chapter thirteen: winter dance (part 2)
Finally, after getting Stevo and Phil to stop fighting over who was gonna rule the world, they literally sat down to plan their next act of terror and chaos.
"We could ask people strange questions." shrugged Kazu.
"Nah, thats no fun unless you don't KNOW the person." replied Rika. "Random questioning is for stores and malls."
"Yeah!" grinned Faye. "Like going up to old grannies and saying stuff like, 'What exactly *is* a condom for?" she grinned.
Rika's mouth dropped. "And where the hell did you come up with that, Faye?" she asked, completely shocked that her friend would say something like that.
Faye grinned. "About two seconds ago. Gimme a break, it was the first thing that popped in my head."
Rika shook her head.
"I NEED TO CAUSE CHAOS!!" shouted Stevo.
Rika shook her head. "Why don't you just go around and ram into people, and when you do say quack, then turn around and go in another direction." she said.
Stevo sat in silence for a minutes then perked up. "YES!" he shouted. He leaped up and started running towards everyone. And everyone had a look of impending doom on their faces.
Toshi shook his head. "Idiot.." he laughed.
Then they all heard a loud, "QUACK!"
"Rika, what did you do." asked Kenny.
Rika grinned as a reply. "Chaos, Panic, disorder. My work here is done." she said.
"Dude! I am taking that from you and using it as my own quote!" said Phil. "And I am also stealing your idea for Stevo as my own as he is having to much fun!" he said and jumped up to join the idiotic Stevo and his mystical ways.
"Rika." said Makou. "You seriously need to stop making suggestions and quotes and giving them to the two morons I call my friends." he grinned.
Rika shrugged. "Its fun." she said.
"Hey, anyone know what time it is anyway?" asked Taguya.
Henry glanced at his watch. "It is currently...eight fifty eight." he said.
"Wow." said Jeri. "We only have an hour left."
"Time flies when your havin fun." grinned Kazu.
"It sure does." said Toshi.
"QUACK!"
"QUACK QUACK!"
"Somebody catch them ducks!" shouted Kenny.
"QUACK YOU!"
Rika laughed. Man, these guys were strange. Cool, yes but very strange.
"I think I wanna get a breath of fresh air." said Faye, standing. "Rika, Jeri. Come. Let us fly." she said, pulling Rika to her feet.
"Why do I have to come?" groaned Rika as Faye pulled Jeri to her feet.
"Because I said so." said Faye, linking arms with her and dragging her out of the gym. Jeri followed behind them.
They explained to the seniors that they needed some air and went outside.
"Wow." said Faye, shivering. "I shoulda brought my coat. Its FREEZING!"
Jeri nodded. "You're te-telling me!" she said.
"Its not so bad." said Rika.
"Rika Nonaka-Makino." said Faye. "You are wearing two layers, and I'm sure you have a tee shirt or something under that. Shut up."
Rika grinned. She looked up. "Its still snowing." she said.
"Yeah, but its just flurries." said Faye. She stuck out her toungue.
"Why did you wanna come out here anyway?" asked Rika.
Faye grinned. "I don't want tonight to end!" she said.
"Huh?" asked Rika.
"Me and Henry are hitting it off so well!" said Faye. "Not to mention, the second I get home we're leaving for the airport. Damn airport." she said.
"Why do you go to an airport thats so far away?" asked Rika. "There's one in the city."
"Because its on some program with Kenjji's college." explained Faye. "If we fly by them, they pay some of his tuition or something." she said.
"Weird.." said Rika.
Faye sighed. "I know." she said. "But its not fair. Well, it is kinda cool to be going to Hong Kong and all... but now I have to wait until Tuesday to see Henry again."
Rika laughed. If her friend only new what she had in store for her.
"What exactly is so funny?" asked Faye. "I swear if its about me and Henry again.."
Rika grinned. "It is." she said. "But its not bad. Its just funny."
Jeri grinned. Faye glared.
"I swear. No bad." said Rika. She looked up at the sky. "Wish I could see some stars." she said. She leaned against the wall.
"Huh?" asked Jeri.
"When I was little, we lived in a house in the country-ish. Not a city." said Rika. "I can vaguely remember seeing stars. But here, forget it."
Faye smiled a weak smile. "You'll see the stars again." she said.
"Yeah, but when?" asked Rika.
Jeri just stood there, kinda lost but content.
"I think I'll go back there some day." said Rika. "Just to see it. See the stars. See.. the house.. where.." she said. Then she stopped, closing her eyes tightly to block out the tears.
"Rika.." said Faye softly. She put her hand on her friend's face. "Stop." she said.
Jeri bit her lip, still lost but not saying a word. This was obviously very deep and just between the two of them. She stayed quiet and resolved to looking at the sky.
Rika grinned sheepishly. "Sorry.. Got carried away." she said. She rubbed her eyes. "Its just, well yeah you know what I mean.
Faye nodded. "Of course" she said. "Why don't we go back inside and get out of the cold. Yout eyes will freeze." she grinned.
Rika grinned. "Sure." she said. She was really lucky to have a friend like Faye. She could count on her whenever she needed it most.
The three of them turned and headed back inside.
"I wonder what kinda chaos Stevo and Phil have caused now." grinned Faye.
"We'll have to go see, then won't we?" asked Rika.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rika, Faye and Jeri walked back inside and saw all the guys were now running around, running into random people screaming QUACK.
"Should we join?" asked Rika.
"Nah." said Faye. "Lets just watch this time." she said.
"Sounds good to me!" grinned Jeri.
The three of them walked over and sat on the bottom step of the bleachers, watching the guys run into people.. and shout quack.
"Rika, your imagination can be a weird and crazy things some time." said Faye, watching Stevo run into the DJ and shout QUACK in the microphone and causing everyone to look over at them.
Rika, Faye and Jeri roared with laughter.
"QUACK!!!" shouted Faye.
Takato and Henry had just ran into each other and quacked when they heard Faye's shout and dashed over.
"Done talking about who knows what?" asked Takato.
"Yup. We done." grinned Faye.
"I see you've become random ducks?" asked Rika, grinning.
"QUACK!" shouted Kenny as he crashed into Takato and sent him flying. He fell foward and who else would be be standing in front of but Rika.
As he fell from being pushed, he knocked Rika onto her back, somewhat, as she leaned against the next riser/bleacher/step. Takato was somewhat over her; his hands were holding himself up on the bleacher/step/riser than Rika's back was on.
Rika's eyes widened. Damn Kenny.. she thought.
Takato suddenly seemed to be lifted in the air and Rika sat up slowly, shocked as what had just happened to her.
She looked at Takato and saw Henry had a firm grip on Takato's shirt. Apparently, he had pulled Takato to his feet.
Faye burst out laughing. "Down boy!" she cracked.
Rika glared and whacked her friend across the back of her head. "Stupid." she said.
Faye grinned and stuck out her toungue. Like she did often.
"Nonaka!"
Rika groaned. A voice that annoying could only belong to the one person she could not stand... "Get it right, Spencer. Its Nonaka-Makino." she said.
"Who cares." replied the prep.
Just then, Phil crashed into Danielle with a cup of soda, spilling it on her shirt and screaming, what else, but quack.
She screamed. A few people looked over but when they saw it was nothing serious, went back to whatever it was they were doing.
"You stupid-" she started
"Come on, Danielle." grinned Faye. "Its just a little soda! It'll come out in the wash." she said. "Unless its grape soda. Smell it. What is it?" she asked.
Danielle glared. "I'm not smelling it." she said. Meanwhile, Takato and Henry had mystiously disapeared.
"There's nothing wrong with it." said Rika. "You spill something, you wanna see if it smells bad." she grinned. She smelt her sleave/arm. "See?"
Danielle glared.
"Here, Rika!" said Takato cheerfully, handing her a cup of something. Henry stood nearby with a positively evil grin plastered on her face.
Rika looked at him, than at the soda. She smelt it. It was.. She grinned. "So, Danielle. What kinda soda is that on your shirt again?" she asked.
Phil walked by and shouted, "Mt Dew, baby!" and ran off.
"Ah, Mt Dew." said Rika. "So.. would you care for more?"
"Don't even think about it." said Danielle.
"Fine. I won't." said Rika, standing and dumping her soda on Danielle's head, watching it seep down her shirt.
"ACK!" shouted Danielle, tapping her head. "You f***ing bitch!" she screamed. "What the f*** is your problem?!"
"You." said Rika, grinning. "Now get outta my face. Unless you want more grape soda dripping down your pants."
Danielle, fuming, screamed in outrage and dashed off somewhere. Rika and the whole crew, howling with laughter.
"What did we miss?" asked Kenny, going back and forth between the hysterical people near the bleachers.
"Surely you saw my wonderful performance?" asked Phil, coming over and throwing an arm around Kenny's shoulders.
"If you mean the quacks, it wasn't just your performance, my friend." replied Kenny.
"No, no no! I mean the dumping of Mt Dew on Spencer's shirt and such." said Phil. "Sadly, it was a waste of good ol' mt dew... Alas.. I will miss it so..."
"Riight.." replied Kenny. "Now get your arm off my shoulders, ya jackass."
Phil leaped away. "Forgive me!" he said. Then he started making donkey sounds. He wandered off somewhere, to do his mystical things. Strange, mystical things.
Toshi and Makou came over now. "I think we have finished our quacking." said Toshi, sitting on the bleachers, next to Rika. A jealous look crossed Takato's face for a second, unknown to Rika.
"Hey." said Makou. "Ducks are cool. They waddle when they walk."
"Waddle rhymes with... uh.. taddle." said Faye.
"Taddle?" asked Rika.
Faye shrugged. "Couldn't think of anything so I just made up a word." she said. (a/n: pernounce taddle like waddle.. for the sake of the story.. *cheesy smile* hey.. i like cheese..)
"So what time is it now?" asked Rika.
Henry glanced at his watch. "It is nine twenty eight." he said. "We have approximately half an hour left before we head home."
"I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toy R Us kid.." sang/shouted Stevo, walking by them.
Momentarliy at a loss for words at the very strange outburst of song, they remained silent for a few seconds.
"Can anyone think of anymore terror?" asked Makou.
"Sorry. Fresh outta ideas." said Rika.
"I think I'm gonna go get some soda. Anyone wanna come?" asked Toshi.
"I will!" shouted Stevo, popping out of nowhere from behind Makou. He jumped and smacked his across the head.
"Idiot.." he laughed. "But yeah. I could use some more caffiene."
"Yes." said Stevo. "My sugar and caffiene level is dangerously low at the moment. NEED SODA.... NOW!!" he shouted and ran off to get some.
"I think we'd better follow.." said Toshi. "That guy is dangerous when left unattended like that." he dashed off after him, following by Kenny and Makou.
Seeing them run off, Taguya and Phil ran after them.
"Where are they going?" asked Kazu, coming over.
"To get caffiene." said Faye. "Be afraid. Be VERY afraid."
"Think I'll join em.." said Kazu, running off.
"Oh dear god." said Faye. "We have lost Kazu to the mystic ways of the looneys, Phil and Stevo. What will the preps say next?" she grinned.
"Nah, it'll be Danielle that will be the one saying stuff." said Takato. "Everyone else could care less. Except for a few... But not all preps are so bad."
"Of course you would say that." grinned Faye. "Not to long ago, you were a preppy guy. But thankfully, Rika and I have saved you from their terrifying ways."
Takato and Henry blinked as Faye went off into her own little world, laughing isanely and shaking her hands.
"Sometimes I wonder if I should get you commited, Faye." grinned Rika.
"Please don't call the men in white on me!" grinned Faye. "They've already tried to help me!! And they didn't succeed because I scared them too much! They'll never come near me again!!" she laughed.
"Ok.." said Jeri.
"Note to self- watch out for Faye Kamiyo." said Henry.
"Watch out?" asked Faye. "What? Watch out for ME?"
"You know what.." said Rika, getting an idea. "I think I sense a new plan for world domination coming up. I'll be back. Come Jeri." she said, grabbing her wrist and walking off.
"Back off Rika!" she heard Faye shout. "I AM THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD!!! HA HA HA HA!!"
"Great.." laughed Rika.
Takato caught up with them. "Umm.. whats with Faye?" he asked.
"Oh, maybe I should have warned you all." said Rika. "When Faye has any kind of highly caffinated soda, such as Mt Dew or Vanilla Coke, she goes completely insane. More than once I have seriously considered calling the men in white. Because their are times when she really freaks me out."
"Really." said Takato.
"Hell yeah!" said Rika. "One time, she went all sadistic and threatened to kill everyone." she said. "Being on a sugar high, I didn't take her seriously, but it was very scarey as she said it in a dead serious tone of voice."
"Wow.. I should warn Henry about that." he said.
"I'm confused.." said Jeri.
"Oh right!" said Rika. "Sorry bout that Jeri. We're going to leave Faye and Henry alone. Just to see what happens." she grinned.
Jeri smiled. "So you're playing matchmaker, in a way?" she asked.
Rika grinned evilly. "In a way. Don't tell anyone though." she said. "Especially not them two. They would kill us."
"My lips are sealed." grinned Jeri.
"Good." said Rika. "Lets head outside again."
The three went outside and stood in the snow once again. Except it was coming down slightly harder than before.
"Its so cold." said Takato.
"Its not so bad." shrugged Rika.
"You're crazy." said Takato.
"Nope. Faye is." she grinned.
Jeri shivered. "All that soda and this cold weather... it doesn't mix well." she said. She turned and headed inside. "I'll be right back. I have to go use the bathroom." she grinned.
"See ya!" grinned Rika. She leaned against the wall.
"This is turning out to be a very interesting night.." said Takato.
"Really?" asked Rika.
"Never in my entire life did I imagine I would go to a dance and play chicken. Then join a psychopathic conga line. Then become a random duck." he said.
Rika laughed. "See, ya never knew what you were missing!"
"Yeah." laughed Takato. "To think. I'd probably look back and think, 'Man. High school sucked. I did nothing' if you never came here."
Rika looked up, feeling her cheeks get a little warm. "What do ya mean?" she asked, refusing to look at him.
"I mean, if you never walked into the bakery that day, I probably wouldn't have met you. Well, actually I would have. In school. But we probably wouldn't have gotton to know each other so well." said Takato. "And I'd still be living a boring life, doing the same things over and over with the same people."
Rika felt her face get redder.
Takato laughed. "I mean, its a bad thing that got you to come to my school in the first place, but its a good thing that you came." he said.
Rika felt her entire face turn a deep shade of crimson. 'Thank god its dark..' she thought. 'But what the holy hell? Why is he saying all this. And even worse! WHY is my face turning RED as he says it?!?!'
"The passed couple of weeks have been some of the greatest in my entire life." said Takato. "And I know there's gonna be more to come. It seems like you, me, Henry, Faye and Jeri are like a little group of oddballs. Not caring about anything but fun."
"Yeah. Kinda.." said Rika, saying the first word she had said this entire conversation.
"I think the five of us are gonna be friends for a very long time." said Takato. He leaned against the wall. "And there's always the possibilty that two of us will get married." he grinned.
This was too much. "What?!" asked Rika.
"Stupid, I don't mean us!" laughed Takato. "I meant Faye and Henry."
'Thank you darkness.' thought Rika as her face went bright red again. "Yeah. I knew that... it was just weird." she managed to get out. Great.. it seemed as if Faye was right. She was falling for that stupid goggle headed boy.
"Yeah.. uh.." said Takato. Even he was uncompfortable now.
The silence was getting strange. It seemed like neither of them were even breathing. They didn't move. It was getting a little too tense.
"Hello, All!!"
Rika and Takato jumped in the air, terrified out of their minds. They turned to see Faye, Henry and Jeri standing there.
"I just had yet another glass of Mt Dew and I am ready to go!" said Faye as she started to prance around.
"You wanna go home?" asked Jeri.
"No!" grinned Faye. "I wanna do something!"
The three looked at Takato and Rika. "Did we interupt something?" asked Henry.
"Why would you say that?" asked Takato. "Let get inside. It is CoLd out here!" he said, heading towards the door. Henry followed, as did Jeri.
Rika looked up. Soft, light snow... it wasn't so cold out, was it? "Do we have to go inside?" she asked.
Faye looked at her watch. "Its almost over. Lets get inside." she said, grabbing her friend's arm. "We don't have much time yet anyway so we'll be walking home in this."
"True." grinned Rika.
Faye dragged her friend inside, as she(Rika) stared at the snow, falling in a lazy way towards the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I cannot believe the night is almost over!" shouted Stevo. "And I just had my tenth cup of soda! HIGHLY caffinated kind!!" he said, messing up his hair.
"Its fine, Stevo." said Toshi. "There will be more dances and more chances to terrorize. As it is listed under your hobbies."
"But of course." grinned Stevo.
"Besides, no one says you can't cause chaos during school." grinned Rika.
Stevo froze for a second. He seemed to be thinking about something. "Hey! You're right! I AM SAVED!!" he said and ran off somewhere.
"Thanks Rika." said Toshi. "Now we have to watch out for him causing mass destruction during school, instead of just out of school."
Rika shrugged. "Setting insane maniacs lose on the school is listed under my hobbies." she grinned. "And Faye is listed under those insane maniacs."
"Hey!" said Faye. (a/n: that rhymes...)
"Well its true." said Rika. "You do suffer from insanity, Faye, at times."
"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it." grinned Faye.
"If you say so, Faye." said Henry.
"Hey ya'll!" shouted the DJ. "We only got a few minutes left, so we're gonna play some really wile music! Get ready people!" he shouted. People cheered. Rika gagged.
A horrible, horrible rap song began to play and a very loud scream of pain/agony from somewhere in the gym that be heard above everything else was given off by Stevo.
"I feel like skipping and spinning." said Faye. She got up and skipped over to the emptier part of the gym. Reaching it, she began to whirl around in circles.
"Dude.." said Toshi, watching her. "Is that girl on drugs?"
"No." said Rika. "Its just caffiene and such. The same thing happens to her, that happens to Stevo and Phil." she explained.
"Oh I see." replied Toshi. "Maybe we should all go spin around. Ya know, as the last thing of the night." he said.
"Sure!" said Taguya, linking arms with Toshi and skipping over towards Faye. Kenny and Makou were not far behind.
Stevo came out of no where and rammed into Faye. Then instead of spinning around like the others, he jumped in the air and spun. Humming a strange song.
Rika skipped over there next. Behind her she could here Takato, Henry and Kazu not to far from her. Also skipping.
Phil came skipping passed her and stuck out his toungue. "Ha! I will beat you there!"
"I think not!" said Rika, skipping faster.
They raced over and Rika crashed into Faye and they both fell to the ground, laughing hysterically. Phil kept on running and crashed into the wall.
Pretty soon, they were all spinning around in circles, getting more dizzy.
"Last one standing wins!" shouted Faye.
"Wins what?" asked Stevo.
"A bottle of Mt Dew!" shouted Faye. "From.. uh, the second to last person to stop spinning!" she laughed.
"Your on!" shouted Phil.
And so, they began to spin around nonstop. Jeri was the first to stop, followed by Kenny. Jeri sat on the ground with her eyes closed, trying to get rid of the diziness.
Kenny stood up, but he was swaying back and forth. He was joined a few moments later by Taguya, who also swayed back and forth.
"I give up!" laughed Toshi. He walked over to the wall, like he was drunk and leaned against it, sinking to the floor.
Rika, Faye, Takato, Henry, Kazu, Phil, Stevo and Makou remained. Makou crashed into Henry and they fell to the ground.
"Ha!" shouted Faye. "You're out!" she laughed menacingly.
The two walked over in a drunken fashion and sat on the ground next to Toshi. In a few minutes, Kazu had somehow ended up crashing into the wall and falling down. Unable to spin any longer. Takato dropped out soon after him.
Now only four remained, and three of them were determined to get that Mt Dew. The fourth was just there to disapoint the rest by getting it for herself.
Pretty soon, Rika could barely seen anything she was so dizzy. Yet she heard Faye still cackling and Phil and Stevo still.. umm .. doing whatever it was they were doing.
"Waaahhh!!" screamed Phil. He could no longer stand and he fell over. "Why is the ceiling moving around so quickly?!?!" he demanded. He attempted to stand but couldn't do so. He walked a few feet and crashed- into Stevo. They both fell down.
"NO!" shouted Stevo. "I have lost! *@.@*" he wailed. He stood up and walked around. He couldn't tell up from down, left from right and he was running into things and people. Then eventually, he toppled over and lay flat on his back. If possible as in anime, his eyes would be swirly. But we shall just put these in instead: @.@
"I will win Rika!" shouted Faye. "On a sugar high, I can stay up for hours, as you should know!" she declared.
By now, Rika was getting too confused and dizzy. She could barely stand up anymore. "Ok, Faye Kamiyo! I give up!" she shouted and fell over.
"ALAS!!" shouted Faye. "I have WON THE MT DEW!"
Rika managed to look over at her friend, and saw that she was still spinning. "You can stop now! Faye! You won!" she shouted.
"I can keep on going!" she replied.
"You're making me dizzy!" shouted Rika back at her. "STOP!"
Faye stopped. She stood perfectly straight. Not even a hint of dizziness, or swaying. She walked over to Rika and squatted down. "You owe me a bottle of Mt Dew." she said in a dead serious kind of tone. "If I do not find an unopened, higly caffinated bottle of Mt Dew sitting on my bed when I return from Hong Kong, you will face the rath of me. I will cause mass destruction upon your-"
"Geez Faye." laughed Rika, the dizziness going away. "There will be Mt Dew on your bed when you get back. I swear." she said.
"There had better be." said Faye, narrow eyes.
Ok.. there were times when Faye was hilarious when she was on a sugar high.. but then there were times when she scared the fricking crap outta you. And this was one of those times.
"I am going to get one final cup of soda." said Faye, standing. "Stay." she declared and walked away.
Takato and Henry came over, with Jeri right behind. They sat next to Rika.
"You're right." said Takato, watching Faye leave. "She can be very scarey at times. Was this what it was like when she was threatening to kill?" he asked.
Rika shuddered, remembering it all too well. She hadn't slept that night. "No. That was worse." she said.
The three blinked.
"It was at my house. It was dark. She had a pair of scissors in her hand. She was threatening to kill." said Rika. "Adding all these together.. you try not to be afraid."
The three all shuddered at the same time.
"Why did she have scissors in her hand?" asked Henry.
"She was cutting up construction paper into tiny little pieces." replied Rika.
"Why?" asked Jeri.
"I have no idea." said Rika.
They sat in silence, awaiting Faye's return. When she finally came back, she was back into her humorous mode. To the relief of Rika.
"Time to go home!" said Faye. She held out her hand and helped Rika to her feet. "Lets go get our coats." she said.
Takato, Henry and Jeri stood up and followed.
"See ya Tuesday!" said Faye, waving to the skaters. All but two waved good bye back. As the two(Phil and Stevo) were still on the ground.
The five went to the lockers and got out their coats. Pulling them on, they headed towards the doors.
"So Rika," said Takato. "Are you glad we came?" he asked.
"Yeah." grinned Rika. "It was fun."
"Yes indeed!" grinned Faye. She was half skipping/half walking.
"Faye.." started Rika.
"Yes?"
"Exactly how many cups of Mt Dew and such did you have tonight?" asked Rika.
"I lost count after fifteen." came the reply.
Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri would now make a face something like this, if it were animated: O.o
"And now.." said Faye. "I am driving to the airport. A three hour drive." she said. "Not fun. I can't do anything! I'm stuck in the back of a moving vehicle! I NEED FREEDOM!"
"Chill Faye you're not even in the car yet. You're not even home." said Rika.
Faye looked around. "Oh yes." she said.
Rika shook her head. "I think you should lay off the moutain dew a tad bit, my friend."
"Lay off the Mt Dew?!?!" asked Faye. She whirled around and grabbed Rika by her collar. "Have you gone mad, Rika?!" she shouted.
"I'm kidding.. I'm kidding.." said Rika.
"Good." said Faye. She let go and continued to walk.
Takato went up to Rika. "I'd hate to live with her. I bet her parents go nuts." he said in a low voice.
"Oh, well they're used to it by now." said Rika. "They have an immunity towards it. I think I should be getting used to it soon too.." she grinned.
"Well guys, here's my house." said Jeri. She stopped and went up to the door. "See you." she grinned.
"So long, Jeri!" said Rika.
"Beware of the dust bunnies!" shouted Faye.
"Ok.." said Jeri. She waved and went inside her house.
"Wish I was home now." said Takato. "That girl up there is really starting to scare me."
"Get used to it." said Rika.
They walked a little more, and Faye began to sing songs out loud. And oddly enough they rhymed. It was poetic. And some verses were terrifying at times.
"Yeah well, I gotta turn down here." said Henry, nodding towards the street.
"I'll go with him." said Takato. "My house isn't too far, so I'll just go this way." he said. Apparently, the two were getting disturbed by Faye.
"Don't be afraid!" said Faye. "We're all gonna die someday!"
Rika rolled her eyes. Takato and Henry stared.
"Just go." laughed Rika. "And don't take her seriously. I think I'll warn her parents about this. See ya around." she grinned.
"See ya." said Takato. The two guys walked down the street.
Rika and Faye continued towards Faye's house. Rika stared up at the sky, ignoring the nonsense things that Faye was telling herself. It was still snowing out.
After a while, they reached the Kamiyo household and Rika went inside for a second. As Faye raced off to use the bathroom, Rika warned her parents of Faye's condition.
"Thanks Rika." said Mrs. Kamiyo. "I think we'll take some duct tape with us."
"Take a picture." laughed Rika. "Well, I should head home now." she said.
"All right. Take care." said Mr. Kamiyo.
"You two." said Rika. She headed for the door and heard Faye dash out fo the bathroom, laughing hysterically.
"You thought you could leave without saying good bye, did ya?" she said evilly, jumping in front of Rika.
"Actually, I knew you would come and stop me." grinned Rika. "So I will say, see ya when I see ya." she said.
"Good bye!" grinned Faye. Then it disapeared. "And do not forget the Dew."
"I won't." said Rika. "Bye."
Rika left the house, to hear Faye continue in her hysterical laughter.
"Damn.." said Rika. "That girl really scares me sometimes."
Rika walked towards her house, in the snow and crossed her arms. It was a fun night. It was a good thing her friends had convinced her to come along with them.
"Think of what I woulda missed out on if I didn't go." she grinned.
She turned the corner to her house and stopped outside the gate and froze.
"What the hell?" she asked.
The gate was open. Wide open. This was weird. It was very unlike her mother and grandmother to leave it like this.
She stuck her head in and looked inside. She couldn't see any lighs on. "Strange.." she said. If they had gone somewhere, they would have called her. Or told Faye's parents. Or something. She went in and looked around on the lawn.
She could see the whole house and there was no lights on at all. It was like they lost the power. "Yeah!" she said. "Thats it. The power went out."
But it still didn't explain the gate.
Rika shook her head. "I'll just go find them." she said.
She headed for the part of the porch around her house that let her get up on the porch. She went up and walked towards the kitchen. She went over and put her ear against the door. She opened it and looked inside. She flipped on the light switch and saw dishes in the sink and a towel on the floor. She narrowed her eyes. Weird...
She left the kitchen and cautiously walked towards the living room. She put her ear against the door and heard some weird noises. She flung open the door and flipped on the light.
"WHAT?!" she screamed. She ran over to her mother who looked terrified. She sat on the couch with duct tape on her mouth. Rumiko shook her head furiously, as though telling Rika to get away.
Rika dashed over and pulled off the duct tape. "Mom!" she said.
"Rika!" she shouted. "GET OUT!"
Rika cocked her head. "What are you-" she didn't finish her sentance, as the lights went out. She heard a step near the door.
"Hello.... Rika..."
Rika's eyes widened. She turned slowly. She saw a sillouette standing in the door way, against the moon light and snow.
"Rika..." said the sillouette. "Daddy's home...."

chapter thirteen: winter dance (part 2)
Finally, after getting Stevo and Phil to stop fighting over who was gonna rule the world, they literally sat down to plan their next act of terror and chaos.
"We could ask people strange questions." shrugged Kazu.
"Nah, thats no fun unless you don't KNOW the person." replied Rika. "Random questioning is for stores and malls."
"Yeah!" grinned Faye. "Like going up to old grannies and saying stuff like, 'What exactly *is* a condom for?" she grinned.
Rika's mouth dropped. "And where the hell did you come up with that, Faye?" she asked, completely shocked that her friend would say something like that.
Faye grinned. "About two seconds ago. Gimme a break, it was the first thing that popped in my head."
Rika shook her head.
"I NEED TO CAUSE CHAOS!!" shouted Stevo.
Rika shook her head. "Why don't you just go around and ram into people, and when you do say quack, then turn around and go in another direction." she said.
Stevo sat in silence for a minutes then perked up. "YES!" he shouted. He leaped up and started running towards everyone. And everyone had a look of impending doom on their faces.
Toshi shook his head. "Idiot.." he laughed.
Then they all heard a loud, "QUACK!"
"Rika, what did you do." asked Kenny.
Rika grinned as a reply. "Chaos, Panic, disorder. My work here is done." she said.
"Dude! I am taking that from you and using it as my own quote!" said Phil. "And I am also stealing your idea for Stevo as my own as he is having to much fun!" he said and jumped up to join the idiotic Stevo and his mystical ways.
"Rika." said Makou. "You seriously need to stop making suggestions and quotes and giving them to the two morons I call my friends." he grinned.
Rika shrugged. "Its fun." she said.
"Hey, anyone know what time it is anyway?" asked Taguya.
Henry glanced at his watch. "It is currently...eight fifty eight." he said.
"Wow." said Jeri. "We only have an hour left."
"Time flies when your havin fun." grinned Kazu.
"It sure does." said Toshi.
"QUACK!"
"QUACK QUACK!"
"Somebody catch them ducks!" shouted Kenny.
"QUACK YOU!"
Rika laughed. Man, these guys were strange. Cool, yes but very strange.
"I think I wanna get a breath of fresh air." said Faye, standing. "Rika, Jeri. Come. Let us fly." she said, pulling Rika to her feet.
"Why do I have to come?" groaned Rika as Faye pulled Jeri to her feet.
"Because I said so." said Faye, linking arms with her and dragging her out of the gym. Jeri followed behind them.
They explained to the seniors that they needed some air and went outside.
"Wow." said Faye, shivering. "I shoulda brought my coat. Its FREEZING!"
Jeri nodded. "You're te-telling me!" she said.
"Its not so bad." said Rika.
"Rika Nonaka-Makino." said Faye. "You are wearing two layers, and I'm sure you have a tee shirt or something under that. Shut up."
Rika grinned. She looked up. "Its still snowing." she said.
"Yeah, but its just flurries." said Faye. She stuck out her toungue.
"Why did you wanna come out here anyway?" asked Rika.
Faye grinned. "I don't want tonight to end!" she said.
"Huh?" asked Rika.
"Me and Henry are hitting it off so well!" said Faye. "Not to mention, the second I get home we're leaving for the airport. Damn airport." she said.
"Why do you go to an airport thats so far away?" asked Rika. "There's one in the city."
"Because its on some program with Kenjji's college." explained Faye. "If we fly by them, they pay some of his tuition or something." she said.
"Weird.." said Rika.
Faye sighed. "I know." she said. "But its not fair. Well, it is kinda cool to be going to Hong Kong and all... but now I have to wait until Tuesday to see Henry again."
Rika laughed. If her friend only new what she had in store for her.
"What exactly is so funny?" asked Faye. "I swear if its about me and Henry again.."
Rika grinned. "It is." she said. "But its not bad. Its just funny."
Jeri grinned. Faye glared.
"I swear. No bad." said Rika. She looked up at the sky. "Wish I could see some stars." she said. She leaned against the wall.
"Huh?" asked Jeri.
"When I was little, we lived in a house in the country-ish. Not a city." said Rika. "I can vaguely remember seeing stars. But here, forget it."
Faye smiled a weak smile. "You'll see the stars again." she said.
"Yeah, but when?" asked Rika.
Jeri just stood there, kinda lost but content.
"I think I'll go back there some day." said Rika. "Just to see it. See the stars. See.. the house.. where.." she said. Then she stopped, closing her eyes tightly to block out the tears.
"Rika.." said Faye softly. She put her hand on her friend's face. "Stop." she said.
Jeri bit her lip, still lost but not saying a word. This was obviously very deep and just between the two of them. She stayed quiet and resolved to looking at the sky.
Rika grinned sheepishly. "Sorry.. Got carried away." she said. She rubbed her eyes. "Its just, well yeah you know what I mean.
Faye nodded. "Of course" she said. "Why don't we go back inside and get out of the cold. Yout eyes will freeze." she grinned.
Rika grinned. "Sure." she said. She was really lucky to have a friend like Faye. She could count on her whenever she needed it most.
The three of them turned and headed back inside.
"I wonder what kinda chaos Stevo and Phil have caused now." grinned Faye.
"We'll have to go see, then won't we?" asked Rika.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rika, Faye and Jeri walked back inside and saw all the guys were now running around, running into random people screaming QUACK.
"Should we join?" asked Rika.
"Nah." said Faye. "Lets just watch this time." she said.
"Sounds good to me!" grinned Jeri.
The three of them walked over and sat on the bottom step of the bleachers, watching the guys run into people.. and shout quack.
"Rika, your imagination can be a weird and crazy things some time." said Faye, watching Stevo run into the DJ and shout QUACK in the microphone and causing everyone to look over at them.
Rika, Faye and Jeri roared with laughter.
"QUACK!!!" shouted Faye.
Takato and Henry had just ran into each other and quacked when they heard Faye's shout and dashed over.
"Done talking about who knows what?" asked Takato.
"Yup. We done." grinned Faye.
"I see you've become random ducks?" asked Rika, grinning.
"QUACK!" shouted Kenny as he crashed into Takato and sent him flying. He fell foward and who else would be be standing in front of but Rika.
As he fell from being pushed, he knocked Rika onto her back, somewhat, as she leaned against the next riser/bleacher/step. Takato was somewhat over her; his hands were holding himself up on the bleacher/step/riser than Rika's back was on.
Rika's eyes widened. Damn Kenny.. she thought.
Takato suddenly seemed to be lifted in the air and Rika sat up slowly, shocked as what had just happened to her.
She looked at Takato and saw Henry had a firm grip on Takato's shirt. Apparently, he had pulled Takato to his feet.
Faye burst out laughing. "Down boy!" she cracked.
Rika glared and whacked her friend across the back of her head. "Stupid." she said.
Faye grinned and stuck out her toungue. Like she did often.
"Nonaka!"
Rika groaned. A voice that annoying could only belong to the one person she could not stand... "Get it right, Spencer. Its Nonaka-Makino." she said.
"Who cares." replied the prep.
Just then, Phil crashed into Danielle with a cup of soda, spilling it on her shirt and screaming, what else, but quack.
She screamed. A few people looked over but when they saw it was nothing serious, went back to whatever it was they were doing.
"You stupid-" she started
"Come on, Danielle." grinned Faye. "Its just a little soda! It'll come out in the wash." she said. "Unless its grape soda. Smell it. What is it?" she asked.
Danielle glared. "I'm not smelling it." she said. Meanwhile, Takato and Henry had mystiously disapeared.
"There's nothing wrong with it." said Rika. "You spill something, you wanna see if it smells bad." she grinned. She smelt her sleave/arm. "See?"
Danielle glared.
"Here, Rika!" said Takato cheerfully, handing her a cup of something. Henry stood nearby with a positively evil grin plastered on her face.
Rika looked at him, than at the soda. She smelt it. It was.. She grinned. "So, Danielle. What kinda soda is that on your shirt again?" she asked.
Phil walked by and shouted, "Mt Dew, baby!" and ran off.
"Ah, Mt Dew." said Rika. "So.. would you care for more?"
"Don't even think about it." said Danielle.
"Fine. I won't." said Rika, standing and dumping her soda on Danielle's head, watching it seep down her shirt.
"ACK!" shouted Danielle, tapping her head. "You f***ing bitch!" she screamed. "What the f*** is your problem?!"
"You." said Rika, grinning. "Now get outta my face. Unless you want more grape soda dripping down your pants."
Danielle, fuming, screamed in outrage and dashed off somewhere. Rika and the whole crew, howling with laughter.
"What did we miss?" asked Kenny, going back and forth between the hysterical people near the bleachers.
"Surely you saw my wonderful performance?" asked Phil, coming over and throwing an arm around Kenny's shoulders.
"If you mean the quacks, it wasn't just your performance, my friend." replied Kenny.
"No, no no! I mean the dumping of Mt Dew on Spencer's shirt and such." said Phil. "Sadly, it was a waste of good ol' mt dew... Alas.. I will miss it so..."
"Riight.." replied Kenny. "Now get your arm off my shoulders, ya jackass."
Phil leaped away. "Forgive me!" he said. Then he started making donkey sounds. He wandered off somewhere, to do his mystical things. Strange, mystical things.
Toshi and Makou came over now. "I think we have finished our quacking." said Toshi, sitting on the bleachers, next to Rika. A jealous look crossed Takato's face for a second, unknown to Rika.
"Hey." said Makou. "Ducks are cool. They waddle when they walk."
"Waddle rhymes with... uh.. taddle." said Faye.
"Taddle?" asked Rika.
Faye shrugged. "Couldn't think of anything so I just made up a word." she said. (a/n: pernounce taddle like waddle.. for the sake of the story.. *cheesy smile* hey.. i like cheese..)
"So what time is it now?" asked Rika.
Henry glanced at his watch. "It is nine twenty eight." he said. "We have approximately half an hour left before we head home."
"I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toy R Us kid.." sang/shouted Stevo, walking by them.
Momentarliy at a loss for words at the very strange outburst of song, they remained silent for a few seconds.
"Can anyone think of anymore terror?" asked Makou.
"Sorry. Fresh outta ideas." said Rika.
"I think I'm gonna go get some soda. Anyone wanna come?" asked Toshi.
"I will!" shouted Stevo, popping out of nowhere from behind Makou. He jumped and smacked his across the head.
"Idiot.." he laughed. "But yeah. I could use some more caffiene."
"Yes." said Stevo. "My sugar and caffiene level is dangerously low at the moment. NEED SODA.... NOW!!" he shouted and ran off to get some.
"I think we'd better follow.." said Toshi. "That guy is dangerous when left unattended like that." he dashed off after him, following by Kenny and Makou.
Seeing them run off, Taguya and Phil ran after them.
"Where are they going?" asked Kazu, coming over.
"To get caffiene." said Faye. "Be afraid. Be VERY afraid."
"Think I'll join em.." said Kazu, running off.
"Oh dear god." said Faye. "We have lost Kazu to the mystic ways of the looneys, Phil and Stevo. What will the preps say next?" she grinned.
"Nah, it'll be Danielle that will be the one saying stuff." said Takato. "Everyone else could care less. Except for a few... But not all preps are so bad."
"Of course you would say that." grinned Faye. "Not to long ago, you were a preppy guy. But thankfully, Rika and I have saved you from their terrifying ways."
Takato and Henry blinked as Faye went off into her own little world, laughing isanely and shaking her hands.
"Sometimes I wonder if I should get you commited, Faye." grinned Rika.
"Please don't call the men in white on me!" grinned Faye. "They've already tried to help me!! And they didn't succeed because I scared them too much! They'll never come near me again!!" she laughed.
"Ok.." said Jeri.
"Note to self- watch out for Faye Kamiyo." said Henry.
"Watch out?" asked Faye. "What? Watch out for ME?"
"You know what.." said Rika, getting an idea. "I think I sense a new plan for world domination coming up. I'll be back. Come Jeri." she said, grabbing her wrist and walking off.
"Back off Rika!" she heard Faye shout. "I AM THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD!!! HA HA HA HA!!"
"Great.." laughed Rika.
Takato caught up with them. "Umm.. whats with Faye?" he asked.
"Oh, maybe I should have warned you all." said Rika. "When Faye has any kind of highly caffinated soda, such as Mt Dew or Vanilla Coke, she goes completely insane. More than once I have seriously considered calling the men in white. Because their are times when she really freaks me out."
"Really." said Takato.
"Hell yeah!" said Rika. "One time, she went all sadistic and threatened to kill everyone." she said. "Being on a sugar high, I didn't take her seriously, but it was very scarey as she said it in a dead serious tone of voice."
"Wow.. I should warn Henry about that." he said.
"I'm confused.." said Jeri.
"Oh right!" said Rika. "Sorry bout that Jeri. We're going to leave Faye and Henry alone. Just to see what happens." she grinned.
Jeri smiled. "So you're playing matchmaker, in a way?" she asked.
Rika grinned evilly. "In a way. Don't tell anyone though." she said. "Especially not them two. They would kill us."
"My lips are sealed." grinned Jeri.
"Good." said Rika. "Lets head outside again."
The three went outside and stood in the snow once again. Except it was coming down slightly harder than before.
"Its so cold." said Takato.
"Its not so bad." shrugged Rika.
"You're crazy." said Takato.
"Nope. Faye is." she grinned.
Jeri shivered. "All that soda and this cold weather... it doesn't mix well." she said. She turned and headed inside. "I'll be right back. I have to go use the bathroom." she grinned.
"See ya!" grinned Rika. She leaned against the wall.
"This is turning out to be a very interesting night.." said Takato.
"Really?" asked Rika.
"Never in my entire life did I imagine I would go to a dance and play chicken. Then join a psychopathic conga line. Then become a random duck." he said.
Rika laughed. "See, ya never knew what you were missing!"
"Yeah." laughed Takato. "To think. I'd probably look back and think, 'Man. High school sucked. I did nothing' if you never came here."
Rika looked up, feeling her cheeks get a little warm. "What do ya mean?" she asked, refusing to look at him.
"I mean, if you never walked into the bakery that day, I probably wouldn't have met you. Well, actually I would have. In school. But we probably wouldn't have gotton to know each other so well." said Takato. "And I'd still be living a boring life, doing the same things over and over with the same people."
Rika felt her face get redder.
Takato laughed. "I mean, its a bad thing that got you to come to my school in the first place, but its a good thing that you came." he said.
Rika felt her entire face turn a deep shade of crimson. 'Thank god its dark..' she thought. 'But what the holy hell? Why is he saying all this. And even worse! WHY is my face turning RED as he says it?!?!'
"The passed couple of weeks have been some of the greatest in my entire life." said Takato. "And I know there's gonna be more to come. It seems like you, me, Henry, Faye and Jeri are like a little group of oddballs. Not caring about anything but fun."
"Yeah. Kinda.." said Rika, saying the first word she had said this entire conversation.
"I think the five of us are gonna be friends for a very long time." said Takato. He leaned against the wall. "And there's always the possibilty that two of us will get married." he grinned.
This was too much. "What?!" asked Rika.
"Stupid, I don't mean us!" laughed Takato. "I meant Faye and Henry."
'Thank you darkness.' thought Rika as her face went bright red again. "Yeah. I knew that... it was just weird." she managed to get out. Great.. it seemed as if Faye was right. She was falling for that stupid goggle headed boy.
"Yeah.. uh.." said Takato. Even he was uncompfortable now.
The silence was getting strange. It seemed like neither of them were even breathing. They didn't move. It was getting a little too tense.
"Hello, All!!"
Rika and Takato jumped in the air, terrified out of their minds. They turned to see Faye, Henry and Jeri standing there.
"I just had yet another glass of Mt Dew and I am ready to go!" said Faye as she started to prance around.
"You wanna go home?" asked Jeri.
"No!" grinned Faye. "I wanna do something!"
The three looked at Takato and Rika. "Did we interupt something?" asked Henry.
"Why would you say that?" asked Takato. "Let get inside. It is CoLd out here!" he said, heading towards the door. Henry followed, as did Jeri.
Rika looked up. Soft, light snow... it wasn't so cold out, was it? "Do we have to go inside?" she asked.
Faye looked at her watch. "Its almost over. Lets get inside." she said, grabbing her friend's arm. "We don't have much time yet anyway so we'll be walking home in this."
"True." grinned Rika.
Faye dragged her friend inside, as she(Rika) stared at the snow, falling in a lazy way towards the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I cannot believe the night is almost over!" shouted Stevo. "And I just had my tenth cup of soda! HIGHLY caffinated kind!!" he said, messing up his hair.
"Its fine, Stevo." said Toshi. "There will be more dances and more chances to terrorize. As it is listed under your hobbies."
"But of course." grinned Stevo.
"Besides, no one says you can't cause chaos during school." grinned Rika.
Stevo froze for a second. He seemed to be thinking about something. "Hey! You're right! I AM SAVED!!" he said and ran off somewhere.
"Thanks Rika." said Toshi. "Now we have to watch out for him causing mass destruction during school, instead of just out of school."
Rika shrugged. "Setting insane maniacs lose on the school is listed under my hobbies." she grinned. "And Faye is listed under those insane maniacs."
"Hey!" said Faye. (a/n: that rhymes...)
"Well its true." said Rika. "You do suffer from insanity, Faye, at times."
"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it." grinned Faye.
"If you say so, Faye." said Henry.
"Hey ya'll!" shouted the DJ. "We only got a few minutes left, so we're gonna play some really wile music! Get ready people!" he shouted. People cheered. Rika gagged.
A horrible, horrible rap song began to play and a very loud scream of pain/agony from somewhere in the gym that be heard above everything else was given off by Stevo.
"I feel like skipping and spinning." said Faye. She got up and skipped over to the emptier part of the gym. Reaching it, she began to whirl around in circles.
"Dude.." said Toshi, watching her. "Is that girl on drugs?"
"No." said Rika. "Its just caffiene and such. The same thing happens to her, that happens to Stevo and Phil." she explained.
"Oh I see." replied Toshi. "Maybe we should all go spin around. Ya know, as the last thing of the night." he said.
"Sure!" said Taguya, linking arms with Toshi and skipping over towards Faye. Kenny and Makou were not far behind.
Stevo came out of no where and rammed into Faye. Then instead of spinning around like the others, he jumped in the air and spun. Humming a strange song.
Rika skipped over there next. Behind her she could here Takato, Henry and Kazu not to far from her. Also skipping.
Phil came skipping passed her and stuck out his toungue. "Ha! I will beat you there!"
"I think not!" said Rika, skipping faster.
They raced over and Rika crashed into Faye and they both fell to the ground, laughing hysterically. Phil kept on running and crashed into the wall.
Pretty soon, they were all spinning around in circles, getting more dizzy.
"Last one standing wins!" shouted Faye.
"Wins what?" asked Stevo.
"A bottle of Mt Dew!" shouted Faye. "From.. uh, the second to last person to stop spinning!" she laughed.
"Your on!" shouted Phil.
And so, they began to spin around nonstop. Jeri was the first to stop, followed by Kenny. Jeri sat on the ground with her eyes closed, trying to get rid of the diziness.
Kenny stood up, but he was swaying back and forth. He was joined a few moments later by Taguya, who also swayed back and forth.
"I give up!" laughed Toshi. He walked over to the wall, like he was drunk and leaned against it, sinking to the floor.
Rika, Faye, Takato, Henry, Kazu, Phil, Stevo and Makou remained. Makou crashed into Henry and they fell to the ground.
"Ha!" shouted Faye. "You're out!" she laughed menacingly.
The two walked over in a drunken fashion and sat on the ground next to Toshi. In a few minutes, Kazu had somehow ended up crashing into the wall and falling down. Unable to spin any longer. Takato dropped out soon after him.
Now only four remained, and three of them were determined to get that Mt Dew. The fourth was just there to disapoint the rest by getting it for herself.
Pretty soon, Rika could barely seen anything she was so dizzy. Yet she heard Faye still cackling and Phil and Stevo still.. umm .. doing whatever it was they were doing.
"Waaahhh!!" screamed Phil. He could no longer stand and he fell over. "Why is the ceiling moving around so quickly?!?!" he demanded. He attempted to stand but couldn't do so. He walked a few feet and crashed- into Stevo. They both fell down.
"NO!" shouted Stevo. "I have lost! *@.@*" he wailed. He stood up and walked around. He couldn't tell up from down, left from right and he was running into things and people. Then eventually, he toppled over and lay flat on his back. If possible as in anime, his eyes would be swirly. But we shall just put these in instead: @.@
"I will win Rika!" shouted Faye. "On a sugar high, I can stay up for hours, as you should know!" she declared.
By now, Rika was getting too confused and dizzy. She could barely stand up anymore. "Ok, Faye Kamiyo! I give up!" she shouted and fell over.
"ALAS!!" shouted Faye. "I have WON THE MT DEW!"
Rika managed to look over at her friend, and saw that she was still spinning. "You can stop now! Faye! You won!" she shouted.
"I can keep on going!" she replied.
"You're making me dizzy!" shouted Rika back at her. "STOP!"
Faye stopped. She stood perfectly straight. Not even a hint of dizziness, or swaying. She walked over to Rika and squatted down. "You owe me a bottle of Mt Dew." she said in a dead serious kind of tone. "If I do not find an unopened, higly caffinated bottle of Mt Dew sitting on my bed when I return from Hong Kong, you will face the rath of me. I will cause mass destruction upon your-"
"Geez Faye." laughed Rika, the dizziness going away. "There will be Mt Dew on your bed when you get back. I swear." she said.
"There had better be." said Faye, narrow eyes.
Ok.. there were times when Faye was hilarious when she was on a sugar high.. but then there were times when she scared the fricking crap outta you. And this was one of those times.
"I am going to get one final cup of soda." said Faye, standing. "Stay." she declared and walked away.
Takato and Henry came over, with Jeri right behind. They sat next to Rika.
"You're right." said Takato, watching Faye leave. "She can be very scarey at times. Was this what it was like when she was threatening to kill?" he asked.
Rika shuddered, remembering it all too well. She hadn't slept that night. "No. That was worse." she said.
The three blinked.
"It was at my house. It was dark. She had a pair of scissors in her hand. She was threatening to kill." said Rika. "Adding all these together.. you try not to be afraid."
The three all shuddered at the same time.
"Why did she have scissors in her hand?" asked Henry.
"She was cutting up construction paper into tiny little pieces." replied Rika.
"Why?" asked Jeri.
"I have no idea." said Rika.
They sat in silence, awaiting Faye's return. When she finally came back, she was back into her humorous mode. To the relief of Rika.
"Time to go home!" said Faye. She held out her hand and helped Rika to her feet. "Lets go get our coats." she said.
Takato, Henry and Jeri stood up and followed.
"See ya Tuesday!" said Faye, waving to the skaters. All but two waved good bye back. As the two(Phil and Stevo) were still on the ground.
The five went to the lockers and got out their coats. Pulling them on, they headed towards the doors.
"So Rika," said Takato. "Are you glad we came?" he asked.
"Yeah." grinned Rika. "It was fun."
"Yes indeed!" grinned Faye. She was half skipping/half walking.
"Faye.." started Rika.
"Yes?"
"Exactly how many cups of Mt Dew and such did you have tonight?" asked Rika.
"I lost count after fifteen." came the reply.
Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri would now make a face something like this, if it were animated: O.o
"And now.." said Faye. "I am driving to the airport. A three hour drive." she said. "Not fun. I can't do anything! I'm stuck in the back of a moving vehicle! I NEED FREEDOM!"
"Chill Faye you're not even in the car yet. You're not even home." said Rika.
Faye looked around. "Oh yes." she said.
Rika shook her head. "I think you should lay off the moutain dew a tad bit, my friend."
"Lay off the Mt Dew?!?!" asked Faye. She whirled around and grabbed Rika by her collar. "Have you gone mad, Rika?!" she shouted.
"I'm kidding.. I'm kidding.." said Rika.
"Good." said Faye. She let go and continued to walk.
Takato went up to Rika. "I'd hate to live with her. I bet her parents go nuts." he said in a low voice.
"Oh, well they're used to it by now." said Rika. "They have an immunity towards it. I think I should be getting used to it soon too.." she grinned.
"Well guys, here's my house." said Jeri. She stopped and went up to the door. "See you." she grinned.
"So long, Jeri!" said Rika.
"Beware of the dust bunnies!" shouted Faye.
"Ok.." said Jeri. She waved and went inside her house.
"Wish I was home now." said Takato. "That girl up there is really starting to scare me."
"Get used to it." said Rika.
They walked a little more, and Faye began to sing songs out loud. And oddly enough they rhymed. It was poetic. And some verses were terrifying at times.
"Yeah well, I gotta turn down here." said Henry, nodding towards the street.
"I'll go with him." said Takato. "My house isn't too far, so I'll just go this way." he said. Apparently, the two were getting disturbed by Faye.
"Don't be afraid!" said Faye. "We're all gonna die someday!"
Rika rolled her eyes. Takato and Henry stared.
"Just go." laughed Rika. "And don't take her seriously. I think I'll warn her parents about this. See ya around." she grinned.
"See ya." said Takato. The two guys walked down the street.
Rika and Faye continued towards Faye's house. Rika stared up at the sky, ignoring the nonsense things that Faye was telling herself. It was still snowing out.
After a while, they reached the Kamiyo household and Rika went inside for a second. As Faye raced off to use the bathroom, Rika warned her parents of Faye's condition.
"Thanks Rika." said Mrs. Kamiyo. "I think we'll take some duct tape with us."
"Take a picture." laughed Rika. "Well, I should head home now." she said.
"All right. Take care." said Mr. Kamiyo.
"You two." said Rika. She headed for the door and heard Faye dash out fo the bathroom, laughing hysterically.
"You thought you could leave without saying good bye, did ya?" she said evilly, jumping in front of Rika.
"Actually, I knew you would come and stop me." grinned Rika. "So I will say, see ya when I see ya." she said.
"Good bye!" grinned Faye. Then it disapeared. "And do not forget the Dew."
"I won't." said Rika. "Bye."
Rika left the house, to hear Faye continue in her hysterical laughter.
"Damn.." said Rika. "That girl really scares me sometimes."
Rika walked towards her house, in the snow and crossed her arms. It was a fun night. It was a good thing her friends had convinced her to come along with them.
"Think of what I woulda missed out on if I didn't go." she grinned.
She turned the corner to her house and stopped outside the gate and froze.
"What the hell?" she asked.
The gate was open. Wide open. This was weird. It was very unlike her mother and grandmother to leave it like this.
She stuck her head in and looked inside. She couldn't see any lighs on. "Strange.." she said. If they had gone somewhere, they would have called her. Or told Faye's parents. Or something. She went in and looked around on the lawn.
She could see the whole house and there was no lights on at all. It was like they lost the power. "Yeah!" she said. "Thats it. The power went out."
But it still didn't explain the gate.
Rika shook her head. "I'll just go find them." she said.
She headed for the part of the porch around her house that let her get up on the porch. She went up and walked towards the kitchen. She went over and put her ear against the door. She opened it and looked inside. She flipped on the light switch and saw dishes in the sink and a towel on the floor. She narrowed her eyes. Weird...
She left the kitchen and cautiously walked towards the living room. She put her ear against the door and heard some weird noises. She flung open the door and flipped on the light.
"WHAT?!" she screamed. She ran over to her mother who looked terrified. She sat on the couch with duct tape on her mouth. Rumiko shook her head furiously, as though telling Rika to get away.
Rika dashed over and pulled off the duct tape. "Mom!" she said.
"Rika!" she shouted. "GET OUT!"
Rika cocked her head. "What are you-" she didn't finish her sentance, as the lights went out. She heard a step near the door.
"Hello.... Rika..."
Rika's eyes widened. She turned slowly. She saw a sillouette standing in the door way, against the moon light and snow.
"Rika..." said the sillouette. "Daddy's home...."
