Chapter 3 It's more than just a Video Game It's exercise for Geeks!
About two weeks has passed since the first day of the new school year. Dagger wanders around the hallways one afternoon, in search of her best friend. She spots him heading towards the auditorium and dashes to catch up with him. "Zidane!" She calls out. Zidane looks over and sees her running towards his direction. "Where are you going?" She asks him while somewhat recovering her breath.
"Um. Drama club" He answers, trying to have a decent excuse for where he is heading.
"Drama club?" She replies curiously, "I didn't hear anything about Drama club."
"Um. Well." he begins to studder.
"Zidane," She trustworthily tells him, "What ever it is you can tell me."
"You're right." He pulls her off into a secluded corner. "Um, you have to promise you won't tell anyone Ok?"
"I won't," She assures him.
"Well.Today."He starts to explain, ".is the first meeting of the Tantalus group."
"What!" She exclaims in astonishment, "You're a Tantalus!"
"Shhhh. You can't tell anyone ok?" He tells her, trying to keep his identity safe.
"I promise."
"Alright, I'll see you later then."
"Ok bye."
"Bye." He waves good-bye to his best friend and resumes his route. When he finally arrives at the auditorium, he spots only one of the members sitting among a cluster of chairs on the dark stage.
"Hey Marcus." He greets while running in between the rows of auditorium seats. "Am I actually early for once?"
"Nah" Marcus answers back. "Ruby just had to take care of something."
Then, the two arrivals see the other members of the their group entering the auditorium. "That is thah last time I'm getting yah two out of trouble!" They hear a feminine voice yell.
"Come on Ruby" They also hear Cinna's voice say. "It wasn't that bad."
"YAH BOTH SNEACKED INTO THE GIRL'S BATHROOM!!!!" She yells at them, "YER LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THE PRINCIPAL YAH WERE LOOKING FOR ME!!!!!"
"Hey Ruby!" Zidane greets, "How it going?"
"Oh just fine hun." She sweetly replies, "Until this afternoon." Blank and Cinna stand in fearful silence.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, lets get started." Marcus says. The students climb up upon the stage and take seats around their leader. "So when you guys want the show this year?" Marcus asks them.
"I don't want to football again." Ruby tells them.
"Of course not." Marcus tells her, "We did that last year."
"What about some at some sort of dance?" Zidane suggests to the group.
"Then we can't to prom because there won't be any freshmen." Blank comments to his friend's suggestion.
"Valentine's Day Dance!" Ruby exclaims.
"Nah, too mushy." Cinna replies, only to feel a smack on his shoulder. "Oww!!" He cries in exaggerated pain.
"Perhaps Homecoming?" Marcus suggests.
"But that's too soon." Blank explains, "We won't have enough time to weed out the freshies."
"I already a got a couple of candidates." Zidane tells them.
"Already!!"
"Yeah this one girl named Eiko Carol, and."
"Isn't she Dagger's friend?" Marcus asks.
"Yeah"
"She's sweet" Ruby comments, "We should pick her!"
"And this little black mage named Vivi." Zidane continues.
"You mean that kid that trips over everyone?" Cinna asks.
"Yeah" Zidane replies.
"I dunno."Blank says.
"Just as a possibility."
"Alright, as a possibility." Marcus agrees. "Ok, now that we got our candidates, what about our show?"
"Hmmm.."The three sophomores give evil grins to the two older members.
"No way," Marcus angrily replies to them. "We're not doing that!"
"Come on, it's perfect!" Zidane tells him.
"Its music wouldn't be bad for the show." Blank comments.
"And you play it too!" Cinna points out also to their older friend.
"Yeah but I'm not DDR obsessed like the three of you are!" Marcus exclaims to them.
"What's DDR?" Ruby asks the group.
"Dance Dance Revolution." Marcus answers, "A game these maniacs play all the time at the arcade."
"Hey, It's more than just a video game," Zidane tells him, "It's exercise for geeks!"
"Whatever"
"Well Aye thinks it's a great idea." Ruby says.
"Fine," Marcus finally agrees.
"Yeah!!" The three sophomores exclaim, almost jumping in the air.
* Woah, this gotta be the longest chapter I've ever written. Of course there's a lot of dialog in this chapter. What do you think? Did I seem too overly obsessed with DDR? (Personally I think that's going to happen in the next chapter) Please Review! *
