Risty: Told you I could fit Chapter 25!
Hiei: Hurry it up onna.
Risty: Here ya go!
Are we having fun yet? - Carol Burnett
Last Time:
"Yes!" Risty jumped up off the sofa. "I love this game!"
"I get to be Ris's partner!" Rogue jumped up and stood next to the other blue-eyed girl.
"All right. Everyone get into teams of two. Let's play!" Maddie sat on the floor and began setting up the game."
This Time:
Chapter 25: It's All Fun and Games Until...
Maddie handed out a notepad to each team. The teams were Risty and Rogue, Brianna and Li-Li, Jin and Ryu, Touya and Hagiri (Touya: But I know nothing about him!), Kurama and Tien, Yusuke and Kuwabara, Hiei and Dante (Dante: I can probably relate better to you than most of the others. Hiei: Hn. Whatever.), and Chu and Maddie were in charge of the questions.
"All right." Maddie pulled out the first question card. "The questions will be about your partner. He or she will write the answer on the notepad and you will try and figure out what they wrote. After five questions we will switch who is answering." Chu unfolded the game board. "Each correct answer moves you up a space, the team who is farthest along at the end of three rounds wins. Everybody ready?"
"Yeah, let's go. I can't believe I got stuck with Kuwabara."
"Come on Urameshi, this is the only way we're getting any questions right."
"We'll start with the easy questions. One: What is your partner's favorite color?"
The people wrote on the notepads and the others either thought really hard or sat and calmly waited.
"Alright, everyone's finished so let's hear the answers." Chu got ready to move all of the pieces.
Most of the answers were blue except for Dante who said Hiei's favorite color was black, Kurama who knew Tien's favorite color was orange, and Rogue who said:
"Her favorite color actually depends on her mood, so she probably said aquamarine turquoise."
"Nice." Risty turned over her notepad to reveal the words 'aquamarine turquoise'.
"Everyone moves forward one space. Next question."
Chu pulled a card off the pile. "What is your partners favorite breakfast?" Everyone took care of their answers and crossed their fingers. "Time's up. Let's start with Sheila."
Risty turned and smiled innocently at her partner.
"Well duh. Ris's favorite breakfast is Spagettio's. Especially the alphabet ones with the little cut up hot dogs." Risty turned over her pad to reveal 'Spagettio's'.
"Kurama?"
"Tien doesn't eat breakfast." Tien turned over his card that said 'None'.
"Hold on." Maddie turned and debated with Chu for a minute. "We'll count that as correct. Dante?"
He glanced nervously at Hiei. "How should I know? I've never seen him eat breakfast."
"I don't eat breakfast. Unless the baka onna makes me."
"You're down a point. Brianna, what is your partner's favorite breakfast?"
"Cheerio's with two spoonfuls of sugar."
"Nice."
"Next is Touya."
"This is easy. The only things he eats before noon are eggs." Hagiri turned over his card that said 'eggs'.
"Correct. Jin?"
"Well, I think he's a cereal person in the mornin's."
"What? I'm lactose intolerant!"
"Well, you have that lactose free milk in your fridge."
"Ris drinks that with her Spagettio's! Don't ask me why but she does!"
"Hey!" Brianna yelled. "Don't blame it all on Ris. I'm the one that drinks all of your chocolate milk."
"What! You drank my lactose free chocolate milk!"
"Chill bro. We each drank half of the carton, and gave Risty the other one to drink with her pickles."
"Why do you do that anyway?" Kurama asked.
"Drink chocolate milk with my pickles? I suck the extra juice out of the pickle and it leaves that sour taste in your mouth, so I started drinking chocolate milk to get rid of the sour taste."
"That's just sick." Kuwabara turned to Maddie. "Is it our turn yet?"
"Huh? Oh! Well, Jin and Ryu don't move and now it's Kuwabara and Yusuke's turn."
"Easy. Urameshi doesn't get up early enough to eat breakfast. He just goes right into lunch."
"Wrong. I drink coffee for breakfast moron."
"Does that count?"
"Sorry guys, no moving this time. Next question..." And so the rest of the round went.
At the end of the round Risty and Rogue were tied in first with Kurama and Tien. Then, came Yusuke and Kuwabara tied with Brianna and Li-Li. They were followed by Dante and Hiei with Touya and Hagiri in last.
"The next round will also consist of five questions, but the partners answering the questions will switch. The questions will also be harder in this round. Everybody ready? The first question in round two is: Who in this room would your partner say is most likely to get lost walking to the store?"
The people writing wrote quickly while their partners glanced around the room.
"Answers."
The majority of the answers were 'Kuwabara'. Tien was brave and figured out that Kurama said Risty was most likely to get lost walking to the store.
"What do mean I'm most likely to get lost?"
"You don't pay attention! You actually walked right past the house on your way home from school once because you were looking at a squirrel!"
"Oh yeah I did."
"Why are you so perky!"
"Calm down Kurama. Rogue would say Maddie."
"Why me?"
"Well," Rogue put her notepad down as a big smile spread across her face. "I figured you would probably go wandering off after some cute boy. Or just stand in one spot and stare at him until you forgot where you were."
"Yeah well," She glanced around the room. "Shut up! Next question. What would your partner like better after a hard day? A good meal, a good book, or a good nap?"
Other questions in this round included, 'Would your partner say they need meditation, mediation, or medication?' (Yusuke: You definitely need medication), 'In your partner's opinion what is the best movie of all time?' and 'Who is your partner more afraid of? Arnold Swartzanegar (sp?), Madonna, or their mother?'.
"Rogue is definitely more afraid of Madonna. I mean with that freaky bra thing I think Arnold is even afraid of her."
The final round ended with the same basic positions as the last two rounds except Brianna and Li-Li managed to pull into the first place tie with Risty and Rogue and Kurama and Tien.
"We will now go into a tie breaker match. If a team gets a question wrong they lose. You may choose who will be answering the questions. Ready? First question. What is your partner's favorite song?"
"Damn it. Kurama doesn't listen to a lot of music."
"What are you talking about?" Brianna looked up from her writing.
"Yeah," Risty added. "He listens to us all the time."
"I know what his favorite song is." Rogue mocked in a singsong voice.
"You have ten seconds left. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Time is up. Tien, what is Kurama's favorite song?"
"I don't have a clue."
"Enter Sandman, Metallica."
"Metallica? Since when do you listen to Metallica?"
"Since the girls started playing a whole lot more of it."
"Your team is out. Brianna and Li-Li?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure Bri's favorite song is Chain of Fools?"
"Man Li. I was counting on you!"
"Then what is it?"
"Bitch. That Alanis Morissette song Ris always makes us listen too."
"I thought you hated that song?"
"Well, if Ris knew I liked it she'd never play it!"
"Well, Rogue if you can answer this question correctly you and Risty will win the game."
"Break out the confetti. Ris's favorite song is Numb by Linkin Park."
"Not exactly."
"What!"
"Well, that's just the one I tell everybody." They all stared at her. "Don't worry," She flipped her pad. "That's what I wrote down."
"Good. Now let's play I Never." Ryu grabbed the left over sodas.
"No!" Everyone yelled.
"I'm going to bed before you find another stupid way to embarrass me." Risty got up and walked out of the room.
"She does have a point." Kurama said." We always seem to turn that game into a personal attack on one another. I'm going to bed."
So the girls went to their room and everyone fell asleep.
The next morning.
"Coming." Touya had been sleeping by the door and was awoken by someone knocking on it.
"Morning." Risty walked in the door with a bag on top of her head and walked right into the bathroom. Touya just laid down and fell back to sleep.
Fifteen minutes later most of the guys were awake.
"Who's in the bathroom?" Chu walked away towards the door. "And why's the music so loud?"
A minute later the music stopped and Risty came walking out of the bathroom dressed, with wet hair and a bag thrown over her shoulder.
"Man, nothing like a shower to wake you up in the morning." She stretched and walked towards the door.
"Hold on a minute Sheila, why'd you 'ave to go an' use our shower?"
"Hm? Oh, the girls take too long in the bathroom and you guys were still asleep when I came over anyways." She then walked out the door and down the hall.
In the girls' room.
"Why is this stupid thing beeping?" Brianna was kneeling on the floor shaking Risty's cell phone.
"Hey, easy with my stuff. I probably just have a message." Risty pushed a few buttons and put it on speakerphone. Sadie's voice started speaking.
"Risty! Damn why don't you carry your phone? I found the machine. Not just that. I found the only person who currently knows how to use it. There's a problem. You were right. A demon had tried to open portals for all of his friends. They've found out about the machine. They plan on kidnapping the person who can use it. She's in Ningenkai. You need to get back here fast. We have to get to this person first or else who knows what could happen. Hurry, you need to find her."
"Her? Did she say her?" Rogue asked.
"I don't know. But we have to go get the guys. Li-Li, get dressed and go pull the bus around. We're gonna need to break a few rules, but it's absolutely necessary."
"On it Ris." Li-Li turned and ran back into her room.
"You get ready to go. I'm already packed so I'll tell the guys to get ready. Hurry."
Risty: Aw, sweet suspense. Don't you just love it?
Yusuke: No!
Kuwabara: What's happening?
Yusuke: Why didn't we win?
Kurama: Why did you say my favorite song was by Metallica?
Risty: Go away! I'm trying to talk to these nice people. /smiles and talks in 'an annoying children's book on tape narrator voice'/ Hello everyone. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Yusuke: No! Make it stop! Make the torment stop!
Risty/in same voice/ I told you the machine would have something to do with the plot did I not? And the girl, you cannot forget the girl. She is going to be very important.
Hiei/watching Yusuke writhe in pain/ Hn. Continue.
Risty/same voice/ Especially in a certain relationship. I am sorry. I am trying not to give too many spoilers. From now on I will just put a warning before a spoiler. I already have one on my profile.
Yusuke: Make it stop!
Kuwabara: I think he's gonna die.
Risty/same voice/ Please submit a review to this chapter of the story so that I will know what you think about the chapter and I will be able to continue to write chapter that you as a reader will enjoy.
NarratorDude/wanders into room/ Hey! What are you doing you stupid spirit!
Risty/same voice/ What do you mean 'stupid spirit'? It is not nice to call people stupid and I am not a spirit. I am Risty the author of this wonderful story.
NarratorDude: No, you're the spirit of a preschool teacher who possessed Risty while she was locked in her room playing videogames in the dark.
Botan: Possession is a horrible crime! I'll have to report you to Lord Koenma.
Risty/same voice, slightly eviler/ Never you blue-haired ferry girl! I will not surrender this body!
Botan: Oh yes you will.
Risty/in annoying narrator voice/ Oh all right. I was not having a lot of fun anyway. The people in this place are rather strange.
Botan/leading spirit away/ Let's go.
Risty: Hi peoples! I hope you liked the chapter. Please review.
Yusuke/hugs me/ Thank goodness you're back! That woman was killing me.
Risty: I'm glad you missed me Yusuke.
A/N: I apologize to anyone who thinks my commentary is long and annoying. I sort of use it for all of my mini-stories. I would write a story and have each chapter be a mini-story but I don't really have that kind of time so thank you for putting up with me. Peace in the Middle East with hair grease for the obese! (don't ask)
