Kenji's Adventure's As A Preteen
Chapter 4
The Wild Seamonkey's Concert
A/N: Sorry I haven't written for a while, but I finally decided I'm not gonna get more reviews unless I write more. However, -sniff- I'm disappointed that I only got 10 reviews. So, if I don't have 12 reviews, I'm not writing more! So there! Okay, probably not. I love this story too much to abandon it. Anyway...this chapter is MOSTLY about the Wild Seamonkeys and their concert, but...he shall meet someone very special. Oh yes. Just for you people who don't know what Brush Ups are (believe me, you'll need this information) they are little things that you slip on your finger and brush your teeth with.
"Okay guys! And Kenji. On the count of three, let's start!" Sano yelled. It was the Wild Seamonkey's first practice with Kenji. And they didn't bother to teach Kenji any of the material.
Yuki began to play some Beetzartoven song or something like that. Ookami would have broken his drum...if his drums weren't made of heavy metal. You see, he got so angry at his drums, (because it was supposedly their fault he couldn't play for beans) that he would break them if they weren't made of heavy metal. Sano began to play the guitar off key. REALLY off key. It sounded like an dog got stuck in a lawn mower, and was being struck by lightning, and beat up and...I'm stopping now... And Kenji's voice sounded angelic. Unfortunately.... it didn't go with the music at all.
"That was GREAT guys! We're ready to perform!" the ever optimistic Sano said. "All you guys are free to go. Just tell your parents that tonight we're having a concert at
Bob's Book Barn. Oh and Kenji, wear this there. I want to see how it looks on you. If it looks good enough, you're wearing it for the concert." Sano handed Kenji a red sparkly dress with slits down the sides, and a bra, and walked away. Then, he walked back to Kenji, and slipped something in his hands. "Kenji, you'll need these. Lots of them. Believe me." And then walked away again.
Kenji walked in through the front door of the house. Amazingly, his parent's didn't care he walked right out of his orthodontist appointment. And when Kenji told them he had joined a rock and roll band, and he was having his first concert that night, they just nodded and said, "That's nice Katrina. Now eat your broccoli." Kenji shrugged, and walked up to his room to see what Sano had given him.
"What in the world???!!" Kenji said, as he realized what Sano had given him. "BRUSH UPS?!!! MY BREATH DOESN'T STINK!" He said, opening the window to let out the mysterious smell in his room. "Oh well. I'll bring 'em anyway. Ookami could use them."
Then, Kenji changed into his dress, and made Kenshin and Kaoru drive him to
Bob's Book Barn, because the concert was starting in 10 minutes.
When they got there, everyone was spazzing out, because Kenji was a minute late. Yuki, in his little tuxedo, was biting his (unnaturally long) fingernails off. Ookami was wearing a muscle shirt, and ripped jeans. He wasn't that worried. Just hungry. Sanosuke was banging his head against the wall, knowing that he shouldn't have trusted someone so pretty. When they all saw Kenji, angels started singing. It was time to start the show!!!
It turns out; someone -coughYUKIcough- forgot to give Ookami heavy metal drums. As soon as his drumsticks hit the drum, it broke. So, for the whole concert, he played on thin air. Sano brought an electric triangle instead of his guitar. Yuki again played the wrong song. Kenji's voice broke Hiko's saké jug. But Hiko didn't care. He lapped it up off of the floor. And this all happened in their WARMUP!
Once they warmed up, Sano shouted out "Rip slip guys!" and everyone but Kenji knew what he was talking about. Sano started, with a loud TING on his triangle. Then, Yuki followed up with a nice intro on the piano, and Ookami played some more air drum. Then, the song started.
"RIP! SLIP! BRUSH! AH!" they all yelled out. Kenji knew immediately what he had to do. He put a Brush Up on, and brushed his mouth so hard, his teeth nearly fell out. Then, he sang in an opera voice:
"RIIIIIIP! SLIIIIIIP!!! BRUUUUSHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!" and he threw Brush Ups to everyone in the audience. Kenshin cried, and said, "That's our boy!" and Kaoru nudged him and said "Girl. Your girl. I'm not related to him in ANY way." Saitou, who was now an old coot, was complaining that too many kids were on his lawn, and that he couldn't hear the T.V. Aoshi was ashamed that Yuki bit off his fingernails that took so long to grow. And Sanosuke was so proud, he bought Sanosuke a car. (Don't worry! This WILL be brought up again! Hee hee hee...) Then, Kenshin realized that Ookami was Saitou's son. He walked up to Saitou, and nudged him.
"Hey Saitou...you had ANOTHER!?" Kenshin said, winking.
"Shut up you young'n! I'm tryin' to watch my soaps!" He said, and pushed Kenshin away, going back to playing with his two bars of soap.
Then, the miraculously short concert ended, and they all bowed. The Wild Seamonkeys went to their 'trailer' ::cough TREEHOUSE cough:: and had non-alcoholic saké and onigiri and ohagi until they threw up. (Kenji's puke was pink...) As they walked back to their homes, Kenji ran into a big scary figure. He cowered. This person looked like a very strong man! He hid behind a tree, but it was too late. The man had already seen him. The 'man' walked up to Kenji, and proudly said: "My name's Mary Joe! I like to body build! And eat! Invisible hamburgers! ::MUNCH:: My favorite salaaad! Dressin' is ELBOW GREASE?!" (Not to be read as a question, but just with the voice going up.)
Kenji was scared to death. That was a GIRL?! He screamed, running for his life...
