Okay, this is the last new story that I planned to release before I become overloaded. Anyway, I was feeling a bit journalistic and reread one of my one-shoters, coming into this new story.
Amy: Don't you think you're overdoing your imagination for every new story?
Y.A.R.: It's not my fault for creating new stories! I tend to have this bad habit of going into a new one instead of staying on an old one!
Amy: Just hope that you'll be able to finish up these stories; you got other categories to fill in too, you know.
Y.A.R.: T-T Why you gotta remind me of that? Now I got to get working on those too!
Amy: -sigh- Anyway, here's Love Reporter!
Love Reporter
Summary: You got two girls working in the gossip corner of the school; one of them a famous bachelorette, the other the sister of a popular duelist. Now, put them in a huge deadline of which they have to interview the two most hardest, yet incredible guys about their love lives. The result: Utter and complete chaos.
Chapter 1-The Ultimate Challenge
Ding-dong!
"Attention all students, the latest issue of Domino High's school newspaper has now been released. Please, line up at the gymnasium for your copy of the highest ranked newspaper amongst the nation. Thank you, and have a pleasant day!"
Roars of feet treading on the floor were heard around the hallways of Domino High, as every student rushed to get a copy of the school newspaper, nicknamed 'The Melody Scoop.' Several years ago, barely anyone wanted to get a copy of the paper because it had nothing interesting to read about and the school was about this close to cutting the budget for the paper to run permanently. Now, it was clear that the gossip column was the best part about the paper to read about what's hip, new, and upcoming rumors about what's happening in the city. Even things about famous celebrities hit the columns, and soon after two whole years, the school newspaper was ranked number one in the nation.
The head honcho of the newspaper crew was very pleased with the results of the newspaper; the numbers have reached an all-time high! And he had to thank the gossip crew for their huge contribution to the paper. When he heard the suggestion from some of the students that the paper needed some tuning, he worked very hard to get someone to be in the position. Unfortunately, the boys was never into the world of gossip and girls was the only solution to get things started. Luckily, two girls heard about the position and automatically accepted the job. Now, these two were the most popular among the reporting world; one of them actually had connections to celebrities across the world, and the other had written for other schools as well.
"Hey, we're gonna need another 250 copies of the school newspaper; we're running out pretty fast!"
"Coming right up!"
"Hey, you got more than what you paid for!"
"So? They're for my buddies in the soccer team!"
"Stop cutting in the effing line!"
"Fuck you!"
As of course, this was daily routine with occasional fights, insults, and downright stupidity in the student body. Security have to be stepped up after the last round of papers ended up in a lot of bloody situations, including unconscious people and injuries lasting for weeks.
Into the journalists' headquarters in the east wing of the building (to ensure that the place did not go bombarding with students since it was also where the principal's office was located), the girls were looking over their materials for next season's issue of the newspaper, hoping that everything was set for their round of research within the city's grounds. They were ecstatic; all of their stories happened to be the top sellers out of all the other sections of the paper and helped their school become the talk of the town.
"Serenity, when was that last celebrity break report? I need to check over something with the resources with some overseas on the computer."
"Over here, Amy." Serenity said, handing her the folder containing the files. "You always have the best connections when it comes to celebrities and other important people!"
"Well, when you're a Rivers, you have connections from every type of industry and gossip is flowing 24/7!" Amy laughed.
The two girls, Amy and Serenity, have been in the journal crew since their sophomore year and was praised by the head journalist. Amy Rivers was popular amongst all the guys, but she changed her last name when she entered the school to prevent any kind of mishaps involving her love life. She was also at par at being the most eligible bachelorette with her childhood friend, Seto Kaiba, whom they shared a violent but promising childhood together. It was quite reasonable to have such an important person working along the lines of the newspaper crew, since she had so many family members in many industries that most celebrities would hang around.
Then, there was Serenity Wheeler, sister of Joey Wheeler and also the second girl in the gossip duo team. She was off limits due to her brother's constant threats and also her admirers' death glares that caused her to become unavailable through many guys' eyes. She actually has Amy and Mai to thank for the independence talk, otherwise she would have to find a guy when she turned fifty years old. Together, these two girls were an unstoppable team.
Once the girls were finished, the head journalist called for them in his office to discuss about next season's newspaper. It appears that he has told everyone else about their deadlines and what to look for their next story, but the gossip central had to be notified on a different scale than the rest.
"Ah, my two most precious workers! Come, sit and let us discuss your next story."
"We're all ears, Devin." Amy said, calmly listening to the senior director. "What would you like for us to cover for next season's paper?"
"Well, my dear," Devin started. "Over the course of two years, the gossip portion of the newspaper has reached us at a milestone of over a half-million copies since when we first offered the position. I congratulate both you and Serenity for an amazing job! You with your connections, and Serenity with her outstanding writing and editorial skills!"
"We're very flattered." Serenity giggled.
"I want to keep this streak going, and I have the perfect gossip story to get next season off with a huge bang!" Devin continued. "Have you two heard about Yami Mutou and Seto Kaiba?"
At the mention of both names, both girls nodded fiercely. Amy knew Seto all too well, and Serenity knew Yami since she joined her brother's group of friends.
"Ah, that will save me the explanation." Devin stated. "As you know, their personal lives are constantly being breached by the local and national news, them being famous for their dueling skills and whatnots. To ensure ourselves of a self-clean getaway with our story for the school, I need you two to interview them about their love lives."
Amy and Serenity widen their eyes. How will they accomplished such a feat like that? Amy knew Seto wasn't in a relationship, and Serenity knew that Yami just broke up with Tèa not too long ago.
"Those two are a lot harder to get a story on than most other celebrities that we have interviewed over the past two years." Amy said. "Besides, from what I heard, they're quite sharp-eyed to even see through the slightest mistake. But, for the sake of the gossip column, we'll take the offer."
"Wonderful!" Devin exclaimed. "But, considering that this is a very high-profile report, I'll give you girls about four to five months to catch your story and print it into the paper. You are dismissed, girls. Good day!"
Walking out of the office, the two girls were filled with anxiety to the brim.
How are they going to accomplish this ultimate challenge without any of the two finding out?
Done!
Please, review!
P.S.: Don't worry, guys. I got about three chapters down of "Temptation to Madness" done, and the story will be posted around early October. "Synchro Beast, Crimson Rose" has about the third on the start and fourth one planning.
