The Scary English Oral Exam
A sort-of Omake of Princess-wanna-be...in the Exam Era

"One more day and I'm done with the exam!" A girl with long dark brown hair, which tied in a waist-long ponytail, and brown eyes exclaimed as she walked into her school, prepared for her last exam.

For the two whole weeks, she's working endlessly for her *censored* exam. "After this, I'll finally be free..." she thought. Then she started to hum Otome Ranman under her breathe.

She climbed the stairs to the 2nd floor and found the reporting center. Then she was told to sit outside since she need to wait for another 15 minutes for her turn. Outside the corridor, she found her friends, who were also waiting for the English oral exam.

"Kathy-baka! How did the Chinese Literature goes?" The girl asked.

"Oh, I'm dead on that one." A girl with a tomboyish hair style replied. "I guess computer studies is pretty easy for you, right JK?"

"I think I would get a pass. But not sure. And I'm still worrying about Chinese." The long-haired girl, JK, answered. "I think Iris won't have any problem with the Eng. Lit. though. Since she is some distant relative of Fuu, good at every subject in the world."

"Quit your joke, Jack." A girl with Yui-in-OVA hair style said. "How about your Chemistry, Clara?"

"Same as JK, a pass I think." The last girl with mid-back-long black hair answered. "Who will go first for the oral?"

"Me," JK replied. "I hope it's not difficult or anything doing with pop star. Else, I'm doomed."

"5 more minutes till we could get a hold on our paper." Kathy announced. "What will you guys do after this? We'll be officially free!"

"Sino (a shopping center) for DVD." JK said without thinking for a second. "I wanna find Inu Yasha movie DVD. If there is, Wedding Peach will be nice too. I've been saving my money during these weeks."

"I think I will stay at home for my computer games." Clara thought for a while than replied.

"I will go straight for my bed." Kathy said and released a biiiiig yawn. Then everyone started to look at Iris.

"Me? I will..."

"Go straight to my Chinese textbook because I have extra Chinese class on Monday." The three of them said together.

"Am I really that predictable?" Iris sweat dropped.

"To tell the truth: yes." JK ended. Then a woman in her mid-thirties come out with 4 exam papers.

"Now all of you, go to 105 (i.e. first floor, 5th classroom) and sit outside on the desks. The helpers there will tell you what to do." The woman said.

"Oh, Ms. Leung. You called us up to the second floor then chased us back the first floor now. You don't understand how tired we will be?" JK in a fake sad tone. Only to be hit by the woman (Ms. Leung) on the head with a book.

"Jackie, you know I'm going to yell at you on Monday right? Now, go to the classroom!" Ms. Leung pasted a fake annoyed expression. "You're just as bad as Sophia!"

AN: Sophia is my classmate, who enjoyed annoying teachers as much as sessha do de gozaru.

"Then yell at Sophia instead!" After that, JK ran down the stairs as fast as she could in order to escape from another hit from Ms. Leung.

Finally the 4 of them settled in the classroom 105. They took their seats: JK the first one, Iris the second, Clara the third and Kathy the last. Then a man with short black hair and a yellow bandana came out of the classroom with an examiner instruction in hand. When all of them looked up from their paper, they all screamed the same name...

"RYOUGA??!!" ...with JK the loudest.

"Hello, everyone." Ryouga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2 greeted them.

"I realized that you didn't get lost when you came out from the classroom." Kathy said after recovering from her shock.

"Yeah, because of some help there." He pointed inside the classroom then held up the instruction. "Candidates, you have six minutes for the preparation, you may begin now." Then he pressed a little timer and left.

The four of them started to read the instruction on the exam paper. The first part is the role play. But the topic is really too interesting and...familiar to them.


Situation

You are Christ Wong. You work in a DVD company. Your boss has asked you to do an interview in the shopping mall, asking the costumers about their opinion of translated Anime DVD. He / She has given you a form to use during the interview.

Task 1

Examiner 1 is a costumer.

You must begin the role play be introducing yourself and explaining that you want to interview him / her about translated Anime DVD. Asked the costumer questions and make notes on the form so that you can report the information to your boss later. For question number 6 you should think of ONE other relevant question to ask.

When you have completed Task 1, go to Examiner 2.

Task 2

Examiner 2, Mr. / Ms Green, is your boss. He / She will ask you some question about your interview with the costumer.

Mr. / Ms Green may ask the questions in a different order from that on the form and may also use different words for the questions. You may use your notes to help you.

When you have completed Task 2, give the form and Candidate's Instruction to Examiner 2.


'This is...just too...well...Better pray that Taka is not here.' JK thought as she turned the exam paper and look at the form, sweat dropping.

'JK gonna make it an A in the oral for sure.' Iris thought as she wrote down the respective questions that she is going to ask.

'I have a feeling that the exam will be as bizarre as the time in the studio...' Clara thought as she starred at the hints for the questions.

'I wonder there is any other Anime characters in this classroom...Better pray that Yousuke from Ai Tenshi Densetsu is not there.' Kathy thought as she looked at the situation again.

Six minutes passed already. The door open again and Ryouga came out again. He called JK inside. And JK thought that she was about to faint when she saw the Examiner 1. 'Oh god...tell me that I have something wrong with my eyes...' She thought and wiped her glasses a bit. But her eyes didn't have any problem in identifying the person sitting in front of the desk.

It's Mizuki Kaho from Card Captor Sakura.

'But...but...I thought Mizuki-sensei is teaching Math!' She thought. But she shook it off because she need to take the exam and go for the Inu Yasha DVD as soon as possible.

"Good morning," JK said as she begin the role play. "My name is Christ Wong. I have a few questions. Would you mind answering them?"

"Certainly." Kaho said with her trademark mysterious smile.

"Thanks." JK continued while trying to suppress the wish of screaming out right there. "How often do you buy DVD?"

"I buy some about twice a month." She answered and JK wrote down on her form.

"Then, how much does one DVD cost?"

"It cost $40 (HK dollar of course)." JK dropped it down again as she have some not-so-nice feeling about the Task 2 and second part of the exam, which is the discussion.

"What is your favorite DVD translation company?" JK felt that the feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

"My favorite is the Pop & In Entertainment Co., Ltd." She answered, not noticing the nervousness of the devil girl.

Yet another AN: See Omake I for further explanation.

"Why do you like this company?"

"Because their translation is accurate and the DVD are in high quality." JK wrote down the answer, secretly thought that it's half way point.

"What kind of Anime DVD you usually buy?"

"I usually buy Magical Girls Anime."

'Good, last question.' JK thought as she wrote it down. "Do you buy any Anime-related products?"

"Yes, sometimes I like to buy some soundtracks." Kaho answered after thinking for 1.5 seconds.

"Thank you for your co-operation." JK said as she left the seat. And she exchanged a glance with Iris, who had finished her Task 1 who Mokona-knows-who and prepared to go for the Task 2.

JK walked across the room, while she's trying to tell herself to calm down, and about 10 minutes until the whole exam is over. Then she sat in front of the Examiner 2. She looked up to see who is that person. Then she had to use all her will in order to stop herself to swear.

'E...Emerauld of Magic Knight Rayearth?! I'm not in a fanfic world for crying out loud!' JK thought in horror, even the former Pillar of Cephiro is a very nice princess. She looked at JK with a sincere smile. 'Hey JK, snapped out of it! This is a exam!'

"Good...good morning, Ms. Green. I have the information you want." JK stammered out.

JK finished the second part of the role play, which is reporting, without much trouble. Save for the fact that she was extremely nervous because it was Emerauld as the examiner. JK was sure that if the examiner is either:

a) Nuriko-sama from Fushigi Yuugi
- which is impossible, because Nuriko-sama was already *sniff* dead

b) Yousuke from Ai Tenshi Densetsu
- which won't be possible as well. Since we don't even know that he can speak English or not

c) Kagome from Inu Yasha
- which may be possible. Since her results are very good: always the Top 30 in the form

...she will be unconscious for the rest of the day.

"Thank you," Emerauld said as JK finished the last sentence of the role play. "That's fine. Please give me your form."

JK handed the form and sat at the back of the classroom to wait for Clara and Kathy to finish their role play. During the waiting time, she 'talked' with Iris with gesture language.

//Ya'know, I have a feeling of déja vu since I'm doing the first part of role play.// JK 'said'.

//Me too. It's like something bad is going to happen. But we are not the Magic Knights or Angels or Devils...except you, that's it.// Iris replied.

//Hey! I only hope it was not anything which would affect our exam...Say, we'll discuss our post-exam picnic tomorrow. Any suggestion for now? Melody suggested we can go for a 2-day camp.//

//I don't think our parents will let us go...And I think Kathy had finished. Well, here goes nothing.//

As Iris 'said', Kathy had finished her role play with Emerauld. Now the 4th Anime character came into the room with four pieces of paper, which contain the instruction for the discussion.

"You have two minutes to prepare for Part B. Do not make notes during the preparation or the discussion." A deep (also scary and creepy to JK) male voice said as he set the timer.

"NAKAGO!" JK shouted towards the evil shogun from Fushigi Yuugi.

Nakago cast a smirk towards JK's direction. Which make rashes appeared on JK's skin. JK wanted to throw him out to the highway right there and then. But for the sake of her English result, she sat down again and looked at the instruction.

2 minutes is a very short time. and the six minutes of discussion passed with a speed of a arrow. All of them let out a sign of relief as Nakago announced "Time is up. Stop your discussion now and give me the instruction." Even JK forgotten to kill her least favorite character because of the joy of freedom.

"YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH! I'M DONE WITH THIS *censored* EXAMINATION!! I'M FREE!!" JK exclaimed when they went to the gym for a drink. They celebrated their end of exam with ice tea (JK), sprite (Iris), coffee (Clara) and cream soda (Kathy). Just then, they saw a figure with Kaoru's (from Rurouni Kenshin) height running towards them.

"Ah oh. Here comes the Reality version of Momopii." JK said sarcastically.

"Who is 'Momopii', huh?" That figure came and hit JK with an English Dictionary on the head.

"Ittai...What's the big deal that you had to hit me, Carman! You just like Momoko! A Stupid, fat-face, clumsy, tiny and flat-chest crybaby! Only you don't have a great guy like You-chan!" JK yelled at her younger friend.

Carman chose to ignore her comment. "I bet you guys have finished your oral, right? And I can't believe who I met during my oral exam!"

"Don't tell me that the examiners for the Grade 8 were also some Anime characters..." Clara said with a sweat drop.

"You guys also?!" Carman exclaimed.

"Yep." Kathy answered. "We saw Ryouga, Mizuki-sensei, Emerauld and Nakago."

"Nakago? Oh congrats." Carman's words earned a punch from JK. "We have a Fushigi Yuugi character on our side too! But the one we've got was Yui! Her English is just excellent! Also one character from Ai Tenshi Densetsu, Card Captor Sakura and Magic Knight Rayearth again. It's Scarlet, Nakuru and Presea."

"Na...nakuru?" All the older girls sweat dropped. "But you've got Scarlet..." JK said a bit sadly. "I wanted to go back to the Grade 8 time too..."

Suddenly an noise of an alarm ringed through the whole school...


"Huh...what's the matter..." A sleepy JK said as she stood up from where she's been sitting, which was the chair in her room.

"Oh, that was only a dream..." JK rubbed her eyes and stretched herself. She's been using her History reference book as the pillow of her night. "what a scary one." Then she looked at her clock. "WHAT?! 5:45am ALREADY?! Wedding Peach is gonna start!" She exclaimed as she ran into the bathroom.

14 minutes later, JK was in her green school uniform and sat in front of the TV, waiting for the Yume miru Ai Tenshi to be heard from the TV. She sang along the song. And the episode that she would watch was episode 39. And she's counting the days to see when will episode 44, the episode, where *censored because of spoiler*, would be broadcast. Just then, the telephone rang.

"Who's calling this early?" JK muttered as she picked up the phone. "Oh, Iris? How did your revision go?"

"I think I'll be fine." The voice of her friend said. "But I have the strangest dream in my life."

"What dream?" JK asked while sweat dropping.

"It's when we're having our English oral. And..." Iris repeated her dream which made JK's face turned blue.

"I...I'll talk to you at school. Okay? See'ya." JK replied and hanged up. But later, Kathy and Clara also phoned her, telling her the same story.

And after the History / Chinese History / Biology exam, JK went to find Carman, who said that she have the same dream.

Is this dream a premonition of their future? They won't know until the Friday after next.
