Pyrrhon's Out of Luck
Chapter 1: The Unexpected StalkersSmart Person: AUTHOR'S NOTE MONTAUGE TIME!
Iubrie and Sakura-Chan: …What?
Smart Person: You're stupid waves have caught onto me… as usual.
Asteria: Aw, you know that's not true.
Smart Person: Yes it is.
Shion: Why is it that only three of us are in this story?
Valette: Because Smart Person's being a butt.
Squidly: No kidding there…
Smart Person: Can we get on with the disclaimer already?
Sakura-Chan: Sakura-Chan calls doing the disclaimer!
Iubrie: No! Iubrie does it!
Sakura-Chan: No!
Smart Person: Guys!
Iubrie and Sakura-Chan: WHAT?
Smart Person: I promised Shion she could.
Iubrie, Asteria, Valette, Squidly, and Sakura-Chan: WHAT?
Smart Person: Take it away, Shion!
Shion: Smart-Person-18 owns no personal characters and parts of the plot that are not her own. Most characters belong to Nintendo and some plot belongs to Nintendo as well! Names were changed to protect the innocent.
Valette: This is not over!
"I'm bored!" the red-head cried while sitting in the gym playing her 3DS as usual.
"How can you be bored," her Asian friend replied, "You're sitting there playing Kid Icarus: Uprising like there's no tomorrow."
The red-head and her brunette friend exchanged glances for a moment. They were both puzzled by her reaction.
"You never say stuff like that," the brunette replied.
The red-head gasped mellow-dramatically and replied, "Who are you and what have you done with Sakura?"
The trio laughed. For once in the past 10 minutes of study-hall, they actually had a real conversation. At first, the red-head, or Alice, was playing her 3DS and ignoring everyone around her. Sakura, the opposite of an Asian stereo-type, was drawing in her sketchbook like she does in every class. And the brunette, meaning Valarie, was busy reading The Hunger Games so everybody would stop yelling at her to read the book.
"You know what would be weird?" Valarie asked, after the laughter died down.
"What?" Sakura replied.
"If the game was actually real," Valarie replied.
"What game?" Alice asked, nodding her head to the side.
"That game!" Valarie replied, pointing to Alice's 3DS.
"Ooh," Alice and Sakura replied simultaneously.
"But," Sakura replied, "It is…"
"What are you talking about?" Valarie, the voice of reason, questioned, "No it's not."
"Yes it is!" Sakura protested.
"Whatever…" Valarie mumbled and went back to her book.
The rest of study hall was spent with the trio minding their own business. They read, played 3DS, or drew. Then the bell rang and they walked out of the gym and to the cafeteria.
"I… hate… gym…" Alice replied annoyed that the only time she had to play her 3DS was during study-hall, which sucked for her.
"You can't hate every class that you can't play your 3DS in, Alice," Valarie said matter-o-fact-ly.
"But I like to!" Alice whined. Valarie had quickly turn to look over her shoulder, and then turned slowly back.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"I feel like," Valarie replied, "Someone's watching us."
"What?" Alice replied, "That's re-DQ-louse."
But, Valarie wasn't wrong. Little-miss-imperfect was right. There was someone watching our trio. More like more than one someone. Actually, there were two someone's. If that makes any sense.
In a nearby bush were our trio's stalkers, or Pit and Pyrrhon. Now, you see, Pit and Pyrrhon were sent to earth for a specific reason which will be stated later in the story-line (plus, I'm too lazy to tell you now).
"Remind me again why we are stalking these three girls?" Pit asked, innocently.
"That is an excellent question, Pit," Pyrrhon replied, "But, Pyrrhon does not have an answer. Ha, ha, ha. My bad."
"That's all you have to say? 'My bad.'" Pit replied, now annoyed.
"Forget about it," Pyrrhon said, reassuringly, "Pyrrhon's sure there is a logical explanation for all of this."
Just then the bush they were crouched in caught on fire (who would've thought, right?). They screamed and ran to the closest tree and hid behind that instead.
Now Valarie, Sakura, and Alice had noticed the burning bush. They didn't freak out, oddly enough.
"Really, Alice?" Valarie asked, calmly, "Really?"
"It wasn't me this time!" Alice protested.
"Sure it wasn't" Sakura said in disbelief.
"You don't believe me either?" Alice asked, annoyed.
"Alice," Valarie replied, "Not to be mean or anything, but you have matches autographed by Orlando Bloom."
"Nobody can hate on Orlando!" Alice cried, angrily.
"You forced him to sign them!" Sakura said.
"I did not!" Alice protested.
"You take him to a chair and taped an uncapped sharpie to his hand and forced him to sign them!" Valarie replied.
"Taped, shmaped. The details aren't important," Alice replied.
Valarie looked back quickly again, paranoid. She knew something was out there, but she didn't know what it was.
"Would you stop being paranoid?" Sakura said, annoyed.
"No!" Valarie cried.
"Guys," Alice interrupted.
"What?" Sakura replied.
"I wonder if you need a license to drive a car," Alice questioned.
Valarie and Sakura exchanged glances before Valarie replied, "LEGALLY? You do."
"So," Alice continued, "If you wanted to drive a car without a license, you could?"
"If you don't get caught, then yes," Sakura replied. The girls fell silent, until Valarie realized why Alice was asking about it.
"DANG IT ALICE!" Valarie cried, "I TOLD YOU TO STOP DRIVING THE NEIGHBOR'S CAR OFF A CLIFF!"
"It was an ACCIDENT!" Alice protested.
"No!" Sakura replied, obliviously, "You clearly said 'Watch me drive this guy's car off a cliff.'"
Alice spit, "Psh. Details, shmetails. It's not that important."
"They had to give you a restraining order to stay one hundred meters away from them!" Valarie cried, aggravated.
"I might have shredded that," Alice replied, innocently.
Valarie sighed and smacked her forehead, leaving a large red mark there. She looked back a third time, this time towards the tree that Pit and Pyrrhon were behind, which annoyed Alice and Sakura like nobody's business.
"There is no one watching us!" Alice half-said, half-screamed, "You're being paranoid."
"As usual," Sakura mumbled.
Valarie huffed, "Look. I know you guys don't believe me, but I swear someone watching us."
"Okay," Alice said in disbelief.
"Whatever you say," Sakura replied.
"I'll prove it to you," Valarie said determined.
She walked towards the tree that Pyrrhon and Pit are behind.
"What do we do now, genius," Pit hissed, annoyed.
"Don't worry," Pyrrhon replied, "Pyrrhon will get us out of this."
He had grabbed Pit and hid behind another nearby bush, just in the nick of time. Valarie had made it behind the tree where they were standing, only to find a small fire on the trunk and no other remains of anyone being there. Alice placed her hand over the fire, putting it out.
"We told you," Sakura said, happily.
"There's no one there," Alice replied.
"Yes there is!" Valarie cried, "I can feel it."
Just then the bell rang. That meant that the students either had to be in class or at lunch.
"Guys," Valarie said, calmly, "I don't want to go to lunch."
"Why not?" Sakura asked.
"Because our stalkers might be there," Valarie simply replied.
"Let me spell this out for you," Alice replied, "We. Don't. Have. Any. Stalkers."
Valarie huffs. Yet again, no one believes her over-reacting. Even though the last time she over-reacted, she was over-reacting for no reason. Everyone knew that the neighbor's cat wasn't dead; Alice and Sakura had taken him out for a walk and forgot that cats don't go for walks.
Long story short, the neighbors had to sue our trio for breaking and entering, cat burglary, and cat pain and suffering.
Pit and Pyrrhon had still been crouched down in the bush, which the trio had now walked right in front of.
"What do we do now?" Pit whispered.
"Pyrrhon has no clue!" Pyrrhon cried, rather loudly.
"Did you hear something?" Valarie asked.
Sakura and Alice shrugged. And now the bush that Pit and Pyrrhon were sitting in had caught on fire, not as ironic as someone would expect. The girls slowly turned towards the bush and shrugged, turning away. Then Pit and Pyrrhon had gone to the large painted rock in the front of the school. They stayed on the opposite side of the girls, who carried on their conversation.
"I noticed something," Sakura said.
"Which would be…?" Alice asked.
"The only person who looks different is –" Sakura's mouth was covered by Valarie's hand
"Shhh…" Valarie whispered, "We're not supposed to talk about that."
Pyrrhon started to laugh, but was stopped by Pit's hand being placed over his mouth.
"You know what," Valarie said, still paranoid about someone watching them, "Maybe we should head to lunch."
"That would be okay with me," Sakura said.
They walked towards the cafeteria, passing the rock. Alice saw something out of the corner of her eye and turned back to the rock. The rock was bare, except for the purple and gold paint for the Latin class. Pyrrhon and Pit had made their way to the pavilion in front of the cafeteria without being seen, luckily.
"They're coming over here," Pit whispered, concerned, "What do we do now?"
"Pyrrhon has an idea!" Pyrrhon said, not as loudly as before.
Pyrrhon and Pit made a mad dash towards the bleachers behind the school. Making it there before the girls saw them. Pyrrhon look back at the pavilion and watched the girls walk into the cafeteria.
"Come on!" Pit grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bleachers.
In the cafeteria, Valarie, Sakura, and Alice had seen their friends, Asteria, Shion, Valette, and Aria, acting oddly out of character. They seemed pretty out-of-sorts. They were lazily walking the cafeteria and mumbling things almost unheard.
"Uhm…" Valarie said, confused.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"DUUUUDE!" Asteria said, wobbling over to Valarie and Sakura, "This soda is A-MAH-ZAH!"
Valarie snatched the can from Asteria; it had no label and had a funny scent.
"It tastes A-MAH-ZAH!" Shion said, falling over in her chair.
"It called something with an 'A'," Aria replied, laughing uncontrollably.
"You mean something with an 'L'," Valette corrected her, with a death glare, like as if she was gonna punch her in the face for just standing in front of her.
"I know!" Alice said, "Alcohol!"
"WHAT?" Valarie said in disbelief.
"They've been on drugs?" Sakura asked.
Valarie slowly dropped her eyes towards the blank can in her hand, dropped the car, and ran out of the cafeteria. Sakura and Alice followed, calling her to come back. Anywhere, Valarie thought, anywhere but there. If my parent's find out, they'll kill me and send me back home.
Valarie had stopped running to catch her breath, long enough for Sakura and Alice to catch up to her.
"What was that about?" Sakura asked.
"Does the words 'If you or your friends do anything stupid and we find out, you're coming back home!' ring a bell?" Valarie asked, annoyed.
"Oh," Alice replied, "But how'd they get the alcohol anyways?"
What they didn't know was that our favorite sun god had given it to them.
Flashback
Pyrrhon had been walking through the school continuing on the mission he and Pit were sent to do. He looked for any suspicious characters, wearing sunglasses and pushing them downwards to see the people in the hallways. The bell rang for lunch to start, which startled Pyrrhon and he fell flat on the ground. He heard Palutina's voice ringing in his head.
"What's going on in there, Pyrrhon?"
"N-nothing, Lady Palutina," he stuttered.
"Knowing Pyrrhon, something is happening down there," Viridi's voice was next.
"Where's Pit, anyways," Palutina asked, "You better not have lost him again."
"Why do you think that I lost him?" he asked
"I'm fine, Lady Palutina," Pit voice now came in.
"Told you," Pyrrhon said, annoyed.
"Just, stick with the mission, okay Pyrrhon?" Palutina said.
"Fine," Pyrrhon replied.
He noticed 4 girls going towards the cafeteria, thinking that they were "suspicious characters" he pulls the blank can from his pocket that he filled with alcohol. He walked towards the girls who were talking about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
"Hi, girls," he said calmly, "Want a soda?"
"What kind of soda?" one asked.
"Just take the soda," He replied, shoving it into her hand and walking away.
He walked out of the building to find Pit standing by the door.
"What are you doing?" Pit asked, "I think I found who we're looking for."
End Flashback
Valarie, Alice, and Sakura had walked towards the bleachers by the track. Pit and Pyrrhon were standing there looking out towards the junior's parking lot.
Sakura was the first to see them, surprisingly, considering that she was the shortest and one of the most oblivious.
"Hey!" Sakura called out to them, "What'cha doing?"
Pit and Pyrrhon didn't respond, instead they ran down the bleachers and towards the school.
"Where are you going?" Alice replied.
Alice and Sakura went racing after them.
Valarie sighed, "I can't get a break, can I?"
The girls had chased down Pit and Pyrrhon, who hit a dead-end.
"Now what?" Pit asked.
Pyrrhon grabbed pit by the arm and flew to the top of the building.
The girls had finally caught up and watch the boys fly to the roof.
"Now what?" Valarie asked.
"Maybe we can do what they did!" Alice said, hopeful.
"Alice…" Valarie started, but it was too late.
Alice had grabbed Sakura and Valarie's arms and tried to fly up like they did, but wasn't able to after a few attempts. Alice sighed, about to give up, until she had floated into the air and landed on the roof.
"This is awkward," Valarie said, still shaking from their flight.
"Oh calm down, you big baby," Sakura said, "It wasn't that freaky."
Valarie was about to object when she noticed Pit and Pyrrhon starring at them in shock. Valarie got so nervous that, for the first time…
She fainted.
o_e'
"Valarie?"
"Is she okay?"
"She should be."
Valarie opened her eyes to see Pit, Pyrrhon, Alice, and Sakura standing around her. Surprisingly, Pit didn't have wings. He looked almost normal. Except Pyrrhon was still his flaming self, which wasn't new.
"Can I flip out now?" Valarie asked, getting on her feet.
"Yes," Sakura replied.
"You guys weren't kidding! I thought you were kidding! My parents are gonna kill me. They are gonna come after me with plastic spoons and stab me 37 times in the chest. I'm gonna die. This is madness! You all are—" Valarie rant was interrupted by Alice smacking her into the face.
"Is that normal?" Pit asked Sakura, confused.
"Yes," Sakura replied simply, standing as far away from Pyrrhon as she could. Pyrrhon's flames were spreading farther and farther from his body, luckily not putting anything on fire.
"So you are here why?" Alice asked Pit.
"Lady Palutina sent us down here," he said innocently.
"For what?" Sakura asked.
"Lady Palutina suspects that there is someone working for Hades down on earth and Pit suspected it to be one of you," Pyrrhon explained.
"Mostly the red-head," Pit added, "She seemed the most likely. And I heard you talking about him."
"We were talking about a game on her 3DS," Valarie said.
"Oh," Pit said, "That makes no sense."
Valarie, Alice, and Sakura face palmed.
"It's hard to explain," Valarie started, but was interrupted by Pyrrhon catching the roof of the school on fire.
