'Sup? K, I'd like to thank Kawaii-Chibi-Neko and Angelbrite for reviewing- thank you so much! Now for the fifth chappie, I decided Joey should stay friendly.

*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*

*Breakfast the next morning.*

Onni: Hey Joey, are you mad 'cause I beat you yesterday?

Joey: Dude, I told you, no. I've been beat by jerks and I've been by one that called me a puppy, but sure I lost my temper, but most importantly, I got beat by best bud there and here, but I can never be mad.

Onni: So we're still buds?

Joey: Yep.

A voice: Spearitt!

Onni: Hold on a sec, Joe, Captain McIntosh's calling me. *goes to CM (Captain McIntosh)* Yes, sir?

CM: Introduce me to the new cadet.

Onni: Sir, yes, sir! *walks back to Joey* Dude, CM wants to meet you.

Onni: Captain, this Cadet Wheeler, sir. (to Joey in a whisper) Salute!

Joey: Oh, yeah- *salutes*

CM: From what Commander Drake told me, I thought you'd be a wimp. I guess not!

Joey: *in his mind* I don't like him.

CM: You definitely seem like a troublemaker. So, before you can cause trouble I'm giving you detention.

Onni: Captain McIntosh, sir, isn't that a little harsh?

CM: Stay out of this, Spearitt. *back to Joey* I decided to write you up for extra obstacle course time *takes out a notepad and scribble something down* So, it looks like you're not going be having dinner for a week! *hands Joey a 'Misbehaving Cadet' slip* I'd better not see you at dinner this week! Understood!?

Joey: *salutes* Sir, yes, sir!

*Joey walks back to his table*

Joey: He's cold, man. Why's he hired?

Onni: It's a rumor, but everyone says that Captain M.'s dad was gonna sue Commander Drake if he didn't hire Captain M.

Joey: Does Captain M. treat all new cadets this why?

Onni: No, only the really tall, tough-looking ones. (a/n: FYI- Onni's not exactly tall and tough-looking. He has an innocent face [not as innocent as Ryou's] and chocolate brown hair)

Joey: Cold.

Onni: Tell me about it.

(War history class)

War History teacher (Mr. Travis): In 1861, the Civil War began. Does anyone know why?

*Joey raises his hand*

Mr. Travis: Yes, Cadet Wheeler.

Joey: It had to do with slavery and Honest Abe. and, uh..

Mr. Travis: You're on the right track; does anyone else know?

*a girl raises her hand*

Mr. Travis: Yes, Miss Thomas?

Miss Thomas (a.k.a. Ciara): Mainly slavery. The north opposed of it and the south agreed with it. Their differences caused this war- also known as the War Between the States.

Mr. Travis: That is absolutely correct. I couldn't have said it better myself. *back to teaching* Now the armies..

Joey: *in his mind* Wow, she's smart and pretty. I hope she's single!

*THE OBSTACLE COURSE.* (scary music plays)

Some person: One. two. *blows whistle*

CM: RUN THROUGH THE TIRES! FASTER, CARGAL! EXCELLENT, GARCIA! PICK YOUR LEGS UP, PEOPLE! SPEARITT, SHOW THE CADET HOW IT'S DONE!

Joey: I can't believe I have to do this all week extra time!

Onni: (a little bit ahead of Joey) Better get used to it! Captain M. is strict! If you're still up after curfew, he gives you detention.

Joey: What a ruthless guy. (gasps for breath)

(Joey stops to rest)

CM: MOVE IT, WHEELER!

(Joey starts running again)

Joey: Uhh, I can't go down.

Onni: (grabs the rope) Why not?

Joey: I've never done this before. What if I fall?

Onni: It's easy watch me.

(Onni goes down, down, down)

Onni: Now grab the rope and do what I did.

Joey: (grasps the rope) Okay.

(halfway there and Joey falls on his back)

Joey: OW! I can't believe I'm gonna have to do this! Ow, my back.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Half of me: Poor Joey, that's all I can say.

The other half of me: I'm so ruthless and mean! How can I torture him this way?

Half of me: As earned as deserved- he's an idiot and he got an idiot's punishment.

The other half of me: He didn't earn or deserve it!

REVIEW!
