A/N: Hello people! I know, I know, long time no update, right? Well here you go! I thought I was gonna say something else but I forgot what, so we'll just get straight to the story!
Disclaimer: Yeah yeah yeah.
"Lil' Lisa? Lil' Lisa, where are you?!" Michael hollered.
"She's gone," said Chase, always the one to state the obvious.
"She just disappeared! A person can't just disappear, Chase!" yelled Michael.
"It's those cave monsters, I'm telling you…aah!" Michael had tackled Logan onto the ground and was now strangling him, Logan struggling and gasping for air beneath him. He was putting up a pretty good fight, but Michael was bigger than him and therefore able to hold Logan down while he continued to steal his air supply.
"Michael stop it!" Zoey shouted as she ran over to try to separate the two, but once again, Michael's muscles overpowered them both.
"Logan," he grunted, "if you say cave monsters one more time…OW! OW, OW, OW!" Michael had now let go of Logan and was rolling around on the ground in pain. At first no one understood what was going on, but once they looked at Quinn, they knew exactly what had happened.
"MICHAEL, if you ever do that again, I won't hit you with my zap watch, I'll use my ankle laser instead and believe me, you don't wanna know how much worse that one hurts!" she screamed at him, then kneeled down on the ground next to Logan to make sure he was okay.
Normally Quinn was a nice, caring person, but there were two things that just really set her off: when people called her a spaz and when they messed with her Logan. If either of those things happened, she went from a cute little teenage girl to a vicious beast that would stop at nothing to get justice.
"Now Michael, you apologize to Logan right now!" Quinn demanded after helping Logan get up. She had her zap watch pointed at Michael, ready to strike.
"Okay, okay!" he said throwing his hands up in surrender, "I'm sorry Logan, I'm just upset about Lisa."
"It's cool," said Logan, and they made up by doing that weird man hug thing that guys always do.
"Now can we please concentrate on finding Vince and Lisa and getting out of here?" Zoey asked. Everyone kind of shrugged and they continued on their way down the path in the cave. After a solid 45 minutes of hearing nothing except the sound of the bones on the ground crunching every time they took a step, Michael finally couldn't take it anymore and fell over.
"So…hungry….need…food," he whined, then cut the act and talked normally again, "Hey Chase, got any food in that backpack?"
"Um, I don't remember if I packed any or not. Here, you check," Chase said, throwing the bag to Michael.
Michael dumped all of the contents of the backpack onto the ground in order to make his quest for food easier, but he forgot his hunger once he saw one of the things that fell out of Chase's backpack. It was a bright pink baby blanket, and once he knew his friends had all spotted it, Chase's face became about as pink as the blanket as he snatched it off the ground and held it behind his back.
"Chase," Michael laughed, "you still sleep with a baby blanket? Hahahaha"
"Alright, alright, we've got bigger things to focus on right now," said Chase, not even bothering to try to make an excuse as to why he had the baby blanket. There really was no point in denying that it was his anyways after everyone had already seen it.
"Wait, wait," Logan said, "Why is it PINK? You're a guy…"
"Because when my mom was pregnant, the doctors told her she was having a girl, so she bought all of her baby stuff in pink and white and other girly colors. I guess they made a mistake or something, because obviously I'm not a girl," Chase said, trying to hide his humiliated face. They all remained quiet for a moment, but after a small snort made by Michael, they burst into a raging sea of laughter.
"Oh man, that's funny!" said Michael, then his smile quickly faded to a droopy frown, "You know who else would have thought that was funny?"
"Who's that?"
"Lil' Lisa! My poor Lil' Lisa, all alone, without me!" He started to tear up.
"Michael, are you crying?" Logan smirked. Then Michael immediately straightened up, trying to act all tough and manly.
"NO!" he defended, "I told you a million times, it's my allergies!"
"Or maybe you've just cried a million times," Logan joked.
"I'll give YOU something to cry about," he threatened, but then after seeing Quinn look at him and then point to her ankle laser, he quickly added, "Um, just kidding, buddy! Okay, so back to the food issue!"
Michael continued his search through the pile of the contents of Chase's backpack. At last he came across a small box of what he knew was food. Once again he found it hilarious, yet not surprising, that Chase would have this in his bag.
"Seriously Chase, Muffin Munch?"
"What? It's my favorite cereal!" Chase defended and grabbed the box from Michael, starting to eat the cereal himself.
"Hey! Embarrassing as it is, I was gonna eat that!" said Michael, trying to grab the box back, but Chase quickly turned away so he could have it all.
"Oh leave the poor boy alone and let him eat his Muffin Munch," Zoey laughed, "We'll find something else for you, Michael." She looked through the pile of random things lying on the ground and picked up what looked like a candy bar. "Here, have a granola bar," she said as she handed it to Michael.
"Oh well that's just dandy, isn't it? I get a healthy, disgusting granola bar while Chase is sitting over there hogging all of the delicious, sugary Muffin Munch!" Michael complained.
"You said it was embarrassing!" Chase reasoned.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I won't eat it! Quinn's cabinet full of baby food is embarrassing too, but I still ate that, didn't I?"
"Hey!" said Quinn.
"Chase, give him some Muffin Munch so he'll stop whining," Zoey instructed.
"But I want the Muffin Munch…" he argued.
"Chase…" she said warningly.
"Fine, here Michael." He handed Michael the box only after taking one last handful for himself.
"Hey, this box is empty!" Michael said as Chase hurried and shoved the last pieces he had into his mouth. "Chase, you pig!" he joked, then froze as he smelled something very familiar to him. He heard a noise coming from where Quinn and Logan were standing, which conveniently was located out of the light. It was the all too notable noise of the ruffling of a bag of potato chips.
"Lola, gimme' that flashlight!" he demanded, taking it from her before she even had a chance to respond. "FREEZE YOU TWO!" he yelled at Quinn and Logan, who actually did freeze, well kind of. Logan quickly put his hand that was holding the chips behind his back and avoided Michael's eyes, trying his hardest yet failing badly to not look suspicious.
"I can't believe you two, letting me beg for some measly Muffin Munch while you're over there scarfing down potato chips, which you know is my favorite food in the universe!"
"Dude, anything that is eatable is your favorite food in the universe!" said Logan.
"First of all, its 'edible' and second, gimme those chips!" he stole them from Logan's hand and was finally happy a few minutes later once he had eaten the entire bag.
"Mmm mm mm, those chips were tasty! Except now I'm really thirsty! You two smuggling water over there too?" he asked in Quinn and Logan's general direction, although he would have accepted water from anyone.
"Here," Logan handed him a bottle of water he had already taken the cap off of.
"Yay for water!" Michael cheered, putting his hand up in the air and causing some of the water to swish out of the bottle and onto the flashlight, which made it sizzle and then shut off completely.
"Uh oh," said Michael, "Chase, you didn't happen to have another flashlight in your backpack, did you?"
"Let me think…NO!"
"Um, well…it'll be okay, we just gotta make sure everyone's still here. Quinn, Logan, you still here?" Michael checked.
"Yeah," they replied in unison.
"Chase, you here?"
"Duh!"
"Lola, you here? And who is holding onto my shirt?"
"That's me, Michael!" said Lola.
"Oh, sorry, well I guess that's everyone…"
"No it's not!" corrected Chase, "Zoey?"
"…"
"Zoey? Zoey, now would be a good time to say 'here'."
"…"
"OH MY GOSH (A/N: I know Chase usually says oh my God but I don't like saying that, so I say gosh instead, just so you know)! ZOEY'S GONE!"
Quinn and Logan, who had not been separated once since they had gotten there, both got a horrible feeling in their stomachs as Logan pulled Quinn away from the screaming Chase.
"Quinn, did you tell Zoey the plan? Is that it, she's just going along with us now?" he asked, hoping she would say yes and that that was the only reason Zoey was gone now.
"No, I didn't tell her, I figured you did!"
"This is bad. Zoey disappearing was not supposed to happen."
"So that means…something must really be down here then!" she reasoned.
"Are you saying…?"
"No baby, I'm not suggesting that it was a 'cave monster' that took her," she answered before he had even finished his question.
"Well then what was it?"
"I don't know, that's what I can't manage to figure out."
A/N: Oh man! Now who knows what's gonna happen since the plan has gone haywire! LOL Leave me some really nice reviews and I bet I'll be able to update a lot faster! :) You know you want to!!
