Chapter 2: The Dreaded Meeting; Stickball Game!
The sun was setting, as most of the humanoids living in the area were eating dinner. San and Ashi-taka, along with Mora, were already in Iron Town. San and Toki were talking while the men were discussing the lataest Go club stats. The girls had joined the rest of the grade schoolers, and they were all planning to play stickball, while teen agers were elsewhere.
After milling around for a good half-hour, Gonza rang the gong, indicating the annual meeting was about to begin, leaving every minor to fend for themselves. After then 1200 or so adults had seated themseleves, the meeting began.
Meanwhile, the stickball game was in progrees. the girl's team was ahead by 3runs, and the boys were hard pressed to catch up. It was Mora's turn up at bat, and Haku was pitching. "Come on , Haku! Mora's hit home runs every time she's up! Throw a bean ball," Kanta called, as he was the boy's team umpire.
"Are you insane," Haku shouted back, "those are illegal!" "Both of you shut up, or I'll give both atomic wedgies, and you'll be so sore, that you can't sit down for a month," Satsuki threantened. Both boys backed down, as Satsuki could give killer wedgies. Mora smacked the astringball over the fence, and the game was won! Afterwards, everyone played tag.
Meanwhile, the meeting had gotten to the lottery, and the jobs were assigned by seat number. Everyone was asleep, when Jigo called, "C-7 and R-2!"
"What the?-" Toki shouted, "The damn thing's rigged!" san sweatdropped. Oh well, just like last year. Korohku pulled his wife back down onto the bench, but Toki was already planning revenge.
After all was said and done, the meeting let out, and as the kids greeted their parents, a banner flew overhead, showing a rather bad skecth of Gonza in drag, saying," Gonza-chan's a fink!"
San went wide-eyed, while Ashi-taka fell over anime style. Toki wound up paying a fine, and everyone went home laughing over Toki's prank, although none of the kids got then joke.
