Chapter Seven: Tying Up Loose Ends

"I'm hungry!"

"I'm tired!"

"I'm thirsty!"

"I have to go pee!"

Ark Thompson's face contorts in confusion and anguish. "Uh...where are we going, again?"

"Disney Land!" Lilly yells.

"Yeah, Disney Land!" her brother Lott echoes.

Ark frowns, and continues to pull the two kids along in their red wagon. "Well...why does that road sign up ahead say 'Japan: 4,327 miles'?" he asks.

Silence for a few moments. Then Lilly speaks up again. "Uh, cause there's a Disney Land in Japan!"

"Yeah, dude, it's totally better than all the others!" Lott adds.

Ark nods solemnly. "Ok." A few moments pass as he walks in silence, the wheels of the wagon squeaking lightly as he continues to pull it along. Ark turns his head once again. "Uh...and who am I again?"

"You're grandpa," Lilly states firmly, nodding.

"I'm...grandpa...?" Ark squints in utter bewilderment. "And...who are you two?"

Lott and Lilly look at each other. Lott looks at Ark. "We're guards."

Lilly smiles. "Yeah, we're guards..." Lott repeats the words, affirming their identity. "Guards..." "Yeah, guards..." "We're guards..." "...guards..." The two smirk at each other.

Ark just turns his attention back to the road, looking very lost as he continues plodding along, pulling the wagon behind him.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Vincent Goldman leaps out of the bushes, wielding an empty beer bottle. Ark and the kids just stare blankly at him, somewhat startled. Vincent looks wildly from one person to the other, before threateningly stabbing his bottle through the air several times. "I'm hijacking your vehicle, and you're taking me to Japan, or else you get it!"

"Get...what?" Ark asks.

Vincent opens his mouth to say something, hesitates, zones out for a moment, and then raises the bottle again, pointing it at the trio. "You'll get this bottle! In your nose! Huh? HUH? How'd you like to have THAT! HUH!"

No one really has anything to say to that. Satisfied, Vincent pushes his way past Ark. "Move over," he grumbles to the kids, and squeezes into the tiny red wagon. Ark, looking more confused than ever now, sighs and continues his task of pulling them to Japan.

Suddenly, a group of people cross the road ahead. They are a mis-matched bunch, and they all seem to be talking at once.

"Yoko. Yoko. Yeah. Yoko. Uh-huh." "Homygod!" "No WAY!" "Just do it!" "I KNOW that!" "Mark. COME ON!" "Uh-uh." "May I have it, pretty please?" "Thank you." "Find anything?" "My life is SHIT!" "Help me!"

Ark and the others look on in bewilderment as the group of people continues on their way. After a few moments of awkward silence, standing there on the empty road between two fields, the sound of squeaking wagon wheels starts up again as Ark begins to walk...

Note: This is the part where I apologize for the long wait between updates, blah blah whine whine bitch moan, etc. You all know the drill by now. Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter! The 'guards, yeah, guards' part was taken from 'Team America', by the way. Next chapter: We revisit the Alpha Team bus to see how our heroes are faring! Also, a very special visit from a VERY special guest. Featuring unbelievably controversial material that may get me banned from or even arrested! Stay tuned:-)
