A/N: Ten! Ten! Ten! Hello there! This is tendaysromeo and welcome to the eighth chapter of DreamTheater Intermix: The World Within! Nothing much to say, so let's start this chapter!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.
The next morning in the City Saints Academy where everyone are currently doing their daily routines which includes the tenants of the Corona House.
Well... one of them is about to wake up.
Inside Eddy Skipper McGee's room, we see the aforementioned boy slowly coming out of his slumber, Eddy sat up like a certain wrestling 'deadman' before placing his feet down on the floor.
Eddy had a disoriented expression, his eyes would take turns in blinking, he reaches a hand behind his back and began to rub it while making popping sounds with his mouth.
Eddy slowly got up from his bed, back hunch down and his arms dangling in front before sluggishly making his way towards the bathroom. Upon entering the room, Eddy made his way to the sink and began to wash his face before realizing that he is still wearing his clothes from yesterday.
"I should take a shower and get some fresh clothes." Eddy said to himself.
Taking off his shirt, Eddy neatly folded it before tossing it inside a clothes bin, he then looks at himself on the mirror and did a double-take while his eyes went wide in shock.
"What the?!" Eddy squawked.
Looking at himself on the mirror, Eddy is now sporting a rather muscular physique, his chest is much more wider and his arms had noticeable muscles in it. Heck, he is even sporting six-packed abs.
"What the hell happened to me?" Eddy uttered in confusion.
Eddy then mindlessly began to flex his new found physique, posing in the mirror with various tough guy poses while mimicking pro-wrestlers' taunts at the same time.
A grin then formed around his face, "Hello new Eddy~" Eddy greeted rather proudly, "I can't wait to tell the guys about this!" he exclaimed in excitement.
Meanwhile, walking down the hallways of the seventh floor, Eddward "Edd & Double D" Marion Vicente, Edwin "Ed" Horace Hall and Rolf Von Olsson are on their way to pick up Eddy and Tenma Daytona Romeoford in their respective rooms while having conversation about the loud footsteps that they've heard from the previous night.
"I wonder who the person running in the hallways last night." Double D thought out loud, "It was so loud that it interrupted my suppose eight hours of sleep." he shared, "Actually... it was Miss Koyomi's scream that woke me up." he thought.
Rolf smashed a fist on his right palm, "Once the son of shepherd discovers the slumber disturbing hooligan, he or she will suffer the mighty three shoe beating!" he declared.
"I wonder what's for breakfast." Ed thought out loud.
The three boys then arrives in front of Tenma's room with Double D knocking on the door, "Tenma, we're heading towards the dining area for breakfast!" he called out, "Are you all dressed up?" he asked.
The door then opens up and the three boys were surprised to see Tenma with blood-shot eyes and a rather tired expression as if he woke up from a hangover.
"Hey guys..." Tenma wheezed.
"Ten, what happened to you?" Ed asked in concern.
"Did you not get enough sleep last night?" Double D asked, "Did the loud running footsteps disturbed you as well?" he assumed.
"Loud running footsteps?" Tenma uttered in confusion.
Rolf nodded in response, "Yes." he confirmed, "Some hooligan made a horse run across the passage called hallway and disrupted the slumber of Rolf and friends." he explained.
Tenma stares at them in silence for a few minutes when his eyes widen in realization after remembering the events from last night, "O-Oh..." he uttered in disbelief.
Double D crosses his arms, "I guess the loud running footsteps are the reason why you look like that." he confirmed.
"Good morning, boys." a voice greeted.
The boys then turns around to see Shizuka Kasagi walking towards them.
"Good morning, Miss Shizuka." Double D greeted back, "What can we do for you?" he inquired.
"I believe that all of you are aware of the loud noise that was heard all around the apartment last night." Shizuka assumed with the boys nodding in response except for Tenma, "Everyone seems to be upset by this and I'm currently looking at it right now." she stated, "Have you boys seen anything during that time?" she inquired.
Rolf shook his head, "Rolf saw nothing." he answered.
"I'm more concern with Miss Koyomi at that time." Double D admitted.
"Ed is sleeping." Ed shared with a big smile.
Shizuka then turns to Tenma, "What about you, Tenma-san?" she asked.
Tenma stood in silence for a couple minutes with sweats pouring down his face, he took a deep breath before finally opening his mouth to speak.
"Sorry everyone..." Tenma apologized, "The person running around last night in the hallways..." he mentioned, "... was actually me." he confessed.
The boys and Shizuka looks at him in utter shock, "Eh?" was all their response.
Tenma then began to explain everything that happened last night including his encounter with Jeff the Killer, Himiko Toga and Yui Kotegawa.
Shizuka crosses her arms, "I see." she uttered in acknowledgement, "You went out last night to get some fresh air because you can't sleep however you encountered some people that they scared you by their presence and after a member of the City Saint's Academy Disciplinary Committee told you head back inside, you wasted no time running back to your room." she elaborated.
"I'm sorry once again." Tenma apologized again with his head down, "My mind went blank at that time and I was so scared that I had no idea I was making noise as I run back to my room." he explained.
Shizuka sighed in response, "I guess I can't really be mad at you after that experience." she admitted, "Anyway, I do hope that what happened last night won't be repeated again." she admonished, "And I suggest that you refrain yourself from going out of the apartment at such very late time." she advised.
"After what I've experienced last night..." Tenma mentioned, "... I'm more than willing to sleep at seven o'clock." he shared.
"That's way before curfew." Double D pointed out.
"For the sake of my safety and insanity, I'm not taking any chances." Tenma reasoned.
"Are you going to tell everyone that Ten was the person who made the noise last night?" Ed asked.
Shizuka shook her head, "I'm not going to do that." she answered, "I understand what Tenma-san did last night and I trust him that he won't do it again." she reasoned, "I'll just tell everyone that everything is resolved and I'll reassure everyone that it won't happen again." she stated.
"I'm forever grateful to you, Miss Shizuka." Tenma expressed in gratitude.
"Anyway..." Shizuka uttered, "I'm heading towards the dining area to talk to our head cook." she shared, "I assume that you boys are heading towards the dining area as well, so I suggest that we head there together." she beckoned.
Double D nodded in response, "That would be delightful." he accepted.
"Just let me change clothes and I'll join you guys in a bit." Tenma advised before closing the door of his room.
"Should we go get Eddy for now?" Ed asked.
Shizuka shook her head, "We should let him sleep." she replied, "I don't think it's alright for him to walk around after suffering such an injury at the back of his head." she reasoned.
"I agree." Double D said in agreement.
At the first floor of the Corona House, the large dining area is currently filled with tenants and all of them are having breakfast while having a conversation at the same time.
At one table, Kevin Dorscherr is having a conversation with three boys named Dash Baxter, Kwan Phan and Rudolph "Lightning" Jackson while at another table, Nazz Van Bartonschmeer is seen exchanging email addresses with two girls named Mina Ashido and Koyume Koizuka.
In another table right next to Nazz's group, Jimmy Tweetums and Sarah Hall are having a lively conversation with Abby Hatcher, Dora Marquez and Diego Marquez while Jonny 2x4 and Plank sat alone in one table with no one to talk to but themselves.
Other people present in the dining area are Lee Kanker, Marie Kanker, May Kanker, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Honoka Kousaka, Kotori Minami, Umi Sonoda, Hidenori Tabata, Irino Tadakuni, Yoshitake Tanaka, Hatano Mitsuo, Kuroshima Motoharu, Chapatsu Haisha, Megane Kurokami, Ichika Orimura, Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott, Zed Necrodopolis, Addison Wells, Johnny Bravo, Naruto Uzumaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ryuuko Matoi, Kyouko Yamate, Kousaku Hata, Yuugo Hachiken, Yuka Hanazawa, Ryouko Asuka, Caulifla, Miharu Sena Kanaka, Kirie Kojima, Koyomi Hare Nanaka, Kaname Chidori, Doowee McAdam and Sally Bollywood.
And despite being in different tables, everyone had on thought in mind, the loud noise from last night.
At one table...
"Jesus Christ!" Lee cursed, "I don't know about you gals but when I find out who made those noise last night, he/she will be getting an ass-whooping that they'll never forget!" declared.
"I hear ya." Caulifla uttered in agreement, "I only got three hours of sleep thanks to that." she grumbled.
Yuka grinned in response, "Sucks to be you, huh?" she mused, "I managed to get back to sleep after the noise subsided." she shared.
"Piss off." Caulifla scoffed.
At another table...
"Admit it, Tadakuni!" Hidenori demanded, "You're the guy who made those noise last night!" he accused.
"Why would you think it was me?" Tadakuni questioned in disbelief.
"Because we're all aware how frustrated you are of being called the 'normal one' in our group!" Hidenori reasoned, "And creating those noise last night is your poor attempt to get everyone's attention!" he added.
"Bullshit!" Tadakuni dismissed, "I'm not desperate enough to do such a thing!" he reasoned before pointing a finger at Yoshitake, "I bet it's Yoshitake!" he accused, "He loves to troll everyone, so I'm pretty sure that he did it!" he reasoned.
Yoshitake scoffed in response, "I maybe a prankster..." he admitted, "... but even I had standards." he said, "I mean..." he uttered, "... who in the right mind would make such noise at that time of the night especially when people already sleeping." he reasoned.
"Exactly what a prankster would do!" Tadakuni pointed out, "What better way for a prankster to gain shit and giggles is to prank people by disturbing their sleeps!" he reasoned.
"Point taken." Yoshitake acknowledged, "But that doesn't mean that I'll do it or I did it." he insisted before pointing a finger at Hidenori, "But I believe it's four eyes who did it!" he accused.
"What?! Why me?!" Hidenori demanded in disbelief.
"Because that's just the way it is." Yoshitake reasoned.
Tadakuni and Hidenori facefaulted while staring at Yoshitake in utter disbelief, "Yoshitake..." the raven-haired boy uttered, "... if you're gonna accuse Hidenori..." he mentioned, "... you need to come up with a good reason why." he advised.
At yet another table...
Sunset and Twilight are eating their breakfast with the former reading a newspaper and the latter checking her phone when a girl named Rainbow Dash sat on their table.
"Ugh!" Rainbow groaned loudly, "I had the most horrible night." she shared.
"Everyone suffered a horrible night, Rainbow Dash." Twilight pointed out, "You're not alone in that department." she stated.
Rainbow rolled her eyes, "Still..." she uttered, "... who in the right mind would run around while making loud footsteps at that time of the night!" she complained.
"We've been asking the same question ever since." Sunset replied.
"You two look fine." Rainbow pointed out, "Did the noise even bothered you last night?" she questioned.
"Sunset and I were wearing a special earmuffs that I created." Twilight answered, "It had the options to block out unnecessary noises which is why Sunset and I weren't disturbed by noise and managed to get a good night sleep." she explained.
"Lucky." Rainbow grumbled.
Twilight then turned to Sunset, "By the way, Sunset..." the bespectacled girl called out, "... I heard that it's your turn to welcome the new students coming today, right?" she assumed.
Sunset smiled in response, "Yes I am." she confirmed.
Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, "Oh yeah, Pinkie Pie was the one who guided the new kids yesterday." she recalled, "Have you met any of them yet?" she asked.
"They're a nice bunch." Sunset answered with a smile, "Although one of them is pretty dimwitted." he recalled while referring to Ed, "I really hope that the new kids are a normal bunch." she expressed, "Don't wanna repeat another Dazzlings fiasco." she admitted.
"How are those girls doing by the way?" Twilight inquired.
Sunset shrugged her shoulders, "They're doing good." she answered, "Still serving detention." she added.
"How long have they've been in the Detention Center?" Rainbow asked.
"About three weeks." Sunset answered, "But I believe that they'll be out by the end of month." she assumed.
Rainbow scoffed in response, "That's what they get for causing trouble in the battle of the bands." she said, "Troublemakers like them deserves to be locked up in the Detention Center." she declared.
"Like you." Twilight pointed out with a teasing smirk.
"One time! That's just one time!" Rainbow squawked in embarrassment.
Sunset chuckled in amusement before noticing Shizuka, Tenma, Double D, Ed and Rolf entering the dining area and their arrival got everyone's attentions when a girl named Yui Yuigahama approaches them.
"Shizuka-san!" Yui called out.
"Yes, Yuigahama-san?" Shizuka replied.
"Did you find out who made the noise last night?" Yui asked.
Her question made Tenma nervous but fortunately for him, Shizuka is on his side, "Yes I am." she confirmed, "But unfortunately, I do not plan on revealing who they are." she shared.
"Eh? Why?" Yui asked in confusion.
"Apparently, the person who made the noise last night were frightened by something and they ran back to their room without realizing that they're making noise." she explained, "They came to me this morning and admitted to their fault, and they are genuinely apologetic of what they've done, so I decided to give them a slap on the wrist." she stated.
"I see." Yui uttered in acknowledgement, "I guess we can't really blame them for that." she expressed with everyone sharing the same sentiment.
"Waiwaitwait, whoa whoa whoa, hold on for a minute there!" a boy named Eric Cartman interrupted from one table, "Give us the name of the person who made the noise last night?" he inquired.
Shizuka frowned in response, "Like I said before, I do not plan on revealing who the person is." she replied.
Eric then pounds a hand on the table, "That is bullcrap!" he exclaimed, "You are denying our rights as tenants to totally rip on that person and make him or her feel like an outcast!" he expressed in disbelief.
"Cartman-san..." Shizuka uttered, "... that kind of treatment is not welcome in this apartment." she reminded.
"Like we care!" Eric expressed in defiance, "Regardless of their reasons, they deserve to be treated like crap!" he declared, "Right everyone?" he beckoned but received no response, "Guys?" he called out once more but no one responded. Eric growled in response before getting up from his table, "Screw you bitches and son of a bitches!" he exclaimed, "Mark my words..." he uttered, "... I'll find this person and make sure to turn their life into a living hell!" he declared before walking out of the dining area.
Shizuka sighed in response, "That guy will always try and find a way to humiliate someone for his own amusement." she shared.
"I got a feeling that guy is going to be a thorn on my side." Tenma commented with an annoyed expression.
"I wonder how Eddy is doing?" Ed thought out loud.
Back inside Eddy's room, the former scam artist is still admiring his new physique on the mirror.
"Oh yeah~" Eddy uttered in glee, "Who is that good-looking fella?" he asked.
Suddenly his reflection spoke, "Would you mind if I answer that?" his reflection questioned with a grin.
Eddy's eyes shrunk in shock when his reflection spoke, "WAAAAAAAAA-" he was screaming when his reflection reaches a hand to him.
And everything went black.
