Darkstalkers High
Chapter 2- The Dance Part 2
After much walking through the hallways Jon, Aulbath and Anakaris found themselves in the school gym. It was going to be used for the dance, which was to be so extravagant that decorations had to be put up before school. As they walked towards the platform being used for the entertainment they noticed a shaggy ape-like monster. As Jon led the others over to it he said" Hey, Sasquatch, how's setting up the dance going?" Sasquatch replied in several grunts that only Jon could make out." Well, that's fine. See you later." Jon said as they parted ways from Sasquatch and walked over to the stage.
There were two people on the stage, one holding a guitar and the other at the drum set. The one holding the guitar was a tall boy with dark, blotched skin and red sunken eyes. The other was almost Anakarises height and had stitches holding his body together, topped off with the two large bolts sticking out of his head." Hey Raptor. Hey Victor." Jon said as he and the others walked onto the stage.
"Oh hey, guys. Why are you here?" Raptor welcomed as he put down his guitar. Victor just smiled and nodded while he stayed over with the drums.
" We didn't know we had to have a reason to see our friends." Aulbath said as he toyed around with some of the stage equipment.
" I just wanted to know why you guys came….. Sorry, I've just been really stressed over this whole dance." Raptor said as he sat down." We've done things like this a million times. I wish we'd get a real gig instead of these stupid kid dances."
Before Jon could reply as someone shouted" You don't have to worry about that Night of the Living Dork!"
Everyone looked towards the gym door as Jedah came strutting in with Phobos and Lilith followed him. He walked over to Raptor as he said" I'm here to tell you that you will not be needed for tonight's entertainment."
"Why?" Raptor said as the guys looked at each other confused.
" Because…. The school board decided to switch back over to CD's. They think your music is too….. Satanic."
Before Raptor could give another question Aulbath got a smirk on his face and said" Since when do you work for the MAN?"
Jedah kicked Aulbath as he yelled" SINCE IT WAS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUISNESS!"
As Anakaris helped Aulbath up Raptor lazily pulled out a piece of paper as he said" Well I have my check so I guess this is all fine…."
As Raptor finished Jedah took the check out of his hand and tore it into pieces and threw them on the ground." So much for your money Zom….. DORK!" He said as he, Lilith and Phobos left the gym.
After making sure they were gone Raptor pulled out another check saying" He should really look at what he destroys." He and Victor started loading up their stuff as he said" Well I guess this means I'll be able to finally go to the dance with a girl instead of a guitar."
As the five walked towards class Jon thought of what Raptor had said before they left and said" So what do we do about my date problem?" Raptor and Victor sighed in unison, leaving Jon wide eyed." Et tu, Raptor?..." He said as he once again started to look depressed.
Aulbath quickly brainstormed then said" Let us have a look at the girls around us. How about her?" He said pointing at a nearby girl.
" She tripped me last year." Jon said, dismayed.
" How about her?"
"She called me a freak last week."
"Her?"
"She threw milk in my face."
"Her?"
"She has a boyfriend."
"Her?"
"She kicked you five days ago for making a comment about her hair."
"HER?"
"……. That's a guy…."
Aulbath looked to confirm Jon's claim then said" OKAY, THEN WHO?"
Jon tried to think for a couple moments, then Raptor said" Why don't we think about the girls who tolerate you….. And us."
"Good idea," Aulbath said in agreement." How about….. Morrigan?"
"You know she's going with Demitri. And even if she wasn't Demitri would kick my ass… that is after he finished crying." Jon said as the others nodded in agreement.
"Lilith?" Aulbath said, hopeful for some agreement on his part.
" She's going to go with Jedah." Jon said in a confused manner.
" Why?" Aulbath said "I thought he hates her. I mean, he hits her all the time!"
"Well, he hits everyone." Raptor said" Last time I asked him he said it was so he doesn't end up like Jon, a "Date-less loser". I think she's something of a trophy girlfriend….. Oh, no offense Jon."
Jon looked at Raptor in a confused manner as he replied" None… taken?"
Aulbath saw Q-bee talking to some of insect-like friends, which gave him an idea." How about Q-Bee?"
"Nah," Raptor said before Jon could reply" She's going out with me."
"Since when? You said you didn't have a date." Aulbath asked as Raptor had the group stop.
" That's right…" He said before walking right over to Q-Bee and asked" Hey Q-bee, will you go to the dance with me?"
"Of course I will! Thanks Raptor!" Q-bee said before going off with her friends.
"Since now." Raptor said as he walked away, leaving the others with their mouths wide open.
" MAN Raptor, you are a PLAYER!" Aulbath said as he and the others caught up with Raptor, who was almost into their classroom.
" Well, some guys got it, some guys don't." He said as he and the others went into class leaving Jon standing outside. None of them had noticed that the comment had struck Jon in a sensitive area.
" Some guys don't have it…." He said just as the bell rang prompting him to run into class.
Jon hurriedly got into his desk which location he had chosen to stay close to his friends. Aulbath sat to the right of Jon, while Anakaris sitting in front of him, while Raptor and Victor sat behind him and Jon. As Jon got out his books Aulbath nudged him saying" About this date thing why don't you ask Feli…… Oh, Hi Felicia!"
"Hey guys!" Felicia said as she sat next to Jon." Hi Jon…. Is something wrong?"
"No…" Jon said almost not noticing Felicia had sat next to him.
" You look sad… When I feel sad I like to…." Felicia said as she started going on about so many things the guys weren't actually listening to her. After a few moments Aulbath realized Felicia seemed to be concentrating more on Jon than him or the others. An idea suddenly popped in his head. He then began nudging and tapping Jon's shoulder as to tell him something.
" And then I like to…. Aulbath, are you having a seizure or something?"
"Oh, uh… nothings wrong with me." Aulbath said as he dismissed Felicia's worries then continued to try and get Jon's attention" Jon…. Jon…. JON!"
"Mister Aulbath is there something you would like to tell the class?" The teacher said in an annoyed manner.
" No, Miss, I have nothing to say."
"Good," She said as she looked back over her list" Now to go on with attendance… Mr. Jedah?... It appears he's not…"
Before she could continue the door bust open as Jedah, Lilith and Phobos walked in." I'm here you old hag!" Jedah said as he walked over to his seat.
" Oh I am so sorry miss," Phobos said as he started pleading" I know I'm supposed be in class on time, but Jedah had to have us go do some things and we didn't realize how late it was and….. Well like I always say a mind is a terrible thing to waste and since I'm a robot with massive amounts of memory space that's even worst to waste when you think about…."
"Phobos," The teacher started saying" No one cares."
Phobos walked over to his seat, embarrassed, while the rest of the class laughed and Demitri yelled out" ROBO-NERD!"
The teacher then turned to Lilith and asked" And why are you late Lilith?"
Lilith looked over the class then started blushing as she said" I was busy spending time with my boyfriend Jedah…." Was all she got out before she was hit in the back of the head by a text book tossed by Jedah.
" I'M NOT YOUR FREAKING BOYFRIEND YOU LITTLE B$#H!" He said as he started tossing more books at Lilith.
" Oh, you tease!" Lilith said as the class sat dumfounded at the fact her "boyfriend" was tossing a hail of books at her and she was just standing there and taking it. After a few moments of breaking the confusion the teacher had the students open their books.
" Hey Aulbath," Jon whispered" What were you trying to tell me?"
"Nothing…" Aulbath said as he settled down and went to sleep, having already read the chapter they were going over.
After a morning full of boring classes the Darkstalkers finally made it to lunch period. Jon, Aulbath, Anakaris, Raptor and Victor were sitting at their usual table when Aulbath said" Okay, Jon, about this whole dance thing why don't you ask..." was all he got out when Hsien-ko suddenly popped up next to their table.
" Hey, Guys!" She said as she looked over the table" Were you talking about the dance?"
"Yeah," Raptor said before Jon could stop him" Jon doesn't have a date, so we're trying to find him a girl."
Hsien-ko got a smug look on her face as she said" Well I've got guys lining up outside my house to just get a date with me. I just don't know who to choose."
"That's nice." Aulbath said as he and the other guys went back to brainstorming.
Hsien-ko stared at them for a moment then left saying" See… you guys… later…"
After a few moments of thinking Aulbath said" Oh yeah…. Jon! I know who you should ask."
"Who?" Jon replied in a sad tone.
" Felicia." Aulbath said which was met with agreement from the others.
" No," Jon said in an even sadder way" She'd never go out with me…."
"Come on!" Aulbath said hysterically" We all know she likes you. Remember back in first period, she spent all that time talking with you to when you felt down."
"She did that just because we're next door neighbors." This is true. Jon's house lies to the right of Felicia's. They've been neighbors and friends ever since 4th grade." It would ruin our current relationship which I happen to like." Aulbath and the rest of Jon's friends stared at him open mouthed
" Jon… what in the hell does that matter?"
"But…" Jon said as Aulbath started pushing him off the table.
"But nothing!" Aulbath said" Now go over there and ask her!"
After Jon had walked off Victor said to Aulbath" Are you doing this because of that fanfiction you read all the time?"
"Yeah, pretty much." He replied.
As Jon walked through the cafeteria he said to himself" My god, this is freaking embarrassing. Why the hell am I listening to Aulbath? He's smart but he knows nothing about people. Maybe I should just forget about getting a date. If Felicia says no, which I'm betting she will I'll only have two girls left to choose and I really don't want to go out with them. Maybe Jedah was right…. Hi Felicia!" Jon had been so in thought he had only realized at the last minute he was at Felicia's table.
" Hi Jon, are you feeling better?" Felicia asked as her friends looked from her to Jon.
" Yeah," Jon said" I am feeling a little better…"
"That's nice," One of Felicia's cat friends said then asked" Do you have a date for the dance Jon?"
"Well," Jon said, beginning to look around nervously" that's what I came here to talk about. You see I wanted to know if…."
"Oh, wait I have to go ask Morrigan something." Felicia said as she got up and left.
After she was gone her friend's faces turned from nice smiles to angry frowns as one of them said" We know exactly why you're here Jon and if you are smart you'll leave right now."
"…………..What?..." Jon replied not really understanding what they meant.
" You canine humanoids are all the same saying "Let's go and get our selves some female cat-girls". You make me sick."
Jon looked hurt, confused and humored all at the same time as he said "Is this some kind of race thing or something?"
"My sister was beaten by one of your people!" One of the other cat-girls said.
" Well, that's bad and all but I've never really hurt anyone.."
"Forget it," The cat-girl began to say" Go now and we'll tell Felicia you had something important to do, but if you ask her to the dance and she accepts we'll make you VERY sorry.." as she finished she shot out here claws and pointed them at Jon.
" Uh… okay…" Jon said as he hurried off.
The guys had been waiting anxiously after Jon had left. When they saw him they immediately bombarded him with a flurry of questions.
" How did it go?"
"Did she say yes?"
"Tell us something, man!"
"I want more CHEESE!"
Jon then explained to them everything that had happened for a few minutes.", and that's how it happened. I think they got some race issues…"
The guys took the information in and then Aulbath said" They're just joking. Now get over there and ask Felicia out."
"Why are you trying so hard to get me to go out with her?..." Jon began to say then he got a look of sudden understanding and said" WAIT! This is because of that STUPID Fanfiction website isn't it?" The others looked at Aulbath as Jon pointed at him accusingly.
" Well, duh!" Aulbath replied in an insolent manner.
Jon sighed and said" Why should I go out with a girl everyone expects me to go after?" as he began to sit down. When he was almost in the chair the seat was pulled back quickly and Jon fell to the floor. As he looked up to see who had done it the chair was dropped on top of him.
" Hey, Jon, you know it's not very dignified to lie on the ground." Jedah said as he pulled Jon up. Before Jon could thank or yell at him Jedah pushed him to the table and said" You guys know the drill, give me your food or you taste the floor."
As Jon straightened up he said" Jedah, you've done this since 7th grade. Why don't you just buy the food?"
"Because I spent all my money on a new CD. Now hand it over."
"We would," Raptor started saying" but we ate our food as soon as we got it. We're not dumb you know." Which his friends nodded in agreement to.
" Well…. Give me your food Phobos!" Jedah said, turning to his flunky.
" But Jedah….. I don't eat….. I'm a robot." Phobos said in an uneasy way.
" Lilith, do you have anything?"
"No," She replied happily" I'm on a diet."
"WHAT THE HELL!" Was the phrase all the guys said as they stared at Lilith's thin body.
" Lilith you're the absolute last one of us who needs a diet!" Aulbath said, shocked.
" Why," Jedah asked" would you go on a diet?"
Lilith started to blush as she said" For the dance, silly.."
"Enough said," Jedah began as he walked away" I know that when you start blushing over something and talk about me it is completely undeserving of my time."
After Phobos, who was thoroughly confused, and Lilith, who was still blushing brightly, had left Aulbath said" Jedah may not like it, but I would love it if my girlfriend was that dedicated to me." The rest of the guys nodded in agreement even though Jon and Victor don't have girlfriends and Raptor had only just asked Q-Bee out that morning.
Jedah could hear his stomach growling as he studied the lunch tables, looking for some unfortunate person's lunch to steal. He eventually spotted Demitri who was deep in conversation with Morrigan, which by deep I mean he was listening to everything she said and not speaking at all." Hey Demitri," Jedah said as he walked over to his table" give me your pudding."
Demitri turned around and looked at Jedah saying" No, I won't because I plan on eating it. Now go away."
Jedah started getting angry as Demitri had turned back to Morrigan and acted as if he wasn't even there. Jedah then said" I said GIVE ME YOUR PUDDING FANG-FACE!" as he started violently shaking Demitri's chair.
" Jedah, why don't you act like the little insect you are and crawl under a rock or something." Morrigan said as Demitri tried his hardest to ignore Jedah who was rocking the chair even more.
" I wasn't talking to YOU, you whore, harlot, slut, and temptress!" Jedah replied as he stopped shaking the chair, due to his tired arms.
" THAT IS IT," Demitri began as he turned back to Jedah" I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU MY FOOD JEDAH, BECAUSE UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU! AND DON'T LET ME HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT MORRIGAN LIKE THAT OR I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!"
The whole cafeteria went silent as they watched to see what would happen next. Demitri had turned back to Morrigan to continue her conversation. That was the worst mistake he could ever make in that situation, because as soon as he had turned around Jedah grabbed him by the back of his head and slammed his face into the pudding. Morrigan stared mouth opened as pudding shot from the bowl and onto her clothes. Jedah let go of Demitri's head after a few moments and said" You can have your damn pudding, I definitely don't want it now. Oh, and if you want to get it off why don't you have your whore of a girlfriend lick it off. We both know she does it for all the other guys." Jedah then strode off proudly towards Phobos and Lilith, expecting praise. Now it was Jedah's turn to make a mistake. As he walked towards his followers Demitri body slammed him from behind and then began beating him as he lay on the floor. After taking a few hits Jedah started throwing punches and the two started to evenly fight on the ground, while they both let out a string of insults.
" Inmate!"
"Whore-dater!"
" Cretin!"
"Aristocrat!"
" Lame Boss!"
" Dracula rip-off!" And many more were said as the two rolled on the floor.
(Okay we're going to fast forward a little, since the fight will go on and on and on. And then the whole cafeteria breaks out into a battle royale between those who side with Demitri and those who side with Jedah( Out of pure fear of him.).Yeah… and then some school periods pass and nothing interesting happens. Well Aulbath and Victor do get into an argument over game systems, but that's just as dragged out as the Demitri/Jedah fight so we'll skip that too. So here we are at P.E. The gangs last class.)
Jon and Raptor were quickly running the track while Aulbath, Anakaris and Victor struggled as hard as they could to keep up with them." So," Raptor began as they started their 4th lap" What about asking B.B.Hood?"
"You've got to be kidding." Jon replied in a serious manner.
" No, I'm serious. You guys could go like a Little Red Ridding Hood/Wolf thing, you know? Plus she does a lot of extracurricular stuff." Raptor said pointing out B.B.Hood who was over at the part of the field the girls were using giving orders to them as they played soccer.
" Yeah," Jon replied" But you know how she gets. See, look right now." He pointed towards B.B.Hood who was yelling at one of the girls for missing a goal or something like that, then when the girl tried to ignore her she brought out two Uzi's and started shooting at her.
" Oh… I forgot she does that." Raptor said as the two came near Jedah.
" How are you doing Jedah?" Jon asked as he and Raptor came to a stop.
" Terrible, wuss. That damn elitist knocked out two of my teeth." Jedah replied as he rubbed his jaw.
" Well, at least you broke his arm." Raptor said, trying to comfort him.
" Yeah," Jedah replied as he got a sinister look on his face" I'll remember the sound of it snapping until I break someone else's."
"Well Jon," Raptor said as Aulbath, Anakaris and Victor finally caught up" The only girl left to choose is Hsien-ko, and from what she told us she probably chose a guy. But that doesn't mean you don't have a chance."
"No…. she isn't my type, plus have you seen the size of her hands?"
Jedah got a smirk on his face as he said" Seriously with hands those big she could really……." And then mumbled off.
" Big hands, what?" Jon asked while the others looked ready to ask the same question.
" I shouldn't tell you….. It isn't for young ones, like you."
"…..Jedah…. I'm two months older than you…." Jon replied.
" Well….. Screw you, you stupid-!" Jedah started when he was cut off by the coach, who was across the field, yelling" Hey! You boys over there! Get back to running!"
"$$ OFF, OLD MAN!" Jedah loudly replied as he kept the others from running.
" You especially, Jedah! You haven't run at all!"
"YOU BETTER SHUT UP, OLDIE, BEFORE I RUN OVER THERE AND KICK YOUR ASS!"
"JEDAH! If you don't start running I will give you an F!"
"THAT'S IT!" Jedah shouted as he roughly pulled off his shirt." HOLD MY SHIRT, ANAKARIS!" He said as he tossed his shirt to the mummy and ran over to the coach. The five friends watched as Jedah pushed the teacher to the ground and began kicking and punching him.
" You think he'll get arrested again?" Aulbath asked as they started running again.
" Yeah, probably," Raptor replied as he and Jon quickly took the lead" But he'll get out by tomorrow morning."
B.B.Hood walked over to Morrigan and Felicia who were staring at the track field." What are you looking at?" She asked as she looked for anything of interest.
" Jedah started another fight." Morrigan replied as she pointed at Jedah, who was wildly laughing as he continually kicked the coach." First he hits my sister, destroys the girl's room, fights Demitri, breaks into my locker and now he beats up a teacher. I wish I could do something about him."
"If you want," B.B.Hood said as she pulled out a sniper rifle" I could take him out."
"No…. My sister would really be depressed." Then Jedah, who had beaten the coach to his length of satisfaction, yelled" WUSS! YOU'RE WEAKER THEN THAT STUPID WHORE MORRIGAN!"
"Hit him… but with nothing lethal."
"Awww." B.B.Hood said as she gathered put up her bullets.
" Okay, okay," Morrigan replied" Hit him with a tranquilizer or something, just shut him up."
B.B.Hood brought out a small needle and said" There's enough in this to take out a bull male elephant."
"This is way too cruel." Felicia said as B.B Hood took aim.
(At around the same time.)
"DAMNIT JON! DAMNIT RAPTOR! WAIT UP!" Aulbath shout as he, Anakaris and Victor struggled to keep up with Jon and Raptor.
" You guys should exercise more!" Jon replied as he started to run faster than Raptor.
" Watch this!" He said as he not only went ahead of Raptor, but also did it running backwards.
" Man!" Raptor shouted at Jon" You are totally beating me! You should join the track team!"
Aulbath, having forgotten about his previous anger, Anakaris and Victor also cheered Jon on" You are the man!"
"Way to go!"
"Keep it up!"
Jon looked over his shoulder at Jedah as he said" Hey, Jedah, watch this!"
"Leave me alone you show offing mutt!"
As Jon went past Jedah a low hissing sound was heard and Jon started to slow down.
Raptor ran over to Jon as he said" Why are you slowing down? You can't possibly be tired…"
Jon didn't reply and continued to slow until he hit a trash can and fell. Raptor and the others ran towards Jon as Aulbath screamed" JON'S DEAD!"
At the same moment Morrigan, B.B.Hood and Felicia all said "Uh, Oh."
"Jon………….Jon……"
"Is he okay?"
"He's fine."
"How do you know?"
"I know because….. I can just plain kick your ass, okay?"
"What?..." Jon said as he slowly woke up. Standing around him were Aulbath, Jedah, Felicia and Anakaris." Where… is everyone…. Else?"
"They left two hours ago after they got bored of making sure you're okay. Plus they had to get ready for the dance." Aulbath replied.
" DANCE?" Jon yelled, after which he looked around and noticed how dark it was. He had missed any last chance of getting a date. He put his head into his hands and stayed very still.
After a few moments of awkward silence Aulbath finally understood what was wrong with Jon and helped him up as he said to the others" Go ahead and get ready for the dance. I'll take Jon home and meet you guys there."
"Okay…" Felicia replied in a concerned tone and left.
Anakaris just nodded and went as well, leaving Jedah who promptly said" Why the hell am I here? I don't even like him. To be honest…… I hate him." And walked away confused at why he had even stayed.
Aulbath was busy talking on his cell phone while Jon lay on his couch holding an icepack to his head." Well, thanks Anakaris." Aulbath said as he put up his cell phone and turned to Jon." From what Anakaris told me about the dance Morrigan is there with Demitri, Lilith with Jedah and Q-Bee with Raptor. Hsien-ko apparently didn't go to the dance, neither did B.B.Hood. And I think Felicia is going with her friends." Jon just sighed and didn't even make a glance at Aulbath." You know," Aulbath said, obviously trying to cheer up Jon" After the dance I'll come back over here and we can, you know, play Tekken 5 or something."
"No, you go spend time with your girlfriend."
"Okay…." Aulbath replied as Jon led him to the door. As Jon watched him walk down the sidewalk Aulbath waved and said" Later man." Jon watched him until he couldn't make him out of the darkness.
As he was about to go inside Jon noticed a van filled with cat-girls in front of Felicia's house. Jon walked over to the van as the driver said" Look it's the Wolf guy. What do you want?"
Jon quietly replied" Listen…. I understand that by nature you felines are naturally resistant to canines and your distaste for me is understandable, but Felicia is my friend. When I wanted to ask her out it wasn't so much that I like her as it is that I simply wanted a date. You were right in a weird, racist way, but none the less I would have gone out with her for status rather then love. So let's just forget about all this and be friends, okay?"
The driver looked at the others in silence for a few moments then turned back to Jon and said" Never you ugly freak!" after which she quickly sprayed mace in his eyes. Jon fell to the ground and crawled on all four to his house while the cat-girls laughed at him. He was in such a daze he went all the way through his house into his backyard and dunked his head into the small pool. He then crawled over to the fence and sat with his back to it and started moaning out of pain.
Jon: That's it?
Jedah: Pretty much.
Jon: But I thought we were going to use that scene where Felicia came outside and comforted me and stuff?
Jedah: We were, but time wouldn't allow that.
Jon: This is seriously lame!
Jedah: Quit crying. That goes for the rest of you viewers out there too. The true ending will be shown in the next chapter, whenever the writer gets it up. Anyway this thing was long as hell.
Jon: Yeah…..
Jedah: You people will get to see the ending when the next story is put up later.
Jon: This sucks.
Jedah: That's what I've been saying the whole time.
Well that's it. Like Jedah said the whole not enough time thing….. This was unbelievably long so don't complain. I probably didn't focus on some things enough but this seriously took a lot out of me. Later.
