Adventures with the Little Selected Kids 4!!
"Come on, Izzy, we're going to the park!" said Mrs. Izumi as she picked up her three-year-old son. "And we're going to play on the playground! On that BIG slide that you like so much!" She carried him out to the car and buckled him in his car seat.
"Why?" Izzy asked plainly.
"To have FUN!!" Mrs. Izumi replied, sitting down in the front seat. She pulled out of the driveway and they started driving.
"Mom, you're going the wrong way." Said Izzy, looking out the window.
"We're going to a DIFFERENT park." Mrs. Izumi assured him.
"But…that's that tree that…" said Izzy, pointing to a tree that they had just passed.
"What tree?" Mrs. Izumi said obliviously. "I didn't see any tree!"
"And the…" Izzy continued, pointing.
"No, it's not the mailbox!" Mrs. Izumi assured Izzy.
"Mom?!" Izzy yelled. "We're going to Mr. Fujiyama's house aren't we?!?!"
"Of course not!" Mrs. Izumi said forcefully. "We're going to the playground!"
"You lied to me!" Izzy yelled. "You promised that we were going to the park and then you took me to Mr. Fujiyama's house! That was mean because you said we were going to the park but you really are taking me to Mr. Fujiyama's house!!" Izzy burst into tears. "I BET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE PARK IS!!"
MEANWHILE!!!
"Tai, get ready to go to Care-A-Lot," said Mr. Kamiya to Tai who was watching television.
"Aw, but Dad!" Tai whined. "I was gonna go and play soccer with my FRIENDS!!"
"I don't have time for this today, Tai!" said Mr. Kamiya as he turned off the television and grabbed Tai's hand.
"BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CARE-A-LOT!!" yelled Tai at the top of his lungs. Mr. Kamiya grabbed Tai like a football and carried him out into the car. "Aw," said Tai as he buckled his seatbelt. "Why do I have to go to stupid Care-A-Lot all the time anyway?"
"Because I said so," Mr. Kamiya replied.
"That's not a very good answer, Dad." Said Tai, crossing his arms.
"Here, Tai Man, play with Mutoid Man." Mr. Kamiya said, handing Tai an action figure.
"YAY!!" said Tai, picking up the action figure. "Here comes Mutoid Man!! But Mutoid Man is no match for Tai Man! TAKE THAT MUTOID MAN FOR YOU ARE EVIL AND I AM NOT!!! And I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America!!"
"Oh no, not Tai Man!!" said Tai in a different voice out of the corner of his mouth.
MEANWHILE!!!
"And you're going to be the BEST behaved one there!" Mrs. Ishida said as she zipped up Matt's coat. "You're just going to be a little angel, aren't you Matt?"
Matt groaned. "Yes Mom," he said, rolling his eyes.
"Good, I'm glad to hear it." She said, standing up. "And I'm warning you, if we get another bad report then we'll have to start punishing you more severely."
"How come TK never has to go to stupid Mr. Fujiyama's…?" asked Matt as they walked out to the car.
"TK's not old enough." Mrs. Ishida replied.
"I think that Mr. Fujiyama's is a bad enough punishment." Matt remarked as he sat down and buckled his seat belt.
"Remember, the BEST BEHAVED ONE THERE." Mrs. Ishida continued to drill into Matt's head. Matt groaned again and leaned back. "Come on, say it, Matt."
"Yes, I'm gonna be the BEST BEHAVED ONE THERE." Matt repeated. "I'm going to be an ANGEL."
"Good." Mrs. Ishida said with a smile.
MEANWHILE!!!
"SORA!!" called Wufei. (Not the real one, just Sora's Mom who happens to be named Wufei in our stories since she and the real Wufei look so similar.) "IT'S TIME TO GO TO DAYCARE!!"
"YAY!!" yelled Sora as she ran over to get her coat.
"Are you going to have another fun filled day?" asked Wufei.
"Of COURSE I am!" Sora said happily.
"And I don't even have to tell you to be good because I know that you are, right?" said Wufei, handing Sora her Dragon Ball Z lunch box. Sora nodded as they both went out to the car.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Mimi, we absolutely LOVE you!!" said Mimi's prodigious dad as he hugged Mimi tightly.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" said Mimi's mom who looked stupid. "It's time for Mimi to go to preschool!"
"You mean with Mr. Fujiyama?" asked Mimi. Her parents nodded but she groaned. "Okay, okay…" she said as she went out into the car.
MEANWHILE!!!
Mr. Fujiyama was looking over his checklist. "Tape," he said, picking up a cassette and a cassette player. "Check. Pacifier…check…extra snacks… check…dolls…check!" Then Mr. Fujiyama threw all this stuff into a big bag. "Great, I've got everything now! What time is it?" He looked at his watch and gasped. "I'M LATE!!!" Then he ran out the door as fast as he legs could carry him. He looked both ways and crossed the street and he was at Care-A-Lot Daycare Center. YAY!!
He threw everything down on his desk and sat down. Just then, he heard someone walk in. He looked up to see Matt and Mrs. Ishida standing there.
"Hi Mr. Fujiyama," said Matt with a sigh, looking down. "I'm going to be the best behaved one here today. I'm going to be an angel and you won't have to worry about me all day."
"I'm happy to hear that coming from you!" said Mr. Fujiyama.
"And…" Mrs. Ishida led Matt.
"And I'm SORRY for not respecting you…" Matt continued. "And from now on I'll give you the proper respect that you deserve."
"That's great, Matt!" said Mr. Fujiyama happily.
"I'm sorry he's been such a monster in the past," said Mrs. Ishida, shaking Mr. Fujiyama's hand. "You should have told me."
"No, it's all right!" Mr. Fujiyama assured her. "I should have told you!" Mrs. Ishida stared at Mr. Fujiyama for a minute, thinking (and actually being right) that Mr. Fujiyama was a complete and total idiot. So she shrugged, told Matt to be good AGAIN and then left.
Matt turned and watched the car drive out of the parking lot. Then he looked at Mr. Fujiyama. "Mr. Fujiyama, did you know that it's Opposite Day?" asked Matt. Mr. Fujiyama groaned and slapped his forehead. Just then, Sora and Wufei walked in.
Wufei and Mr. Fujiyama went over to talk like little knaves.
Sora was thinking: "Wow, I'm ALL alone with Matt and none of the other kids are here! Not even Tai! Maybe he wants to play with me."
Matt was thinking: "It's Opposite Day so I don't have to be good. Sora's looking mighty stupid today. Or maybe…Sora's looking mighty NOT stupid today…since it's Opposite Day. Wow, I'm really smart."
"So Matt, you wanna play with me?" asked Sora. "With the blocks?"
"I don't want to play with the blocks." Matt said. "And I don't want to play with you either."
Sora giggled to herself, being a knavish girl and thinking that he was playing hard to get. Just then, Mr. Kamiya and Tai came in. Mr. Kamiya quickly left in a very big hurry and then Wufei said bye to Sora and left too.
"And then Mutoid Man…" Tai started, still playing his little game while holding up Mutoid Man. But then he looked over to see Matt and Sora talking to each other and something inside of him just made him fume up. He was just about to stomp over and start yelling at them when Sora turned around and looked at Tai. He stopped and the rest of the world seemed to fade away except for Sora. A light shone behind her.
"Zombie Man." Matt said.
"What?" Tai said, snapping out of his fantasy only to see Matt since Sora had gone off to play with Mimi who had just arrived. "Where'd Sora go?"
"Who cares?" Matt said with a shrug.
"Yeah…who cares?" Tai said with a fake little laugh. Just then, Izzy and Mrs. Izumi came in. Izzy, for once, wasn't crying. He had on a little backpack with…the unknown inside of it.
Mr. Fujiyama was a little surprised at first because Izzy was very calm. So anyway, Mrs. Izumi and Mr. Fujiyama talked for a minute. "I had to bribe him to come here." She told him. Mrs. Izumi pointed to Izzy who had taken a little plastic laptop toy type thing out of the backpack and pressed the 'on' button.
"Mom, can you get the dancing game again?" he asked. Mrs. Izumi pressed one of the little buttons. Then this little dog came up and started dancing around like a little knave as Izzy pressed the various buttons on the keyboard that played music. Mrs. Izumi winked at Mr. Fujiyama and then left.
Mr. Fujiyama looked out the window to see the lots of snow that had just fallen while no one was looking. AND IT WAS STILL SNOWING!!! WOW!! So he turned around and looked at the kids who were all crowded around Izzy's miniature computer laughing at the dog as he danced around. Mr. Fujiyama gasped and ran over.
"The day is far too beautiful to be crammed inside all day!" he said, taking the computer away. "Let's all go outside and play in the snow!"
"MY MOM GAVE THAT TO ME!!" Izzy yelled, standing up and reaching for the computer.
"We have to play outside first!" Mr. Fujiyama said, putting the computer out of Izzy's reach. "I'll give it to you at the end of the day but right now, we're going to play in the snow okay?"
"BUT I WANT IT NOW!!" Izzy yelled. "She said I could play with it if I stayed here!!"
After a couple minutes of arguing, Mr. Fujiyama got the five of the kids out into the hallway and put on their hats and mittens (you know, those REALLY ity-bitty ones that you can barely get your fingers into?!?!) and snow pants and boots and jackets and all that other cute miniature stuff.
Then they went outside and they were all set LOOSE!!!
"I'm gonna make the biggest snowman in the WHOLE world!!" Tai declared as he started making a ball. Within about five seconds, he got bored of that and started packing snow together to make a wall. "Actually, I'm making a fort!"
"Well, my fort is going to be better!" Matt said as he started making one of his own.
"Wow, you boys are making FORTS?!" Sora said as she started to run over to Matt. But to get over to Matt, she had to run by Tai who sprang up and stopped her.
"Hi Sora!" he said. "You wanna play in my snow fort once I finish it?"
"Um…I don't want to play in your snow fort just in case Matt asks me to play in his." Sora said. Then she smiled, giggled stupidly and skipped over to Matt. The sound of glass shattering was all that Tai heard as he sadly walked back over to his fort.
"What are you doing?!" Matt yelled at Sora. "THIS IS MY SNOW FORT!! NO GIRLS ALLOWED!! COOTIES!!"
"But I'm helping!" Sora said.
"I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!!" Matt yelled, hurling a snowball at her. It hit her and at the time, she probably thought it was a good idea to pretend it was very painful so she could make Matt feel bad and comfort her. She turned around and pretended to start to cry but Matt ignored her and continued making his snow fort. Sora turned around to look at Matt but she suddenly looked up to see that Tai had run over to her.
"Are you okay Sora?!" he asked, sitting down next to her. "I've been hit by a snowball before and it hurts a lot." Just then, a snowball hit him on the side of his face. He turned around to see Matt stick out his tongue at him. "HEY!!" Tai yelled as he got up and ran back over to his fort. Then they both started throwing their snowballs at each other.
Unfortunately, they built their snow forts too far apart from each other because all the snowballs just landed a couple of feet in front of each fort.
"We should have made our snow forts closer together." Matt said with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Izzy was digging snow out from underneath the swing so that he'd be able to…use the swing. Eventually, he just sat down on the swing but it didn't really GO anywhere…
"I don't think these swings work." Said Izzy.
As for Mimi, she was just kind of all-too-confused about this whole thing with Matt, Tai and Sora. Something like…Sora was friends with Matt and Tai but Tai was friends with Sora and Matt…but ESPECIALLY Sora. And Matt was friends with Tai but he didn't like Sora but she wanted to be friends with him.
She scratched her head and crossed her arms.
Just then, Mr. Fujiyama came outside. "TIME TO COME IN!!" he bellowed.
"BUT MR. FUJIYAMA!!" they all whined. "WE JUST GOT OUTSIDE!!"
"WELL YOU HAVE TO COME IN NOW!!!" Mr. Fujiyama bellowed back. They all sighed and went back inside. "Okay everyone," he said. "I have the day all planned out. First we have snacks." Then he passed out the snacks. Everyone ate them the way they USUALLY did.
"Wow Mr. Fujiyama, your plan took up an entire minute." Said Matt.
Mr. Fujiyama shot Matt an evil glance. "Next we're going to watch a MOVIE!!"
"YAY!!" said everyone.
"What movie, Mr. Fujiyama?" asked Tai.
"Puff the Magic Dragon." Mr. Fujiyama said.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Matt yelled, putting two thumbs down and sticking out his tongue. Mr. Fujiyama sighed and brought all the kids over to the television set and put the movie in. "Mr. Fujiyama, this show is for BABIES!!"
"Just sit back and enjoy the movie." Mr. Fujiyama said, sitting down at his desk.
"Once, quite by chance," came the voice of Puff the Magic Dragon.
"BAD MOVIE!!" Matt yelled. "I'VE SEEN IT A MILLION TIMES!!"
"ME TOO!!" Sora said, looking at Matt.
"ME THREE!!" Tai agreed, looking at Sora.
"I've never seen it before." said Izzy.
"Me either." Said Mimi.
"Puff the Magic Dragon lives by the sea," sang the little guys on the tape. "And frolicked in the otomist in a land called Honalee!"
Matt groaned and lied down. "I HATE THIS MOVIE!!" he declared as if he hadn't said it enough.
"Me too!" said Sora. "Can't we watch a DIFFERENT one?!" Then she lied down next to Matt. Matt stared at her as if she was purple and had ten heads. Then he sat back up. Then Sora sat back up too.
"Stop copying me." Matt said, annoyed.
"I'm not copying you." Sora said with a smile.
Just then, Mr. Fujiyama walked over. "Obviously, this movie is not working out…" he started.
"When did you figure THAT out, Mr. Fujiyama?" asked Matt.
"So I'll just stop it," Mr. Fujiyama continued, ignoring Matt.
"NO!!" Izzy yelled. "I wanna watch it!"
"You can borrow it." Said Mr. Fujiyama.
"I don't want to borrow it." Izzy said.
"Do you have another movie we could watch?" asked Tai.
"Nope," said Mr. Fujiyama. "We're just going to skip movie time and move right onto naptime."
"PUT THE MOVIE BACK IN!!!" yelled all the kids at once.
"It's too late," Mr. Fujiyama said in a faggoty tone. All the kids complained and said how much they loved Puff the Magic Dragon and wanted to watch it as Mr. Fujiyama lied out the little mats.
"I'm not even tired, Mr. Fujiyama." Said Mimi.
"Well, I DID bring some naptime music!" Mr. Fujiyama said, holding up the cassette and cassette player he had brought. Everyone raised an eyebrow. Mr. Fujiyama instructed them all to lie down on the little mats as he rewound the cassette. He pressed play and the sound of Shadow's melodious French horns started playing.
"MR. FUJIYAMA!!" Matt yelled, sitting up. "MY ONE WEAKNESS!!! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!"
"I've taken note!" said Mr. Fujiyama. "The last two times we heard it, you were asleep within a minute!"
"Well not this time!" Matt said, crossing his arms. Mr. Fujiyama brought the cassette player over to Matt and set it down next to him as he went over to put the other kids to bed.
"I'm not tired, Mr. Fujiyama." Mimi repeated.
"Well, you'll just have to get tired." Mr. Fujiyama said as he moved onto Sora.
"I wanna sleep next to Matt." Said Sora, pointing to Matt who had already lied down and gone to sleep because of the melodious French horns.
"As long as you go to sleep." Mr. Fujiyama said. Sora smiled and dragged her little mat over to Little Matt. (HAW HAW HAW!! IT WAS FAR TOO TEMPTING!!!)
"I wanna sleep next to Sora." Tai said as Mr. Fujiyama walked over to him. "I mean, not that I LIKE her or anything it's just that…" Tai paused.
"Okay, go for it." Mr. Fujiyama said to help Tai out with the pause. Tai nodded and dragged HIS little mat over next to Sora. Then Mr. Fujiyama carefully sneaked past three that were all lined up in a row and then looked at Izzy. "My guess is that you want to sleep next to Tai right?" he whispered.
"No." Izzy said.
"Okay then." Mr. Fujiyama said. "Good night."
"I'm not going to sleep, Mr. Fujiyama." Said Izzy. "I just had a nap. I'm not tired so you can't make me go to sleep because it's not my bedtime and it's not my naptime. Cause I'm too big and old to have two naps right in a row."
"Well, you'll just have to deal." Mr. Fujiyama said with a sigh.
"I hate you, Mr. Fujiyama!" Izzy cried as if Mr. Fujiyama had just done something really cruel to him. "I'm not going to go to sleep! I'm just going to sit here and stay AWAKE because I'm not tired!"
"Okay, as long as you don't wake anybody up." Mr. Fujiyama said.
"Well I AM because I'm not tired!" Izzy said.
"Shhh!!" said Mr. Fujiyama. "If you promise to be quiet…I'll give you a goldfish!"
"I don't like goldfish." Said Izzy.
"How about an M&M?" suggested Mr. Fujiyama. Izzy thought about this for a second and then he agreed. Mr. Fujiyama handed him an M&M. Izzy stared at it.
"I want a blue one, Mr. Fujiyama." Said Izzy. Mr. Fujiyama sighed and handed Izzy a BLUE M&M. Izzy ate it. "Can I have another one?" Mr. Fujiyama sighed again and handed Izzy a handful of M&Ms.
At this point, Tai sat up. "THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" he yelled.
"SHHH!!" Mr. Fujiyama hissed, looking at Matt to make sure he was still asleep. Sora sat up too.
"I want some M&Ms too!" she said.
Mr. Fujiyama said whatever and took Izzy's M&Ms. "HEY!!" Izzy yelled. But then Mr. Fujiyama gave him back a third of what he had before but he really didn't seem to notice. Then he gave Sora and Tai each the other thirds. Just then, Mimi walked over.
"I don't like being alone, Mr. Fujiyama." She said. "And I want some M&Ms."
"Just share them with someone!" groaned Mr. Fujiyama.
"I want some of my OWN!!" Mimi whined. Mr. Fujiyama grabbed Izzy's again and split it in half. Once again, Izzy didn't seem to notice when he only got back half of what he originally had. Then he gave the other half to Mimi. "Now can you move my mat over with everyone else?" she asked.
"If you want to move then you'll have to move your OWN mat." He said. Mimi crossed her arms and went over to get her little mat. She dragged the little mat over to everyone else. Mr. Fujiyama turned around only to see that she had accidentally put half of her little mat ON TOP of Matt (the human being).
"Get off Matt!" Mr. Fujiyama said in a loud whisper.
Mimi looked down. "I'm not on my mat yet." She said, a little confused.
"No, not your mat, THAT Matt!" Mr. Fujiyama said, a little annoyed as he pointed to Matt who, thankfully, was still asleep.
"Oh." Mimi said. Then she paused. "What about him?"
Mr. Fujiyama turned red but then he calmed down. "Please get your mat off of Matt." He said as calmly as he could. Mimi nodded and pulled the little mat off of Matt. (Confusing? Yes? GOOD!!)
Mr. Fujiyama counted heads to see that all five of them were lying down. He sighed with relief even though he knew that none of them were asleep except for Matt. (He knew that Matt wasn't PRETENDING to be asleep because if Matt were really awake he would probably be up demanding M&Ms and causing havoc among all the other children.)
Then he walked over to his chair and slumped down in it. He promised himself that this would be his last day of daycare.
"Why did you move your mat all the way over here?" Sora whispered to Tai.
"I don't know." Tai said. "Why did YOU come all the way over here?"
"Because I wanted to sleep next to Matt," Sora replied with a giggle as if she was embarrassed.
"What, do you LIKE him?" Tai asked, trying to sound as though he was teasing her.
Sora paused and thought about it for a minute. "I don't!" she said firmly. "What makes you think that?"
"Nothing." Tai said.
Meanwhile, Izzy and Mimi were carrying on what they must of thought was an intelligent conversation. "Cookie Monster is so much better than Elmo." Said Izzy.
"No way!" Mimi argued. "Elmo's cuter!"
Izzy looked disgusted. "Cute?" he said. "But Cookie Monster's funny and…he eats all the cookies and he goes like this…" Then Izzy made a really cute impression of Cookie Monster.
"Yeah but Elmo is more popular!" Mimi continued. "And he's red."
"Well Cookie Monster is blue." Izzy remarked.
"MR. FUJIYAMA!!" Mimi practically shrieked. "IZZY SAYS THAT COOKIE MONSTER IS BETTER THAN ELMO BUT I SAY…" At this point, Mr. Fujiyama had run over and clamped his hand over Mimi's mouth. With his free hand he made the 'shh' sign as he took his hand off her mouth.
"What do you think Mr. Fujiyama?" asked Izzy.
"I always liked Big Bird." Mr. Fujiyama said very quietly. "And Harry Monster. Grover's a good one too."
"I like Oscar the Grouch!" Tai said, turning around and facing them. "He's funny because he lives in a trashcan he's really mean to everyone!"
"I like Prairie Dawn!" said Sora.
Mr. Fujiyama was just about to defend Harry Monster and Big Bird when he remembered that they were all supposed to be sleeping. "Hey, go to sleep." He said.
"No," they all said almost in unison.
"You have to or else I'll separate you in all the corners around the room." Mr. Fujiyama warned.
"But Mr. Fujiyama," said Sora. "There are only four corners so two people would have to be in the same corner."
"I'll put one in the middle." Mr. Fujiyama said.
"You're so mean Mr. Fujiyama!" cried Mimi.
Mr. Fujiyama was just about to carry through with his threat when suddenly he heard a faint knock at the door. He turned around to see Mrs. Ishida standing there. He walked over to her. "You're very early." He remarked.
"I'm sorry Mr. Fujiyama," said Mrs. Ishida. "But I have to go out and do a few errands…"
"So you're not picking up Matt…?" Mr. Fujiyama said, trying not to sound upset.
"No, I'm not." she said.
"Then why'd you come by?" asked Mr. Fujiyama.
"I was just wondering if you could watch my other son, TK, for just about ten or fifteen minutes." She said. Mr. Fujiyama's eyes widened as he had a little white cloud appear over his head. Inside the white cloud were two little identical Matts running around causing havoc. Mrs. Ishida looked as though she could see the little cloud. "Don't worry," she said. "He's only about a year and half. He'll be no trouble at all." Then she handed Mr. Fujiyama the baby that was in her arms.
"Oh okay," said Mr. Fujiyama.
"And just tell me really quick," Mrs. Ishida said. "How's Matt been?"
"Actually…" Mr. Fujiyama said. "I think he's been the best so far…he's the only one who's gone to bed…"
Mrs. Ishida looked as though she wanted to spit out 'LIAR!!!' but she held back. She smiled, waved goodbye to TK and then left. Mr. Fujiyama turned around only to see Izzy, Sora, Mimi and Tai all standing there looking curious.
"What are you three doing here?!" he demanded.
"Mr. Fujiyama, there are four of us." Said Tai. The sound of a kettle going off was heard in the distance.
"I thought my mom was here." Said Izzy.
"What's that?" asked Sora, pointing to TK.
"Oh…it's Matt's younger brother…" Mr. Fujiyama said as he put TK down on the floor. TK had to catch his balance before he could stand up like a good little dooby.
"He's so cute!!" squealed Mimi like a knave. "Can I play with him?!"
"No, you're supposed to be sleeping!" Mr. Fujiyama said.
"But we're not tired." Said Tai.
"Well TOO BAD!!" Mr. Fujiyama practically yelled.
"Mr. Fujiyama, you have to be quiet or Matt'll wake up." said Sora.
"Matt?" said TK obliviously. Then he hobbled into the other room like a little duck to see his older brother sleeping there and looking CUTE!!! "Matt!" he declared, sitting down next to him. Mr. Fujiyama and the other kids came in the room too. "Shh!" TK said. Then he pointed to Matt. "Matt seeping."
"I'm glad someone finally sees it my way." Said Mr. Fujiyama with a sigh.
"Mr. Fujiyama, can we just wake Matt up and play?" asked Tai. "It's very BORING how we have to just be quiet."
"No!" Mr. Fujiyama said.
"But NONE of us are tired!" complained Sora.
"I'm not tired Mr. Fujiyama." Said Izzy. "So I'm not taking a nap."
"Well…" Mr. Fujiyama said, weakening. "I suppose we could move Matt into the other room…" Then he turned around to see that TK was sleeping on top of Matt. Mr. Fujiyama figured that they both must have a weakness for French Horns.
"Oh and I wanted to play with him too." Said Mimi.
"All right," said Mr. Fujiyama, walking over to Matt and TK. "I'm going to…" Then he tilted his head as if looking at the two from a different angle was going to help him figure out a way to move them without either of them waking up. "Um…"
"Mr. Fujiyama, I'll help!" came Tai's voice. Mr. Fujiyama turned around and grabbed Tai's shoulders just in time before he reached them.
"No, that's quite all right." He said. Then he thought for a minute. "Wait…why am I caving into you guys? I'M the teacher! You all have to listen to me! So all of you get back on your mats and go to sleep!"
"You want us to sleep on Matt?" Tai said, trying to be difficult.
Mr. Fujiyama looked annoyed. "Yeah, Tai, I want you to sleep on Matt." He said sarcastically.
"Why?" asked Izzy, confused.
"Just…lie down!!" Mr. Fujiyama said a little louder than he needed to. After a minute of complaining and groaning, all the kids reluctantly lied down on their little mats.
Mr. Fujiyama sighed and sat down on his chair. Then he started playing tic-tac-toe with himself because he knew that his peace would be short lived. And he was right because suddenly the cassette ended because there was no more melodious French Horn music on that side. He froze.
"Mr. Fujiyama, the tape's over!" said Tai suddenly, holding up the tape. Mr. Fujiyama sprinted over to the tape and put it back in and pressed 'rewind'. He stared at Matt and TK as if telepathically daring them to wake up. Then the tape finally finished rewinding. "Mr. Fujiyama, the tape's ready to be turned over." Said Tai as if Mr. Fujiyama didn't notice. Mr. Fujiyama turned it over and pressed play and the melodious French Horns started playing again. He sighed with relief.
At this time, he looked at his watch and noticed that it was lunch time. Of course, he didn't really look at his watch, he only really listened to the sound of Tai's stomach growling.
Mr. Fujiyama debated with himself on whether to wake them up to have lunch for a little while. "Mr. Fujiyama, I'm going to die if I don't eat something right now." Said Tai.
"We'll wait until Matt's mom comes back and picks up TK and then we can all have lunch." Said Mr. Fujiyama, hoping against hope and WISHING against wish that Mrs. Ishida would take a long time to get back. Unfortunately, that's when Mrs. Ishida walked in.
"Wow, they're STILL asleep?" she said.
"Yeah," Mr. Fujiyama said. "How do you get them to sleep without the French Horn music?"
"Do you think I'm some kind of idiot or something?" Mrs. Ishida asked. "Of course I use French Horn music. I can make them go to sleep whenever I want them to. Like when we were at this ceremony, they were being really obnoxious and laughing a lot so I just gave them some headphones and they were asleep in a snap."
"Strange that it works on BOTH of them but none of the other kids." Mr. Fujiyama wondered.
"Yes, strange it is." Mrs. Ishida said. "But I'm thankful for the strangeness." Then she picked up TK in such a way that ALL moms know how to pick up small children so that they don't wake up.
"Are you going to take Matt too?" asked Mr. Fujiyama. Mrs. Ishida looked at Mr. Fujiyama as if he were stupid.
"Mr. Fujiyama, I am his mother and I have to deal with him 24/7." She said. "You only have him for a couple hours on the weekdays. I think I should have a FEW hours of peace." Mr. Fujiyama sighed and nodded as Mrs. Ishida left.
"NOW can we have lunch?!" asked Tai eagerly. "We've been having naptime for…FIVE HOURS!!"
"Of course we have." Said Mr. Fujiyama. So then he nodded and all of the kids said YAY and stood up. Mr. Fujiyama stopped the French Horn music and shook Matt awake. Matt sat up and looked around.
"See Mr. Fujiyama?" he said. "I TOLD you I could stay awake!" Then he yawned.
"Yeah…okay…" said Mr. Fujiyama. Then he handed all of them their prodigious Dragon Ball Z lunch boxes.
"Oh Matt, you were asleep but Mr. Fujiyama passed out M&Ms and I saved some for you!" said Sora as she pulled out about five M&Ms from her pocket.
"I wasn't asleep." Matt said.
"Okay, but I saved them for you." Sora said.
"I don't want them." Said Matt.
"I'll have them!" said Izzy.
"Yeah, give them to Izzy." Matt said. Sora nodded and handed the M&Ms to Izzy.
"Since you gave five of your M&Ms to Matt, I saved these for you!" said Tai, holding out six M&Ms. "There used to be seven…but I ate one."
"Oh…thanks Tai but I don't really want them." Sora said.
"Oh." Said Tai.
"Can I have them?" asked Mimi. But she was too late because Tai had already devoured them.
Mr. Fujiyama had a lot of things going through his head as he thought about each other kids: Wow, Matt's been REALLY good today! Even though he DID go and say that it was Opposite Day. He was the only one who went to sleep…although, it's not like he went to sleep on his own free will. Maybe I should just carry the cassette around all day and whenever he's being a pain, I can just put him right out!
I think that Izzy's been pretty good today too. Except for the fact that he wouldn't go to bed. But I guess all the other kids didn't do that anyway so it's not like I can blame only him. And plus, Izzy's usually the good one out of the boys so I have to give him some credit for that.
Sora's kind of been acting like a jerk to Tai today. I wonder what suddenly made her act like this all of a sudden? And why did she want to sleep next to Matt? Oh well…I guess I should leave her alone since she's almost never bad and I can always expect the best from her.
As for Tai…I don't know what got over him either! He suddenly LIKES being around Sora? I think they're a little young for this sort of thing! But he's acting better today so I guess I shouldn't go around complaining. Though I do kind of feel bad for him sometimes since Sora keeps putting him down for Matt all the time. And he and Matt haven't been in a fight ALL day today! I'm feeling warm and fuzzy inside!
And Mimi…has Mimi even been here today? WOW!! She's such a good girl! I wish ALL the kids were always like the way she's being today! I guess I'll have to give her a good report but it's not like I ever DON'T give her a good report. Her only shaky time was naptime but then again, that was a shaky time for EVERYONE…except Matt. OH WELL!!
Meanwhile, all the kids where thinking about Mr. Fujiyama…
Tai: Mr. Fujiyama is so mean to me sometimes. Hey, where's Mutoid Man?!
Matt: Stupid Mr. Fujiyama and the French Horns…I had to go and show my weakness…now I bet he's planning to use them on me ALL the time.
Sora: Mr. Fujiyama is kind of being mean today.
Mimi: I wanted to watch Puff the Magic Dragon. I HATE MR. FUJIYAMA!!
Izzy: I want my computer dog back.
"So, is everyone done with lunch?" asked Mr. Fujiyama, clapping his hands together. Everyone nodded and gave Mr. Fujiyama the thumbs up sign.
"Mr. Fujiyama, did you steal my Mutoid Man action figure?" asked Tai.
"No, you dropped it on the ground so I put it on my desk for you to pick up later." Mr. Fujiyama replied, walking over to his desk and picking up Tai's Mutoid Man action figure and handing it to Tai.
"Oh, your dolly?" Matt teased.
"It's not a doll!" Tai yelled. "It's an action figure!"
"Action figures and dolls are the SAME thing, Tai!" Matt said, crossing his arms. "Can I see your Barbies?"
"I don't have any Barbies!!" Tai yelled, throwing one of the blocks that were on the floor at Matt. It hit Matt in the arm.
"Ouch!" he yelled. "You jerk!!" Then he threw a block at Tai.
"Dork!!" Tai yelled back as he dropped Mutoid Man and jumped on top of Matt. Mr. Fujiyama turned around to see them suddenly fighting and figured that if he hadn't thought about the fact that they hadn't fought yet then they wouldn't have…but since he thought about it…they DID start fighting!! HAW HAW HAW!!! So Mr. Fujiyama walked over to break it up.
"We were just playing, Mr. Fujiyama!" said Tai, staring at Matt with a look of hate.
"You two have been being very good so please continue to be that way!" Mr. Fujiyama said as he put them down.
"I don't like Tai, Mr. Fujiyama." Said Matt. "In fact, I hate Tai almost as much as I hate this daycare center and YOU, Mr. Fujiyama!!"
"I'm sorry to hear that." Mr. Fujiyama said, rolling his eyes.
"I hate you even more than I hate Puff the Magic Dragon!" Matt continued as Mr. Fujiyama walked away, ignoring him. "And the French Horns!"
"Matt, if you say one more thing about hating someone or something then I'll have to put you on time out." warned Mr. Fujiyama.
"Yeah Matt, you wouldn't want to be put on time out," said Tai, sticking out his tongue.
Matt, being the troublesome little five-year-old he is, decided to push it and say that he hated time out. So Mr. Fujiyama, not really having any patience with Matt anymore, took Matt out into the hall, gave him a long talk and then sat him down on a chair out in the hall all by himself. Then he walked back inside where the leftover kids were all…um…PLAYING WITH BLOCKS!!!
"Okay, what do you all want to do now?" he asked.
They all stared at Mr. Fujiyama, not really caring about what he was saying because none of them really had any respect towards him at this point in time.
"Okay…" said Mr. Fujiyama slowly. "Then how about…we just go and play outside in the snow again!" Then he took them out into the hall and got all of their miniature snow equipment that they needed to go outside in the snow.
"Mr. Fujiyama, can I get out of the chair yet?" asked Matt as he watched the other four kids get their stuff on.
"No, you have to stay inside." Mr. Fujiyama replied.
"Why?" asked Matt.
"Because I said so." Mr. Fujiyama answered.
"But that's mean, Mr. Fujiyama." Matt said. Mr. Fujiyama shrugged and then let all the other four go outside and play.
"Now who am I going to deck with snowballs?" wondered Tai as he scanned the playground at all the various children. "Not Sora cause…well…" Then paused and blushed as if someone was actually listening to him. Then he got over it. "Not Izzy and Mimi because they're small and defenseless and they'll probably start crying! By keeping Matt in, Mr. Fujiyama just made ME have less fun! So it's like a punishment for ME!! That's not fair!!"
"Going down the slide that has snow at the bottom is really fun." Mimi told Izzy as she climbed up the ladder to the top of the slide. "Cause then when you reach the bottom, you get a soft landing. You also don't go all that fast so you don't fall off."
"Oh." Said Izzy. Then Mimi went down the slide.
Sora was sitting in Matt's abandoned snow fort. She was just kind of sitting there…being boring…like the boring normal average person she is. Yawn.
Tai skipped over to Izzy and Mimi who were just continuously going down the slide. "My turn!" Tai declared.
"I was next in line." Izzy said.
"Yeah but you've already had a million trillion billion zillion turns and I haven't had ANY yet!" said Tai. Izzy stared at Tai. "And I'm bigger and I can hurt you easily!" Izzy stepped backwards and Tai climbed up the slide ladder. He slid down very, very, VERY slowly until he reached the bottom. "How is that fun?!" he demanded. Izzy and Mimi shrugged.
At this point, he noticed Sora sitting in the swing that Izzy had previously 'cleared out'. So he ran over and sat down in the swing next to hers. She looked up with a smile but then frowned when she saw Tai. "Oh… hi Tai." She said.
"Hi Sora!" he said.
"I thought you were Matt at first." She said. "Because of you're yellow scarf."
Tai looked down at his scarf and then at Sora. "Nope!" he said. "It's just me, regular ol' Tai!"
"Yeah." Sora said with a fake smile. "I know." They sat there in silence for a minute. "What do you think Matt's doing inside right now?" Sora asked Tai suddenly.
"I don't know." Tai answered. "But who cares?! Matt's dumb anyway." Sora stared at Tai for a minute and then shook her head as if she were some kind of disappointed mother. "So, what do you wanna do? Izzy and Mimi are younger than we are…I mean I
"Yeah," Sora said unenthusiastically.
"So what do you wanna do?" Tai asked again. "Unless you want to stay on this swing because that's always fun! We could have a contest on who can swing higher than the other and that will be really fun!"
"Um…no thanks." Sora said.
"But what do I know?!" Tai said. "But we could see who can jump farther when we jump off the swing! I beat Matt last time and…" But then Tai noticed that Sora seemed to go into a trance at the mere sound of Matt's name.
Tai looked down for a minute. "I'll never really understand girls." He thought. But then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Mimi standing there.
"Tai," she said in a caring voice. But then her voice shifted to an angry tone. "If you're not going to use the swings then GET UP!!" Tai looked behind her to see Izzy nodding and agreeing.
"No, I'm using the swing you butthead!" said Tai. "Now get away before I crash into you and break your head open!"
"That's okay, you can use my swing." Said Sora, getting up.
"Yeah, you can use mine too!" said Tai, jumping off as well. Mimi and Izzy sat down on the empty swings.
"I'll never understand boys," thought Mimi. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Izzy standing there with a big grin on his face.
"Mimi," he said. "Can you give me a push?"
"The snow's a little deep," Mimi said. "Uh…" Then she stood up on the swing. Izzy did the same thing. "Look, I bet I can jump farther than you can!"
"No, me!" Izzy said. Then they both jumped off the swing and landed in the snow. They laughed at this and even forgot to determine who won because they immediately got back on the swing to jump off again.
Just then, Mr. Fujiyama came outside. "TIME TO COME IN!!!" he bellowed. Everyone groaned but eventually came back in.
"Your parents should be coming soon to pick you up." said Mr. Fujiyama as he helped take off the snow stuff of the kids. He finally got to Tai who was bouncing up and down.
"Mr. Fujiyama, my foot is REALLY cold!" he said, pointing to his left foot.
"It's probably just from being outside." Said Mr. Fujiyama as he took of Tai's boots. From the left boot came a huge pile of snow. "You went the whole recess with this much snow in your boot?!"
"What was I supposed to do, Mr. Fujiyama?!" demanded Tai. "Take it off while I was outside?! It's all your fault for putting my boots on the wrong feet ANYWAY!!" Then all of a sudden, Tai got a look of pain on his face. "MR. FUJIYAMA!! MY FOOT IS DYING!!! IT STINGS!! I THINK A BEE STUNG MY FOOT MR. FUJIYAMA!!" Then he burst into tears.
"Calm down!" said Mr. Fujiyama as he shut the door to the room and started rubbing Tai's foot in attempt to make it feel better.
"MR. FUJIYAMA!!!!" Tai yelled. "THAT'S NOT HELPING!!!"
Mr. Fujiyama pressed the little button that said 'nurse' in the hallway. A little nurse person came by within minutes. Mr. Fujiyama explained about the snow in the boot and all that kind of stuff and then the nurse took Tai to her office.
"Okay, let's go back in the room." Said Mr. Fujiyama. "But VERY quietly," he added as he opened the door.
"Why?" asked Mimi but then they noticed that Mr. Fujiyama had OBVIOUSLY gotten fed up with Matt and had started the melodious French Horn music so now he was sleeping on a little mat!! That evil devious Mr. Fujiyama!!
"Great, now we have to be quiet again!" groaned Izzy.
"Don't worry, your parents are going to pick you up soon." Said Mr. Fujiyama. "And I have an idea! Since none of you went to sleep at the FIRST naptime, you can all go to sleep at THIS naptime so that when your parents pick you up, they can have an easy time!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" yelled Sora, Mimi and Izzy.
"SHHHH!!" hissed Mr. Fujiyama, looking over at Matt. "You will all go to sleep whether you like it or not!" So then he lied them all down on little mats.
"I want to sleep next to Matt and the tape player since the French horns make me go to sleep too." Lied Sora like a knave.
"Whatever!!" said Mr. Fujiyama, throwing his hands up in the air. Since none of them got any sleep before, they all lied down and went to sleep very easily. Mr. Fujiyama was JUST about to sigh with relief when Tai walked in.
"NOT ANOTHER NAPTIME!!!" he yelled when he saw all of them sleeping. Mr. Fujiyama sprang up to shut Tai up but he was too late because all four of the sleeping children had already waken up!! (Of course, Matt fell back asleep within seconds since the cassette player was still playing!! HAW HAW HAW!!)
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" everyone pretended to cry to annoy Mr. Fujiyama. Matt woke up again, pretended to cry for about a second and then went back to sleep because of the French horns!! DAMN THOSE HORNS FROM FRANCE!!!
Mr. Fujiyama was just about to yell "SHUT UP!!!!!" when Mr. Kamiya came in.
"Of course, take the one who's NOT crying!" Mr. Fujiyama thought.
"Hi Mr. Fujiyama!" said Mr. Kamiya with a big smile on his face. "Good news, Tai! Kari's NOT sick today!!"
"YAY!!" said Tai happily.
"All right, get Mutoid Man and let's get out of here!!" said Mr. Kamiya. "Ready Tai Man?!"
"READY SUPER DAD!!" Tai yelled as he jumped on Mr. Kamiya's back and they ran out of the room like happy little knaves.
Mr. Fujiyama suddenly remembered the huge bag of Barbies that he brought from home. So he dragged over the bag and dumped it out in front of the remaining kids. It glowed like gold to the girls.
"Oooooooooo…" they awed as they each grabbed a doll and immediately started playing.
"Mr. Fujiyama, I don't play with dolls." Said Izzy. "I'm a boy." Just then, Mrs. Izumi walked in!! "MOM!!" yelled Izzy, running over. "They tried to make me play with dolls and they took away my computer dog and…and…and…"
"That's okay, Izzy." said Mrs. Izumi. "I'm sure Mr. Fujiyama had a good reason for taking away your computer."
"No!" Izzy said. "He took it away for no reason!"
"Kids are just that way." Said Mr. Fujiyama, handing the computer to Mrs. Izumi. "Izzy was pretty good today except for when it came to naptime. He just wouldn't go to sleep!"
"Oh…I guess I shouldn't have given him that nap beforehand." Said Mrs. Izumi. Mr. Fujiyama's eyes turned into 'x's as he floated off screen. "I mean, he told me last time that you didn't give them naps and he wasn't all that pleasant to be around that day so I figured that I'd just give him a nap before he came here!"
"No, don't worry about it." Said Mr. Fujiyama. Mrs. Izumi nodded and then left.
Mr. Fujiyama turned around to see that Mimi had already left with her mom. She had also taken all of the Barbie dolls with her. OH WELL!!! Mr. Fujiyama shrugged and then noticed that Sora was now stroking Matt's head.
"No, don't touch him!!" Mr. Fujiyama yelled in a loud whisper, fearing Matt to wake up.
"I'm being very gentle." Sora assured Mr. Fujiyama. Just then, Mrs. Ishida came in.
"Is it STILL naptime?" she said, surprised.
"No, we decided to have a second one, just he and I." Mr. Fujiyama said with a wink.
"I see." Mrs. Ishida said. "Well, I'll just be going now. And I want to thank you again for watching TK for that short period of time."
"He was really no trouble at all." Mr. Fujiyama said.
"I know." Mrs. Ishida said, flattering herself. "He never is." But then she stopped because she figured that if she flattered herself anymore then she might accidentally bring up Matt. "Well, bye now!" Then she picked up Matt in that ever so special way and left.
Then Wufei (not the real one) came and picked up Sora.
AT THE HOMES!!!!!!!
"Dad," said Tai. "Mr. Fujiyama purposely put my boots on the wrong feet so that I'd get snow in my boots and that my feet would die."
"Oh, that's too bad." Said Mr. Kamiya.
"Yeah, it was really mean." Tai continued.
"It's a shame that you have a psychopathic teacher who would do something like that JUST for the soul purpose to make your life more difficult." Said Mr. Kamiya with a sigh, not believing a word that Tai was saying. Tai nodded and crossed his arms as if it upset him.
Then he shrugged and picked up Mutoid Man and started playing with him. "Mutoid Man, you're so stupid." He said.
MEANWHILE!!!!
"Izzy, maybe you should try a DIFFERENT game." Said Mrs. Izumi. "I mean, the one BESIDES the dancing game. I'm getting a little tired of your made up songs…"
"But I like this game." Izzy said as he continued to hit the keyboard and watch the dog dance around.
"But look at all these different games you can choose from!" Mrs. Izumi said, handing Izzy the manual. "They ALL have the dog in them! You can do addition, subtraction, multiplication…" Mrs. Izumi paused for a minute. "Then again…play your heart out."
"Thank you mom." Said Izzy happily as he continued to play with the dancing dog.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Oh Mimi, we absolutely LOVE you!!" said Mimi's prodigious dad as he dumped the pile of new Barbie dolls into Mimi's already gynumbous pile of Barbie dolls.
"That's right, we sure do!!" said Mimi's retarded mother as she showered Mimi with kisses, hugs and presents.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Mom, you should tell Mr. Fujiyama that the French horns don't work on me anymore." Matt said. "It's not fair because he just kept putting me to sleep and I missed out on the entire day!"
"And wouldn't you know it?" Mrs. Ishida said. "Mr. Fujiyama said that that was your best behaved day yet!"
"But it was BORING!" Matt complained.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Mrs. Ishida said suddenly. "When I came to pick you up, there was this nice little girl sitting next to you and stroking your head! It was very cute, I think!"
"She was TOUCHING me?!" Matt said as if he were disgusted. "Well, I had too many naps today and I'm going to be really difficult to put to bed!"
"That's what you think." Said Mrs. Ishida as she looked at the French horn tape out of the corner of her eye.
"I'm burning that tape someday." Matt said.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Mom, there's this boy I like but I don't think he likes me back!" said Sora to Wufei. (Not the REAL Wufei, only an imposter who looks like him.)
"Oh Sora, let me tell you about how I met your father." Said Wufei.
THE END!!!
