The Bladebreakers Go Camping
Chapter Two: The Wheels on the Bus Go 'Round and 'Round...
Kai gathered the whole team in the living room to tell them the bad news- I mean good news. It was bad news for Kai since he didn't particularly want to go. But before he could utter a syllable, Tyson asked the question on everyone's minds, not knowing that Kai was just about to answer it.
"Hey, Kai, what's up," Tyson piped up, "Why'd ya call us here?"
"That's what I am going to tell you, if you'd let me speak," the blue-haired captain shot Tyson one of his infamous death glares, making him shrink back and gulp.
"Basically, I called you all here to tell you Mr Dickenson has decided that we should go camping," Kai closed his eyes and resumed his normal posture- his arms crossed, head slightly down, and eyes closed. He waited for the commotion to start, preparing for the talking and excited voices that would soon fill the room.
And sure enough, that's what happened. A few "cools" and "awesomes" could be heard flying from the mouths' of Tyson and Max, while Rei and Kenny just sat there with big, stupid grins on their faces. But Dizzi's comment said what they were all thinking...
"Finally, a vacation."
-The Next Morning-
Everyone was ready except for, guess who? Yep, you got it, Tyson. As usual, he was dreaming about linguine and tortillas and ice cream- foods from all around the world.
Luckily, Mr Dickenson had already packed for the Bladebreakers since he knew what Tyson was like on mornings. Sometimes they think that Tyson actually wants Kai to beat him up. As soon as he realized that Tyson was still sleeping, Kai came fuming in. He launched his blade and called out Dranzer.
"Dranzer," he called to the majestic phoenix, "burn his lazy ass!"
Following this, Tyson's usual screams filled the house, loud enough to wake even the deepest sleeper. Fortunately, everyone, including Tyson's grandfather, Mr. Granger, was already awake.
About a half-hour later Tyson waddled out to meet everyone, fully awake and sporting a red derriere, which he acquired from his "little accident," as Kai suggested it be called, with Dranzer earlier that morning.
As Mr Dickenson had promised, a white bus with "BBA" printed on the side in big blue letters was waiting on the road outside the house. The driver was a friendly man with brown hair, wearing purple shades. If he took them off, you'd see sparkling blue eyes and Japanese features.
"Hop in, guys," the driver, Jack said, "there are some snacks and food hidden in the back somewhere." He started up the engine, "It's a long trip so you'd best get comfortable."
Soon all of the Bladebreakers were safely seated. Kai was sitting in the back, ready to ignore the rest of the team. Kenny was sitting next to Rei in the middle, and Tyson and Max sat together in the front.
After an hour had passed, they were all bored out of their minds- excluding Kai, of course. He was smart enough to know to pack some entertainment, and organized enough to know where his I-pod and charger were. Meanwhile, the rest of the team was bored, not to mention hungry- Tyson had eaten all the food.
Speaking of Tyson, he had fallen asleep, his head resting on Max. The blonde-haired blader, who didn't realize that Tyson was drooling on his shirt, was looking out the window.
They passed cows, sheep, and trees; dots which looked like houses, rivers, more trees...a lake and (gasps) more trees!
Max sighed, then turned around to find his face full of blue-black hair. He pushed Tyson aside, feeling his shirt in the process- it was damp and sticky. He thought for a minute, then as soon as he realized what it was...
"EWWWWW!!! TYSON THAT'S SO GROSS! GET OFF! TYSON STOP SLOBBERING ON ME!!! GROOOOOOOOSS!!!!!!"
Rei and Kenny snapped out of their bored doze, and focused all their attention on their blonde-haired friend, finding him standing up with what looked like water oozing down his front. Rei realised what Max was saying and burst into hysterical laughter, drawing Kai's attention. Curious to what was going on, he pulled off his headphones.
"TYSON THAT'S DISGUTING! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!! LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL SHIRT!!! ACK! MY SHIRT'S COVERED IN TYSON GOO!!! AHHHHH!!!!"
Kai let a small chuckle escape him, seeing the usually cheerful Max glaring at his supposed best friend. Kai shook his head, and then put his headphones back on, turning up the volume a little to drown out the cursing and yelling of the very-grossed-out boy.
Ironically, the bus went over a bump the exact instant Max finished his rant, jerking Tyson awake. Max just stared at him, incredulous; he couldn't believe that Tyson had slept through all his yelling. So...he started all over again. ( ; )
After Max finished his second rant, Tyson's only reaction was to wave his hand dismissively and say, "Chill out dude, I'll make it up to ya...."
Max's face coloured as red as a tomato with rage at Tyson's inappropriately nonchalant reply, but he was pacified when Tyson handed him a candy bar he saved (Whoa! Tyson actually saved some food instead of gobbling it down like a starved rat! 0.o) for later as a gesture of peace. Everything calmed down as Max savoured the taste of the sweet chocolate melting in his mouth.
"Guys," Jack called, "we're almost there." He grinned at them in the mirror, "Just five more minutes, and we'll be there... Unless, of course, the bus breaks down and then we would have to walk, plus tow the bus all the way to the cabin and...oh look! We're here. Welcome to Sweet Tranquillity guys..."
