Vicky:
Whoa! I'm not usually this Hyper am I?
Shalon: 99% of the
time
Vicky: Really? I wonder what
make me so hyper? Must be something I'm eating!
Shalon:
I bet it has something to do with your Captin Crunch Cereal
Vicky: You mean the ones
with the Crunch Berries? I don't think thats it, if it
was then it would have affected Duo too!
Shalon: Heh, my point exactly
Vicky: It's got to be something
else..... Perhaps I should stop eating carrots... better
yet, I'll scrap veggies all together....... |
Trip to IKEA! Part II
The
great store of Ikea looms up at the travelers.
All:
Ooo....Ahhhhh......
Duo: *Rubs his hands together* Lets shop!!
Everyone piles out of the Van.
Vicky:
Man this place is huge!!!
Wufei:
Perhaps we should get a little kiddie leash for Duo... perhaps
one for Vicky too.
Shalon:
That might not be a bad idea.....
But before they can acquire the leashes Vicky and Duo are
off and running...wreaking havoc upon Ikea.
Vicky:
*Runs back out with a "customer in training kiddie shopping
cart." Duo is riding in the cart all crunched up* Look it's
a Chibi Cart!
Heero:
HEY GET OUT OF THAT BEFORE YOU BREAK IT AND WE END UP PAYING
FOR IT!
Duo:
Hey if we pay for it we get to keep it right?
Vicky:
OOOH YAY!
Shalon:
*Watches them go by and sighs.* Oh well. Lets just find a
bed and get out of here as quickly as possible before they
destroy the place.
Quatre:
*Eye twitch* All right.
The five of them walk over to the bedroom section of the store.
A crash is heard in the distance... Duo and Vicky come running
back to the group.
Shalon:
What happened.
Duo and Vicky stand with innocent looks on their faces.
Both:
Nothing!
Security officers suddenly appear.
Duo:
Umm....I'm just gonna go over there. Yeah...that's right.
See ya! *runs off*
Vicky:
Coward!!
Vicky sees the guards get closer.
Vicky:
On the other hand....I'm just going to make sure Duo isn't
getting into trouble. Bye!! *Runs off in Duo's direction.*
Shalon:
*sigh*
Quatre:
I can see I'm going to be spending a lot of money here.
Wufei:
I told you to leave them at home!
Trowa:
And let them wreck stuff back home? I don't think that is
wise.
Heero:
*Walks off* I'll go get them before they cause more trouble.
Shalon continues to look at beds. Testing one out, she jumps
on it a few times, then lays down and tests the softness.
Shalon:
This one is nice. Can I have this one Quatre?
Quatre:
Yeah sure.
Shalon:
Sweet!!
Quatre:
Lets go pay for it and get it sent to my estate.
Heero comes back dragging Vicky and Duo along behind him.
Heero:
I found them.
Vicky:
I want to go exploring!
Duo:
Yay!
Heero:
I don't think so! You stay here with us! I want to be able
to see you two at all times!! Understood!
Vicky:
*Gets all starry eyed* You hear that Duo!? Heero wants to
see us at all times!!
Duo:
Kinky!
Heero smacks Duo.
Duo: *Rubbing his head* You do that way to often!
Shalon:
Oooookay.
Heero:
Hn.
Trowa: Hey I'm just going to check out what they have
for shelves and closets.
Quatre:
Okay lets go check it out, I wanted to check out some other
household items too.
Trowa:
According to the map here its around this corner and then
to the right... then you take a left at the kitchen tables...
Duo looks around and notices Heero is currently distracted
looking at a big "Friends" style coffee cup.
Duo:
Now is my chance to get away!
Duo
takes off running and disappears around the corner only to
come running back in fear.
Heero:
What's wrong with you?
Duo:
Do NOT go over there! Its full of beehives?
Shalon:
What? Impossible.
Vicky:
*Goes and looks.* Those are lamp shades you dumb ass!
Duo:
What kind of moron would want beehive lamp shades?
Wufei:
*To the sales person* I'd like two please. *Looks back at
the confused faces* What?
Trowa:
Hey if it keeps Duo out of his room I can't blame him
Something suddenly catches Duo's eye.
Duo:
Sweet!!! *Takes off from the group*
Shalon:
Hey your going to get lost!!
Wufei:
Ah, let him!
Vicky:
What do you suppose he found?
Heero:
Lets hope it was rat poison!
Everyone looks at Heero.
Heero:
Admit it you were all thinking it.
Everyone looks down in shame.
All:
*mumbles* Yeah...its true.
Meanwhile...
In the electronics section a girl with brown hair is happily
playing a Nintendo 64.
Duo walks up to the girl.
Duo:
So your playing Nintendo 64 huh?
Girl:
Yep.
Duo:
Are ya any good at it? I could show you some tricks if you
want.
Girl:
*stops playing to look at the Duo.* I could kick your ass
at any game.
Duo looks momentarily shocked, but not one to let his pride
be stomped on, especially not by a girl, he looks at the girl
coldly.
Duo:
Oh yeah?
Girl:
Yeah!
Duo:
Well I think I can beat you!
Girl:
I'd like to see you try.
Duo grabs the second controller.
Duo:
Lets play!
Girl:
The game is Mario Kart. Anything goes. I hope you're prepared
to lose.
Duo:
I never lose. Especially not at this game.
The girl just smirks.
Girl:
We shall see about that.
Duo:
Let the games begin!
Meanwhile
back at the group...
Heero:
He's gone again...
Wufei:
At least we don't have to listen to his annoying voice!
Trowa:
I'm just going over here... I'll be right back.
Shalon:
Yeah yeah okay. Have fun.
Trowa leaves the group, no one really notices.
In
electronics...
From
the moment the game started Duo knew that he was in trouble.
The girl was surprisingly skilled. But he was still better.
Duo chuckled to himself. No one had ever been able to beat
him at Mario Kart yet. He was the undefeated champion.
Duo:
Take that! *Shoots out a red turtle shell towards the girls
kart*
Girl:
Your mortal shells have no effect on me! *Uses the invisibility
ghost* Hahaha
Duo:
Damn!
Back
with Trowa...
Trowa:
*looking at his map in some other part of Ikea* Okay if I
take a right turn here it should take me to housewares. *Trowa
opens the door in front of him, its the parking lot.* No I
don't think this is it. *looks back at his map*
Trowa:
Hmm *looks at the sign on another door* "Bathroom" *walks
in* Is this the real one or one of those fake display ones?
Well only one way to find out.
Back
at the races...
Duo drives with all his might and is finally able to take
the lead, his face lined with intense concentration.
Duo:
Hahaha!!!
Girl:
Perfect! *she shoots off the three red turtle shells she'd
been hoarding* Sucker.
She takes the lead and crosses the finish line to win the
race.
Duo's jaw drops.
Duo:
WHAT!! B..bu...but how...this is impossible. You must have
cheated.
Girl:
*Grabs Duo by the collar* Hey! You wanna say that again?
Duo:
Uh..No. I'll admit your pretty skilled. What's your name?
Girl:
Joni.
Duo:
Well Joni, I'll bet you can't do beat me again.
Joni:
Oh yeah.
Duo:
Yeah!
Joni:
Bring it on. Oh and by the way nice "jam-jams"!
Duo looks down at himself and screams in horror.
Duo:
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME I WAS STILL WEARING MY PAJAMAS????!!!!
Back
to the weary shoppers...
They are wandering around Ikea when they hear a shrill scream.
Heero:
That sounded like Duo.
Quatre:
Do you think we should go find him? He could be in trouble.
Heero:
Do we have to?
Shalon:
It might be best. I don't think the Ikea people want him in
the store anymore.
Quatre:
How can you tell?
Shalon points to the security guard following them.
Shalon:
I think we're being kicked out.
Wufei:
No one kicks US out! Injustice!
Quatre:
Umm let me deal with this.
Shalon:
I'm going to find Duo.
Back
with Trowa...
Trowa:
*Walks out of the bathroom* Fake, definitely fake.
Trowa walks away from the bathroom as fast as he can, hoping
nobody saw him. He comes across a long hallway with what seems
to be hundreds of doors running along both walls. Trowa begins
to go down the hallway opening random doors.
Trowa:
Housewares has got to be around here somewhere! *Looks at
the map* "Shortcut to Housewares" I go this way.. *Heads off
the left*
On
to Shalon's search...
Shalon wanders around for a while then looks back down at
the map she'd been following.
Shalon:
What the hell...where am I? Housewares!! I don't bloody want
to be here. Geeze this thing is useless. I hope Trowa is having
better luck navigating with it then I am.
Meanwhile...
Trowa:
How about this door?
Trowa opens yet another door, and walks in he is surrounded
by kids and bright colored balls.
Trowa:
Not housewares, but it looks fun none the less. Ohh a slide!
Well maybe one time wouldn't hurt....
The
journey continues...
Shalon finally gets fed up with the map.
Shalon:
Screw this. I'm going on instinct.
Duo's
voice can be heard screaming in the distance.
Duo:
HAHAHA!! I've got you now!!
Shalon:
Hmm...I have a feeling that he's that way. *Starts walking
towards the electronics area*
Outside
of IKEA...
Wufei:
Yeah...you handled that guard REALLY well Winner!
Back
to the dueling duo...uh, no pun intended.
Joni:
NEVER!!!
Shalon
walks into electronics.
Shalon:
Ah ha! I've found him.
Shalon
sneaks up behind Duo, who is hunched over in complete concentration,
sweat pouring down his face.
Shalon:
I've finally found you.
Duo:
*Jumps a mile high* AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Joni:
Ha!! I win!
Duo:
*Comes down from the ceiling.* No fair. I got distracted.
I would have won.
Joni:
Well ya snooze ya lose.
Duo:
I will beat you one day.
Shalon:
Hey Duo...who's your new friend?
Duo:
This is Joni. She plays video games.
Shalon:
How exciting. Did she manage to beat you?
Duo:
*Looks sheepish* coughyescough
Shalon:
I'm sorry I didn't catch that.
Duo:
YES!! All right yes. She beat me.
Joni:
BEAT HIM!?! I KICKED HIS LEOPARD SPOTTED ASS ALL OVER THE
FLOOR!!!
On
to the Entertaining Clown...
Trowa is juggling the bright balls with the kids cheering
and watching in awe. After his performance he puts the balls
down.
Trowa:
Well I have to go. Bye everyone.
All
the children: Aww...do you have to.
Trowa:
Yes.
Child:
Well can I have your autograph.
All the children come and circle around him.
Children:
Yeah!! We want your autograph.
Trowa:
*Sweatdrop* Uh...all right. *starts signing pieces of paper.
Trowa finally leaves the room some time later, to the sound
of laughing and cheering children.
Trowa:
They love me...they really love me. *wipes a tear out of his
eye.*
Trowa
looks around and notices that he is once again in the long
hallway with hundreds of doors. Walking over to one, he opens
it and steps inside the room. The door slams shut behind him
and disappears. Trowa looks around the room. The floor is
a green grid and cubes and numbers are flying all around.
Trowa:
This is DEFINITELY NOT housewares!!!
A brightly colored cone suddenly flies by drops down puncturing
a hole in the grid. A giant swirling vortex forms, sucking
in whatever it can get a hold of. Trowa tries to grab something
to hold onto, but nothing is solid in this odd 4th dimension.
The winds from the vortex grab hold of him and pull him into
the vortex. **
Trowa:
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Back
to Duo's crisis...
Duo:
I'm going to beat her one day. Hey Shalon can we keep her?
Shalon:
No.
Duo:
Aww...but I found her. Finders keepers and all that.
Joni:
HEY!!
Duo:
Please?? *Gives Shalon Puppy Dog eyes*
Shalon:
Oh very well. You can bring her home.
Duo:
Yippee!!!
Joni:
Umm, excuse me. I did not agree to that.
Duo:
We're going to have so much fun. I will beat you at video
games if it the last thing I do.
Joni:
I don't think so bub.
Duo:
Oh yeah?!
Joni:
Yeah!
Duo:
Well I dare you to come and defend yourself.
Joni:
You're on!
Back
outside...
Vicky:
*Sitting on the curb* Who's going to pay for Shalon's bed
now?
Heero:
Considering that we're banned for life from IKEA, I think
well will just have to go else where.
Quatre:
Sorry guys.
Vicky:
I don't think Shalon is going to be happy about not getting
her bed.
Shalon, Joni and Duo walk out of IKEA.
Shalon:
Finally!!! Now we can go home. *looks around* Hey...where's
the bed?
Quatre:
I'm sorry Shalon we are going to have to get you bed somewhere
else. We are kind of banned from IKEA..
Duo:
WHOA!!! The Q-man got banned from IKEA! Good thing I stocked
up on those pencils!
Heero:
That's WHY we got banned!
Shalon:
*In a dangerously low voice* What?
Quatre:
And don't forget the havoc caused when Vicky and Duo were
running around with the shopping cart.
Shalon turns red.
Duo:
*Puts his hand behind his head* Aww...come on Shalon. You
know it was all in fun.
Vicky grabs Duo and they start backing away.
Vicky:
Yeah. All in fun. You know, being happy.
Shalon:
Oh yes. I know all about fun. You know what would be fun and
make me happy right now? To hurt you two...badly.
Joni:
Hey save some of that aggression for the video games!
Shalon:
As punishment you two get to walk home. And don't dawdle.
I'll expect you home in a half hour.
Duo:
But Shalon!! It takes at least an hour to walk home from here.
Shalon:
Then I guess you better start running huh?
Quatre:
Umm lets just go home.. we'll stop by The Brick or something
on the way home. And ONLY Shalon and I will go in this time.
Everyone else stays in the van.
Wufei:
Fine by me. I got what needed *holds up his "Bee Hive" Lamps*
Duo:
*To Vicky* She's not serious is she?
Vicky:
Ohh she is pretty serious...
Duo:
Nah...she's just kidding! I'm sure of it.
Duo starts to climb into the Van. Wufei holds up the "bee
hive" lamps from inside the van. Duo looks at them in fear
and backs out
Duo:
But Wu-Wu isn't. I guess we are walking home.
Vicky: Shakes her head* I can't believe your afraid
of paper lamp shades!
Duo: Have you SEEN them?
Shalon: *snaps at Duo and Vicky* Get moving.
Everyone else gets into the van and drives off... Joni is
waving happily to Duo and Vicky from inside the van.
Joni:
Hurry up and get home so I can kick your ass at Super Smash
Brothers! I'll be waiting! Ha ha ha ha HA HA!!!!!!
Shalon:
Hey...aren't we missing someone.
Heero:
Nope. By the head count we are all here. Keep driving.
Wufei:
Yeah, don't want to risk stopping and letting the kids back
in!
Shalon:
Oookay.. but it still feels like we are missing someone.
Back
at IKEA...
A black vortex opens above the IKEA parking lot and a figure
is dropped from it before it disappears again.
Trowa:
What the hell just happened?
He stands up looks around the deserted IKEA parking lot, the
orange glow from the oncoming sunset is casting the lot in
an eerie glow.
Trowa:
Guys?
Vicky:
So how much trouble do you think we are in?
Duo: Mmmm, I'd say....
A LOT!

**
Ok just a side note from Shal and I, the whole "vortex" thing
was taken from an episode of the Simpsons, we didn't come
us with it... how ever we thought it would be funny if Trowa
was in it anyways. :P Also
many thanks to J.P.A.W for her image of Trowa in the 4th Dimension!
