Chapter 63: Clique Anniversary!

TheBlueJetpack: You have a point


The next Friday...

It was in the middle of recess as in the cafeteria, "I activate Dimensional Fusion! I pay 2000 life points to special all my banished Machine type monsters!" Huey declared as he placed 5 cards on his duel disk and summoning took place.

1. Mechanialchaser (1850/800)
2. Launcher Spider (2200/2500)
3. Perfect Machine King (4700/1500) [This card gains 500 ATK from every face up machine type monster on the field except itself)
4. Barrel Dragon (2600/2200)
5. X-Head Cannon (1800/1500)

"You got to be kidding me!" His opponent who's a member of the duel club and a warthog nerd named Willie exclaimed. "I activate Barrel Dragon's effect! I toss 3 coins and if I get 2 heads, I destroy a monster on your side of the field!" Huey took our 3 coins and flipped them one by one. "Yes! 2 heads! Barrel Dragon, fire your cannons at Invader of Darkness (2900/2900)!" Huey ordered as Barrel Dragon fired 3 heavy calibre bullets that shot and destroyed the monster. "Field's wide open...good. All monsters direct attack!"

"No way!"

"BOOM!" The next thing it happened, Willie was on his knees as his life points dropped to zero. "Heh. I never lost my touch in duelling even though it's been a few years since I last duelled." Huey thought to himself as he walked to his brothers who were watching his duel. "About time you mopped the floor clean in duelling. Come on, I've gathered the entire clique to meet up in our turf. We still got 20 minutes of recess left." Louie spoke as they made their way there.

Several minutes later, they reached the lounge as Louie swiped the card for access. The door slid aside revealing all the members waiting for them. "Alright you called all of us here, what's the scoop?" Ingrid asked. "Alright, tomorrow is Saturday. 11 September. You wanna know why I brought up this date?" Louie first of all asked. All shook their heads. "Because tomorrow is our Clique Anniversary! I formed this clique last year and now, it's time to celebrate one year of the Besties Clique!" Louie revealed. All cheered in excitement as, "So what's the plan for tomorrow?" Angelo asked. "Are we gonna visit the graveyards?" Leticia asked. "Why not we do something rich?" Vickson suggested. "I say we beat the shit out of some random hippies!" Duncan declared as all stared at him with disbelief.

"None of the above." Louie replied as all stared at him. "Alright Einstein, if you're so smart, what do you have planned for this clique?" Cornelius asked. "Yeah! Better spill or else it's whack a Louie time!" Gosalyn stated. "All will be revealed tomorrow morning. We meet outside by the gates of McDuck Manor." Louie declared and ended the meeting leaving all of them confused as they left the lounge one by one.

The lounge right now is occupied by the triplets, Webby, Lena, Violet and Gosalyn. "If you got plans in store for us, it better benefit all the members." said Violet. "I'm aware of that. Now let's head back to class." said Louie as all left the lounge.

The next day...

Around 10am, the Bestie Clique gathered outside by the gates of McDuck Manor. "Are they running late or something?" Ricardo asked. "Wait, they're coming out now!" Luna noticed as the triplets and Webby came out. Now the entire clique is in their signature casual wear as the gates opened and they came out. "Alright guys, first thing to do as a clique is...

"This!" It now cuts to the clique outside a building named, "Lightspeed Lasers."

"Hey! That's where granny took me on my birthday!" Webby recognized as, "So we're gonna spend the morning doing laser tag?" Angelo asked. "Doesn't look fun to it."

"It's fun if you want to shoot someone." Duncan whispered to the skater who had second thoughts now as the clique entered the building. There inside, Louie took out his credit card and made payment. "Me and my bros got our own credit cards during our birthday." Louie thought as, "Alright guys, go get your laser guns, specialized glasses and the vests." Louie told the clique as they went to get the gear.

During that, "Yo, the 3 of us should be in one team eliminating the competition." Lena told Lana and Luna. "Sounds like fun." said Lana. "Good. We'll show our friends that we rock in laser tag just like a rock band!" said Luna as they suit up. At the same time, "Yo Russell, you and I, we shoot the shit out of our opponents. Okay?"

"Okay Duncan. Russell shoot with you." They fist bump as behind them, "Teamwork makes the dreamwork!" Dewey and Webby chanted and lightly hit their laser guns onto each other as Louie made an announcement. "We're assigned to Area 6. This is where we can have fun, practice teamwork and bond as a clique. Let's go." Louie lead the large group to the area as they reached a door and Louie opened it.

Inside, there's a large battle zone right in the centre and a small flight of stairs go down to it. Seats are around for rest and 2 vending machines for snacks and drinks. There are obstacles around the zone in the shape of cubes and cuboids and walls. Neon lights even light up the entire area. "This is where we can shoot first, ask questions laser?" Damien asked. "Good joke." Ennui commented as, "How do we get started on the laser tag greenie?" Lena asked. "First, 2 man team." Louie began.

A few minutes, teams are formed. Huey and Violet, Dewey and Webby, Louie and Lena, Gosalyn and Angelo, Russell and Duncan, Ricardo and Madoka, Casey and Kirby, Lana and Luna, Melvin and Jennifer, Damien and Shard, Leticia and Ennui, Park and Vickson and Cornelius and Ingrid.

All entered the zone and got ready, "Begin!" Louie called out as everyone started shooting each other. "Hell yeah! I got height advantage!" Duncan cheered for Russell had him sit on his shoulders as they opened fired rapidly. Lana and Luna took cover and Shard took aim and fired a shot. "BDEW!"

"BEEP! BEEP BEEP!" Melvin looked at his vest. "Impossible! I fall to the forces of darkness in seconds!?" He sulked and went to the seats as, "It's all up to me now." Jennifer thought as she fired her laser gun at Huey who was behind her and she didn't even look. "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

"No way! I got flanked?!" Huey was pissed as he went to join Melvin as Violet took cover as a crossfire is taking place between Casey, Kirby, Cornelius and Ingrid. "Wanna do the parkour manoeuvre Ingrid?"

"Whenever you're ready!" She replied as Cornelius got on one knee and Ingrid ran, stepped on his knee as to not put too much pressure and flipped herself. She used a cuboid obstacle land and flip herself again and the next thing it happened, "Crap! She's behind us!" Kirby exclaimed as she shot him. Cornelius then shot Casey and then, "BDEW!"

"Got him!" Dewey and Webby cheered together as Cornelius can see his vest beep. "Shit." He grumbled as nearby, Leticia and Ennui got shot by Duncan and with pinpoint precision, Madoka shot him followed by Russell. "Uh-Oh. Russell is out."

"Dang it." said Duncan as the shooting goes on until 5 teams remain. "And I'm the only one who's partner got eliminated first." Jennifer thought and she's behind cover. She then took aim and opened fired at Park and Vickson as they took cover. Gosalyn and Angelo are seen doing parkour over the cubes and strafing at the same time. "BDEW! BDEW! BDEW!"

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

"How did they do that?!" Park and Vickson exclaimed in unison for they got shot by them as Jennifer focused her fire on the prefects when, "BDEW!"

"It seems I miscalculated that no one's behind me." Jennifer exclaimed as Louie and Lena hi-5 each other while the prefects were taken out by Dewey and Webby. "Only 3 teams left." Casey exclaimed as he bought a drink from a vending machine. The battle is near it's end point as more laser fire is exchanged. "Webby! Take the high ground!" Dewey got his hands ready as Webby jumped on them and Dewey pushed her up. She landed on a tall, cuboid obstacle and shot Lena. "Gah! Webs took me out!"

"Fine babe. I'll deal with her!" Louie returned fire but Webby threw herself off and Dewey caught her. "Missed!" Louie thought when, "BDEW!"

"Gotcha!" Ingrid cheered as she and Cornelius fist bump each other as they engage Dewey and Webby. During the crossfire, Ingrid and Webby shot each other and, "No! Webby!"

"Focus Dewey because you're going down now by my hand!" Cornelius called out and, "BDEW!"

Game over and the prefects won. "I got a feeling they spent a lot of time hanging around here." said Lena as they rejoin the gang. "Oh yeah partner! All the practice we had here a lot was worth it!" Cornelius cheered as the gang took a short break.

For the next hour, 2 laser tag games and after that, "Alright. Last one and it's gonna be an all out war." Louie told the clique. "I don't get it chap." Damien spoke up. "One man army. The last person standing wins." Leticia explained. "Cool! I'm gonna win this!" Kirby cheered. "No way! I will!" Casey boasted. "No I will!" Melvin declared as the boys started to argue. "This, may take a while." said Lena as the girls took out their phones to check for messages.

A few minutes later, the last laser tag begins. Everyone went around shooting, doing hit n runs, taking cover, using high ground advantage and a bit of parkour from a few of the clique members like, "Vaulting through!" Angelo shouted as he vaulted over some cuboid obstacle and shot Kirby out. He then aim his laser gun at Leticia when, "BDEW!"

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

"Crude." Angelo exclaimed as Huey was behind him with his weapon pointed at him. Then, "BDEW!" He got shot as, "Yes! My first hit!" Melvin cheered as he dodged a laser and returned fire at Dewey who dodged and danced at the same time.

While this was going on, Park and Vickson shot each other and Russell knocked some of the obstacles aside and shot Louie. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Russell shot Louie!"

"And I shoot you!" From behind, Webby flanked the big guy. "BDEW!"

Meanwhile, Dewey ran and danced around shooting all over the place. A shot nearly hit Ennui and another zipped by in front of Lana. But regardless, lots of shooting all over the area as many took the shots. Time also passed and as of now, 6 players remain as Gosalyn shot Cornelius and Ingrid shot her from behind. Dewey then shot her out as he, Webby and Angelo faced each other on a shoot off resulting in...

"BDEW! BDEW!"

"I WIN! YEAH!" Webby cheered doing front and back flips as, "My girlfriend rocks!" Dewey cheered as he ran to her, lifted her up and spun her around. "Cute." Lena described as some attendant came and informed the clique that they've reached the time limit on their stay.

After the fun, "Lunch is near. Where do we go? I could use a bite." Duncan brought up as the clique returned the laser tag weapons and gear back. Then, "I heard there's a buffet restaurant called, "Wicked Spork." Park stated. "Expensive place to dine I bet." said Madoka. "Looks interesting." said Huey. "Yes! I heard you pay a fee, all you can eat anything!" Damien exclaimed. That was enough for Russell to suddenly leave Lightspeed Lasers as quick as lightning. "Does he even know where the place is?" Violet asked.

It now cuts to the clique standing outside the restaurant. "Never tried this place before. Alright, fiesta time!" Louie declared. All cheered and went inside.

There, a montage is being played on the gang having their lunch and bonding together. Dewey and Webby fed each other a piece of roast potato, Ingrid threw a meatball at Casey and he caught and ate it in his mouth as all cheered for him, Lena, Lana and Luna had a toast with their glasses of soda, Madoka and Jennifer are being sneaky stealing Kirby's fries and he never noticed until he find his plate empty as all laughed at him, Angelo drank 3 bowls of cream of tomato from his bowl and many more as the gang had fun together during lunch.

Some time later, the gang left the restaurant as, "Russell ate 10 plates of food and desserts." Russell stated as he cleaned his teeth and tusks with a toothpick. "I ate 7 plates of food only." Casey. "I ate 5 on the other hand." said Kirby. "Us guys eat big and heavy sometimes." said Dewey as he, Casey and Kirby fist bump together. "Alright! What's next for the afternoon?" Ricardo asked. "Now that you mentioned, I know a great place where we can have lots of fun in the zone." Louie stated with a smile.

Later...

"I don't believe it..." Angelo exclaimed as the clique is in front of Funso's Funzone. "Where the fun is in the zone!" The triplets cheered. "Oh! Russell loves Funzo! Russell go there and eat plenty of pizza!" Russell exclaimed excitedly. "Man, I used to believe the other preppies that this place is a dump." Vickson stated. "But now that I'm standing right in front of it, let's see how cool this place is."

"Yeah. First time's the charm." said Gosalyn as the clique entered the building. "Last time I was there, Dewey and I had some nice bonding." Webby recalled as all looked around. "Wow. It sure has changed even better!" Huey noticed as Louie gave some positive gestures to the waiters, Josie, Jane and Toby(Those names were revealed in the Daytrip of Doom episode) working there as they nodded at him and after that, he declared to the clique. "Have fun."

All cheered and ran off for some fun and games. Ricardo went to drink some soda by himself while Melvin went crazy as he started gaming on the arcade machines, Lena, Lana and Luna went to play Uke Or Puke with Dewey and Webby as they rocked together. Huey is seen at some racing game with Ennui watching him.

In the second level, Kirby and Park are gaming against Cornelius and Damien at the hockey table as they swiftly hit the puck. "Watch out!" Cornelius told Damien as they defend their goal while Kirby played aggressively and Park was just doing what he can do to back his friend up. Behind them, Jennifer is giving billiards a shot as Louie and Violet are with her. "So...I start with the cue ball and hit the balls."

"Yes Jennifer. Now give it a shot." Louie told as she took aim. "And...NOW!" She thought as she made her move. "THOK!"

"KSH!"

"ACK!" The girls gasped as Louie dropped his stick and got onto the ground feeling the pain. "It appears you overshot and as a result, you hit the wrong 'balls'." Violet explained and she started to giggle and then, laughter burst out of her while Jennifer remained embarrassed for a few seconds and laughed along.

Back on the first level, karaoke is in progress as Damien just picked a song and started singing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." while Gosalyn and Angelo cheered for him while outside, Vickson had a snack of soda and a slice of pizza and he's joined by Leticia and Shard. "Well what do you think of this place?" Leticia asked. "Mmmm...pizza's incredible! And I'm amazed that soda is unlimited refills when you pay a fee! This place is awesome!" Vickson replied with a smile as they can see Ricardo filling his cup. "I think he had 8 cups so far. Now he's filling it the 9th time." Shard deduced. "That's freaky. Who in the world can drink so much as him?" Leticia asked as she ate her slice.

Then, "Hey look what Duncan's doing!" Vickson exclaimed as the punk is seen helping himself to some ice cream by pulling the nozzle of the ice cream machine and letting the sweet treat go into his mouth! "Hey! You're not suppose to do that!" The pig waiter Toby caught him as Duncan laughed and ran off. A recovered Louie then approached him and paid him some cash to forget the incident and he accepted.

After that...

"That was fun!" Gosalyn cheered as the clique gathered together. "Indeed. Although Jennifer misfired at the billiards table which resulted in Louie experiencing testicular pain just now." Violet stated. Louie was stunned at this as all roared with laughter at him. After a few minutes of LOL, he did a headcount and, "Heh. Russell's missing." He noticed when suddenly, he resurfaced from the ball pit. "Russell sure had a long nap." He stated as all laughed as he got out of it. "You've been napping in the ball pit the whole time big guy?" Lena asked. "Russell always takes nap after lunch." He replied as Casey stretched himself. "Ah...much better. Now if you excuse me, I gotta help my dad run the family restaurant."

"Oh yeah. I promised my mother I'll be home for dinner." said Angelo. "The night will come and I need it to bask in the dark void." said Leticia. "Well guys. I'm glad we get to hang out together as a clique. I must say that this anniversary is a way to improve our bonds and friendships." Louie spoke to everyone. "And it rocks! I had a great time!" Luna cheered. "Laser tag was new and I find it enjoyable." said Madoka. "Agreed. Will we have this anniversary outing for next year and final year?" Cornelius asked. "Yes we will." Louie replied as all cheered. "Alright guys. See you back in school on Monday!" Ingrid called out as she left Funso's first. "I gotta meet the other Vamps for a horror movie. Thanks Louie for the fun!" Shard left next as the others too left to either go home or do something else.

And now, only the triplets and Webby remain as, "That was the best day I ever had!" Webby cheered as she hugged the triplets. "Gotta hand it to you Louie, this clique anniversary day was worth it." said Huey as he looked at the time via his watch. "And we need to be home for dinner."

"Let's race! Last one to the mansion is a roasted Peking Duck!" Dewey cheered as he got onto his bike first followed by Webby as, "Hey! No fair! We're suppose to start together-oh forget it!" Huey went to make his move as already, Dewey and Webby took off while Louie just on his bike and yeah, they did race home safely at least.

One year for the Bestie Clique running from Freshman Year till now. Let's hope it can remain strong and well-bonded. That's what friends are for also! And I think I need to do more research on laser tag. Oh well, back to the writing board for the next chapter! Woo-hoo!
