Me: It's once again me, for another fast update, I shall have a poem at the bottom of this page, please tell me which you would prefer…
Kai: Knowing you, you'll probably forget about it.
Me: Who are you again! OH NO! IT'S THE BUNNIES THE PURPLE PLOT BUNNIES! DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF HAND! (Erases Kai, whom screams like a little girl) There, much better (smiles)
Hilary runs up: OH GOD! WHAT HAPPENED KAI! WHERE ARE YOU!
Me: DIE YOU FIEND! (Pulls out machine gun and shoots her so much that no part of her body is whole anymore) HAHAHAH!
Disclaimer: Is this where you're supposed to put something comical? Like the generic "I don't own, but I do own (insert generic petty items)"? Well that's a load of crap, it gets old people, If you can't think of anything original, JUST PUT WHAT YOU DON'T OWN! Like me, I can't think of anything funny right now, so I'LL JUST PUT I DON'T OWN WEIWEI, NYC, GARNET CROW, ANY MUSIC IN GENERAL, AND THE BEYBLADE CHARACTERS! THERE! DON'T HAVE TO MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED!
Chapter 7: The Lingering Fog
Jenn
Weiwei left her party early, so I was worried, and ran up the stairs to the her hotel room. "WEIWEI ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" I saw her crying on her pillow. Weiwei said loudly, but some parts were still inaudible "I…Kai….ME!" and continued to cry. Jenn patted Weiwei's head as she sat down on the other side of the bed, "There there, no need to cry because of that? What happened to the strong Weiwei I used to know, c'mon, look on the bright side, you have lots of friends, I know, how about your regular teenage rebellion?"
Weiwei looked up, stopping her crying "Teenage Rebellion…"
The Next Day, Rei
Today was the day of the field competition in sports. It's Co-ed, and it includes the whole school. The teams were separated into teams of 5, and there were overall many categories. This was a Japanese based school, so many of the events were like that. I look forward to this day every year, and best of all, we got a team of 5, even though Hilary, Tyson, and Kai really aren't a part of our group anymore! Also, considering Field Day was day-long, that meant not having to worry about debate or martial arts today!
As usual, I sported the P.E. Uniform required for Field day, as in dark blue sweatpants (It was fall/winter) and white t-shirt. The girl's were the same, only red pants. Oliver ran up to me as I looked over our chart organizing which events each of the member's of our team was doing, "Hey Rei-sama! So what events are you doing for our team?" I smirked and replied back "Well besides the usual events we all have to participate in, the Ball-rolling contest, the 100M dash, the 150M dash, and all those short distant runs…" "That sounds fun, wait a second, where's everyone else on our team?" I glanced up and looked around, he was right, there was no one on our team but us, "Hm…I think Max said he was going to get new sweatpants (The ones he had from last year were way too small) and I believe Jenn is practicing on her routine for exhibition, and Weiwei…."
Suddenly someone wrapped their arm around my neck, as if to strangle me "Yes?" I looked behind, and saw Weiwei, acting very cheery considering of late events that had happened. "Uhh…yeah, we were just wondering where everyone was, that's all…" I looked down and saw she was wearing blue pants, they weren't even girl sized, they seemed a little big for her I pointed "Why are you wearin…?" The loudspeaker jolted out before I could finish: "Hello Students, we will start the events with the ball rolling contest, I repeat…"
Ball Rolling Contest, Neutral
Rei and Oliver lined up side by side, for they were the partners in this contest. Rei, smirked as they were passed the giant purple ball (It was Oliver's Idea, saying it described everyone on their team well.) for he was champion along with Kai on the ball rolling contest for 5 years in a row.
Oliver, on the other hand…, "Um…Rei-sempai?" "Yeah, what is it?" "I'm not that good at athletic activities…so um..I'm sorry if we lose because of me…" Rei glared at him "Don't. Worry. Just keep on running, and we'll roll it to the finish line in no time." Oliver smiled nervously "Ok…"
The gun banged. And the balls were off (XD). Oliver, who had been worried about falling behind, ran pretty well despite his short legs. Soon Team Purple (Their team) was tied for 1st as they raced along the track, right next to Team Green.
Team Green composed of Kai, Hilary, Tyson, and two other guys. Right now, Kai and Tyson were rolling the ball, both swearing at each other for letting Rei and Oliver catch up to them. Rei glanced at them and looked at Oliver, saying mildly "You take it from here, I'll provide a distraction, okay?" "But I'm not that stro…" "Then I'll just have to roll it for you!" "Wha..?" Rei suddenly pushed with all his strength into the ball, but not holding on. But poor Oliver, on the other hand held on, and was left rolling with the ball as he hit the ground every so often, but he WAS going way faster than Team Green. Rei yelled out "Sorry Oliver!" and then went to work and tripped Tyson, causing the ball to be unbalanced and roll off to the side.
Team Purple's ball meanwhile rolled all the way to the finish line, with Oliver atop it, making a photo finish Team Purple was proud of.
Three-Legged Race
Max and Weiwei, who were tied to each other, looked over as Oliver crossed the finish line. Max shouted "GO OLIVER!" Weiwei nodded in contempt. Max looked at Weiwei, "Why are you wearing boy's pants again?" "Because I feel like it…" "Okay, fine by me." The whistle rang, signaling that they had to line up. Representing their team, Weiwei and Max got in running position, and the gun banged once more.
Weiwei and Max ran magnificently. They were in perfect synchronization, not even whispering under their breathes the foot movements. Team Green However… "LEFT! I SAID LEFT DAMMIT!" Hilary was yelling at one of her lackeys as they walked slowly, well more like Hilary dragging her lackey around the field. Weiwei recognized her lackey as Tomo, a really mean bully from years ago who used to pick on Jenn. Weiwei and Max ran even faster, and finished with their arms raised, making another worthy photo for the record book.
Lunch Break
Oliver smiled as he bit a piece of sushi from his bento box. Him and the others were currently sitting under an old Sakura tree that was planted even before the ones in Washington D.C. "Well, It looks like we got through the races okay, ended up in 2nd though…" Rei said, slightly disappointed. Oliver looked at him "Well, that was only worth 40 of the total score, if we can get out of the Exhibition contests unscathed, we'll end up in first!" "Yeah, but still…" Weiwei punched him lightly on the head "Goofball, with our line up, we're sure to win!"
Exhibition, 1st Contest, Cheerleading
Jenn waved to Weiwei from the left side of the stage. She was wearing a cheerleading uniform, which consisted of different shades of purple. Right next to her was Tomo, who's small petite body gave off an angry manner.
Weiwei whispered to Rei "Think Hilary made Tomo do cheerleading?" Rei nodded sadly, "This won't turn out well.
Jenn went up first, the music of "Matsuri no Jikan" by GARNET CROW started playing. Jenn did a variety of cheerleading moves, along with dancing that seemed to compliment the song's beat well.
Tomo came up after the roar of applause and started cheering to no music whatsoever. If Hilary actually did pay any attention to Tomo, she would no she hated music and cheerleading. Crickets chirped when Tomo finished, pretty much meaning that Jenn won the competition in a landslide.
Exhibition 2nd Contest, Martial Arts
Oliver looked at Weiwei as they entered the outside field "What's the martial arts competition again?" Weiwei sighed, looking over at him "Basically it's breaking a set of board like items, it goes from plywood all the way up to bricks and beyond, don't worry, Rei will win it for us."
Meanwhile Rei looked at his competition, besides one of Kai's lackeys whom no one ever payed attention too, the rest actually looked like they had skulls and fists of steel, no matter, Rei had a secret weapon….
The loudspeaker boomed "Round one…I repeat, round one…Set of plywood…" Rei immediately banged the wood with his the bottom of his fist, breaking it evenly into two pieces. All the other people managed to get it too
"Round two…I repeat…Round two…" And so this went on for about 10 rounds. Most of the competition got booted out, except for that lackey of Kai's. Somehow, he managed to stay in the competition and pass even close to Rei's level. Meanwhile, Rei was suffering hand trouble after he just broke 10 steel plates, which began to wear down his stamina.
"Round 13…I repeat Round 13…" Rei looked down in horror. There were clear panels in front of him, laid out on two bricks. SHOOT! WE HAVE TO BREAK CRYSTAL BOARDS NOW! Rei got woozy, but decided it was time to unleash his secret weapon. He banged the boards with the heel of his foot. "HOLY MOTHER F!" His heel snapped and he was immediately taken to the nurse's office. However, the lackey didn't even start, this made him the winner, because he did not go first and break the blocks of diamond, not crystal.
Exhibition 3rd and 4th Contest, Thrifty Accessory Making
Oliver smiled as he dragged Max to the Home Ec. Room. Max was screaming "HELP! I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS!" Oliver looked back at him, glaring "LISTEN! IT WAS EITHER YOU OR WEIWEI! AND NO WAY IN HEAVEN OR HELL AM I MAKING ANOTHER ACCESSORY FOR WEIWEI!"
Weiwei, Jenn, and Rei watched from the Auditorium as the contest was being shown on a projector. Jenn looked at Weiwei "This is a new contest isn't it?" Rei nodded, interrupting in a way, "Yeah, supposedly, one person is supposed to make an object for the second person to model…" Weiwei looked at the screen "Oh. God. Oliver." Rei and Jenn looked up.
Oliver, who was wearing his P.E. uniform just a second ago, was now wearing a an old lady's dress, sweater and all, with a knitted shawl on his back. His hair, which had once been dirty blonde, was now gray and wispy, tied up in a bun with knitting needles. For added interest, he wore spectacles and had a quiet expression on his face. Opposite of him was his opponent, Hilary, whom looked as if she was ready to sprint at any minute. "Ready…BEGIN!" (This was under a timed limit, insert generic time limit)
Hilary ran and got out her supplies and was yelling to herself, "GOT TO GET IT DONE! MUST FINISH MUST FINISH!" as she sewed rapidly. Meanwhile Oliver got out his supplies and began knitting at an excruciatingly slow pace, saying to himself in an old lady voice "Knit one, pearl two…Knit one, pearl two…"
And so this went on for about an hour. "OMG! THE SEWING MACHINE BROKE! SHOOT I'M NOT GONNA FINISH!" "Knit one…pearl two…knit one..pearl two…"
The buzzer then rang, Hilary ran in a fury to her model, Tyson, and handed him the object. Object wouldn't describe it, it was more of jumble of cloth that was glued together that had a handle. The judges gave a thumbs down.
The judge then yelled to Oliver "GET HERE WITH YOUR ACCESSORY!" Oliver glared at him angrily "Hold your horses sonny…" and started wobbling with a cane over to the Judge and Max. When he got there, he put a hat on Max's head. It was a hat, but more like one of those ski caps, only rounder, and it was hand knit. The color was like a turtle's shell, patches of dark green, and patches of light green. This combined with Max's puppy dog eyes and kiddish looks won them the contest. Oliver took in great satisfaction seeing Hilary and Tyson argue.
"Teams Green and Purple, I repeat Teams Green and Purple…gather at the gym for the final competition…"
TBC!
Fire: Well, there you go, hope that was long enough for you people. In case you're wondering, this is a two parter, the next part will be the final competition of the Field Day, who will win…Team Green, or Team Purple
