~THE DANCE~
"Seriously? Never? Man, where do you live, a cave?" Duo screeched.
"Duo, not everyone likes your weird and outlandish taste in movies." Wufei commented dryly.
"C'mon Van, you've never even HEARD of 'The Rave of Shock Tarts'?" Duo cried. "It's such a cool movie."
Van shook his head. "Nope, I've never heard of it. What is it?"
"I think it's one of those awful Godzilla movies Duo is obsessed with." Wufei joked.
"HEY! Godzilla is cool man!" Duo defended the monster.
"Don't you two have dates?" Wufei asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, they are in the bathroom." Duo sighed.
"So is Hotaru, what do they do in there?" Jim joined the three guys standing by the punch table.
"One of the mysteries of the universe." Van commented.
"Nice tie, Jim." Wufei laughed.
Jim glanced down at his black and gray tie that had little white 'moos' all over it. It matched his white dress shirt and black pants. "Hey, Hotaru likes it!" Jim defended the tie. "And at least I'm wearing one!"
Wufei glanced down at his black pants and white Chinese style shirt and shrugged. "Some onna in my Women of the World class said I'd look cute in one so I made an effort not to wear one."
"Same here." Van gestured to his red shirt and black pants that matched Hitomi's red cocktail dress.
Duo shrugged. "Ties cramp my style." He struck a pose in his black pants and black shirt uttering "Vogue!"
"Weird Madonna obsessed American." Wufei muttered.
The gym of the school was decorated in red and gold streamers and balloons. Tables were set up in the back of the gym with nice white table cloths. Dance lights by the turn tables flashed on and off while the school DJ worked his dancing magic. The floor was hot and crowded with hot, dancing bodies. In the mass they could make out Minako in her long pink dress with the slits up the side dancing with Ryoga in his black and white attire. His hands were on her hips to keep himself from getting lost.
Usagi and Ranma walked into the gym moments later. Ranma was in a nice blue Chinese shirt with silver buttons and black pants. Usagi matched in her short, blue and silver Chinese style dress. Her hair was up in two braided 'odangos' leaving no tails. Duo waved the couple over.
"Hey guys!" Ranma and Usagi greeted.
"Hey Ranma, Usagi." They greeted back.
"Usagi, what are the girls doing in the bathroom?" Duo asked exasperated.
Trowa and Quatre joined the group. "Yes, I'm starting to worry about Ami." Quatre glanced over his shoulder at the bathroom door. "Girls keep going in but not going out."
"Do you think something is wrong?" Van asked worriedly, the others looked anxious.
Usagi giggled. "You all are SO naïve." She waved and walked over to the bathroom to check on her friends.
Quatre eyed the punch. "That looks refreshing, I wonder what flavor it might be?" Quatre asked reaching for a glass.
Duo's eyes widened and he grabbed the cup away from him and tossed it behind him, drenching the wall. "DON'T!" He yelled.
Wufei tried not to break out laughing.
"What is wrong with the punch?" Trowa asked warily.
Van rolled his eyes. "Duo tried to liven it up."
"In other words, the flavor of the punch is BiCardi." Wufei told his fellow pilots.
Quatre's eyes widened. "Duo! You didn't!"
Duo grinned impishly and winked. "Yes I did, it was BiCardi or Vodka, and BiCardi is more festive sounding."
Quatre groaned and shook his head disapprovingly.
Meanwhile, in the Girls Bathroom…
She walked into to see a mass huddle of girls, most her friends. "What's going on?" She asked puzzled.
Makoto's eyes lit up. "Usagi! That dress is SO cute!" She gushed.
"Thanks! I knew that little green number would be a killer on you!" Usagi complimented.
"Usagi! This is a life and death situation!" Rei screeched. "Red-red, red rose, or rose red?" She asked holding up the three lipsticks.
Usagi frowned and took the tubes of red, studying each carefully and comparing them to Rei's long, red dress. "Put on the red rose and go over it with my crystal pearl gloss." Usagi decided handing Rei the small tube of gloss from her purse.
"You're a life saver Usagi!" Rei breathed.
"Usagi smart." Shampoo patted her friend on the back.
"Thanks!" Usagi giggled taking back the gloss from Rei. "The guys are starting to worry about you all." Usagi nodded towards the door.
"OHMIGAWD! I forgot about them!" Makoto cried grabbing Ami and hauling ass out the door.
"I guess we should too." Hitomi nodded. The rest of the gang followed her out.
"They emerge!" Duo cried falling to his knees.
Akane hit him lightly on the arm. "We didn't take that long." She protested.
"Not that long? I thought I was getting gray hairs out here!" He cried.
Shampoo gently pulled Ranma aside while Usagi was laughing at Duo. "Ranma, Do Usagi know what happen to Ranma when you get wet?" Shampoo asked urgently.
Ranma laughed nervously. "No…"
Shampoo sighed. "If Ranma really like her, Ranma show her, and stay away from table of punch."
Ranma nodded in understanding. "So Ranma, you ready for some dancing action?" Usagi asked turning to her date.
Ranma nodded enthusiastically. "SURE!"
Ranma and Usagi made their way into the mass of swaying bodies and joined in on the madness.
Duo bowed elegantly to Akane with a silly grin on his face. "Shall we dance?"
Akane giggled but tried to look serious. "We shall!"
Duo swept Akane into the fray ballroom style, and failing horribly, but did give Akane the time of her life.
Trunks and Gohan walked in a bit later. Trunks wore a black button-down shirt and black pants while Gohan wore a navy blue shirt with black pants. Ever since auto shop, and winning the game, the two were getting along fine, for the most part.
"Well, the place looks great." Trunks commented looking around.
"There's our group." Gohan pointed to the people standing near the punch table. They made their way to the laughing group, noticing Usagi and Ranma dancing and Duo and Akane… who knows what you'd classify them doing. The two were laughing and spinning and dipping a retarded waltz.
"Hey guys!" Rei greeted. "Come to join the dateless group."
Heero, Rei, Wufei, Shampoo, and now Trunks and Gohan looked out on the floor. Heero was only here because of his nomination, and Merle had excused herself saying she was 'grooming'. Haruka and Michiru were dancing, as well as Gene and Melfina. "Who needs to have dates?" Trunks asked. Rei raised an eyebrow.
"Shampoo wait for slow song so dance with Ranma." Shampoo told him.
Gohan smirked at Trunks. "Sorry, I don't swing your way." He joked.
"Haha." Trunks replied dryly.
Wufei snorted. "Neither do I, there are yaoi lovers in my Women of the World class, that turned me off from even thinking that way." Wufei shuddered.
Trunks turned to Rei. "Dance with me?"
Rei shrugged. "Sure."
The two made their way to the floor.
"Does this mean Usagi is forgotten?" Wufei asked.
Gohan looked clueless. "Kami knows." He replied.
Shampoo leaned against the punch table. "Punch look good."
"I wouldn't drink that if I were you." Wufei warned.
Shampoo through him an ignorant look. "No man decide what best for Shampoo!" She gulped the glass down in one gulp.
"baka onna, I was only trying to help her." Wufei muttered.
Gohan looked probing. "What's wrong with the punch?" He asked.
"Duo and BiCardi." He replied.
Shampoo hiccupped. "What BiCardi?"
"Strong liquor." Wufei told her.
Shampoo giggled. "Oopsy?"
"Uh-oh." Gohan sighed.
"Attention everyone!" The music shut off and the spot light fell on the stage to Mr. Weizer and Miss Aisha. Aisha began again, "It is now time to announce the winners of the Royalty contest."
The room was as quiet as a tomb.
"The prizes will include tickets to the next Zanarkland Abes Blitzball Game! We will start with the Freshman Lord. The nominees are: Hawking Jim, Masque Leo, and Turner Dawson." Mr. Weizer read off a sheet. "And the winner is, Jim! Congratulations bud!"
Jim turned bright read and went to the stage to except with plastic leaf crown, it was placed on his head. Mr. Weizer gave him the tickets.
Miss Aisha began the Ladies. "The nominees were: Rhodes Jackie, Tomoe Hotaru, and Pueblo Patty. And our little Lady is… Hotaru!"
Hotaru flushed a bright red that contrasted to her pain skin. She made her way up to the stage and had a crown of fake roses placed on her head. She looked at the tickets and wondered if she could give them to Haruka-papa.
Miss Aisha began again. "And our Sophomore Duke nominees are: Son Gohan, Winner Quatre and Maxwell Duo. The lucky guy is… our great football player, GOHAN!" The room roared as Gohan trotted up to the stage and took the plastic leaf crown and a football jersey that read "DUKE OF FOOTBALL" on the back. He put it on over his blue shirt and stuck the tickets in his pocket.
Mr. Weizer patted Gohan on the back before beginning again. "Our Duchess nominees are: Shampoo of Chinese Amazons, Tendo Akane and Tsukino Usagi, the lucky girl is… our upcoming mechanic, Usagi!"
Usagi shot Minako a look before going up on stage. Whistles rang out as the rose crown was placed on her head and a track shirt that read "'Cause I'm the duchess, that's why!". Usagi laughed and folded up the shirt with the tickets in it. Hotaru hugged her princess in relief that she had someone to go to the game with.
Aisha began again. "And the Junior Prince nominees are: Fanel Van, Saotome Ranma and Yuy Heero. The prince is… Mr. Leave-me-the-hell-alone himself! Heero!"
Heero spit out his punch he was drinking. "HNNNN!?" He looked up flabbergasted. 'Who the hell voted for ME?' He wondered.
"He's sooo hott!"
"I know that's why I voted for him!"
"He's dreamy."
Rei and Trunks looked around at all the girls with stars in their eyes. "Poor Heero has a fan club, the… Yuyies!" Trunks laughed. Rei shot Trunks a reprimanding look before laughing as well.
Heero walked cautiously to the stage taking his silver crown and Blitzball tickets.
Mr. Weizer smiled and began to read the next set of nominees. "Junior Princess Nominees are: Aino Minako, Kino Makoto and Hino Rei. Our little princess is… REI!"
"WHAT?" Minako screeched. "Why isn't it ME? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?" She sobbed on Ryoga's shoulder. Ryoga turned bright red and patted her on the back.
Rei was just as surprised. "Looks like you have your own fan club." Trunks winked. Rei still stood in shock with her mouth hanging open. Trunks gave her a gentle nudge, which stirred her back in to action. She walked up to the stage and took her little silver crown and tickets.
Usagi laughed and hugged her friend. "I bet Minako didn't expect this!" Rei smiled back.
Mr. Weizer began again. "Now, for the Homecoming King… the nominees were Briefs Trunks, Starwind Gene and- do I even have to go on? We all know our OUTSTANDING quarterback is the King!"
Deafening cheers filled the room as several people slapped Trunks on the back. Trunks jogged up to the stage with a huge grin and took the gold crown and tickets. "Way to go my man!" Gohan applauded.
"Not too bad yourself!" Trunks rubbed Gohan's head.
Aisha took the microphone. "And now… the Homecoming queen nominees. They are: Spjuth Cora, Spellman Sabrina, and Kaioh Michiru. Our Queen is… Michiru!" Haruka shot a nasty glare at the sobbing Minako.
Michiru made her way through the crowd to accept the gold crown and tickets. Usagi and Hotaru hugged the girl breathless.
"That is our Homecoming Royalty!" Claps and hoots echoed around the gym.
"Gooooooood for Usa-hic-gi!" Shampoo waved her arm up and down.
Wufei shook his head. "Baka onna is now a weak, drunk onna."
"Shampoo no –hic- weak!" She cried out stumbling.
"No? You only had two glasses! And you're drunk!"
"Shampoo not drunk, just a little –hic- confused." Shampoo giggled.
Wufei rolled his eyes.
"Heero drunk three glasses." Shampoo purred and spun a bit.
"Heero knows he has a high tolerance. I don't blame him for drinking, if I won Prince I'd drain the bowl!" Wufei bit back.
Usagi had gone back to dancing with Ranma when the lights flickered and then went off. The music went of abruptly and a hushed and confused silence fell on the room.
Then the room was spurred into action. Several screams rang out and many ran to find the exit. Miss Aisha and Mr. Weizer went looking for the circuit breaker for the gym. Usagi felt Ranma tense and settle into a defense attack position. Usagi groped for her locker that was tucked under her collar. Gohan and Trunks prepared to transform into super Saiya-jins. The rest of the Senshi clutched their transformation pens. Ryoga and Akane readied for a fight, while the Gundam pilots tensed for battle. Shampoo tried to concentrate in a ready position but kept swaying back and forth.
Ranma felt Usagi leave his side making a slight swoon.
"Usagi?" He called out softly, his sense prickling that something was wrong. His senses confirmed when he didn't hear Usagi answer.
"Usagi?" He called louder.
"USAGI!"
The lights flashed back on momentarily blinding the martial artist.
"Where's Usagi?" He turned to his friends.
"Wasn't she with you?" Ryoga asked frowning.
"Usagi?" Minako called out through the confused crowd.
"Maybe she's outside." Duo suggested.
Rei shook her head. "She wouldn't have, something is wrong, I can feel it." She confirmed Ranma's suspicions.
"Well? What are we waiting for?" Gohan asked holding up his fist and resembling Goku more than ever.
"Yeah!" The group cried out.
~@~
Usagi was dead tired. She tried to stay awake but the urge to sleep was so overpowering that she just wanted to cuddle up with her stuffed bunny and go to bed. But she knew something was wrong.
"She's very resistant to the sleep spell." A voice reached her ears. She felt herself being carried and placed gently in the backseat of a car.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, how do we know that this girl is gonna work?"
"…"
"C'mon Squall, talk to me!" The excited voice reached her ears again.
"Shut up Chicken wuss!"
"We're suppose to be quiet, moron."
"Seifer, Tasuki! Why do ya always pick on me?" The voice cried out in frustration.
Squall? Seifer? Tasuki? Why did all these names sound so familiar to her? But sleep was the only thing on her mind.
The engine started and Usagi felt herself moving. She gave one last futile attempt to move but gave up. Sleep was the only thing on her mind. Sleep…
