Code and Ryo walk onto a stage, pick up scripts and sit in their chairs. They begin to read the scripts.
Ryo:As you all know, with school and work, it gets difficult to find free time in the day.
Code:Yes, and because of this chapters don't always make it out on time.
Ryo:Seeing ahead in all
his wisdom...The hell is this?
Ryo reads over the script
Ryo:Screw that, kissing up to himself, does this author have no shame?sweatdrop
Code:Eh...whatever let's just introduce the situation.
Ryo:Okay, it's like this the author wasn't able to finish his chapter and in an attempt to satisfy the readers wrote this.
Code:More or less. That being said, shall we began? This segment involves the first time our first four characters met eachother. The first story is title 'Suichi's Meeting'.
It was the first day of middle school. Ryo, a new sixth grader, stepped off the bus and looked at the large school. No more little kid Ryo anymore. He whistled as he walked to the cafeteria to get breakfast before school started. He liked the school uniform in middle school better than his elementary school. Instead of dress clothes the uniform was a blue shirt and blue jeans, more comfortable than last year.
"Hey, who's your homeroom teacher?"Ryo overheard someone say as he sat down with his cereal.
"I have room 24, building three,"someone answered.
"Ah, I heard that teacher was mean,"the first kid replied.
Ryo took the last bite of his cereal. These small plastic bowls aren't enough for someone who's now in middle school he thought to himself, full of pride.
He pulled out his own schedule, which had been sent in the mail over summer. He threw out his trash and walked outside, reading his schedule. His homeroom was in building four, room 18. After reaching the middle of the courtyard, he looked around and minus the cafeteria and gym, there were five buildings.
Which one is building four? he thought to himself. He walked over to one building and looked at the sign. On it was '4-12'.
"I suppose this is building four then,"Ryo said aloud, looking at his schedule.
He walked along the path and came up to a sign with '4-18'. He looked inside and saw a few kids sitting down already. He walked over to an empty side on the side of the room. On the board the teacher's name was written down.
"Mr. Smith,"Ryo read aloud,"That's such a bland name."
"And what's yours?"someone asked in a deep voice.
Ryo went wide-eyed and let out a squeek.
"Ryo Kuinichi,"Ryo replied nervously.
"Ryo... Crewineaje?"the man replied, looking at Ryo strangly
"Hey I didn't butcher your name. Don't butcher mine!"Ryo responded at the man who he figured was Mr. Smith.
"Fine then, what's my name?"
"It's Mr.Smith,"Ryo replied.
"No...that's the teacher's name...I'm the principal, boy."
Ryo went wide-eyed. The door opened and a scrawny looking man in a brown suit walked in.
"Ah, oh, sir, what are you doing here?"he asked.
"Ah, Smith, just walking around seeing all the new sixth graders,"the principal replied.
"Any of them look like troublemakers?"Mr.Smith replied jokingly.
"This kid looks like he could be one,"the principal replied looking down at Ryo.
"I'm not a trouble maker!"Ryo argued back.
"Is that so?"the principal asked him.
"I'm not,"Ryo repeated.
The principal let out a chuckle and walked away, saying something to the teacher.
"You stood up to the principal, wow,"one of the kids said walking over, two others were with him.
"Yeah, he's just some old man,"Ryo replied with a show-off grin.
"Are you sure you should be saying that about the principal?"a girl asked him.
"What? Nothings gonna happen, I'm just saying the truth,"Ryo replied.
Ah, I'm already becoming popular and school hasn't even started yet! Ryo thought to himself.
"What's your name?"one of the kids asked.
"Ryo Kuinichi,"Ryo replied, proudly.
"Coon...ecchi?"one of the kids replied slowly.
"Ecchi is perverted stuff!"the girl replied.
Ryo blushed.
"Its Kuinichi. Coo-een-eech-ee!"Ryo replied.
"You're loud..."someone replied.
Everyone looked over at a kid who was resting his head in his arms on the desk.
"Who are you?"Ryo asked, insulted.
"I'm trying to sleep. Shut up,"he replied.
Ryo stuck his tounge out and turned towards the front of the class.
"Thanks,"the kid said, returning to his sleep.
"You aren't welcome,"Ryo muttered.
After all the initial papers from the school had been handed out and attendance had been taken the teacher had them do a self-introduction, After they reached the M's, the kid who was previously sleeping went.
"My name is Suichi Mohi,"he replied yawning, his eyes half shut. My favorite color is...I don't care. My favorite food is probably sandwiches. My hobby is drawing."
He paused to yawn once again before continuing.
"Things I like are, my pets, easy-going days, and games. My dislikes are things that get in the way of my likes and the kid who wouldn't shut up this morning."
"I dislike you too!"Ryo replied.
Suichi looked over at him then continued.
"Something about me...would probably be my hair. I don't have to cut it, but it doesn't grow,"he finished, his haircut similar to his older self's version.
"Any questions for Suichi?"Mr.Smith asked, as he had with everyone else.
No one had any questions. The game finished and Mr.Smith let everyone do as they pleased until the bell rang. Everyone went off to their first class; Ryo after some trouble managed to find his. He walked in after the bell, but since it was the first day the teacher didn't care. As in most classes that day they did another 'bonding' activity, this one was with a partner though. The teacher had everyone write their name on a piece of paper so she could pick partners at random. She finally announced Ryo's name after some groups had been paired off.
"And Ryo's partner will be,"she said pulling out another piece of paper,"Suichi Mohi."
"Him!?"Ryo complained.
"Do you know him? I guess you're lucky then,"the teacher replied before moving on.
Suichi walked over and placed his seat on the opposite side of Ryo's desk. They silently stared at eachother.
"Let's just get this done,"Suichi said, finally giving in.
The project was a chart where you had to various facts about a person. As reluctant as he was, Ryo cooperated and worked on the project. After his first class he went to the next one which was in the gym so it was easier to find. He sat down on the stands by the teacher and waited for the bell to start class.
After it finished ringing the teacher handed them a piece of paper explaining various things for their parents, and then went straight to the 'funnest' thing about how she ran class. Her 'funnest' thing was how she had everyone in pairs to do everything. And through bitter irony Suichi was once again in his class and was also his partner for the rest of the year in gym. Since nothing was really planned for the first day the teach let the kids play games.
"You know...irony sucks,"Ryo said to Suichi.
"We agree on one thing,"Suichi replied, pulling out a notebook and pencil.
"For future reference what are your next two class for today?"Ryo asked him, curious as to how many class they had together.
"Spanish, 1-12 and Math, 3-14,"he answered.
"Okay so it's just these two classes for today,"Ryo replied, sighing,"And tomorrow?"
"You ask a lot of questions,"Suichi said bluntly.
A sweatdrop fell down Ryo's head.
"That doesn't answer my question you know,"Ryo responded.
Suichi pulled the paper out of his notebook and crumpled it up.
"It wasn't meant to,"Suichi replied, starting another doodle.
"You're too easy-going, you know,"Ryo said.
"And you're too hyper,"Suichi countered.
"Iunno, but if we have to be partners for everything then I guess we better try to get along,"Ryo said.
"You sound pretty mature for your age, you know,"Suichi commented.
Ryo grinned.
"I get that a lot,"he replied, chuckling.
Suichi paused on his drawing.
"I take that back...you're about normal for your age,"he said before continueing.
Ryo:Ah the good ol' days. Back when I was getting breakfast made for me.
Code:At least there's been some change in your maturity in the last four years, even if it isn't that much.
Ryo:Did you just say something?
Code:Nope. So Ryo do you want to introduce the next story. When you met your lover?
Ryo:Shut the hell up, Code.
Code chuckles
Ryo:Right, so the this story is called 'Sakura's Meeting'...Wait that's the same title as before almost. God this author is lazy.
"Ugh, I hate math homework, why is there so much of it?"Ryo pouted as he ate lunch on a table in the courtyard.
"I really don't get math homework that often,"Suichi replied, eating his sandwich.
"And the end of the semester is coming up,"Ryo groaned.
"Yeah, middle school exams are probably worse than elementary ones."
"We had semester exams in elementary school?"Ryo asked.
"You're joking, right?"
"I don't care to remember."
A sweatdrop fell down Suichi's head.
"Eh, by the way, Ryo, do you know any blonde haired girls?"Suichi asked.
Ryo looked at him puzzled at the random question.
"I can't say I do..."Ryo answered,"Why?"
"Hmm there's a girl two tables over who's been staring at you this whole time,"Suichi answered.
Ryo went to look behind him, but Suichi grabbed his shirt and sighed.
"You don't look back there, don't you know the rules?"
"What rules...and what are the rules for?"Ryo asked.
"Come on Ryo, it's common sense if a girl stares at you she likes you, if you look back then she'll turn away,"Suichi answered.
"It is?"Ryo responded with another question.
Suichi sighed again.
"It's a pain explaining things to you, you know."
"I don't see the big deal about her liking me or not,"Ryo pouted.
"Listen we're in middle school now, everyone knows guys are supposed to like girls now."
"Says who?"Ryo asked, looking at Suichi.
"Says people, like my big brother."
"You have a brother?,"Ryo asked.
"Yeah, he's 17 now, but that's not the point. The point is you can get a girlfriend."
"I want one?"Ryo asked.
Suichi couldn't think of a response this time.
"Well...I suppose it's your choice...but you're...supposed to...I think,"Suichi answered,"Well, my brother said after elementary school you grow up and girls are appealing."
"Appealing...like peeling an apple?"Ryo asked.
Suichi sighed.
"You're hopeless."
Ryo looked back at the girl, expecting her to turn away, but he didn't see anyone move out of the ordinary.
"Are you sure someone was staring at me?"Ryo asked.
"I thought there was,"Suichi responded.
After school Ryo met up with Suichi again.
"I'm finally getting used to moving between classes, but it still feels wierd,"Ryo said said, as he got on the bus with Suichi.
"Yeah, having a single desk you could put your books and stuff in was a lot easier than carrying it around,"Suichi replied, getting into the seat first.
"You could've gotten a locker, you know,"Ryo suggested, getting in second.
"Yeah, but I know some people in my classes in who keep getting late. Ryo, that girl is staring at you again,"Suichi said looking forward.
Ryo looked towards the front of the bus and someone duck down.
"I am a pretty popular guy, it's not surprising,"Ryo said, grinning.
"Right,"Suichi replied sarcasticly.
"I'm serious,"Ryo pouted.
"She's really getting annoying though,"Suichi commented.
"Hey, blonde hair girl!"Ryo stood up and shouted.
"Ryo, you idiot!"Suichi shouted, pulling him back down.
The blonde haired girl's head popped back up.
"Why don't you sit with us?"Ryo asked, waving.
Suichi sighed.
"Me?"the girl asked.
Ryo nodded and the girl walked back and sat next to Ryo.
"You're face is all red,"Ryo commented, as he moved over.
The girl smiled nervously and turned her face away.
"So, I'm Ryo, and this Suichi, what's your name?"Ryo asked.
"Sa--Sakura,"she replied quietly.
"Girrrrrlfriend,"Suichi whispered, but was ignored.
"When do you get off?"Ryo asked.
"The stop after yours,"she replied, still blushing.
"Hey...you're really red, are you sick or something?"Ryo asked.
There was a silence; Sakura, from nervousness and Suichi from shock at Ryo's stupidity.
"No Ryo, she isn't sick,"Suichi answered.
"You sure?"Ryo asked, putting his hand on her forehead.
She went wide-eyed once touched.
"She doesn't feel sick. I don't think she is,"Ryo said.
"R-...Ry-...Ryo?"Sakura said quietly.
"Yeah?"Ryo asked.
"I...I...-"she was cut-off as the bus stopped sending her and Ryo into the back of the seat in front of them.
"Whiplash,"Suichi said with a smirk.
"Are we at my stop already?"Ryo asked, standing up.
"Yep,"Suichi answered.
"Ah, I'll see you guys later,"Ryo replied, grabbing his backpack and running out of the bus.
Ryo:Sakura used to be shy? Since when?
Code:Well she probably stayed distant from you as a kid so you never became friends, and once she began 'growing' became more out-going, which made you back down.
Ryo:Wha?
Code:Nevermind...
Ryo:Anyways...We
have one more story for this segment of AIC Shorts, and I'm guessing
it's called, "Dylan's Meeting".
Code:It is.
Ryo:And I'm also guessing it's about when me and Suichi met Dylan.
Code:It is.
Ryo:I'm so smart.
Code:No you aren't.
"So you ready for the school fair, Suichi?"Ryo asked they walked off the bus.
Ryo still wasn't exactly sure what a school fair was, but he did know it meant there was going to be a half day and no classes. The homeroom teacher yesterday had told the students not bring any work to school.
"Yeah, you can finally meet my friend from my other classes,"Suichi answered.
"Friend? You mean the one that you said was 'not an idiot loudmouth' like someone you know?"Ryo replied, still oblvious to the fact that when Suichi said that he was referencing Ryo.
"Yeah, Dylan,"Suichi replied.
They reported to homeroom, the teacher took attendance and then the students were released to the fields in the back of the school.
"Hmm, so where is he?"Ryo asked, looking around at the students that were already out.
"He's probably over there,"Suichi replied pointing at a large gathering of girls.
"Dylan is a girl!?"Ryo asked in shock.
"No, he's probably in there though,"Suichi replied.
"So he's gay?"Ryo asked tilting his head to the side some.
"No, he'-...I don't think he's gay,"Suichi said, putting his hand on his chin.
He shook his head dismissing the thought.
"Let's go,"Suichi ordered, pulling Ryo into the crowd of girls.
They managed to make their way in and saw a kid, kind of on the short side, and skinny. Short, combed down hair, and bored eyes. It was as though he didn't even realize the girls chattering in a circle around him, he was so apathetic.
"Hey Suichi,"he replied lowly.
"Heyo, Dylan. This is Ryo. Ryo, this is Dylan,"Suichi said introducing the two.
"Hi,"Ryo said.
Dylan just stared at him and there was an ackward silence, minus the girls surrounding them.
"He's...quiet,"Suichi replied, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, I know, let's check out the stuff we can do,"Ryo suggested, smiling at Dylan.
Dylan just stared at him, with bored eyes. Suichi was watching with tension.
"Umm..."Ryo breathed.
He blinked a few times, while Dylan hadn't blinked once. This was needless to say, very ackward.
Suichi laughed nervously before saying, "Let's go somewhere else."
Suichi and Ryo forced their way out of the girls, then turned around waiting for Dylan. The girls scattered creating a path for Dylan to walk out of.
"That's not fair,"Ryo pouted.
They began to walk over towards a water slide, Suichi in front, but he stopped shortly afterwards. They continued to walk again, but stopped.
"What's wrong,"Ryo asked.
Suichi merely pointed behind him. Ryo looked and saw the girls still walking behind.
"Are those your girlfriends?"Ryo asked, with a sweatdrop.
Dylan stared at him.
"If you're supposed to have a girlfriend in the sixth grade, then he must be like a 26th grader,"Ryo muttered.
"That idea is so flawed,"Suichi retorded.
The began to walking again, the girls still following.
"Is he famous or something?"Ryo asked.
"No, why?"Suichi asked.
"Those girls keep following him like a bunch of fans or something..."
"Fan girls?"Suichi asked.
"Yeah, that'll work,"Ryo said.
Ryo sighed.
"I really can't stand them, can't you do something?"Ryo asked Dylan.
Dylan just looked at Ryo.
"Stop looking at me all the time!"Ryo shouted.
Dylan kept staring.
"Can't you at least talk to me,"Ryo muttered.
"You're different than the others,"Dylan mumbled.
"Huh?"Ryo asked.
"You don't look at me like other people,"Dylan said.
"Look at you?"Ryo asked.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you, Ryo?"Suichi asked.
"Tell me what?"
"I didn't?"Suichi asked.
"I guess not."
"Well, Dylan has this thing where he can notice small things about the way people act towards him, and he's kind of picky about who he talks to,"Suichi explained.
"That's stupid,"Ryo replied.
Suichi scratched the back of his head nervously.
Ryo:The origin of where I started using 'fan girls' and when I met Dylan.
Code:Well, to all the readers out there, I'm Code.
Ryo:And I'm Ryo.
Code:Thanks for joining us.
Ryo:Hopefully the author
has the next chapter ready next release date.
Ryo and Code
stand up and walk off the stage.
Not gonna say reviews and what not welcome, since this is basically a time filler, but if you want to leave a suggestion or tell me to manage my time better feel free to.
