Episode 14
Ai's POV
"The Cardfight Club will participate in the school festival too?" Aichi asked.
"All clubs in this school are required to take part in the festival," the president of the student council calmly answered while pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Good. We're a brand-new club, so I thought maybe we wouldn't be able to…"
"I'm looking forward to it."
"How about we open a Cardfight dojo?" I suggested.
"Let's also do a card exhibit!" Aichi added, "Anyway, let's get started!"
"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you," the president interrupted. Oh, this won't be good. "Suwabe…"
"Right," the vice-president answered. So that's what his name is… "You didn't submit an entry beforehand, so right now the only opening is the stage."
"I'm really looking forward to it," the president smirked, "I wonder what kind of performance you'll put on." Oh, how I would love to bury him alive right now…
"P-Performance?!" Aichi shouted.
"He's telling us to put on a play?!" Misaki asked.
"Yeah, since the stage in the gym is the only place we can use…" Aichi started.
"He knows how ridiculous that is."
"I say we do it!" Naoki huffed, "Right, Aichi? Let's show 'em the strong will of the Cardfight club!"
"I hate to say this when you're so fired up, but preparing a play is no simple thing," Korin sighed.
"Korin," Aichi muttered.
"First we'd need a script and staging, then we'd have to prepare costumes and a set. How do we do that with just eight people?"
"Eight people… Come to think of it, where's Shingo?"
"Ladies and gentle men!" Shingo shouted as he entered the room. He was interrupted by a bunch of club representatives that barged in.
"Ai, Yukino, Lauren! Can you participate in the swimming tournament?!" a girl asked.
"No way! They're gunna be with the karate club!" a boy argued.
"No! The tennis club!" another girl shouted.
"Hey, can you play soccer with my club?" Fuyuki asked.
"What about the kendo club?' another boy interrupted.
"Hey! Hold on a sec! We have our own club ya know! Let go of us!" I shouted as Yukino, Lauran, and I were dragged out of the room. I really hope the club can manage without us because there is absolutely no way we can get out of this. TT~TT
Aichi's POV
The room was silent for a few seconds.
"Well it's really no surprise," Shingo broke the silence.
"What?" Naoki asked.
"Miss Ai, Miss Yukino, and Miss Lauran are very athletic (Me: Unlike me… *Cries in a corner* lol) and the fact that they're idols adds to that. It's obvious all the sports clubs would want them to participate in their activates."
"Ohhhhhhhhh…" we all let the info sink into our minds.
"Never mind. Make that five people…" Korin corrected herself.
"Back to the subject!" Shingo dumped a bunch of books onto the counter we were sitting at.
"W-What the heck is all this?" Naoki asked.
"Scripts?!" Korin awed.
"Scripts I've written over the past several years (Me: Like me! I wrote a play based off of the current songs from the Night ∞ Series of Vocaloid!) that are set in the world of Vanguard!" Shingo explained.
"Wow…" I gasped, "Can we use them?"
"My debut as a scriptwriter has come sooner then I expected."
"Aichi! Leave the costume making to us!" Emi entered with Mai and Sakura in tail.
"We're good at sewing!" Mai reasoned.
"And you guys would have less to worry about," Sakura explained.
"Emi! Mai! Sakura!" I smiled.
"But of course! That's my Komoi Corps!" Shingo beamed. I looked over at Sakura and she looked a little annoyed at his statement.
"All right! It looks like we can actually do this thing!" Naoki encouraged.
"Yep!" I agreed, "Well, everybody, let's all do our best to make the festival a success!"
"Yeah!" everyone cheered.
-Time Skip brought to you by the awesome Prussia-
(Me: You happy now? Wooju: Prussia! v u v )
Ai's POV
I was running around the school with Yukino and Lauren trying to get all the club activates in. We were on our way to our last one when we ran into Miwa, Kamui, and Kai.
"Hey guys!" I greeted while we jogged in place.
"What's up?" Miwa asked.
"Well, we have to get to the pool before the competition starts," Yukino answered while looking at her watch.
"Why would you be doing that?" Kamui asked.
"You would too if you were swarmed by a mob of people," Lauren pouted.
"We gotta go or we'll be late!" I shouted, "See ya later!"
"There's been a change in the program," the girl on the speakers announced, "The Cardfight Club's performance is going to begin shortly, at 1:00."
"I really hope their ready," Lauren sighed with concern.
"Me too," I agreed.
"They'll be fine," Yukino assured us.
-Mini-Time Skip-
"Done!" I shouted as we walked out of the locker room in our performance clothes. You can't really blame us. It's better than walking around in sweaty sweat pants and a loose t-shirt after what we've been through today. (NOTHING IS BETTER THAN WALKING AROUND IN SWEAT PANTS AND A LOOSE SHIRT)
"Hey guys!" we turned around and saw Wako.
"Hey Wako!" Lauren greeted.
"What are you doing here?" Yukino asked.
"Well I hear the Cardfight Club was putting on a play so I came to see!" Wako smiled.
"We were just on our way there! Let's go!" I shouted. When we got there, they seemed to be having lost of problems. The stage was a complete mess.
"Guys I think we need to help," I whispered as they all nodded before we went backstage and fiddled a bit with the sound system and ran on stage with microphones.
"Hey everyone!" we greeted.
"There's gonna be a short intermission to keep you guys is suspense!" Lauren smiled.
"So, we hope you enjoy our performance!" Wako and I cheered.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Yukino asked. I glanced over at Aichi who was giving us a thankful look.
(Me: Btw, I love this song. It's so touching!)
Lauren: They always laugh at you but you never try to fight back, and although you tried your best you could never guess it would all be swept away by the rain
Yukino: And when that new umbrella was torn away in the wind, I knew by a print or two that umbrella had gone to something like a stray trapped in the rain.
Wako: It's just another day when they hate you being alive. With no reason to be kept at a distance from them when every time you tried your hardest
Ai: "What did I do to make them all want to leave me behind?" And when you don't understand you end up wanting to be alone.
Lauren: Why not add up all the words you were just trying to scream out? Ai: "Yeah I know, I'm all alone why do I never have the strength to save my only friend? You always had believed in me, and every tear I'm crying out now, I cry them all for you" All: Create a song and change the world, and now this time, I hope that you try and see the beauty in this life! Ah, the loneliness and happiness I know they'll never hurt you again as everything is one! And then you hear the voices of that "Odds and Ends" sound, ringing out my message that will change your life now! Let me hear it now, the power of your voice, and I will never leave you again!
Ai: Put 'em to a bunch of notes and let me sing them
Wako: "How could such a bunch of noise be fit for human ears?" But you wouldn't give up!
Yukino: Surely getting better everyday that goes by. In an instant you can make me sing for just you and I.
All: So keep your words And let me sing for them world to hear. Create a song and let me sing. And all those times you wanted cry and scream they always passed you by. And make a stand believe in me. I'll never let them hurt you again for saying what you feel. And then you hear the voices of that "Odds and Ends" sound. Ringing out a message they can never keep down. Let me hear it loud, the power of your voice
Ai: And now they praise you for being yourself so don't give in. To many who tried their best, you could never guess they would look to you for where to go next.
Wako: But then one day, you changed into something that you're not, and since they don't understand, you end up wanting to be alone.
Lauren: Why not give up all the phrases you were trying to make up? We don't need another lie to put to music.
Yukino: How could such a bunch of noise be fit for human ears? And I know that you hate me, but a whispering is starting without a sound "What a fake. This guy is never gonna stand his own ground!"
All: And you would cry, but why insist on crying all alone? Hey can you hear? I'm calling you! And all those times you wanted to run and hide I'll take them far away!And know for now, you're not alone. A heart so big it crumbles slowly with every passing day. And then you hear the voices of that "Odds and Ends" sound. Ringing out a message they all try to keep down! Let me hear it loud, the power of your voice
Yukino: All the words have gone and in a second there's nothing left to say, there is no way to keep this going.
Wako: "Where am I? Is this a dream? It's fading out now"
Lauren: To meet again would now be an impossible dream and yet if we were ever to see the end I'd never want us to let this go. And even now I know it's just a dream…
Yukino: And after all the songs were played and done, Odds & Ends would keep a smile. No matter what, and in your gut, somehow knew this was the end.
Lauren: You cry and shout the words held so tight and had wished with all your might.
Wako: "It's all a lie, you just can't die!" But a hush came down on them…
We all bowed and ran off stage.
"Looks like we bought enough time for Korin to get ready," Wako whispered.
"Are you okay, Amaterasu?" Korin asked.
"Thank you for your patience!" Shingo shouted, "The hero, King of Knights, Alfred, is here!"
"I had faith you would come!" Misaki smiled continuing the script.
"We've reached the climax at last! Alfred's battle is going to begin!"
"The dragon you're supposed to fight can't come on anymore," Misaki whispered, "What should we do?"
"The true enemy that I'm going to fight," Korin pointed to somewhere in the back with her sword, "is over there!" The spotlight shown on Daigo!
"D-D-D-D-D-D-Daigo!" Shingo stuttered, "The genuine legendary fighter, Daigo, is here!"
"You're welcome," Wako smirked.
"Daigo?!" Aichi shouted.
"This is gonna be awesome!" Lauran and I squealed.
Wooju: PRUSSIA!
Me: At least let me comment first, geeze.
Wooju: You just did, so, PRUSSIA.
Me and Tara: *sigh*
