Okie, my favourite part! Replies to all the reviewers!!! Gomenasai, I repost this chapter because the thing that I feared most happened—there's no line separating each part although I did put them in when I was writing the fic. And Hahaha corrected the sequins spelling… muz have missed it when I was editing… yes… this is not enough because compare to previous chaps, this is shorter. Don't worry, I promise you the next chapter in another one or two weeks' time…

babymar-mar: muahhah go creative bishounen!! and i miss kunimitsu but o well its still cool!

Tezuka: What???

SadistFujiFan: aw that was sweet. everyone is working hard for their dorm. and kaido sewing so cute. imagining the people in dresses are so much fun. but how is ishida going to look? it's kind of scary. at least kabaji isn't going to be a girl too. i'm not sure who the yamabuki 'girls' are, (i dont think you stated it) but dan and nitobe would be really cute! oh yeah, akutsu is one, right? scary. i'm surprised yamabuki isn't dead yet. i'm a girl and i would kill anyone that put me into a dress, so i can imagine akutsu rampaging around killing people. shudders
""Fsh... z... Fsh... z... Fsh... z..." Kaidoh sleeps between his meal." had me laughing. i can just imagine kaido hissing in his sleep... FUNNY!
quick question: when are the groups going to PRACTICE or REHEARSE? it keeps saying that the festival is really close. but everyone is only making costumes and stuff. without practice, isn't the play going down the drain?

can't wait for inui juice debut! sadistfujifan

Inui: Ah… at least there's someone who appreciates my inventions.

Gakuto: Those juice are trash! And you are absolutely abnormal!

Inui: WHO IS ABNORMAL YOU SAY? -eerie background music-

Gakuto: Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Bakemono (monster)!!!!!

A/N: yes, I didn't mention some of the other participants because it's supposed to be a surprise hahahaha. Practise? Rehearse? Hm….. actually they are just going to catwalk and show their pretty costume and faces to the audience, that's all. It's not a play, zannen. At first I wanted to make it a play but realized that itmight takea long timeto finish this 'story' and I am afraid it's going to be draggy and no one like something that's too long and boring.

Don't worry, I'll put in a play/ sketch after several other chapters andepisodes of torturing the characters lol

Anonymous: Very interesting story! While I like it a lot, and can't wait for an update, I have on comment to make about it. The entire thing is in dialogue! So it gets really confusing. It's okay to explain whats going on without someone talking... But I guess this is your style of writing, eh? I understand... I will still read the continuation regardless.

A/N: Confusing… ka? Hontou ni!? Its confusing!? -faints- Hm… how do you put this? I don't know how to explain but I don't think stories are stories without much dialogue because if I interpret conversations as a third person, it won't be funny. Entire thing in dialogue? Hm… if you don't like too many dialogues then I'll try to lessen them okie? Thanks for your support anyway!

Ashura Akuma:

Banzai! You updated a long chappie. Sankyuu!

"Fsh... z... Fsh... z... Fsh... z..." Kaidoh sleeps between his meal. Hahahaha I love kawaii Kaidoh like that and he ! xD

And and and Akutsu dressed up as a girl ? prepared her camera load with full film hehe... But Ishida dressed up as a girl too? shuddered hahaha...

From what I see is that Shishido is cosplaying too rite? So he is still with his long hair?? Cos' it does seem weird with his short spiky messy hair xP

O tell Mizuki, can I join Seigaku instead hehe...

Kawamura: Hahaha Ashura-san, let's get prepared to take more of Akutsu's picture!

Dan: Sou desu!

Akutsu: Teme! You all want to shorten your already short lives!?

Tezuka: By the way,. Seigaku will consider your application if we ever turn into a co-ed school.

Yanagizawa: Sou dane. Only Mizuki accept girls dane. You better be careful with Mi—

Mizuki: Yanagizawa!!! I heard YOU!!!

A/N: Shishido eh? Hm… afraid to tell you he won't be in. Btw, Shishido cut his hair and wears a cap if you watch further.

Itifal: ow.. so Yuushi will not join? so sad!!
good it's Shinji and Kamio!! wai!!
Akutsu?? no, it's not surprising bout that.
gehehe

Tezuka?? come on, just wears that bunny suit!! 'evil grin'

Yuushi: Oh? Someone wants to see me dressed up as girl?

Gakuto: Hahahahahahahaha yea, Yuushi!

Tezuka: What is this? I still refuse to wear the bunny suit.

Kabaji: ……………………… -imagines Yuushi and Tezuka in bunny suit-

Kabaji –sweatdrop- and shook his head. He disapproves that idea too.

Hakudoshi-chan: How will this all turn out...its so awesome and cool its so unique

Momo: Unique…? Haha… hahahaha! –insane laugher- Then you drink the Inui juice!!! And now try his new stupid vinegar!

Inui: Momo, you hurt my feelings.

Fuji: A-ra? I never knew you have feelings.

Inui: Fuji… you are still angry about the aozu incident, aren't you?

(Att: Akazu, Aozu, Kirozu, Kurozu are all vinegar but in different colours…hahahahahahaha!)

RuByMoOn17: u put Akutsu in da contest?! OMg...hahahahahahaahha...i can't imagine Kabaji sewing but i can imagine Kaidoh sewing! kawai!

luv da story !

Akutsu: Teme!!! You have a problem with me!?

Kaidoh: Fssssssh. What's the meaning of this? Kabaji-kun can sew too. Fssssh. Don't look down on him. Fsssssh.

Kabaji: Usu.

Lightyearsaway: Ha, that was cute. Ryoma as Cinderella would be really cute! I want to huggle him! Well, update soon!

Momo: Echizen, what are you doing?

Ryoma: I am packing.

Momo: What?

Ryoma: I am leaving this competition.

Fuji: Echizen, come and try this on.

Ryoma: Aaaaaaaaargh! –screams in horror-

A/N: You'll know whyhe screamedwhen you read later lol

Craze: way too funny, i can't help but laugh all the way, but seeing Ryoma in dress will be something very cool.

Ryoma: Cool? COOL?

Tezuka: Don't worry, Echizen. It will be over soon.

Ryoma: Then buchou why don't you take part? People will forget about it soon.

Tezuka: …………………

Am loves Syusuke

I think that it should be like what they do for "Miss Universe", the school festival. If you haven't watched it it before. I'll tell you what it's about. The beauty pagents have to:
1. Introduce themselves to everyone. Tell them what they like and hobbies and stuff.
2. Perform a talent.
3. Catwalk down with the costumes.
4. Answer some questions,like: If you have one wish for the world, what would it be? Normally the pagents would say: World Peace or something like that.

They vote a certain amount of people off every round, for this though, make one person from each dorm be voted off, or just one winner at the end, or are you going to make the dorm win as a team beauty pagent thing. There might be something I missed out, 'cause it was a long time since I last watched "Miss Universe". I really don't think Akutsu should've been in the contest. He's too scary, but it makes sense to take the threat from Inui. Ishida is the Bandana Boy next to Kaidoh! Kentarou has a fro man!! He is the next Guy Sebastian if he sings for his talent.HAHAHAHA ROFL. (For those who don't know, Guy Sebastian was the first Australian idol!)Jiroh has to be the third beauty pagent for Hyotei. That would be so funny, if he fell asleep during the catwalk or something.

A/N: Fu yaaa I have been looking forward to reply you haha. Yes, it's like beauty pageant and yet, it's unlike that too. let me explain how it's like. It's going to be contestants coming up the stage and emcee announcing their title, name and character. they will just walk a little, stand for a while and then leave the stage. Yes, it's not much of a big deal actually hahahaha…

What Am loves Syusuke had just mentioned, I wanted to do it… In the beginning, I was torn in between a play and a real beauty pageant contest but finally settled down to something in between. Reason? Well.... a silly thought butI was afraid I couldn't make the play/ beauty contest interesting enough … however, now I realized that I shouldn't be afraid to express it. So I guess you all can anticipate –most probably- a play after several episodes… Don't worry, I'll figure it somehow hahahahaha. All of you just need to sit back and relax!

Btw, you are really good in guessing and giving opinions! Thanks a lot and it's really nice having you here! and yes, Guy Sebastian and Clay Aiken (thought he didn't manage to win Ruben Studdard)is so cool!

Kurokioku:

You do write good
Well if you dun mind Shonen-ai...I vote for OshiGaku!!
Theres not enough of them on !
Anyways
It
Doesn't
Matter
All
That
Matters
Is
That
You
Update!!

Gakuto: Me and… and… Yuushi!? –blush- How can you!?

Yuushi: What is it Gakuto? Aren't you supposed to bepractising? What are you doing here?

Gakuto: Yuu… Yuushi… kurokioku-san said… said…

Yuushi: said what? Would you stopstammering and hurry up? It's hot here.

Gakuto: NOTHING! I'm going back to the court!

Yuushi: What?

A/N: Hai! Iam currently having hols, therefore ican write more and update more! Thanks again for reading and reviewing! Love ya all!

Ochibi: Ur story is very funny and nice

Kikumaru: hey, who are you??? You are a fake! Echizen-chan is the real Ochibi

Ryoma: Kikumaru-senpai, she can have it.

Kikumaru: Then what am I supposed to call you?

Ryoma: …………… my name?

Shade25: Ano... I think you mean sequins, not sequence.

Yay! It was good! Can't wait for the next one! You're so evil, not telling us what they're doing!

A/N: Oh yea!!! Thanks a looooooooot for correcting me!!!! Muaaack! I was feeling kind of weird but couldn't bother to check the dictionary… yes, lazy and ignorant person I am –cry- Oooops, hope I didn't forget to change the spelling for this chapter…

Lol you should realize by now that all authors are evil hahahahahaha

CHAPTER 10—Backstage

"Okay, put it over there! Right, and there's another barrel." Inui instructs Horio, Kachirou and Katsuo to help with the drinks barrel.

"This is so heavy! (Fuh) I wonder what is inside…" Horio said while rolling the barrels to the backstage.

"Inui-senpai is very careful with them. I'm sure it's something important." Katsuo says.

"YES. Important alright. If I see anyone breaking it… they will not live for long… do you understand?" Inui uses his threatening voice.

"Ha…Hai!!!" the freshmen answered quickly.

Meanwhile…

"Where is Echizen!?" Oishi asked impatiently.

"Oh no, my hair clip falls out-nya!!! Momo, help me put it back—ouch! Momo, don't mess up my hair!!!"

"Sorry, Kikumaru-senpai. I can't clip this on… it's so difficult… there!"

"Momo, it's crooked!!!"

"HA? Erm… then, um… use this clip…"

"Where's Echizen? Taka-san, did you see him?" Oishi walks around impatiently.

"Ne… I thought I saw him walking along the corridor few minutes ago."

"Corridor? Which corridor? What is he doing? Where is he going?"

"Oishi, cool down. I don't know where he's going but he'll be back… don't worry."

"But—"

"Fsssh. Oishi-senpai, Fuji-senpai needs help with his dress."

"Yea, Kaidoh. In a minute." Oishi said.

"Eiji, you better hurry up and get your hair done then change your clothes." Oishi hurries him.

"Hai"

"Fuji, what's wrong?" Oishi goes into the changing room.

"The zip… I can't pull it up. Can you help me with it?"

"Okay… … there. It's done."

"Thank you. Ei? Echizen is still not back yet?"

"Yea… I am worried that he might run away."

"Haha. I don't think so."

Actually Ryoma did think of that but seeing Inui reminds him of the 'punishment' for losers… he went to the vending machine to get a Ponta while cools himself down… while enjoying his drink, he saw Shinji in a crown and dress walking past him and enters the toilet. Then he saw Akazawa comes out from the men's toilet. Ryoma spills out his Ponta, mumbling "What was that!?" and hurried back to the changing room.

"Echizen!!! Where have you been!? Hurry up and change!" Oishi is so relieved to see him. One more hour to go…

"Whiz…"

The hall is full of people. Even though it's still an hour away from the contest, people begin to pour in the hall. The judges' table and chairs are arranged neatly at the side.

"I think it's time now…" Inui said and left.

Back in Seigaku's changing room…

"Aaaaaaargh!!! I don't want to wear this!"

"Echizen, don't be stubborn! Just put it on!!!" Oishi said.

"No! I can wear the dress but definitely not this!!!" he held out the white bra that Fuji gave him.

"Echizen, both me and Eiji wears them too. Don't worry, it won't be uncomfortable. You will get used to it soon."

"I am going home."

"Echizen!!!" Six pairs of hand pulled him back.

------------------------------------

"Gakuto! Are you done!? The changing room is not yours alone!"

"Why are you rushing, Shishido!? Not that you need to change!"

"Chotarou! He needs to use the changing room too!"

"Oh great, on your little lover's side already"

"YOU—"Shishido began…

"Alright, Gakuto. Hurry up and let Chotarou change if you are done. We don't have much time."

"Yeah yeah, I'm almost done Yuushi…"

"Jirou! Wake up, stop sleeping!!!"

"… … … hm? Oh…" Wakes up and help carry a few things… then back to sleeping.

"Hey, where's my wand!? I put it over here few minutes ago!!!" Gakuto shouted. He's out from the changing room and Chotarou went in.

"No, Mukahi-senpai, I don't see it…" Hiyoshi helped him to look for it.

"Did anyone see Gakuto's wand?" Yuushi asked around.

"AAARGHHHH!!! Jirou, you are sleeping on it!!!" Gakuto kicks Jirou away and took his wand.

"It's a little crooked… damn you Jirou!"

"Hm? Hm… sorry… zzz… zzz…"

"He never changes, does he?" Shishido sighed.

"Ano… Shishido-senpai…"

"Oh, Chotarou, any problem?"

"Can you please help me with the zip? I think it's stuck…"

"Okay!"

"Hey Shishido, don't mess up Chotarou's clothes in there! We put a lot of effort in it you know! And don't make him work too hard; we still need him on stage."

"GAKUTO, SHUT UP!!!" Shishido shouts. Both of them are blushing inside the room.

-------------------------------------------

CRASH

"No, this won't do! Kamio you have to walk straight!!!"

"I know Mori! But I can't control my footsteps! These heels are too high; I can't even walk in them!"

"If it's not suitable, then you shouldn't have borrowed it from Ann." Uchimura says.

"We don't have a choice. There's no budget for shoes!"

"Fine… whatever… Kamio you better hurry up and change." Ishida told him.

"Where's Shinji?" Kamio asks.

"He said he needs to go to the toilet before the contest starts. I think he's nervous." Mori laughs.

"Hah Shinji never shows it in his face though" Kamio enters the changing room.

"Ei? Where's my knife?"

"Ishida, don't tell me you lost it now…" Uchimura said angrily.

"No, it was here just now…"

"Maybe you left it in the changing room. I saw you bring it in with you" Mori said.

"Ah, ya! Changing room" and he rushed in.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE ISHIDA!!!?" Kamio's scream was heard.

"You don't need to scream like that Akira! I am not here to peep or molest you—since there's nothing to see anyway! I want to get my knife, that's all!"

"KNIFE!? WHERE!!!!?"

"Over there!!! That sharp thing that is going to poke your butt if you move an inch closer!"

"NOW YOU GOT IT! GET OUT!!!"

The Fudomine team who was listening from outside held their stomach… they laughed so hard that their insides are hurting them.

-------------------------------------------

"Akutsu, put this on." Kentarou hand it to him.

"WHAT IS THIS!? I am Akutsu Jin!!! I don't wear wigs!"

"Akutsu, don't be stubborn now. Your hairstyle is not suitable for the character. It's just temporary… I'll leave it here. Make sure you put this on."

"Who are you trying to command!?"

"Akutsu, remember what we said before we submit your name? You have to dress up the way we prepare for you. That's all. They are not commands but a promise, isn't it?" Masami look at him.

"Hn!" Akutsu walked away.

"Akutsu-senpai!"

"Dan, forget it. He'll come back after a while. Come on Nitobe, are you finished with the sequins?"

"Just a minute Muromachi. You can't wait to dress up, can you?"

"What! No, we don't have much time! It's less than an hour from the contest and we can't lose… I saw it…"

"Saw what?" Ichimura asks.

"Ugh barrels loaded to the backstage… a few freshmen from Seigaku help to carry them…"

"Barrel? What is inside there?" Ichimura asks again.

"Idiot! Those are the Kirozu and Kurozu made by Inui as punishment for losing teams!"

There were screams from the Yamabuki team.

"Ba… barrel!? What is he thinking!!!?" Masami shouts.

"I… I … I don't want to know…" Muromachi covers both his ears with his hands.

---------------------------------------------

"Yuuta! Are you done? Your wig is here!" Nomura said.

"Why do we have to wear wig?" Yuuta sulks.

"Don't complain. Even I have to wear it…"

"That's different. Atsushi-senpai you look good with the wig on."

"Lo—look good?"

"He's right Atsushi dane. You do look pretty in dress and wig dane. Suits you very well. Hahaha! I can go on a date with you dane."

"Yanagizawa. Even if you are the last man on earth still alive, I wouldn't even consider going out on a date with you."

"Atsushi, that was mean dane!!!"

"Hmph! Who asked you to mess with me today."

"Atsushi, why are you getting so fired up?" Akazawa appeared from behind. He just came back from the loo with his costume.

"I never want to dress as a girl; I do it all for our dorm and this idiot makes fun of me!"

"Atsushi, this is your basket with flowers…" Kaneda gave it to him.

Atsushi holds them and turn around. All members of Rudolph look at him, enchanted. Yanagizawa was love struck.

"Atsushiiiiiiiiii!" Yanagizawa runs to him but Atsushi gave him a hard kick.

"Stay away from me, Yanagizawa!"

"Itai dane… Atsushi you… brat…" and he clutched his stomach.

The Rudolph team fills the room with laughter.

A/N: Life in Rudolph is so much better without Mizuki isn't it? Hahahahaha! Anyway, please look forward to the next chapter when the pageant officially starts! Ja!!!
