Chapter 7-"Cookies Anyone?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryusaki faced Koki and handed him a basket of cookies. "Well. What are we waiting for?"

Koki eyed him warily as Ryusaki told him where to go. He turned away and running a hand through his hair, he said to Tanpopo, "Don't worry. I'll win." With that, he walked over to the car and motioned Aoi, Tsuki, and Tanpopo to hurry up.

"Don't forget to be there at exactly 4:30. I'll be waiting." Ryusaki got into his car and sped away. When Koki was sure he was gone he screamed. "WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?! STUPID ASSHOLE!" He stomped around and came to an immediate stop when he saw Tanpopo's face.

"I'm sorry but if it bothers you so much, maybe you shouldn't do it. I don't want to be the cause of something you don't want to do." She lowered her head.

Koki was alarmed. He hadn't meant to make it sound as if he wouldn't take a chance for her. He walked over to her and put an arm over her shoulders and pulled her close. "Sorry... I didn't mean it that way. I'm just pissed at that friggin' Ryusaki. So don't be sad ok?"

Tanpopo sniffed and said in a really low voice, "Really really?"

Koki smiled and said, "Really really."

"YAAAAHHHHOOOO!!!" she yelled happily. "Don't worry. You'll look so pretty!!" Her boyfriend just stood there looking dumbfounded.

"Haha... twit," Tsuki half laughed.

Aoi had that gleam again and lifted up the costume. "Shouldn't we get dressed now Koki?"

Koki bowed his head and mumbled, "Stupid. Yeah I'm coming, I'm coming!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aoi and Koki came back from the bathroom and stood in front of Tsuki and Tanpopo. Aoi had that grinning face and Koki looked away from them, his face deeply flushed with red.

"So, what do you think lovelies?" Aoi asked as he twirled around in the skirt. He wore sunglasses and was that... lipstick?! "Hehe... I overdid myself didn't I?" The two girls shifted their eyes toward Koki. It was hilarious. His hair was tied into two very short pigtails and he was wearing some lipstick and some eyeliner. His somewhat buff figure didn't help much. The two "girls" had BOOBS!? (Balloons people, balloons!)

Tanpopo and Tsuki looked at each other and then looked back at the two ridiculous lookin' girl scouts before them. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" they burst out laughing and both fell to the floor clutching their stomachs.

"I guess the girls really loved our fit didn't they Koki?" Aoi stopped twirling and looked at Koki who had on a dark expression on his face. "Eeeeek! Mommy save me!" Aoi pounced on Tsuki and pretended to hold on to his dear life.

"Fwifpy, your fwand isf cofvering fmy moufth.." Tsuki tried to speak. What she said was "Flippy, your hand is covering my mouth." What Aoi thought she said was "Quickly cover your lips with mine." How he ended up with that interpretation, no one knows but all Tsuki could think about was Aoi and his lingering kiss.

"YOU BAKA! JACKASS!" She shoved him away even though deep down inside she had enjoyed it.

"Only for you, baby!" Aoi declared with a huge smile on his face. "Ok fellow girl scout buddy, shall we go?"

Koki went over to Tanpopo and said, "I'll be back and I'm sure that I'll sell the most cookies if that's the price for you. I mean, even if I lose, I'm not really gonna lose you."

Tanpopo looked up at him with puppy eyes. "Aww Koki..." She placed a small kiss on his lips and they were off. She noticed something right away. "Uhh... Tsuki..? Are you seeing what I think I'm seeing?"

Tsuki's eyes bulged wide open in shock. Nodding, she couldn't tear her eyes from Koki. The "backside' at least.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aoi and Koki waited at the corner where Ryusaki said to meet him. As you all know, Flippy has a somewhat evil mind. SoOo, as Koki paced back and forth, he decided to keep his mouth shut and hold in his laughter. giggle

Koki quickly turned around. "What?!"

"Um, nothing. Really, it's nothing."

Koki raised a brow and went back to searching for any sign of Ryusaki. A man was about to pass but immediately stopped once he saw Koki.

"Hey." The man looked Koki up and down. Burning with heat, Koki shifted his eyes left and right.

"Uh, are you talking to me?"

"Yes baby I am."

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Koki yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Geez. I was just tryin' to help YOU out. Btch." The man walked angrily away.

Koki heard chuckling behind his back. Aoi was laughing his head off. Soon, another voice came his way.

"Nice view sexy." The guy said smirking.

"Excuse me?" He asked confused.

"I said that you have a nice view."

Koki froze. "You can't mean..."

"Yup."

He felt down his back and onto his behind. Flames engulfed in his eyes as he shifted them towards Aoi.

"Heh heh... uh, is it too late to tell you?"

"MY SKIRT WAS TUCKED INTO MY UNDERWEAR PANTY THINGY AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?! WHAT THE HELL'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Clenching his fist, he dashed towards his frightened friend. But before Koki could hurt anyone, the guy said, "Aren't you gonna fix your skirt? Your ass looks funny when you run." Koki punched him and sent him flying away. Fixing his skirt, he heard more laughter.

"HahahahahhahaHAHA!!!" Aoi couldn't help it. It was all very hilarious to him. Just as he was about to get his lights punched out, a little girl's voice was heard.

"Um, excuse me. Can I have some cookies please?" Her mother was handing her some money. "Can I have two boxes?"

A woman came along and asked for four boxes.

Koki became happy in an instant. He even tried to sound like a girl. "Hehe... sure you can! Here ya go!" Handing her two boxes and the lady four, he pocketed the money. "Thank you and come again! I really appreciated it!" Humming to himself, he thought about Tanpopo and how happy she was going to be when he won this game.

"I see you've already sold some. Not bad." Ryusaki was leaning against the wall of the building dressed... normally. "My my. Look who's all pretty today."

Aoi pouted, "I'm pretty too! Don't forget about me! I just sold two boxes while you were focused on him!!

The enemy gave an irritated look over to Aoi. "Uh huh. Yeah. Whatever." His eyes shifted back to Koki. "Well, as you can see, I am not dressed for this occasion. It's because I changed the rules. I had decided that if you sold any cookies by the time I got here, you'd win this part of my game."

Anger was Koki's response. "That's not fair! You were supposed to do this ridiculous act with me!" Aoi looked at him. "I mean us! Who the hell do you think you are to change all the rules?"

"Relax relax. I mean, you've sold some already haven't you? And you're in that awful charade right? I mean, you've won this section but the final part is all that matters."

"So we did this for nothing?!"

Ryusaki scratched his head. "No of course not. I just wanted to see if you had guts and to see how far you would go for my lovely Tanpopo."

"She's mine and you'll never be able to take her away from me!" Koki yelled.

"Well now. That could only be decided if you win later on. You want me to tell you what it is?"

Koki was pissed. "Fine."

Tossing a coin with his left hand, he explained the whole ordeal. "OK, this is it. It's simple really. If you and my Tanpopo are really meant to be together, then both of you will be selected as king and queen at the Halloween Dance. If that doesn't happen and I"M the one who gets selected along with Tanpopo, she belongs with me. Is that clear?"

Koki eyed him evenly. "Crystal."

"Alrighty then. See you later-- when you lose!" He got into his car and sped away.

Aoi came up behind his friend and asked, "How are you gonna pull this off?"

"I don't kn... hey wait! You're the computer hacker master! You can help me! Everything's technology in Meio High. The voting will probably be done by computer. You've got to help me out!"

Aoi thought for a moment. "Yes, I could but..."

"But what?"

"...but Ryusaki is also well with computers. I can't say that he's the better than me, the Oh Mighty Great One, but he can seriously screw around with the polls too."

Koki put his face in his hands. "Argh! This is so complicated!"

Aoi formed an idea. "Hey! Maybe we can get Tsuki to watch Ryusaki's every move at the dance! Therefore, the voting will be done fairly with no cheating. You know that my darling is very well in that area of expertise! Before she and Tanpopo were friends, she stalked you very stealthily and you didn't even know!'

His ears perked up. "She did?!"

"Exactly my point." Aoi said. He was really proud of how "smart" he was.

"That just... might work. Aoi, you might be on to something. But how do you know whether or not he's tampered with the computer system already?"

"When we see that he's at the dance, I'll use my laptop, hack into the school computer and check if there's been some evil person trying to win. I could even make you win but I have faith that you and the ditz are meant for eachother and that you guys will win."

Koki looked touched. "Aoi, I think that's the most nicest and caring thing you've ever said to me that makes any sense."

"Well, I do have this incredible brain to match with my incredible bod. Oh by the way, your left boob is gone."

A little girl passed by and pointed at Koki. "Daddy! Daddy! That ladyman has only one boob!" Her dad glared at him and said, "Look away Sita." The father and daughter quickly went away.

"Bwahahahahahahaha!" Aoi started laughing again.

Koki took both of the balloons out, which were filled with water, and threw them at Aoi.

"Hey, do you have anymore cookies left? If you do, I want three boxes!"

Looking embarrassed, he handed over the cookies to the old lady and told her to keep her money.

"Thank you kind sir.. er... maam?" The lady was sort of confused.

Koki smile and explained. "It's sir. And I'm just doing some guy's dare."

"Well, thank you again."

"No problem. No problem at all." He said as he thought about the upcoming stunt he had to pull. He knew that he had to somehow convince the students of Meio High to vote for him and Tanpopo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There! Look Poplar! I'm finished with my costume! It's pretty isn't it?" Tanpopo asked Poplar while holding the green dress with flowers on it up in the air. The fox yipped with agreement. "I'm going to put it in the closet where Koki won't see it. Hehe... I want it to be a surprise."

knock knock

She opened the door and Koki came in. Tanpopo threw her arms around him. "You're back!"

He chuckled and returned her hug. "Yep. And guess what? Ryusaki was such a coward that he didn't even have the guts to dress up but I still have to do one other thing. Actually, we both have to."

Tanpopo looked confused. "We? What are we supposed to do?"

"We have to become the king and queen of the dance."

A hit of deja vu encountered Tanpopo. 'It's like that dream I had...' she thought. Shakily she asked, "And if Ryusaki wins, I have to stay with him?"

"Yes but I won't let that happen. Even if he does win, there's no reason for you to be with him. I just wanna show him that we are destined for each other and that nothing will ever break us apart. Don't you agree?"

She gazed into his eyes. "Yes Koki, I agree with you completely. I love you."

"I love you, too."

"So, what are you going to be Koki?"

"I decided to become a gardener. I mean, I can't think of anything else. What do you think?"

Thinking about her costume, Tanpopo replied, "I think that it'll go well, don't ya think?"

"You haven't told me what you're dressing up as."

"It's a surprise silly," she said with a sly smile.

"But that's not fair! I told you mine!" He pouted.

Tanpopo didn't say anything. All she could do was be happy and hoping that her parents would be proud of how mature she had become.

"Ow!" She had accidentally tripped on Koki's foot. She knocked him down to get even. 'So much for mature, but that's okay...' she thought cheerfully.

"You are gonna get it Tanpopo!" Koki said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Uh oh! Nonononononono!" she squealed as he came over and began tickling her once again. "Leave me alone. Hahahahaha! Koki, I can't take it anymore! You know what happened last time this occurred!"

Koki looked down at her. "Well, I did sort of like what happened the last time... Didn't you?"

"KOKI!!!!" Tanpopo whined as he tickled her once more and soon her voice couldn't be heard. Koki was preventing that from happening.

When she caught her breath, she said, "Oh you dork! Taking advantage of me 'cause I love you? How mean. Hehe.."

"Don't make me do something even much better than the last." He warned. Tanpopo giggled and said playfully, "Oh just shut up and go to sleep. Just because I'm not as vain as Tsuki doesn't mean that I don't need my beauty's sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow don't we?"

"Of course. Goodnight my love."

"Night Ko...zZzZzZzZzZz......"

"Heh, idiot."
