[Lamia-Bitty Daily life!9]

/entitled parents/

Hello my Lamia lovers how are all of you, good I hope. Welp its that time again, a fair warning to everyone who has something that entitled people want. Yes thats right everyone another story about how low humans can sink for things they want.

And this....involves not just my boys but my friend Casey and her boi Zipper, a few others.....and a woman who will do ‘anything’ for her (more spoiled then two month old milk) daughter...even attempt to steal.

Ok folks on with the story:

So Casey had invited me an my boys out to eat with her, Zippy and boyfriend Roy. Now normally I don’t like going out with people but...Casey is a friend and she took the time to invite me. An given the fact I was stuck at home most of the time, an it wouldn’t hurt for my boys to go out too. So I agreed, she said wear something warm like a hoodie (or sweater depending) an to have something for my boys to keep warm with.

Now this was my first time meeting her boyfriend, she told me he’s an Exotic dancer. Yeah, yeah I know get those Magic Mike thoughts going, first time I met him....phew now I see why she likes him so much. He’s got a slender built body, abs you can grate cheese on and-...sorry that’s not important anyway he’s hot we’ll leave it at that. She introduces us and we move to the back, apparently Roy is friends with the owner and other workers here. He secured us a private venue in the back for us and the Lamia’s.

[this is before the lockdown and distancing]

Turns out the whole idea here was the beginning stages of a ‘Lamia party’. Sort of a way for Lamia owners to come together or a way for new people to meet who share a common love of snake like creatures. Right now it was in the planning stages an Casey wanted to start with just us an another individual. The restaurant is a sushi/hibachi place called Ryo Coast, very pretty place. Anyway our server and private hibachi chef is a friend of both Casey and Roy, his name is Juan an he brought his Lamia too, a beautiful Krait, full sized too.

{Lots of full-sizes around I noticed in my neck of the woods}

Juan an I really hit it off when he introduced our Lamias, turns out his Krait is named Virgil! I laughed when I told him Dante’s name, turns out he loves the Divine comedy as much as I do. It wasn’t just us who hit it off but Virgil, Dante and Chip REALLY hit it off well.

I had just ordered a lovely seaweed salad and was sharing it with my boys, everything was going great.....when we heard it...

“LAMIAS!!!”

We turn to see a girl, about 10 by the fence [the venue was outside] an was jumping all with joy seeing our kiddos. Now normally this wouldn’t be a bother for us, one of the things of owning a Lamia ya know? We give her a little wave an so do our boi’s before going back to our appetizers. I was about to feed more of my appetizer to Chip when the girl started yelling.

10yr: Come here!

I look to see Zipper slithering towards the girl but stopping half way when she yelled again, Casey didn’t notice so I get up and walk over and pick Zipper up before he got too upset.

10yr: Hey put him down I was gonna pet him!

Me: I’m sorry sweetie but he needs to eat-

10yr: GIVE HIM TO ME!

Yeah at this point the girl starts throwing a nasty tantrum, Casey had come over an taken Zipper back. [He got scared by the kid]

I roll my eyes and turn to walk back, we ignore the kids nasty behavior and tried to enjoy our food. I looked to see the girl had stomped off, though my gut told me this wasn’t the end of it. I turn to Juan and asked if there was someone watching the entrance outside, he assured me we were fine an the only way to the outside venue is through the owner. I was relieved somewhat, but my past two experiences with these people always leaves me edgy.

Dante was doing his best to calm me down by trying to get me to eat more of my appetizer, it worked and I was feeding him and Chip some avocado. It was a little too distracting cause I didn’t hear the ‘Ahem’ coming from the fence.

“AHEM!”

I heard it that time, I looked an there was the little girl again and now she had her mother. She was standing there with arms crossed, nose up in the air and smelling of the nastiest odor we all call ‘smug’. I look at her an already she was glaring daggers at me, Chip was tightening his grip on my arm.

[His way of telling me to ignore her, but once you make eye contact there’s no going back.]

I turn to Casey an let her know I’d be right back, now I should let you know I tend to forget things an I absentmindedly took my water with me while holding Chip in the other. I walk over but I keep my distance, you never know.

Me: Can I-

EM: Why didn’t you let my daughter pet your snake?

[Here we go...]

Me: Ma’am, we’re not comfortable with strangers petting our Lamias without permission an-

EM: I don’t care if your uncomfortable with it, your snake wasn’t!

Me: Ma’am the ‘Lamia’ your daughter wanted to pet isn’t mine, he belongs to my friend and she doesn’t want him approaching strangers without her-

EM: You were with him.

[Stop cutting me off woman....]

Me: {loosing patience} As I said, he’s not mine he belongs to my friend-

EM: Well your holding this one let my daughter pet him then.

Me: {well of patience has now dried up} No, we’re eating right now an I’m going back to eat please leave us alone.

At this point I was turning to go back when...I’m not joking the woman reached over and grabbed Chip by his arm and tried to yank him out of my hold. I panicked I admit an dropped my water breaking the glass, I pulled Chip into a bear hug as the woman tried to pull him out. I was about to yell when who should come to our rescue then the hero’s of the Divine Comedy.

Dante slithered up in front of me and ‘flared up’ at the woman before Virgil let out a loud ‘HISS’ for good measure. It worked an the woman let go, backing up with her daughter behind her. I sorta fall back on my butt when the woman let go, the others heard the commotion and ran up to help.

Chip was shaken up but alright, his arm was okay an so was his shoulder. Juan yelled he was gonna call the cops if she didn’t leave, the woman shouted back she was gonna do the same thing on us for ‘attacking’ her. But she turned tail when Juan mentioned the cameras.

Meanwhile I was shaking like a leaf, Chip was trying his best to calm me down with Dante. He was rubbing my back while Chip was rubbing my face with his hands, heck even Virgil was trying to calm me down too by rubbing my head. Once I settled down we all went back to our table, Juan had radioed his boss and let him know what happened. The owner came out to check on us an he said our meal was on the house tonight for the trouble, I politely refused it but he insisted.

After a little while we all were going back to eating, I asked Juan about Virgil, I noticed how he was quick to come to my aid. Now I’m not an expert but I do know Kraits tend to be more on the shy side. He told me that Virgil will only hiss he’ll never bite an he only does that when someone is in danger like I was in...or he perceives as danger. It was something the two of them worked on together, I thought it was sweet.

We finally started eating, I got sushi and grilled fish. Things were uneventful after that, dessert was ice cream mochi. We’d have to be careful about people like this from now on if we’re gonna do “Lamia parties” in the future. We’d need to reserve more private venues inside or something.

On a slightly higher note Juan gave me his number so we could schedule meetings for our Lamias, Virgil doesn’t get out much and he really seemed to like my boys and he likes hanging out with me, he also knows his boyfriend would love to hang out with me too so its a win-win for all of us.

Thats it for this story, to Lamia owners out there be very careful when going out you never know when someone might do something...also wear a mask and be safe.

76. The Blind Date

Perhaps the worst part about Sekkachi’s plan was that it forced her to be social. She didn’t particularly like people except for the obvious handful so finding the right man for the job felt like a huge hassle. Fortunately, she had Naru’s old address book complete with very opinionated commentary. She flipped through the pages, skimming the endless list of men in Konoha, before stumbling upon one whose involvement had to be foolproof. His name alone was enough to convince her. Now the only thing left was to convince Rei.

When she proposed the idea, it took all of Sekkachi’s strength to repress her shit-eating grin. This was going to be perfectly horrible. Rei was expectantly resistant. “You really need to start pulling yourself together” Sekkachi argued. “You’ve been spiraling for, like, three months. You need to get outside, get some fresh air, and get back into the dating game.”

“What could possibly make you think this is a good idea?” Rei argued. A blind date was not at all in her comfort zone nor her interests. “I’m not going through with this, absolutely not.”

Rolling her eyes, Sekkachi spat back, “And why not? It’s not like you’re currently unavailable.”

Her comment stung, but Sekkachi was right. Rei was technically single now. No, not technically—she was single now. There was no real reason for her to sit around romantically unoccupied. She forced herself to remember that she and Kakashi were incompatible, on totally different planes, and that they were forging separate paths now that forked away from one another. She was free of his companionship and therefore had absolutely no excuse. Sighing, she begrudgingly accepted the offer and, once alone, prayed she was not making a massive mistake. As Sekkachi strolled down the hall, she let herself finally grin with the delicious mischief of her underhanded work. This was truly going to be perfectly horrible.

The last thing Kakashi wanted was to arouse suspicion. The allure of that new book was far too strong, however, and so he would have no other choice but to resort to much sneakier methods. He carefully removed the dust jacket off a hardcover copy of Makeout Paradise and wrapped it around his new book, the fit a little wonky but good enough. No one was allowed to know what he was actually reading.

Konoha was quiet that afternoon, but the air was fresh and clear. Naruto would be preparing for his long journey off training with Jiraiya and Sakura was likely working hard under Lady Tsunade’s jurisdiction. He didn’t want to think about Sasuke’s studies. Rubbing the back of his neck, Kakashi walked along comfortably as he scanned anecdote after anecdote of lost love, sexual dissatisfaction, and advice on how to fix it all. He was just in the middle of a rather intriguing story of a man and woman trying to find comfortable sex positions during a trying pregnancy when he overheard an all-too-familiar voice from behind.

“Kakashi-sensei!”

Kakashi involuntarily shoved his book behind his back and whipped around to find Naruto and Sakura rapidly approaching. “Uh, hey, guys! What seems to be the trouble?” he asked, feigning innocence.

Naruto cocked a brow in suspicion, skirting around his sensei to try and see what he was hiding. Kakashi turned slowly in the same direction in hopes of deterring his student. Not that the cover of Makeout Paradise was all too unusual, but god forbid Naruto stole the book itself and saw what was really inside.

“We’ve been looking for you all morning!” Sakura explained. “We need your help with something.”

“Oh, right!” Naruto exclaimed, as if he had completely forgotten their entire mission. He giggled mischievously before rushing back to Sakura’s side and wrapping an overenthusiastic arm around her. “Sakura and I are going on a date!”

“Oh?” Kakashi asked. “Is that so?”

Naruto nodded excitedly, but the tension in Sakura’s jaw only heightened Kakashi’s suspicion. “Yep” Sakura replied through gritted teeth. “We’re going on a date alright.”

Smiling, Kakashi rested a hand on each of their heads and replied, “Good for you two! Nice to see you’re finally getting over Sasuke, Sakura.” The pink-haired kunoichi could only grit her teeth and grumble under her breath. She tried to remind herself how much she was getting paid to do this. As Kakashi started walking away, however, Sakura whipped around and snatched his wrist. His book nearly flew out of his hands, his heart pounding in his chest. The pages fluttered, revealing only a hint of the content inside.

“Kakashi-sensei, wait!” Sakura called. “We have a favor to ask of you.”

“What is it?” Kakashi asked, borderline exhausted already with the prospect. He almost didn’t want to know. He didn’t particularly want to involve himself in whatever antics they were getting into.

“Well, you see, the thing is…” Sakura started, skirting around the problem. “In order for us to go on this date, my parents insisted we have a chaperone but they’re both busy so they said we should ask you!”

“Yeah!” Naruto exclaimed. “We figured since you’re our sensei and all, you’d be the perfect choice!” Then, scooting in a little closer, Naruto whispered scandalously, “Besides, you’re far less strict than Sakura’s parents so I’m sure you’d let me get away with stealing a kiss or two, am I right, Kakashi-sensei?”

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and leaned away from his student, muttering something along the lines of “Don’t get so close!”

Meanwhile, the minute she overheard, Sakura charged forward grimacing, shouting “Naruto, you idiot!” while punching him hard on the arm.

It was really far too early to put up with their bullshit. Sighing, Kakashi shook his head and replied, “I don’t know if I really feel like playing the third wheel on your kindergarten date.” Amidst the chaos, however, his grip on his book had fallen slack and Sakura caught sight of the title of one of the chapters: Finding Time for Sex During Parenting.

Fortunately for her, working in the medical field now meant she was typically unfazed by matters of the human body but in the hands of her sensei, this was too rich. His pervy makeout books were one thing, but this was a whole different matter entirely. Was there something he wasn’t telling them? Of course she knew he and Rei had broken up, but was this more complicated than her thirteen year old brain should be privy to? She had no idea but either way, this gave her ammunition. A sly smile touched her lips as she rocked back and forth on her heels, asking in sing-song, “Hey, Kakashi-sensei? Is it a boy or a girl?”

Kakashi’s face went deadly pale and there was a glimmer in Sakura’s eyes that sent chills down his spine. “W-w-what do you mean?” he stammered.

“Yeah, Sakura, what do you mean?” Naruto asked, cocking a brow and wrinkling his nose in confusion.

Grinning, Sakura poked at the cover of Kakashi’s book, the slightly oversized dust jacket wrinkling beneath her fingertip, and replied sweetly “Just wondering.”

Fuck. She was onto him. Sweat beaded on Kakashi’s brow as he shoved the book into his back pouch then and pasted a fake grin on his masked face. “Alright, what time should I pick you kids up for your date? Just let me know when and where!”

Rei couldn’t believe she was actually doing this. She ran her fingers through her hair as she paced her apartment, trying to wrap her brain around what was happening. She never should’ve agreed to this. She wasn’t the type of person who went on dates with people she didn’t know. Not that she had ever really been on a date with anyone other than Kakashi. Her current circumstance was just a grave reminder that she was truly wading into unknown territory. She had no idea what to expect, how to act, what to wear. With Kakashi, everything came easily, naturally, but this? This was a whole separate beast.

She glanced to the clock, finding she only had ten minutes left until her date was set to pick her up. She gripped the edge of her desk tightly and sucked in a deep breath, anxiety welling up inside of her. She didn’t want to do this. Her eyes then skated to the blue cornflower on the windowsill and her heart leapt into her throat. Kakashi.

She had no idea how much time had passed in her panicked state when a sudden knock at the door brought her back to earth. Rei checked the time again—he was seven minutes early. Cursing under her breath, she pulled her hair back into the signature ponytail and slipped that floral haori on over her outfit as she rushed to the door. She tried to keep herself composed as she greeted her date for the night, met with perhaps the largest and burliest man she had ever seen. He looked her up and down and despite wearing three layers of clothing, in his gaze she felt totally and completely naked.

The restaurant, an intimate hibachi place geared more toward the wealthy and posh, was completely packed. Kakashi grimaced as he followed Naruto and Sakura inside, knowing full well there was no way Naruto could afford dinner at a place like this. Hell, he could barely afford Ichiraku. “Uh, Naruto…I don’t know if this is the best idea” he said with uncertainty. “You might need to reschedule your date…and find someplace cheaper.”

Naruto, however, was defiant. “No, it has to be tonight!” he insisted. “And it has to be here!”

“Did you remember to make a reservation?” Sakura asked, eyeing him critically.

Desperate to save face, Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and grinned. “Of course I did! I just have to walk up to the podium and let them know I’m here, and we should be seated soon!” With that, he confidently weaved through a gathering of rather stuck up adults straight to the hostess. He may have been a total idiot but Sakura had to admit, he had gumption.

Rei sipped her sake as she tried to get to know her date, but the trouble with hibachi restaurants was that there wasn’t much room for privacy. Especially when that hibachi restaurant was packed to the brim. Apparently there was some misunderstanding with the reservations of those scheduled to sit with them, therefore delaying service to their table, but it was no matter. Rei tried not to overthink it, forcing herself to instead be grateful for the brief moments alone with this man.

“I can’t even imagine how you do your job every day” the man said. His name was Attoteki Orokona and no, he would not let her forget it.

Rei laughed nervously and shook her head. “But I thought you were a ninja too?” she asked.

“Well yeah” Attoteki replied, “But you’re a woman! Being a shinobi just isn’t the type of job for the likes of you. I mean, what if every woman in the world decided to be a ninja? Women are scientifically the weaker sex, so you’d be at a disadvantage and then what would happen to the population? If you ask me, women ought to stay home and just pop out kids.”

“Uh-huh…” Rei replied quizzically. She wasn’t sure how to take any of this. Defeated, she took a rather large swig of her drink. Just then, a waitress approached to seat the rest of their table. Joining them were a young couple on what appeared to be a first date and their chaperone. So essentially a very young couple. It took Rei all of two seconds to comprehend that this was not just any couple, however. In fact, it was Naruto and Sakura. And with them as chaperone was Kakashi Hatake.

Attoteki glanced over to them and bid them a brief hello, hardly polite. If anything, he was rather bothered there were kids sitting next to him. He knew he’d have to censor himself for their sake, which was not at all his forte.

“Well, what do you know!” Naruto exclaimed, leaning across the table to grin at Rei. Taken aback, she nearly choked on her drink. Attoteki had to slam her hard on the back, sake spewing across the table. Kakashi cocked a brow in intrigue. Meanwhile, Rei’s face turned bright red. There was no way this was really happening.

“Do you know this kid?” Attoteki asked, pointing his thumb toward Naruto.

“Unfortunately, yes” Rei groaned, sinking into her seat. “Attoteki, this is Naruto Uzumaki and his teammate Sakura Haruno” she introduced, motioning toward each of them respectively. And then came Kakashi. Speaking for him was almost excruciating. “And this, for some reason, is their sensei who I’m sure you already know seeing as everyone else does.”

“I’m Kakashi Hatake” he greeted with a smile and wave. “But don’t mind me. I’m only here to make sure these two don’t get into trouble!” He tugged Naruto back into his seat by his shirt collar then and forced a grin on his face, muttering quietly, “Which he seems to already be pushing the limits of.”

Sakura rested her chin in her hands and peered past Attoteki to Rei, asking, “What brings you here? Are you on a date?”

Rei nodded slowly, “Yeah…something like that.” But it feels more like a death march, she thought to herself. This was merely confirmation that she had to be the unluckiest person on the planet. Really, what were the odds? This was almost too convenient.

Attoteki then stepped in, extending a brawny hand for a shake. “The name’s Attoteki Orokana” he greeted gruffly. “You’re a cute little thing, aren’t you? I bet you’d make someone a great wife someday.” Not even skipping a beat, Sakura shook his hand back with a sweet smile. Though he tried, it was hard to wipe the shock off his face at her grip. For someone so small, she was certainly much stronger than she seemed. Once she released his hand, he forced a confident smile to compensate and then eyed Kakashi, muttering, “Real cute kid.”

“She’s training to be a medic ninja under Lady Tsunade” Kakashi explained proudly.

Attoteki smirked and muttered under his breath, “Remind me not to piss her off before a surgery then.” As if he even expected to be operated on by a thirteen year old in the first place.

“So how long have you two been together?” Naruto then asked.

Attoteki wrapped a strong arm around Rei and replied confidently, “It’s just our first date, but something tells me we’re gonna have plenty more.” Kakashi’s sharingan eye twitched at the thought.

“Wow, so there are tons of things you don’t know about Rei yet then!” Naruto exclaimed.

Rei blinked, eyeing him suspiciously. As if he knew a ton of things about her. “Like what…?” she asked through gritted teeth. Deep down, she knew he would never get the cue to not actually answer.

“Well…” Naruto started. “She’s got a really short temper! And she’s real self conscious about her height. When I first met her, she nearly killed me for talking about how short she was and we got kicked out of a restaurant! She probably would’ve done me in, too, if Kakashi-sensei hadn’t restrained her.”

“So I take it you all know each other pretty well then, huh?” Attoteki asked. Naruto nodded enthusiasatically.

“Yeah, yeah! Believe it!” he insisted. “Kakashi-sensei especially!” Then, turning to his sensei, asked, “Say, how long were you two together, anyways?”

“Together?” Attoteki asked, arching a brow. He turned to Rei for an explanation.

Burying her face in her hands, Rei nodded slowly and replied, “Yeah…Kakashi is, uh…my ex-boyfriend, actually.”

She wasn’t sure exactly what kind of reaction she expected, but it certainly wasn’t this. A grin spead across Attoteki’s face then as he suddenly broke out in uproarious laughter, then reached across the table and clapped Kakashi hard on the back. “That’s too bad!” he exclaimed. “I guess you just couldn’t keep her satisfied, could you? Lucky for you, she’s in good hands now! Going out with a real man!”

Kakashi pursed his lips and leaned back to create some distance between himself and Attoteki. What did he mean a real man? Did this guy even have any idea of Kakashi’s death toll? Of his renown across the Five Great Nations? Meanwhile Attoteki hardly had a notable accolade to his name. He wanted to say something, but then thought better of it. It wasn’t worth his time.

Throughout the entire course of dinner, however, Kakashi’s patience was tested time and time again. Attoteki was perhaps the most abrasive person he had ever met. Loud, outspoken, overbearing, egotistical. Not to mention misogynistic. He overrided Rei’s order, insisting she get the vegetable platter rather than her preference of steak for the sake of her figure. “No girlfriend of mine is going to be walking around with a waistline that thick!” he laughed. Kakashi cringed. As far as he could tell, Rei was perhaps thinner than ever before. It was clear her eating habits the past few months were suffering, and he feared that if she didn’t do something soon, she would wither away to nothing. He ordered the steak for himself, resolving to likely slip her half of his plate as a courtesy.

Attoteki was a messy eater, scarfing down his food ravenously and chewing with his mouth wide open. Naruto grimaced as specks of chicken flew across the table in his wake. Disgusting.

Clearing his throat, Kakashi then interjected himself into the conversation, “So, Attoteki…” he asked. The man turned to him mid-chew and for a moment appeared totally primitive. Kakashi smiled nervously at him before continuing. “How did you and Rei meet?” he asked.

“It’s actually a blind date!” Attoteki answered. Oh thank god, Kakashi thought to himself. The past few months had him questioning how well he really knew Rei but he was at least positive she never would’ve gone for a man such as this on her own accord. Attoteki then wrapped an arm around his date and tugged her close, planting a sloppy kiss on her cheek and adding, “And boy am I glad I agreed! I mean, look at the set on her! The only rack bigger in Konoha is on Tsunade herself!”

Rei’s face burned bright red as she tried to ignore the man’s remarks. It was clear to Kakashi, however, that she was losing it. Narrowing his eyes, he then asked, “Is her body really all you care about?”

Looking back at him dumbly, Attoteki asked, “What else is there?”

Sakura knew this was not her battle to fight but she couldn’t stand to just sit there and let all of this fly over her head. “What about her brain?” she asked. “Or her skill?”

Attoteki grunted and shook his head. “That’s real funny” he replied, but after a few moments of silence it occurred to him that they were dead serious. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and explained, “Listen, the worst thing a woman can do is educate herself. She reads books and then she starts getting these ideas and learning big words and then she gets argumentative and you’ve gotta put her back in her place. The world would be better off if women just stuck to what they knew and let the men handle the big stuff.”

“Stick to what they know?” Sakura asked. She could hardly keep the offended expression off her face. “Like what?”

Swatting at the air, Attoteki replied as he took another bite, “You know. Feminine stuff. Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.” Then, nudging Rei in the shoulder, he added, “I’m sure you’d be great at that. You’ve got great birthing hips—I’m sure you could pop out at least five with no problem!”

Kakashi’s face went deathly pale. His eyes skated to the empty glasses on the table—apparently not only was Rei’s date absolutely unbearable but he was a total drunk, too. He had already been through four glasses of sake and was nearly finished with a fifth. If he continued, Kakashi didn’t even want to think about what this scum might do to Rei. Clearing his throat, he replied sharply, “I can’t help but feel like you need to get your priorities in order. Rei is far more than just a vessel for your personal satisfaction.”

Grimacing, Attoteki took a long swig of his drink and fired back, “Well, I don’t really think your opinion on the subject matters much. You had your chance with her and you failed, so now it’s my turn.”

Peering past the brute man, Kakashi looked at Rei then and asked, “Does he make you happy?”

Before she could say anything, however, Attoteki interrupted. “Happy?” he laughed. “She should be more concerned with whether or not I’m happy! That’s the important thing here.”

“So you have absolutely no regard for her feelings whatsoever?” Kakashi asked him.

Attoteki laughed. “No wonder you failed in pinning her down. You don’t understand a damn thing about how these sorts of things work.”

“I understand far more than you think” Kakashi replied. Naruto noticed how much tighter the copy ninja was gripping his chopsticks, the invisible temperature gauge in his head escalating exponentially. Things were about to get really bad.

Attoteki, however, seemed to recognize none of the impending doom. Turning to Rei, he pulled her close and said, “Can you believe this guy? He’s fucking delusional! It’s a good thing I came in and saved you when I did or else you’d be done for. Can’t let a sweet little thing like you go to waste.” The scent of alcohol was strong on his breath and his hand began to wander to places it shouldn’t go. She could feel him grip her waist tightly, as if fully prepared to snap her pelvic bone should she resist. And that was when Kakashi snapped.

“Let her go” he growled, narrowing his eyes.

“This is none of your concern” Attoteki spat over his shoulder. “I already told you, this little babe is mine now.” Then, turning to Rei, he whispered drunkenly, “Isn’t that right?” Her heart leapt into her throat and for a moment she was convinced she was going to be sick. His voice sent shivers down her spine.

Kakashi turned to Naruto and Sakura then, insisting they step outside. “I don’t want you to see what’s about to happen” he added. Naruto protested, but Sakura knew better than to test Kakashi right now. She gripped the jinchuriki’s wrist and tugged him at least into the restaurant lobby. Deep down, she, too, yearned to see what was about to happen.

The minute they were out of sight, Kakashi stood and approached Attoteki at the other end of the table. “I’m only going to say this one more time: let her go.”

“Or else what?” Attoteki scoffed. “You’ll slap my wrists? Back of the line, kid. Come back and fight me when you’re a real man.”

Sighing, Kakashi knew then that he had no choice. Lifting his ninja headband, he revealed his glaring sharingan and yet even then, Attoteki did not understand the full weight of the situation. “I really don’t want to have to do this” Kakashi said.

Rei shook her head frantically, whispering hoarsely, “Kakashi, please don’t. It’s fine. Really.” But it wasn’t fine. She hated how frozen she was in Attoteki’s unyielding embrace, how she couldn’t bring herself to fight back even if she wanted to. She was fully aware that if she didn’t, however, she would have no choice but to be on the receiving end of Kakashi’s heroism and that almost scared her more than anything Attoteki would do. So much for independence.

Attoteki rolled his eyes and refused to budge. “What good is that going to do?” he asked. “I doubt you can use that thing properly, you’re not even an Uchiha.”

“Want to bet?” Kakashi asked, voice low and serious. Attoteki stared back at him, confidence unwavering. This was the start of the end. What began as a basic blind date had turned into an all-out war in the middle of the restaurant. With one swift motion, Kakashi lunged forward with kunai drawn, stopped only by Attoteki’s strong grip.

“What are you going to do?” the brute man asked. He hugged Rei closer to his body, adding, “If you take me out, she goes down with me.”

“You underestimate her ability” Kakashi growled. He glanced to Rei knowingly and her entire body nearly collapsed. He hadn’t looked her in the eyes like that in so long. She didn’t think she could do as he asked of her, but his gaze insisted that she at least try. That no matter what, he believed in her. Pursing her lips, she gave one definitive nod.

While Kakashi had him distracted, Rei kneed Attoteki in the crotch, releasing his grip on her. She slid across the table, the hibachi grill still hot, and slipped next to Kakashi. Involuntarily, she pressed her back against his and their fingers intertwined, their chakra mingling. It had been so long since they used this jutsu, and the sensation of their chakra sent her heart racing. She reminded herself to keep her anxiety at bay, however. For this to work, she’d need precise control. In a matter of minutes, their chakra surrounded them in a blue glow, reaching optimum power. A ball of lightning formed in Kakashi’s palm as he raced forward and trapped Attoteki inside of an electic cage, Rei leaping over her ex-boyfriend from behind to smother the dome in a barrage of water. The entire room went blinding white for a split second and then there was nothingness.

Attoteki coughed into his elbow, blood spurting from his lips, as he tried to refocus his vision. Standing over him was Rei with a sharp glare on her face. He could hardly comprehend what had just happened. “Y-you’re…insane!” he croaked.

A satisfied smile touched Rei’s lips as she knelt down to punch Attoteki square in the face. “Do us all a favor” she started, “and next time, don’t underestimate the power of a woman. I can do way more than just pop out kids.”

Attoteki growled and tried to stand up to apprehend her but it was no use. He was completely immobilized. “Y-you’re going to regret this..!” he insisted.

Rei pursed her lips thoughtfully for a moment, then shook her head. “You know what? I really don’t think I will” she laughed. “But really, this is all for the best. It never would’ve worked out between us. You may be a man, but you’ll never be respectable.” And with that, she stood up and approached the restaurant lobby.

Kakashi fed the unfortunate soul one last glare before following Rei, but when he turned around he was merely met with a glare from the hostess. “We’ll, uh…we’ll pay for the damages” he said, rubbing the back of his neck and smiling sheepishly. The hostess merely rolled her eyes and pushed past him to try and clean up the debris. And the restaurant truly was in absolute shambles. Chairs were knocked over, some even launched through windows, ceiling lights were hanging on by a single perilous wire. If he didn’t know any better, Kakashi would assume the place was struck by a massive earthquake. Fortunately, the lobby was relatively unscathed. As he stepped out into the open space, Rei pressed a hand to her forehead and sighed. The harikenkeji took a lot out of her, and her chakra was likely extremely depleted. He swooped in and caught her just as her knees buckled, his cheeks tinting red. “Are you okay?” he asked.

She lingered in his grasp for a moment longer before regaining her footing and composing herself. “Yeah…yeah, I’m, uh…I’m fine” she said. She could hardly meet his gaze. The feel of their chakra intertwining still had her reeling and dizzy. She didn’t want to think about it.

Naruto and Sakura rushed toward them then, overflowing with excitement. “Well, what happened?” Naruto asked. “Did you beat his ass? Did you guys work things out? Are you back together?”

That last question was what truly gave them away. Kakashi cocked a brow and stared down at them, beginning to unravel their plan. “Alright, you two. What are you hiding?” he asked.

“Hiding?” Sakura asked. “We’re not hiding anything! Honest!”

Rei scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Yeah, okay. You really need to work on your lying, kid.” Sakura frowned and recoiled, completely called out.

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead. “What have I told you two about meddling in other people’s love lives?”

“…Not to do it” Naruto murmured. “But this is different!” he then shouted. “You guys should be together! We don’t even know why you broke up in the first place!”

“Yeah!” Sakura added. “We just want you guys to be happy, and we know you were so happy when you were together! This whole thing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”

“Relationships are…complicated” Rei explained slowly. She really didn’t think they owed these kids an explanation, but she knew neither of them would hear the end of it if they just let things go. “Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you think they’re going to, and you just have to make peace with it and…and move on.”

Kakashi nodded. “Rei is right” he agreed. “You can’t force what’s not meant to be, and in our case it just wasn’t in the cards.” God, he hoped he sounded convincing. He glanced to Rei, terrified she would see right through his lies.

Naruto shook his head and kicked at the ground. “Well if you ask me, if you love someone you should never leave them no matter what! Whatever the problem is, there has to be a way to work through it! Believe it!”

Sighing, Rei shook her head and placed a hand on top of Naruto’s head. “I’m sure you’ll understand when you’re older” she replied. “For now, just…accept that some things are out of your control.”

Defeated, Naruto and Sakura disappeared down the street that night feeling as if all their hard work had gone to waste. The young jinchuriki placed his hands behind his head as he walked, pouting up at the sky wondering what they had done wrong and if it was their fault or if Rei and their sensei were just stubborn, dumb, and blind. They were meant to be together, they had to be. Staying apart was only going to cause more trouble. A hiss from down an alleyway captured their attention, and the two kids ducked into the darkness to relay the results of their mission.

Rei shook her head, laughing in disbelief, as she wrapped her haori shut tight. “So much for a pleasant night out” she commented.

“Sorry” Kakashi apologized. “I never intended to hijack your date.”

“No” Rei countered. “It’s fine. That’s not the part I’m sad about. I just wish things hadn’t gone so haywire, you know?”

“Yeah…” Kakashi replied. After a few beats of silence, however, he added, “I was glad I was there, though.” Rei cocked a brow and looked at him curiously, terrified of what he was bound to say next. “I know we’re not together anymore but…I still care very deeply about you, Rei. I want you to be happy and safe. I’m glad I was there to protect you when things started to go downhill.”

Frowning, Rei turned away and murmured, “I don’t need you to protect me, Kakashi.” The copy ninja averted his eyes and rubbed the back of his neck. He should’ve known she would say something like that. Before he could respond, however, she then added, “But thank you. I appreciated your help tonight. And that combo attack…”

“It’s been a while” he said with a bittersweet smile.

“Yeah…” she murmured. “That was…that was really something else.”

Another beat of silence passed before he then turned to her, locking eyes with her, and the whole world felt like it was about to explode. “Do you want me to walk you home?” he asked.

She paused and deliberated for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah…yeah, that would be fine.” A small smile touched his masked face as he ushered for her to walk alongside him.

In the alleyway, Naruto groaned and complained about everything that went wrong that night. Sekkachi, however, seemed totally unfazed. “You did a good job” she assured the kids. “This went exactly as planned.”

“That was your plan?” Sakura asked. She shook her head in disbelief. “But they’re still not back together! What are we supposed to do now?”

“I wouldn’t be so quick to judge” Sekkachi protested, then pointed out to the street. “We can’t expect them to fall into each other’s arms overnight. Sometimes you have to mix the cough syrup into the applesauce in order for the baby to take it.”

“…What?” Naruto asked, cocking a brow.

“Nevermind” Sekkachi shook her head. “Just look.”

Naruto and Sakura turned their gaze in the direction of Sekkachi’s finger, watching as Rei and Kakashi passed by slowly. They walked beside one another, an air of tension surrounding them as they chatted casually. Perhaps there was hope after all. If they looked close enough, they could catch their fingers twitching to interlock. A satisfied smirk touched Sekkachi’s lips as they disappeared into the night. Slowly but surely, things were finally coming together.

CHAPTER 5 - Burn Up The Beat

Sandy was lying in the frigid cold lake of water, her biggest weakness. Tips of her body turned blue as crystals of ice encased her body, rendering her incapacitated. Mario and heroes rushed down.

"W-Water..." she cried. "It's so COLD!"

"Alright, Sandy." Mario sternly ordered. "How and why did you and Blizzy attack us with storms?"

"I..." she got out, before beginning to shiver and coughing up some water. "We...were given powers...from Lava Queen. She granted us them with Spawny's powers."

Mario's eyes widened.

"She's behind this?"

Sandy did her best to nod.

"Yeah."

"B-but, S-Spawny's supposed to be a Toadette's place!" Peach stammered. "How could Lava Queen get a hold of him!?"

Sandy started to freeze up.

"I don't know...Please get me out!"

The heroes looked hesitant on helping her.

"I won't hurt you! I can't even use my powers anymore from the water!"

Mario and Rabbid Mario grabbed her arms and pulled her out which Peach grabbed a blanket. Sandy was frozen from the waist down.

"Wow, frozen solid."

"What should we do with her?"

"She stays here whilst the Rabbid Recon team locate her sister. They'll be both taken for questioning." suggested Peach. "We'll leave a good amount of blankets on her so she doesn't freeze to death. I'll alert the Recon of her presence. Right now, we need to find the other four, Rabbid Peach, Luigi, Rabbid Yoshi and Beep-O.”

"Wait, are we sure they're in Sherbet Desert?" Rabbid Luigi asked. "I remember the cannon didn't fire all of us in the first shot."

"Now that you mention it, the cannon tilted on the east, after I was launched." Mario agreed. "We were all sent to different places."

"I think they could be in Spooky Trails, that place is perpendicular to Sherbet Desert!" suggested Peach.

"How are going to get there?" asked Yoshi.

"There's a river that does connect the desert to Spooky Trails, if we can find a boat, we could ride the journey there." Mario said.

"Let's find one! I saw some drifting past on the river!" exclaimed Rabbid Mario.

"Be careful not to fall in." warned Yoshi.

Mario's job was done in Sherbet Desert. Now, the heroes needed to move onto Spooky Trails.

⋆

Meanwhile, in Lava Queen's domain, she was looking admirably at Spawny, both terrified and confused on what was going on.

"Progress is booming." she laughed. "Never thought I'd experience this! My kingdom is one step closer!"

Spawny was trapped in a container which was connected to a device along with other containers of lava and metal.

"It's time for Lava Pit, to continue operations!" she announced. "We must bring the Rabbids here!"

"What's the plan, your Highness?" inquired Magma.

"We set up a decieving dance party, no Rabbid can turn down an invite like that. Next, you and the Lava Kids must activate this tape to disorient them." Lava Queen grabbed a cassette and handed it to Magma. "Bwario and Bwaluigi will sort out the Rabbids and bring them to the decommissioned factory where we will recreate the army that Bowser Junior had!"

Magma saluted and ran to order the Lava Kids. As she did, Lava Queen turned to Spawny.

"You know, I had devotion once. I wanted to experience having the dream of ruling an empire, just like Peach. But sadly, not everyone gets that. And to get royalty, you must deal with the royalty."

Spawny rapidly shook his head, he knew he wasn't going along with Lava Queen's plans. And quite frankly, Lava Queen knew he wasn't going to obey easily.

"I see, if you can't follow my plans..." Lava Queen sneered. "I'll make you."

Lava Queen snap her fingers and a large metal hand appeared to grab Spawny, who was helpless to defend himself.

"I think you'll need to become accustomed to me, and what better option is to brainwash you?" she smirked as Spawny was snatched away to which she laid back on her throne.

"This will run smoothly."

Bwario and Bwaluigi were in their quarters, waiting for their given tasks.

"I hope we're getting paid an awful lot for this." Bwario said, eating a whole garlic. "Installin' that cannon wasn't cheap."

"Hold it, I'm getting a task from the boss..." Bwaluigi noted as he looked at the computer screen flashing above them. "Begin, operations in the foundry?"

"Well then, the Lava Kids are doin' their part, we might as well do ours."

Lava Queen took a look at Peach's diary, it was time to uncover the castle's secrets. She opened the book and began to read. As she did, she had a devillish look on her face.

"This castle ROCKS!" she remarked. "We are so raiding it."

Meanwhile in Toad Town, flyers were set up through the streets. Each of them read;

"Dance Party at the LAVA PIT! Burning Up The Beat!"

The Lava Kids hid in a hedge as the Rabbids and Toads gathered around, taking a flyer each. They looked pretty interested.

"It's working! They're gonna be coming to Lava Pit!" Sizzle cheered.

"SHHH! Don't blow our cover!" hissed Hibachi.

As soon as word spread of the party, a crowd of Toads and Rabbids made their way out of Toad Town and on their journey to the pit. With that, the streets of the Peach's castle were deserted.

"That's done it." remarked Magma. "Let's go, team! We gotta alert the queen!"

The gang raced to the castle. By the time they arrived, the castle was fully alert and there were patrolling Toads and Rabbids everywhere.

"How are we gonna get them out?" asked Sizzle.

"We'll come back. It's too soon for this phase." responded Magma.

The gang went back to the factory and sure enough, the Lava Kids were already hard at work. A large dance hall was set up with many of the decorations in Lava Queen's likeness. A large group of Rabbids were dancing to a very loud beat, while the Lava Kids were standing around watching them with huge grins on their faces.

"Well, they're dancing." remarked Magma.

Through the sea of dancers came Bwaluigi, carrying a box of earmuffs. He made his way through the crowd with ease and gave each Lava Kid a pair of earmuffs.

"Next song is the brainwashing tape. Do not take them off." he ordered. He took a look at his watch.

"It's time."

The next song played, with a distorted and eerie tone, with uneven rhythms and harsh noise. The Rabbids and Toads dancing to the music felt sick and even looked like they were all hypnotized. Bwario walked in with a pair of earmuffs on, he carrying a boom box playing the tape.

"Obey me, Bwario! I am your master!" Bwario shouted. "Follow me to the foundry, it's time for your initiation!"

The Rabbids and Toads followed Bwario like mindless sheep, into the entrance of a factory where they were dumped onto a conveyor belt. Bwaluigi was in another room, through a viewing window, he activated a lever.

"Operations begin now!" he shouted as the lever was pulled and the door shut.

Can I Just Sleep Now?

How you doin’ ;)

SO yeah this has been a SUPER busy week, hence the late post (again). I think I have a bit to talk about? But we shall see how it all plays out as I delve deep into the depths of my oh so dark soul...haha nah let’s keep it light here. As a note to start this post out, I feel very businessman-like as I sit here in the midst of my flight from Knoxville to Newark, sitting in my window seat as time and countless unknown lives take their course miles below me. I am also listening to some good old Hamilton, but I digress (which is all we ever do) so let’s go, shall we?

Last week may have been one of the worst, yet fun, yet college life, yet emotional weeks in a long while. As you know, last week was midterms and I had 3 exams, and 2 full papers due; one major grade for every day, no joke. On top of that, I was cramming/studying every waking moment that I wasn't sleeping or in class. I probably averaged around 4 hours of sleep a night (nothing compared to our wild DJ). I feel like things went pretty well, as well as I could hope. I must admit, I feel bad about my English paper. I know I will get a pretty good grade, hopefully a solid A, but I know that I could have done much better on it. I didn't even get to send it to you because I was busy studying for everything else, leaving no time to write/finish that paper. I turned it in like 4 minutes before the due date on Friday. The only good thing is that I have one opportunity to this semester to do a rewrite on a paper, so if I don't get the grade I want on it, I will probably refine it. So yeah, moral of the story, study early and often so that you have time to do the crappy homework assignments professors still give you during midterm week.

Now for the good things I have experienced since my last post. One of my friends here (I would consider him one of my closest friends here) got a visit from his girlfriend from back home over the weekend. She was really cool and even though one would think that they would want to spend their time alone, they were really cool with hanging out with all of us. But the thing I want to tell you about is this AMAZING burger place that I will take you too someday. Write this down and never forget it, it is called Burger Republic. You are going to LOVE this place. MILKSHAKES, BURGERS, AND TATER TOTS OH MY!!!!!

Later this week, some friends and I created a fantasy baseball group and drafted our teams. I know you could care less, but there are stakes to this one. One of our friends has no idea what he is doing and knows nothing about baseball, so to get him to play with us, we made a bet with him. Now when I say “we” I mean myself and another friend who is as much into baseball as I am, so we know our stuff. Now the bet is that if our friend beats me at the end of the season, he gets to shave my head, and you know how big of a deal that is for me! And for my other baseball friend, if he loses, then our “dumb” friend gets to put any tattoo of his choice on the other guy’s body, in any spot! The only stipulations are that there cannot be any profanity and it must be clean enough for his mom to be able to see it and not be offended. Now you have to admit this is gonna be pretty fun to watch!!!

“I come back with more guns and ships...and so the balance shifts...” <------ the Hamilton quote that was just sung. Just thought you would like to know.

Back to the week! I have created and installed a few new Olympic events. Well really some events for the nonexistent Olympic games back at school amongst my friends. They are the Eraser Toss (gotta make a whiteboard eraser onto the whiteboard ledge, super hard but I am surprisingly good at it), the Shoe Toss (fling your shoe off your foot and into the garbage can from across the room), Footsie Marker (this one would kill you bud, let me explain. The competitor places a dry erase marker in-between his/her toes and then kicks his/her leg up as high as it can and make a mark on the whiteboard. I almost broke my toes when I tried to jump/flip and get a really high mark. I fell straight on my back and it was really fun), and now my personal favorite....THE TABLE LUGE!!!! (It stems from a mini game a friend and I were doing which involves an industrial sized Purell bottle and pump and trying to see who can squirt it the farthest. The Purell got all over the table, so we flipped in over and rubbed the top all over the carpeted ground to clean it, but I discovered that these tables glide very well over carpet, so I made a suggestion. The goal is to see who can ride the table the farthest after pushing it a certain distance and then hoping on as you ride to glory and fame). As you can see, things get pretty idiotic at school as we try to entertain ourselves.

And now onto my final news of the week. IT’S SPRINGBREAK TIME!!!! So I just spent this weekend in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/the Smokie Mountains with friends. One of my friends lives here so we crashed at her house Friday night after driving like 4 hours. Fun fact: her family owns a hotel...Suite Life of Zach and Cody am I right?! Funner fact: she has a pet bunny named TRIXIE!! Man I miss that smelly old dog. But I did something you will be supremely jealous of on Saturday. I went hiking in the Smokie Mountains and I got some great pics, but man did my buns burn! (Yeah, buns and thighs.) It was gorgeous and I wish you could've been there with me. Maybe the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. We hiked to this lookout called Charlie’s Bunion. Then we got hibachi and checked into our AirBnB place. If you ever wanna travel somewhere but don't wanna stay in a hotel, check out AirBnB. 10/10 would recommend. All this while, I have still gotten all but like 3-4 hours of sleep on pull out beds and giant bean bags and recliner chairs.

Hamilton update: “Thomas Jefferson’s coming hoooooome!!! Lord he’s been off in Paris for so long...”

I am super pumped to just hang out on the beach and read some MacBeth again for my writing class (miss having English class together). But more so, I am glad I get to see my parents again. On another note, I just wanna say how proud I am of you and how happy I am for you. Nothing makes me happier than knowing my best friend is growing in his relationship with God. It isn't something that we talk a lot about in our friend group back home, but it makes me happy to see people who can understand another level of me and what I grew up in. Some day I would love to pick your brain about it all. But in the meanwhile, keep it up and know you are always in my prayers.

Now to answer your question, “what do I look forward to in life?” That is simple, family. When I say family, that includes more than my blood family, it includes you and Lysssssss and your families. I look forward to having an amazing wife that is way better of a person than I am and someone who deservedly can be called my better half. I look forward to seeing my kids run around, figuring out life and who they are, what interests them, and just watching them grow. I look forward to living by my best friends and seeing how we all go on vacations together and are kids develop relationships like we have, although I think what we have is special and REALLY weird. I look forward to bringing my kids to my parents house where I grew up and complaining to my mom about how much she spoils my kids and seeing my dad turn from my dad into grandpa, or pappy, or papa for my kids. I look forward to seeing my brother get married and start his family. Gosh I'm starting to cry as I type this. The person next to me must be wondering what is going on with me ahaha. So yeah, that’s what I look forward to in life.

Hamilton update: “Lord, show me how to say no to this....” love this song even though it is so sad.

Question and recommendation time!!! Let’s see what I got this week, if you could do anything with any superhero, what would it be and who would be your superhero? Recommendation for the week, go out and lose yourself in nature. It really hurts physically, but feels amazing and you get to see the fruits of your labor (haha accidental nature pun!). So I hope you have a great week before spring break and sorry this got so long. Hope you enjoyed it. Love you man.

Hasta la vista baby,

the doc

CHAPTER 3 - Dust Desserts

Lava Queen turned to Bwario and Bwaluigi.

"Any info on where Mario could be?" she asked.

The two henchmen checked the drone's footage that recorded the moment the cannon malfunctioned.

"Yessir, accordin' to the direction, they went North West." responded Bwario.

"Sherbet Desert..." Lava Queen's eyes narrowed. "I know the Rabbids to keep him busy."

Meanwhile at Toadette's house in Toad Town. She and Spawny were hard at work making a garden.

"This'll give me the chance to thank you!" Toadette said, smiling. "This is amazing! Even I couldn't have done this!"

Spawny happily beamed, they did put an effort into the garden. It was a calm activity, which unless involved Piranha Plants, didn't provide any stress to the bunny. The colours were bright, and the patterns where fun. It was like a cute little paradise. There was a sharp knock at the door. Toadette heard it and went to it. A large towering figure in a trenchcoat with a gas mask stood there.

"Hello...'' They spoke. "You must be Toadette."

"Yes, who are you?"

"Let's just say I'm...an acquaintance of Princess Peach."

"Oh, you know her?"

"Indeed, I'm here to explain to you that she along with others have gone missing."

"W-what?"

"We would like to know if a Rabbid named Spawny is okay. Just in case the Princess concerns him."

Toadette's eyes widened.

"Y-yes! I'm sure he's fine! He always works so hard to please her!"

"I see..." the figure in the gas mask nodded.

Toadette took the figure to Spawny who was busy planting carrots.

"Spawny, I have a visitor who wants to know about you."

"Ah, this is Spawny."

Toadette nodded as Spawny's smile began to shrink as he saw the figure.

"Now Toadette." began the figure. "It's time to tell the truth."

"What truth?"

"This is all a ploy done by us."

The figure writhed around before it's trench coat burst open, revealing that it was a trick by the Lava Kids. Magma, who played the head of the figure, threw a sachet of sleeping powder at Toadette, causing the poor Toad to fall to the ground. After she was done, she pointed at Spawny.

"Get him!"

Sizzle charged at Spawny who tried to escape from the Lava Kid's clutches.

Spawny, now terrified, fired a blast of SupaMerge energy at Sizzle, who in narrowly dodged.

"Woah, he's a fiesty one!"

The rest of the Lava Kids went after Spawny, which ended with Magma grabbing him by his ears.

"Mission accomplished!" she victoriously remarked, staring evilly at Spawny.

"Hey, what do we do about the Toad girl?" asked Hibachi, putting his foot at Toadette's head.

"Tie her up. We can't let her roam free." ordered Magma. "Our job is done here. We report back to the queen." The Lava Kids left Toadette's house with Spawny now contained in a jar.

⋆

Later, in Mario and Rabbid Luigi's case, they had been sliding down dune after dune in the Sherbet Desert. The mountain was up ahead but no path to climb it. The only option that Mario had was to go around it and climb the path it had from there. A redeeming thing about Sherbet Desert was whenever it felt hot, Mario could shift to the other side to cool down. Though Beep-O had listed other reasons on why it was his place of choice over the other 3 areas. One of them being that it had unique and strange things to see.

Mario could see that, some of the formations in the desert where surprisingly well shaped. A path also came into view alongside it. It might be a good idea to follow it and see where it led.

"Let's follow it." Mario said to Rabbid Luigi.

Before they could set foot, they felt two gusts of wind. Behind them was a sandstorm which was enveloping nearby cacti.

"We need to get out of here." said Mario.

As the storm got worse, the path began to fade.

"We need to find shelter!" shouted Rabbid Luigi, grabbing onto Mario.

"I can't see!" cried Mario, putting his hands up to shield his eyes.

Rabbid Luigi grabbed a nearby mushroom to block the sand out. They found a crevice in the side the mountain and took cover. When their vision cleared, they saw a figure standing over them. A rabbid embedded in a tornado encased with rocks and cacti. It was Sandy, one of the two Rabbids that had previously attacked Mario and friends during the first trip in Sherbet Desert.

"Sandy!? I thought we took care of her and Blizzy last time we were here!" said Mario.

"I guess they're back for revenge!" Rabbid Luigi cried.

"I've been waiting for this moment since we last fought. The first time was weak, this time, it'll be more fun." Sandy said. She lit up a cactus grenade and lobbed it at the two. It exploded right next to them, rocking their heads back.

"Agh! That stings!" cried Mario.

"Me too! My ears are ringing!" cried Rabbid Luigi.

"Quick, get our weapons!"

Mario rushed to get out his Blaster whilst Rabbid Luigi got out his Bworb.

"I don't think so!" called out Sandy. She summoned a sandstorm and pushed it towards them. The winds began to pick up, blowing the two back until they were close to the edge of a crevasse.

"I can't fight a sandstorm!" cried out Mario.

"Grab my hand!" shouted Rabbid Luigi. "We need to stick together!"

The two did their best to try and grab on to each other's hands but the strong wind was being thrown around, trying its best to pull them away. The storm was also beginning to engulf the crevasse. Mario felt the sandstorm pick him up with Rabbid Luigi pulling him back. He was almost to the edge of the crevasse with the ledge right below him.

"Come on!" he shouted, as loud as he could.

Then, an idea came to Rabbid Luigi's head. He fired a shot at Mario, which the force of the shot pushed him away from edge and onto safer land.

"Yes! I knew the Push effect would save us!" he cheered. However his celebration was cut short upon seeing a faint image of Sandy looming above them.

"Ha ha ha! Stop pretending to be brave, Rabbid Luigi!" she laughed. She summoned another cacti grenade and threw it right at them. Mario grabbed his hammer and swung back, deflecting the grenade at Sandy, stunning her in the process.

The sandstorm began to clear up, giving Mario and Rabbid Luigi the opportunity to escape. They ran a far distance from Sandy who was struggling to gain back momentum before Mario turned back. The two had run past some boulders that were cleared from the path and wedged into another crevice. Mario aimed his blaster at the boulders, knocking them onto the path and causing a blockage.

"That will keep her busy." He panted, turning back to the path. "We need to keep going."

The rocky path continued for a long time, with Mario catching glimpses of that sandy wasteland they had passed near to. They would see cacti growing out of the ground and then a glimpse of the sandy wasteland itself.

Since they were unable to find the cannon that would normally give them a good shortcut to the summit of Sherbet Mountain, they knew they were going to have to scale it.

"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll find a way up." Said Mario.

"You sure about that?" replied Rabbid Luigi.

"I'm positive."
