All-Star Academy Chapter Ten
Preparing to Party!
Raiden was at the bulletin board checking out the news, but one particular post caught his eye. Drake, Cole, and Dante caught up behind him.
"Yo, Raiden!" Dante called.
"Hey, how's it going?" Cole asked.
"Fine, I guess. Hey, check this out. We're getting some new faces—a lot of 'em." Raiden said, pointing at the board.
The post read:

Headmaster Polygon-Man
"Wow, that's a pretty big list," Drake said.
"The more the merrier, I guess," Cole replied.
The bell was ringing; it was the fifteen minute warning to get to class. The four waved and rushed to their classes. Drake and Cole were in Japanese class writing a typical Japanese letter. Apparently, Japanese (along with French and Latin/Spanish) were mandatory classes to take at the academy. To Drake, this was like his self-teachings all over again, but Cole was like a natural at speaking Japanese. He says it was because of Toro tutoring him that he got from a low D to a high B in the class. During class, Drake got a letter from the Japanese teacher.
"huh…?" He said.
"What's that?" Cole asked.
"I don't know…"
"Detention, maybe?"
"Uggg… Hell no." Drake moaned as he opened the letter.
It was the Honors Society/Advance Placement Report. Drake was informed that because of his high-standing grades and outstanding work, he was accepted into the Honors Society and had a score of 4/5 on the placement test, the passing requirements for Honors students.
"Nice, Nate," Cole patted Drake's back, "You're in the big leagues now. Good luck."
"Yeah, thanks," Drake remarked.
After school Drake, Cole, Sackboy, and the others were in the dressing room, choosing a costume. Sackboy kept looking through the hangers, only to make nasty faces at the small-sized costumes then throwing them everywhere. When Sackboy threw a pair of jeans at Drake's face, Drake had to say something.
"Hey Sackboy, do you really have to be so picky? I mean it's just a costume party."
Sackboy looked at Drake then a light bulb appeared above his head—literally. He chose the Skeleton Boy costume from his popit with a wedding tuxedo but changed the bowtie to a neon blue color that could glow in the dark. Drake's left eye twitched as he stared at Sackboy.
"Sackboy likes to be the life of the party. Without him, the party's dead. Just dead," Cole said, looking through the tuxedos.
Ratchet was searching through the sea of costumes.
"Hey, Ratchet," Sly called, "How do I look?" He twirled around in a blue tuxedo… without any pants.
"Uhhh… Sly," Ratchet liked the tuxedo, he just felt uncomfortable with the 'no pants'.
"Uggg! Sly! Put on some pants!" Jak exclaimed.
"Hey, guys!" Kat said.
Jak, Sly, and Ratchet froze. Kat was wearing a black strapless, pink-laced dress with a white bolero on. She was wearing black flats with pink ribbons, long black gloves and a black ribbon headband with a cat head symbol in the middle on her head, along with fake black cat ears and a cat tail with a bell attached to it. The jewelry was a mix of pink, blue, and white and though not visible she was wearing a white laced garter belt on her left leg. They were stunned by her appearance. Sly was a bit wide eyed while Jak and Daxter had a nosebleed until they passed out. Ratchet had an internal nosebleed (the redness in his cheeks gave it away) and Clank only stared.
"Wow Kat," Sly said.
"Do you like it?" Kat twirled.
"You look good—I mean awesome—I mean pretty… you look very pretty, Kat." Ratchet stammered.
"Thank you, Ratchet," Kat held her face and blushed.
"Heh, yeah," Ratchet rubbed the back of his head.
ParRappa was wearing his typical prom dress with a red cape, "It looks cool and funky fresh for these old drabs!" he exclaimed.
Spike wanted to see Emmett's costume. Since Emmett's arrival to the academy, the kids (specifically PaRappa and Spike) saw Emmett as a source of reasoning and he believed in "Tough Love". He was dubbed the title "Papa Emmett" by the other adults.
"C'mon Emmett!" Spike exclaimed, "I wanna see your costume!"
"Yeah man. Come on out!" PaRappa added.
"Okay, Okay," Emmett said.
He was wearing a white tuxedo with a black bowtie and a blue fedora. The tuxedo was practically inverted.
"Wow, Emmett! That really does fit you!" Spike said.
"Thanks Spike," Emmett replied. He always thought of Spike and PaRappa like they were his own.
Fat Princess was waiting for Evil Cole to complement her dress. He had a crush on him, but unfortunately he didn't feel the same; everyone at the academy knew it. He wasn't impressed as usual.
Nariko was wearing a crimson dress with her hair let down. She didn't like that everyone was staring. It was actually quite rare to see her in a dress, so the guys have to work with her uniform. Some were amazed, aroused, or both. She was apparently staring at Raiden, who wore complete black all over.
Dante howled like a wolf, "Whoa-wee! Riko's looking hot today, ain't she Raiden?"
'Riko' was her nickname made by PaRappa. Raiden sighed then punched Dante in the back of the head.
Polygon-Man and Sir Dan entered the room. Polygon was smiling knowing that his students were having a good time and being creative. Dan found a tuxedo perfect for him and started dancing.
"OK, everyone!" Polygon said, "Now, you know that the party's tomorrow so I just wanted all of you to have as much fun as possible but at the same time don't have too much fun, alright?"
PaRappa was about to say something vulgar to him, but Emmett stopped him.
"Douchebag…" PaRappa murmured.
This was it. Tomorrow night, the night of their lives, a night to share with those close to you, a night to savor, a night to remember. Drake smiled to himself.
