(A/N: I decided on 5 parts instead of 4. Sorry this took so long.)
Summer Vacation Pt. 3
By the time they arrived, it was really dark outside. "Wow!" Venus exclaimed, looking around at the hotel entrance. Just that amazed her. "This is awesome!"
"I've seen better," Mandrake joked, smirking. Venus rolled her eyes while smiling.
"Aww, lighten up!" She teased, tickling his stomach under his shirt.
"Hey! Hehehe! Ve-Venus stop! Hahahaha!" He laughed as he pushed her hand away, then pulled his shirt back down. "You little stinker!" He chuckled as he rubbed his nose on hers. She giggled with her hand over her mouth.
"This is awesome!" Nod said, looking around.
"Isn't it?" M.K. said excitedly. "This is going to be great!"
"It's too bad Dagda had to miss all this," Mars said a bit glumly.
"Yeah," M.K. said. "But maybe next time, someone else can watch Ozzy, and Dagda can come along!" Mandrake raised his hand.
"I vote for Ronin," He said, smirking. Venus giggled. Ronin rolled his eyes.
"Ha ha, very funny," He muttered. Mandrake chuckled with his lips shut, smiling widely.
"C'mon, guys! Let's check into a hotel!" M.K. called out as she and Bomba headed for the entrance for the hotel. "I'll call Dagda to check on him and Ozzy." She took her cell phone out of her purse, dialed her home number, and held it up to her ear.
*Epic-The-Series*
Back at the house, Dagda was sitting on the couch, watching World's Dumbest Daredevils on TV.
"Ohh! That's gotta hurt!" He exclaimed, cringing as a guy on the TV fell off a skateboard, only to have it land on his head. Then the phone rang. Dagda muted the TV, and went to the phone. "Eyello?" He answered, snickering at what he said.
"Hey, Dagda. How's it going over there?" M.K. asked.
"Oh, everything's going fine!" Dagda said cheerfully.
"Okay, good. How's Ozzy?" The young Boggan looked towards the pug, who was sleeping by the door.
"He's asleep; I fed him 10 minutes ago like your list said to. So, you guys having fun so far?"
"We haven't been in the park yet, but I think the others are quite impressed with the entrance," M.K. giggled, glancing at the others, who were gazing around in awe. Dagda smirked.
"Wish I was there," He said. Mandrake took M.K.'s phone, and held it up to his mouth.
"Next time, you're coming with us, and Ronin's staying home!" He called into the phone, Venus giggling next to him. M.K. snatched her phone back, glaring at him.
"Sorry, what'd you say?" She said.
"I said I wish I was there," Dagda replied, chuckling at what his dad said.
"Well, maybe next time, you can come with us," M.K. shrugged.
"And Ronin stays home!" Mandrake yelled, so his son could hear him, earning another glare from M.K., and more giggles from Venus.
"'K, well I just wanted to check on you and Ozzy. Talk to you later, bye," M.K. said.
"Bye," Dagda replied before M.K. hung up. He looked at the TV, and unmuted it, realizing he had missed the #1 daredevil. "Aww, c'mon!" He yelled to practically nobody, throwing his head back.
*Epic-The-Series*
"So, how are Dagda and Ozzy?" Venus asked.
"They're doing good," M.K. replied as she put her phone back in her purse. "Dagda said Ozzy was asleep."
"Cool," Mars said, as the group headed for the hotel. Once they got in, she looked around in the lobby. "Ooh! Fancy!"
The lobby had a light tan floor, with colorful swirls on the long rug. There were some chandeliers on the tan ceilings, lighting up the lobby.
"I'll go ahead and check us in," Bomba piped up as he headed for the front desk. Venus and Mars came with him, while the others sat on the blue couches. "Nice place," Nod said, looking around.
"I'm going to look around for a bit," Mandrake got up, and just wandered around. When he was looking at a framed picture of the Disneyland map, an unfamiliar female voice piped up behind him.
"Why, hello!" The voice said. Mandrake furrowed his eyebrows, and turned around, spotting a girl that looked to be about as tall as Venus, including her ears.
She had dark blonde hair that went down under her shoulders, blue-green eyes, slightly tan skin, and dressed all in blue. Plus she had blue eyeshadow, and bright blue lipstick.
"Um, hello," Mandrake said awkwardly. "Do I know you?"
"Do you want to?" She asked, smiling widely.
"I don't think I do," He replied, shaking his head.
"Well, my name's Mildred," The girl said, as if she didn't hear him. Or she just didn't listen. Mandrake scrunched his nose.
'Mildred?' He thought. 'Venus is way prettier.'
"What's yours?" Mildred asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Mandrake," He said irritably, as he turned back to the map. Mildred stepped in front of him, much to his annoyance.
"Mandrake? That's a handsome name," She said smoothly. "Just like you."
'Oh jeez,' The Boggan leader thought. 'This is going to be bad.'
*Epic-The-Series*
"Room 513," The guy behind the counter gave Bomba his room key for the suite they were going to stay in. He gazed at the twins, and raised his eyebrows. "Well, hello." Venus furrowed her eyebrows awkwardly.
"Um, hello."
"Hey!" Mars replied more enthusiastically.
"What do they call you ladies?"
"I'm Mars!" The pale redhead replied, smiling. "And this is my little sister, Venus!" The green-eyed girl glared at her.
"Twin sister," She deadpanned, putting emphasis on the word twin.
"It matters," Mars batted her hand at Venus. "And that guy over there is Venus' loving boyfrie-" She stopped when she saw Mandrake turning away from a girl with dark blonde hair, only to have her slide back in front of him, so he turned around again. "Uh oh."
"What's wrong, sis?" Venus asked, her eyebrows furrowed. Mars simply pointed her index finger to where the Boggan leader was. Venus looked in the direction her sister was pointing, and her jaw dropped at what she saw was happening: Some bimbo was flirting with her man! She furrowed her eyebrows, scrunched her nose, narrowed her eyes in anger, and stomped over to them.
"So, you have a girlfriend?" Mildred asked, her back on his chest. Mandrake backed away. Then Venus came stomping up, her green eyes red with anger.
"HEY!" She screamed, making the blonde quickly turn around. "What do you think you're doing, lady?!" Mildred scoffed, and rolled her eyes.
"Get lost, shorty. I saw him first," She said, crossing her arms, and turning up her nose. Venus giggled.
"No, I saw him first," She started, with a small, fake smile. "3 years ago, now BEAT IT!" Venus screamed, and Mildred ran off. The pale girl smiled, feeling satisfied.
"Thanks for that, babe," Mandrake said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "She was annoying, and wouldn't leave me alone."
"No problem. I don't want to lose you to some bimbo," Venus giggled.
"Pssh, she could've been a supermodel for all I care, and I would've stayed with you," He kissed her forehead. "You're truly the one for me."
"Well, you're the one for me too," Venus said as she kissed his cheek. "I wouldn't leave you for the richest, hottest man in the world."
"Aww, you little sap," He rubbed his nose on hers, and she giggled.
"You're the sap," Venus teased as she poked his ribs with her index finger, making him flinch.
"Hey! Don't!" He snickered as he pushed her hand away.
"Aww, c'mon! Have some fun!" Venus giggled as she started poking his ribs repeatedly with her index fingers. He started giggling, and trying to push her hands away.
"Hey, Ve-Venus! Stohop! Hahaha!" He laughed as he tried to cover himself with his arms, and one of his legs.
"Okay then!" Venus said cheerfully, as she started tickling his ribs.
"Venus! Hahahaha! I t-told you to st-stop! Hahahaha!" Mandrake laughed harder.
"No!" Venus giggled. "You told me to stop poking you! You didn't say anything about tickling you!" She started tickling the sides of his ribs.
"I-Ihihi'm se-seheherious, Venus! Q-quit it! Hahahaha!" He laughed as tears came in his eyes. He fell on his back on one of the couches, and Venus sat on his legs, like he did with her back in the limo.
"Say you're sorry for earlier, and I'll stop!" She said as she tickled up and down his sides.
"Y-you quit tickling me f-first! Hahahahaha!" Mandrake laughed as the tears in his eyes fell down his cheeks.
"Nuh uh! You say it first!" Venus teased as she tickled his stomach, his worst tickle spot, under his shirt.
"O-okahahay! Okahahahay! I'll say ihihihit! Hahahaha!" He gave in, as his grey-blue cheeks turned red. Venus smiled, and drew her hands out of his shirt, and crossed her arms.
"Well?" She said, smirking.
"I-I'm sorry!" He said, sitting up, and wiping his eyes.
"Good boy," Venus got up from his legs, and stood on the floor. "Now, say I'm the best girlfriend ever," She said, deciding to get revenge.
"You're the best girlfriend ever. No joke," Mandrake smiled, and kissed her forehead. "But, doesn't that seem self-centered?" He said tauntingly, repeating what Venus had said back in the limo. Venus smirked, and held her hands up, with her fingers spread out. "Sorry, you don't scare me, kid," He chuckled as he ruffled her hair, then sat back on the couch. Venus pouted, and flopped her arms down by her sides, but sat next to him. "Aww, aren't you excited, sweetheart?" He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Mm hmm," Venus hummed, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Want to see the brochure you had on your face in the car?" She giggled.
"Sure," Mandrake shrugged. Venus grabbed it off the coffee table in front of them, and gave it to him. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the map. "Wow, huge place."
"That's what we all said!" Venus giggled. "Hey, guys!" M.K. piped up. "Let's check out the suite!" The others got up off the couches, and followed her and Bomba.
*Epic-The-Series*
"Here we go!" Bomba piped up. "Room 513!" He unlocked the door with his room key, and the group entered the suite.
The suite had a caramel rug with lighter shaded swirls, blue and tan plaid curtains on the windows, which were as tall as the walls and had blue frames. The furniture was black tables, one had a black lamp with a white lampshade. The seats were a tan couch, and big chair.
"Nice!" Nod piped up. "And a great view!" He looked out the window, where he could see one of the Disney parks.
"Okay, we can all relax for a bit before we go to California Adventure in the morning" M.K. announced as she sat in the chair.
"Oh, yeah!" Mandrake flopped on the couch, with his hands behind his head. "This is nice!" Then he felt someone practically pounce on him. It was Venus.
"I'm so excited!" She squealed, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yeah, I can tell," He chuckled as he rested his hands on her back and head. "Aren't you?" Venus asked, looking up at him.
"Sure, I am, sweetheart" Mandrake said, kissing her cheek. "I'm just a bit worn out from the car, plane, and limo rides here."
"Ohhh, okay!" Venus said, raising her eyebrows, and getting off of him. "Sorry I jumped you."
"Aww, it's okay, Venus," Mandrake kissed her forehead. "I can understand," He finished as he tickled her sides.
"Eep! Hehehe!" She squealed as she tried to cover her sides with her arms. Mandrake stopped after a few seconds.
"That's for pouncing on me, little missy," He teased as he leaned back on the couch, smiling widely. Venus raised an eyebrow, then walked away.
"I'm going to explore the suite for a bit," She said as she walked into another room, with everyone else except Mandrake and M.K. following.
"So, Venus? Sweet girl, huh?" M.K. said to Mandrake after a second of silence.
"Yep, she's an angel," Mandrake said, staring at the ceiling. "But sometimes, she drives me nuts."
"Really?" The redhead furrowed her eyebrows. "What makes you say that?" "Well, she tried to wake me up an hour early this morning," Mandrake said stress-fully. "And she went back 5 minutes later."
"Wow," M.K. giggled. "She must've been psyched about this trip."
"Yep," Mandrake looked in the doorway of the bedroom, where Venus was, "But even though she drives me crazy, I love her." He smiled when she looked at them, and waved her hand.
"Awww," M.K. teased. "You're so sweet!"
"Stop it," Mandrake rolled his eyes. "I'm not sweet."
"Oh, yes you are!" The green-eyed redhead teased him some more. "You love your little girlie girl!"
"She is not my "girlie girl," M.K.," Mandrake said, using air quotes on 'girlie girl.' "She's my Girl. Friend. And she's not girly. She's never worn pink in her life. 'Least not more than once." M.K. stifled some giggles.
"I didn't mean in style," She said. "I meant in personality. You know, she's hyper, excitable, sweet."
"Yeah, she's hyper, alright!" The Boggan leader exclaimed, raising his eyebrows. "I swear, if she had any energizer, she'd be bouncing off the walls, and then some!" M.K. giggled some more.
"Well, she never means any harm to anybody." She shrugged.
"She sure meant harm to that one girl in the lobby!" Mandrake scoffed, recalling Venus' searing anger at that girl who was flirting with him.
"Huh? What girl?" M.K. furrowed her eyebrows.
"When we were in the lobby, some bimbo was trying to flirt with me," Mandrake explained. "Then Venus comes up, with her eyes practically red. The girl claimed she 'saw me first,' then Venus said she did, then told, or should I say, screamed at her to beat it, which she did." M.K. had her eyebrows raised the whole time.
"Wow," She said quietly. "I was wondering who Venus was screaming at," She giggled. Then Venus came back in the room.
"Hi!" She piped up as she sat next to Mandrake, who smiled at her.
"Hey, sweetheart," He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and kissed the top of her head.
"The suite looks great! There are two bedrooms with one bed for two each! With a TV!" She said excitedly. Mandrake raised his eyebrows.
"Really?" He asked, sounding interested. He always loved watching TV at M.K.'s house, especially when the shows had to do with idiots getting injured. "A TV in the bedrooms?"
"Mm hmm!" Venus nodded. "Want to see it? Come on!" She jumped off the couch, grabbed Mandrake's hand, and practically dragged him out of the room.
The bedroom had tan striped walls, a caramel carpet with lighter swirls, a grey chair with a lamp above it, and a bed fit for two people.
"Oh, yeah!" Mandrake flopped on his back on one of the beds. "This is nice!"
"Uh huh!" Venus laid on the bed on her back next to him. "I'm worn out from the trip here."
"You sure didn't seem so a couple minutes ago!" Mandrake teased as he rubbed his hand, with his fingers spread out, on her stomach. She squealed, and curled up, trying to cover her stomach with her arms. He stopped after a couple seconds.
"Well, I just am now," She giggled.
"I know, I was just messin' with you, kid," Mandrake chuckled as he ruffled her hair. Venus giggled and turned, so she was lying on her side, facing him.
"I'm really excited," She said, resting her head on her hand, with her elbow propped on the bed. "Are you?"
"Yep," Mandrake said, turning so he faced her.
"What should we go on first?" Venus asked excitedly.
"I dunno, I forgot what there was!" The Boggan leader chuckled.
"M.K. did tell me there was this Ferris Wheel that's 160 Stomper feet tall," Venus said.
"Dang, 160 feet?" Mandrake's eyes widened. "That's tall!"
"Yeah," Venus said quietly, slightly looking away.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Mandrake asked, putting his hand on her cheek. "You okay?"
"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine," Venus said shyly. "It's just that- "
"Hey, guys!" M.K. called out, interrupting their moment.
She came in wearing dark blue shorts with yellow birds, and a yellow bow on the waistband, along with a black tee that said "I'd rather be in bed" in white capital letters. On her feet, she wore Batman slipper boots.
Nod had on a pair of Superman sleep pants, and a blue T-shirt with the Superman logo.
"It's time for bed!"
"I'll tell you tomorrow," Venus said quietly as she sat up.
"You want to sleep on the chair, Venus?" M.K. asked.
"Sure!" The pale girl said, smiling, as she walked to the chair, and sat on it. "I can do that." The others walked in after her.
"Okay. Me, Dad, and Nod will sleep in the other room. Mars can sleep on the couch," M.K. continued. The pale redhead and the brunette nodded. "And Mandrake, Ronin, you two will sleep in the same bed-"
"Say what now?" The two boys said simultaneously.
"Oh, don't be babies," M.K. scoffed. "It's not so bad."
"Not so bad?!" Mandrake exclaimed ridiculously. "I am not sleeping with that goody-goody! I'd rather get sucked into a tree knob!"
"And I am not sleeping with that delinquent!" Ronin yelled, pointing at the Boggan leader.
"Care to repeat that, mister?" Mandrake taunted angrily.
"You're a delinquent!" Ronin yelled back.
"That's it!" Mandrake shouted as he pounced on the Leafman general, and they started to fight. M.K. groaned and threw her head back, rolling her eyes.
"Stop it!" She yelled as she and Mars pulled back Ronin and Mandrake, respectively. "Can you two not fight for two minutes?!"
"Only if he's not in my life," Mandrake said, crossing his arms, and turning away from Ronin.
"You think you're fun to live with?!" Ronin said back.
"Okay, Mandrake, if you don't get along with Ronin, you're staying here when we go tomorrow! Same to you, Ronin!" M.K. scolded.
"No!" Venus piped up as she jumped out of the chair, and wrapped her arms around the Boggan leader's waist. "No! I want you to come with us!" She whined pitifully. Mandrake smiled, and gently hugged her.
"Aww, it's okay, babygirl. I'll try for you," He kissed the top of her head. Venus looked up, and smiled shyly at him. Mandrake sent a death glare to Ronin when the pale girl wasn't looking. "You better not push me!" He hissed quietly.
"I'll try my best," The Leafman general said sarcastically as he sat on the bed.
"You want to change, Venus?" M.K. asked as the said girl flopped back on the chair.
"No thanks," Venus said, leaning her head on the armrest, "I'm too tired," She said groggily.
"Well, if you're tired, then go to sleep," Mandrake replied, standing up, and kissing her forehead.
"You want a pillow, Venus?" M.K. asked her.
"Sure," Venus replied, sitting up. "My neck was starting to hurt."
"Here," Mandrake went towards the bed, then held it up one of the pillows, smirking, "You can use Ronin's." The Leafman general rolled his eyes.
"No thanks, you can use it, Ronin," Venus said sweetly. Ronin smiled at the pale girl.
"Thanks, Venus," He said gratefully.
"I'll get you one from the couch," M.K. piped up as she headed for the main room, and coming back a minute later with a small pillow. "Here you go," She gave it to Venus.
"Thanks," The pale girl laid it on the armrest, then leaned down on it again. "That's better."
"Goodnight, guys!" M.K. called out as she, Bomba, and Nod headed for the other bedroom, with Venus waving at them.
"Goodnight, sweetheart," Mandrake said to Venus, who smiled.
"Goodnight, sweetie!" Ronin said tauntingly, only to make the Boggan leader angry, which he did.
"I wasn't talkin' to you!" Mandrake yelled without turning around. He could hear Venus giggling. "Goodnight, Venus," He said again, putting emphasis on his girlfriend's name.
"'Night, Dray!" She said back before drifting off.
*The next morning*
Venus' eyes slowly blinked open, as she shielded them from the bright sun. She yawned, stretching out her limbs, before stepping on the floor, walking towards Mandrake and Ronin's bed.
"Hey, Mandrake! Wake up!" She called, shaking him by his shoulders, then doing the same to Ronin. The Boggan leader woke up first, sitting up, and yawning, while rubbing his eyes. "Mornin, Drakey," Venus said sweetly as she sat on the bed. Mandrake smiled at her.
"Morning, sweetheart," He kissed her forehead, and hugged her close to him. She giggled, and hugged him back sweetly.
"Good morning, lovebirds!" Mars called out as she entered the room. Venus looked at her, surprised.
"Oh, mornin', Sis." Mars went up to the still sleeping Ronin, and shook his shoulder.
"Hey, Ronin! Wake up!" She called.
"I'm up!" He shot up, with his eyes wide before almost closing them again. Mars giggled in her hand, then ran into the other bedroom.
"C'mon, get up, lazybones!" She called out cheerfully. The pale redhead shook Bomba's shoulders, then M.K.'s, then Nod's. "It's time to get up!" She bounded out of the room excitedly. Nod sat up in his seat, yawning.
"Morning already?" He said drowsily as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Good morning, Nod," M.K. piped up as she sat up and yawned. "We should get dressed." She stood on the floor, as she walked out of the room, followed by Nod.
Bomba came out a couple minutes later, wearing a pair of black Moto Pants, black Mono sneakers, and a red, white, and blue Tie-dye T-shirt with the Captain America logo on the chest.
"That's a cool shirt," Mars piped up as she admired it.
"Thanks," Bomba replied, smiling.
"C'mon, guys!" Venus piped up excitedly, with Mandrake next to her. "Let's get going!"
"Just a second!" M.K. ran into the bedroom, and coming out a couple minutes later.
She was wearing a yellow dress with a black torso, navy blue shoes, a navy blue digital watch, yellow dolphin stud earrings, a necklace with the word "Love" in red letters, with an outline of Minnie Mouse's head replacing the "O," and a bracelet with British charms. Plus she had a mint green purse hanging on her shoulder.
"Cute necklace," Venus piped up. "Matches my wrist cuff!" She held up her wrist that had the silver cuff on it.
"Thanks," M.K. said. "Okay, let's go!"
(A/N#2: Sorry it took so long for me to update. I just decided to chop Pt. 3 in half, so now this episode/special will have 5 parts instead of 4. Plus, I hope I don't offend anybody who's named Mildred. The name was just a random choice.)
