Mismatched Sun
Chapter 7

The fantastic four managed to make their way out of the converted desert by way of a super-powered cow, they happened upon the beautiful city of Kalay, which turned out to be a pretty noisy place. Every person in the city sang every word that came out of their mouths. Sheba stood in horror as the guards at the front gate sang to them. "Welcome to Kalay, the city of music!"
The other guard: "The hills are alive-"
Sheba rushed them past the guards. "Ok, lets get going, please." Piers smiled. "I like this place!"
"I hate this place." Sheba scowled. "But isn't this your home?" Jenna asked. "Can't you see how a place like this could be traumatizing to a small child?"
"Ok, I see your point." They passed by various citizens of Kalay, listening to the beautiful music (or the horrible noise, if you want to think of it that way).
"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves!"
"It's the ciiiirclee of liiiiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeee"
"Everybody was kung fu fighting!"
"Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!"
"SHUT UP!" Sheba screamed as loud as she could. There was complete silence. They walked up to the palace. Sheba looked up to it. "You know," she said. "I'd really just like to skip this all together."
"Why?" asked Jenna.
"You thought it was bad out there? They sing opera inside."
"Ok, fair enough." As they walked away, Hama leaned out a palace window. "But wait!" she cried. "I need you!" They ignored her, looking forward to better things.
They entered the Kalay Docks, and Felix walked up to the ticket counter, looking for some sort of passage. "How much are tickets?"
"One thousand coins apiece," the ticket lady replied.
"What?! What kind of a ticket costs that much?"
"Well the only ride available right now is a black and white spotted UFO." Jenna turned. "What?!"
"You know, to resemble a cow."
"Oh, Sun, no." Jenna said, just as Sheba turned around and noticed what was going on. "Oh, lookie there! Can we ride that?"
"I'm not getting on that!" Jenna demanded.
"What, are you going to swim across?" Felix asked.
"Yes! I don't care. I will not ride that monstrosity!"
"Woo hoo hoo hoo!" Sheba jumped and danced around. "No, I won't get on!" Piers looked at her. "I don't think you've got a choice." Felix tried to drag her onto the vessel. Jenna grabbed the grass in attempt to keep herself on dry land, so Felix knocked her out. They departed on their journey across the great lake. Jenna woke up a few minutes later. "Are we there yet?" she cowered. "Just five more minutes," Felix replied.
Five minutes later. "Are we there yet?"
"Five more minutes"
"But you said that five min-" Then there was a large crash.
"No more mintues." Jenna scrambled off the hideous thing as fast as she could and lay on the grass. "Oh, sweet merciful ground." The other three walked past her to the town of Tolbi. Piers wandered over towards a food vendor. "I'm starving!" he said. He grabbed some bread and other things. The shop vendor looked at him. "Do you want fries with that?" he asked, uncaringly. "Umm…what?" asked Piers. "Do you want fried with that?!" the vendor asked forcefully. "No! You don't have to be so pushy!" Piers stomped off. Jenna and Felix were busy dealing with some Tolbi soldiers. "We're looking for Hydros, we can't find him, have you seen him?"
"Who?"
"Old guy, kinda strange looking."
"Sorry?"
"Forget it."
Sheba walked over to a large stone pool filled to the brim with dark mud. "Meh, I'm bored," she said, throwing one of the useless gold medallions they'd been finding. Flashing lights flashed and bells rang. "You're a winner!" the mud puddle spouted. "Hooray! What do I win?" Sheba bounced. "You win this fantastic, multi-featured, 3000 model mutant cow!"
"AWESOME!"
Jenna sank to her knees and had a horrible mental breakdown.
