After Christmas break, Mr. Kaplan announced that try outs for the swim team would be at the school's indoor pool at the end of the week. Kimberly had already made her mind up that she was going to try, when it was announced before Christmas. She enjoyed swimming and was hoping to make the team, since she couldn't do gymnastics anymore. Tommy was trying out since there would be boys and girls on the team. If he made the team, he'd be able to team up with Kimberly. The coach made it clear that everyone had to have a partner because he didn't want them to practice alone.
At practice a lot of people showed up. Even Rocky, Adam, Tanya, Willie, Bulk and Skull even tried out. At the end of tryouts, the list of people who made the team were posted. The only ones who didn't make the team was Bulk and Skull because they were goofing off during practice. A few days after practice, the team members got their uniforms. The boys got a pair purple and gold speedo briefs; the girls got a gold and purple two piece suit, which was a race back bikini top and a pair of bikini hipster bottoms. All of the team members got a purple and gold waterproof tracksuit. The jackets had the Angel Grove High logo on them. Plus all of the team members were given a white tee shirt with Angel Grove High logo on it. Since practice was right after school, all the team members had to wear their swim team uniform to school on the days they had practice. They could wear any type of swim suit to practice in that they wanted.
One the first day of practice, all of the team members had to pick their swimming buddy. Whoever they chose would be the person they practiced with and the person who the sat by on the bus. Tommy and Kimberly paired up. There was one thing that they didn't expect, Kat had transferred back to Angel Grove. She was on the team and Willie was her partner. That wasn't the only problem. The best two swimmers on the team had to compete in the advanced part of the competition. Willie and Kat were just as good as Tommy and Kimberly. Tommy knew that would be trouble since Kat and Willie would always be trying to compete with them.
Almost every week, they had a swim competition and spend most weekends out of town. Willie wanted to be a big shot and wanted to be noticed at their first home game. He decided that would be when he'd pull a prank on Tommy and Kimberly. The match would be on Friday. Plus that was home coming week, so that whole week was school spirit week. Practice was held everyday after school and it was for several hours. Since they were at school for several hours, Mr. Kaplan allowed the swim team to camp out in the school gym every night. Everyone on the team had to bring a weeks supply of clothes and hygiene items.
On the first day of spirit week, they had a safari theme. Willie had sent Tommy a private message saying they had ordered safari costumes for all the team members to wear. They were instructed to wear the costumes over their swimsuits, so they could change quickly after Tommy and Kimberly believed went to the chorus locker room to pick up their costumes. Tommy had a leopard print toga and Kimberly had a leopard print jungle mini skirt and a leopard print halter top. They went into the gym locker rooms and changed their clothes. Both of them put their pants, shirts, and shoes with their weeks supply of clothes.
"Kim, the note said that we were suppose to go to wait for the rest of the team down in the basement. The notes says to go through the door next to the chorus locker room."
They went down the stairs and walked into the basement. It was a huge basement and it had several storage rooms. Both of them waited for a long time, but no one else came. The bell rang for first period.
"Tommy, no one else is here! We'll be late for class."
They walked back up the stairs and tried to open the door. It was locked from the out side. Both of them tried to open the door, but had no luck. Mr. Kaplan came on the intercom to give the morning announcements.
"Good morning everyone," stated Mr. Kaplan. "Today's the first day of spirit week. I said in the school spirit week letter that today was safari day. I thought that I made it clear to everyone that they had to wear shoes, wear a shirt, pants, skirt, or dress. It stated that togas, mini skirts, halter tops, lion clothes, and low cut dresses weren't allowed."
"Someone has pulled a trick on us!" gasped Kimberly.
"I've been informed that one of the boys is wearing a jungle toga and part of his chest is showing," Mr. Kaplan said angrily. "And I've been informed that one of the girls is wearing a low cut skirt and a low cut halter top. The two outfits are leopard print material. Neither one of these students are wearing shoes. I will be looking for those two students. Those two students had better hope I don't find them. Teachers, if you see these two students let me know who they are. If those two students are caught they are suspended for the week and banned from all school events this week."
"Tommy, now what are we going to do? We're locked down in the basement and everyone knows how we're dressed. We can't afford to be seen."
"I guess we'll try to get out of here."
"Mr. Kaplan and the teachers are looking for us. If we're caught, we will be suspended. My parents will have a fit and we won't be able to compete in the swim match on Friday."
"Tommy, we'll have to get to the locker room."
"If we make it, do you have anything you can quickly put on."
"I have a pair of pink athletic pants, a pair of jeans pants, a pink velour track suit, and a red tracksuit, tee shirts, a tan camp shirt, a pair of jeans, two bikinis and two one piece suits and my pajamas. We're suppose to wear our swim team tracksuit on Friday. What do you have?"
"A pair of red athletic pants, a pair of khakis, a red tracksuit, a pair of jeans, flannel shirts, tee shirts, Henley's, two pairs of swimming trunks, two pairs of board shorts and my pajamas."
"We could teleport to the locker rooms get dressed and go to class. First lets get ride of these jungle outfits. We've both got swimsuits on underneath."
Both of them teleported to the locker rooms. Luckily, no one was in either one of the locker rooms. Kimberly quickly put on a pair of pink athletic pants and a white Nike tee shirt. Tommy quickly put on a pair red athletic pants and a white Adidas tee shirt. After they got dressed they headed to class. Tommy noticed that there was someone in a black robes and a Halloween mask. The person grabbed Kimberly and drug her into the janitors closet.
Tommy quickly followed them to the janitors close. When Tommy went in, the person tackled him and knocked him down. The person was sitting on him. They grabbed Tommy's hands and handcuffed them behind his back. He noticed that Kimberly's hand were behind her back and they were handcuffed. Tommy was trying to kick the person, which they knew he'd try. They brought a pair of leg cuff and they put the leg cuffs around Tommy's ankles. Kimberly also had leg cuffs on.
"Who are you?!" demanded Tommy.
"It's Willie," answered Willie.
"Willie, why are you pulling all of these pranks on us for?" asked Tommy.
Willie didn't answer. He looked around the janitors closet for some cloth or tape. Tommy was yelling at him and he didn't want to get caught being in the janitors closet with them. He found a roll of sliver duct tape and cut off a piece. Then we walked over to Tommy.
"Tommy, this is for your own good," warned Willie.
"What do you mean this is for my own good?" asked Tommy.
Willie kneeled on the ground and put the piece of duct tape over Tommy's mouth.
"MMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" cried Tommy. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!"
"Tommy, I can't afford to have you yelling at me," explained Willie. "If I get caught, I'll be suspended all week and won't be able to compete in swim match Friday."
"MMMMMMMMMPH!cried Tommy.
"He's a part of the team too," stated Kimberly.
"I have to compete with him," answered Willie. "I have compete with him to be the best male swimmer on the team. And I have compete with him over you. Kimberly, I want to be your boy friend."
"You've got Kat," declared Kimberly.
"Yes, I do," replied Willie. "But, she's going back and forth to Florida. She's only back until the Pan Global Games start in the spring. I want a girl that's around full time."
"Willie, I hate to tell you this, but I'm taken," warned Kimberly. "I'm with Tommy."
"I know he's your boy friend," answered Willie.
"Actually, we're engaged," smiled Kimberly. "It happened over Christmas break."
Willie looked shocked, when he learned that Kimberly was taken. He didn't expect to get that answer. Willie walked over to the roll of tape. He cut of a strip of tape and walked over to Kimberly.
"Willie, what are you doing?" asked Kimberly.
"You'll rat me out," answered Willie.
"If we're found in here, I promise not to say it was you," promised Kimberly. "We'll just say some one in a black robe and a Halloween mask did this to us."
"Promise you won't say anything else?" asked Willie.
"I promise," promised Kimberly. "Tommy, won't say anything either."
Mr. Kaplan came on the intercom with an announcement.
"May I have everyone's attention?" asked Mr. Kaplan. "I've been informed that two students dressed in the toga and mini skirt and halter top were never spotted. I've been informed there was a student wearing a Halloween mask and black robe. Two of our swim team students came to school, but never reported to class. I suspect the person in the Halloween mask and black robe may have hid them some where. We'll be search every storage room, all the janitors closets, the foot ball field, and outside for these two students. They are Tommy Oliver and Kimberly Hart."
"Did you say anything?" asked Willie.
"I've been with Tommy the whole time," answered Kimberly. "We never told anyone."
Willie quickly placed the piece over tape over Kimberly's mouth.
"MMMPH!" cried Kimberly.
"Sorry," apologized Willie. "I couldn't leave piece of tape laying around."
He sat Tommy up and dragged Kimberly over to him. Willie sat her up next to Tommy with their backs facing each other. He wrapped a few pieces of tape around Tommy and Kimberly. Then he took a few pieces of tape and taped their legs down to the floor. Tommy and Kimberly were stuck together like glue.
"MMMMMMMPH!" cried Tommy.
"MMMMMMMPH!" cried Kimberly.
"I'm leaving school before I get caught," stated Willie.
" MMMMMMMPH! MMMMMMPH!" cried Tommy and Kimberly. "MMMMMMMMPH! MMMMMMMMPH!"
Willie shut the door behind him.
"MMMMMMPH! MMMMMMMPH! MMMMMMPH!" cried Tommy and Kimberly. "MMMMMMPH! MMMMMMPH! MMMMMMPH!"
No one came to the door. Both of the sat in the janitors closet. They realized they would be there until someone found them.
