Shrub: (walks out, and raises a hand timidly, giving a half-wave) Er…hello,
everyone…I'm Shrub, and, um, I'm allergic to oxygen. (looks at a small
scrap of paper shakily) Oh man, I forgot! I can't believe I forgot!
(mutters to himself) I forgot to tell you guys, er, people, um, enjoy the
chapter! (quickly runs away, yelling, "They're looking at me, they're
looking at me!")
Shrub: Ooookay, what a freak. Hey, what the – he took my name!
Takato and Rika walked into the house, holding hands. "So, pirate-boy, what do you wanna do now?"
"How 'bout we…" he leaned in close to her ear, "play video games?"
Rika rolled her eyes in disgust. "For a moment there, I thought you were going to say something romantic." But Takato was already gone, sitting with a few other kids in front of the TV. She sighed, then walked over as well.
"Aaaaagh! You guys are playing Elmo's ABC's?" (Note: I don't own Sesame Street or anything like that) Takato moaned in despair.
Kenta, going as a nerd (himself), turned around and raised a finger to his mouth. "Sshh! Kazu's on his R's! He needs to concentrate."
Rika smiled smugly, "What's wrong, Takato? Don't want to learn your ABC's?"
"Doesn't Henry have any other games?"
"Well, it was either this or Barbie Saves the World…"
"Yessss! I'm on S!" Kazu pumped his fists.
Kenta bowed down. "Hail the Master of Elmo's ABC's!"
Takato muttered, "Darn edu-tainment games…" but was pulled to his feet by Rika.
"Let's dance, pirate-boy."
"Er, uh…"
"What's wrong? You don't want people to see me dancing with you?"
"You're only doing this because you KNOW I can't dance, aren't you?"
"Yep. Let's go." Rika dragged him along with her to the living room.
In the living room…
A stereo on a shelf was playing some songs as people danced. Henry was dancing around, looking very un-cool-while-trying-to-look-cool. He waved to Rika and Takato, who just entered the room. "Hey you two!"
Takato pulled on Rika's sleeve. "Um…pretend you don't know him…"
"Very funny, Takato." Henry grinned. He was standing right next to them.
Takato pretended to look confused. "Who are you? And how do you know my name? You've been stalking me, haven't you?"
Rika groaned. "What did I say about the corny jokes?"
"Why don't we get back to the dancing," Henry suggested. "Guys on the wall, girls pick their partners!" he yelled.
Takato and the other boys lined up along the wall. Just then, Jeri entered the room. Henry said, "Okay, go pick your partners." Rika started for Takato, but Jeri ran over to him and grabbed his hand.
"I pick Takato!"
Shrub: Don't you hate it when you type up a three page story and post it up, only to have it reduced to a few paragraphs? Rest assured, I don't! In fact, I love when that happens! It just makes my day. Read before review, except after c. (Huh?) No flames, either, I might catch on fire and have to use the "Stop, Drop, and Roll" procedure. And if you want to, email me at shiftyeyesdogg@yahoo.com.
