Hey everyone, what's shaking? Heh, sorry for the lame intro. Anyway – here we are with chapter 10 of Log On! Finally to the double digits! (Speaking of which – this fic might be around 25 chapters long or so…eeks…)
Note: I'm such a dolt. Souchirou's name is SO hard to spell that I've probably been spelling it differently every chapter! I'm so sorry for this mistake and I promise that it shall be remedied! From now on I'll spell his name correctly: Souchirou.
Another Note: A HORRIBLE mistake has been made that has been pointed out to me by Steeple33! I now award him/her with the "Haha, I Helped the Author Remember Something" Award!
(drums roll)
Anyway! Mia in the last chapter is not the Mia in the game, but an original character belonging to SailorStar165! Just to make that clear!
Anyway – I want to thank all the reviewers so far; I appreciate your reviews very much!
NOW! Onto the chapter!
Chapter 10 – Slumber Party
"MAAI!" Mai jumped back as a hand slammed her locker door shut with great force, making a giant CLANG! sound. Mai looked up at whoever had slammed the door shut to see Ayumi smiling in her direction. "Hey!"
"Ayumi!" Mai cried. "You nearly scared me to death!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Ayumi laughed.
"What do you want?" Mai asked, opening her locker again to retrieve her books, only to have Ayumi shut it once more.
"I'm having a slumber party at my house this weekend!" Ayumi told her. "A lot of the girls from the cheer squad will be there, along with Ryoko. Want to come?"
"I've never been to a slumber party before…" Mai mumbled.
"Man! What rock did you grow up under?" Ayumi asked, wrinkling her nose. "It'll be really fun! We can watch TV, eat popcorn, talk about movie stars, you know! Girl stuff!"
Mai looked warily at Ayumi, who was still smiling widely. "Sure…I'll come."
"Yay!" Ayumi jumped up and down. "The party's on Saturday at 8:30! Don't be late!"
"I won't, I won't," Mai snarled, opening her locker once again.
"Oh! And one more thing!" Ayumi smirked and leaned close next to Mai. "We'll be playing Truth or Dare."
"What?" Mai asked, stepping back. Ayumi took her hand and promptly slammed the locker shut once more.
"Just kidding!" she laughed at the fuming Mai and ran down the hall, doing a cartwheel or back flip every now and then.
"I feel dumb." Ryoko and Mai were outside Ayumi's house that Saturday night with their sleeping bags. Ryoko had come grudgingly, her black sleeping bag under her arm, her torn violet shirt and ripped black jeans hanging loose on her hips and shoulders. "This is dumb." Ryoko repeated.
"Maybe it'll be fun!" Mai insisted. She herself had dressed in a white top and red skirt, her crimson colored sleeping bag under her arm, along with her pajamas. "Ayumi said that some girls from the cheer squad would be there."
"And that's a pro because?" Ryoko asked. "If they're anything like Ayumi, this party is going to be hell."
"Hey…" Mai stopped as the two both hesitated to ring the doorbell. She peered down at Ryoko's black jeans, and noticed a shining belly chain attached around the belt loop. "What's that? I've never seen you wear that before."
"Oh, this?" Ryoko motioned to the chain and Mai nodded. "Sean gave it to me."
"Sean?" Mai asked.
"Yeah," Ryoko nodded, shrugging her shoulders. "He says it's an "American Chain", but I can't tell the difference between the Japanese and the American ones." Ryoko stopped as well, peering at Mai's hair, in which she finally noticed an accessory. "What's that in your hair?"
"Oh this?" Mai pointed to her hair, blushing. She pulled the shining accessory out to reveal a hairpin, colored light red with a tiny jewel on it. "Hiromi gave it to me. He said it was an early birthday present."
"I see," Ryoko smirked, nudging Mai with her elbow. "Did he give you a kiss with that pin?"
"N-no!" Mai blushed as red as her sleeping bag, then hastily rung the doorbell.
A few seconds later, Ayumi, dressed in a canary yellow tank top and matching pajama pants, threw open the door, greeting the two. "Hey guys! Welcome to the party! C'mon in, the girls are waiting!"
"Uhh…coming!" Mai walked into Ayumi's house after her, Ryoko following begrudgingly at her tail. They walked through the hall until they finally reached a door that read "Ayumi's Room!" and Ayumi threw it open.
"Hey guys!" Ayumi called to the three girls in the room. "Mai and Ryoko are here!" The three looked up, and Mai knew almost instantly who they were. "Guys, you know Misaki, Kisaki, and Nisaki, right?"
"Hi!" The three girls said simultaneously, waving.
"Not the Isaki Clique," Ryoko groaned inwardly to Mai. The Isakis were three very popular girls on the cheer squad who dressed alike, looked alike, even had names that sounded the same. Each of them had straight brown hair, separated in two braids. Misaki wore pink pajamas, Kisaki wore green pajamas, and Nisaki wore blue pajamas. By there sides were matching pom-poms.
"What's up?" Misaki asked, getting up.
"We're totally pumped--" Kisaki started.
"That you came!" Nisaki finished, and Mai and Ryoko sweatdropped.
"Uhh, should we get changed Ayumi?" Mai asked, desperate to be away from the three girls.
"Sure, the bathrooms right over there!" Ayumi pointed. "Feel free to leave your clothes on top of the sink!"
"OH MY GOD, THEY'RE CHANGING! SHUT IT OFF SOUCHIROU!"
"I'm very sorry that I was not able to plant the camera on Ayumi-sama or I would have gotten to see her--"
"IF YOU FINISH THAT SENTENCE--"
Click!
"Sean!" Souchirou turned around, only to have his eyeglasses knocked off his face by a cluster of leaves. He caught them just before they hit the ground. Sean had just flicked off what looked like a laptop. "What did you do that for?"
"I'm no pervert," Sean said, leaning back against the trunk of the tree.
Yes, all three boys, Hiromi, Souchirou, and Sean, were in a tree. But not just any tree, the tree that was just outside Ayumi's house. With Souchirou's most advanced laptop, they were watching the party from the inside on the screen, all three of them dressed in all black sweaters, pants, and sock hats. Souchirou had even completed the look with black face-paint.
"I can't believe you talked me into this!" Hiromi rasped. "This is so perverted!"
"We are just observing the girls to see what they have to talk about," Souchirou said innocently. "There is nothing to fear, really. We are simply doing this as a precaution. They might slip something about us being ring holders to the other girls."
"You just want to spy on them without their bras on, right?"
"WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BE SO BLUNT, SEAN?"
"Anyway," Hiromi bit the inside of his mouth. "Giving Mai that hairpin was so embarrassing, I thought I was going to die. Why couldn't you have given it to her?"
"She would have become suspicious," Souchirou reasoned. "Just as Ryoko would have if I had given her the belt." He flicked the computer back on to see the side of a porcelain sink, only to have Sean turn it immediately off once more. "They never suspected that there were microscopic cameras inside of them."
"There's no way they're going to keep them on when they're in their pajamas," Sean pointed out.
"Ha!" Souchirou smirked triumphantly. "That, my friend, is where my brilliant plan comes into action!"
"Ow!" Mai winced as she tried to pull Hiromi's hairpin from her hair. Ryoko turned around, already having her black night shirt on.
"What's wrong?" Ryoko asked.
"It won't come off!" Mai grumbled. "I think it's stuck!"
"Let me see, I'll yank it out."
"NO! That's fine, I'll just keep it on," Mai laughed nervously. Ryoko shrugged as she zipped down her pants.
"Have it your w--" She stopped and yanked at the zipper.
"What's wrong?" Mai asked.
"Damn, the damn zipper won't come down!" Ryoko snapped. She tried again and again. "It's stuck! There's no way I'm cutting through these jeans. I'll just sleep in them, then take 'em off in the morning."
"Okay," Mai nodded, now fully changed, and walked into the room.
"They're done!" Souchirou whispered to the two, motioning them over to the laptop. "Look!" He pointed to the two screens on the computer, one at waist level, the other at eye level.
"Souchirou, let's just go!" Hiromi told him. "If they find us, we're totally toast!"
"Shhh!" Souchirou waved his hand to hush Hiromi. "They're starting!"
"Let's play a game!" Ayumi cheered.
"Yay!" Misaki smiled.
"A--" Kisaki started.
"Game!" Nisaki finished.
"That is too creepy…" Mai whispered to Ryoko.
"The ONLY game you can play at a slumber party is…" Ayumi looked at the group, then smiled evilly and pulled out a glue bottle from her desk. She put it in the center and smiled. "Truth or Dare!"
"HUH!" Both Ryoko and Mai blushed furiously.
"Yes!" The Isaki girls cheered.
"Truth--"
"Or--"
"Dare!"
"We're off!" Ayumi spun the bottle. "Who will be the first…?" The bottle spun, and spun, and spun, Mai looking at it worriedly.
"This is most interesting!" Souchirou observed. "They're playing truth or dare!"
"HUH!" Hiromi screamed, almost making Sean fall out of the tree from surprise. "Wh-what?" he ran over to the laptop and shoved Souchirou out of the way to watch.
"Hmm…bad luck," Souchirou frowned. "It seems that Misaki-san was chosen first."
"She's picking dare," Sean observed, peering over the two boy's heads. "Funny…I didn't know she could say more then three words without her twins."
"Calling up Yashiro from Math?" Hiromi asked. "C'mon! That's dumb!"
"You're into this…" Sean looked at Hiromi with accusing eyes.
"Am not!"
"Shhh!" Souchirou shoved them both aside. "Misaki-san is done! She's spinning!"
"Hmm," Sean raised his eyebrows. "Looks like it landed on--"
"Ayumi!" the Isaki girls laughed as Ayumi stared at the glue bottle straight in her face.
"Oh…uhhh…Dare!" Ayumi laughed and the girls gave a low simultaneous "oooo".
"I dare you to call up Souchirou Hibiki and ask him out on a date!"
Ayumi's face drowned of color.
"HIROMI, MY CELLULAR PHONE DEVICE!" Souchirou called, his eyes wide with ecstasy and disbelief. He reached his hands out, and Hiromi put his cell phone to his ear, as if waiting for it to ring. "Oh beautiful ring tone, come to me please!"
"She's got the phone…" Sean said, reporting from the laptop. "She's dialing…calling…she's pressing "send"."
Souchirou waited, almost crying from happiness. In a second, the phone went off with a loud, "DOO, DOO, DAA, DOO!" He flipped it open almost immediately and screamed, "Of course I'll go out with you Ayumi-sama!"
"Uhh…I'm sorry, is Yumi Opochino there?"
"Hmm…seems that she dialed your home phone," Sean said as Souchirou's face drowned of color and he let the phone slide from his hand, the caller still asking for Yumi Opochino.
"Oh! He's not there? That's too bad! Thank you Hibiki-san!" Ayumi hung up and gave a sigh of relief. "Not home! Woot!"
"Too bad!" The Isaki's laughed.
"Next!" Ayumi said, recovering from the blush on her face. She spun the glue bottle a little harder then needed and the girls' faces tensed up as they watched it spin. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, it slowed down and rested on---
"Ryoko!" Ayumi laughed, and Ryoko gulped.
"Truth."
"Hah! Not so brave are you?" Ayumi teased and Ryoko blushed, frustrated. "All right, tell me, have you ever hugged Sean around the waist?"
"Has she?" Hiromi asked Sean, whose face was now the color of his hair, only darker and more on the pink side.
"Uh-uh…she…uh…she…uh…"
"Uh-uh…I…uh…I…uh…" Ryoko bit her lip and swallowed. "Yes, all right? I grabbed him when I rode his motorcycle with him! Happy?"
"Woah!" Misaki laughed.
"How--" Kisaki swooned.
"Romantic!" Nisaki finished.
"Will you PLEASE stop that?"
"Next!" Ayumi insisted and Ryoko spun the bottle fiercely.
"Man, this is stuff that guys were never meant to learn," Hiromi insisted, staring at the laptop. It was almost 2:00 A.M. Luckily, Souchirou had told the two boys' parents (or foreign home in Sean's case) that they were having their own slumber party, so their families were not worried. "We already know who each of the Isakis are dating, who they have made out with on school premises, and who they thought was even "slightly" sexy.
"It seems odd though," Sean said, opening a can of coke they had brought for the night's stakeout. "Mai hasn't been picked once."
"All right girls!" Ayumi's voice came over the computer. "Let's all try for Mai this time! C'mon lucky bottle!"
"It's spinning…" Sean reported. "And…"
"Oh man…" Mai bit her lip as she sat, cross-legged on the floor, staring straight into the face of the glue bottle. "Uhh…I…" She stared at the five girls staring at her and gulped. "Truth!"
"Ha! Mai you are oh so predictable," Ayumi laughed haughtily. "I saw that coming a mile away! Now…" She stared right into Mai's face. "Do you like Hiromi-sama?"
"Uhh…Hiromi, you might want to get over here." Sean motioned to Hiromi and Hiromi climbed over to watch the computer screen.
"What is going on?" Souchirou asked, leaning in, still sulking slightly from the wrong number on his cellphone which was now sitting comfortably in Ayumi's lawn. "Did Ayumi-sama just ask Mai-san if she romanticizes over Mimura?"
"I think so…" Sean said. "Or in laymen's terms," he stared straight into Hiromi's blushing face, "does she totally have the hots for you."
"H-Hiromi?" Mai asked, stuttering lightly. "I…uh…we…"
"You have to tell the truth!" Ayumi reminded her. "Don't forget!"
"We…we're just friends!" Mai insisted. "Nothing's going on between us."
"See?" Hiromi said, laughing lightly. "Mai's got her head straight! She's not the kind to get involved in this dumb girl junk…" He looked at the screen, his eyes lightly dull. "She's not the kind…"
"Dude, you like her." Hiromi looked up to see Sean finishing off his can of coke and throwing it into his backpack. "It's written all over your face. Ask her out, what's the worst that could happen?"
"Mai and I are just friends," Hiromi insisted. "Best friends, that's all! And what about you, why don't you ask out Ryoko?"
"I didn't ask about Ryoko," Sean reminded Hiromi.
"Look, they're putting away the glue bottle," Souchirou motioned to the boys and they crowded around the laptop. "It seems that they want to tell supernatural stories now."
"Good! Let's leave!" Hiromi snapped and jumped down from the tree so quickly that neither Sean nor Souchirou could stop him. "Are you guys coming or--"
Hiromi stopped as he heard a small ring-tone play from the grass. He looked down to see Souchirou's phone glowing with text that read "NEW BOARD MESSAGE" across the front of the phone. Hiromi gingerly picked it up. "Hey Souchirou, what's this?"
"I hooked my cellular phone device up to "The World" programming. Let me see the board message." Hiromi threw Souchirou the phone and he stared at the screen, pressing a few buttons. "Hmm…what's this?"
Sean stared over Souchirou's shoulder and his eyes widened as he read the phone. Souchirou closed it suddenly and grabbed his large black bag. "What's up?" Hiromi asked, climbing back into the tree with little difficulty due to the low branches.
"We've got a problem!" Souchirou said with worry in his voice. "A new message has just come up regarding a new Protected Area!"
"It's Theta, Wandering Closed Sanctuary," Sean said to Hiromi. "We've got to get home A.S.A.P. The message has been there for an hour already! The Prism Players might already be there."
"There's no time to get to our separate places of rest," Souchirou stated firmly.
"Then what are we supposed to do?" Hiromi asked, raising his voice slightly.
"Simple." Souchirou smiled, pulling something out of the bag. He raised his head, took off his black ski hat, and held up three "The World" headsets. "We stop it from here."
"I'm…"
"Really…"
"Tired…"
"If you don't stop that I swear to God…"
"Light's out guys!" Ayumi laughed, flicking off the lights at 2:00 A.M. They had all snuggled into their sleeping bags, Ryoko still in her stuck jeans. They all settled down to go to sleep and dream of the night they had just had.
"I wonder where Hiromi is right now…" Mai whispered after a few minutes. She tossed and turned, going to the rhythm of Ryoko's steady breathing (and slight snoring.) The Isakis breathed in unison, and Ayumi mumbled something about "Hiromi-sama" and "stupid Mai." "He'd die if he knew what we were talking about."
"What the hell?" Ryoko stirred and Mai's eyes widened as a low ring came from Ryoko's black purse. She zipped it open and flipped open the cell phone. "What do you want? Do you know what time it is? Who is this?"
"Ryoko, it's me, Hiromi!" Hiromi said over the phone. "Look, it's urgent! You guys need to get onto "The World" right away!"
"It's 2:00 in the morning," Ryoko groaned. "Can't we talk in the morning?"
"There's a protected area!"
Ryoko's eyes widened, and Mai sat up. "I'm handing you over to Mai." Ryoko handed Mai the cell phone and she spoke into it.
"Hiromi, is that you?"
"Mai, it's another protected area!" Hiromi spoke over the phone. "Can you guys get onto a computer?"
"Ayumi only has one headset!" Mai explained.
"Who said my name?" Ayumi sat up, scratching her head, obviously still tired. "What's going on…?"
"Ayumi!" Mai ran over to her. "Do you have more then one "The World" headset? We've got to get online!"
"Why?" Ayumi asked. "It's sleeping time now."
"There's another protected area!" Mai explained, and Ayumi went pale and nodded.
"My den has two more!" Ayumi nodded. "We can hook them up to my computer in that room!"
"Hiromi," Mai returned her attention to Hiromi over the phone. "We're on our way. Tell Souchirou and Sean to get on too!"
"I…uhh…already called them!" Hiromi said nervously. "We're all meeting at the Theta root down, Dun Loireag!"
"Gotcha!" Mai nodded. "See you there!" She hit the "end" button on the phone and gave it back to Ryoko. "C'mon, there's no time to waste."
"The girls are late!" Zaiten paced in front of the Chaos Gate of Dun Loireag. Achean and Orizo waited near the pillars that surrounded the Gate. "Where are they?"
"OUCH!" Orizo grabbed his foot and jumped up and down. "Zaiten! You just kicked me in the shin!"
"I did not! I've been over here the entire time!"
"He means in real life, idiot."
"Well, this tree doesn't exactly allow a lot of leg room!" Zaiten argued. "Oh no! My bag just fell off the branch!"
"Pay attention!" Orizo snapped as three sets of golden rings appeared in front of the Chaos Gate. Iam, Chikoro, and Gabriella appeared in front of them, worried expressions on their faces. "Guys! You're here, finally!"
"What's the area?" Gabriella asked. "We've got to get moving before the Prism Players show up!"
"Theta, Wandering Closed Sanctuary," said Achean, stepping forward. "Let's go."
"Right," Zaiten nodded and pulled out his ring. "It's time to hack the gates."
The gate had only required a few cores, all of which they had, and the hacking had been simple for Zaiten. He had become accustomed to it, and the others of jumping through the breach in data. Soon, they arrived at the corrupted area. The usual white of the ice and snow had turned red with raw data.
"C'mon!" Iam stepped forward, planting her spear into the snow. "We have to get to the last leg of the dungeon to stop that Data Bug!"
"Do you think another Prism Player's already down there?" Chikoro asked, shivering a little.
"It's possible…" Orizo bit his lip. "No way to find out until we get down there right?"
"Right!" Gabriella nodded, brandishing her axe. "Let's get a move on!"
"Well, here we are." The group had made its way down through the dungeon with little difficulty. Although the area was strange looking, no data bugs had shown up so far and it had been a pretty normal cruise through the dungeon. "The next room is the last one," Iam stifled a cough made from nerves.
"Look…" Zaiten pointed to the door frame where violet smoke was rising. "Definitely a Data Bug."
"We've got to beat it before it causes serious damage!" Iam told them. "Is everybody ready?" she asked and they nodded.
"Then let's go," Achean nodded and the six ran inside.
Indeed, another Data Bug awaited them. This one was a large bird with the head and torso of a human woman. Feathers grew from her head, and the entire monster was colored with the same green flakes. It roared menacingly at them, and they barred their weapons.
"Ready guys?" Iam asked and they nodded. "Charge!"
The bug was fast, and they missed most of the time. Even the quickness of Orizo's attacks and Achean's quick swings were no match for the speedy monster. "Man!" Orizo cursed. "This thing is fast!"
"Chikoro! Cast magic on it!" Iam told her and she nodded.
"Gan Don!" she yelled and the spell converged on the monster.
"Right!" Gabriella nodded. "Keep on doing that Chikoro! Everyone! Throw in your own magic!"
Soon, the entire group was casting spells on the monster. Although its physical evasion must have been extremely high, its magical evasion was low, and most of the attacks made contact.
"We're wearing it down!" Orizo laughed. "Keep on going guys!"
"Time for the trump card!" Chikoro laughed, and she quickly changed her staff to one with a pointed brown tip. "GIGAN ZOT!" The spell converged on the monster and the words "PROTECT BREAK" flashed across the screen.
"Let's go guys!" Iam called, and the group held out their rings.
"RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN, VIOLET, ORANGE DATA DRAIN!" The lights swerved and hit the monster straight on, making the green flakes dissolve as it writhed in pain.
"Get it!" they called, and soon, with more spells, attacks, and skills, the monster fell to the ground, unable to move. As the group congratulated itself, the monster dissolved.
"Is that it?" Gabriella asked. "Strange…"
"The player must have already left," Orizo sighed.
"We'll get 'em next time," Chikoro laughed. "C'mon guys, let's get back to the party!"
"Yeah, and I need to pick up my bag from the grass…" Zaiten said, only to stop and look at the guys, knowing he'd screw up.
"What are you guys up to?" Iam asked, raising her eyebrow in suspicion.
"W-we're camping!" Orizo covered quickly. "We didn't tell you because…uh…we were afraid you'd be offended!"
"Offended that you went camping?" Gabriella asked. "What's up with that?"
"Uhh – see you guys later!" Orizo waved, and the three quickly logged out.
"Well, shall we follow suit?" Iam asked and the girls nodded.
"Let's get out of here!" Gabriella laughed, and the three girls gated out of the area.
Little did they know…someone was watching them.
From the corner of the room, a small wavemaster in golden robes walked out nervously. "See? See? I told you! I think they're hackers! I heard them talking about all that weird stuff one day in Mac Anu!"
"Yeah," Orizo nodded. "This is bad…Moyotu and the others will definitely start taking advantage of the protection…"
"We've got to hack those gates and stop the Data Bugs to slow the infection!" Chikoro told them. "Kalen said we use those cores to hack the gates right?"
"And I can hack them," Zaiten nodded. Chikoro laid out the cores.
The wavemaster stood behind the pillar near them, looking on with interest. "What…are they doing?" he asked himself.
"Thank you, you've been very helpful," said a female voice from the corner.
"So…umm…do I get my re--"
"Here," a male voice snapped, throwing a large bag of GP at the wavemaster. He squealed at the large amount and quickly gated out, not wanting to be in the area anymore. "So…do you think they know anything?"
"It's our first hunch in a month. We'd better take it."
"I guess…that thing that they fought is the same. So…"
"So that means," the female voice said, and a smile broadened across her face, "that it's time to pay them a little visit."
"Hooth!" Hiromi sighed, pulling off his headset. "That was close…"
"I guess," Sean said, also pulling off his headset. "Can we go now?"
"Yes, I suppose we should," Souchirou nodded, putting the visors and laptop in his bag. "The girls must be going back to sleep, and we need to head back to headquarters."
"Down you go." Souchirou's eyes widened as Sean gave him a sharp push off the tree branch, making him fall to the ground, his face hitting the dirt with a large "thump"!
"SEAN!" Souchirou screamed, cleaning his glasses and coughing out grass lumps and brown earth.
"C'mon," Hiromi yawned. "I'm tired."
"Hey guys!" Hiromi waved to Mai, Ayumi, and Ryoko that Monday morning. Behind him were Souchirou and Sean, both smiling innocently. "Did you have a nice weekend?"
"Oh yeah," Mai smirked, "Real nice."
"That Data Bug sure was difficult, was it not?" Souchirou asked.
"Hard," Ayumi had the same expression on her face. "Whatever you say."
"Good thing we beat it," Sean said stoically.
"You bet," Ryoko said, cracking her knuckles. "Real good thing."
"Is…is something wrong?" Hiromi asked as the three girls grew dark.
"Oh, nothing!" Ayumi laughed. "Nothing at all! In fact, you wouldn't believe what I found in my lawn Sunday morning!"
"Wh-what's that?" Souchirou asked, glasses slipping off his ear.
"YOUR CELL PHONE PEEPING TOM!" Ayumi shoved the phone into Souchirou's face and he backed off immediately. "You were spying on us the entire time…"
"Th-that's not mine!" Souchirou defended, then rasped to Sean. "It must have fallen out when you pushed me!" He turned back to the girls."Why would I be at your slumber party? You can't prove that that cellular phone device belongs to me!"
"THEN WHY DOES IT HAVE WALLPAPER WITH MY SCHOOL PICTURE ON IT!"
"Uh oh…"
"Souchirou, you dork!"
"This is all your fault you know…"
"Please!" Souchirou scoffed. "You were the ones who gave them the belt and the hairpin!"
"So those gifts were just to spy on us?" Ryoko asked, veins pulsing. "PULL!"
"OW!"
"If it wasn't for your dumb camera laptop!"
"You were spying on us through cameras? Like stalkers?" Ayumi asked. "PULL!"
"OWW!"
"Well you were the one who wanted to see them changing!"
"CHANGING?" Mai asked, enraged. "PULL!"
Ayumi, Ryoko, and Mai gave a sharp tug on a rope, and the three boys, attached the rope by their ankles, were hoisted up the tree branch, hitting their heads with a resounding "CLUNK".
"OW!"
"I think they've had enough for the hour girls," Mai smirked.
"You're letting us down?" Hiromi asked, and all three boys perked up with excitement.
"Let you down?" Ryoko asked. "Please!"
Mai had already tied the rope to the roots of the tree and the three girls were walking away. "We'll come get you tomorrow, don't worry!"
"Tomorrow? Wait! Come back!" Souchirou cried.
And as the moon rose high into the sky, the call of the three-headed peeping Tom could be heard from mountains high and valleys low:
"COOOMMMMEEE BAAAAAACCCK!"
The End! I hope you all liked it. I laughed myself at the ending. A very silly chapter with ONE event that progressed the plot. Oo
Enjoy!
Don't forget to review!
