chapter twelve: winter dance (part 1)
"Yes!" shieked Faye. She shot foward and stopped just outside the door. "The school!" she said dreamily. "Are you guys coming, or not? Its too cooold out here."
"We're coming Faye, geez." replied Rika as she and the other three, Takato, Henry and Jeri caught up with Faye and she zoomed inside. "She's not big on cold weather.." grinned Rika.
"We could tell." grinned Jeri.
They went inside and saw a few people here and there, mostly seniors though, because they were on the committee and organized the whole thing.
"The dance is mainly in the gym." said the person sitting down at a table as they walked by. "The cafeteria is also open, mostly for food and drink. Lockers can be used to store coats if you want." she explained.
"You say this everytime someone walks in?" asked Faye.
The girl nodded. "Every single time." she groaned, with a 'help me' kind of grin.
They walked down their locker row and shoved the big, poofy, winter coats into their lockers and slammed them shut.
"Finally." said Rika. "I was getting annoyed by that jacket." she said.
"You're wearing the same thing as you were in school." said Takato.
"Good observation." said Faye, eying him.
"Did you actually think I would change my clothes for something like this?" asked Rika. "Its just a dance. It doesn't mean anything."
"Well thats what I figured." said Takato. "But ya never know.. I mean, you could, ahh.. nevermind. Forget it. I'm confusing myself."
A locker slam told them someone else was in the hall. They turned and saw, who else, but Danielle Spencer. In a complete 'Miss Popularity' ensemble. She was wearing a bright pink halter top with tight, black flared jeans with glitter. Her hair was combed neatly, part to the side with plastic stars clipped into it. She had on glitter and tons of makeup. To top it off, her shoes were strappy pink sandals with three inch heels.
"Gee, Spencer I didn't think you could possibly look any preppier, but I guess I'm mistaken." said Rika. "And I also thought that you couldn't apply anymore makeup to your preppy face, but I was mistaken there too."
Danielle glared. "I see you haven't changed. Literaly." she said.
"Why should I?" asked Rika. "Its just a dance."
"That will play crappy music! Don't forget that!" piped up Faye.
"Stay out of this, Kamiyo." snapped Danielle.
"Bitch..." replied Faye in a low voice.
"What was that?" asked Danielle hotly.
"Oh, am I allowed to talk now, oh queen of the land?" asked Faye sarcastically.
"Forget it." said Rika. "Just ignore her and lets go."
"Not worth my time." said Faye, sticking her toungue out at Danielle.
"How very childish, Faye." said Danielle.
"How very preppyish, Spencer." called Faye, not bothering to turn around to make her reply.
The five of them walked into the gym and it was almost like a winter wonderland. There was fake snow on the bleachers and light hanging from the walls. The DJ was over on the other side, with some of his dance lights around the speakers.
There was music already playing.. but..
"Turn it off!" shrieked Faye, dropping to her knees and covering her ears. "It burns! It BURNS!!!" she cried.
"Death to rap!!" screamed Rika, covering her ears as well.
"Here here, Nonaka-Makino!"
She looked over and saw her skater guy friends. She waved. "Hey guys!" she called, beckoning for them to come over.
"Thought ya didn't do dances?" asked Stevo.
"Dude! What does that sound like to you?" asked Phil.
Toshi whacked him over the head. "Pervert." he said. "Do not mind the stupid ones. But yeah, why did you come?"
"I was convinced by a very convincing person." replied Rika, grinning.
"Me! The one and only Faye Kamiyo." she said, popping up from what seemed nowhere behind Rika's back.
"Hi Faye." grinned Makou.
"Hi!" she said cheerfully. Then the song changed again and according to Faye, "NO!! This is even worse than before!" she cried, covering her ears.
"Do they always play this kinda music?" asked Rika.
Kenny nodded. "Alllll the time. And it sucks, big time." he said.
"Rock N Roll!!" shouted Stevo. He jumped on Phil's back and Phil began to run around, running into things.. people included.
"Nice, Stevo, Phil, nice." grinned Rika.
"Those idiots." laughed Toshi. "Please tell me, you are not gonna dance, are you?"
Rika stuck out her toungue. "Hell no!" she said.
"We only came to torture!!" squeaked Faye.
"Same here, girls, same here." replied Taguya. Then Phil, with Stevo still on his back, ran into him.
"Beep!" shouted Stevo as they took off once again.
"We should go." laughed Toshi. "With those dorks running lose, the school will end up burned to the ground before the night is done."
"See ya round." said Kenny as they ran after their two goofball friends.
"They're so cool." grinned Faye. "Stupid, yes, but cool."
Rika nodded in agreement, glancing at the three people they had come with.. seeing somewhat of a jealous look cross Henry's face. Rika made a mental note to tell Faye later.
"Hey ya'll!" shouted the DJ. Everyone replied by screaming. Rika and Faye shook their heads in disgust. It was all the preps that screamed.. all the preppy girls that had screamed..
"He's not even cute." said Faye.
"Oh, talk about boy crazy." grinned Rika.
"Shut up." came the reply.
"So what do you wanna do first?" asked Takato.
"Should we do as the skaters do, and run around playing chicken?" asked Henry.
"Do not diss the skater." said Faye. "But sure, sounds like fun!" she said, jumping onto his back and cheering.
Henry was obviously shocked as to what had just happened and nearly fell over. But being the smooth guy he is, caught his balance and prevented Faye from falling.
"Now run!" ordered Faye. "Run like you're getting chased by, uh.. something evil! Like me!" she grinned.
"Chased by something evil?" asked Henry.
Faye stuck out her toungue. "I dunno. Just run!" she said and he took off. Faye screaming along the way, causing them to get weird stares from the preps.
Rika, Takato and Jeri howled with laughter as Toshi and Kenny came back. "I think we've started something here!" said Toshi.
"Hop on, Jeri." said Kenny.
"I dunno.." she said.
"Go!" urged Rika. "And scream like there's no tomarrow!" she laughed.
Taguya now came over, along with Makou and they lifted Jeri onto Kenny's back and he took off. Jeri really did scream from shock.
Makou jumped on Taguya's back and they were off too.
Rika and Takato stood there with Toshi, laughing hysterically. They looked at each other. "Uhh.." they said.
"Hop on, Rika." said Toshi.
"I dunno." she said, glancing at Takato.
"Go ahead." he replied, nodding.
"But-" started Rika.
"Go!"
Takato nearly fell over as Kazu leaped onto his back. "Kazu?!" he said, in shock.
"You guys were having way too much without me." he said. "Now, giddyup Takato!"
Takato shook his head and ran off, following the skaters.
"So Rika?" asked Toshi.
"Aw, what the hell." she grinned and jumped on Toshi's back. He took off.
All of them were running wildly around the gymnasium, getting strange looks from all the people/students/staff/DJ in there.
"Looks like we got outselves a game starting up!" said the DJ.
Rika and Toshi ran by Danielle and crew and they looked scandalized. "Having fun, Spencer baby?!" called Toshi.
Not realizing where he was going, he crashed into someone. Rika fell off and landed on her butt. She looked up and it was Faye and Henry.
"Watch where you're going!" shouted Faye, grinning.
"You watch it, Faye-Faye." she shouted back.
Faye grinned and she and Henry were off once again.
"Come on, Rika." said Toshi, helping her to her feet. "Get back on!"
Rika jumped onto his back and started yelling again. "ROCK N ROLL!!" she shouted, as Toshi ran off once again.
This went on for a while, and more and more people showed up. Everytime a new person would show up, they would give a glance to the crazy people running around on other people's backs. Then that person's friend would shrug and it would start again.
Finally, the DJ got the messege, and put on a rock song. They all met in the front, except for Henry and Faye, who were seen in the back, trying to push their way through the crowd. But the crowd wasn't giving in easily.
"Well, we got these chicken players shoutin at me for the past fourty five minutes, yelling rock and roll, so here it is!" shouted the DJ.
"Chicken players rule!!!!!" shouted Stevo. Phil cluckled like a chicken as loud as he could and flapped his arms.
Blink-182 began to blast throughout the gym.
"Mosh Pit!!" shouted Phil.
"I think not!" shouted a teacher, who was walking by. "Chicken is enough! No mosh pits at this high school dance!" she said.
The merry little group groaned.
"Mom and dad they quite don't understand it. All the kids they laugh as if they planned it. Why do girls wanna pierce their nose? And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah!" the song blasted. Henry and Faye finally reached the front, but burst through the crowd and crashed into four of the chicken players, Rika and Toshi included.
"I like the ones who say they listen to that punk rock. I like the kids who fight against how they were brought up. They hate the trends they think its f***ed to care. Its cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah!"
Rika fell on top of someone else besides Toshi, because he was next to her. Toshi was howling with laughter, as was Faye and Henry.
"Not funny!" shoued Kazu. "Well.. I guess it was pretty funny."
"So give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in."
Rika laughed along and glanced at who she had fallen on. "Takato!" she shrieked. Her face went bright red, as she was sitting on his stomach, practically in his lap. She jumped off, but helped him to his feet. It was pretty dark.. but Rika could have sworn she saw some red on Takato's face as well...
"This ain't over yet!" shrieked Kazu, jumping on Toshi's back and they took off somewhere, followed by Phil and Stevo, probably to terrorize.. because thats just what those four do best... especially Phil and Stevo.
"Hate the jocks, the preps the hippie-f***in' scumbags. Heavy metalers with their awful, pussy hairbands. Counting seconds until we can get away. Ditchin' school almost every single day, oh yeah!"
"Come on Rika!" shouted Faye, an evil glint in her eye. "Don't stop the 'chicken game' just yet!" she shrieked.
Rika glared at her friend.
"Come on, Rika!" shouted Henry. "Takato!"
"So give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in."
Rika sighed, and knowing the torment she would get from her best friend later, jumped on Takato's back and shouted a cheer.
"Yeah!" shouted Faye. Then she and Henry ran off somewhere.
Kenny and Jeri ran by, Kenny squawking like a chicken and Jeri still screaming, although it was a fun scream, not a shocked scream. (A/n: how do u spell squawking anyway?)
Takato heaved Rika up a bit, and then he too took off running. He mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that, goggle head?" she asked.
"Oh nothing.."
But she swore he said, 'I'll kill Henry later'... or something like that...
"Give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in." then the song ended
"Ya know, you're not as heavy as you look." said Takato.
Rika grinned. "Yeah, well.." she said, unable to think of a good comeback. (a/n: all right everyone, gasp!)
Stevo and Phil ran by, with Stevo now making the indian sound, patting his hand against his mouth, making strange noises. Rika shook her head and laughed. Then she followed suit, and also began the indian sound.
After a while, they got tired and one by one, fell off each other's backs and collapsed on the bleachers. Phil laying across Stevo, Toshi and Makou.
"That was fun." said Faye. Kenny nodded.
"But now what do we do?" asked Stevo. "I cannot live without terrorizing!" he cried, scratching his head wildy and messing up his hair.
"I'm sure we can figure something out." said Toshi, shrugging.
"Look at them people dance." said Taguya, pointing at Danielle and crew. "They dance like friggan strippers or something."
Rika laughed. "Yup. Or hookers."
"Dude!" shouted Stevo, pushing Phil off him. He fell and hit the floor of the bleachers with an 'oof' and 'stevo you idiot'. "I need SOMETHING to do! I'm gonna go crazy!!"
"Chill out, Stevo." said Toshi. "Why don't you just go run around and crash into walls. Again." he suggested.
"I already DID that." whined Stevo. "Riding on Phil's back."
"So why don't you run around on you own back and crash into walls?" asked Makou.
"Can I do that?" asked Stevo.
"What?" asked Kenny.
"Run around on my own back." said Stevo. He looked at the ceiling.
"Why don't we start a destructive conga line?" asked Faye.
"Nice!" said Phil. "I start!" he said, pounding towards the ground.
"No way, dude! ME!" shouted Stevo, running after him.
"Thanks Faye.." laughed Toshi.
She grinned and ran after them, followed by Kenny and Kazu.
"Well, lets go!" said Taguya, dashing down, Henry at his heels. Takato followed after Henry and Rika stood up to follow.
Toshi leaped up and shouted, "WHOO!" and leaped off the bleachers. He landed and crashed into Taguya.
Rika reached the floor and put her hands on Faye's shoulders. Faye pushed around, and latched on to Henry's waist. Faye turned around and winked as Rika howled with laughter.
"Whats so funny?" asked Henry as he turned to face them and see who had grabbed his hips. His eyes widened when he saw Faye.
Rika burst out loud laughing and got sTrAnGe looks from everyone.
"Are you ok, Rika?" asked Toshi.
"Fine and dandy." she grinned. She felt hands grab her shoulders and turned to see- "Takato." she said, shaking her head.
"What?" he asked, a slight grin on his face.
"Conga Line!!!!" shouted Stevo as Henry put his hands on his shoulders. Kazu latched onto Takato's, and was followed by Kenny, Makou, Toshi, Taguya then Phil. Jeri stood on the sidelines watching, afraid as what she should do.
"Come on, Jeri!" shouted Faye.
She grinned sheepishly and shook her hands. "Chicken was enough for now."
"Lets go, Jeri!" shouted Kenny, grabbing her wrists and shoving her in front of him, forcing her to crash into Kazu.
"Sorry!" she said.
"Don't be apologizin' Jeri." said Kazu. "Its what we're gonna be doin'! Crashin into stuff!" he said. "Join the conga line!"
Jeri grinned and put her hands on Kazu's shoulders and Kenny sealed the line by doing the same to Jeri.
"CONGA!!!!" shouted Stevo as he took off, spun his hands in front of him, occasionally flinging a hand in the air. (a/n: you know that funny conga line dance, where the person in the front does that funky thing with his hands... dont you? @_@)
"WHOO!" shouted Faye.
Stevo led the merry little group around the gymnasium, making them go through crowds of friends dancing and crashing them into walls. Every once in a while they'd kick out a foot too, kicking whatever was there.
"Hey Stevo!" shouted Rika. "Go past Spencer and stooges again!"
"You got it!" came his shouted reply, as he made a sharp turn and headed back towards Danielle and the rest of her preppy little friends.
As they broke through them, they all kicked and Rika kicked Danielle right in the shins, leaving a dirty foot print and pain.
"YOU!" shouted Danielle, frantically trying to wipe the dirt off her pants, also rubbing it to rid herself of the pain.
"Have fun now!" shoured Toshi as the conga line went out of the gym and into the hallway.
The little group of insane kids made their way down the hall, getting weird looks from people and doing the occasional kick.
They reached the snack bar and Stevo halted them. They crashed into each other as they had been walking pretty fast.
"We shall have sodas!" said Stevo. "With caffiene, of course!"
"How many..?" asked the senior working it.
"Umm.." said Stevo. He turned and looked. He counted their heads. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve." he grinned. (a/n: thats a looong conga line)
The senior's eyes widened. "Su-sure.." she said. She and her friend started getting the sodas and as they handed them to Stevo, he'd turn and pass it down the line.
Finally, all of them had a soda and they all waited to see what Stevo would say next. He examined his and spun it around. His eyes widened with excitement.
"Thats a look of danger." said Taguya.
Stevo glared. "Cannit." he said. He held up his cup. "CHUG IT!" he shouted.
They stared at him.
"Goddammit, I'm not joking here!" he said and started to chug his own cup.
"Well," said Toshi. "There's only one thing to do." he said. He held up his cup. "Cheers!" he grinned and began to chug his too.
"Here here!" shouted Faye as she too began to chug.
After that, the entire conga line was now chugging their sodas and as they finished, Stevo made another anouncement.
"Now burp!" he shouted, and then... burped.
It went down the conga line as one after another belched in their own way. Finishing it off was Phil with a very loud, very long one.
"Now," said Stevo, everyone dreading what would be next. "We conga!" he said. He whirled around and made them start to conga all over again.
"Ole its hot hot hot!" shouted Phil from the back.
"Oh yeah!" shouted Stevo from the front. "Now THATS a conga line song! Everyone, SING IT!" he shouted.
The conga liners began to sing. And not just sing. Soon, very soon, they found themselves shouting the words, trying to heard above the music playing in the gym as they went back inside of it.
Danielle shot Rika a look of plain disgust and Rika returned the favor by grinning and giving her the finger. Danielle's mouth dropped and she froze.
Faye laughed and also shot up the finger at Danielle.
She glared and just turned around, to continue in her freaky dance mode.
"Sweet Rika!" shouted Toshi from somewhere behind her.
Rika responded by putting her thumb up in the air. Then Stevo turned sharply once again, making everyone ram into the person in front of them. Again.
"Stevo, you jackass!" shouted Phil from the back.
Stevo responded by laughing hysterically.. and psychotically.
After a while, the conga line started to slow down, but not because they were tired. It just got kinda boring doing the same thing over and over.
Then, what else should happen, but the DJ began to talk once again.
"Hey ya'll!" he shouted. "I decided I'm gonna start playin some other kinda tunes! Dance music! And not the rave kind!"
He fiddled around with something and then the song that just doesn't seem to go away came on.
"Heyyyyy Macarena!!!!!!" shouted Stevo, jumping over to the middle of the gym. Phil was right behind him and everyone grinned.
"I think we've found something else to occupy us." grinned Makou.
They dashed over and all stood in a straight line, awaiting it to begin.
"Remember people," said Phil. "No takee dance seriously. Dance funly and stupidly. That be the point!" he grinned. (a/n: takee is not a spelling mistake.. i did that on purpose)
It began and everyone started the Macarena. But not the kind of way Danielle and stooges were. Not sluttely. (a/n: is that word? well.. if not, it is now) Crazily and insanely. Whacking each other in the face and such.
Pretty soon, to everyday people, the crazy ones doing the macarena in the way front may seem as if they were high or even possibly stoned. But no, they simply had caffiene.
Stevo and Phil were attempting to sing along.. but they knew very few words, so it pretty much sounded like some form of gibberish. Foreign gibberish.
All too soon, the song ended and Stevo and Phil began to chant.
"More! More! More! More! More! More! More! More!" they chanted.
The DJ grinned. "We got more!" he said. Next he played another undying song.
"The Chicken Dance!!!!!" shouted Faye.
"Yes!" shouted Stevo. "For all us Chicken Players!!"
"Whooo!!" shouted Rika.
They started to dance the chicken dance, also in a wild and insande kind of way. When it came time to walk around in a circle, they all randomly grasped hands with someone and spun around like crazy.
Unluckily for people nearby, Phil and Stevo spun so hard they went flying, which sent everyone else in the merry little group into hysterics.
As the Chicken Dance got faster, they became more wild and even teachers were now starting to give them strange looks.
Once again, all too soon for them. They all took a deep breath and Phil and Stevo began to chant 'More' over and over again.
A teacher ran over and whispered something to the DJ, who nodded. Then he fiddled around and the electric slide came on.
"ITS ELECTRIC!!" they all shouted and began to dance, running into each other as they twirled, clapped, spun and did whatever else was in the Electric Slide. They crashed into each other often, as well as random people. Pretty soon, there was a large gap around them.
The song ended again and the DJ picked up the mike. "I gotta request from someone to take things down a notch. We got ourselves a slooow song!" he shouted.
They groaned as their fun dancing was over.
"It doesn't have to end just yet." grinned Phil. A slightly evil looking grin at that.
"You thinkin what I'm thinkin, dude?" asked Stevo.
"Oh yeah." grinned Phil.
The two went up to each other and began to slow dance... sort of. They were wild and spinning faster than all others.
"Idea!" laughed Faye. She grabbed Henry's arm and dragged him towards Phil and Stevo, and they too were soon going nuts.
"Yeah!!!" shouted Makou, taking Kenny by the sleave and they too began the mystic ways of Crazy/Fast/Slow dance.
"Yeah!!" shouted Taguya. He grinned at Jeri who stepped back. He linked arms with her and dragged her over and began to dance.
"This is gonna be great!" laughed Toshi. He glanced at Rika (a/n: ha! i'm going to interupt just because i can and i want to keep you in suspense. but wait.. this is rukato, right? why's toshi gonna dance with rika? wait! who says he is? i'll shut up now. also because i can) but Kazu had grabbed his arm and was dragging him over.
Rika glanced at Takato and he glanced back. She shrugged and they dashed over to joing their friends.. in their crazy ways.
Now, in slow dance, normally, it goes slow. They guy's hands are around the girl's waist and the girl's hands are around the guy's neck. They move around in a circular motion. Now, are these people doing this? Of course not, are you crazy?!
Stevo and Phil were twirling around psychotically, ramming into the people that were actually slow dancing.
Toshi and Kazu were doing something similar, but they had began to purposely step on people's feet. Hearing screams of pain was fun.
Taguya was holding Jeri's hands and spinning her around. As she didn't exactly want to be doing this.
Makou and Kenny were just spinning. Forcing themselves to become extremely dizzy and ram into random people.
Faye and Henry were actually enjoying themselves. They were slow dancing. Not the kind that everyone else was, of course. They rammed into people and stuff, but they were waltzing somewhat, as Faye had her hand on Henry's shoulder and Henry had his hand around her waist and they were grasping hands.
Rika watched all this and laughed.
"Whats so funny?" asked Takato.
The two had their hands clasped and they were spinning around in the waltzy fashion Faye and Henry had going.
"Faye." she laughed.
Takato looked over and he laughed.
"Laughing at her?" asked Rika.
"Yeah." said Takato. "But Henry too.
"Why is that?" asked Rika, crashing into someone she didn't know. She coulda sworn she heard something like 'watch it'.
"Oh.. no reason.." he replied.
"Ok, I gotta question." said Rika, looking him in the eye.
"Yeah..?" he asked, slightly confused.
"Does Henry have a thing for Faye or something?" she asked.
Takato's eyes went a little wide. "Why do you ask me?"
"For one thing, he's your best friend. So logically, you would know." said Rika. "Not to mention, it kinda seems that way."
"Umm.."
"Answer me goggle-head."
"Swear not to tell?"
"Yeah yeah." said Rika. "My lips are sealed." she said, crashing into another couple.
"Fine." said Takato. "Yes."
Rika's eyes widened this time. "Say what?" she asked.
"Well, you wanted to know." shrugged Takato.
"No, I mean, what? As in seriously?"
Takato nodded. "Yeah." he said. "I fell bad about telling you this, but I got a question for you too."
"Oh great." she said sarcastically.
Takato narrowed his eyes. "He said that when he first met her, she seemed really nice and then each time he saw her, he grew to like her more." he explained. "He told me about it, and said he really liked her. Thats why he's always kinda like that around her."
Rika grinned. She would have to tell Faye later.. Oh wait.. She couldn't. She swore to Takato that she would tell.
"You won't tell, would you?" asked Takato, hitting someone.
"I won't." replied Rika.
"Now you have to answer my question." said Takato.
"Ok. Depending on if I can or not." she replied.
"Does Faye like Henry?" he asked.
Woah.. she was not prepared for that question! "Uhh.." she said.
"Answer." he grinned.
"Fine." said Rika. "But you can't tell either."
"I won't, I won't." said Takato, crashing into someone else. Or it could have been the same person. He didn't know.
"Yes." she sighed.
"What?"
"Yes! Yes she does!" said Rika. "Thats all she talks about half the time! Sometimes it gets to the point where I wanna go, shut up! And then cry. And moan." she said.
Takato grinned. "This is weird."
"What is?" asked Rika, ramming into a person. Making sure it was Danielle. She glared and Rika stepped on her foot.
"Our best friends have the hots for each other." said Takato.
"That is kinda strange." grinned Rika.
"You know what we should do?"
"Oh great." said Rika. "The look of evil."
Takato laughed. "No. I just figured we could play matchmaker or somethine. You know, try to get them together." he grinned.
"I've always thought about it." replied Rika. "Trying to get them together, I mean."
"It would be so funny!" said Takato.
"Yeah, it probably would." said Rika. "Faye's a little strange-"
"So is Henry." interupted Takato.
"And Henry is too." grinned Rika. "So watching them as we played matchmaker could be very entertaining." she said.
Takato nodded. "Forget about TV, we got new entertainment." he grinned.
"We'll need to plan this out, obviously." said Rika. "And if anyone asks, we can tell them its our plans for.. uhh... world domination." she grinned.
Takato laughed again. "World domination. How original."
"Can you think of something better?" asked Rika, running into another person.
"Nope!" grinned Takato. "Guess we're using world domination. It just might scare people though." he said.
"What fun!" grinned Rika.
Then someone, ('Not them Stevo!') crashed into them, causing Rika to fly into Takato, her hands landing on his chest, because thats what normal people do when they're shoved. Throw their hands out in front of them to stop them from hitting something.. or something like that. Anyway, Takato now had his hands on Rika's shoulders.
As Phil and Stevo whirled away, Takato and Rika stared at each other, realizing exactly how they were positioned.
Rika tried to break the gaze, but she couldn't. And she was completely aware of what this looked like. She was pretty sure Takato was going through the same thing.
"Come on, you two!" shouted Kazu as he and Toshi twirled by.
That worked. They both looked away. Rika backed up and Takato let go of her shoulders. They were close in height too. (a/n: dont ask what height as to do with this, but i figured i might as well throw it in sometime. ^^)
The song ended and they Crazy/Fast/Slow dancers stopped and meeted each other near Takato and Rika to plan their next moment of terror.
"You do realize it was the teacher that requested that song." said Faye. "She wanted to calm us down."
"I guess she failed in her mission." grinned Henry. Faye grinned back.
Which sent off a chain reaction. Rika and Takato started to crack up, getting weird looks from everyone.
"Are you guys ok?" asked Toshi, raising an eyebrow.
"We're fine." said Rika.
"Yup." nodded Takato. "Just thinking about our plan."
"What would that be?" asked Faye suspiciously.
"Our plan for world domination." grinned Rika.
"The world is mine!" shouted Stevo. He began to laugh insanely again.
"No, dude. Its mine!" shouted Phil.
Rika laughed. This was turning out to be fun after all.

chapter twelve: winter dance (part 1)
"Yes!" shieked Faye. She shot foward and stopped just outside the door. "The school!" she said dreamily. "Are you guys coming, or not? Its too cooold out here."
"We're coming Faye, geez." replied Rika as she and the other three, Takato, Henry and Jeri caught up with Faye and she zoomed inside. "She's not big on cold weather.." grinned Rika.
"We could tell." grinned Jeri.
They went inside and saw a few people here and there, mostly seniors though, because they were on the committee and organized the whole thing.
"The dance is mainly in the gym." said the person sitting down at a table as they walked by. "The cafeteria is also open, mostly for food and drink. Lockers can be used to store coats if you want." she explained.
"You say this everytime someone walks in?" asked Faye.
The girl nodded. "Every single time." she groaned, with a 'help me' kind of grin.
They walked down their locker row and shoved the big, poofy, winter coats into their lockers and slammed them shut.
"Finally." said Rika. "I was getting annoyed by that jacket." she said.
"You're wearing the same thing as you were in school." said Takato.
"Good observation." said Faye, eying him.
"Did you actually think I would change my clothes for something like this?" asked Rika. "Its just a dance. It doesn't mean anything."
"Well thats what I figured." said Takato. "But ya never know.. I mean, you could, ahh.. nevermind. Forget it. I'm confusing myself."
A locker slam told them someone else was in the hall. They turned and saw, who else, but Danielle Spencer. In a complete 'Miss Popularity' ensemble. She was wearing a bright pink halter top with tight, black flared jeans with glitter. Her hair was combed neatly, part to the side with plastic stars clipped into it. She had on glitter and tons of makeup. To top it off, her shoes were strappy pink sandals with three inch heels.
"Gee, Spencer I didn't think you could possibly look any preppier, but I guess I'm mistaken." said Rika. "And I also thought that you couldn't apply anymore makeup to your preppy face, but I was mistaken there too."
Danielle glared. "I see you haven't changed. Literaly." she said.
"Why should I?" asked Rika. "Its just a dance."
"That will play crappy music! Don't forget that!" piped up Faye.
"Stay out of this, Kamiyo." snapped Danielle.
"Bitch..." replied Faye in a low voice.
"What was that?" asked Danielle hotly.
"Oh, am I allowed to talk now, oh queen of the land?" asked Faye sarcastically.
"Forget it." said Rika. "Just ignore her and lets go."
"Not worth my time." said Faye, sticking her toungue out at Danielle.
"How very childish, Faye." said Danielle.
"How very preppyish, Spencer." called Faye, not bothering to turn around to make her reply.
The five of them walked into the gym and it was almost like a winter wonderland. There was fake snow on the bleachers and light hanging from the walls. The DJ was over on the other side, with some of his dance lights around the speakers.
There was music already playing.. but..
"Turn it off!" shrieked Faye, dropping to her knees and covering her ears. "It burns! It BURNS!!!" she cried.
"Death to rap!!" screamed Rika, covering her ears as well.
"Here here, Nonaka-Makino!"
She looked over and saw her skater guy friends. She waved. "Hey guys!" she called, beckoning for them to come over.
"Thought ya didn't do dances?" asked Stevo.
"Dude! What does that sound like to you?" asked Phil.
Toshi whacked him over the head. "Pervert." he said. "Do not mind the stupid ones. But yeah, why did you come?"
"I was convinced by a very convincing person." replied Rika, grinning.
"Me! The one and only Faye Kamiyo." she said, popping up from what seemed nowhere behind Rika's back.
"Hi Faye." grinned Makou.
"Hi!" she said cheerfully. Then the song changed again and according to Faye, "NO!! This is even worse than before!" she cried, covering her ears.
"Do they always play this kinda music?" asked Rika.
Kenny nodded. "Alllll the time. And it sucks, big time." he said.
"Rock N Roll!!" shouted Stevo. He jumped on Phil's back and Phil began to run around, running into things.. people included.
"Nice, Stevo, Phil, nice." grinned Rika.
"Those idiots." laughed Toshi. "Please tell me, you are not gonna dance, are you?"
Rika stuck out her toungue. "Hell no!" she said.
"We only came to torture!!" squeaked Faye.
"Same here, girls, same here." replied Taguya. Then Phil, with Stevo still on his back, ran into him.
"Beep!" shouted Stevo as they took off once again.
"We should go." laughed Toshi. "With those dorks running lose, the school will end up burned to the ground before the night is done."
"See ya round." said Kenny as they ran after their two goofball friends.
"They're so cool." grinned Faye. "Stupid, yes, but cool."
Rika nodded in agreement, glancing at the three people they had come with.. seeing somewhat of a jealous look cross Henry's face. Rika made a mental note to tell Faye later.
"Hey ya'll!" shouted the DJ. Everyone replied by screaming. Rika and Faye shook their heads in disgust. It was all the preps that screamed.. all the preppy girls that had screamed..
"He's not even cute." said Faye.
"Oh, talk about boy crazy." grinned Rika.
"Shut up." came the reply.
"So what do you wanna do first?" asked Takato.
"Should we do as the skaters do, and run around playing chicken?" asked Henry.
"Do not diss the skater." said Faye. "But sure, sounds like fun!" she said, jumping onto his back and cheering.
Henry was obviously shocked as to what had just happened and nearly fell over. But being the smooth guy he is, caught his balance and prevented Faye from falling.
"Now run!" ordered Faye. "Run like you're getting chased by, uh.. something evil! Like me!" she grinned.
"Chased by something evil?" asked Henry.
Faye stuck out her toungue. "I dunno. Just run!" she said and he took off. Faye screaming along the way, causing them to get weird stares from the preps.
Rika, Takato and Jeri howled with laughter as Toshi and Kenny came back. "I think we've started something here!" said Toshi.
"Hop on, Jeri." said Kenny.
"I dunno.." she said.
"Go!" urged Rika. "And scream like there's no tomarrow!" she laughed.
Taguya now came over, along with Makou and they lifted Jeri onto Kenny's back and he took off. Jeri really did scream from shock.
Makou jumped on Taguya's back and they were off too.
Rika and Takato stood there with Toshi, laughing hysterically. They looked at each other. "Uhh.." they said.
"Hop on, Rika." said Toshi.
"I dunno." she said, glancing at Takato.
"Go ahead." he replied, nodding.
"But-" started Rika.
"Go!"
Takato nearly fell over as Kazu leaped onto his back. "Kazu?!" he said, in shock.
"You guys were having way too much without me." he said. "Now, giddyup Takato!"
Takato shook his head and ran off, following the skaters.
"So Rika?" asked Toshi.
"Aw, what the hell." she grinned and jumped on Toshi's back. He took off.
All of them were running wildly around the gymnasium, getting strange looks from all the people/students/staff/DJ in there.
"Looks like we got outselves a game starting up!" said the DJ.
Rika and Toshi ran by Danielle and crew and they looked scandalized. "Having fun, Spencer baby?!" called Toshi.
Not realizing where he was going, he crashed into someone. Rika fell off and landed on her butt. She looked up and it was Faye and Henry.
"Watch where you're going!" shouted Faye, grinning.
"You watch it, Faye-Faye." she shouted back.
Faye grinned and she and Henry were off once again.
"Come on, Rika." said Toshi, helping her to her feet. "Get back on!"
Rika jumped onto his back and started yelling again. "ROCK N ROLL!!" she shouted, as Toshi ran off once again.
This went on for a while, and more and more people showed up. Everytime a new person would show up, they would give a glance to the crazy people running around on other people's backs. Then that person's friend would shrug and it would start again.
Finally, the DJ got the messege, and put on a rock song. They all met in the front, except for Henry and Faye, who were seen in the back, trying to push their way through the crowd. But the crowd wasn't giving in easily.
"Well, we got these chicken players shoutin at me for the past fourty five minutes, yelling rock and roll, so here it is!" shouted the DJ.
"Chicken players rule!!!!!" shouted Stevo. Phil cluckled like a chicken as loud as he could and flapped his arms.
Blink-182 began to blast throughout the gym.
"Mosh Pit!!" shouted Phil.
"I think not!" shouted a teacher, who was walking by. "Chicken is enough! No mosh pits at this high school dance!" she said.
The merry little group groaned.
"Mom and dad they quite don't understand it. All the kids they laugh as if they planned it. Why do girls wanna pierce their nose? And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah!" the song blasted. Henry and Faye finally reached the front, but burst through the crowd and crashed into four of the chicken players, Rika and Toshi included.
"I like the ones who say they listen to that punk rock. I like the kids who fight against how they were brought up. They hate the trends they think its f***ed to care. Its cool when they piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah!"
Rika fell on top of someone else besides Toshi, because he was next to her. Toshi was howling with laughter, as was Faye and Henry.
"Not funny!" shoued Kazu. "Well.. I guess it was pretty funny."
"So give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in."
Rika laughed along and glanced at who she had fallen on. "Takato!" she shrieked. Her face went bright red, as she was sitting on his stomach, practically in his lap. She jumped off, but helped him to his feet. It was pretty dark.. but Rika could have sworn she saw some red on Takato's face as well...
"This ain't over yet!" shrieked Kazu, jumping on Toshi's back and they took off somewhere, followed by Phil and Stevo, probably to terrorize.. because thats just what those four do best... especially Phil and Stevo.
"Hate the jocks, the preps the hippie-f***in' scumbags. Heavy metalers with their awful, pussy hairbands. Counting seconds until we can get away. Ditchin' school almost every single day, oh yeah!"
"Come on Rika!" shouted Faye, an evil glint in her eye. "Don't stop the 'chicken game' just yet!" she shrieked.
Rika glared at her friend.
"Come on, Rika!" shouted Henry. "Takato!"
"So give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in."
Rika sighed, and knowing the torment she would get from her best friend later, jumped on Takato's back and shouted a cheer.
"Yeah!" shouted Faye. Then she and Henry ran off somewhere.
Kenny and Jeri ran by, Kenny squawking like a chicken and Jeri still screaming, although it was a fun scream, not a shocked scream. (A/n: how do u spell squawking anyway?)
Takato heaved Rika up a bit, and then he too took off running. He mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that, goggle head?" she asked.
"Oh nothing.."
But she swore he said, 'I'll kill Henry later'... or something like that...
"Give me one good reason. Why we need to be like them. Kids will have fun and offend. They don't want to and don't fit in." then the song ended
"Ya know, you're not as heavy as you look." said Takato.
Rika grinned. "Yeah, well.." she said, unable to think of a good comeback. (a/n: all right everyone, gasp!)
Stevo and Phil ran by, with Stevo now making the indian sound, patting his hand against his mouth, making strange noises. Rika shook her head and laughed. Then she followed suit, and also began the indian sound.
After a while, they got tired and one by one, fell off each other's backs and collapsed on the bleachers. Phil laying across Stevo, Toshi and Makou.
"That was fun." said Faye. Kenny nodded.
"But now what do we do?" asked Stevo. "I cannot live without terrorizing!" he cried, scratching his head wildy and messing up his hair.
"I'm sure we can figure something out." said Toshi, shrugging.
"Look at them people dance." said Taguya, pointing at Danielle and crew. "They dance like friggan strippers or something."
Rika laughed. "Yup. Or hookers."
"Dude!" shouted Stevo, pushing Phil off him. He fell and hit the floor of the bleachers with an 'oof' and 'stevo you idiot'. "I need SOMETHING to do! I'm gonna go crazy!!"
"Chill out, Stevo." said Toshi. "Why don't you just go run around and crash into walls. Again." he suggested.
"I already DID that." whined Stevo. "Riding on Phil's back."
"So why don't you run around on you own back and crash into walls?" asked Makou.
"Can I do that?" asked Stevo.
"What?" asked Kenny.
"Run around on my own back." said Stevo. He looked at the ceiling.
"Why don't we start a destructive conga line?" asked Faye.
"Nice!" said Phil. "I start!" he said, pounding towards the ground.
"No way, dude! ME!" shouted Stevo, running after him.
"Thanks Faye.." laughed Toshi.
She grinned and ran after them, followed by Kenny and Kazu.
"Well, lets go!" said Taguya, dashing down, Henry at his heels. Takato followed after Henry and Rika stood up to follow.
Toshi leaped up and shouted, "WHOO!" and leaped off the bleachers. He landed and crashed into Taguya.
Rika reached the floor and put her hands on Faye's shoulders. Faye pushed around, and latched on to Henry's waist. Faye turned around and winked as Rika howled with laughter.
"Whats so funny?" asked Henry as he turned to face them and see who had grabbed his hips. His eyes widened when he saw Faye.
Rika burst out loud laughing and got sTrAnGe looks from everyone.
"Are you ok, Rika?" asked Toshi.
"Fine and dandy." she grinned. She felt hands grab her shoulders and turned to see- "Takato." she said, shaking her head.
"What?" he asked, a slight grin on his face.
"Conga Line!!!!" shouted Stevo as Henry put his hands on his shoulders. Kazu latched onto Takato's, and was followed by Kenny, Makou, Toshi, Taguya then Phil. Jeri stood on the sidelines watching, afraid as what she should do.
"Come on, Jeri!" shouted Faye.
She grinned sheepishly and shook her hands. "Chicken was enough for now."
"Lets go, Jeri!" shouted Kenny, grabbing her wrists and shoving her in front of him, forcing her to crash into Kazu.
"Sorry!" she said.
"Don't be apologizin' Jeri." said Kazu. "Its what we're gonna be doin'! Crashin into stuff!" he said. "Join the conga line!"
Jeri grinned and put her hands on Kazu's shoulders and Kenny sealed the line by doing the same to Jeri.
"CONGA!!!!" shouted Stevo as he took off, spun his hands in front of him, occasionally flinging a hand in the air. (a/n: you know that funny conga line dance, where the person in the front does that funky thing with his hands... dont you? @_@)
"WHOO!" shouted Faye.
Stevo led the merry little group around the gymnasium, making them go through crowds of friends dancing and crashing them into walls. Every once in a while they'd kick out a foot too, kicking whatever was there.
"Hey Stevo!" shouted Rika. "Go past Spencer and stooges again!"
"You got it!" came his shouted reply, as he made a sharp turn and headed back towards Danielle and the rest of her preppy little friends.
As they broke through them, they all kicked and Rika kicked Danielle right in the shins, leaving a dirty foot print and pain.
"YOU!" shouted Danielle, frantically trying to wipe the dirt off her pants, also rubbing it to rid herself of the pain.
"Have fun now!" shoured Toshi as the conga line went out of the gym and into the hallway.
The little group of insane kids made their way down the hall, getting weird looks from people and doing the occasional kick.
They reached the snack bar and Stevo halted them. They crashed into each other as they had been walking pretty fast.
"We shall have sodas!" said Stevo. "With caffiene, of course!"
"How many..?" asked the senior working it.
"Umm.." said Stevo. He turned and looked. He counted their heads. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve." he grinned. (a/n: thats a looong conga line)
The senior's eyes widened. "Su-sure.." she said. She and her friend started getting the sodas and as they handed them to Stevo, he'd turn and pass it down the line.
Finally, all of them had a soda and they all waited to see what Stevo would say next. He examined his and spun it around. His eyes widened with excitement.
"Thats a look of danger." said Taguya.
Stevo glared. "Cannit." he said. He held up his cup. "CHUG IT!" he shouted.
They stared at him.
"Goddammit, I'm not joking here!" he said and started to chug his own cup.
"Well," said Toshi. "There's only one thing to do." he said. He held up his cup. "Cheers!" he grinned and began to chug his too.
"Here here!" shouted Faye as she too began to chug.
After that, the entire conga line was now chugging their sodas and as they finished, Stevo made another anouncement.
"Now burp!" he shouted, and then... burped.
It went down the conga line as one after another belched in their own way. Finishing it off was Phil with a very loud, very long one.
"Now," said Stevo, everyone dreading what would be next. "We conga!" he said. He whirled around and made them start to conga all over again.
"Ole its hot hot hot!" shouted Phil from the back.
"Oh yeah!" shouted Stevo from the front. "Now THATS a conga line song! Everyone, SING IT!" he shouted.
The conga liners began to sing. And not just sing. Soon, very soon, they found themselves shouting the words, trying to heard above the music playing in the gym as they went back inside of it.
Danielle shot Rika a look of plain disgust and Rika returned the favor by grinning and giving her the finger. Danielle's mouth dropped and she froze.
Faye laughed and also shot up the finger at Danielle.
She glared and just turned around, to continue in her freaky dance mode.
"Sweet Rika!" shouted Toshi from somewhere behind her.
Rika responded by putting her thumb up in the air. Then Stevo turned sharply once again, making everyone ram into the person in front of them. Again.
"Stevo, you jackass!" shouted Phil from the back.
Stevo responded by laughing hysterically.. and psychotically.
After a while, the conga line started to slow down, but not because they were tired. It just got kinda boring doing the same thing over and over.
Then, what else should happen, but the DJ began to talk once again.
"Hey ya'll!" he shouted. "I decided I'm gonna start playin some other kinda tunes! Dance music! And not the rave kind!"
He fiddled around with something and then the song that just doesn't seem to go away came on.
"Heyyyyy Macarena!!!!!!" shouted Stevo, jumping over to the middle of the gym. Phil was right behind him and everyone grinned.
"I think we've found something else to occupy us." grinned Makou.
They dashed over and all stood in a straight line, awaiting it to begin.
"Remember people," said Phil. "No takee dance seriously. Dance funly and stupidly. That be the point!" he grinned. (a/n: takee is not a spelling mistake.. i did that on purpose)
It began and everyone started the Macarena. But not the kind of way Danielle and stooges were. Not sluttely. (a/n: is that word? well.. if not, it is now) Crazily and insanely. Whacking each other in the face and such.
Pretty soon, to everyday people, the crazy ones doing the macarena in the way front may seem as if they were high or even possibly stoned. But no, they simply had caffiene.
Stevo and Phil were attempting to sing along.. but they knew very few words, so it pretty much sounded like some form of gibberish. Foreign gibberish.
All too soon, the song ended and Stevo and Phil began to chant.
"More! More! More! More! More! More! More! More!" they chanted.
The DJ grinned. "We got more!" he said. Next he played another undying song.
"The Chicken Dance!!!!!" shouted Faye.
"Yes!" shouted Stevo. "For all us Chicken Players!!"
"Whooo!!" shouted Rika.
They started to dance the chicken dance, also in a wild and insande kind of way. When it came time to walk around in a circle, they all randomly grasped hands with someone and spun around like crazy.
Unluckily for people nearby, Phil and Stevo spun so hard they went flying, which sent everyone else in the merry little group into hysterics.
As the Chicken Dance got faster, they became more wild and even teachers were now starting to give them strange looks.
Once again, all too soon for them. They all took a deep breath and Phil and Stevo began to chant 'More' over and over again.
A teacher ran over and whispered something to the DJ, who nodded. Then he fiddled around and the electric slide came on.
"ITS ELECTRIC!!" they all shouted and began to dance, running into each other as they twirled, clapped, spun and did whatever else was in the Electric Slide. They crashed into each other often, as well as random people. Pretty soon, there was a large gap around them.
The song ended again and the DJ picked up the mike. "I gotta request from someone to take things down a notch. We got ourselves a slooow song!" he shouted.
They groaned as their fun dancing was over.
"It doesn't have to end just yet." grinned Phil. A slightly evil looking grin at that.
"You thinkin what I'm thinkin, dude?" asked Stevo.
"Oh yeah." grinned Phil.
The two went up to each other and began to slow dance... sort of. They were wild and spinning faster than all others.
"Idea!" laughed Faye. She grabbed Henry's arm and dragged him towards Phil and Stevo, and they too were soon going nuts.
"Yeah!!!" shouted Makou, taking Kenny by the sleave and they too began the mystic ways of Crazy/Fast/Slow dance.
"Yeah!!" shouted Taguya. He grinned at Jeri who stepped back. He linked arms with her and dragged her over and began to dance.
"This is gonna be great!" laughed Toshi. He glanced at Rika (a/n: ha! i'm going to interupt just because i can and i want to keep you in suspense. but wait.. this is rukato, right? why's toshi gonna dance with rika? wait! who says he is? i'll shut up now. also because i can) but Kazu had grabbed his arm and was dragging him over.
Rika glanced at Takato and he glanced back. She shrugged and they dashed over to joing their friends.. in their crazy ways.
Now, in slow dance, normally, it goes slow. They guy's hands are around the girl's waist and the girl's hands are around the guy's neck. They move around in a circular motion. Now, are these people doing this? Of course not, are you crazy?!
Stevo and Phil were twirling around psychotically, ramming into the people that were actually slow dancing.
Toshi and Kazu were doing something similar, but they had began to purposely step on people's feet. Hearing screams of pain was fun.
Taguya was holding Jeri's hands and spinning her around. As she didn't exactly want to be doing this.
Makou and Kenny were just spinning. Forcing themselves to become extremely dizzy and ram into random people.
Faye and Henry were actually enjoying themselves. They were slow dancing. Not the kind that everyone else was, of course. They rammed into people and stuff, but they were waltzing somewhat, as Faye had her hand on Henry's shoulder and Henry had his hand around her waist and they were grasping hands.
Rika watched all this and laughed.
"Whats so funny?" asked Takato.
The two had their hands clasped and they were spinning around in the waltzy fashion Faye and Henry had going.
"Faye." she laughed.
Takato looked over and he laughed.
"Laughing at her?" asked Rika.
"Yeah." said Takato. "But Henry too.
"Why is that?" asked Rika, crashing into someone she didn't know. She coulda sworn she heard something like 'watch it'.
"Oh.. no reason.." he replied.
"Ok, I gotta question." said Rika, looking him in the eye.
"Yeah..?" he asked, slightly confused.
"Does Henry have a thing for Faye or something?" she asked.
Takato's eyes went a little wide. "Why do you ask me?"
"For one thing, he's your best friend. So logically, you would know." said Rika. "Not to mention, it kinda seems that way."
"Umm.."
"Answer me goggle-head."
"Swear not to tell?"
"Yeah yeah." said Rika. "My lips are sealed." she said, crashing into another couple.
"Fine." said Takato. "Yes."
Rika's eyes widened this time. "Say what?" she asked.
"Well, you wanted to know." shrugged Takato.
"No, I mean, what? As in seriously?"
Takato nodded. "Yeah." he said. "I fell bad about telling you this, but I got a question for you too."
"Oh great." she said sarcastically.
Takato narrowed his eyes. "He said that when he first met her, she seemed really nice and then each time he saw her, he grew to like her more." he explained. "He told me about it, and said he really liked her. Thats why he's always kinda like that around her."
Rika grinned. She would have to tell Faye later.. Oh wait.. She couldn't. She swore to Takato that she would tell.
"You won't tell, would you?" asked Takato, hitting someone.
"I won't." replied Rika.
"Now you have to answer my question." said Takato.
"Ok. Depending on if I can or not." she replied.
"Does Faye like Henry?" he asked.
Woah.. she was not prepared for that question! "Uhh.." she said.
"Answer." he grinned.
"Fine." said Rika. "But you can't tell either."
"I won't, I won't." said Takato, crashing into someone else. Or it could have been the same person. He didn't know.
"Yes." she sighed.
"What?"
"Yes! Yes she does!" said Rika. "Thats all she talks about half the time! Sometimes it gets to the point where I wanna go, shut up! And then cry. And moan." she said.
Takato grinned. "This is weird."
"What is?" asked Rika, ramming into a person. Making sure it was Danielle. She glared and Rika stepped on her foot.
"Our best friends have the hots for each other." said Takato.
"That is kinda strange." grinned Rika.
"You know what we should do?"
"Oh great." said Rika. "The look of evil."
Takato laughed. "No. I just figured we could play matchmaker or somethine. You know, try to get them together." he grinned.
"I've always thought about it." replied Rika. "Trying to get them together, I mean."
"It would be so funny!" said Takato.
"Yeah, it probably would." said Rika. "Faye's a little strange-"
"So is Henry." interupted Takato.
"And Henry is too." grinned Rika. "So watching them as we played matchmaker could be very entertaining." she said.
Takato nodded. "Forget about TV, we got new entertainment." he grinned.
"We'll need to plan this out, obviously." said Rika. "And if anyone asks, we can tell them its our plans for.. uhh... world domination." she grinned.
Takato laughed again. "World domination. How original."
"Can you think of something better?" asked Rika, running into another person.
"Nope!" grinned Takato. "Guess we're using world domination. It just might scare people though." he said.
"What fun!" grinned Rika.
Then someone, ('Not them Stevo!') crashed into them, causing Rika to fly into Takato, her hands landing on his chest, because thats what normal people do when they're shoved. Throw their hands out in front of them to stop them from hitting something.. or something like that. Anyway, Takato now had his hands on Rika's shoulders.
As Phil and Stevo whirled away, Takato and Rika stared at each other, realizing exactly how they were positioned.
Rika tried to break the gaze, but she couldn't. And she was completely aware of what this looked like. She was pretty sure Takato was going through the same thing.
"Come on, you two!" shouted Kazu as he and Toshi twirled by.
That worked. They both looked away. Rika backed up and Takato let go of her shoulders. They were close in height too. (a/n: dont ask what height as to do with this, but i figured i might as well throw it in sometime. ^^)
The song ended and they Crazy/Fast/Slow dancers stopped and meeted each other near Takato and Rika to plan their next moment of terror.
"You do realize it was the teacher that requested that song." said Faye. "She wanted to calm us down."
"I guess she failed in her mission." grinned Henry. Faye grinned back.
Which sent off a chain reaction. Rika and Takato started to crack up, getting weird looks from everyone.
"Are you guys ok?" asked Toshi, raising an eyebrow.
"We're fine." said Rika.
"Yup." nodded Takato. "Just thinking about our plan."
"What would that be?" asked Faye suspiciously.
"Our plan for world domination." grinned Rika.
"The world is mine!" shouted Stevo. He began to laugh insanely again.
"No, dude. Its mine!" shouted Phil.
Rika laughed. This was turning out to be fun after all.
