Saving Les

(This is a crack fic from someone's dream on Tumblr. But I'm posting it here too)

I entered the first ever made bus train. A technological advancement that was well beyond our time. I noticed David Jacobs sitting in the back. A bucket that was hung from the ceiling was in front of him. I made my way back to him wondering what my friend is up to. 

"Hey Davey," I spoke up sitting on the seat opposite of him. 

He gave me a quick glance, a slight glare covering his face, "I'm doing something important please be quiet." I blinked once, then twice. Davey never talked to me like that before, so this must be serious. I looked into the bucket and saw that he was making soup. Davey then took some lemonade out of his bag and poured it into his soup...lemonade concoction. 

I felt a thousand questions run through my mind but I didn't want to bother David...but what the hell is this lemonade soup for? The train bus stopped at the next destination and in walked Pulitzers daughter. Katherine. I never really liked her, she just had off vibes. She noticed us and walked to us both.

"What in the lords name is that?" She asked as she noticed the lemonade soup Davey was making. He was stirring the mixture together. 

"Lemonade soup, duh," I replied back with a slight glare. I don't like her sorry. 

"Why would someone ever make such an awful-" She was cut off by the sound of a gun.

WAIT WHO SHOT A GUN? I looked over at David and he looked like he was about to cry. From the gun shot or Katherine, I don't know. I looked around the rest of the bus train and noticed we were the only three on besides the driver. Which means the driver tried to shoot us. 

The lady looked at us through the rearview mirror and aimed her gun at us once more. I hid behind the seat and so did Katherine and David. The train bus driver kept one hand on the wheel and the other held the gun aimed at us. Why is she even trying to kill us?!

David was still working hard on his lemonade soup, trying to prefect it. 

"Why are you still making that?!" Katherine screamed. "We are literally being shot at!"

"This is more important than anything else in this world!" Davey shouted back clearly stressed. 

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked hesitantly glancing up to the driver. Another shot rang out and we all ducked/flinched. 

"I'm the only one who can do this, I'm sorry," He replied back. 

"Well maybe we should deal with the person who is trYING TO KILL US!" Katherine shouted. David started to cry making me hate her to infinity. 

"This is more important than my own life!" David shouted back, his voice cracking.  

"How about you deal with the driver?" I seethed at her. She looked so angry. 

"WHY IS LEMONADE SOUP SO IMPORTANT ANYWAYS?!" She shouted again.

"IT'S GOING TO MAKE LES HAPPY!" 

I felt my heart melt at that. I stood up and made my way to the driver. Her attention was more focused on the road than us. I grabbed the gun from her making her gasp. 

"FOR DAVEY AND LES!" I shouted knocked her out. I took control of the vehicle. The problem being I didn't know how to drive a train bus. Couldn't be more confusing than a car right? I slowed it to a stop and Davey seemed to be finished with the lemonade soup. 

"Thank you," He breathed out with a smile. Katherine was glaring at the ground, probably wishing to do what I did. 

"Anything for Les," I replied back.
