The Anime/Manga Revolution
Chapter 10

Relief. It is possibly the best feeling in the word. The knowledge that something has worked out just as you planned. Nothing is sweeter than that. Since I was back in the swing of things with anime things had really turned for the better. We were getting more and more fulltime members and Alice and I were learning the ropes so that when Andrew was gone we would be able to help Martin. The comic club is also doing well as more members are joining. We even had to work out a schedule for meetings since we had some members who were in both clubs. However, Andrew has cautioned us to keep our eyes open. After all, the dean wasn't happy with our clubs success and student council was bound to put a stopper on us sooner or later. So far they haven't but I have a feeling things are going to change. The Alphas are still on the prowl but more importantly I spotted Sean hanging around room 444.

A noise caused me to look up from my notebook and I noticed two men standing under my tree. Unsure if they were friendly or not, I kept silent and prayed that they wouldn't look up. Of course I had to be stuck up a tree with a skirt on when two boys were standing underneath. Then I realized both boys had brown hair.

"This had better be important," the first boy said.

The other nodded. "You'll be able to go back to your meeting soon enough. I'm just curious. You let Mona win didn't you?"

What little of me wasn't frozen from fear of being noticed froze then as I realized that Andrew and Sean were underneath me.

I couldn't see their expressions but I was willing to bet money Sean was frowning. Of course he was always frowning so that wasn't surprising. "What would give you that idea?"

"Just a hunch. You always were a big softie."

"Is that all or is there more you want to talk about?"

Andrew shook his head. "Actually there is one other thing I wanted to know, student council is trying to close us down, aren't they? Any idea how they will try it?"

"They won't."

"Is that a nice way of telling me you can't tell me?"

Sean shook his head. "They won't bother with the clubs. There'll be too much bad press."

"So then you won't need to stay on the council and act as a shield."

"I already explained it to Mona and I hope you are smart enough to figure out why. I'm not rejoining the club besides if the council gets out of line I'll be able to throw a little weight around."

Andrew chuckled. "Somehow I figured you would say that. Although it would be nice if you had explained to Martin and Mona your true reasons for leaving. Martin keeps thinking that the council is holding something over your head."

"As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, it's not my problem."

"Yes. Challenging you in front of the whole school because he doesn't know what's going on truly would be stupid, wouldn't it?"

Sean became rigid and Andrew laughed. "Relax. Mona's adjusted and with no lasting damage."

"It was only a day. If she had any damage then she really needs to lay off the anime."

Andrew chuckled again. "I suppose you are right but it wouldn't hurt for you to drop by and just check in every so often."

"I'm busy, Andrew."

Andrew nodded. "Alright. I guess I'll just need to find some place to place that special video so that nothing happens to it. Any ideas?"

Sean paused and then said, "I'm going to kill you one day."

Andrew must have been grinning because he replied, "Of course, Sanzu."

Sean shook his head and walked off towards the school. Andrew left soon after and I was left in the tree, completely confused as usual. With a small smile I turned back to my notebook and made a new entry.

Life. A rollercoaster of conflict and emotions. The ups and downs of events. The act of being. Life. It can be boring, amusing, scary, and confusing. But if life didn't have little twists and turns it wouldn't be half as amusing. However, next meeting I am totally going to ask Andrew what else is being hidden from Martin and me since we weren't told about Sean being a double agent for our favour. I'm probably not going to get an answer but it will at least give me something to do until I figure out how to get Sean to rejoin the club officially without using the video. After all, I vowed to get him to rejoin and I have two years to do it. So watch out, Sean. Togsuki!

*A*M*R*

"Amelia, we're here."

I frowned as I looked up at the tower glass structure that was the main building of Hearth University. "What would happen if I didn't get out of the car when we stop?"

My dad, who was driving, glared at me through the rear view mirror. "Nothing because that won't be happening."

The car pulled to the stop at the front gates, and my dad unlocked the doors. My mother meanwhile looked up at the school with wide eyes. "They changed the buildings! They can't do that! The stone pillars were the only way to hide from the Alphas!"

I couldn't help but laugh. That was my mom. Completely stuck in the past. Sometimes I wondered how she had married my dad when they seemed like polar opposites. He focused on the future. She lived in the past. He was a lawyer. She was an author. He liked blue. She liked red. He was blunt and hard. She was blunt and soft. Opposites… sorta.

As I got out of the car, she passed me my briefcase through the window of the car. "We'll drop by later to make sure you're not rooming with a psycho," she said and I nodded.

The car pulled away from the curve and I waved until it disappeared into traffic. I was alone and it was time to take a step into my new life. Alone. Taking a deep breath I walked towards the gates.

Only a few steps into the property a group of upperclassmen were standing. One had what must have been heavily gelled black hair and was wearing a green jumpsuit. Another was wearing a red spandex suit with a yellow lightning bolt on it. The last was wearing an orange gi over a blue t-shirt with black hair that reached for the sky.

I held my briefcase against my chest as I started to walk towards them. I would have walked right by the boys if I hadn't been told by the my registration officer that a student would help me settle in since my own mother and father had abandoned me to adapt to Hearth on my own. The description I had been given didn't match any of the boys standing there but they might know where I could find the student since he obviously had forgotten.

"Excuse me," I said in my best 'I'm a poor helpless girl, please help me' voice. "Could one of you help me? My name is Amelia. I'm new here."

The boys paused in their discussion to stare at me. A second passed and the boy in orange smiled. I liked him already, I decided.

"Sure," he said. "I'm Gohan and this is Yusuke and the Flash." He pointed to the green and red boy respectively.

The man in red spandex (Flash) put his arm on my shoulder. "Fastest man alive at your service, pretty lady."

I nodded and smiled. "Someone by the name of Luke Capitani was supposed to show me around and show me my dorm room."

The one in green (Yusuke) made a very amusing "Eep!" noise that left me with no doubts that he was Luke. Without even looking at me he said, "Say Gohan. You know this school better than anyone. How about you show this chick around while I go… to Demon World and save the world again?"

Gohan frowned. "But Yusu—"

He patted Gohan on the shoulder. "Thanks. Bye!" Before any of us could blink he had started running for the main building.

Flash spotted my amused grin and winked before saying, "I'm sure Luke will show up. Until then," he started running after Yusuke, "have fun with Gohan!"

Both boys paused on the steps of the building to see if Gohan would actually show me around. After staring at them for a few seconds, he sighed and turned to me. "Welcome to Hearth University, where the best are trained to be better at everything including self-expression." He crossed his eyes at the end of his speech.

It sounded so rehearsed that I couldn't help but laugh. Thankfully Gohan was laughing too. "Thanks," I replied. "I think I'll like it here."

With a super sweet smile Gohan offered his arm to me and I took it. At once he started to explain about Hearth. He told me which rooms to avoid and how the clubs worked. Apparently things had changed since my parents went to Hearth. The anime club had spread so that it had split into good guys and bad guys who regularly battled on the sport fields with water balloons. An American cartoon club had also started up and split into three groups. Superheroes, super-villains, and non-super cartoons. Like the anime club, the supers battled and sometimes even joined the sides of the animes. That would explain Flash, Yusuke, and Gohan talking, I thought.

As we walked by the front steps, I heard Flash ask, "So do you think she's an anime or a super?"

I saw Yusuke grin out of the corner of my eye. "She's obviously an anime. Look how Gohan actually agreed to lead her around. She's no Videl but he doesn't care."

"But look at that muscle. She's totally a super."

"What muscle? All I see is chicken legs."

Gohan tossed a glare over his shoulder showing that he had heard his friends. "Sorry about them they're a little…"

I grinned. "It's okay. I've read the manga."

He smiled back and as we continued on the tour I knew that I was going to love it at Hearth University and I was, without a doubt, an anime. After all, like mother, like daughter. Togsuki!

A/N: And so it's over. Hope you enjoyed the story. I liked it a lot and am surprisingly happy with how this turned out considering how it was created by a dream. Thanks for reading and now I have to return to my KuramaXOC series.

See ya!
