Bonus Chapter: LIZ HAS A MODELING GIG!
(before Liz and Takeshi got married in 2059: The year is 2050.)
It had been three days since Liz and Takeshi had seen the lovely movie. After the race against Sledge Mamma Takeshi awoke to the T.V being on. (He had slept on the couch last night because his sister had a friend over and she insisted to use his room instead of hers because 'yours is so much bigger!' she had said to him) . He groaned, and felt his back crack a little. "Ouch..." he said to himself with a sigh and raised the volume up. It seemed that on the T.V was the anual fashion show for the usual festival that was happening...well he couldn't remember when but he knew it was soon. He listened intentively, and heard it would give out a lot of money, and then his eyes bulged when he saw who was on the screen. It was Liz!
"WHA WHA WHA WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!" he yelled and fell off the couch onto the floor face foward. Oof! He groaned as his leg twitched. He raced upstairs, bursting through his door. Yuri and her friend screamed.
"OUT! NOW!" Takeshi roared and the two rushed out of his room like that. He slammed the door shut, got dressed quickly, hastily put the silver piece in his pocket (he never went anywhere without it awww) and rushed out the door to Satomi HQ to tell them of what he had just seen. He ran at top speed, running past old men, people with carts selling useless things, and he even rushed past River who was on his way to a convention. As he reached Satomi HQ he saw Amy, Jesse, and Luca stare at him oddly.
"LIZ!...T.V!...MODELING!..." Takeshi babbled.
"Oh. If you're talking about the modeling/fashion contest, we saw it too. Doesn't Liz look pretty Takeshi?" Amy asked as she giggled. Takeshi's face was bright pink, sweat ran down his face.
"Pretty! Is that all you can say!" Takeshi cried as he gasped for breath.
"Well, what were you going to say?" Jesse asked and Takeshi blushed even more.
"No-nothing!" he cried and waved his hands in front of his face. 'Just that she's not just pretty, she's hot! SHE'S A HOT CHICK! Since when did I ever say that in my life?...' he thought to himself, and mentally slapped himself. What possessed himself to say that! Even though he thought it was true.
"Hey ev'ryone, whattsup?" a voice from behind. It spooked Takeshi out and he almost fell on his ass.
"L-Liz!" he cried hysterically. Liz had a towel over her shoulders, and a soda in her hand.
"Um, yeah Takeshi?" Liz asked, confusion was written.
"Ah...nothing." he said.
"Are you feeling all right Takeshi?" Liz asked as she put a hand to his forehead. "You're burning up man! Did you go out for a run or something?" she asked him.
"Sorta..." Takeshi replied.
"We saw you on T.V Liz. We didn't know you had a modeling gig." Jesse said and Liz gasped in horror and she fell back.
"Me! On T.V! N-no you must've seen someone that looked like me!" she said and put a hand behind her head.
"I saw you too Liz. You looked really nice." Amy said with a smile and Luca meowed as his tail flicked back and forth.
"R-really? You thought I looked nice? I mean!...uh..." she started, and finally sighed.
"So Liz, why are you in this modeling competition? Is it for the big prize money?" Amy asked as she sipped her lemonade.
"Sort of... I want to win the big prize money so I can pay off something." Liz replied sheepishly.
"What do you want to pay off?" Takeshi asked.
"Uh...something." Liz said and got up. "Well nice chatting with you guys gotta go bye!" she said all at once and rushed off to her room. Everyone blinked, and shrugged.
"Whatever Liz is hiding, I'm gonna find out what it is." Takeshi said finally and walked off to Liz's room.
Liz sighed. In her hand was the dreaded papers that left you broke and in tears. She sighed again, and cupped her hands, putting her forehead to them.
'You're in debt! Goodness gracious what are you planning to do!' her inner self asked.
"Hello! Isn't it obvious? I'm going to win that modeling contest and use the money to buy the land I want for a brand new orphanage named...Satomi Orphanage..." she answered.
'Satomi Orphanage? Can't you come up with something else?' her inner self asked.
"Not really. Everything else I thought of was stupid." Liz replied with a shrug. There was a small tap on her door, and without thinking she walked over, the papers were still in her hand.
"Hm? Oh hi Takeshi." Liz said with a smile.
"Hey Liz um...what's in your hand?" Takeshi asked and pointed. Liz looked down and her eyes bulged for a few minutes as she hid the papers behind her back.
"N-nothing! It's nothing!" she answered and he took a step foward to be let in.
"Oh really?" he asked and playfully stole them from her.
"H-hey! Give those back!" Liz cried and jumped on Takeshi's back, making him give her a piggy back.
"WAAH!" Takeshi yelled as the two landed with a thud. Luckily, Takeshi was able to see what was on the papers and looked at it ni shock.
"LIZ! You're in debt! Since when did this happen!" Takeshi cried, concerned. Liz didn't answer. "C'mon Liz, you can tell me. Maybe I can help." Takeshi suggested.
"Well...I'm in debt cause I bought a lot of land to rebuild a new orphanage and all...and I didn't really want to tell you guys cause I knew you'd be worried and concerned and stuff." Liz said sheepishly.
"Oh Liz..." Takeshi said with a sad sigh and Liz laughed a little.
"Sorry Takeshi. I didn't think you guys would see me on T.V so I didn't worry about that. And since the prize money is a lot of bucks, my debt will be repaid and you won't need to worry." Liz said with a smile. Takeshi took a step foward.
"You're being so selfish. You could have asked us for help, we would have gotten together and saved up money and stuff so you wouldn't have to do this." he said.
"Well, I didn't want to tell you guys cause I knew you'd be going soft on me. I'm not one to be taken lightly you know." Liz said, waving her finger.
"That's for sure. But really we could've helped you so you didn't have to go through all of this. Personally I never thought I'd see you in a modeling contest." Takeshi said and Liz growled as her eye twitched.
"What're you saying Takeshi? That I won't last one second in this contest?" Liz asked, eye continued to twitch.
"N-no! NEVER!" he cried waving his hands in front of him wildly. Liz stared at him, eyes squinted, but then relaxed with a smile.
"Good. Now if you don't mind, I need to get ready." Liz said and pushed him out the door.
"Ah...good luck then." Takeshi said.
"Thanks. I bet I'll need it." Liz replied with a smile and shut the door. Takeshi blinked for a moment, and then walked away. 'Liz doesn't need good luck. She'll win for sure and mop the floor with everyone else...and even if she doesn't win, we'll be there to back her up and help her. Time for a secret Satomi meeting.' he thought to himself with a smile and ran down to Miss Satomi's office.
As he burst through the door, he was glad that everyone (except Liz) had already been there.
"Oh great I'm glad you're all here!" he cried happily as he gasped for breath (again).
"What is it Takeshi? We were in an important meeting about how Liz forgot to mention to us that she was in the modeling contest for the festival without even telling us." Miss Satomi explained.
"Well that's why I'm here. I have a reason as to why she hid it from us, and a way to help her too! Did you say the modeling contest for the festival? What festival?" Takeshi said with a smile and then asked.
"Takeshi, don't tell me you don't know." Mark said with a pretend gasp.
"What! Tell me!" Takeshi pouted. Miss Satomi slapped her hand to her forehead.
"The annual fashion show for the festival that always happens once a year. Don't tell me you never knew about that?" Miss Satomi answered. Jesse, Amy, and Takeshi looked at Miss Satomi cluelessly. Miss Satomi sighed.
"Well we knew about the festival! I just never knew they had a fashion show." Takeshi said quietly.
"Well, now you know. And it just so happens that this year's fashion show was going to be special. Each team is supposed to send a person from their own team to compete against one another. We were going to choose someone but Liz apparently beat us to it before we could get a say in it." Andrei said.
"She even has a contract with a women's clothing line by the name of Erin's." Mark added and Takeshi's mouth dropped. He slowly put it back up before regaining himself. There was a short silence until Andrei spoke, going back to the part where Takeshi knew why Liz was hiding that fact from the whole team.
"So Takeshi, you actually got her to tell you her reason? That simple huh?" Andrei asked. Takeshi nodded.
"You're lucky. We asked yesterday and all we got were doors slammed in our faces. Although that was after we got a loud roar in our faces. Then again I guess she would tell you since your her boyfriend." Mark said, waiting for Takeshi to become angry. It didn't work.
"Damn." he said with a chuckled. "Boy am I gonna miss that." he finished.
"Miss what?" Takeshi asked.
"You going all angry about us saying you and Liz are boyfriend girlfriend." Mark said with a laugh. Takeshi pouted as his cheeks puffed a little, and got to the matter at hand.
"Anyways, since you guys are talking about Liz and her modeling gig, I hae an answer to it all and I hope you can help me out." Takeshi said with a sigh and looked behind him and to the sides, making sure Liz wasn't in site. He said quietly about why she was doing this.
"See, Liz entered the contest cause she's in debt from buying a lot of property to build a new orphanage and a better one at that. She didn't tell us about it because she didn't want us to worry and stuff so she kept it to herself. The thing is, her debt is really really big. Since the prize money is a lot, I think it's enough to have Liz's debt paid off. The only flaw, would be that she might not win. Although I think she will but let's face it, it's Liz against all of these other competitors." Takeshi explained.
"Are you saying you're having doubts Takeshi?" Mark asked.
"And they're all doubts about Liz winning. Tsk tsk." Andrei said in shame. Takeshi's eye twitched, and he went into chibi riot form (just go with me with that).
"Quit the jokes!" he cried and returned to anime mode.
"With all jokes aside, are you saying that if she doesn't win we should chip in?" Miss Satomi asked.
"Well, yeah. I mean, we are like her family. As a matter of fact, her only family, and family helps when one member needs help. I say we should gather as much money as we have and use it to give to Liz if she doesn't win." Takeshi suggested.
"What if she does win Takeshi?" Amy asked.
"Then we just congratulate her and give her some money. I mean, to get her started with the furniture and all the other stuff that'll need to be done to make the orphanage really good." Takeshi replied with a smile.
"Well Takeshi, what debt are we talking about for one thing." Miss Satomi asked.
"Um...well, see..." Takeshi said and whispered the amount in Miss Satomi's ear. She had her eyes closed, and they seemed to be in pain as she opened her eyes and they bulged.
"WHAT! ARE YOU SERIOUS!" she cried and the scene went to the outside building, it seemed to rumble from her voice. The group inside had sweatdrops, and Takeshi nodded.
"If you think about it, if we contribute equally it's not that bad." Takeshi said with a weak smile. Miss Satomi sighed.
"Yes, you're right. We'll all contribute this much then." Miss Satomi said and wrote down the amount for everyone.
"WHAAAAT!" everyone except Takeshi cried when they saw what they needed to contribute.
Liz was in her room, ready to go win some prize money. She looked at herself, her outfit, and back at the mirror. She sighed. 'Okay Liz, you can do this. Show the whole world what you're made of!' she thought to herself.
'Girl you sure are something! Don't we look hot! her inner self chimed.
"Oh shut it..you really think I look hot?" Liz asked and her inner self nodded.
'It'll be amazing if you don't win! You're going to make everyone in the crowds cheer!' her inner self cried happily.
"Thanks. Well, wish me luck." Liz said.
'Luck? What luck? You don't need it.' her inner self replied and Liz smiled. As she was back in reality, she wrapped a jacket over herself to hide her outfit, but had to make the back a little puffy because it made a trail behind her. She looked back at the mirror and sighed heavily. 'Great...just what I need..' she thought to herself and rushed out the door. She quietly crept out of HQ, and skipped/rushed down to the contest.
"Isn't today the contest? I heard that they were just having prelims yesterday. The commercial today was for yesterday's finalists." Amy asked curiously.
"I guess so! We'd better go cheer her on." Takeshi replied and everyone went to where the contest was being held. Before they left, they prepared the money for Liz if she needed it after the contest.
Liz sucked in air as she tried to calm herself down. It was all up to her now, she was in the finals so she couldn't blow it now! She hung up her jacket, and was ready to compete for first place. With her jacket off, she revealed her outstanding outfit! It was a purple color, very nice, and the best part was it made a trail behind her. She would win, hands down compared to everyone else there. She peeked through the curtains, and her eyes bulged when she saw the gang sit down near the front row. She looked up at the sky, and hoped that her stage fright wouldn't happen. She was still uncomfortable that her secret was out, and that her friends were going to watch her, but she had to do her best! As the announcer went to the stage, she looked at her competitors. At first she thought they wouldn't stand a chance, but then again, she was wrong. When her turn finally came, it was time to show the whole world what Liz Ricarro was made of.
She came out on stage, and heard he audience cheer and clap at her prescence. She smiled and waved a little, and started to walk slowly down the stage. 'Okay Liz..you can do this...come on, focus!' she thought to herself, but telling herself not to screw up jinxed her just a little. Halfway down the stage she was going into slow motion, tripping. Her friends (in slow mo as well) leaned foward, mouths agape. Liz seemed quite surprised at her slow fall, but was able to make that litle messup something people would love. Almost immediately when the slow mo ended she quickly got back on her feet and twirled to 'safe her life from embarrassment' to counter her little messup. She heard the crowd roar at her surprise she showed them, and she sighed with relief. So did her team. Throughout her routine, she was fabulous! Everyone loved her, and this contest would be a piece of cake! But one person didn't like this, at all. As Liz had only a few more minutes left, he stepped on her tail and it ripped. Everyone gasped, and Liz had her mouth agape. The outfit was ruined (sniffs). She growled at the guy, beat him to a pulp, and heard the crowd gasp in horror. She covered it up by making her ruined dress a very very short mini skirt that almost every boy in the audience fainted out of what they saw on stage. Takeshi seemed to be in a transe as he sighed dreamily. Boy was he glad she was his girlfriend. Everyone cheered and stood up clapping, (forgetting about the poor guy who just got his ass kicked as he quietly crept to the back of the stage) and she bowed after going back behind the stage.
She sighed heavily, and looke around the back. Her eyes narrowed, and she walked up to someone casually.
"Excuse me, did you see a guy with a black eye, and bloody nose? Oh yeah! And missing some teeth?" she asked as easily as she could. The person answered that he was somewhere behind the set, and asked why she was looking for the poor guy. She cracked her knuckles, and raised her sleeve.
"I'm not done with him yet." she answered devishly and charged behind the set. The person waited, and heard something very unpleasent.
"NOOO! HAVE MERCY!"
"GET BACK HERE YOU JERK!"
"STAY AWAY! I'M SORRY DON'T KILL ME! AAAAAAAAH!"
"JUST STOP RUNNING SO I CAN PUNCH YOU!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
As the contest finally ended, the one hosting it walked up with a small envelope in his hands. He opened it and read the name loudly, and clearly.
"The winner is! Liz Ricarro!" he cried and Liz flew out onto the stage with a teary smile as she waved and bowed, recieving a boquet of flowers and a nice little silver crown. Talk about being in the winners circle. She could see her friends as they shouted to her.
"YEAH!" Miss Satomi cried.
"WAY TO GO LIZ!" Takeshi roared.
"YOU WERE GREAT!" Amy and Jesse cheered.
"YOU SURE SHOWED THEM WHO'S BOSS!" Andrei shouted.
"GOOD JOB LIZ!" Mark hollared. As the contest was finally over, and Liz walked over to her friends.
"Hey guys...I didn't think you'd come." Liz said with a smile.
"We sure did! Man Liz you were awesome!" Takeshi said.
"Awww thanks Takeshi." Liz said with a laugh, she began to blush.
"Everyone thought you were the best Liz! You sure showed them!" Amy cried.
"Haha. Thanks everyone, really. But gosh, I can't believe this! I got first!" Liz cried with a cheer. Everyone cheered on the way back to Satomi HQ. As they entered, Liz was glad everyone was happy for her, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud because of the success she had made.
"So Liz, does this uh..pay off you know what?" Takeshi asked.
"You bet it does! I'm so glad too! I can't believe this is actually happening!" Liz exclaimed happily. The group smiled, and even though she won, decided to give her the money they had planned on using if she didn't win. Takeshi brought it up to her and she looked at it, puzzled. She opened it and gasped, a hand was slapped onto her mouth. She pointed to it in disbelief, and then looked at her team.
"What...How..Why?" Liz asked plainly.
"Well, let's call it a bonus for your victory. I mean, even though you have the land all, you do need money for the inside and stuff." Takeshi replied with a chuckle as he placed a hand behind his head.
"And we'll help you in any way we can Liz. I'm good at painting just to let you know!" Amy cried happily and Luca meowed, his tail flicking back and forth happily.
"Aww you guys! All this for me! You shouldn'tve!" Liz excliamed as she gave Amy a hug when she walked up to her and Takeshi. The others smiled.
"You deserve it Liz. And we're happy for you." Miss Satomi said with a smile.
"Aww...you guys, you're the best!" Liz laughed as the group continued to smile. Takeshi and Amy walked back over to the group as Liz's eyes still sparkled at the extra money she had gained from her team...her family.
"You should really give a lot of the credit to Takeshi. It was his idea." Miss Satomi added and Liz walked over to Takeshi. The group took a step back so he stood out.
"Really Takeshi? This was all your plan, for me?" Liz asked.
"Of course! Liz, you're worth every penny I have!" Takeshi replied. Liz smiled a teary one, and thanked him. She made a small leap and hugged him tightly, and right after a kiss was made. Takeshi blushed with a laugh, and Liz told the group about her plans with the orphanage. A few days passed, and with Liz's debt paid off the orphanage was being built. She already had the name in mind, now it would make sense.
'You're still going with Satomi Orphanage?' her inner self asked.
"How can I not? They gave me the extra money so that the orphanage would be up and running so quickly! They deserve credit. I have you know that everyone helped me out, and Amy did a great job with the painting." Liz replied. Her inner self shrugged and Liz went back into reality. Takeshi walked up to her, and gave her a letter. It said that her orphanage was now up and running, furniture, accessories, and all, ready for it's name. She replied with Satomi Orphanage, and in one week already the orphanage was in business. It made Liz very happy, and it made Takeshi extremely happy that she was happy. He'd help her out a lot, and the best part was anyone who came there was thrilled to have Team Satomi look after them. So everything worked out, just like that. And with everyone good to go, what more could you possibly want?
