Day 2, PEP Rally
Kid yawned, leaning onto Soul's side.
"Get off of me Kid!" Soul growled, pushing the Shinigami away.
"But I'm tiiiiireeeed." He whined.
"Well, too bad! You gotta get through the school day if you want to be your polar opposite."
"Yes mother."
The albino glared at him while Black Star laughed behind his hand.
"Shut up Kid." He grumbled and got up. "We gotta go to the gym for the pep rally."
Kid groaned and shifted in the grass.
They had chosen to go outside during lunch, an easier way for Kid to tell them how yesterday's game went. The day had gone by surprisingly fast for them.
"Stop groaning and get up. You get to see your girlfriend-"
"She's not my girlfriend!" He shouted. "I don't like her that way! She's a Thompson!"
Black Star tilted his head. "What's wrong with being a Thompson?"
Soul and Kid looked at him as if he was crazy.
"You mean, you don't know?" His golden eyes bore into his blue-green ones as he sat up.
"Uh... No..." The boy had started fidgeting.
Soul sighed and leaned on the trees next to them. "It's a sad story that practically everyone knows."
"Yeah, except for Black Star apparently." Kid's lips curved into a smirk.
In response, he crossed his arms and pouted. "Well, I try hard not to get into anyone's business. Unlike you."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!"
"That you don't know how to keep your head out of other people's business!" Soul snapped. Though he was friend's with the boy, he was quite annoying. "Now shut up so I can tell him!"
"I do not! I respect other people's space! Not like you!" Kid grinned cheekily.
"What? I always keep my head out of my ass, not like you Kid." Soul retorted.
"You know who's ass I've kept my head in? Your mom!"
"SOUL CHOP!"
As Kid lay in the grass unconscious, Soul looked back at Black Star who looked at Kid with wide eyes.
"So, where was I?"
Black Star sighed, momentarily forgetting about Kid. "You haven't even started."
"Okay then, I'll start now." Soul gestured for Black Star to sit down. "Well, you should know that Liz and Patty are orphans. They were disowned by their parents after Patty got last place in a spelling bee. They used to be so careless, worry free until that day. It changed their life of course.
Their parents were well-known genius's. Their dad had abandoned them for fear that their mom would turn on him, he had written Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs. Their mom had figured out how to decode locks and had the memory of a Clark's Nutcracker bird.
Of course, their mother had expected Patty to win the spelling bee. And had disowned her for not being smart enough. Liz wouldn't let her sister go out into the real world on her own, so she disowned her own mom. Just for the sake of her sister." Soul glanced at Black Star, who's lips were trembling and cheeks wet from tears.
"That's terrible!" He cried. "What a horrid human being! Who does that?!"
"The Thompsons... Everyone fears their knowledge. And they should." Soul sighed, remembering how when they first met; she was surprised to see he hadn't made an excuse to leave.
The three-striped hair boy sat up. "But that doesn't mean they shouldn't get to know them."
"Great, you're awake." Soul looked at his watch then at the other two. "We should go now. The pep rally will probably start soon."
"Then we shall go to the kingdom of broken hearts and fallen dreams!" Kid declared getting up and posing. "Onward my friend's! For there are lovely damsels in distress awaiting our arrival!" He said before taking off.
"Hey! Wait up!" Soul yelled before running after him.
"W-Wait for me!" Black Star called out, going after them.
"Make way! Albarn's coming through!" A boy had called out.
Without hesitation, everyone cleared a path for Maka and the girls to go through.
"But she's so annoying! I mean, it was just once and I apologized!" Tsubaki complained.
The eldest blonde weapon rubbed the bridge of her nose. "For the last time Tsubaki, you didn't apologize. You told her to bow down to you."
"As she should! I am her goddess! She should- KYA!"
Maka yanked the raven-haired girl onto the first step of the bleacher. "Shut up will ya! My girls are gonna be out there in any minute and I want to see what they have planned!" She shouted at her as they all sat down.
Tsubaki grumbled under her breath while Liz patted Patty's head, who hung onto her older sister's arm, and Maka pulled on her skirt.
"Albarn."
The young girl looked up with wide eyes.
"OX?!" The girls screamed.
The once handsome heartthrob, now looked like an absolute nerd. He didn't have the full head of hair as before, two horns on the sides of his head remained. He had circle framed glasses that had a glare and never showed his beautiful eyes that everyone once admired.
"You- You-" Maka's throat was dry. This could not be happening.
"Ha!" Liz started to laugh. "And you called me a nerd! Look who's talking now!" She clutched her stomach, her shoulders shaking.
Tsubaki joined in and Patty laughed quietly with a blush.
"Maka looks like a nerd too! She doesn't even deserve to be one!" Ox stood with hands on his hips.
Okay. Before all this switched personality shit of a week, Ox and Maka were really close. Close as anyone could be.
'But fuck that.'
"Says the boy who's standing like a complete girl."
"WHY YOU-!"
"GOOD AFTERNOON SHIBUSEN!" A joyful voice cut through the gym, silencing all the students.
Everyone standing were now sitting. Ox had disappeared, most likely dragged off by his new weapon (who he had been bragging about since the morning).
"I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED THE GAME YESTERDAY! BECAUSE WE WON!"
Cheers and applause echoed through the gym.
"BUT I HOPE TODAY IS EVEN BETTER FOR YOU! BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT PREPARED!"
The school was filled with students of great school spirit.
So each year was the same.
EVERYONE cheered.
Even the quiet Patty.
"OF COURSE, WE START OFF WITH OUR SCHOOL ALMA MATER. SO PLEASE STAND, AND ALL HATS AND SUNGLASSES OFF."
They all obeyed this rule and started to sing the Alma mater.
After the Alma mater, they all sat back down.
"TO START OFF OUR PEP RALLY WE WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR PRINCIPAL, LORD DEATH!"
Of course, everyone had cheered. The man was a legend pretty much everywhere.
The newbies seemed hesitant though, but quickly brushed it off as soon as the upper class men told them to cheer along.
Lord Death walked up to the center of the gym in all his glory, basking in all the cheers. Though he had a mean appearance, (A/N: His old appearance everyone) he was actually very easy to get along with.
"Good afternoon students! I know all of you new out there are probably wondering what this week is all about. Well, spirit week has become a tradition at the DWMA since it was suggested. Our academy isn't known to be a regular school for students to learn simplistic things such as math and English. But, we don't want our students to think that they're different than everyone. That is the last thing I want.
So to have everyone feel like this is an actual school, we've arranged spirit week. I hope everyone had fun last year and is having fun currently! Please keep up the good work at defeating kishins! You are all fantastic!" With that, he walked away.
The crowd cheered at everything that day.
"WE WILL NOW BE PLAYING A GAME. WE NEED 8 VOLUNTEERS."
Tsubaki quickly ran up, standing next to the MC. Kid, a boy named Hiro, Harvar, Jackie, a boy name Killik, and two of the staff members; Sid and Spirit also went up.
"DURING THIS GAME, YOU WILL BE PARTNERED UP. YOUR PARTNER WILL RUN UP TO ONE OF THE FOUR CHAIRS AND POP THEIR BALLOON THEN RUN BACK AND TAG YOU. THEN YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME. WHOEVER FINISHES FIRST WINS!"
Tsubaki and Kid partnered up, while Harvar picked Jackie, Killik picked Sid, and Hiro was stuck with Spirit.
"ON YOUR MARKS!"
Harvar sighed and looked around.
"READY!"
Sid narrowed his eyes at Spirit.
"GET SET!"
Spirit shrunk under Sid's eyes.
"GO!"
Tsubaki was the first to get to the chair. But apparently she didn't pop the balloon fast enough because Killik had already been tagged by Sid and was now jogging to the chair.
Spirit jumped up and down, trying to pop the balloon with his not-so-big butt while Hiro sweat dropped. Harvar walked back to Jackie after he had bounced once on his balloon and popped it.
Tsubaki tried to focus all her weight onto the balloon. Her cheek puffed out in anger and eyes focused on Kid, whom was cheering her on. When she finally popped the balloon, she threw her hands up and cheered in victory.
"HURRY UP TSUBAKI!" Kid called out.
She gave him a thumbs up and ran over to him. She and Kid high-fived, as he passed her and ran back to the chair.
Spirit bounced onto his balloon trying hard to pop it, only for it to fly from beneath his butt to the audience.
Maka face palmed. "Idiot."
Kid, Killik, and Jackie popped their balloons at the same time. A glare was thrown to each of the players.
Kid took off, Jackie's eyes widening as scrambled up and ran to Harvar.
Once Kid had ran up to Tsubaki, he smiled. "Yes! He did it!"
"AND THE WINNER IS... SPIRIT AND HIRO!"
"WHAT?!" The other 6 players yelled.
"WELL, WHILE YOU WERE ALL GLARING AT EACH OTHER, SPIRIT HAD MANAGED TO POP HIS BALLOON AND RUN OVER TO HIRO. HIRO ALSO HAD ENOUGH TIME TO POP HIS BALLOON AND GET BACK TO MR. ALBARN."
Tsubaki tried to run over to the MC, Kid grabbing her collar before she could do so.
"Well, damn." Jackie muttered.
"It's fine, you all did well." Hiro smiled.
"Thanks." Jackie blushed, happy that she had been given a compliment from the coolest guy at Shibusen.
They all headed back into the audience arena.
"OKAY, WELL, NOW WE HAVE A PERFORMANCE FROM THE FRESHMAN CLASS COUNCIL."
Maka yawned as she watched the group of freshman dance to a remix United States of Pop 2012(1).
"Hey, isn't our class next?" Liz asked.
"Huh. Yeah. I wonder what they have planned for us this time." Just like this year's freshmen, they had chosen one of DJ Earworm's song.
"WOW! INCREDIBLE DANCING FRESHMEN! LET'S SEE IF THE SOPHMORES CAN DO BETTER!"
Just as she had said that, the whole place went dark. Everyone had started panicking until a spotlight hit the center of the gym. There, 8 people had dressed up as if they had just gotten from a thrift store.
As predicted from Maka, "Thrift Shop(2)" started to play.
And boy did the student council suck at dancing. They were all over the place when dancing that song. Then there was a record scratch and "Wobble Baby Wobble(3)" started playing.
The whole school seemed to join in, running down the bleachers and onto the center.
Heck, even Patty had joined in.
Maka laughed as she wobbled with the rest of the school.
'This is the best spirit event week so far.' The ash blonde thought smiling.
Soul laughed as he, Black Star, and Kid left the school gym.
"Wow! I've never seen such an energetic crowd like that for years!" The red eyed boy smiled.
"Well, it is the DWMA. But, our class wasn't like this last year. Must be because this year's theme." Kid explained.
"Either way, I'm glad I moved back." He stopped and looked at his friend's. "What're you guys doing today?"
Kid scratched his head. "I actually have to get going to the school field. Tomorrow's the carnival and my dad wants me to make sure everything's going alright. Black Star's gonna come help."
Black Star smiled. "You can come too if you want."
Soul shook his head and let go of them. "Nah, it's fine. I still have to unpack. But I'll see you guys tomorrow." He waved and walked in the opposite direction of them.
"Bye!" The other two gave him one last wave before running off.
'Everything seems to have... Changed since I've left.' Soul sighed.
'I wonder what else has changed...'
(1): United States of Pop 2012 belongs to DJ Earworm, I have no rights to it whatsoever.
(2): Thrift Shop belongs to Macklemore, the best guy ever to make the song "Same Love".
(3): Wobble Baby Wobble belongs to VIC, I have no rights to it.
I think that's my longest chapter yet.
Okay, just so you people know, I've been kinda busy lately.
That's one of the reasons why I haven't updated in a long while. Another reason is because of procrastination,
But listening to music motivates me to finish things, which is why I'm back.
Hopefully I won't disappear to long again.
But in the mean time, review please!
Until next time!
