Lost
“GUYS!” Kim shouted, “We just exploded a bus!”
Marinette nodded, “Yup.”
He continued, “That was being attacked by demon triplet math teachers!”
Another nod as if that sounded normal, “Oh yeah.”
“Is the whole trip gonna be like this?”
Marinette grinned, “I hope so...” The music began playing from a speaker hooked up to Juleka’s phone, “Hades is sending his monsters after us! We're doing something right!”
Nino wrung his hand, “All our food was in there. All our clothes were in there.” He gasps, “ALL OUR FOOD WAS IN THERE!
Kim pats him on the shoulder, “Sit tight.”
“Okay.”
“I made an itinerary for any adversary drawn from the quest of heroes past!” Marinette digs around in her pockets, “It's right here in my pocket!”
Kim folds his arms, “It's WHERE in your pocket?”
She gives a sheepish shrug of her shoulders, “Oops, it got busted in the blast...”
“What did it say?” He asked.
“Take a bus to Los Angeles!”
“We're not on the bus!”
Marinette rolled her eyes, “I know.”
“To Los Angeles!”
“We blew up the bus!”
“I KNOW!” She yelled.
“To Los Angeles.”
“So what are we suppsoed to do?” Kim wondered.
“Wait for another bus?” Marinette suggested unsurely.
Kim shakes her by her shoulders, “What if we blow up that one too?!”
The three childhood best friends huddle together.
“We're lost in the woods,
somewhere in New Jersey
and we're never gonna make it to LA!
We're lost-!”
Marinette wraps her arms around herself, “And it's cold!”
Nino covers his head, “And it won't stop raining!”
“Let's just go!” Kim starts walking to the door, but Nino blocks his way
“No, not that way!”
”No back up plans!”
“No food!”
“No phone!”
“No adult supervision!
We're lost in the woods
and we'll never leave New Jersey,
and none of us are making
a decision!”
Nino continues, “It's not safe to stay
out here in the open!
When monsters are
hoping to eat us alive!”
“How do they know where we are
when we dont even know?” Asked Kim.
“How are we gonna survive?
Marinette points to him, “It's your smell!”
“I don't smell!” Kim exclaimed, feigning offense.
“Dude, like listen please,” Nino fans the air around him. “Halfbloods to monsters smell like
Mickey-D's!”
“We smell?!”
“Like tacos or takeout Vietnamese!” Kim paled at that.
“So hopefully they just ate!”
“Fantastic, gang,” Kim said sarcastically, “Well I don't wanna die in the Garden State!”
They huddled close to each other again. “We're lost in the woods,
somewhere in New Jersey
and we're never gonna make it to LA!
We're lost and it's dark-
AND I THINK THAT SOMETHING'S MOVING!” Nino and Marinette jump into Kim’s arms. “And I think it's coming this way!”
“Is it a monster?” Marinette asked.
Nino gasps, “It's a squirrel!” He gets out of Kim’s hold and starts speaking in chitters with the squirrel in the song while Kim watches in confusion.
“Dude, are you talking to a squirrel?”
He turns to Kim, “Satyr powers! Be nice! The squirrel knows every corner of the woods! Maybe he can help us!”
“Really?” Kim smirked. “Cause I think that seems pretty nuts.”
Nino gasped offendedly, “You hurt his feelings. Tell the squirrel you're sorry.”
“I'm not saying sorry to the squirrel.”
“He's very sorry.” Marinette smacks his arm. “Tell the squirrel you're sorry Percy!”
“Okay okay! I am sorry.”
The squirrel from the song starts chittering. Nino nods along, “Uh huh.”
”Whats he saying?” Kim asks.
“He says he knows where we are!”
“WHERE ARE WE?!?”
“He says... We're lost in the woods somewhere in New Jersey, and we're never gonna make to LA!” Kim and Marinette groan, “THANKS BUDDY!”
Thunder sounds through the speaker, followed by the sound of heavy rain. “I think the gods are trying to tell me they hate me,” Kim deduces as he shoves his hands into his hoodie pockets.
Marinette nods in agreement. “I'm getting that too.”
“Hungry monsters on the ground.”
“Angry gods are in the sky.”
“No safe places to be found.”
“Wanna hide!
Wanna cry!”
“Can't go back to any home!”
“Camp is way to far away!”
“Can't protect my only friends!”
“No place to go no place to stay!
We're lost in the world
and the world is freaking awful
and we're never gonna make it to LA!
We're lost
we're just kids
we're alone
this is impossible!
Who put the fate of the world
in the hands of
three unprepared scared
halfbloods it's crazy!”
Marinette grabs Kim by his shoulders, “So pick a direction!”
Nino holds onto his arm, “It’s your quest!”
“A direction?!”
“We trust you!”
”A direction?!”
”A direction!”
”A DIRECTION!”
“Whatever you deciiii~”
“Whatever I deciiii~”
”Whatever you decide!”
Kim points up ahead, “THERE! I have a good feeling about there!”
Juleka stands from her seat, and in an eerie voice, she says, “Children come inside!”
