Chapter 10
MAC ATTACK
AN: This chapter was just made for pure fun and entertainment for me! XD (kinda goin through a writers block, but I promise the flag race will be chapter 12)
3 days later. It was a week before the race. Kaori had been practicing vigorously, always striving to be as good as Mac.
Never better.
She was practicing once again that day, pushing herself to her limits. Kaori was practicing at her regular time, 5 am.
No one dared to bother her at that time. Usually, everyone was asleep. Mac himself didn't know about her little practices.
But one day, someone found out.
She was jumping the ramps, minding her own business, when a snowball hit her square in the back.
"Nice pink panda you have there."
Yes, there was a pink panda on the back of her black snow jacket.
Kaori turned around and saw who had hit her.
Psymon Stark was balancing his board on the rail staring at her.
Kaori let out a gasp and finally spoke, "Psymon,"
"Yeah. Kaori." He sighed, "So, you're the little booger that always practices here each and every morning, huh?"
Kaori nodded slowly.
"What're you practicing for?"
"The Flag event next week," Kaori started, "Mac and I are a team,"
Psymon laughed, "Yeah, course you are." He turned around and was about to take off when his conscience had gotten the best of him. "Hey.Kaori."
She looked back at him, now more nervous then ever. "Yes?"
Psymon smiled at her timid ways. "I just wanted to say.thanks for helping me out a while ago. If it hadn't been for you and Mac."
Kaori smiled. "I will tell Mac that you said thank you."
He let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah."
(Gotta love that kid's smile.)
He winked at her, "Oh, and keep this between you and me, okay? Or I'll see to it that you never snowboard again. No, wait, let me rephrase that. I'll see to it that you will be unable to snowboard again."
Kaori cringed at his sudden attitude but thought it was more normal for him to threaten her than to say thanks.
"Just as long as you keep my morning practices a secret. I do not want anyone bothering me. This is the only time the tracks are empty."
Psymon nodded and trailed off, leaving Kaori utterly confused.
"Kaori!" Brodi was running towards her as she had just finished her practicing. She was headed for the elevator with her gear slung over her back.
He smiled, "Nice jacket."
Kaori brightened up, "Oh thank you, Brodi-kun!"
"Rahzel just announced that there was going to be a party in the ballroom of the hotel tonight on the first floor,"
"Really?" Kaori bounced, "Just to dance and have fun?"
"Yes, I think so," Brodi said. "I just thought that you out to know,"
Kaori bowed, "Thank you, Brodi,"
Brodi grinned and bowed back. "Anytime, my friend,"
She waved to him as the elevator doors closed.
Kaori ran to Mac's room as quickly as possible without disturbing the others. She knocked on his door, barely able to contain her excitement. SSX boarders were rarely given a time to just be wild. Well, actually, yes they were. Plenty of times, but Kaori was amazed that it was going to be an organized "get wild" party. She smiled to herself.
Mac opened the door in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes and still trying to wake up. Kaori smiled and wrapped her arms around him, "Mackie!"
"Kaori!" He gasped as she landed on him and he fell on his back, Kaori on top of him. "What's up?" Mac tried to say casually.
Kaori kissed his nose, "Guess what?"
"What?"
"Party!!"
"Really? You're serious? An organized-"
"-'Get Wild Party'!" she finished for him, smiling.
"Oh cool, we haven't had one of those in ages,"
Kaori nodded. Mac ran his fingers through her hair. "We're going, right?"
Mac sat up, "What do you mean 'are we going'? Of course we're going!" He smirked, "I want to go with you,"
Kaori beamed. "I can't wait!"
Mac studied her up and down. "Um, you need help putting your stuff away? You've been practicing?"
She nodded, "I have been practicing for a while now so we will win, Ma-chan,"
Mac pulled her closer to him, sitting her on his lap. "You don't need to practice, Kaori. You're perfect to me,"
That evening was much anticipated. Eddie, Mac, Kaori, and even Brodi ran down the hallways with silly string, decorating everyone's door with "art" as Eddie liked to say.
Moby had opened the door and threw an in-line skate at them, saying something like "Bloody kids".
Marisol shrieked when they ran by her and made a silly string "bird nest" on her head. She screamed all sorts of things in Spanish as she tried to get the greenish yellowish reddish substance off her head.
They bombarded Zoe, who seemed to have the best attitude of all. As a matter of fact, she pulled out her own can of silly string and joined them. All of them attacked innocent passerbies.
Eddie and Mac had snuck up on Luther, much to Kaori's and Brodi's warnings.
Luther yelled, "God-damned little buggers! I'll show you, yer little son of a beeches!" he hurled himself at Eddie, who was a little to quick for his tastes. Luther took off running after them. Kaori screamed as he almost caught her hair. Zoe was in the lead with Brodi and Kaori. Mac and Eddie were behind them, much to Luther's joy. Mac repeatedly turned around while he was fleeing from Luther and sprayed more silly stuff into his face. Luther, now more outraged then ever, pushed himself towards them, his anger reaching its boiling point. Zoe and Kaori were far ahead of all of the guys. They had reached the elevators before them and were frantically hitting the down button.
Mac, Eddie, and finally Brodi poured into the elevator and saw Luther just as he roared "Dern little tree huggin' hippie!!" Brodi had melted in the corner of the elevator, muttering phrases such as "Buddha help us," and "I'm too old for this," Zoe looked out of the glass walls of the elevators and screamed.
"Omigod! Luther's still following us!"
As soon as the elevator opened up, they all bolted down the corridors. Zoe screamed, "TO THE POOL!" and they all followed her to the indoor pool they had. The outdoor pool was closed because it was winter, but the indoor pool remained open.
They all hid behind the fake plastic bushes and Luther banged the door open. No one was at the pool that night, it was too late.
Luther, panting and veins beginning to pop out of his neck, slowly crept around the pool, careful not to blow his cover.
Unfortunately for him, he was just a little bit 'overweight' so the silly string sprayers could see him a mile away, clumsily tripping and grunting as he searched for the 5 culprits who sprayed him down.
"Look at that sorry sight," Eddie muttered, "You can practically just imagine him whispering 'hear, piggy pig, pig, heeeeeeeere piggy pig, piggy!"
All of their snickering was causing the bushes to shake.
Luther's head jerked back over in their direction, and in a mad rage, he charged at them. All of the color in Eddie's face drained away just as Luther's chubby hand closed around his neck. "Hah! I gots all four of yer!"
Luther looked at each of them. Kaori, Zoe, Eddie, and Brodi were there, but-
"HERE COMES THE MAC ATTACK!" Mac bellowed as he charged into Luther, the too of them splashing into the pool.
Everyone cracked up laughing. Everyone but Luther. First, everyone was amazed the poor guy could swim, let alone attempt to strangle someone while doing the doggy paddle.
Mac squirmed free and swam for the nearest ladder and as soon as he saw Brodi, Eddie, Kaori and Zoe, he yelled "RUUUUUUN!"
They all sprinted out of the pool area, piling up in the elevator once again and heading for the 2nd floor.
Everyone collapsed against each other in laughter.
Kaori fell into Mac's wet, sopping arms. "Oh, Mackie, you were SOOO brave,"
Mac beamed, "Yeah, I was, wasn't I?"
Zoe giggled, "Yeah, especially the part where you charged him into the pool. The expression on Luther's face was priceless!"
Eddie sighed, "Yo, Macinator, my afro was a bit damaged there," Eddie patted his hair, "Is it alright?"
At this, Kaori laughed even more. Even Brodi couldn't suppress a smile. Brodi looked at Eddie and sighed. "This was possibly one of the most interesting days of my life,"
Kaori smiled, "Oh Brodi! You never get out do you?"
Everyone laughed as the elevator hit the 2nd floor. The doors opened and everyone gasped.
Psymon Stark was standing at the doorway, smoking a cigarette and giving Zoe the most intriguing look.
"Hello, Psymon,"
"Hello, Zo." Psymon said calmly, smiling at her.
Everyone shuffled out of the door way after that. Even Kaori and Mac made their way back to his hotel room.
Psymon stepped into the elevator while Zoe's feet remained planted on the floor.
"You going to the party tonight?"
"No. You know I have better things to do," Psymon muttered, staring out the walls and watching the people pass by.
"You always have better things to do."
"Yes. You're absolutely correct."
"When's the last time I saw you?"
"Three days ago when you hugged me while I was practicing." Psymon mumbled, trying to focus on anything but her body.
"Why is that?" Zoe boldly stepped forward. "And why can't you look me in the face anymore?"
Psymon's eyes met hers. They stared at each other for a moment, Psymon eventually moving his eyes the ground.
Psymon never answered her. The elevator door opened and he slipped out quickly without as much as a goodbye.
Zoe stared after him. "Psy."
The party that night wasn't as exciting to Zoe without Psymon.
