Okay, I felt like writing another fanfic, so here it is... Warning: there is some profanity used here, but all in all just go ahead and enjoy. Remember, I am open to all criticism and suggestions. So after reading this, tell me what you think. (Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Dead or Alive or anything else from Team Ninja and Tecmo.)

The seniors stood against the brick wall behind the school library, their usual hangout when they had nothing else to do during lunch. Though it was in the afternoon, everything was still a tinted gray from the upcoming winter. It was slightly foggy that day. The air was crisp and icy and when you exhaled you could watch your breath as it formed clouds that vanished in an instant. They were a group of three – three young women, calmly waiting for the time to pass by. There was nothing to look at from where they were; just a patch of dead grass and a small cluster of eucalyptus trees.

A young couple were fooling around one of the trees. This made the seniors a bit uncomfortable.They either had to act like they didn't notice or as if they didn't care. Although they tried their hardest to seem disinterested, their eyes tend to wander and accidentallyfall upon the two as they engaged in lust without consideration of prying eyes. It seemed that they were doing it on purpose, just to show off how much they've matured since their earlier years in junior high.

"Fuckin freshmens man... They're fucking weirdos."

Lisa laughed attheremark. "You're sad, Christie!"she replied jokingly. "It's not like you were never one before."

By now she had learned become used to Christie's opinions, which were always insulting and odious no matter what she talked about. And because Lisa had never been raised in a negative environment, it was alarming when she had first been introduced to Christie, who wasn't exactly known for being likeable, but for being over-dominant and short tempered. Two years ago, it seemed unlikely for the two opposites to befriend one another, but as time progressed, so did their acquaintance grown into a friendship.

"I know but… Look at them!" Christie spat. Her eyebrows began to twitch. "They think they're the shit'n all, those cocky bastards… We weren't like that when we freshmen." She shook her head. "I swear, that generation is fucked up."

Lisa shrugged her shoulders. "Oh yeah," she remembered, becoming excited,"there's a new girl coming over. I signed up to be her tour guide."

Niki made a face. "Excuse me, a freshman?" Along with Christie, she didn't take a liking to freshmen. But disregarding Christie's antics, her thoughts about freshmen were more based on how the senior boys portrayed the freshman girls. And the senior boys definitely thought that the freshmen girls were hotter than the senior girls, which disturbed Niki a whole lot, since she was a senior herself.

"I don't know yet," Lisa answered, "but I did hear Kasumi mention it was going to be her sister or something."

"Who the hell's Kasumi?"

"You, mean, you don't know her? She's Hayate's sister."

Niki made another face. "What year?"

"Junior."

"Oh, the Asian chick with red hair…" She pondered, searching if such a girl was registered in her memory. "…Yeah, I know her… she's that damn slut!"

Christie sneered. "Whatever, your just jealous because she doesn't have to work hard for her guys."

"What does she got that I ain't?"

"She has a brain, that's for sure."

"And she doesn't date guys for money." Lisa added.

Niki rolled her eyes. "Whatever…"

"Hey y'all!" someone shouted from the side.

Everyone turned to unexpectedly see Tina, the fourth member of their group, standing right next to them.

"Tina!" Lisa exclaimed.

"Lisa!"

The two best friends jumped, hugged, and kissed both cheeks, something that they had officialized as their signature greeting years ago.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were still in Texas?"

"No, I just got back! The school was on the way, so I told my dad to pull over so I could check on you guys. I'll be here tomorrow though."

"So did Brenda end up coming after all?"

"Yup… And she was acting like a total bitch, like always. Whatever. Anyways, I don't wanna talk about it anymore. What did I miss?"

Christie sighed. "Nothing much… Jan Lee and Ashley hooked up – that didn't last very long. Niki and Lei Fang got into a catfight, but the history teacher broke it off. A group of students were expelled for being caught with weed… those idiots. The guys' football team won championship. Niki won-"

"I, of course, won Home Coming Queen!" Niki interrupted.

Tina jumped and applauded her. "Really? Ahh! I always knew you could reach your dream! Who's the King?"

Christie shuddered "… Zack…"

Tina's jaw dropped. "Zack? You're kidding me, right! He's such a loser! Ugh! I can't believe it! How the hell could that jackass be Prom King? Gawd!"

"There's nothing wrong with Zack!" Niki defended. She snorted and ruminated of the golden moment. "I kinda like him…"

"Have you gone insane? Zack is a creep!"

"Hey, Tina, did you know there's a new girl coming in tomorrow?" Lisa interrupted.

"Really?" She turned to Lisa. "In the middle of the school year? You're giving her a tour of the school, I bet."

"Of course, as always."

"I knew it, you over achiever!"

"She's Hayate's sister, did you know that?" mentioned Christie.

"Whoa, he has another sister? How exciting. I can't wait to meet her!"

Niki rolled her eyes. "You want to meet a possible Kasumi clone?"

"What do you have against Kasumi? She's nice."

"Niki's just jealous, that's all." Lisa answered.

"Ok, enough with the jealous thing already! Why would I be jealous of her if I'm obviously one of the most popular girls at school? I mean, I'm Home Coming Queen, I can get any guy I want! I out beat her in every single category! There's just no competition between her and me."

"Oh brother…"

There was a honking coming from the parking lot. "TINA!!"

"Your dads calling you." Lisa giggled.

"My dad is so stupid sometimes… I got'ta go now. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Tina hugged all of them, each saying their goodbyes.

It was early when Tina had awakened. Definitely morning, but still pretty dark. The streetlamps were on and a couple of cars would stop by neighbors and honk for their carpools. The phone had been ringing for quite a long time already, but Tina didn't bother to pick it up until Bass yelled for her to answer it all the way from his room. Sleeping face down on her pillow, she weakly extended her arm to feel for the phone. She toppled over a few trinkets on the side table, but was too tired and sleepy to care what she was doing.

Tina pulled the receiver by her ear, but too hard that the base of the phone dropped to the ground. Grouchily she picked it up and pulled it near her.

"…Hello?…" she asked. Her voice was a bit raspy.

"Tina? This is Lisa." She sounded sulkier than usual.

"Oh, hey, what's up?" Tina shifted to her side and cleared her throat.

"Nothing, just… You know how I signed up to give the new girl a tour?"

"Yeah. What about?"

"Well I caught that flu that was going around just last night."

"Awh, that sucks!"

"Yeah, I'd do it myself, but my mom wants to keep me home … sniff… I was wondering…" She paused for a second to blow her nose. "Sorry about that…sniff… I just wanted to ask you if you mind doing it for me."

"Oh no, that's no problem! Of course I can."

"Thanks a lot. I knew I could count on you."

"Hey, what are friends for?"

" Thanks. Tell me all about it later, okay?"

"Alright."

"I'll see you soon."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye…" Tina put down the receiver and smothered her face back on the pillow.
