Chapter 12: The Plan
"What if we…" began Marth…
"…Roy!" interrupted Jenny. "I just saw the news, and I wanted to tell you that I'm in."
"Good," said Marth. "Now, how about we try…"
"…Roy," said Red X and Shadow, running up to them.
"I wanted to say thanks for your help," said Shadow.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry for not believing you," said Red X. "Now, what's the plan?"
"If people would stop interrupting me, I'D TELL YOU!" screamed Marth.
Everyone looked at Marth.
"Not all of you," he said. "Damn idiots!"
The others went back to their eating.
"Okay, there are six of us and six of them," said Marth. "We should just go out there and kick their tails from here to Texas."
"Oh…" said Roy.
"I like it," said Katie.
"Fine by me," said Red X.
"When do we start?" asked Eliwood.
The others jumped.
"What?" asked Eliwood. "There's no way you're leaving me out of this."
Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Let's go," he said. "We need rest before we take them on."
"After class, everyone is to rest until nine o'clock tonight," said Red X.
"Right, then it's go time?" said Jenny.
"Go, everyone, go," said Katie.
At three o'clock, when class ended, Roy and Katie wasted no time in dashing up to their room. As soon as the door shut, Roy and Katie fell onto Roy's bed.
"My arms hurt," said Roy.
"Now I know why kids don't like to clean the erasers," said Katie.
"Look at my perfect hair," said Roy. "The damn dust messed up my damn hair!"
"Your hair's fine," said Katie. "I just hope it'll still be fine when we wake up next week."
"Hell, I'll be glad if my hair's fine after tonight," said Roy, letting Katie roll over on top of him.
"You'll be okay," she said. "I won't let anything happen to you."
"Yeah, I know you won't," said Roy. "But, let's not worry about it till nine."
Roy patted Katie's back.
"Okay," she said.
It was nine o'clock all too soon, in Roy's opinion. When Katie shook him awake, he almost decided to call and cancel, but he couldn't do that. He and Katie collected everything they knew they'd need, and dashed off to meet the others.
"It's go time," said Red X, when they finally did meet.
