Chapter Eight: Oh My God
"This is going to be a looong weekend" commented Elizabeth
The other girls nodded dumbly. A chubby woman and a young priest got onto the bus.
"I'm Mrs Cotonwier, welcome to your confirmation retreat! Some ground rules; Stay on the property, the neighbor is what one would call 'gun happy'" At this statement the five girls, Duo and Wufei all looked pointedly at Heero. Heero just glared a hole in the bus seat and remained still. "Do not go through the tunnel unless an adult is present. Next, at eleven everyone must be in thier rooms with the lights out. The other rules will be established as we go along." the woman nudged the preist with her elbow.
"HI! I'm Stanley!" He said in an overly enthusiastic manner.
"Well every one off the bus and into the building!" said Mrs Cotonwier. She promptly waddled off the bus and into the building, Stanley following her trying to restrain his easy gait so he would not go ahead of her. The soon to be confirmees filed off the bus carrying all thier stuff, except for Rori who tripped on a penny and tumbled down the stairs, face firmly planted on the concrete.
"Ow." Rori grumbled as her friends tried not to collapse with laughter. Nobody seemed very surprised by Rori's fall however, they were used to her clutziness. They went into the retreat house and were blinded by the hospital-like lighting. Several people walked into walls due to thier blindness (needless to say Rori was one of these, but wheter from blindness or lack of concentration was up for debate) They walked into a large room with many windows and sat thier stuff in a pile.
A new woman came forward and greeted them, "Hi! I'm Miss Erin. Now every body take a seat." she gestured to a large circle of chairs.
The teens walked to the chairs with a noticed lack of energy. They each plopped into a chair, Heero and Duo who are still not solid float behind Loki and Danni. Wufei sat next to Rori, though not from choice. 'whatever unjust fiend put me here is going to pay dearly' he thought. "OK! Now we're going to play a game called Love Thy Neighbor. Everyone, excluding Miss Erin, groaned. The rules of the game were explained and off they went.
((Ok I'm not gonna give everyone who shows up in this game a sentence explaining them, just a name. I hope it doesn't get too confusing.))
Chelsea, another snobby girl, was up first. She walked up to another snob named Kelly and asked "Do you love your neighbor?"
"No, I don't like anime fans." Kelly knew very well that Loki, Danni, Lexi, Elizabeth and Rori were anime freaks. The girls quickly switched seat as was in the rules and the last one left standing was Lexi.
Lexi walked up to Wufei, "Do you love your neighbor?"
"No, I don't like women" the chinamen replied. The females glared at him and switched seats. The game continued and there was much seat changing.
Finally it came to Kyle asking Mike "Do you love your neighbor?"
"No, I don't like people." was his response.
Everyone got up and ran, in the cahos Duo suddenly became solid. Loki paniced when she saw Duo become real, she had an idea and quickly executed it. She grabbed Duo's braid and yanked the hairband off. Duo's brown hair sprang loose. "HEY!" protested Duo
"You have to pretend your a girl!" she whispered.
"Do I have to?" he whinned
"You have no choice."
Meanwhile Rori grabbed the hairband out of Wufei's hair, seeing that Loki's plan was reasonable.
"Why'd you do that!" he whispered angrily "My father was the one who put my hair up! It would've lasted another decade but no, now I'll have to fix my hair every day! STUPID WOMAN!"
Rori just glowered at him than ran to a seat. Wufei was left standing when everyone else had gotten a seat. He quickly walked up to Danni, who was sitting next to Rori. "Do you love your neighbor?" he asked quickly, hoping to get this over with soon.
"No, I don't like overly optimistic people. Lexi that means you!"
By all appearences many of the people in the room had no idea what overly optimistic was (morons) But Miss Erin, Lexi, Duo and Loki got up and switched seats. Loki really wasn't overly optimistic, she was dragged after Duo. The game ended with Elizabeth asking Loki do you love your neighbor, Loki replied; "No, I don't like pacifists" Only Danni Lexi Rori and Kyle knew that Loki simply hated Relena and her ways, everyone else looked at her like she was a terrorist.
"Ok... Now on to the activities!" said Miss Erin
The said activities were boring religon oriented and there's no reason to go into detail. They were dismissed at 10:00 and were allowed to do whatever they pleased for the hour till bedtime.
Each room had two bunkbeds (for those who can't do math that's four beds. just kidding) Loki, Rori, Duo and Wufei, the guys still pretending to be girls, were in one room. Lexi, Elizabeth, Danni, and a nice girl named Alicia were in the room next to them. Each room also had a small desk and a shelf. Just so you know the shelf is placed right next to the door, remember that, it comes into play later!
Loki Rori Danni and Duo ran throught the halls like maniacs, laughing maniaclly all the while. Heero and Wufei were dragged after Danni and Rori, they did not seem happy about this. Lexi and Elizabeth were playing a nice game of chess durring which they failed to notice Quatre and Trowa were appearing behind them. About halfway through the game Elizabeth had Lexi cornered, there was nothing she could do. Lexi's brow furrowed as she pondered what to do next. Elizabeth was smiling victoriously. The others had settled around them and were watching the match intently. "Move your knight." suggested Trowa.
Lexi's face brightened, "Thanks for the idea Trowa!" she moved her knight but than realized what she had said, "TROWA?!"
"What?" he asked.
"When did you get here?!"
"About the same time as Quatre." He replied. The girls quickly looked at Elizabeth, and saw Quatre floating behind her. Quatre waved.
"Lights out! Everyone in your rooms!" called Miss Erin.
Everyone said good night and went to thier rooms.
Room 1----
"I got top bunk!" Loki crowed and started to scramble up the ladder.
"Oh no you don't!" cried Duo leaping onto the bunk before Loki could get up there.
"Meanie!"
Wufei sat on the bottom bunk of the other bed. "Uh, can't you take the top bunk? asked Rori, knowing very well if that she was on the top bunk she would probably fall off in the middle of the night and break her neck.
"No." Wufei replied icily. Rori glared daggers at him. Loki was still hanging on the later glaring at Duo, who had begun the long task of braiding his hair. The ladder groaned under Loki's weight, not that Loki's to terribly heavy its just that the ladder was something bought from the Dollar Store and was not fit for people who weighed more than 40 pounds to hang on it for long periods of time. The ladder suddenly snapped sending Loki crashing to the floor. Duo looked up from his braiding. Wufei woke up from his shortlived meditation. Rori paused her drawing and glanced at Loki. Little chibi Death Scythes were floating around her head in a haphazard manner.
Room 2----
CRASH
"What d' ya suppose that was?" asked Lexi
"Wufei is probably trying to kill one or all of the others" Danni replied.
"Seems very likely." Said Elizabeth. Alicia was already asleep so was not disturbed by the loud noise or odd remarks.
Everyone soon fell asleep.
---The Next Morning (Dun Dun Dun!!)
All was quiet in the halls and the hall moniter was looking around suspisciously for someone breaking the rules. Her wristwatch started to beep. 'Damn!' now she couldn't pester the teens who left for a midnight visit to the loo((no I'm not Brittish I just think 'loo' is much more interesting to say than 'bathroom')). Her parinoid mind thought they were going in there to converse with friends. She sighed and found some recompense in the thought of tormenting more delinquents the next night. She went from up and down the hall opening doors and barking at the teenagers to get up. She opened one door and found one girl sleeping on the floor, it looked like she had fallen out of her bunk in the night and just went back to sleep, and a broken ladder. "UP!" she barked. The girl leapt into wakefulness and tried to get up, her head banged against the bottom of another bunk and she cursed. The hall moniter continued to wake everyone.
Wufei imeaditly woke up and hoped from his bed. He was quite surprised when he landed on Rori, who had gone back to sleep seconds after banging her head. His foot landed on her knee. Now since this happened Rori's foot lashed out due to reflex and kicked Wufei in a very delicate area. Lexi Danni and Elizabeth walked into the room and saw Wufei on his bed, doubled over in pain, Rori happily sleeping on the floor, Loki snoring loudly, and Duo chewing on his braid as he slept.
