, "'Hate's a pretty strong word, you guys. Let's just say that she 'immensely dislikes' Georgia."
"Once we're done discussing Elinor's private widdle feelings," Georgia interrupted the conversation, "Can we get a move on to finding your guys' home?"
"Aw, hell no!" Elinor burst, "There is no freaking way I am letting you near their mansion!" she marched right up to Georgia and glared her in the face.
Georgia raised her hands up in a surrendering fashion, raised her eye brows and smirked.
"Now, now, Ellie, there's no need to—"
"AND STOP CALLING ME THAT STUPID NAME!" Elinor full out shouted, "Yeah, you saved us from the weird monster-hunters, and I'm kinda grateful for that, but PLEASE! Just LEAVE US ALONE NOW!"
...
It was awkward, to say the least. Elinor managed to 'scare' Georgia away, get the scent of the mansion from Ruby, and the group of five were now making their way home. The only problem was, there were now several questions dug up about the 'Ain' that desperately needed answers to. Like, 'Why do you immensely dislike Georgia so much?', or, 'Hey, here's a question; how'd Georgia know that you were captured?'
Really, it was almost silly.
AGH. DISCLAIMERS. GAH.
Ruby Gloom and all participating Characters and locations DO NOT BELONG TO ME-AH.
But Elinor an' Georgia do, YAY!
R&R!
