Another chapter. The fic is really picking up now. Hope y'all enjoy. And
yes, I realise that it should have been OOC, or maybe it's OCO, or CCC,
or...aw, who cares? Out-of-Characterness, okay? (Sheesh. I'll never get
these codes right. -___-;)
Anywho, enjoy! ^_______^
##########################################################################
The next morning Kurry awoke to the patter of a soft spring rain against her window. Curling up, she turned towards the glass and just watched the droplets cascade down the window, until her alarm rang. As she stretched, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of excitement. Something was going to happen today, she could feel it.
Dressing quickly, she dashed next door. Knocking rapidly, she entered without waiting for a reply. (The girls were such good friends that they often went into each others' rooms to wake them.)
'Kitty!' Kurry squealed, clapping sharply. ''C'mon, get up! Something's gonna happen!'
Kitty yawned tiredly. 'Wha?'
'I dunno! Get up, it's a beautiful day!' She threw the curtains wide.
Kitty cocked an eyebrow. 'Kurry, it's raining.'
'So? It's still beautiful!'
Kitty shook her head in confusion. 'I'll never understand you, girl,' she muttered, climbing sleepily out of bed.
Kat came in a minute later, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. 'Are we ready for breakfast yet? Whose turn is it?'
'Yours, I believe,' Kitty giggled.
'Darn.'
After breakfast, courtesy of Kat, the three girls prepared for morning classes. Kurry left Kitty and Kat so they could change into their gis, and went off to writing.
'Hey Seren,' Kurry high-fived her friend as she sat down.
'Hiya. Are you still coming on Sunday?' Seren asked.
'Of course. What time?'
The two girls made their plans, then paid attention as the teacher started them on verb construction.
Kurry had dance next. Grinning as she walked to the room, she met up with an exhausted Kitty and Kat.
'Roundhouse kick again?' Kurry asked sympathetically.
'Yeah, that and squats,' Kat grimaced, stretching.
The girls entered the dance room and sat on the floor while their teacher got organised. Mrs. Calaban was looking confused about a sheaf of papers on her desk. The girls began to whisper in wonder as she came around her desk carrying the sheets.
'Well, girls, I have exciting news. We've been invited to enter a dance competition at Centennial Stadium. It's at the end of May, next month, and it's for a program that will fund our school's facilities. I'll post this,' she waved the sheet at them, 'tonight and you can check it out then. But it appears,' she looked down her nose at another sheet, 'that our brother school across the river has also been invited and is suggesting that we join forces to make the show.'
One girl raised her hand. 'How so? Like what do they do?'
The teacher looked unsure. She removed her glasses and peered at the paper. 'Apparently, they sing, we dance, that's the deal. Their program is a bit different however. More modern.' She didn't look like she approved. 'They do say that they'll provide the facilities if we want to ship over there.' Mrs. Calaban leaned on a music stand. 'Well, this is a group thing. Give me your thoughts.'
The girls started to murmur to each other, a low hum that filled the room. Kurry was thinking hard. Almost unconsciously, she found herself leaping up and dashing to the front of the room. Bowing neatly out of respect to Mrs. Calaban, Kurry turned to the class.
'Yo!' she called. Everyone quieted. Kurry took a deep breath and spoke into the silence.
'Er, hi. I know it's not really my place to say anything, but think for a minute. If we did this, and did it well, it could open new opportunities for us. It's talking about funding our school. That's extra money in our programs. And working with guys would be a new experience too.' When some of the girls still looked unsure, she added, 'Well, maybe we could have a vote.' And with that Kurry sat down again.
'Good idea Kurry. How does this sound? We'll think about it through this class and before the bell we'll vote. Howzat?' Mrs. Calaban asked. The girls all nodded their consent and dispersed to work on their various routines.
Kurry, Kitty, Kat and Andraaia gathered in a corner to discuss the issue at hand.
'I think it could be fun,' said Andraaia. 'D'you think if we go I could come and help you with the show?'
'Of course,' Kitty replied. 'It'll be an adventure.'
Angela, one of the other dancers, came over just then.
'My group had a thought. We asked the teacher if some of us could stay, 'cause we just started a new unit in art and don't want to postpone it. She says that those who want to go can go, and those who want to stay will be put into the other class. She says we can wing it from there. So I guess when we vote we'll see who goes.' She grinned at them and whispered conspiratorially, 'I hope you have fun.' Then she wandered back to her clan.
Kurry pumped her fist. 'YES!'
Kat and Kitty high-fived and Andraaia clapped excitedly. 'Yay! So it kinda doesn't matter what the vote is now, it'll just say who goes or not!'
Very excited now, the girls went through their routines like wildfire and ten minutes before the bell they regathered, eagerly awaiting the vote.
Mrs. Calaban chuckled. 'Y'all are really excited about this, aren't you?'
Everyone nodded, even those who did not want to go. Having their very own girls in this competition was enough to excite them.
'Well, you know if we do this, we'll have to work extra hard. We'll show those guys we've got what it takes, eh?'
'YEAH!!'
'Okay, all in favour of going?'
Hands rose.
'All in favour of staying?'
More hands rose.
Mrs. Calaban took count. 'Alright,' she said, smiling, 'I will contact our brother school and make plans. You will be duly notified. Those that want to go will go, so have no fear of that. The bell is about to ring. Have a good day.'
BRRRRIINNGGG!
Ecstatic, Kurry abruptly jumped up and down, hugged Kitty and Kat and dashed out of the room. 'C'mon! We gotta tell Isis!' The other two grinned at each other and ran after her.
When the girls arrived at the pizza parlour, Kurry burst in the door. 'ISIS!' she hollered, since almost no-one was there.
Isis came hurrying out of the kitchen. 'Oy! What's all the hullabaloo about?'
'There's a dance competition coming up!' Kitty squealed.
'And we're entering!' Kat added, beaming.
'And it's gonna be so Much FUN!' Kurry finished, hopping up and down on one foot.
'w00t! Awesome! That's great for you!' Isis exclaimed.
'Yeah! We are sooooooo excited!' Kitty sighed and flopped into an empty booth. 'So how's Yami?'
Isis blushed. 'Well enough I guess. He said he enjoyed lunch yesterday.'
Kurry cocked an eyebrow. 'You guess?'
'Hmm? Oh, no, I meant, he's fine, but I haven't spoken to him since yesterday. We only ever see each other at lunch,' Isis explained.
'Ah.'
Right on cue, the chime went off and Yami walked in. He stopped short as all the girls turned and stared at him. 'Er...did I miss something?'
'No,' Kurry laughed. 'Hey Isis, you still got that old stereo around here somewhere? I feel like dancing.'
'Yeah, it's in the back. I'll get it though. Joe only lets me and him back there.' She winked at Yami and sauntered out.
Noticing how Yami flushed, Kitty sidled up and poked him. 'Lemme guess. A certain pizzeria owner caught you and a certain Egyptian gal making out?' she teased.
Yami went beet red. 'More or less,' he admitted. Kitty chuckled.
Isis hauled an old model boom box onto the counter. 'Whadda ya in the mood for?' she asked, grinning.
'Medium beat. You got anyfink good?' Kurry replied.
Isis just smirked. 'You got the moves, I got the beat.'
Isis was known for her immense CD collection. She opened a drawer full of CDs and Kat oohed and ahhed as Isis searched for a CD. 'This is only half of it,' Isis informed her, removing a disk and sliding the drawer shut. Popping the disk in, Isis hit play.
Almost reflexively, Kurry, Kitty and Kat moved into formation; Kurry in front and the other two flanking her. Isis joined them a second later, tossing a spoon to Kurry. In time to the music, the girls began to clap and sway side to side. Isis started on the words, lip-syncing.
"Every time you're near baby,
I get kinda crazy in my path for you,
I don't know what to do,
And oh baby,
I get kinda shaky when they mention you,
I just lose my cool.
My friends tell me, something has come over me,
And I think I know what it is,
I think I'm in love."
The other three joined in the chorus. Yami settled himself in a chair and watched, wide-eyed and grinning in amazement.
"Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been doing silly things when it comes to you,
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you."
Kurry mouthed the second verse, using the spoon as a makeshift mike. (She really couldn't sing worth a darn, but she had fun lip-syncing. XD) Turning in a slow circle, she grinned through her song at her friends, who were laughing and giggling in amusement. Yami was clapping along with them.
"Just the other night baby,
I saw you hangin'; you were with your crew,
I was with mine too.
You took me by surprise,
When you turned and looked me in my eyes,
Oh you really blew my mind.
I don't know what's gotten into me,
But I kinda think I know what it is,
I think I'm in love.
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been doing silly things when it comes to you,
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you.
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you."
Isis was looking right at Yami as she sang. Yami was blushing his head off. Kurry nudged Isis, who also blushed. Kat moved between the two to sing the bridge.
"Something strange has come over me,
Got me going out of my mind,
Never met a guy like you before,
You make me feel special inside,
I think I'm in love."
Kitty raised her eyebrows at her sister. Since when did Kat sing?
"Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been doing silly things when it comes to you,
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you.
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been doing silly things when it comes to you,
Boy I think that I'm in love with you,
I've been telling all my friends what I feel for you."
The girls burst out laughing as the song faded. Yami applauded and caught Isis by the waist. 'That was really cool, koi!' he exclaimed.
'Awww!' teased Kitty and Kurry in unison.
'Oh sheddup!' Isis reprimanded jokingly.
They all went into hysterics again.
Calming down, Kurry said, 'Oy, that was fun. Can we eat now?'
Isis nodded. 'Sure. It should be ready by now.' She went into the back again.
As they ate, the girls filled Yami in on the competition and were surprised when he suggested that he and Isis get tickets. They said they weren't sure how it was gonna work yet, but they promised they'd let the couple know. By then it was time to get back.
The afternoon both flew by and crawled for Kurry. She had fun in strings, practising the new song with Hilary, but Phys. Ed just crawled by, until finally, FINALLY the bell rang.
In a burst of energy, Kurry hurtled out the door. Flying down the hall, she leapt across the flagstones in the courtyard, heading for the dorm buildings. Kitty and Kat were close behind, but Kurry had already changed and was bouncing up and down on her bed when they arrived. 'Whoohoo! We're going! We're going!'
Kitty burst out laughing. 'Sheesh, someone's hyper.'
Kurry kept bouncing as she spoke. 'Well, do you know how excited I am? We get to *boing* go to a different school *boing* for like a MONTH *boing* to do that which we do best *boing* and have fun doing it *boing* along with a bunch of guys *boing* which will be a new experience because we've never even WORKED with guys before *boing*...Hmmm, this oughta be interesting.' She paused to muse on that for a moment.
Kat rolled up her gi carefully. 'Well, even if the guys are complete dorks, we'll still do our best.'
'I just hope they're decent. You know how I am with guys.' Kurry was suddenly worried.
Kitty made a 'Pfft!' sound and waved the issue off. 'Nah, you'll be just fine. We all will. In fact, we are gonna knock them over backwards, girl!'
The friends high-fived simultaneously.
'w00t!'
##########################################################################
Hee hee. We are cool, man. *grins* I'm beginning to not be nervous anymore. Just wait till we meet the guys though. Whew! Anywayz, please review! =D =D =D =D =D
Anywho, enjoy! ^_______^
