Tease Me, Tease Me Not - Chapter 6- Second Chances
Here we are at Chapter 6. My internet connection went down today for some reason .:Pokes the Computer:. So in the mean time I started to write Chapter 7 (I got about half way done). We got massive thunderstorms here so I had to shut off the off the computer for a little while. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this Chapter.
P.S. You guys got lucky, I wasn't going to update until Friday...
"What a great show of team work!" Stacy shouted.
"Just untie me from this idiot." Yuna said. Tidus wanted to trip Yuna so badly at that moment but remembered the truths: "And no more tripping! It hurts."
He just sighed and walked over to Stacy and allowed her to untie the rope. Shortly after, Rikku and Gippal came walking into the finish line, "Meanies!" Rikku shouted.
"We maybe meanies, but we're soon to be clean meanies!" Yuna grinned, "Why don't we go for a walk and find Paine?" Rikku nodded and headed with Yuna around the outside of the maze.
After they were out of hearing range of the boys Rikku asked, "So Yuna, how did you and Tidus manage to beat Gippal and I? We're the best team there is and we only hit a few dead ends. Plus you to hate each other so that couldn't have made it any easier. I just don't understand how you could have done it. Did you cheat or something?"
"Nope. We just agreed on the same thing for once. We decided to call a truths. We're still gonna fight and all, but we can still function as a team. And chances are, that once we leave this Yevan forsaken 'friendship' camp, we'll go back to the same old pranks again."
Rikku seemed a bit puzzled by this statement. She just looked to the clouds and continued to walk. "Hey look, there's Paine!" she shouted all of a sudden.
"Wait Rikku! Come with me quickly!" Yuna said as she hauled Rikku of to behind a bush, "Watch this…"
Before Rikku could say anything Paine came into hearing distance, "Stupid squirrel of nutty-acorn goodness! Feel the awesome might of my STICK POKE OF DOOM!"
With that said, Paine ran off into the opposite direction, chasing after the squirrel with her stick in hand. Rikku and Yuna had lost all power over their laughing. "Oh my gosh! What was up with that! Paine is insane!" Rikku said in between laughs.
"Isn't she? I heard her earlier. She was still chasing after the same squirrel!" Yuna said. The two laughed as they watched Paine chase the little squirrel back and forth. Eventually the squirrel grew tired of Paine and climbed up a tree.
"Quiet down, Rikku! She's coming this way! Don't laugh…"
Paine sighted Yuna and Rikku and started to walk towards them. "Hey, who won the race?" She said calmly. Yuna and Rikku couldn't hold it in. They burst out laughing. "What did I say?" Paine asked.
-------
Around an hour later, Lulu and Wakka appeared out of one of the exits to the finish line. Wakka walked up to Gippal "Congratulations!"
"For what?" Gippal asked.
"Beating Lu and I to the finish line and winning the race!"
"You're only half right. Rikku and I might have beaten you two but we didn't win the race." Gippal looked over at Tidus.
"You're joking, ya? Tidus and Yuna actually beat the two of you!" Wakka stood in shock and walked over to Tidus, "I'm not sure how you did it, but good job, brudda!"
"Thanks."
"But what I don't understand is how the worst team in the world, managed to beat the greatest team there ever was. It just doesn't make sense…" Wakka asked, still puzzled about the whole event.
"Ten minutes everyone! Then we'll head back for camp!" Stacy shouted.
"I'll fill you guys in tonight at dinner." Tidus started to leave towards the campsite and was soon followed by the rest of his follow campers.
THE NEXT MORNING
"I still can't believe that you and Yuna beat Gippal and Rikku yesterday. It just doesn't seem humanly possible. But I guess since Rikku tripped, you guys just got lucky," Wakka said as the group headed to their first challenge of the day.
"Before we continue everyone I have an announcement to make," Stacy said as she halted the group, "That was an amazing show of team work yesterday! I'm so proud of you all! As you most likely already know, your school is assigning us to grade your progress here with points. The group with the most points will be receiving a cruise around Spira, for what I am guessing is ten days. After yesterday's performance, I have decided to award you all with 100 points! Which is the highest you can receive at any given time."
The group cheered, "Now here's what's going to happen," Stacy continued, "Today you will all be reattempting the challenges you failed the first day you were here, which in your case is all of them. Keep working together because today I will be awarding more points. You will face as many challenges as possible; the more challenges you complete, the more points you will receive. Got it?"
The group nodded, "Good. First off we have the pole!"
"Yay! It's bouncy, bouncy time!" Rikku said as she hoped over to the trampoline.
"Wait Rikku!" Tidus shouted, "We need to figure out what we're gonna do first."
"He's right," everyone snapped their heads to Yuna, who was standing behind them with her arms crossed. They were puzzled that Yuna had actually AGREED with Tidus on something. To be perfectly honest, Tidus was even a little surprised, "We tried jumping on the trampoline last time and it didn't work. We need to come up with something else."
Tidus nodded and added, "It obviously must be something we have to do together. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it into a group challenge…"
The group went deep into thought to try to figure out exactly what it was they were actually suppose to be doing, "Wait a minute," the group looked at Tidus, "What if the trampoline is just a distraction. What if we don't need it at all."
"It's highly possible," everyone looked back at Yuna, "What if we did a huge piggy back, one on top of the other."
"But that might be too much weight on the person on the bottom," Everyone looked back at Tidus.
"True. I've got it! We could make a human pyramid. Heaviest people on bottom and the lightest on top. But getting the last person on top is going to be the hardest part…"
"That's where the trampoline could come into play. They could bounce their way on top with the hula-hoop. Who's the lightest one here?"
"Oh! Me!" Rikku screamed. She was very excited that she would still be able to jump.
"Ok. Who's gonna be on bottom?" Yuna asked.
"Well it would make the most sense if the three guys were on bottom. But that means we don't need one girl." Tidus said.
"I'll support from behind," Paine said uncaringly. The guys made their way to the bottom of the pole.
"You go first Lulu. Put one foot on Gippal's shoulder and one foot on Wakka's shoulder." Paine and Rikku cupped their hands while Lulu put a foot in each hand. They boosted her up high enough so that she could easily step on Gippal and Wakka's shoulders.
"Lower Paine. Rikku's shorter than you, it makes it hard when you're uneven." Lulu said almost losing her balance. She rested her feet on their shoulders while Gippal and Wakka grabbed onto her ankles to help her keep balance, "Your turn Yuna."
The process was repeated with Yuna, only this time she had one foot on Wakka and one foot on Tidus, "Wow Yuna! You're a lot lighter than you look! I thought for sure you'd be heavier than Lulu, but I guess not!" Wakka said. Lulu took this opportunity to dig her heel into Wakka's shoulder pressure point.
"OW! OW! Ok, Ok, I'm sorry, ya!" Wakka said in pain.
Tidus couldn't help but stare up at Yuna's butt, "Tidus, it would make things a lot easier if you weren't staring at my ass." Yuna said. Tidus didn't even notice that Yuna was watching him as he looked at her ass.
Tidus loosened his grip around Yuna's ankle and made his shoulder move up in a jolt. Yuna lost her balance but caught herself before she fell, "Hey! Remember our truths!"
"I don't remember there being anything in our truths against readjusting my shoulder," Tidus said in a sly grin. Yuna gave him an evil glare.
"Everything's set Rikku. Start jumping!" Gippal said.
"Yay! The best part!" Rikku ran for the mini trampoline and started to jump as high as she could. Before long she had enough height to grab her arms around Yuna and Lulu and pull her way up, "Here I go!"
Rikku jumped as high as she could and landed with her arms wrapped around Lulu's shoulders. The pyramid wobbled but Paine was at the bottom to support it. Rikku climbed up and put one foot on Yuna's shoulder and one foot on Lulu. With the hula-hoop in hand, she placed it over the top of the pole. It fell all the way to the ground.
"We did it! We did it!" Rikku said with a shout. She started to jump up and down.
"Stop jumping Rikku! You're making the pyramid unsteady!" Gippal shouted from the bottom, trying desperately to keep his balance. Then the pyramid collapsed.
Everyone came tumbling down. Rikku fell back onto the trampoline, while everyone else either hit the ground or someone else. Wakka rolled over and groaned. "I'm gonna kill you, Rikku," Gippal said as he attempted to get up but failed. Lulu just laid in the grass rubbing the newly developed bump on her head.
Yuna came to and moaned. She heard the ground below her groan and felt it move. She looked down to find that she had fallen on top of Tidus.
Ow…If it hurts this much for me, imagine how horrible he must be feeling.
Tidus opened his eyes to find Yuna on top of him shifting her weight.
Holy shit! What happened? And why is Yuna on top of me! The last thing I remember is getting the hula-hoop over the pole. We must have collapsed. Yuna must have fallen on me. I wonder if she's hurt…
"Are you alright?" Tidus asked.
Yuna looked up at Tidus, "Ya, I'm ok. What about you?"
"The most I got was a bump on the head. But atleast we did finished the challenge."
"Ya, one step closer to that cruise. I'm gonna have to get Rikku back for this. Maybe a fake snake in her sleeping bag will do the trick." The two started to laugh.
"Would you like us to leave you two alone?" Rikku asked. While they had been talking, the group had gotten up and clustered around them. It was then that Yuna and Tidus realized the compromising situation that they were in. They scurried to stand up. Tidus scratched his head with a smile. He and Yuna's faces were bright red.
"She's so heavy that she must have knocked me out." Tidus said.
"Asshole!" Yuna said as she punched Tidus in the shoulder.
"Let's get on with the next challenge…" Tidus said rushing off.
The group continued with challenges for the rest of the day. They successfully completed the stepping stones challenge with piggybacks, the truth game and the human knot.
"This is the most improvement I have seen in all my years at this camp! You guys have a real good chance of winning at the award ceremony tomorrow…" Stacy said.
"You mean camp's over?" Lulu started to get excited.
"Yes, tonight is your last night." Everyone looked at each other anticipating getting out of this hell hole.
"Speaking of which, it's getting late. We should be heading back to the camp to make dinner." Stacy said as she headed back to camp.
The group sat down for dinner and finished off all their chores, "Alright happy campers! It's 8:55! Five minutes till bed time!" Stacy shouted, "I'll see you all in the morning!"
AWARDS CERAMONY
"Welcome everyone! I trust the past few days have been enriching. This ceremony will not be long, we will just be announcing a few awards and you'll be on the bus home before you know it." The school principal said getting nothing but moans in response. The groups had been ordered to sit together for the awards ceremony. The banquet hall was huge, filled up with chairs and full of bored students who were dirty and tired from the past few days.
"First off I like to start by saying that I believe this camp has brought out the best in some of you. From what I hear this camp has been a total success. So without further ado I will present the awards. I will ask that the winners come stand on the stage…"
One of the councilors handed the principal an envelope, "First off, the group with the fastest completion of the human knot goes to…group eleven!" The group dragged themselves out of their seats and up to the stage. They didn't seem very excited.
The award ceremony went on for what seemed like hours, passing out senseless awards that no one cared about. Until finally the principal said, "And know for the time everyone has been waiting for! Time to announce the most improved team. To refresh your memory, the winners will be receiving a wonderful cruise around Spira…"
This got everyone in the banquet hall's attention. The principal smiled as he was handed the envelope. It felt like an eternity for him to open it, "Third place goes to…group number thirteen! Second place goes to…group number seven! And finally the moment you all have been waiting for. The team with the most improvement and the winners of the Spira cruise are…"
Tidus, Yuna, Wakka, Rikku, Gippal, and Lulu were all thinking as hard as they could,
Group number three…Group number three…Group number three…
While Paine couldn't have cared either way.
"Group number eight!" A bunch of people jumped up and started to scream in joy.
We lost…
A councilor walked up to the principal and whispered something in his ear, "I'm sorry folks, it seems the person who wrote down the group number has extraordinarily bad handwriting," everyone's attention was back on the principal, "The real winner's of the cruise are…group number three!"
The group jumped up in joy, "I can't believe it! We won!" They all shouted.
Alright! Cruise Time. And they won. It wouldn't have been much fun for later chapters if they hadn't, now would it? I'm off to finish Chapter 7! But before you leave, REVIEW!
