I have no idea where this chapter will go…so read on!
Chapter 3
What the fudge…Halt thought to himself as he walked into his cabin. It was raining…something. Something brown. Something bean-shaped. Something that clattered and clacked to the floor. Something that hit him in the eye. Hard. Something very, very hard. And it made him very, very mad. No coffee, former apprentices overly cheery, and now this? What could be worse on this beautiful, sunny spring morning? Halt exhaled slowly, and counted to ten. One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine… ten, he thought. Focusing his energy to calm himself down, he heard every little sound. Unfortunately for Will and Gilan, he heard them. Halt's head jerked up towards the rafters. Which is where he saw Gilan balancing on his toes and Will swinging upside down. Each guilty Ranger was holding a sack of coffee beans, grinning deviously in Gil's case and red-faced in Will's case. Will gave a little wave.
"How ya doing, Halt? Long time no see," Will said conversationally, as if hanging upside down from the rafters was something he did every day.
"Yeah!" agreed Gilan, blinking innocently. "Long time no see!" Halt sighed and Gil took this as a cue to throw more beans on him. Will joined in singing, "We praise the coffee lord! The coffee lord, the coffee lord. We praise the coffee lord who drinks coffee all day long! Yeah!" Gil was laughing by now, and joined in the repeating little song that Will had thought of off the top of his head. I have no idea where that came from, Will thought to himself. But it worked. Halt had a blank stare on his face as more coffee showered down around him and the little song played in the background. Halt slowly walked over to the wall and started banging his head against it.
"Better not do that," Gilan warned.
"Yeah, you might lose brain cells," Will chimed in. "Malcolm taught me all about it!" he nodded smartly. Halt continued to bang his head. They poured the rest of the coffee beans over Halt and continued to praise him, the ultimate coffee lord.
"We bow in front of you,
We praise you,
We worship you,
As you are the Ultimate Coffee Lord."
They chanted and Halt finally stopped banging his head. He looked tired, older than ever while this was going on. God help me, he thought.
Crack!
The beam supporting Gilan and Will broke into pieces, and the crashed to the floor in a splintery heap. Groaning, they rolled over then went sliding on the coffee beans.
"This was a bad idea…"Gilan remarked.
"I haven't noticed," Will replied dryly. "Now I can say: Told you so!"
"Shut up," Gil grumbled. Halt just smirked.
The End
That was my chapter, and now this story has come to a close. If you haven't already, please check out my other stories and review! My personal favorite is Halt vs. Tape, so read that one first. I'm not done with Mentally Lost…yet
You know, I might even write a whole story about Halt the coffee lord. It came to me out of nowhere… lol
Remember to review!
