Return to 'London' (An E.A.H/Madness returns fanfic)

Ch.9 Train ride

"So this was the place where your mom killed Dr. Bumby?" Kitty asked Alistair.

"Yeah" he said "Moorgate station"

"Hey" Maddie said "We should take the train to go to Oxford".

"We can't" Cari said, reading a sign "They're close today".

"How about tomorrow?" Maddie asked Cari.

"They're open until 6 tomorrow" Cari read the sign.

"Great, so we can catch the train to Oxford".

"Hold on" Cari said as she continued to read the sign "We have to pay".

"What?"

"We have to pay for our tickets".

"But, we don't have any money" Bunny said.

"We can ask Nan for some" Lizzie suggested.

"But what if she doesn't have enough?" Tammy asked "What are we gonna do, steal?"

"I could do that if we have no choice" Kitty said.

"We'll think of something" Alistair said as they left the station and went back to the Mangled Mermaid.

"Nan" Alistair said as they went inside.

"You're back already?" Nan asked as she came out from the kitchen.

"We were just wondering if we can have some money to get on the train to go to Oxford?"

"Oxford eh?" Nan said "Let me see what I have".

She looked through he purse, pulling and tossing random things over her shoulders.

"Ah here we go" she said as she pulled out some money.

"Is that enough?" Alistair asked.

"Of course, everything back then is cheap".

"Thank you" he said as he took the money "We'll leave tomorrow".

The next morning, the Wonderlandians got ready to leave.

"Now you kids be careful" Nan warned "Especially if you run into Dr. Bumby or those fat men, and stay out of trouble, especially you Kimmy".

Kitty groaned as they went out of the pub.

"Kimmy" Dina giggled.

"Shut up" Kitty said.

After they got their tickets, the gang went on the train, making sure they weren't being followed. They all split up into half and got a room together and gave the conductor their tickets and off they went. Everyone had fallen asleep except Alistair, who was feeling a bit hungry so he went out of the room and headed down the aisle. But when he opened the door to the other room, he stopped, the Orderlies were here! He quickly closed the door before they could spot him, he then peeked into the room through the door window and watched as the smaller man sat down while the bigger man headed towards the door. Alistair quickly ran from the door and into his room just as the bigger man came in and walked down the aisle.

"Girls!" Alistair whispered to Kitty, Lizzie and Maddie who were asleep "Get up!".

"Huh?" Maddie asked as she woke up

"The Orderlies are here!" Alistair said.

"What?!" the girls gasped.

"Where's Bunny?"

"She went to the restroom" Lizzie said.

"Oh no" Alistair gasped.

Bunny who had finished using the restroom went out of the restroom, but when she was about to head down the aisle, she spotted the big man who had also spotted her.

"Hey!" he called to her as she quickly ran away from him, but he went after her.

Bunny ran through the different sections of the train, but when she got to the end, she decided to climb a ladder up until she was on top of the moving train that was running across a farm land. She saw the big man opening the door to the end of the train, so she carefully ran on top of the train, but the man had managed to get on top and go after her. Bunny continued to run, but then she noticed the gap between the section and the other section of the train. She was about to jump across it when the smaller man climbed up the side on front of her.

"Hey lassie" he said with an evil grin.

Bunny was now surrounded by the Orderlies.

"There's no escaping missy" the bigger man said.

Bunny looked for a way to escape, she couldn't jump off and land in the farm land, but then she got an idea. She quickly poofed to her rabbit form and hopped under the big man and towards the end of the train.

"Get her!" the small man yelled as they went after her.

But as Bunny made it to the end, Alistair had climbed up the ladder and spotted Bunny who hopped into his arms. He noticed the Orderlies and quickly climbed down the ladder and went inside locking the door. The Orderlies tried to come in, but they found it was locked. They shouted and pounded on the door, but Alistair, who was still holding onto Bunny in her rabbit form, ran from the door and back to his room where everyone else was.

"You ok?" Cari asked.

"We're fine" he said as Bunny hopped out of his arms and poofed back to herself.

"I am never running on top of a train again" she said as she sat down, a little shaky from the experience.

"Where are the Orderlies?" Lizzie asked.

"I locked them out" Alistair said.

"But what if they come back in?" Maddie asked.

"I'm sure they'll stay out" he said as he opened the door, but spotted the Orderlies back inside! They saw him and headed towards him, but he shut the door and locked it.

"Ok I was wrong" he said.

Just then the men began pounding on the door and trying to open it.

"Open up the door you little brats!" they yelled.

"Now what?" Dina asked.

"I've got it" Maddie said as she pulled out some firecrackers from her hat.

"Firecrackers?!" everyone gasped.

"Yep" she said as she lit the firecrackers and slid them under the door.

"Everyone get down" she said as they all got down on the floor.

"What the?" they heard one of the men say "What are these?"

"Wait" the other man said as he examined the firecrackers "Holy-".

The firecrackers exploded before he could say it. The Wonderlainds covered their ears until the explosions stopped. Smoke filled the aisle as the conductor opened the door letting the smoke out. He noticed the Orderlies covered in ashes and some of the firecrackers had landed on them.

"That's it!" the conductor yelled "You 2 are out of here!".

"What?" they said as the conductor took them away.

"There will be no explosion on this train!" the conductor said as he opened a door and tossed the men out of the train and onto the farm land. The gang got up and noticed the Orderlies out the window rolling down the farm land. They laughed as they passed by the land.

"Well that took care of them" Maddie giggled.

"Well at least now we can enjoy the ride for the next 15 minutes" Alistair said.
