Juuban High - Day 64

The next morning was complete chaos. I could barely get into the school.

I blame it on Aoi, I don't know how Aoi manages these things, but he had managed to rally every reporter and fanatic to hound Carrie and blow her stardom… create her stardom and make it out of proportion. Even the teenyboppers were following her, but I think they were swooning over her superhero, bodyguard and Ninja (Youji, Trunks and Gohan for those of you who haven't been keeping track. Shame on you).

Her superhero…? Shouldn't he be my superhero?

"Jebus! I can't even get to my locker!" I complained as I stood in the hallway crushed in a crowd and trying to communicate to my dispersed siblings, we were yelling really.

"Perhaps we should relocate," Sonya said, trying to get atop the mob, "to someplace… a little-ah-more quiet?"

"Lead the way-" I started climbing as well. "Neesan."

From atop the crowd I could see Carrie by a barrier keeping the crowd at bay by signing autographs. I couldn't help but notice Eric at the front of the barrier holding out a pen and paper… and Carrie passing him by…

What the hell did he need her autograph for?

Behind Carrie there was a cheerleader squad cheering her on, and beside her was a T.V. crew interviewing Goten who was probably there by default. I had to save him at least…

Two hours latter.

"Ok people," I said to the few people I could get out of the crowds and into the hallway outside the library, a safe distance from Carrie's mob. I had with me, Sonya, Goten and… and… well that was all. Eric wouldn't leave his 'choice spot to get an autograph' and security guards wouldn't let me over the barrier to everyone else. "We have a slight problem here."

"There are lots of people here…" Goten said with a scared look on his face.

"Exactly!" I yelled and another mob of people ran past us heading for Carrie. "And we need to stop it!"

"I dunno, I could see some Y-"

"I don't think you even have to talk anymore, you're so damn predictable." I mumbled and stared at my people. "Carrie must be stopped."

"What?" Sonya asked confused.

"She said we should stop Carrie."

"Kawaii. That's right, we must stop Carrie and what she's doing!"

"What is she doing?" Sonya asked.

"Mind control! She's taking over minds!"

Two blank stares later.

"I can tell we're not seeing eye to eye on this one." I mumbled in dismay.

"Eh, I'm bored, we'll stop her."

"We're stopping Carrie," Goten mumbled with a grin.

"Kawaii!" I gave Goten a quick hug. "First thing's first. Where the hell is Aoi!"

"Yooooooooooooooou called!" Aoi suddenly popped up in front of me.

"YOU!" I grabbed Aoi by the collar and began to shake him. "You did this! WHY! WHY! YOU MONSTER!"

"She's shaking Aoi," came Goten.

"Um Kireta-Chan…"

"WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME!" I continued shaking him.

"Maybe you should-"

"Not now Neesan! I'm trying to get some answers!"

"Then stop strangling him!" Sonya yelled and I starred down at the oddly blue coloured Aoi.

"Oh… hehehehehe… heh…"

After successfully dodging the crowds, we relocated to Aoi's office. Akane didn't look like she was taking all the reporters and fans running around very well. She had bags under her eyes, three empty coffee pots on her desk, five empty Tylenol and Advil bottles on the floor and her hair looked like it had been spiked.

"Bad day?" I asked.

Akane twitched… but made no other reply.

"Where are the V.P.s?"

"Oh, they're trying to make sure the teachers go on teaching and that those not attending this school stay out of the classrooms," Aoi explained taking a seat at his desk and going right to eBay.

"Wow, so they're actually running the school… that's new," Sonya mumbled a little shocked.

"The teachers are finally teaching!" Goten yelled happily.

"Oh so cute and cuddly!" I said and glomped Goten.

"Wasn't this supposed to be Carrie's base?" Sonya asked looking around confused.

"It was… but so many people were crowding it that we decided it'd be best if she stayed in the hall."

"Say, what's up with eBay… is that's Trunks' name?" I asked pointing to the screen.

Aoi let out a sudden deep and freakishly evil laugh. The light suddenly got dark. I looked up as Aoi turned around in his swinging chair holding an annoyed looking orange cat and his face looking rather dark and twisted.

"I see you've discovered my ultimate plan!" He said as the cat, Kyo, ran for dear life. "Ever since I made so much money selling Sonya, a complete unknown, on eBay, I realized that if I sold someone, say, famous, I'D MAKE MILLIONS! BILLIONS! TRILLIONS!" More demonic laughter.

"So then this whole time you've been planning to… to… to sell Carrie!" I yelled out horrified.

"Carrie? What? No! I like Carrie. However, Trunks has got to go," Aoi leaned in and whispered. "I think he's a bit, ya know, crazy."

"You think HE'S crazy?" Sonya asked sweat dropping.

"Oh, just Trunks?"

"Yep."

"When does the auction end?"

"An hour."

"Ok, I wish you well."

"He's selling my best friend!" Goten said with a sweet smile as we left Aoi's office.

"So what now?" Sonya asked as we walked around the school outside, we wanted to avoid the crowds.

"We must find a home base!"

"So we're still going to stop Carrie?"

"Of course. In one hour Trunks will be sold to some poor sucker, but the people will still remain. So in one hour we must ATTACK!"

"We're going to attack!" Goten said, raising his arm.

"Um Kireta-Chan… wouldn't Trunks be the poor sucker seeing he's being sold?"

"You'd think that, but after hanging out with Trunks for long enough I've found him to be far more of a burden. He dents walls too much…"

"Right, that's true. So, where's home base going to be?"

"The library!"

"The library?"

"The library!" Goten chimed in.

Once in the library I was met with quite the unusual sight.

"You guys are still here?" I asked the five basketball players.

"We were supposed to leave?" Vince asked shocked.

"This is the gym," Goten said… and was right. The five of them had transformed the library into a basketball court. JYD was in the back trying to do that run-up-the-wall thing, and the rest had been playing some basketball until we came in.

"Don't you guys have games to play?" Sonya asked suspiciously.

"Oh yeah! I knew we were forgetting something!" Vince yelled and dropped the ball. "Come on guys!" Soon they were running out of the library (JYD was now on one of those toddler leashes, I guess they didn't want to lose him again) and I almost jumped onto Mo Pete again, but remembered I had more important things to do.

"The library's a gym now," Goten said bewildered.

"Wu Fei will be so proud," I muttered.

With our basketball court for a fortress, we got down to work.

"Ok! It's time for operation DCFWSHS (Destroy Carrie's Fame While She Has Some)."

"You're title suggests that she won't have some for long."

"Well seeing Trunks will be sold soon, I doubt Aoi'll work his magic to get her famous anymore and that will leave her as she was when I first met her."

"So why bother with the operation?"

"Don't ask stupid questions!"

"Ok, ok."

"So, we'll whisper, whisper."

One extremely long hour of explaining a brilliant plan to my two soldiers latter…

"First, we must get rid of the screaming girls…"

Geoff walked into the hallways (without that weird kid who followed him around with a boom box) and stood on a podium I had set up. He looked at his watch. It was time.

"Yo, I mo betta be gettin fifty bucks fuh dis. Sheeit!" He muttered to himself. "Yo buss dis! Hey hoes!"

The valleys girls stopped yelling at Carrie and turned to look at Geoff. Puzzled looks of recognition flashed over their faces.

"This ain't wukin, mo betta go to plan two," Geoff thought to himself. Then in a flash of brilliance took off his shirt and yelled. "Yo hoes! Check out dis body!"

Shreiks of excitement filled the hallways and the teenyboppers began fainting and began running towards Geoff. Suddenly Vegeta flew through one wall, grabbed Geoff and flew out the other. The teenyboppers followed them out through the hole and the hallways were empty except for the reporters and my bewildered looking friends.

"That guy looked familiar…" Eric muttered to himself.

"Because he's your brother!" Sonya yelled as she wired down from the ceiling wearing a blue Ninja outfit.

"Who are you?" A reporter asked, all cameras on the Blue Ninja.

"I am Blue Ninja of pictures!" She yelled in a fake Japanese accent, and then five baby pictures appeared in her hand. "I have many baby pictures of Carrie-San."

"NOOOOOO!" Carrie yelled, absolutely horrified.

"Also have many bad picture of Carrie, good for Tabloid, yes?" Sonya then threw the pictures at the reporters; they all got a picture and then quickly ran away to make their deadlines. The security guards then left and all that was left were my friends. I came out of the locker that I was hiding in, and Sonya climbed back up to the ceiling.

"Elise! How could you!" Carried yelled and jumped over the barrier at me.

"Because it was all a lie! The fame was never yours Carrie!"

"You were just jealous!"

"Aoi rigged all of this so that he could sell you!" I pointed to Trunks.

"How could you be jealous of your best friend Elise-HE DID WHAT!"

"The fame shouldn't have been yours! And you stole my Youji!"

"Your Youji?"

"Your Youji?" Youji asked, pointing to himself bewildered.

"Yes! MY YOUJI!"

"Youji belongs to Elise," Goten said, his voice coming from a closed locker beside the one I came out of.

"So cute," I said quickly.

"I think I'm gonna faint," Youji muttered to Gohan with glee in his voice.

"Well don't expect me to catch you."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WANTS TO SELL ME!"

"SHUT UP TRUNKS!" I turned backed to Carrie. "I saved you from heartbreak, really, I did you a favour."

"… Right…"

"HOW COULD HE SELL ME! NOBODY CAN SELL ME! MY BODY'S NOBODIES BODY BUT MINE! YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN BODY, LET ME HAVE MINE!"

"SHUT UP TRUNKS!" Everyone said, except for Goten and Youji.

"Trunks has a body," came the muffled statement from Goten.

"Well… not much I can do about it now." Carrie muttered in minor disappointment.

"Cool." I said happily.

"Let's go home."

"Hey… Neesan?" I asked and looked up at Sonya, who was still on the ceiling. "You ok up there?"

"Yes…" Sonya said while struggling with her rope.

"Ok, don't suppose you can get Goten out of the locker when you're done then?"

"No problem."

"All right, come on Youji," I said and soon we were out of the hallway, Youji in the back smiling and pointing to himself (Eric wasn't around anymore).

"Your Youji? Your Youji? Your Youji?" He kept repeating it.

"Will somebody please shut him up?" Gohan asked annoyed.

"HOW COULD HE-"

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!" Aoi yelled and suddenly appeared in front of us with Eric.

"Hey Aoi, how'd the bid go?" Carrie asked casually.

"AHHHHHHHH! HOW CAN YOU BE OK WITH THIS!" Trunks yelled shocked.

"It went great! I sold him for one billion dollars!" Dr. Evil laugh.

"Really? What sucker would… would…?" I trailed off and started at the smiling Eric beside Aoi who had a laptop the size of his hand, the page was on eBay. "… buy Trunks…?"

Trunks pointed and screamed like a girl.

We all went home, Trunks did in a catatonic state. I still don't know to this day where Eric got that amount of money, and I sometimes wonder if he could get more, but apparently he did pay up (he has a certificate saying he owns Trunks, it was stamped by the government and Vegeta, I guess he really did disown Trunks…).

Remind me to ask Eric for money the next time I need any.

P.S. Sonya got off the ceiling the next morning… and uhh… I think she got Goten out as well. That may have happened later on in the day, I just can't remember such minor details.
