Dancing With the Dragons

Run Yuya, Run!

A boy with hair like a tomato gasped for breath as he ran down the sidewalk, trying to outrun the mob behind him. Why, oh why, did he leave the hotel without a bodyguard or one of his brothers? He should have listened to them when they said that it wasn't safe for him to wander around this city alone! He just wanted to check out the sights! Maybe grab a bite to eat or something too. But now he was running for his life, trying to find his way back to the hotel.

"Not like this, not like this, not like this, not like this, not like this!" the boy whimpered as he ran. He could hear the screaming mob getting closer. Even though he was very athletic, he still didn't seem to be able to outrun them.

Suddenly, as he was approaching an intersection, a limo pulled up in front of him. The door swung open as the car screeched to a halt, and the boy wasted no time diving headfirst through the opening into the vehicle. He landed on the laps of three boys with the same face as him. As soon as he was inside the limo, the boy closest to the door slammed it shut, and the limo peeled off.

"Go go go!" the boys yelled to the driver, as if the limo wasn't driving already. They looked out the back window, watching the mob get smaller and smaller, before the car turned a corner. As soon as the mob was out of sight, they all let out a collective sigh of relief.

"That was TOO CLOSE!" said the boy with eggplant-purple and black hair. "Did you see how close they were to catching him?!"

"Girls can be scary..." shuddered the boy with bluenana hair.

The purple-cabbage-haired boy helped the tomato-haired boy sit up, and buckled his seatbelt for him. "Ok, so what did we learn, Yuya?"

Yuya, the tomato-haired boy, thought for a bit as he caught his breath. "Fangirls... are... crazy?"

"What else?" the cabbage-haired boy asked.

Yuya thought some more. "I'm getting better at jumping into limos from a distance?"

"No!" the cabbage-haired boy said. He started tickling Yuya, who squealed and squirmed away, batting at the cabbage-haired boy's hands. "No, that's not what we learned!"

"We LEARNED that you should LISTEN to us when we say it's too dangerous for you to go off on your own!" said the man with green and silver hair, who was sitting across from them.

Yuya groaned as the cabbage-haired boy stopped tickling him. "But Zaaaaarc!"

"No buts!" Zarc, the silver-haired man, said. "What do you think would have happened if Yuri hadn't installed that tracker on your phone, huh?"

Yuri, the cabbage-haired boy, sat smugly next to Yuya. "Those fangirls would have eaten you alive!"

Yuya looked away, pouting. "They would not..."

The eggplant-haired boy, Yuto, sighed. "Did they talk to you before chasing you this time, or did they just recognize you and go after you?"

"They talked to me," Yuya said. "They wanted autographs, and photos, and then one of them wanted me to kiss her, and I said I had to go, and that's when they started chasing me."

"Yep, girls can be scary," the blunana, Yugo, said.

Zarc sighed. "At least we found you before they could catch you."

Yuya's stomach suddenly growled loudly, and he blushed. "Can we stop to eat somewhere, please?"

"Ok, but we're getting something other than popcorn or cotton candy," Zarc said. "You need more than that to keep your energy levels up after being chased by a mob of crazy fangirls. So, where do you guys want to go?"
