XenoMami's POV
Ami was the second person to get out. I think she did it on purpose. She obviously wasn't as excited about this water balloon fight as I was. But it didn't matter! I was sure I would lead her team to victory.
Right now Ami's team consisted of me, Minase-chan, Azusa-san, Star-chan, Miki-chan, and Ritsuko-chan.
Amazing-chan's team was Ganaha, MuraMako, Demon General, herself and Sexy-chan, Yayoi-chan, and Chihaya-chan.
I watched as Star-chan hurled a good-sized balloon right at Chihaya-chan, and it hit her square in the chest.
Kotori-chan blew a whistle. "That's your third hit, Chihaya-san! You're out!"
Chihaya-chan grumbled something and ran off the field.
Now we're even!
As I was thinking this and not paying attention, Ganaha threw a balloon at me and I was struck in the arm. I let out a cry of annoyance.
"Hey! I wasn't ready!" I whined. Ganaha shrugged.
"Too bad. 'Ey Makot—er, MuraMako, pass me that there green balloon, and I'm gonna chuck it over at…y'know what, I ain't gonna tell ya where I'm chuckin' it! Just chuck it over here an' I'll catch it."
"Got it. You mean this one?"
I slowly lifted a pink balloon from the ground.
"That's the one. Eh…w-wait a second, Makoto…MuraMako! Don't try to hit me with it! I said chuck it! Don't just…chuck it!"
I hurled the balloon at Ganaha and watched it fly into her shoulder. She screeched in alarm.
"What the…?!"
"And that marks your second hit, Ganaha!" Kotori-chan called. "Mami, Ganaha, Demon General, Miki-chan, and Star-chan…you guys are on your last legs! The rest of you, you have only one hit. Keep playing!"
iDOMami's POV
It was getting pretty rough out here. Since Chihaya-onee-chan got out, Demon General, Ricchan, Yayoicchi, and Miki-Miki had gotten out. That meant that on my team was Ganaha, MuraMako, me, and Sexy-chan. On Futami's team was Mami-chan, Minase-chan, Azusa-onee-chan, and Star-chan. We were even.
It was a really exciting line-up. I couldn't wait to see who was gonna win, although it was totally obvious that Sexy-chan and I were gonna dominate the playing field!
Then Star-chan got hit with a balloon. Piyo-chan blew a whittle* thingy.
"Star-chan, that's your third hit! You're out! Azusa-san, Ganaha, Sexy-chan, and MuraMako, and Mami-chan, you guys have two hits. Amazing-chan and Minase-chan, you two only have one hit. Be careful out there!"
I picked up two balloons and ran to Sexy-chan. "Sexy-chan! Team up with Amazing-chan and let's do that special thing!" I begged.
She nodded. "Alrighty-tighty! Let's do that thing, then," she agreed. Quickly, we linked arms. "Ready, and…"
All at once, Sexy-chan and I raised our arms and flung the balloons in a criss-cross direction, and then switched arms and flung our other balloons backwards.
There were three whittle* noises. "Azusa-san, you're out! Minase-chan, that's two hits for you. Oh, and Ganaha, you were hit by Minase-chan again, so you're out!"
"Ganaha, don't go!" Sexy-chan and I whimpered at the same time.
Ganaha shrugged. "Sorry, guys, looks like I letcha down. 'Ey MuraMako, help 'em bring home a victory for me, 'kay?"
MuraMako nodded and gave Ganaha a fist bump. "You got it, Ganaha. Hey The Great Sexy Beautiful one, can you pass me that orange one?"
XenoMami's POV
It was really close now, a two-on-two battle. I'd managed to knock MuraMako out of the game with a fast throw while she was distracted with Minase-chan. That meant it was Minase-chan and me versus Amazing-chan and Sexy-chan. I was excited. I would definitely get Ami's team a victory!
"You guys think you can win, don't you?" Amazing-chan taunted. "That's funny. Sexy-chan and Amazing-chan are gonna wipe the floor with you…and then wring you out and do it again and eat the leftovers!"
"What leftovers? That doesn't even make sense," Minase-chan scoffed.
Sexy-chan pegged her with a balloon. Sensing an opportunity, I threw the blue balloon in my hand at her and hit her in the head. She let out a cry.
Kotori-chan puffed on her whistle. "Minase-chan and Great-chan! You guys are out! Mami-chan and Amazing-chan, it's just the two of you now."
Sexy-chan let out an annoyed cry. Minase-chan grumbled something.
"I wasn't ready…"
"That's not fair, Mami-chan, Sexy-chan was preoccupied with Minase-chan!"
"Hey, wait a second!" MuraMako suddenly cried. Everyone turned to her.
Did the balloon not actually hit Minase-chan? Are head shots illegal? I wondered. She must have seen something…
"I just realized something…" MuraMako muttered, turning to Miura-san. "How come you let the twins be The Great Sexy Beautiful One and The Great Sexy Amazing One, but I couldn't be Super Kawai Adorable Sexy Girl?!"
Half of us face-palmed.
"Because a title like that doesn't suit you in any way at all," Miura-san said, giggling.
"Do you hate me, or something?"
"No, I'm just saying you aren't very cute, and you aren't sexy at all, and you aren't exactly a girl in every way. No offense, Makoto-chan…MuraMako."
MuraMako looked away from her. "You're so cruel, Miura-san…" she pouted. "Hey AoMako, aren't you at least the slightest bit offended too? After all, she's technically talking about you too…"
"Don't talk to me," AoMako ordered. "But if you want an answer, I don't care."
"Whatever, I guess. Go ahead and continue the battle."
"Alrighty-tighty!" Amazing-chan cheered. "Wow, that really is fun to say. Try it!"
"Alrighty-tighty…?" Minase-chan said tentatively. "Huh…it actually is kinda fun."
"See? Alrighty-tighty. Alrighty-tighty. Alrighty-LOOSEY! It's still fun!"
I slowly bent down and picked up a bloated green balloon.
"Now you people try it," Amazing-chan demanded, still speaking to the crowd. It seemed she'd forgotten that she hadn't won yet.
The rest of the people at the field started copying Amazing-chan and Sexy-chan (aside from AoMako, who was just sitting there looking bored).
"Alrighty-tighty-loosey. Alrighty-loosey-tighty. Alrighty-righty. Alrighty-LEFTY!" Amazing-chan chanted, laughing. I prepared to throw the balloon.
"OOH! Here's an awesome one…you people ready?"
"YEAH!"
"OK! Here it goes…alrighty-tighty-loosey-lefty-righty! Yes!"
I threw the balloon. Amazing-chan turned just in time to let out an alarmed screech before it smacked into her stomach. Kotori-chan piped three sharp breaths into the whistle.
"And Amazing-chan has gotten her third hit, so you're out! Futami's team is the winner. Great job, Mami-chan!"
I let out a cheer. The crowd applauded…or, at least the people in the crowd who were on my team. The rest booed.
"Alrighty-tighty-loosey-lefty-righty-lighty-darky…plighty…fighty-peacey! That's the end of it, then. Sorry Amazing-chan couldn't win for us, Sexy-chan." Amazing-chan looked over at Sexy-chan, who shook her head.
"Sexy-chan got out sooner then Amazing-chan did, so Sexy-chan is at fault too."
I grinned. "Hey, we should do that again sometime!"
Ganaha and Hibiki leapt up. "Yeah, definitely!" Ganaha shrieked. "I barely got to play. I wanna rematch, yo!"
I nodded. "Then, tomorrow we'll play again?"
"NO!" Iori-chan snapped. "That was…exhausting! We'll play again next month, OK?"
I nodded.
And thus, plans were made for The Second Monthly Twin-Hosted Water Balloon Battle!
*Mami means whistle both times.
(quick AN: WHAT DID I JUST WRITE. Is it any surprise that I had the most fun writing as Ami and Mami? From now on I'm going to say "alrighty-tighty-loosey-lefty-righty-lighty-darky-plighty-fighty-peacey".
