I walked to school by myself the next Monday. Carrie was still angry with Eric and wouldn't come to my house, and Gohan hated us as well and wouldn't go to our house and Goten just follows whatever he sees first and Eric… well… Eric wasn't home. In fact, I hadn't seen him since Friday… how extremely odd and yet so unimportant.
Once I reached school I found a very panicked looking Gohan, everyone else looked rather calm.
"My Dende! I don't even know what classes I'm taking!" Gohan yelled and his aura was looking a little red.
"Thanks for walking to school with me," I announced to them.
"You're welcome Elise," Carrie said cheerfully. "Hey wait… where's… It?" I couldn't help but notice that her 'It' was exceptionally bitter today.
"Not too sure, haven't seen him since he…" I stifled a laugh remembered my scheming brother in his prime… only to lose his billion dollar possession a few seconds later. "Since Friday."
"This is all your fault!" Gohan yelled suddenly pointing at me.
"My fault? What's my fault? Why is everything my fault?"
"Because of this deal you made with Vegeta! I was passing so I didn't have to go to school and now my mom's angry with me! I almost lost my neck!"
"Mommy's very loud…" Goten mumbled from beside Gohan.
"Kawaii…"
"Well don't worry Gohan, I was talking to Vegeta while staying with Trunks this weekend… to help him readjust to normal family life once more and he said although the deals null now, our marks are all 80, so we just have to live through school a bit more until we can scam our way out of school again…" Carrie began to ponder.
"Hey wait a second, I've just had an epiphany," Youji exclaimed from beside his locked, his finger pointed in the air and a light flickering over his head.
"You figured out how to scam the school once more?" Carrie asked happily.
"Not exactly… but it's just occurred to me that we made this deal before Gohan and Goten came to this school."
"Say what?" Gohan asked, shock written all over his face.
"So all these classes you guys have missed actually count for you…"
Gohan was sweating. "Well Vegeta can fix that, can't he? Can't he!"
"Yeah… Vegeta's gonna try to help out his enemy's sons…"
Gohan turned to me, his red aura flashing, his eyes likes Vegeta's (I would normally find this sexy, but right then I felt well… threatened…), his fists shaking at his side, ready for attack.
"YOU!"
"Yes?" I asked innocently, sweatdropping.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gohan yelled as he started flying towards me.
"Ah crap…"
(Censored)
"Gohan, I think you killed her," Carrie mumbled staring down at my… well what was left of my body.
"THANK GOD!" Trunks yelled and started dancing and singing. "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!"
"Elise is dead…" Goten mumbled, little tears welling up is his eyes.
"My God people! What are we waiting for! There's no time to lose!" Youji said, collected the pieces off me and then started running down the hall towards the nurse's office.
"IT'S DENDE YOU MORON!" Trunks called after him. "Jeez, what a-" Trunks suddenly noticed he was all alone… "Hey wait a second…"
And then a slow realization came upon me. I was a spirit. And I was following the four down the hall towards Akane's office… hey… why weren't they helping Youji save my life!
Gohan was the first in the office.
"YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME WOMAN!"
"… Woman…?" Akane asked raising once eyebrow.
"ELISE HAS RUINED MY LIFE!"
"What did you call me?"
"Hey Akane!" Carrie said pushing Gohan out of the way before he got hurt (Akane can hurt anybody…). "It's sorta been a while since we've actually been to school and we were wondering."
"What your courses are?"
"Yes…"
"I'm going to school!" Goten mumbled in the back.
"KAWAII!" I yelled and glomped him… and then fell through the floor into the basement… "THERE'S A BASEMENT IN THIS SCHOOL!" I exclaimed in wonder. "Cool…" I mumbled… though I don't know why because nobody could hear me.
All about the place were boxes and cobwebs and probably spiders… Anyway, after a few trial and errors, I managed to open one of the boxes to see what's in them and found a bunch of…
Spoons.
"Well… that was anti-climatic… must belong to Aoi." I closed the box and moved on.
I went through every box and all were filled with little wingdings (I swear I found a dead body in one… I just didn't feel like taking a closer look), all I assumed were bought off of eBay.
"It's Aoi's secret stash of eBay products… but why leave them in the basement…? Doesn't he have a home? Wow, just think of all the things I'm discovering now that I'm a spirit. I can discover all the school secrets. Like… like… Damn, I wish our school had secrets." I looked around at the silent room. "I'm very lonely and bored here."
Tired with that room, I decided to see what else I could find around here. I wasn't really thinking of the direction I was going in, but I think my subconscious was, because before I knew it I was standing in the great hall that once belonged to the dreaded TPP. (Mass phantom shuddering inserted here)
"Dende… so many evil memories here… Hey… who rebuilt this place anyway? TPP's all dead… well it is, some of the members are still alive…" I looked around at the silent room. "I have to find someone to talk to very quickly…"
As I floated through the hall I heard a stifled scream coming from one of the rooms, curious as to what it was I wandered to the door I thought it was coming from and suddenly-
WHAM!
The door flew open and right through me, I turned to look and saw Tasuki running down the hall towards the exit getting dressed as he fled, and looking very scared and very hung over.
"What was Tasuki doing down…" I trailed off as I looked towards the room and saw Eric lying naked in some blankets.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I was feeling my soul being ripped apart and then…
"SHE'S ALIVE!" Came the oh so familiar voice of Youji. I suddenly found myself sitting on a table covered in bandages and staring at the ever-perky Nurse Joy.
"This is great!" She said clapping her hands together and running out of the room.
Then I felt Youji hugging me. "I'm so happy!"
I mumbled something through my bandages.
"What was that?" Youji asked pulling away some of them.
"I think Hell just froze over. Tasuki… Tasuki has…" sparkly tears came to my eyes. "BETRAYED ME!"
"Well now I'm a bit confused."
"Come Youji! There's no time to waste!" I grabbed his hand and started wobbling out of the room.
"This would go faster if I carried you…"
Well, before long we were interrupting Kazuhiko's science class as we went through the secret entrance in the science room closet and found the room where Eric was sleeping… or was…
"YOU!" I yelled and Eric jumped up scared.
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" He yelled.
"YOU BETRAYED ME!" I jumped on his and began to choke him.
"That poor guy never can get a breath of air…" Youji mumbled to himself.
"HOW! COULD! YOU! SLEEP! WITH! TAUKI!" And then I saw the look of pure shock in Eric's eyes and let go.
"I WHAT!"
"Exactly my question!"
"I remember being depressed about losing a billion dollars, so I went to a bar. Tasuki was there, he and Chichiri had had a fight and… and… I WHAT!"
"BASTARD!" I slapped him.
"OWW!"
"Elise, I though you agreed that Eric could have Tasuki."
"I DIDN'T THINK IT'D ACTUALLY HAPPEN AND… and… I feel like I'm supposed to be somewhere."
Meanwhile:
"And so tea is very nice, but the people of Boston didn't seem to think so…" Quatre babbled in Civics, ignoring the sounds of five sleeping teenagers in the back.
Back to the story:
"Class, perhaps, just a slight suggested," Youji mumbled behind me.
"I guess it's not important… BUT YOU! OH I'M SO MAD AT YOU! YOU'VE BROKEN MY HEART! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" I started crying and ran out of the room.
"I guess I should make sure she doesn't get hit by a bus…" Youji said following me out of the door.
"I slept with Tasuki…?" Eric looked around the room. "Where are my boxers?"
Meanwhile:
"Tasuki, I'm sorry about Friday no da! But you didn't have to run off for the weekend…" Chichiri said oh so pleasantly as Tasuki listened on nervously and relieved at the same time.
"Chichiri, I-"
"Oi…" Something sticking out of Tasuki's desk caught Chichiri's attention. "Whose boxers are these?"
