Chocolate Pudding-chan: I'm am so sorry this took so long! But the idea for "For the Love of Pig" came, and I just had to finish! By the way, I would totally love you forever if you read it for me as a favor! Now, please enjoy the final chapter of "Roadtrip of Doom"!
After attempting to find a gas station, burying roadkill, and making several "Pit stops" in the bushes, the three had barely gotten 500 feet form their car. I fact, they could still see it, sitting by the side of the road.
Pai was exasperated with everything.
Kisshu was fed up with this whole mission.
Taruto had to pee again.
"Uh, guys?" he said, which his friends had figured out exactly what that meant by now.
"What have you been drinking?!" Ksih asked.
"Stuff."
"Fine. Go. Now." Pai muttered, plopping down in the grass.
Kish sat down next to him.
"Pai, I really think we should give this up."
"No! We have….to complete…..the mission….."
"I think you're starting to lose it."
"I never thought I'd say this, but I think you may be right."
"Let's go home, please? We're never going to make it to this "Canada" place in time for whatever we're supposed to be there for! WE'RE STILL IN JAPAN, FOR CHINCHILLA'S SAKES!"
"Chinchilla?"
"I think I'm losing it too. I'm even starting to hear things." Kish commented, after hearing a huge whooshing sound.
"Wait, I hear it too…" Pai murmured, as it got louder.
"Hey guys! What's that weird noise?" Tart said, coming out of the woods after peeing for probably the third time that hour.
They all looked up, only to see a flaming meteor soaring strait at them.
"Oh my Gawd!"
Tart shouted.
His friends stared, as he finished:
"I think I left the water running at home!"
There was then an enormous explosion, and after a few minutes of nothing but smoke, the three stood in what was now a clearing, all covered in ashes. One of Tart's pigtails was on fire. He licked his fingers and put out the small flames.
And they just stood silently for awhile, still shaken from the random explosion.
And then, as if planned, their leader appeared.
But for once in his life, Pai didn't want to be a follower anymore. He did not bow. He was done.
After an embarrassing haircut, a crazy peeing mutant pet, a snoring problem, being a justice of the peace, surviving a meteor explosion, and surviving Taruto, he was done.
"Listen to me." The dark leader started. "I know things have not gone as planned, but—"
"No." this was the first time Pai had ever backsassed his superior.
"Y-y-you listen t-to me!" he stuttered.
"He's gonna blow….."Kish whispered.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! After suffering through this hell of a mission, this stupid haircut, that stupid opossum—"
"Gerald." Tart said quietly, luckily Pai didn't hear him.
"And being cooped up for days with that thing," he pointed a stiff finger at Taruto, who, of course, had stopped paying attention and was now carefully studying a dandelion.
"I'm DONE! I QUIT!" he turned to his friends.
"MEN, and Tart." he began dramatically. "WHO'S WITH ME, EH?!"
Kish knew his friend had completely lost his mind, but it was a way to get out of this mission. But maybe he HADN'T lost it. Maybe, for once in his life, Pai had realized that a glowing orb was not in complete control of his life.
"I'm with ya, man! AYE!" Kish shouted.
"MUTINY!" Tart randomly shouted himself. Everyone stared.
"What? I've always wanted to say that."
"Guys," Pai said at last, "It's time to go home."
Home.
And home's just where they went.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
As they stood in the kitchen of the ship, Pai regained his composure once more.
"Well," he said, "I suppose it can't be much worse, right?"
"Yeah…." Kish said. He was happy this whole thing had finally ended.
"Yuppers!" Tart cut in.
But, as they walked down the hall to go to their own rooms at last, they noticed a flood of water coming from behind the bathroom door. Then, Tart reminded them:
"I KNEW IT!"
Chocolate Pudding-chan: Well, now it is done. I thank all my great reviewers for being so supportive. Please continue reading and reviewing! I love you all! Tart's gonna need a mop!
