Konichiwa Mina-san! Hardy-har-har I'm back with Chapter 2! (Evil grin
appears on face) I don't have much to say right now, but who wants to read
the author's note anyway? The public deserves the story! So the story I
will give you!
It was about 15 minutes to 8:00 at the Mesablanca lodge; Mac and Kaori were sitting in the lodge, waiting for the rest of the boarders to arrive. He knew they would be later, and he also knew Rahzel would throw a fit. It happened at every single course, and he knew today would be no different.
Kaori looked over at Mac and into his eyes. "Mac, who do you think will be the last one to arrive this time?" She asked. Mac noticed her English was slowly progressing; he remembered last year when they arrived and they were a part of the original SSX league. Her English was very broken and it was hard to understand most things she was saying, but now it was a whole lot better.
Mac shrugged and rubbed his brow. "Well, it used to be Luther, but lately JP has dragged him in on time. Rahzel threatened Psymon that if he was late again he would tell the audience about his cravings for Zoe." Mac sighed and folded his arms behind his head. "It's hard to say now. But I'm guessing it'll be Eddie. He's usually one of the later ones to arrive.
Kaori smiled at him and stroked one of her short pigtails. "Yes, that is a good guess. But I'm thinking that it will Brodi."
"Gee, Kaori. You have little faith in your 'friend.' How do you figure?" he asked, while looking at the entrance, waiting for another boarder to walk in.
"He's been doing a little more meditating than usual. I think he will be late." She said as she laid her hands on the table, tapping her index finger. Mac was staring at her, hoping she wouldn't notice him. 'She's so pretty.' Mac thought. 'If only I could get the courage to ask her out.' Click Mac and Kaori's attention was drawn to the doorway where Brodi stood, showing off his peaceful grin. Mac smirked at Kaori.
"So, what was that you were saying, Kaori?" he asked.
"Ok, ok. I will go with you and choose Eddie as well." She said as Brodi walked up to their table and sat down. "Konichiwa, Brodi-Chan!" She squeaked as she cheerfully welcomed her friend.
"Good evening, friends." Brodi replied as he looked at Kaori and then at Mac. "You two the only ones here?" he asked, searching the room for anyone else that might be hiding in the whereabouts.
Mac nodded and stretched a little from his cramped position. "Yeah, we're guessing who'll be the last one to come in and piss Rahzel off." Kaori glared at him. 'Oops' he thought. He forgot that Kaori didn't like any cussing or "inappropriate" language around her. "I mean, uh, tick." He corrected himself; Kaori smiled to show that she accepted his apology.
"Well, I think everyone will be on time today, my charma was very good today." Brodi stated as he reached up and took off his sunglasses; he placed them safely in his pocket. "Except for maybe one, I had a hard time meditating, so something is sure to go wrong."
"Something always goes wrong." Mac added. More and more boarders were arriving now, as the clock showed 7:53. Psymon and Luther were among them, but it surprised Mac that Luther wasn't with JP. 'How odd.' He thought to himself. Luther was always by JP's side, making sure no one harmed him in any way. His attention was shattered away from Luther when Brodi slightly shook the table when he got up. Mac looked over at the surfer and saw that Elise was joining their table. Mac immediately stood up strait, now that another woman was at the table. He tried to act polite around Kaori as well, but Mac always tried to impress her somehow by "trying" to act cool. Most of the time, he blew it and acted like a total loser. She seemed to like it when Mac was himself so he was making a huge effort to do so. Brodi pulled the chair out for Elise, and she muttered a thank-you as Brodi sat back down.
It was 8:00 sharp now; and Eddie just walked in. "Ha, I told you Kaori! Eddie is the last one!" he said proudly as he playfully yet gently tugged one of her brown pigtails. Kaori laughed and shooed his hand off of her hair.
"Wait a minute." Brodi said as his eyes trailed off and looked around at the boarders and started counting. "Two, four, six, eight, ten, eleven. We're missing one person."
They searched through the faces and spotted an empty chair next to Luther, which was an automatic answer. "JP." Elise said calmly as Brodi nodded in agreement.
"Dude, that ain't like Frenchy to be late." Mac said to the others around him. Rahzel walked in the room and stood before the chattering boarders. He looked extremely annoyed. "Wow, I'd hate to be him right now. He better show up like right now if he doesn't want to get his butt chewed off." Brodi, Kaori, and Elise nodded in unison. Elise felt a little sorry for him; she never really knew JP so she had no reason to hate him. Even though both were SSX veterans, they usually kept their distances. Still, after the incident this morning, she hoped Rahzel wouldn't be too hard on him. Even though she knew he would be, she really hoped he wasn't, for JP's sake.
Rahzel smiled at the boarders. 'Well,' he thought. 'Luther and Psymon are here, all is well.' He smiled, now he wouldn't have to yell at anyone. "Well, I'm glad everyone is on time!"
Moby raised his hand like an elementary student would, an evil grin planted on his pierced face. "Moby," Rahzel sighed in frustration. "Go piss, just hurry up."
"Can I go with?" Zoe pleaded as she gave a pinch to Moby's butt.
A little surprised, Moby nervously laughed and dropped his arm back down to his side. "No, no! I don't need to take a leak, mate! It's just that if you haven't noticed yet, out spoiled pretty boy hasn't showed up yet."
Rahzel gave him a puzzled look and noticed as well that the Frenchman wasn't among them. Rahzel sighed and crossed his arms. "Thanks Moby, you brightened up my day already."
"Any day, mate, that's what Moby's here for!" he called cheerfully from the back of the room.
"Well, I knew it was too good to be true anyway, having everyone here together." He said and smoothed out his shirt. "Well, you know the drill. When he comes in I'll give it to him." The boarders exchanged smirks and snickers as they looked at one another. JP was a first to be late and newbies always got hit the hardest. "Beep, Beep! Calm down and back the truck up guys! The SSX board wants us to do a rather 'unique' publicity stunt." Groans and sighs were all present now as each boarder vigorously tried to keep an open mind about Rahzel's speech.
Mac leaned over and whispered in Kaori's ear. "I don't like how he said 'unique.'" She nodded, she seemed a bit nervous about whatever Rahzel was going to tell them. Hell, they all were.
"I know, I know! I'm not crazy for this idea either, but it will give the media something to chat about." Rahzel said, trying to calm down the boarders.
"Just tell us what hell we need to go through, damnit!" Psymon spat as he slammed his fists down on the table.
"Fine! They want each of you to be a Secret Santa for another fellow boarder."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!"
Hehehe, that's the end of my beautiful chapter 2. It was a little shorter but it's late now and I have to go sleepy. **zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz** Night night!
