Chapter Ten: A Chapter that has no Title!
Cat yawned as she trudged downstairs pulling her green hair into a ponytail. She could hear the discussions of Kira and Kouji along with the grumbles of Takuya. She couldn't help but laugh recalling how long it took to find Tails and Takuya yesterday. The two had ran through the park three times before Takuya calmed down. Actually he hadn't exactly calmed down yet. He was still pretty annoyed. The young girl frowned again remembering what day it was. Today was tech run still but tonight was the first performance. She sighed slightly grabbing her normal chocolate milk as the four children walked outside waiting for Hex's mom to pick them up. Kira looked at the sky yawning slightly before glancing at Cat.
"Today's your performance right?" Cat nodded looking at her lazily sitting on the curb still half a sleep. Kouji looked at Kira curiously as Kira continued to speak more or less explaining it to the two boys. "See remember all that stuff we had to watch yesterday? That was the show the camp puts on at the end of the session. They do two performances so Tonight's the first one. That also means that Cat, Tails and Hex will be staying after camp which means so will we."
The two boys blinked as a car pulled up. Cat got to her feet as the door opened the girl climbing into the car sitting next to Tails and Hex. Kira followed her with Kouji and Takuya though Tails scooted away from Takuya. Seeing as he was still kind of mad at her. The car ride was silent seeing as everyone was still partially asleep. When they pulled up to the theater the group walked inside signing in and doing all that stuff. Kouji glanced around mostly seeing where the vocal solo girls were to make sure they weren't plotting anything. Unfortunately he was not aware of the scheme they had already made, oh yes he was in for some torture! A few counselors and campers waved to the group as Cat fell back to sleep using Kouji's shoulder as a pillow. Kira was staring off into space while Hex listened to 'Good Charlotte' as usual. Tails and Takuya had seemed to make up as they were both talking about some boss to beat in 'Final Fantasy X'. Yes, everything was rather peaceful. Kouji looked up nudging Cat gently as the counselors began to explain what they would be doing. The young girl awoke groggily as she rubbed her eyes listening at the same time. They were going to do the tech run again, in the afternoon they'd do it again and maybe a few more onstage classes. Kouji and Takuya watched as Kay's kids went onstage. Kouji sighed seeing Cat resuming her nap again still using Kouji as a pillow. Takuya grinned at his friend planning many ways to tease him later. As the tap class went up Kouji woke Cat up, again. She blinked still half asleep as Hex pulled her backstage. The other children watched as the vocal majors went onstage and, just as before Pat came up to Kouji and Takuya.
"Hey you two sorry to bother you all again but Kayla's isn't going to be here for the first performance so we were wondering if you wanted to fill in for her Kouji." Kouji sighed shrugging slightly as Pat grinned before looking at Takuya. "And I figured you'd want to be a muscle man again, right?" Takuya grinned nodding, see he had found filling in for someone fun rather then Kouji who hated it. Kira smiled as she watched the two anime characters follow Pat backstage to help out. She and Tails then watched as the skit they were in started. The morning continued as such and there was a great wave of cheers when the children were released to lunch. Cat, Kira and Hex ran ahead not wanting to get stuck in a long line while Tails and the two anime characters sat down.
"Ug, today's gonna be long," Tails stated stretching slightly as she sat down. "Heh we all gotta stay after camp."
"Yea Kira told us about that. Why do we have to stay anyways?"
"Oh it's a tradition of Hex, Cat and mine. We did it the first year and well, we've been doing it ever since. Heh it's easier for our parents too, they don't have to worry about driving us back here." Tails stated answering Takuya's question sorting through her lunch bag tossing the two-digimon boys sandwiches. Everything was quiet as Cat, Kira and Hex returned though Hex was staring at his steak suspiciously. You see, Hex did not want another pepper in his sandwich and with his luck there was a likely chance that there was a pepper. Oh how he hated peppers! Kira yawned a bit before tossing Takuya and Kouji two cans of coke though, she kinda hit Takuya in the face. Yes this caused Takuya and Kira to get into a fight. Cat sighed eating her sandwich but stopped turning her head as a pale blue blur ran passed her snatching her plushie.
"Katrina get back here!" The green haired child screamed taking off after the shorter Chinese child. Kouji watched them as Tony skipped over smiling evilly sitting down next to Kouji though blinked watching Cat chase Katrina. Tails shook her head glancing at Hex as the two got up. They then walked over to where the two were running. Takuya watched as Hex and Tails both stuck their arms out Katrina whizzing under them and then the two grabbing and restraining Cat. Cat glared as Katrina grinned plopping down next to Kira hugging the white fluff ball plushie known as Mokona. Everyone laughed as the children ate and talked and in Hex and Cat's case argued. Tony eventually joined them smiling evilly. Kouji inched away from her knowing she was plotting something. And her plotting normally involved tormenting him.
"Hey Takky, Kira I got a funny idea for the Beach play! I mean if you wanna do it. I already told Missy and she said we could do it if you two wanted to." The two said children looked at Tony curiously. The girl grinned gesturing them to follow her since she didn't want the others to hear. Everyone watched as they walked away Tony whispering to them the idea. Immediately the two were laughing nodding their heads. The group blinked as the three ran off saying they'd be right back. Everyone returned to their lunches slowly still wondering what just happened. And of course as usual Hex choked on his steak because of a pepper. Everything was remotely calm… until Tony, Takuya and Kira returned.
"What was that all about?" Cat asked curiously as Tony grinned
"You'll see…" Everyone stared though since they knew it involved Takuya and Kira, they were safe. Though, Kouji was staring at Tony with a wry look. He knew she was plotting something, was he paranoid? Oh no, for we all know Tony to well and we know she is going to find some way to torture Kouji! Hehe poor Kouji.
"Kouji?" Kouji snapped out of his thoughts as Takuya waved a hand in front of his friends face blinking. Kouji blinked slightly having zoned out turning his head hearing the others talking about anime characters and such.
"So, whose your favorite anime character Cat?" Tony asked as Cat gave a small shrug thinking to herself.
"Well, I guess if I really had to choose I'd would say… I donno I guess Kouji," she stated somewhat forgetting that the actual Kouji was sitting right next to her. Takuya gave a small snicker choosing this time to tease his friends.
"Is that why you fell asleep on him this morning Cat?" Cat blushed lightly as everyone laughed Kouji shooting Takuya a small glare. The Goggle-Head grinned as Tony laughed her head off.
"You fell asleep on him! Oh that's priceless, Cat's gotta crush on Kouji!" the girl shouted as Cat shot Tony a glare.
"I do not! And you shouldn't talk, you have a crush on Kouichi!" Tony blushed greatly as Kouji spit/choked on his soda (seeing as he was taking a sip at the time). Kira looked at him hitting the bandana-wearing boy as he recovered looking at Tony.
"You like my brother?" Oh yes, even though Kouji had only known Kouichi for a short while in the Digital World he still had to act protective. After all that's what brothers do, it was their duty. Tony smiled sheepishly thinking for a moment before quickly getting up and running for her life. Yes the young girl feared Kouji would chase her around. Cat and Tails glanced at Kouji who seemed to still be shocked that Tony like his slightly older brother. Takuya snickered as Kouji stared at where Tony had been moments ago. Lunch continued rather calmly though Kouji remained shocked. After lunch had ended the children all returned to the theatre. Takuya yawned lazily as they began a run-through again. Cat sighed leaning back in her chair yawning greatly as Tails added to her homemade manga. Kira was trying to steal Hex's headphones and Hex was trying to keep his head phones. Kouji stared off into space as Takuya did his best not to fall asleep. After Kay's boring major was done the tap class went up and then Cat and Hex hopped on stage for their major. The children watched as Pat snuck over to them pulling Kouji up before Takuya and Kira both grinning as the three walked backstage. Tony grinned at Takuya and Kira as Missy gave them a few directions while Tony and the other surfer forced Kouji to wear the Hawaii shirt again. The vocal majors all walked off stage Cat and Hex saluting their friends as they ran back to their seats. And so the Beach play began as Kira and Takuya prepared for their improv act. Kouji groaned slightly as he was dragged onstage and this time he was forced to do a surfer accent, which made everyone crack up though it was visible Kouji's eye was twitching. But, hey he did a very good accent! After the three surfers walked off stage the muscle men walk on stage and after them Kira and Takuya both grinned. Kouji stared at them curiously as Missy gave them the signal. They nodded at each other as Takuya screamed running onstage Kira chasing him with a bat she got from nowhere.
"Come back here you!" She shouted as Takuya and her ran around the confused Beach patrol kids (though they knew about this newly added part). Everyone laughed as Takuya dived behind a beach patrol child who happened to be dressed as a pirate.
"Arg, what do you think yer doing?" The pirate patrol child (also known as Caitlin) asked shaking a fake hook at Kira who was approaching with the bat.
"I'm gonna kill you!" She shouted as she swung the bat both Caitlin and Takuya ducking.
"Dude, I didn't do anything!" Takuya shouted in a fake surfer accent though resisted the urge to laugh as he ran away again Kira chasing him. He dived quickly behind Cathy using her as a shield as Cathy too fought the urge to laugh.
"You scoundrel! You didn't pay for lunch!" Kira shouted. Takuya struck a comedic thinking pose before snapping.
"Oh yea… But it was like Dewey's turn to pay." Takuya stated but yelped as Kira pretended to hit him with the bat. Takuya yelped stumbling backwards relieved Kira had good reflexes. Kouji cracked up back stage watching as Takuya ran away from Kira again the two running around the beach patrols. The head blinked watching them before sticking a foot out tripping Takuya and then Kira who landed on top of Takuya.
"Do you have any Beach tags?" He asked simply as Takuya blinked as did Kira. "No tags, leave the beach now!"
Takuya blinked as Kira stood up brushing herself off. The Goggle-Head frowned staying on the ground. Tony smiled slightly walking onstage blinking slightly before looking at Takuya and pointing. "Dude! Where have you been? We've been lookin' all over for you! Guys I like found him!"
"I'm saved!" The brunette shouted hugging Tony who blinked again as Kouji and Davis (the other surfer kid) poked their heads out of the curtains "That crazy girl was like totally gonna kill me cause Dewey forgot to pay the bill!"
"Whoops, my bad," Davis stated smiling sheepishly as he walked over to Kira pretending to pay her. Kira nodded grinning slightly as she skipped of stage. Kouji stared at them all as Missy whispered to him telling him something to say though Kouji hated having to talk in the surfer accent.
"But, dude, you went missin' yesterday, where were you?"
"Wild Wood man, they've got a killer surf there! Great waves." Takuya grinned as Davis tapped Kouji lightly the two walking off stage. Tony grinned following them with her surfboard as Takuya pulled his goggles over his head running after them. "Dude wait up! Don't leave me behind again!"
Cat, Hex, Tails and the rest of the camp were laughing like heck as Takuya and Kira gave each other high-fives grinning. Kouji shook his head as he sat backstage with Tony and Davis the two trying to help Kouji memorize the lines (seeing as he had to fill in during the performance that night). Once the beach play ended the children all came out from backstage as the dance majors went on. Cat smiled high-fiving each of her friends as they passed her. Tails congratulated as Hex just gave a thumbs up before zoning out to his CD player (like usual). They ran through the remainder of the performance a few times before camp finally ended. However the group all remained in the theatre as most of the children went home to prepare for the performance that night.
"Okay now what?" Hex asked as he looked at his friends. Everyone thought for a moment before Kira spoke grinning.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Everyone murmured sounds of agreements as they sat in chairs. Tony did 'doggie doggie diamond' to decide who would go first. Cat smirked slightly as it was decided she'd go first. The young green-haired girl looked around before looking at Tails grinning evilly.
"Tails Truth or Dare!"
"Um, dare." Tails smiled as Cat held her chin in thought for a moment before she spoke.
"Okay, I dare you too…" Everyone listened intently as Cat turned her eyes onto Takuya smiling more evilly then before. "I dare you to kiss Takuya, on the lips!"
Both Takuya and Tails blushed greatly while everyone laughed hard. Cat grinned looking at the two saying they had to do it. Tails looked down at her hands blushing greatly before she stood up. Everyone watched as she leaned forward towards Takuya (who had been sitting in the seat behind her). Takuya felt his cheeks become hotter and hotter as Tails squeezed her eyes shut gently kissing Takuya on his lips. Everyone was silent as Tails pulled away blushing like mad as was Takuya. There was a small squeal from both Tony and Kira while Hex, Cat and Kouji laughed. Tails sat beck down staring at the ground her face three shades of red.
'Oh my god, I just kissed Takuya! Dammit Cat I am going to have my revenge!' The young girl thought before calming down clearing her throat. She scanned the victims though she knew she couldn't choose Cat, yet. "Okay, um, Tony Truth or Dare."
"Truth," Tony stated simply as Tails thought for a moment. Hex grinned leaning over whispering something into her ear. Tails gave a small chuckle before looking at Tony.
"Okay, Tony do you really like Kouichi?"
"… Yes," she muttered though they were all thankful Kouji didn't have drink this time, though he looked about ready to chase Tony around. Tony 'eep'-ed slightly seeing the look on the Loners face quickly changing the subject. "Uh, Takuya Truth or Dare!"
"Dare," the Goggle-Head stated simply still blushing lightly. Tony held her chin in thought as Tails bounced slightly having a good idea. Tony looked at her as the girl whispered the dare into her ear. Tony fought back a laugh as she dared Takuya.
"O-okay, Takky I dare you to… To run around the theatre shouting 'I love pink leather!'"
Takuya stared at them dumbfounded as everyone cracked up. Cat grinned nudging Takuya telling him he had to do it. He stared at them all before gulping as he stood up. Everyone watched as Takuya walked to the top of the theatre. He took a deep breath before he began to run shouting 'I love pink leather!' at the top of his lungs. Some of the remaining campers turned to stare as Pat fell over on stage laughing his head off watching Takuya. Cat fell out of her chair as Kira buried her face into the red chair. Tails giggled none stop as Hex laughed hard. Tony snickered none stop as Kouji at first fought back her laughter, but then he broke out laughing. Takuya couldn't help but laugh as well as he ran deciding to start flinging his arms in the air like a lunatic. Stacy walked inside with Christina but the two stared at Takuya who ran passed them still shouting 'I love pink leather!' Tony currently had joined Cat on the ground as Hex held his sides as he laughed. Tails was laughing into the seat her face fairly red and even the Loner's face was red with laughter. Takuya laughed as he stopped joining the others though he was laughing hysterically as well.
"What was that all about?" Christina asked as everyone recovered from their laughing fit.
"Truth or Dare!" the group shouted as the counselors and other campers all nodded understanding. Takuya sighed slightly as Kouji wiped tears from his eyes regaining his normal look though everyone knew he had just cracked up.
"Okay, Kouji Truth or Dare!" Takuya asked as Kouji gave a small shrug.
"Truth."
"Why do you care so much about that bandana of yours?" Takuya asked before the others could give ideas for questions. Kouji blinked looking at him before shrugging lightly.
"Well, when I was a kid I met this kid in the park... I only really knew him for a few minutes but, he somehow managed to break through my catiousness and became my friend... He gave me this bandana saying that it was so I always knew I had a friend by me..." Everyone was silent as Kouji looked at each shrugging lightly. "I guess it's a corny reason…"
"Nah not really." Takuya smiled lightly as the children decided to change the subject though... What he said reminded Takuya of a distant memory. "Okay Kouji pick your victim!"
"Um, Kira Truth or Dare."
"Dare!" Kira stated grinning as everyone thought. Hex grinned leaning over whispering something to Kouji who immediately smirked. Kira blinked looking at him as he gave her the dare.
"I dare you to go up to Steve and shout 'Superman sucks!'" Kira raised an eyebrow at him not seeing what the big deal was. However you who have gone to Tomato Patch know very well that Steve is a big Superman fan. Cat gave her cousin a solemn salute with Tails as Kira walked over to Steve. The counselor looked up as Kira tapped him.
"What is it Kira?" He asked as Kira cleared her throat before speaking.
"Superman sucks!" Ah yes it was a hilarious thing watching as an anime vein appeared on Steve's face. She blinked before yelping as she quickly ran away for dear life Steve running after her. Everyone shook their heads as Cat spoke up.
"Well, since Kira will be running for awhile I'll go for her. Hex Truth or Dare" Cat spoke as Hex thought for a moment.
"Um, dare."
"Okay, um," Cat thought for a moment as her and the others formed a huddle. Hex stared at them as he watched them debate over dares. Finally it they broke the huddle looking at Hex. "Okay, we all dare you to frolic on the stage seeing the Barney song!"
Hex's eye twitched slightly though he knew Cat's would be twitching soon too. Hex sighed standing up walking onstage. Pat stared at him before stepping aside knowing it was another dare. Cat and the others watched as Hex began to frolic singing. "I love you, you love me, we're as happy as can be. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say 'I love you too'?"
Thinking back on this, that songs kind of wrong… Cat's eye was twitching madly as was Takuya's. Kira burst out laughing as she walked back inside with Steve both acting like nothing had happened. Hex stopped frolicking putting his hands behind his head as he walked back to his seat acting like everything was normal. "Okay, Cat truth or Dare."
"Dare," Cat smiled. She always picked dare. Hex grinned looking at her evilly.
"Okay Cat, I dare you to run around the theatre screaming 'the monkeys are coming! The monkeys are coming!'" Why was everyone daring each other to run around the theatre you might ask? Because it was just funny! Cat laughed lightly getting her feet as she cleared her throat. Everyone watched as she began to run around the theatre screaming that the monkeys were coming along with a few other random phrases she thought of. Everyone laughed as the green haired girl skipped back sitting down again grinning. She then turned looking at her victims. "Kouji, Truth or Dare!"
"Truth," the Loner stated simply as Cat thought for a moment. Tony whispered something in her ear as she nodded.
"Okay, Kouji what's you greatest fear?" Takuya looked at his friend as Kouji looked down at the ground mumbling something. Cat blinked looking at him straining her ear to hear him. "Come again?" Kouji mumbled again as Cat frowned.
"C'mon spit it out!" Everyone shouted as Kouji kept his eyes locked on the ground.
"…Bunnies…" There was silence at this as everyone stared in shock. The Loner, the Legendary Warrior of Light, was afraid of bunnies? Everyone stared in shock before everyone burst out laughing. Kouji blushed lightly as he stared at the ground. "Shut up…"
(GG: n.n my friend and me made up that Kouji was afraid of bunnies and Takky was afraid of kitties a while ago! Right Usa-chan?)
The children played a few more rounds of Truth or Dare before they became bored of it. Hex began to teach Takuya how to play 'Magic' while Kira and Tails chatted. Tony was talking to Jen and Christina seeming to be planning something. Cat had gone off to the side practicing her form for karate. Kouji watched her a bit curiously though laughed slightly seeing her mess up. She looked up shooting him a glare as she started over the Loner walking over to her. She didn't seem to notice as she continued to do her form. Kouji grabbed her wrist slightly causing the girl to jump as he laughed slightly pulling her arm into a high-block instead of the low-block she had been doing. Cat blinked looking at him as he gave a small shrug.
"You were doing it wrong, it kinda bugs me when I see someone doing their form wrong." There was silence between the two as Kouji glanced at her letting go of her wrist. "What belt are you?"
"I'm a purple belt in Tae Kwon Doe, I could be a blue belt but I'm missing a lot of class's cause of camp." Cat sighed slightly missing karate as she continued to try and practice her form. Kira glanced up nudging Tails quickly pointing to the two as Kouji helped Cat doing the same form with her. After a while Pat came inside shouting that the pizza had arrived the few children that remained grinned walking out side grabbing slices and cola. The children all sat down outside under a tree though Cat blinked seeing Kouji hadn't grabbed a slice. Hex looked at the Loner as he swallowed a mouthful of pizza.
"Kouji aren't ya hungry?" Hex asked blinking slightly as Kouji looked at everyone a bit sheepishly.
"I don't like pizza."
"WHAT?" everyone shouted turning to look at Kouji who stared intently at the ground. Pat looked over walking over to them laughing lightly.
"Eh he doesn't have to eat pizza if he doesn't want to. You like Chinese food Kouji?" Kouji nodded slightly as Pat grinned gesturing for him to follow him. "Okay then, me and the other counselors got Chinese food, you can have some."
Kouji nodded though was blushing lightly scratching the back of his head nervously as he followed Pat. Cat blinked as Takuya shrugged it off eating his second slice while Kira chugged down three cups of coke. Kouji returned with a box of rice and chopsticks eating slightly though hit Tony's hand when she tried to steal some. While Tails grinned stealing a pair of spare chopsticks as her and Hex began sword fought with them. Slowly the other campers returned as the pizza eaters cleaned up their mess grabbing their bags and following everyone else to the classroom they were going to be in for the performance. Tails yawned as they sat down in the desk though her eye twitched as she watched little kids but on make up (very badly might I add). Cat shook her head as a little came up to her asking if she wanted the small girl to do her makeup. Cat stared at her though politely said no though wondered how this little girl knew her. Takuya sat down stretching lightly but blinked as he watch Tony and several other girls chase a boy around.
"Help me!" The boy shouted diving behind Takuya as the girls approached with… Makeup. Kouji sighed sweat dropping as both Takuya and the other boy ran away as the girls chased after them threatening to put make up on them. Everything was hectic as the children got their green t-shirts with 'tomato patch' written in white letters a picture of a sad and happy tomato on it. It was obvious that this was their 'uniform' seeing as they had to wear it. Kira sighed stretching slightly but blinked as Bert tossed her, Kouji and Takuya t-shirt smiling.
"You guys are kinda part of the show, you need to wear shirts too."
The three smiled as they pulled the shirts over the their other shirts. Kouji sighed but gave a quick yelp as someone snatched his bandana off his head. He turned around sharply looking at Tony who was holding his bandana leaning against Jen who held her guitar both grinning evilly. "No way in hell."
"Eh, if you want these back…" Tony stated pulling out his D-Scan so now she held both his digivice and bandana. "… You got no choice."
"You are evil…" Was all the Loner stated as he shot the two death glares as they grinned pulling him off to the stage. Cat and the others laughed watching them pull the poor Loner away while Takuya still ran from the crazy girls.
"Oh you convinced him to play," Christina blinked as the children came out into the hallways linking the classroom to the stage.
"No, they black mailed me…" Kouji stated simply as Christina shrugged.
"Eh, both work. Anyways just to fill you in, I was allowed to pick three kids from my class to open up the performance while Kay's major set up. And I chose Tony and Jen cause they were the best, and you because you were great when you performed." Christina stated simply as Kouji shot the three girls death glares as they pulled him back stage.
"We'd like to welcome you to day to the 2004 Tomato Patch festival of the arts performance. We hope you enjoy the following performance. We'd like to start things off with three er well technically two of Christina's vocal solo kids and one child who originally started off coming to visit but he and the two other children that visited this camp have become apart of our camp and performance. So with out further adieu we'd like to introduce Tony Hanyou, Jen Wilson and Kouji Minamoto."
Kouji cursed mentally praying no digimon fans would be out there though they heard someone muttering to their friend about him and digimon. Christina gestured to the three to follow her on stage as Kouji gulped. He watched as Tony smiled waving slightly to her family as it was decided she'd go first. "Hey everyone, I'm Tony and I will be singing '1985' by Bowling for Soup'."
Now of course you readers have already read the lyrics a chapter or two back, and if not go back and read 'em cause I will not repeat them! Kouji watched as Tony sung and when she finished was greeted by waves of applauses as her parents cheered for her. She smiled walking back over to Kouji as Jen went into center stage gulping slightly. Christina took her place behind the piano as Jen introduced herself. "Hi my name's Jen Wilson and I will be singing 'My Reflection'. Which you all know is sung by Christina Aguilera and from the movie 'Mulan'."
Jen gulped shaking off her nervousness as Christina began to play the song on the piano. Kouji watched as Jen took a deep breathe before she began to sing hitting her notes perfectly. It was obvious to Kouji why her and Tony were the ones picked to sing. They were the best. He had already heard Tony's strong beautifully belting alto voice. Now it was time to hear Jen's soft, yet strong and equally beautiful soprano voice. The song ended as Jen too was met by a wave of applause. Kouji stared at them all as Jen's family applauded her. His eyes scanned the audience as he spotted Cat's family as well as Kira's. He could also see Hex's and Tails's parents and siblings. Suddenly the Loner felt homesick wishing his family could be here as well though he knew they couldn't be here. Jen smiled walking over to Kouji who was attempting to stay hidden in the curtain. Tony and Jen sighed as they pushed the boy out. Kouji felt himself blush lightly as all eyes fell on him as Tony whispered from backstage to introduce himself. She frowned as Jen whispered that he was being shy again.
"You guys actually convinced him to come out?" Stacy's voice sounded from over the microphone as Kouji shot Tony and Jen death glares.
"They blackmailed me!" Tony and Jen whistled innocently as Marina laughed over the mic.
"Oh that works too!" Kouji's eye twitched slightly. Was everybody out to get him? Tony grinned as she nudged him saying he should introduce himself. The realization that there was an actual audience in front of him brought Kouji back to his shy self. Tony couldn't help but laugh at this, she really never imagined that the Loner would be shy like this.
"My name's Kouji and I'm kinda being forced to do this.." Kouji mumbled though luckily the mics were strong enough to pick him up. Kouji gulped as Jen handed him her guitar as Stacy's voice sounded over the mic again.
"Kouji is one of the three children who visited our camp this year. Now normally we wouldn't allow them to take part in the performance but they are helping with one of the shows." It was just to clarify why he was there. Kouji gulped as Christina told him to say what song he was going to sing. The young boy thought for a moment or two before he spoke stating what song he would say though spoke softly.
"Um, I am going to sing a song called 'With Broken Wings'. Its Japanese though so, I doubt any of you will understand what I'm saying." He gulped slightly looking at the ground gently strumming the strings of the guitar and just like usual went off into his own little world, though this time he was glad. He really didn't want to sing in front of this crowd and be aware of them watching him. He smiled as he played and sung though Tony had to blink as she watched him with Jen. Kouji had always liked playing 'With Broken Wings' though he enjoyed playing it on his electric guitar better. Suddenly Kouji thought about his twin, Kouichi. He wasn't sure why but the song reminded him of Kouichi. He shut his eyes silently as he stopped playing being welcomed by a wave of applause but also something else.
"Go Kouji!" He opened his eyes spotting first Tanya sitting in a seat behind the break though she hadn't been the one to shout to him. Takuya grinned waving to his friend Kira clapping next to him. They had snuck out after learning that Kouji would be forced to sing (and after Kira rescued Takuya from the girls). Kouji smiled glad to see his friends as Marina spoke over the mic.
"Hey what are you doing out of the classroom?"
"Uh-oh we're busted!" Kira stated as Takuya and Kira quickly yelped running away as Bert ran after them. The children on stage laughed as they walked off stage Tony and Jen saying Kouji and he saying they had done good too. They walked back to the classroom laughing slightly seeing Kira and Takuya getting lectured by Bert (though he wasn't really being serious). They all smiled as the kids hung out back stage. Vocal majors looked up as they were called up. Kouji and the others wished them luck as Hex and Cat left. Kira talked to some of the campers laughing slightly as Takuya was once again chased by the girls again as they threatened to put make up on him. Tails shook her head watching as the girls finally caught Takuya and she could here him struggling to get free from them. That is until they gave him Twizlers. Yea then he just sat calmly and ate the candy. Tony laughed slightly as she pulled out her camera taking a picture of Takuya before he was able to wash the make up off. Everyone was hyper as Tony and Kira dragged Takuya away when it was time to get ready for 'The Beach' play. It was hectic back stage as intermission came about. Cat skipped outside with Tails and Kira to get some food. Takuya and Hex played 'Magic' and Kouji… Well…
"Oh my god! What are you doing to him?" Cat shouted as they walked back inside holding candy. Kouji was surrounded by girls his eye twitching. Tony grinned still holding his bandana and D-Scan for ransom as another girl braided Kouji's hair. So far they had put his hair down, into pig-tails, braided pig-tails, an elegant bun, a high ponytail, two little buns that were at the top of his head (like Miaka's from 'Fushigi Yugi'), the hairdo Princess Lea has in Star Wars, yea, you name it they were putting his hair into it. And all the while Tony was cackling evilly while snapping pictures Kouji's eye twitching dangerously. Normally he would have put up more of a fight but… Tony still had his precious bandana and D-Scan. Takuya and Hex walked back over wondering what was happening they then stopped. Stared at Kouji and burst out laughing hysterically forcing Kouji's eye twitch more as he kicked Takuya's shin, then Hex's. That didn't stop the two however, they just kept laughing while hoping up and down holding their shins. The evening continued as such until the final act when on. Pat grinned gesturing Takuya, Kouji and Kira to follow him and the other counselors as they came into the theatre standing on the side. The three clapped cheering for their friends as they finished doing the finale all filing onstage for bows.
"Give it up for Kay's Acting Majors!" Marina announced as Kay's majors came onstage everyone clapping and cheering for them. The three children watched as the three gave their bows before heading back into the crowd. Cat and Hex grinned as they walked forward getting ready to bow. "These are Stacy's Vocal Majors!" They bowed as everyone cheered. The children grinned hoping back into the crowd as Tails walked up with a few other kids. "Give a round of applause for the Visual Arts Majors!" The children grinned bowing as they bowed everyone clapping. Tails waved slightly to the others as she skipped back to Hex and Cat. Tony grinned running up with the other children in her major. "Let's here some shouts for Sean, Missy and Dan's Acting Majors!" Again they received applause as the children bowed as the last bunch of kids walked up. "And last but not least, give it up for Marina's Dance Majors!"
The three children clapped but Kira, Kouji and Takuya soon yelped as Bert, Nick and Steve picked them up carrying them onstage. The three blushed greatly as Marina laughed. "And let's most certainly not forget Kira, Takuya and Kouji who helped us all out in this performance!" The three blushed greatly as Cat, Hex and Tails pulled them into the crowd laughing. "We hope you enjoyed our performance, have a nice summer!"
The children all waved as the curtain closed. Cat grinned counting down on her fingers before every single camper screamed. It was a somewhat tradition though they weren't aware of how they began to do it. Takuya laughed as Kouji covered his ears the children all walking backstage together grinning and singing 'Footloose' and other songs. Though they knew they would still have camp tomorrow, they all still acted like it was all over. Kira couldn't help but smile evilly suddenly remembering something… This performance had been taped.
