Fan Fiction ❯ Chao Music ❯ To Grandma's House We Go ( Chapter 6 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

A/N: Hello everybody! I'm here with a new installment on Chao Music, and I must say, I am running out of ideas for this fic!

If you can think of any “sidequests” that the band could do to add chapters, please, go ahead and tell me in your Reviews! Just don't make it something totally pitiful and stupid!

Anyway, I've got one idea, so this is probably going to be, like, “Part One of the Pointless Adventures!” Just something to add in chapters . . .

I had Reviews! Yay! Let's respond to them!

To Iyou: HOLY POO! HE'S DEAD! . . . Oh well.

To Dracozombie: I remember you! It's been forever! I don't know about the anime thing . . . I'm not that much of a fan of it. Except for one or two of them, maybe. And those anime songs are weird! But that's just all my opinion.

To Prince Izzy1: The crab hat part was Iyou's idea! What is it with Iyou having all of the good ideas? (ponders)

To Kakashi-fan116: I'm thinking that's an obvious hint! Ayame will be there, I just don't know when. Maybe that can be one of the pointless things? She . . . uh . . . GOES TO DISNEYLAND, PARIS, WITH THEM! I'm such a genius . . .

Now the chapter!

Chapter 6: To Grandma's House We Go: Part One of the Pointless Adventures!

Neil and Skippy sat in front of Neil's TV, wide eyed. They were playing one of the best multiplayer games for Gamecube: Super Smash Bros. Melee.

“ZELDA USES HER SMASH ATTACK AND SENDS ROY FLYING!” shouted Neil as he jammed the buttons. Zelda charged up an attack and hit Roy, and sure enough, Roy went flying.

“BUT ROY RECOVERS WITH HIS RECOVERY MOVE!” said Skippy as he quickly made Roy jump back onto the ledge.

“ZELDA THEN SENDS HER DIN'S FIRE ATTACK AND IT HITS ROY!”

“BUT ROY IS HARDLY EFFECTED! HE DASHES TO ZELDA AND STRIKES HER WITH HIS SWORD! SHE IS SENT INTO THE AIR!”

“BUT ZELDA SMASHES ROY INTO THE GROUND, GIVING HIM A MIGHTY ELECTRIC SHOCK AS SHE DOES!”

Skippy and Neil dropped the controllers, exhausted.

“I think we're getting more worn out than the people on screen,” said Neil. Skippy nodded weakly.

The doorbell rang. Skippy got up quickly and opened the door, revealing Julia and Raven.

Skippy motioned them to come in and went back to the Gamecube, anxious to keep beating Zelda into a pulp.

“What are you guys doing?” asked Raven as she sat on the floor in front of the TV.

“We're beating the crap out of each other,” said Neil, handing a controller to Julia. “What's it look like?”

Skippy handed another controller to Raven, but she just shook her head, showing that she didn't want to play. She didn't really play Nintendo that much, anyway.

“TEAM BATTLE!” shouted Julia, ending the match between Zelda and Roy. “I call Kirby!”

“Zelda again,” said Neil. Skippy chose Roy.

“Who shall we destroy this time?” asked Julia, looking at all of the many different characters.

“How about Pikachu?” Neil put the computer's token on Pikachu. The match began.

About five minutes into the match, Neil's mother came into the room. Now that the four Chao were practically a famous band, she didn't mind Neil hanging out with the Dark Chao as much as she did before.

“Neil, you got a letter,” said his mom as she threw it down to Neil. “I read it already. Grandma's sick and she wants you to come see her. She likes your company.”

“Aw,” said Neil. “But Mom! We're in the middle of beating the crap out of Pikachu!"

“I don't care. She wants you to come out to her house by five o'clock this afternoon.”

“What time is it now?”

“Four.”

“How long does it take to get there?”

“Two hours.”

“Poo.” Neil then perked up. “Can I bring the others?”

“I don't see why not. Just don't get on Grandma's nerves. You know how she freaks out. And take this basket of goodies with you.”

His mom threw him a basket of chocolates and left.

“We're going to need Bus,” said Neil, reaching for a phone. “I'm calling Iyou now. Shouldn't take long for him to get here . . .” The other three could hear the “We're sorry, but your call could not be completed as dialed” thing.

Neil slammed the phone on the hook and stood up. “Come on. We might as well get going.”

The others stood up too and followed him outside. Just as soon as they closed the front door, they could see a bus flying through the streets. The four Chao jumped for joy and ran towards the bus that pulled into Neil's driveway.

Bus's door opened and sure enough, Iyou was sitting in the driver's seat. He motioned for the Chao's to get in, and they did so.

“So, Iyou,” said Julia. “How did you know that we needed you?”

“Uh . . .” said Iyou, looking at them. “What do you mean? You guys need me?”

“Yeah,” said Neil. “Isn't that why you're here?”

“Actually I came to make you go to the convention that's in town.” He pulled out of the driveway. “They're showing off the world's largest hot dog today.”

The four Chao nodded. “So where do you guys need to go?”

“We need to get to my grandma's house,” said Neil. “She lives out in the woods somewhere. If you follow Mason Creek Road, we'll get into the woods and just have to follow the dirt road there.”

Iyou nodded.

“And step on it,” said Neil. “We need to get there by five o'clock.”

Iyou pointed at the clock. “It' four o'clock right now. How long does it take to get there?”

“Two hours.”

“Poo.” Iyou slammed on the gas pedals and Bus rocketed down the suburbs, hitting the occasional curb here and there.

“OK. I'm thinking of a movie,” said Julia, not caring to look at any of the forest scenery.

“Uh . . .” started Raven. “Is it an action movie?”

“No.”

“Is it a musical?” asked Skippy, looking out the window.

“No.”

“Is it a comedy?” asked Iyou, trying real hard to keep Bus on the small dirt road.

“Well . . . It has its moments.”

“Cool Runnings.”

“Right!”

A noise began to pour into Bus from outside. Smoke began to come into Bus from outside, too.

The five Chao coughed their way out of Bus and into fresh forest air outside, where they saw that Bus had steam coming out from under his hood.

Iyou threw open the hood. “Aw man!” he said. “The little turny thing is all like `WOOSH!' and the belt looking thing is all like `EEEEEK!'!”

“So what do we do now?” asked Julia, a little freaked out by their predicament.

“Well, Grandma's House isn't that far away from here,” said Neil, clutching his basket of goodies. “If we get there, maybe Grandma can let us borrow her Volkswagen or something.”

“Oh yay!” said Iyou. “I've always wanted to drive one of those!” He looked at his watch. “We need to hurry though. It's about four thirty, and by the time we get there it'll be well past five.”

Raven looked at the sky. “And well past dark.”

“EEK!” screamed Julia. “In the woods? In the dark?”

“Well, whatever,” said Neil as he started walking away from Bus. “I'm going.” Raven shrugged and followed him, followed by Skippy and Iyou. Julia stood there, freaking out, until Raven grabbed her and dragged her along.

“It's getting real dark now,” said Skippy, noticing how everything was turning into a deep blue. “We should probably head back for Bus. Maybe we can sleep in there or something.”

“Nah,” said Neil. “Grandma's House isn't too far from here. Maybe just a few more miles.”

“That's exactly what you said a few miles back!” said Julia, panting. “My feet hurt! And I'm hungry!”

“We could eat my Grandma's basket of goodies,” said Neil, looking at the basket filled with chocolate. Raven shook her head.

“I did that once. My grandma got mad as heck and threw me out of her house. Luckily there was a pond nearby to break my fall.”

“WOOOOOOOOOOOO . . .” came a voice from somewhere out in the brush.

“What was that?” asked Iyou.

“Probably just coyotes or something,” said Neil. “Too bad we don't have a donkey. They chase coyotes away.”

Julia giggled. “Donkey's are silly!”

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” The voice was louder and closer this time.

“EEEEEEEEEK!” screamed Julia as she hit the ground. “I WANNA GO HOME!”

“Aw, shut up,” said Raven, kicking Julia in the side. “We just need to keep on walking. Let's sing a song or something.”

Skippy began to whistle a cheery circus sounding tune while Raven hit her knees in time to the beat. Julia and Neil began to sing.

(A/N: You can hear a MIDI of this song at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Limo/3518/mr_kite.htm. It's real cool, and one of my favorites! The vocals are represented by horns, by the way.)

For the benefit of Mr. Kite

There will be a show tonight

On trampoline

The Hendersons will all be there

Late of Pablo Fanques Fair

What a scene!

Over men and horse

Hoops and garters

Lastly through hogshead of real fire

In this way Mr. K will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. K

Performs his feat on Saturday

At Bishopsgate

The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flies through the ring
Don't be late!

Mrs. K and H assure the public

Their production will be second to none

And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz!

Skippy whistled a short solo, while Neil whistled another one. Raven, Julia, and Iyou waltzed around in circles in sync, and then Neil and Julia started singing again.

The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. K performs his tricks

Without a sound

Mr. H will demonstrate

Ten somersets he'll undertake

On solid ground!

Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all

And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

“That's not part of the song,” said Skippy. He smacked Neil. “You ditz! You're adding lyrics again!”

“Wasn't me,” said Neil, innocently.

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

A bush near the five Chao began to rustle, and the five stared, wide eyed. Something came out of the bushes.

“ROAR!” it said as a wolf unveiled itself. The five Chao screamed.

“I smell goodies!” He pointed to Neil, who was clutching onto the basket for dear life. “You there! Weird alien thing! Give me the basket!”

“I can't!” said Neil, bravely. “They're for my sick grandmother!”

“Well boohoo!” said the wolf. “What's the bother? She's got to be like, what, 90 something already? She's going to die anyway!”

“But . . . why would you even want them?” asked Raven, staring at the wolf with confused eyes. “You're a dog, aren't you?”

“Uh . . . technically, yes!” said the wolf, striking a proud pose as he did.

“Well then, uh . . . Give him some chocolate, Neil.”

“Why?” asked Neil. Raven fwapped him.

“Just do it!”

Neil handed the basket of goodies to the wolf, which took it thankfully, then tore it open like a rabid wolf. That wasn't supposed to sound like a pun if you thought it was.

“OH YUMMERLY!” said the wolf as he tore into a Hershey bar. “OH! SO RICH! SO . . . ACK! MY HEART!”

The wolf clutched his heart. “I have been tricked by five little alien things! Oh! What a world!” The wolf fell to the ground and died.

(A/N: No animals were hurt in the making of this chapter. Thank you.)

Iyou walked over to the wolf and poked him. “Yeah. He's dead. Nice work Raven.”

“Yes Raven, nice work,” said Skippy. “Odd . . . but nice.”

“Can we go now?” asked Julia. “I feel like I'm being swarmed with bugs over here, and I want to get out of this freakin' woods.”

“Well, we're not too far off,” said Neil. He pointed to a small wooden cabin just about ten feet in front of them. The other four just stared blankly.

“You mean we could've just run to your Grandma's house instead of having to kill that little forest animal?” asked Raven. She fell to the ground. “I'VE KILLED A CREATURE FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!!!”

Julia grabbed Raven off of the ground, Skippy sighed, Iyou stared, and Neil knocked on the door.

“WHO IS IT?” asked an elderly voice from inside the cabin.

“It's me Grandma!” said Neil. “I've brought this nice little goodie basket for you!”

The door opened and the five Chao walked inside.

“Where in the world have you been?” asked Neil's grandma, an elderly Hero Chao. She grabbed a cane from the side of her bed and whacked Neil.

“I don't know how much more abuse I can take,” said Neil, rubbing the place where he had just been hit.

“And who are all of you?” she asked, pointing a hand at the other Chao. “No guests allowed!”

“These are my friends, Grandma,” said Neil. “We started a rock band, and we're famous now. Well . . . except for that guy. He's our bus driver.”

“Rock band, huh?” Grandma did not look too pleased. “All you stupid little kids with your gadgets and your . . . Rockem Sockem Robots and your lava lamps and all of that other stuff.” She fwapped Neil once again. “You're missing the Golden Girls! Sit down!”

Neil sat on the floor along with the other four as the Golden Girl's theme song began to play on the TV.

“Thank you for bein' a friend!” sang the theme song singer. Julia sang along, only to be fwapped on the head by Grandma's cane.

“No singin' when my shows are on!” she said angrily. “This is a classic, and it doesn't deserve to be interrupted by little runts like you!”

(A/N: I actually say stuff like that whenever I'm interrupted watching that show. It's so good!)

“This package has already been opened,” said Grandma, looking at her basket of chocolate.

“I know Grandma,” said Neil. “We were attacked by a wolf on the way over here, but we killed him.”

“Liar!” She fwapped Neil on the head. Neil passed out.

The other four gasped, but didn't say another word for fear of being knocked on the head as well. They continued to watch the Golden Girls.

“Ned was sort of the town idiot,” said Rose on the TV.

“When? On your days off?” asked Sophia.

“HA HA HA!” laughed Julia. “That Sophia! She gets funnier all the time! And so does . . . OW!” Julia clutched her head in pain.

“No laughing!” said Grandma, waving her cane at Julia.

“Charlie said he loved me more than grout!” said Rose.

“HA HA!” laughed Grandma.

“I thought you said we couldn't laugh,” said Iyou.

“I said you couldn't laugh,” Grandma replied sharply. “You little kids need to learn respect for your elders!”

“That's it!” said Julia, standing up and marching over to Grandma. “I don't care what you think anymore Grandma! Now if you can't just sit quiet and act like a decent human being, SO HELP ME I will see that you are going to be quiet with this!” She held up a role of duck tape. Grandma gasped.

“And I'll take this, too,” said Julia, grabbing Grandma's cane. She fwapped Grandma. “Bad.”

Iyou, Raven, and Skippy just stared at her as she walked back over to her seat on the floor. Then they continued to watch the Golden Girls, laughing whenever they wanted to.

“Bye lady!” said Iyou as he closed the door to Grandma's house, dragging Neil behind him. The four and the unconscious Neil piled into Grandma's Volkswagen and drove off, with a full tank of gas in the trunk for Bus and all kinds of stuff to help with whatever Bus needed.

That was one of the weirdest chapters I have written, I think. Well, anyway, if you guys can think of any pointless adventures to add to the fic, then please tell me in your Reviews. I'll appreciate it, really!
