Me: Sā minna-san!
Wooju: Emily, why are you talking in Japanese?
Me: Watashi ga dekiru kara.
Tara: Hey! How come she can call you Emily!?

Episode 9
Ai's POV
"Starting today, we're an official club!" Shingo announced, "The Vanguard Club I've always dreamed of! My high school life is smooth sailing! Spring in full bloom!"
"You're seein' the world through rose-colored glasses!" Naoki laughed, "Although I feel the same way."
"No, no! Someone with a twisted personality like you can't say stuff like that, Ishida."
"Hey! Don't call my big brother twisted!" Sakura interrupted.
"Hey, Sakura?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Why are you here?"
"I persuaded big brother to take me along."
"More like forced," Naoki murmured.
"The apple never falls too far from the tree," Shingo sighed.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Sakura questioned menacingly.
"Nothing!"
"Geez, she's like a mini you!" Naoki said to me.
"Not really," I giggled as Shingo and Sakura argued.
"Sup guys!" Lauran greeted as she and Yukino entered the club room. They had passed the entrance test yesterday.
"Um… Well, shall we begin club activities?" Mr. Nakamurabashi walked in after them.
"I'm totally ready!" Naoki shouted while holding up his Vanguard deck.
"I'm thoroughly prepared!" Shingo agreed while revealing his Vanguard deck as well.
"Um, actually, before you play cards, there's something I'd like to do," Mr. Nakamurabashi explained.
"What is it?" Shingo asked.
"The Student Council told me to have you decide your club's captain and vice-captain. So let's stalk about that today."
"Aw, I wanted to learn about Vanguard," (lol just look at the wiki) Sakura pouted.
"Captain," Misaki muttered.
"Vice-captain," Korin murmured.
"I see… I guess it is necessary, huh?" Aichi thought out loud.
"What? Aren't we gonna fight?" Naoki complained.
"Well, there need to be two people present at Student Council meeting," Mr. Nakamurabashi explained, "and there are a lot of other things that needs to be done by two people. This club only has eight members at the moment, so voting for two of you wouldn't be too complicated, I think… Um, okay… Mr. Sendou Ms. Toshiki…"
"Call me Ai," I smiled.
"Yes?" Aichi asked.
"You formed this club, so why don't you become the captain and vice-captain?"
"M-Me, be a captain?"
"I think you'd be great!" I smiled before turning to Mr. Nakamurabashi, "But I'm gunna have to decline vice-captain. You see, I'm more of a tell-me-to-do-something-and-I'll-do-it (i don't think that phrase will catch on...) kind of girl."
"But, see, I've never been a captain before…" Aichi argued, "And I don't have any experience as a class representative of as a leader in anything either… So I can't do it!"
"What? But I think you'd make a great captain!" Lauran argued.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Sendou?" Shingo asked.
"That's right! You're the one who led Q4," Misaki agreed.
"But…" Aichi started.
"No buts! You're the captain!" I pumped my fist into the air.
"A-Alright, I'll be the captain. I'm looking forward to working with you!" Aichi bowed.
"So, about the vice-captain…" Mr. Nakamurabashi continued, "Does anyone want to take the position?"
"Yes! I want to!" Shingo raised his hand.
"Um, Shingo Komoi…"
"If I become the vice-captain, I'll get this club started right away on making the Cardfight Club Miyaji Academy's shining star. First, I'll build up the number of club members with this month's target being one hundred! (Me: Sore wa kōshiki de aru! Shingo wa hijōshikidesu! Wooju: *Nods head* Whatever she said!) Then I'll establish Cardfight Clubs in the middle school and elementary divisions, to raise Miyaji's future fighters."
"Yay!" Sakura cheered. She is still in middle school after all.
"Further, we will spread beyond Miyaji into community-based club activates, accepting locals into our club, and eventually people from all over the country! Ultimately, the Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club will have links worldwide, (Me: Sate, kore wa kyōki no uchitannaru desu! hontōni Shingo! Sekai no keikaku o hikitsugu!) and make every effort to bring about world peace! (Me: …Sekai heiwa no randamu genkyū… Wooju and Tara: … Random mention of world peace… i think thats too ambitious... i mean how can world peace come from a children's card game?) That's all!"
"I-Is anyone else interested?" Mr. Nakamurabashi asked. No one raised their hands.
"I got no interest in bein' vice-captain of whatever…" Naoki announced.
"Why not let the person who wants to do it, do it?" Misaki reasoned.
"Agreed," Korin said.
"Same here!" Lauran and Yukino agreed.
"Yes!" Shingo kind of shout-whispered.
"I don't know… Why don't we all sleep on it overnight?" Mr. Nakamurabashi (Me: Man! It's so hard to type out his name over and over again! thats what copy and paste is for my friend ^^) suggested, "We'll decide tomorrow."
"Whatever…" Naoki said flatly.
"Guess it can't be helped…" Korin sighed.
"Guess not," Misaki agreed.
-A few hours later-
"Good night Aichi!" I poked my head in his room and smiled.
"Ai, are you sure you don't wanna be vice-captain?" Aichi asked.
"100% sure!"
"If you say so…"
Korin's POV
"TAKUTO!" Wako shouted, "Imma go get ice cream (EMILY ARE YOU A FREAKING FORTUNE TELLER. I'M EATING ICECREAM RIGHT NOW) ! You want some?"
"What? We just had dinner!" Takuto replied in disbelief.
"But my tummy still needs more food (- sadly, this is true)!" Wako argued as her stomach growled.
"Alright, I'm not hungry though," Takuto sighed before turning to me, "What's wrong? I've counted twenty sighs coming from you today. You haven't changed out of your uniform and you've been on the same page of that magazine forever… Did something happen at school?"
"Just at the club…" I replied and let out another sigh.
"That makes twenty-one. So what happened at your club?" Takuto asked after taking another sip of his tea.
"Our faculty advisor said we're going to decide on the vice-captain, so tonight, he wants us to think over whether we want to do it or not. Aichi's been chosen as the captain…but to be honest, I have no Idea what a vice-captain even does…"
"Then why don't you give it a try? You've never done it before, so of course you don't know what it entails. That's why you should give it a shot. Besides, it would let you spend more time with Aichi, and that'd be fun!"
"That last part was uncalled-for! I'm going to bed."
"I'M BACK!" Wako shouted.
"Welcome home! That was fast," Takuto greeted.
"Yeah! I ran all the way there and ba- AAAAAAHHHHH!" I heard a thud and I'm going to bet she tripped on the stairs again (- this is true too...).
-Next Day After School-
Ai's POV
"Well, everyone did you give it some thought?" Mr. Nakamurabashi asked, "So who would like to be the vice-captain?"
Everyone but me, Lauran, Yukino, and Sakura raised their hands.
"Wonderful!"
"Everyone… Thank you!" Aichi smiled.
"Unfortunately, not everyone can do it… What should we do here?" Mr. Nakamurabashi asked Aichi.
"Oh! I know!" I shouted, "Lauran, Sakura, drum roll please!" Lauran and Sakura started banging the table as Yukino sighed and shook her head. "IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER VANGUARD TOURNAMENT!" I epically put one foot on a chair and pointed towards the sky.
"I see! So you play Vanguard at a time like this!"
We made a little ladder and the first matches were Misaki vs. Shingo and Korin vs. Naoki. Of course, the girls won their matches. (Me: Onnanoko pawā! Wooju and Tara: Girl Power!)
"Korin, Naoki, nice fight," Aichi complimented.
"Now we just have the deciding match, right?" Mr. Nakamurabashi asked as I nodded.
Aichi and I looked over to Misaki and Korin and I swear there were sparks flying and they were on fire… This is gunna be one awesome fight! (Wooju: Prussia 33333333! Me: Mōshiwake arimase n ga, kanojo wa heta ria o takusan mi te iru…) But Naoki said some touching stuff, so we let him be the vice-captain.
Me: ā, happīendo!
Wooju: Prussia says "awesome" all the time!
Tara: I actually understood what you just said, Em-chan!
Wooju: I didn't!
