Crazy Band Story Ch. 17: Kennywood Day Part 1

The wake up call for all band members that day was bright and early: 5 am. Yes, they had to get up that early, report to the school by no later than 8 (preferably 7) and arrive at the park by opening time so they could get maximum free time.

Jin and Kuronue got up whenever Tig told them to get up so they could not face her wrath, so there was no problem at her house that morning except for the incident with Hiei refusing to eat waffles because they had "wannabe-holes" in them. Tig opened the fire-slash-ice demon's mouth and with a car jack and force-fed him the food. Then they walked to the school, trying not to get run over by cars on Route 51.

At Roh-Zee's house, the girls were up and about with no trouble at all. They ate some cereal and walked to the school. It was a very long walk (45 minutes) but they made it in one piece.

Now, at DarrkKatt's house cue to the number of people in it, complete chaos ruled just like it did every morning. Kurama and Yusuke were not morning people, so they were crabby even with coffee and tea shoved down their throats. Touya was playing with Trixi, and Koenma was having a staring contest with the guinea pig. He was losing big time. And just because this authoress forgets exactly who was in her house because of the amount of people coming and going. (Koenma was the newest addition. Sara quit band and was now unable to take care of him because she had been kicked out of her home for coming out of the closet. Yes, Sara's a lesbian, insult her and you die!) DarrkKatt, fed up with not being able to keep track of the people, did what any sane person would do. She screamed.

Everyone froze in place and stared at her as though she was crazy. Then, in one swift and un-communicated motion, they packed themselves into the van and allowed themselves to be driven to band.

Now everyone is there at band. What happens next? Until next time... -pans fall from the ceiling onto the authoress' head- OW!!! (you ain't done yet!!" Fin, fine!! Don't hurt the cripple anymore, ok?! (Why'd you go and fall over something as stupid as a curb?) I wasn't looking!! (No shit Sherlock.) Shut up, stupid little voice in my head! I'm on crutches now! FEEL PITY!!! (NEVER!!!!) Why you little... -a fight breaks out, DarrkKatt comes out victor- Ahahaha! No more little voice in my head!...Wait. Why do I feel guilt? Oh, hell...Let's continue the story.

At the band room, no chaos reigned. Everyone was outside packing the trailers with their various instruments. Everything was going in a nice, orderly fashion. Scary. Tig arrived just in time to help DarrkKAtt and Kelly carry the tubas down a steep flight of concrete steps to the trailer at the lower level. Good thing Tig forced Jin to help as well, because DarrkKatt was getting crushed under the tuba's weight.

"Gratias..." She said weakly after the tuba was safely stored on the trailer. "Thought I was going to die there."

"What a pathetic way to die!" Jin said, completely serious, as they walked up the stairs back to the band room. "Really, getting crushed by a tuba?"

"It is possible." was all Kelly said before returning to her group.

"What is?" Touya asked, walking in behind them and catching the last bit of the conversation. He had somehow carried his tuba down with no help at all.

"Getting crushed by a tube," Tig repeated, watching Jessie and Stephie run in late. "Those things are really heavy."

"Jin, don't look doubtful. Ever had one of them on your shoulders for a day?"

Jin opened his mouth to respond but shut it quickly when he had no response.

"Didn't think so." Touya walked over to a chair and pulled a book out of his pocked. Kurama and Kuronue, their interest captured, stood behind him and read over his shoulder.

Just as Shizuru came in from loading the sabers onto the trailer, Mr. McKeever came out of his office. He moved quickly to the conductor's stand and tapped it with a block of wood. "ATTENTION PLEASE!!!!!!!"

The room was immediately silenced. All eyes were on the BIG GUY. Coughing slightly, he continued.

"Time to pack up the buses. We have a distinct order in regard to this normally chaotic pastime. Alright...SENIORS GO FIRST!!!!"

The seniors snaked their way through the crowd and some of them jumped over people's heads in the effort to get outside as quickly as possible. It took only five minutes and then they were gone.

"Juniors!"

Juniors raced each other to the front of the room. Several freshmen were knocked out of the way in the process, but no one was seriously injured.

"Sophomores and I'll throw the exchange students into this one as well!"

DarrkKatt and Joe led the way to the exit. Tig was immediately behind them with Roh-Zee. TheYu Yu Gang shrugged and followed the four Pitt-Teens out the door.

On the hillside of band hill were five buses all half full of students. DarrkKatt went down to the first one and climbed on board. Everyone else followed.

On board, it was discovered by the shock of the Yu Yu Gang that this bus was nothing more than a school bus. Hiei was more disappointed than anyone else. Everyone had to have a riding partner, or a 'bus buddy'. Meaning, he couldn't sit alone and glare at people, he had to sit with someone and glare at that person.

Resigning himself to the inevitable, he sat in seat number four. Koenma sat down beside him, also not looking like the happiest camper in the world. Two grumpy guys sitting in the same seat. Well, can't have everything in the world, right? Kurama sat with Kuronue, and everyone paired up with their friends or the ones they could stand the most.

After only three freshmen filtered onto the bus, the bus driver got on board and started up the bus. A cheer erupted from everyone because they hated to wait. This bus leading the way, all of them left the hill and started in the direction of the park.

Kurama turned to Tig and DarrkKatt about ten minutes into the trip. "What exactly is Kennywood?" he asked.

"Well, you'll see when we get there," DarrkKatt said with a small smile. Tig said nothing but grinned mischievously.

Twenty minutes later, they were getting their first glimpse of the park known as Kennywood...

Ok, all they saw was a large yellow and black tower and the tip of a green roller coaster hill. That counts. Always the first thing a person sees when approaching the park.

As the bus went over the crest of the hill, the Yu Yu gang finally saw more of this 'Kennywood'. It looked like the standard, old fashioned theme parks left over from the early 1900's. They weren't impressed in the least. When they told the teens that, the teens allowed Joe to respond for them.

"Appearances can be deceiving."

The bus turned and went into the back lot behind the park. There were only picnic pavilions and trees back there, nothing more, nothing scary.

The Yu Yu gang let out and unknowingly-held breath. Nothing bad could happen here.

Wow. Could you ever be more wrong?

Tig: That's it for now. Please review and be nice. Joe cried because we didn't get any new reviews!
