Lloyd- HOW! You're making me look friggin' dumb!
Kaze- Well…maybe he's saying you were dumb to begin with.
Lloyd- WHY AM I TREATED THIS WAY!
Kaze- Dunno. But now it's time for… … … …THE DISCLAIMER.
Everybody else- #sweatdrop# You say it so dramatically…
Kaze- Why shouldn't I? I think…Hikari should do it!
Hikari- 'kay. Kaze doesn't own ToS, Namco does. However, she does own this fic, and me. Although that fact scares me.
Kaze- #looks up from reading angst fics# Why?
Hikari- #sweatdrop# No reason…
Kaze- Whatever. ON WITH THE FIC:D
ToS: Rain, Rain, Go Away!
by D.D.Z.
After meeting Hikari, the girl that came out of nowhere, the group at the big black box crowded around the GameCube while Hikari gave them a short explanation.
"Ya see, the GameCube plays games that'll look like this." She opened the case of "Super Smash Bros. Melee, and held up the disc.
Raine leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the object. "Are they all that small?"
"Yeah."
"…"
"…Well, anyways, you already know what these buttons on the GameCube do, right?"
Zelos' hand shot up it in the air as he shouted, "Oh! Pick me! Pick me!"
"Uh…Zelos?"
"On, open, and reset!"
"Uh, very good Zelos…ya want a cookie?"
Zelos' eyes started shinning. "Sure!"
"That's nice."
Three seconds passed before Zelos asked, "Where's my cookie?"
"What? All I asked you was if you wanted a cookie, not that I'd give you one."
Zelos facefaulted while everybody else laughed.
"Okay, continue." Raine said after she had stopped laughing.
"Alright, but before we continue with the GameCube, let me tell you about this thing." She jerked a thumb at the big black box as she spoke.
This time, Lloyd's hand shot up in the air.
Hikari sighed. "Yes, Lloyd?"
"It's a big black box!"
Hikari sweatdropped. "Well, you got the description right…"
Lloyd looked sad. "So that's not its name?"
"No, it's called a television, or TV for short."
"TV?"
"Yup."
Lloyd seemed to look thoughtful after that, so Hikari continued. "Okay, in order to put the game into the GameCube, you press open-" Hikari pushed open, and the top, well, opened,"-and then you put the game in there, and then close it!" She did what she said as everybody else looked on in wonder.
"…Okay…So, what happens now?" Sheena asked.
Hikari's eyes had a mysterious glint in them. "Now, we push On."
Tension in the group rose as her hand neared the button…she paused for a dramatic effect and then-
Kaze- A cow said moo!
Kratos- A cow said moo?
Kaze- Er…well…yeah, on with the story!
Everybody (except Hikari) gasped as a purple block fell on the screen and traveled around the TV, finally jumping and twirling in the air, and then plopped down and the screen then read: 'Nintendo GameCube.'
Everybody 'ohhed' and 'ahhed.' Hikari smiled.
But it didn't stop there. The word 'Nintendo" appeared next, with a sleeping dog beneath it. After that, it disappeared. The movie that followed left everybody (except for, once again, Hikari) with wide eyes and open mouths.
"Wow…" Lloyd breathed, awe-struck.
"That was so cool!" Colette squealed.
"Interesting…" Raine muttered.
"Some of the girls wear nice pink dresses..." Zelos mused.
"That elf in green looked cool…" Yuan said.
"This'll be fun!" Sheena yelled, going into her famous stance that shows her pointing at something. "Let's play!"
Hikari nodded; all this excitement was making her want to play more and more. "Alright!" She grabbed one of the controllers, and pushed the start button. The screen changed from the title screen to one with different options, like: 1P Mode, Vs. Mode, Trophies, Option, and Data. Hikari moved the highlighted bar to the 'Vs. Mode' bar, and clicked the button 'a.' Next she selected 'Melee,' and then turned around to the rest of the group. "Okay, who wants to try first?"
Sheena's hand shot into the air. "I do!"
Lloyd's hand joined hers. "I'll try! I'll try!"
Zelos crossed his arms. "Nah, maybe not me."
Raine shook her head. "I prefer to watch."
"I'll cheer for Lloyd!" Colette squealed excitedly.
"And I'll be the elf in green!" Yuan declared.
Hikari smiled. "Okay, so it's Lloyd, Yuan, and Sheena. Come sit down next to me, grab a controller, and I'll teach you how to play."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile, Kratos and Mithos were deciding on the next, and last, song to do on DDR. Well…okay, arguing about which song to do next.
"This one, damnit!" Mithos shouted. "It sounds the best!"
"Like hell it does!" Kratos retorted. "This one's the best out of all of the ones so far!"
The two angels were switching back and forth between 'Exotic Ethnic' (for Mithos) and 'Rhythm and Police,' (for Kratos) trying to choose between them. As each angel shouted, Genis, Regal, and Presea's head went back and forth between them like you'd see in a tennis match.
Not able to stand one more minute of this arguing, Genis stood up on his two feet determinedly and shouted, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST VOTE ON IT!"
Both Kratos and Mithos stopped and looked at the small half-elf. "But there's only two of us," Mithos said.
Genis smacked his forehead. "Us three will vote too, stupid."
"Oh, well excuse me!"
"You're excused."
Before Mithos could do anything or say anything else, Kratos yelled, "LET'S JUST VOTE ALREADY!"
Everybody stared at Kratos for his sudden outburst.
Finally, Genis broke the uncomfortable silence. "Right…okay, who wants Kratos and Mithos to play 'Exotic Ethnic?'"
Mithos' hand shot up in the air, along with….well….nobody's.
"HEY!" Mithos yelled, furious.
Genis sighed. "Okay…'Rhythm and Police?'"
Kratos' hand shot up, along with Regal's and Genis'...and…Presea's?
"HA! What now?" Kratos yelled in triumph, pointing at Mithos.
"I say we dance now!" Mithos yelled back.
"You're on!" The purple-clad angel selected the song, and the song loaded.
"You're going down!" Kratos taunted.
"No, I'm going up, down, right and left!" Mithos shouted back at Kratos.
#crickets chirping#
Kaze– What the heck?
Kratos– Kaze…
Kaze– Oh, right! No more interrupting!
"Mithos, that was the worst joke I've ever heard," Genis stated.
"Stupid joke," Presea said in her monotone voice.
"I've heard better," Regal added.
Mithos crossed his arms and pouted slightly.
Kratos positioned himself on the left and right arrows as the words 'Final Stage' showed up and the song finished loading. "Ahem….Mithos…"
Mithos growled slightly. "What now, o great Kratos?" he said sarcastically.
Kratos smirked as he started to dance. "Well, nothing really…only that the songs starting…or, really, started."
Mithos' eyes nearly popped out of his head. "WHAT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?" he shouted as he struggled to catch up.
The red-haired angel's smirk widened. "Well, you were pouting, and I didn't want to disturb you."
Genis laughed. "Yeah, and you pout like a girl!"
Presea turned her head to the silver-haired boy. "And what is wrong with how a girl pouts?"
Genis stopped laughing, and started stumbling over his words. "W-well, uh, n-no-nothing, it's just that…."
Regal laughed silently at Genis' predicament. "Ohhhhh, burnnn…."
Presea blinked. "Well?"
"Uhhhh, well, it….it…it's just not right for a guy to pout like a girl! That's all!" Genis declared.
"That's not the answer I like."
Genis' mouth fell open. "WHAT! Then what do you want!"
"How about something better?" Regal suggested.
"HEY!" Genis shouted, rounding on the blue-haired man. "WHOSE SIDE'RE YOU ON!"
"Mine," Presea stated.
Genis sweatdropped. 'That was another rhetorical question…' (1)
"HEY! DO YOU MIND! WE'RE TRYING TO DANCE HERE!" a certain blonde-haired angel shouted.
"You'd better be quiet, or you gonna mess up," Kratos advised.
"YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!"
"Well, I could be. One day."
"No day!"
"That makes no sense."
"SO!"
"Hey, the song's done!" Kratos said as they landed the last step.
"Okay, let's see how badly I beat you!" Mithos challenged.
"You wish!" Kratos retorted.
The screen for the grades of 'Rythem and Police' showed up….the grades scrolled quickly…before giving Kratos an A and Mithos a B.
"No fair!" Mithos complained, going back into his 'girly' pouting stance.
"Wait you guys! They're giving you another score! It must be the overall score!" Genis shouted.
Mithos quickly got out of his pouting stance. "Yes! I'll beat you here!"
Both angels stared at the screen as the grades stared scrolling again…they were slowing down when…
The screen went black.
Kratos and Mithos were still staring at the screen. Staring and staring…until Mithos fainted and Kratos exploded!
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPANED!" Kratos roared.
(1) In chapter 5, Mithos asked Presea "IS THAT ALL I'M WORTH!" when Presea bet so little on him. But she wasn't supposed to answer, and…she did. Um…yeah.
Kratos- WHAT HAPPANED KAZE!
Kaze- Erm…if I say I'll give it away!
Lloyd- So you're gonna leave it right there?
Kaze- For now…
Kratos- #fuming#
Mithos-#still fainted#
Next time!- We find out what happened to the DDR machine, and Lloyd, Sheena, Yuan, and Hikari start playing SSBM!
Kaze- Okay, that's all for now! Next update will come sooner, I promise! Hope you're all having a fun summer vacation! So I'll see you next time on….
Lloyd- NO! Don't say it!
Kaze- Tosserga!
Lloyd- #falls on the ground# She said it…
Ciao for now!
