The Hojo's: Episode Two!
"This one is formatted differently then the last one, not as much cussin' and swearing but just as much fun! I do hope you enjoy it! I do!" Beth...
The horrible sound of the alarm clock rousted Beth up early in the morning on the first day of school. She quickly made rubble out of the screeching alarm and groaned as she laid back in her bed for few more blissful moments of slumber.
Next door, her brother, Sephiroth, heard the alarm start to ring, he merely glanced at it, causing the thing to commit suicide by jumping through the nearby window. He too went back to sleep.
Moments later, their came a roar up the stairway, "BETH! SEPHIROTH! You guys better be up and moving...YOUR GOING TO BE LATE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!"
"Hmm... big incentive." Beth growled as she jumped up and threw her clothes on. "All black." Beth smiled.
She opened her door, only to be almost ran over by Nanaki, who was busily chasing Cait Sith, the family cat. Nanaki stops, looks at the camera and says, "How do I get roped into these roles?" Then continues on chasing the cat.
"Brother, come on! We are going to be late!" Beth pounded on Sephiroth's door. Then, she opened it a crack. "A-HA!!!!!!"
"MOM! Sephiroth is sleeping with his Hello Kitty Plushie again!" Beth ran down the stairs with Sephiroth hot on her heels, him in his chocobo chibi pajamas.
"Sephiroth, how many times have your mother and I told you, future mad men/self proclaimed god type men DO NOT SLEEP WITH HELLO KITTY!" Dr. Hojo looked up from his newspaper at the boy, hiding a giggle.
"But it's my Stealth Ninja Night Warrior Hello Kitty!"
"It doesn't matter Sephiroth, now go and get dressed!" Lucrecia snapped. "Your breakfast is getting cold!"
Beth scarfed down her toast and Mako-laden Orange Juice. She ran into Sephiroth in the entry way, looking in the 'Umbrella' Stand.
"Sephiroth, don't touch Independencia! Don't touch my sword!"
Sephiroth scoffed at his sister, "I wasn't going to touch your stupid sword anyways, I am looking for my sword!"
Their fighting got so loud that Lucrecia came over and looked at both of them, "No swords."
Sephiroth whined, "But Moooooom! How am I going to learn to be a good mass murderer if you won't let me practice?"
Lucrecia shooed Sephiroth into the kitchen to eat his breakfast, Beth grabbed both swords and ran outside, just as the bus was pulling up.
Sephiroth bolted out behind her and almost got impaled on his own weapon. "Uh... thanks!" He said as they both ran onto the bus, hiding their weapons in their trench coats.
Lucrecia came running after the yelling at the top of her lungs, but it was too late. They had taken their swords to school.
"Can this day get any worse?" Beth mumbled after they had got their class assignments.
"HEY!" a voice squealed. "I know YOU! Your that new girl from down the road!"
Beth turned her long silvery hair to be face to face with...
"I'm Yuffie Valentine! Remember?" Yuffie beamed
"Ah, yes, the arranged marriage." Beth hissed, adjusting her Wizard bracelet so that Yuffie could see she was more than well armed.
"Hey, you have English next? That's MY class! We have the same class!" Yuffie gushed.
"Oh, goodie..." Beth said flatly. The last thing she wanted to do all day was hang around with this bitch, she was... eww.
"So, what grade are you in?" Yuffie asked.
"I'm a senior..."
"Then why are you taking some freshman corses?"
"I am behind in two subjects, okay? English... and" She shuddered, "Gym class."
"Oh, let me see!" Yuffie grabbed her schedule and looked at it, "We have gym together."
"Joy..." Beth said in a monotone voice. Beth was saved, sort of, by the bell that was ringing.
Yuffie bounded down the hallway and followed Beth into English class, taking a seat by her.
Beth could only imagine what she could do with her sword and her bracelet to this wonderful class.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
"It's not that bad!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....."
"It'll be fun!"
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........."
"Think of how all the girls will be envious!"
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........"
"Think of how good of a cook you will be!"
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......"
"Think about inhaling Sephiroth!"
"EEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP" Sephiroth took a deep breath.
"It says here you signed up for Home Ec." The principle said.
"I signed up for shop class, killing monsters class and principles of battle class!"
"Too late Sephiroth, those classes are full, Home Ec. It will be!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........"
"Goodie! Hey Beth! I thought I would walk you to Gym class!"
Beth's head met her locker... hard. SLAM!
"Come on, the bells about to ring! We better get going." Yuffie bounced down the hall.
"Gods save me..." Beth slammed her locker shut.
"Good afternoon class." The burly female teacher said, "Today we were going to have you buy your uniforms, but they are not here yet, so we will just play some games. Anyone up for tennis?" She held up a racket.
One kid raised his hand.
"Baseball?"
No one.
"Quidditch?"
Two kids.
"Dodgeball???"
Everyone wanted Dogdeball.
They split up and chose teams, Yuffie was a team leader, and so was Cloud Strife, who was a freshman as well.
"Cloud, you first." The teacher said.
"I want Beth!"
"I wanted Beth!" Yuffie cried.
"Now, Yuffie, he got to pick first, you can pick first next time!"
Beth walked over to Cloud's team and almost kissed Cloud for picking her, besides, her day was looking better already.
Sephiroth sat in his Home Ec class with several... er... all girls. He sighed as the teacher was handing out recipes. "Here Sephiroth... this looks like an easy one..." The nice teacher said.
"Oh, thank you... I'm going to have a blast..." Sephiroth smiled as he laughed a little while looking at the recipe. 'Charred Burgers'.
"Okay, class... I have enough items in here where you can make these things today... but be careful, and if you need help, let me know!" The teacher smiled.
The teacher was explaining the rules, Beth made sure that she got a clear shot of Yuffie's head. The teacher placed the balls in the middle of the gym floor, ran over to a corner and blew her whistle.
Beth got the balls first, grabbed up four of them and launched them all, at super-sonic speed, towards Yuffie.
"AHHHHHHH" Yuffie screeched as the balls slammed her into the concrete wall behind her. Two had hit her, the other two had left impressive size dents in the walls. Yuffie fell off the wall, and there was a Yuffie print too!
"TIME!" The teacher yelled as she rushed over to Yuffie.
Yuffie looked up and said, "no, no thank you dear moose... I don't want any feather, I have my own..."
"Who threw that ball?"
Everyone pointed at Beth. The teacher glared at her.
"I guess I don't know my own stregnth..." Beth chuckled.
Cloud helped tote Yuffie off to the nurse, while the rest of the class got let out early for lunch, Beth had to wait in the principles office... with....
"What are you doing here Sephiroth?"
"I...er...blew up the Home Ec. Lab..." Sephiroth smiled.
"On purpose?"
"Not completely!" Sephiroth moved his trench coat sleeve to hide his Angel's bangle. ((note: Not in the game, just sounds cool.))
"Oh brother... what a day this has been, and it isn't even lunch yet!" Beth smiled.
"Hey guys! How was your day at school?" Lucrecia smiled as her children walked in the door.
"Eh..." Beth dropped her backpack and ran upstairs.
"Same old, same old..." Sephiroth said as he went to watch television.
