[fic] TGZ: Mid-west snippet

[ickaimp]

*head desk* Geh. I didn't even LIKE this show when it was on. Why the hell did it pop up now?

"Oh, shut up." Saguru snapped.

Kaito sniffed. "-I- didn't say anything."

"You don't have to." Saguru grumped. "After long periods of close exposure of how you think, I can now read your MIND."

Considering Kaito was trying to remember what pair of underwear he was wearing currently, if any, and when was the last time they stopped for breakfast, he sure hoped that Saguru couldn't. So they missed the bus. Big deal. Wasn't like they were in a hurry to get anywhere, they didn't exactly have a schedule that they were following.

"We could always hitch-hike." He said cheerfully, sticking out his thumb, half in jest. "You do have your towel, right?"

"Oh, Ha bloody, Ha...a.... uh?" Saguru blinked as a slick looking black sports car pulled up to a stop in front of them.

"Are you in need of a ride?" A slightly mechanical voice inquired as the red light on the front of the car moved back and forth with a small swooshing noise.

"Um... yes?" Kaito blinked. There didn't appear to be any driver in the car...

Both doors opened. "Hop in. Where are you going?"

Saguru paused. "Kai?"

Kaito blinked, and switched over to Kid. Kid looked at the car. Yup, black car, wooshing red light, no driver, offering them a ride. It didn't seem to be overly hostile, if nothing else it seemed to have a sort of dry patient aura around it.

"No where in particular." Kid shrugged, wandering over to the driver's seat. "We're just travelling the country. You?"

"The same." Kid agreed, fastening the seat belt. "Tantei-san? You coming?"

Saguru gaped a moment more, then got in the passenger's seat. The doors closed behind them. "I am KITT by the way." The car announced, smoothly pulling away from the kerb. "My usual driver is making an ass of himself with a woman, so I decided to go for a drive. If you would be as so kind to turn off any electronics I would appreciate it as it interferes with my electrical systems."

"Fair enough." Kid agreed. Hirokini made a chirping sound in his ear as he logged off. Kaito disconnected the camera and the speaker he wore and turned off his cellphone just in case. He noticed Saguru doing the same as he buckled his seat belt. "This is Hobbit and I'm Puck. We're travelling the country before school starts up again in England."

"Excellent." KITT commented. "If you would not mind telling me of some of your adventures, I am in need of intellectual conversation. Consider it a trade for the ride?"

Saguru's shell shock wore off as he smiled slightly. "That, I think we can do."

Crossed over with Knight Rider. Geh.

XDDDD But KITT is cool (can't say so for the rest of the show)! At least you used the cool aspect.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Sweet as. Thanks!
Still totally going 'WTF' over it tho. I mean, really. Knight Rider. What the hell were the plunnies smoking?

[poe-nui.livejournal.com]

They were definitely smoking Something! *snicker*

[ytak.livejournal.com]

I suspect they were plotting behind your back and this was the result.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

I suspect you're right.
After all, we all know who's really in charge of these things. ~_^ And it's not me! ^__^

[wren-chan.livejournal.com]

You are doing with the car exactly what I always wanted it to do. Mwee hee hee hee. Love. ♥

[kosaginolegion.livejournal.com]

One suspects that KITT often longed to do exactly this as well.

*heh*

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Drive off and leave Micheal behind? Yeah. Wouldn't blame him. ^__^

"We could always hitch-hike." He said cheerfully, sticking out his thumb, half in jest. "You do have your towel, right?"

..........hitch-hike + towel =... wait, they didn't make a series out of that, did they? O_o;;;; At least, not that I know about. Please tell me they didn't. It's not even set in America.. though it is set on Earth....

Oh! Knight Rider! Whooot! XD Rather liked that series. Car by far the coolest thing in it, definitely. =3 Go KITT! *snicker* Also, like the nicknames.

If Saguru hasn't made Kaito read 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' yet, I'm sure they've seen the movie. Voices agree that Saguru's prolly a closet sci-fi fan.

I remember seeing a few snippets of episodes when I was little and absolutely detesting the guy. KITT totally ruled the show.

Er... yeah. Actually 'Hobbit' and 'Puck' first make their appearance in the Maimi chapter, which we need to write. >_> grrr

[morgan-idril.livejournal.com]

Actaully the answer is 42. And yes they did make a tv series. Saw it. Heh.

"No where in particular." Kid shrugged, wandering over to the driver's seat. "We're just travelling the country. You?"

"The same." Kid agreed, fastening the seat belt. "Tantei-san? You coming?"

Is Kaito talking to himself here, or to KITT? Please, clarify what's going on here.

Rosie.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

'Tantei-san' is Kid's nick for Saguru. (an extrapolation on Kid calling Conan 'Tantei-kun' in cannon)

Sorry, it's that 'switching personalities' thing. And the fact that they're both trying not to use each other's full first name and can't always remember what fake ID they're using this time. 9_9;;

[rosieknight.livejournal.com]

It's not the tantei-san, I'm referring to.

Look, Kaito asks a question here:
"No where in particular." Kid shrugged, wandering over to the driver's seat. "We're just travelling the country. You?"

And answers. "The same." Kid agreed, fastening the seat belt.

Who is Kaito talking to?

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Ah. *head desk* *head desk* *head desk*

-when I was re-editing it, I somehow managed to delete Kid's line about his usual driver.

Dammit, Now I hafta remember what it was...

Thanks for pointing that out!
