[fic] TGZ: Off the Beaten Track

"Where's New Zealand?" Saguru muttered, peering out the window. "I don't see New Zealand."

Kaito rolled his eyes. Figured. Something interesting happened and the detective was worried about Geography.

"So. Um." He raised an eyebrow at their hosts, who had picked up them up somewhere in New Mexico. "Anal probes? What's up with that?"

The two grey figures with the wide black oval shaped eyes glanced at each other. ~We don't know.~ The one with the more triangular face responded.

~We where hoping you could tell us.~ The other one, who was a slightly more pale shade of grey added.

It was kind of weird hearing their voices without them actually moving their lips, or hearing it with his ears, but they were nice enough to give them a ride, so Kaito was willing to overlook what might be considered oddities.

The 'Where's New Zealand' is a joke from the Star Trek: First Contact movie, where when Picard shows Lily the view of earth from space, New Zealand is missing.
-Nothing to do with the fact that we live here currently, I swear.

The idea came from watching Eight Legged Freaks.

Harlan: "If the aliens come and try to anal-probe me... l'm telling you, I'm not taking that! If you want a piece of me, don't take that piece!"
