Part 7: A Day In The City

"Rizuki wake up!" Russell exclaimed as he came bursting into Rizuki's room while quickly trying to get dressed. Rizuki groaned as she placed the covers over her face.

"Ugh, just 10 more minutes," Rizuki answered as she tried to ignore Russell. Russell stopped trying to get dressed and snatched the covers off of Rizuki. "Ahhhhhh, Russell!" She sat up and glared at Russell. "You're so mean!" As soon as Rizuki got a good look at Russell she stared at him weirdly. He was wearing a ridiculous looking outfit that made him look like some rich gentlemen or something, but the major thing was that he was unrecognizable with the outfit on. "Russell, what the heck are you wearing?"

"That's what I've been tryin' to get ya up for," Russell answered as he buttoned his long, elegant looking coat.

"I don't follow," Rizuki responded in complete and utter confusion. Russell sighed in exasperation before tossing some clothes towards her.

"Here, put these on," Russell said.

"Why?" Rizuki asked. Soon more footsteps came rushing down the stairs.

"Russell! Rizuki! What's takin' ya so long?!" Captain asked as the others entered the room. When they saw that Rizuki wasn't even dressed yet they stared at her with wide eyes.

"What have ya been doin' in here all this time?" Eduardo asked, "I can't believe yer still not dressed yet. Yer so slow."

"Hey, can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on and why you guys are all dressed in ridiculous clothing?" Rizuki asked in annoyance. Everybody else was wearing the same kind of funny clothing that Russell was wearing, except for Thomas and Christopher who were wearing clothes that were meant for ladies. Rizuki stared at all of them for a while. She wasn't sure if they knew how ridiculous they looked in those outfits. Without thinking, she burst into laughter.

"Why are ya laughing?" Russell asked. Rizuki's laugh was cute and it kind of made Russell want to smile, but he bit his lip to keep himself from smiling randomly.

"Ha, haha, oh my god, you guys don't know how ridiculously funny you look," Rizuki replied through giggles. The others rolled their eyes.

"Yeah, well, yer 'bout to get into one of these as well," Christopher said. Rizuki immediately stopped laughing and stared at them in shock.

"No. Absolutely not. Not happening. No way. You can't make me. I refuse," Rizuki refused fiercely as she shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly.

"Rizuki, ya will get in that getup," Captain ordered with a stern voice.

"Humph, not until you tell me why," Rizuki insisted stubbornly. She refused to get into one of those ridiculous looking outfits unless there was a valuable reason as to why she had to. Captain sighed.

"We're goin' into town today to get some more supplies," Captain explained, "Understand now?"

"Yeah, I understand what we're doing today, but that still doesn't answer my question as to why we have to wear these getups," Rizuki argued.

"Ya do realize that we're wanted men, right?" Eduardo asked in a cold tone. Rizuki nodded. "If the town's people recognize us then we'll either end up in jail and get executed or we'll end up escapin', but we won't get our supplies. These are our disguises."

"Oh, well, why didn't you just say that in the first place?" Rizuki asked as she rummaged through the pile of clothes, that Russell had thrown at her. The others sighed in frustration.

"We were tryin' to tell ya that from the start," Nathan answered impatiently.

"No, Russell came bursting into the room and threw a bunch of clothes at me saying to put them on," Rizuki explained, "That's not exactly explaining anything." Russell rolled his eyes.
