The Platform Surfers
Chapter 11:
Interlude: Now We're Onto Something
"Ran!" She looked back, and it was Maron, catching up to her. It was 9 p.m., an hour after the gymnastics competition ended. Emiko was following behind.
"Oh, it's you, Maron, Emiko," she said, turning to them. She was still wearing her Momokuri jacket, her backpack, and drinking a tall water bottle. "What's up?"
"Um...thank you for saving our skins, Ran. We owe you one."
Ran blushed, and laughed dryly. "Actually, you already did..." She was pointing to the jacket she was wearing.
"No, we meant two, Ran-senpai," said Emiko, as she gave her a big hug. And then the rest of the team arrived. "We want to thank you in a special way."
"Eh...what's that?" she said, lacking conviction, a sweatdrop coming down her head. "I wanna know what it is."
And suddenly, the team started to sing "Aitsu," much to Ran's surprise, and then yelled, "Thank you so much, Ran Kotobuki-sama~~~~~~~! Yay~~~!" And then they continued to toss Ran in the air, making her a bit dizzy.
"Okay, kids, put Kotobuki-san down," directed Maron, and they did, but they actually dropped her, making her fall on her tush.
"Uh~~~~~~..." moaned Ran, dizzy. A few seconds later, she got back up.
"Ran!" said Mitsuki, running to the congregation. "I wanna thank you too!"
"Eh? You as well?" She was at a loss for words.
"Ran...I...it's because of you that I can write better songs. Because of you, I have the energy to become better, better than I am right now. You've shown that I can reach my full potential when it comes to music. I won't forget you. I will write a song dedicated to your accomplishments. There will never be another person like you. Thank you. Here's a special medal for you." She handed Ran a gold medal from the gymnastics competition. Apparently, there was an extra one made. Talk about coincidence. In addition, she gave her a ribbon, clubs, a ball, some sticks, and a hoop, as well as a small UFO catcher doll of Maron in her gymnastics uniform. Ran put them all in her backpack.
"Why...Mitsuki, I...I'm grateful!" Tears were coming out of Ran's eyes as she put the medal on. All three hugged, as the team went "Awwwww..." in melancholy sympathy.
"Goodbye, Ran," said Mitsuki and Maron. "Stay happy!"
At that point, Ran flashed a victory pose (which looked fashionably titillating), winked and said in a genki pitch, "Ran Kotobuki-sama, the Queen of the GALS, is always happy! Because I aim to please! Don't forget that! Bye-bye~~~~~!!!"
"Maron," said a voice behind her.
"Chiaki!" shouted Maron in surprise, as he came to her, hugged her, and shared a long kiss.
"Yay~~~~!" said the others, as they watched Ran leave with a spring in her step.
********
'Dayum,' contemplated Ran. 'It feels as if I've won at the Olympics. And I haven't qualified for the Japan National Athletics team yet...hmmm...'
"There you are!" said Miyu with the others.
"Ran~~~!" shouted the rest of Miyu's cohorts, waving at her.
"You guys!" Ran shouted, running over to them. "How are you?"
"Listen, Kotobuki, you have some explaining to do," said Mami.
"Oh really?" she responded, wearing a sheepish/naïve gesture.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET OVER THERE, TOSSING IN THE AIR!!? I WANTED TO BE THERE~~~~!" she cried, waving her arms yet again.
"Yeah, and how come you, Miyu, Aya, and those other two folks recorded a song, and Tatsuki, Rei, Naoki, Sayo, and me had no say?" asked Yuuya quizzically.
"Um...I can explain," she stammered ponderously.
"You don't have to," said Rei, looking into the distance like a shepherd. "What you did was right, and we have no objections, to tell the truth. Good job, Ran."
"Oto...hata?" Ran blinked.
"How did you get this jacket?" Aya said, looking at it.
"I bought it," she proudly boasted. Taizou said an aside to Aya, saying, "She didn't...she stole it..."
"YOU STOLE THAT JACKET?" exclaimed Aya. Suddenly, all eyes were on Ran.
"What are you saying? Look," exclaimed Ran, a bit irked, "I got this from my acquaintances, if I may call them that, at no cost. Ha, ha, ha, ha, hah!!!" she finished, in a mock laugh.
"It looks good on you, though," said Tatsuki.
"Eh? Tatsukichi?"
"Yay! My older sister's now a rhythmic gymnast~~!" said Sayo, dancing a little jig, much to Ran's discontent. "You have grace and sophistication, girlfriend!"
"Wha...Girlfriend!?"
"Anyway," said Yuuya in a sly tone, "What's in that backpack~~~?"
"Um...nothing, really! Nothing!" And then her hoop popped out, causing her to yelp a bit in panic.
"Oh...a hoop! Lu~~~~cky~~~~!"
"SHUT UP~~~!" Ran said in embarrassment. "It's not like I can do stunts with this!"
"Well, show us, Ran," said Yamato.
Ran hesitantly did, and when she finished a minute later, their jaws dropped, eyes bulged. "Wha~~t?" she said with a bored expression.
"Ran-senpai...that...was good..." said Masato and Naoki, holding up the "Perfect 10" signs that they bought from the event.
"You guys...I think we should go home," said Ran. "It's getting late."
"Understood," the others said, heaving a sigh of submission. Ran grinned.
********
When Ran came to her room, she put down her stuff, and (for the first time in her life, okay, maybe not), blacked out a bit and fainted onto her bed. The scent of her room was like a huge breath of fresh, heavenly air, and it had no repercussions. At least she couldn't sense any. "Ah~~~~~, what a night..." she sighed. She was about to take a power nap, when...
"Ran, how are you?" asked Satsuki, walking into her room. She was wearing something...interesting...At that point, Ran jumped out of her bed as if her pants were on fire.
"S,,,SATSUKI!? Where in the world did you get that lingerie thingy!?"
"I bought it."
Ran saw her piggy bank, and it was empty. "No...NO YOU DIDN'T, DID YOU!?"
"I...did."
"WAAAAAAAHHHH!? You freakin' ass bastard bitch! That was my fuckin' savings you took! Fu~~~~ck!" she cried, her head exploding, blood rushing to her cheeks. "Why the hell did you have to do that!? My savings~~~~~!!!" She was about to land some sweltering blows on poor Satsuki, when the door opened. It was Yamato, and he caught them in a suggestively compromising position.
"Am I interrupting something? Cat fight as usual?" he said nonchalantly.
"Aniki~~~! Satsuki took my savings~~!" Ran whined with a pout. The childish Ran had returned.
"Okay, Ran, act your age!"
"I am~~~! Do you want me to beat your ass, aniki!?"
"Fine. But first, dinner is going on downstairs."
"We'll be there," the girls both said.
"By the way, Satsuki, you look more horny than my younger sister. Much more horny. I feel like taking that off you now, and...you know..." He made a suggestive, lecherous gesture, licking his lips. Satsuki giggled hysterically, and slowly began to take it off like a strip-teaser, but Ran, blushing in anger, slammed the door shut.
"Satsuki, go change into some better clothes," said Ran. "You look like you want to get AIDS right now. Go."
"Will do!" she said cheerfully, as she went into the shower.
"...hentai yaro baka aniki..." Ran muttered to herself.
