A/N: Hehe. Round two! Thanks for all the reviews guys. Keep them coming! :)

Stereotypical Error

Pit stop

"Right everyone, listen up." Miss Carson stood at the front of the bus, hands on hips. "We're stopping for half an hour only, got it?" She glared to emphasise her point, then smirked. "So be back on this bus by one o'clock."

Mr Kidd stood up as the red head departed the bus and turned to face the students, arms wide. He grinned and voiced a phrase, before following her. "Go nuts."

"Dude!" Hoagie cried, hands above his head in mock surrender. "This bus trip is taking forever!"

Abby smiled as Hoagie caught her hand in his. "And it's gotten to the point of way past boring. Abby's fed up of that stupid coach."

"You're telling me." Fanny shook her red bangs out of her eyes. "It's far too cramped and crowded."

Nigel smirked at the red-head. "Says the girl who was getting cosy with the bad boy."

Hoagie and Abby chuckled discreetly as the girl's cheeks turned pink. She glared at the pale-skinned boy. "I was not getting cosy with Patton Drilovsky! We were talking about football, thank you very much and anyway, you can't talk! I seen the way you were ogling that Rachel girl!"

Hoagie and Abby's chuckle's became less discreet at the British boy's face went red. "I was not ogling her."

"Could've fooled me."

Hoagie and Abby's laughter danced around the arguing pair as they watched Nigel lose the argument. As far as they'd seen, Fanny had always won every argument she was drawn into.

"Kuki! Calm down!" The foursome turned to see the petit Japanese girl bounce up and down rapidly and the blonde girl attempting to hush her, a little distance away. "We just need to ask someone where they are."

"Okay, Rachel but hurry! I'm going to end up wetting myself, if you don't."

Fanny watched as Kuki began to hop from one foot to the other, as her friend looked around helplessly, and smirked deviously, eyes turning towards the British boy next to her. "Hey Nigel." The boy looked at her quizzically. Her grin grew diabolical as she pushed him forward. "Go play hero."

Abby watched the boy stumble forward and grinned. "Oh, Fanny. Your evil."

Her boyfriend laughed. "Who'd have thought it'd be you to play matchmaker."

"What can I say, Hoagie?" The red-head pulled a dramatic pose and let out a melodramatic sigh, as the couple laughed. "I have many hidden talents."

Abby rolled her eyes, "Sure… Now, who's up for getting some munchies before going back on that god forsaken bus?"

"Me! Oh, me! Me, me, me! Pick me!" Hoagie waved his hand frantically as Abby hit him, half-heartedly, with her hat.

The trio laughed and headed towards the shops.

Kuki's personality was usually bouncy and upbeat but even to her, this was a bit too literal.

"Rachel!"

The blonde watched helplessly as the pale girl bounced around her. "I don't know where the toilet's are, Kuki! Your going to have to pee behind that bush or something."

Kuki's shriek went up a few notches in decibels. "I am not doing that!"

"Umm… need help?"

Rachel turned to see the boy Kuki had sat next to on the bus and smiled gratefully. "Yeah. Any idea where the toilet's are?"

Kuki bounced in front of the boy. "Please, tell me you know! Please, please, please!"

Nigel took a step back and chuckled nervously, "Eh…they're over there."

"Thank you!" The green clad girl shot off in the direction he was pointing in.

Rachel shook her head, blonde lock falling around her face, and laughed. "Thanks for that."

"No problem." Nigel smiled at the blonde. "Umm… you don't happen to want to…"

Rachel grinned. "We've only got 10 minutes until we're meant to be back at the bus. Walk me?"

The boy looked up and grinned, watching both their cheeks turn pink. "Any time."

"Good answer."

The pair chuckled and began to head towards the bus, chatting casually.

"Wally! We've only got 5 minutes until we're meant to be back on the bus."

"Ah know, but ah need to go."

"Do you really want Miss Carson nagging you any more than she already is?"

"Not particularly."

"Exactly. Now-"

"Now you go chat up that red-head you were so interested in. Ah'm off to pee."

The tall blonde turned and stalked off before his orange hat-ed companion could protest. He grinned as, out of the corner of his eye, he seen Patton saunter over to the red-head, who was making her way towards the bus. He laughed quietly to himself.

Idiot.

Abby leaned against Hoagie happily and giggled as Nigel walked up the aisle of the bus, chattering to, as her red-headed friend had put it, 'that Rachel girl'.

Nigel smirked as he walk past Fanny who was half-heartedly arguing with the orange hat wearing Patton.

Rachel paused and looked around the group of teenagers, noticing the empty seat. "Where's Kuki?"

Abby, Hoagie, Nigel, Patton and Fanny all turned towards her and the empty seat.

"That…" began Hoagie, his eyebrows furrowing. "Is a very good question…"

"Diana. Your going to get wrinkles if you keep frowning like that."

"Very funny, Gordon." Miss Carson smiled at the green-eyed man next to her.

Mr Kidd smiled back. "Who's late this time then?"

"Beetles-"

Gordon chuckled. "Expected."

"- and Sanban."

"Kuki?" The shock was evident in his tone and Diana giggled.

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Huh." Gordon shrugged. "Who'd have thought."

Kuki walked out of the building onto the pavement and glanced around, pouting. She was lost. The girl pushed black bangs out of her eyes and scanned the car park attempting to locate the bus she was travelling on. Where was Rachel when she needed her?

"Hey, toots."

Kuki turned cautiously, noting that a small group of older boys were heading in her direction.

One lad stepped forward, a twisted smile on his face, "You lost?"

Kuki's throat suddenly went dry.

Wally rubbed his eyes gingerly as he exited the building that occupied the instrument he had just went to relieve himself from. He was tired. Tired of the stupid bus and the stupid rules and the stupid teachers and this stupid trip and he had only been away from home for…

He checked his watch and let out a irritated sigh.

2 hours, 19 minutes and 37 seconds.

The blonde kicked the dirt up from the ground roughly and groaned, realizing he was nearly 5 minutes late. He really didn't need any more trouble from anyone, yet trouble seemed obsessed with him.

The orange-clad boy stopped at the edge of the car park and stood, hands in jean pockets. "Now where the crud is this bus?" Green eyes scanned the car park impassively. "Ah'm sure it was- Whoa!"

The boy blinked as he stumbled backwards in attempt to regain his balance, catching the green blur that had ran into him, in his arms. Looking down his green eyes met lilac-blue eyes. His eyebrows furrowed in recognition.

"Y-your that sheila that was at the back of the bus."

Kuki smiled meekly, a faint blush on her cheeks, from the crook of his arms. "Yeah." The girl let some of her black hair slide across her face. "Sorry for running into you but thanks."

Wally helped her stand up on her own two feet. "No problem, uh-"

The green-clad girl smiled brightly. "Kuki."

He let his arms fall back to his sides and grinned. "Kuki. Well, ah'm Wally."

"Hi, Wally."

Kuki giggled and he felt himself laugh. "Anyway, why were you running like that?"

Her expression became wary. "Uh, well…"

"Hey, you!" Both teens turned to see a gang of boys advancing on them, eyeing Kuki. "Why are you running from us, girly? We only want to talk."

Kuki whimpered, eyes wide and swiftly ran behind Wally. "Help."

Wally felt himself take a protective stance in front of the girl, almost automatically, fists clenched at his sides, as the boys stopped in front of him. He now knew what Kuki had been smart enough to run from. "What the crud do you want?"

The leader of the small gang stopped, a lanky brown haired boy, cautious of the blonde boy in front of him. "We just want to talk to our little friend ove-"

"She's not going anywhere with you."

The lanky boy flinched at the hostility in the Australian's voice, but recovered quickly. "Look we just-"

"No." Wally took a step forward threateningly. "Get the crud out of here and leave her alone."

A smaller boy from behind the lanky leader, stepped forward and placed a hand on the lanky boy's shoulder. "Come on, Ross. Just leave the kid and his girlfriend be."

Wally felt himself blush at the smaller boy's comment and took another step forward. "Well? What are you still doing here? Get lost!"

He felt himself grin inwardly as he watched the gang leave muttering between themselves. He relaxed and turned around, looking at the green-clad girl concerned. "Are you okay?"

Kuki smiled and jumped in the air happily and threw her arms around the blonde's neck, hugging him happily. "Wally! You saved me!"

The boy's eyes widened and he quickly removed himself from the hug, blushing. He turned away folding his arms across his chest and muttered, gruffly. "Whatever."

Kuki cocked her head to one side and looked at the retreating gang, before turning to the boy uncertainly. "Wally?"

The orange-clad boy turned and looked at the green-clad girl, impatiently. "Yeah?"

"Did that seem really familiar or is it just me?"

Shock filtered across the boy's face. "Uh…"

"You too, huh?" The girl nodded to herself and began walking into the car park. "Come on, the bus is over there."

Wally stared at the girl for a few seconds, before shaking his head and following her, unaware of the slight smile upon his face.

It was 10 minutes past one o'clock. The majority of the students that occupied the bus were beginning to get reckless, unaware of why they hadn't began to continue there journey to their destination.

"This isn't funny. Where is Kuki?"

"Woah. Rachel calm down. Abby's sure that she's fine. Probably just lost."

Rachel smiled softly. "Sounds like Kuki anyway."

"Don't worry Rachel." Hoagie grabbed the blonde's shoulder and sat her down. "It's not like we'll leave without her."

"Yeah." Fanny smiled at the blonde.

Nigel nodded to Patton who was walking back up the aisle of the bus. "Where have you been?"

"To look for Wally." Patton shrugged and sat down. "The idiot isn't on the bus yet and Diana's fuming." He laughed. "He's dead."

Rachel smirked deviously. "Wally's missing too?"

The Japanese glanced at the Australian, shyly. "Hey, Wally." The blonde looked towards her curiously. "Thanks for-"

"It was nothing." The boy looked away from her as they both walked forward, towards the steps of bus. "It's not you fault you're a pretty little sheila."

The green clad girl stopped in front of the steps. "You think I'm pre-"

The orange clad boy grabbed her shoulders and pushed her up the steps of the bus. "Get on the cruddy bus."

"Where are they?" Diana Carson was easily irritated.

"Diana. It's only been ten minutes."

"Not the point, Gordon."

"Well we can rule out a kidnapping and a mass murder." Gordon Kidd was happily munching on a banana.

Diana looked at him flatly. "What?"

"Well." Gordon took a bite of his banana. "If there had been a kidnapping, we would have had a ransom note by now." Another bite. "And if there had been a mass murder, we would all be dead."

The false red head allowed a small smirk to show. "You're an idiot."

Gordon grinned and chucked his banana peel into the plastic rubbish bag. "You love it."

"But seriously, where are they? They can't be-"

"Don't say it."

"But they could!"

"That would be a stereotypical clash of the greatest proportions and you know it. Kuki Sanban and Wallabee Beetles have never spoken one word to each other throughout their high school years… so far, anyway. Plus, their personalities are completely different!"

"Yeah, I know but-"

"It would be a stereotypical error if they happened to be dating, Diana."

"…Do me a favour?" Gordon looked at Diana questionably. "Don't ever try to act serious and professional again. That's my job."

Gordon laughed.

"Get on the cruddy bus."

Gordon and Diana looked to the entrance of the bus, recognising one of the culprits voice.

"Jeez. Fine." A green-clad girl huffily pulled herself onto the bus. "No need to be so pushy."

Followed by the orange-clad boy pulling himself up after her. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"You are so crude!" Kuki stormed off up the aisle of the bus, leaving a smirking Wally in her wake.

Miss Carson watched the girl stalk up the aisle muttering to herself before turning to glare at the boy. "Where have you been?"

Wally looked her dead in the eye, easily. "Around." He sat down in his seat at the front, hastily. "Are we leaving yet?"

Diana looked from the orange-clad boy to Gordon, who shrugged and sat down in his seat. She shook her head slightly and nodded to the bus-driver and smiled slightly as the purr of the engine came to life.
