Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Lost

Lost in a maze. Basil had always found the easiest maze to go through was one he could see from above: a maze made of hay from which he could see the whole thing from atop a haystack.

Lee could have done better going through a maze, especially with Biffy's help. This just caused Basil to wonder what both of them were up to. He never would have guessed that Lee was helping the Outcasts, Jenny Jerkins of all people whom Basil hated as much as Brad Von Chilstein. Or that Biffy had created a gadget to stop the cell phone interference from the detention room.

He actually found himself wishing that there were more people here. It seemed like there was just him and Venus. He didn't care who just someone would be nice!

Naturally, this would have been the spot where the universe would have thrown someone Basil did not want but not this time. Basil was still lost. So was Venus. And now Basil wished he had asked for her cell number.

And then he came to a fork in the path he had taken. This was just great.

There were two paths. He was right handed so he'd take the right path! And then a freakish thing came out of the floor screaming like a harpy! It was animatronic, of course but it was pretty much the way not to go.

Then Basil found Venus. After going down the left path he had found another fork and thought going down the left path would be the way out of the maze.

She was sitting down. Considering how tired Basil was of this maze he felt like sitting down too.

"Hey." Basil sat down next to Venus. "Something the matter?"

"No, of course not! It's not like you could have hurt me. The first time I feel any real attraction to a guy and I learn that he has a girlfriend after he kisses me. A girlfriend I look like."

"Yeah, well you both like to tease me and you're both cheerleaders…" Basil didn't feel like cracking a joke. Not that he ever had a good joke to tell. "Her name is Cherie Burlyn. She isn't famous or related to anyone famous. I adore her with my affection. To gloss the worlds of Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan, I could adore you with my brainpower."

"What does that even mean?"

"I have no idea."
