A/N: The wait is over.

(11/03/10)

Same day…

Professor Peter went up to me, "Chap, there's been some sort of problem… apparently, we can only have one even, either swimsuit or lingerie attire. What's your call?"

"Swimsuit. No doubt about it."

"Alright." He said.

I was given a Judge's sash by Ms. Toriumi.

"Go and call the girls." She said absentmindedly.

"Sure thing…"

"Go now." She said.

"Um… Ms. Toriumi?"

"Yes?"

"How are things going between you and Lee?"

She looked somber.

"I called things off… teachers and students are like water and oil… it'd never last…" she said sadly, "I really don't want to talk about it."

"I… see."

I walked over to the girls room.

"Knock knock? Can the honorary judge enter?" I said.

"We're still changing!" Minako hissed from inside.

"Okay, I just wanted to tell you guys that the pageant begins in a few minutes!" I said.

"Thank you!" Yukari shouted from inside.

"Sure, just don't be late." I said, then left.

Minako POV

"How the hell do I get THIS on?" I said as I tried to put on a lacy corset.

"Here, let me try…" Rio said.

She yanked the strings tightly and tied them together.

"OOOOPH!" I groaned, "It's…too… tight!"

"It's supposed to be tight." Rio said.

"I feel like a pack of toothpaste being squeezed out from the middle!" I exclaimed.

"Ya know, you don't HAVE to wear it." Yukari said.

"Well, then, I won't." I said, "Help me take this off, please."

Fuuka, Yukari and Rio helped me off the suit.

"Do you think this shirt would compliment my eyes?" Fuuka asked, "I'd like to make a good impression on the judges."

"It would! Dude, that shirt looks awesome!" Minako said.

"And I have a feeling that it's not only the judges that you want to make a good impression on." Rio said, with a sidelong look at Fuuka.

Fuuka just blushed.

"Man! How does this look for the swimsuit part?" A very pinky voice said.

"Pinky-chan! What is THAT?!" Yukari cried.

Pinky was wearing a polka-dot patterned swimsuit that looked too sexy on her.

"Damn… that's too sexy for my blood…" I said, wiping the blood off my nose.

"Uh… I think you should change your swimwear… you look so good, that you might actually be disqualified." Rio said.

"Hmph! You guys are so mean!" Pinky said exasperatedly.

A resonating snicker echoed from across the room.

Michonne sneered at us along with Yo.

"Vos tentatives pathétiques vous mènera nulle part." Michonne sniggered, "Pathetic attempts shall get you nowhere."

I stepped forward, shaking my fist.

"Aw, what do you know, Frenchie?" I said hotly.

"Beaucoup, merci." Michonne said, "A lot more than you do."

"You piece-sa shit!" I snarled.

"Pourquoi?" Michonne said, "Why do you try to fight us?"

"Haha, why don't you losers just quit?" Yo said.

"Shut up, Yo." Pinky snarled.

"Ah, ze charlatan supreme speaks!" Michonne said pompously.

"A charla- what?" I said.

"My name is Pinky Lee, not Charlotte Tan!" Pinky huffed indignantly.

"Ahahaha! Vous êtes un imbecile." Michonne laughed snidely.

"Are you scared of us? You're free to quit, you know!" Yo said.

"What, you think we're a bunch of fucking worms like you?" I snarled as she advanced, then Rio and the rest of the girls restrained me.

"I bury you cockroaches!" I snarled.

We bickered for a few minutes.

Minato POV

I loitered at the judges table for a while.

The program was about to start in a few minutes and the girls were nowhere to be found.

Ms. Toriumi strode to me.

"Minato-kun, you better find those girls and bring them here or your ass is grass and I'm a lawn mower. Capiche?"

"Olo."

I went to the dressing room.

"What's taking you guys so long?"

The room was in total bedlam.

Minako was choking Michonne and threatening to slit her throat with a pair of scissors as Pinky, Fuuka, Yukari, Rio and Yo tried to pry her away.

"What's going on here?!" I said as I pried Michonne away.

Under different circumstances, it would have been hilarious to see all the girls pry the 5'4 inch tall, medium framed Minako and only me prying away the 5'6, slim and fit French Michonne away from Minako.

But now, it wasn't funny at all. Michonne was crazy strong. Her vogue, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair swished and whipped my face as she wrapped my neck in a headlock.

Minako's eyes flared with angry hate as her fiery red hair swirled with the wind coming from an open window.

"Alright! That's enough you two!" I cried as I pulled them away.

Michonne looked at me as if I was a treat for her.

"Mmmm… good day, Monsieur Arisato... you're looking very…délicieux today." Michonne fawned.

"Uh… thanks?" I said, "Are you girls ready to go now? Miss Toriumi's going to bust a vein in her forehead if you guys aren't ready…"

"Taisez-vous, beau gosse…" Michonne chided in French, "Pretty boys must learn to hold zheir tongue."

Yo stood in the back sniggering stupidly as Michonne circled me like a vulture.

"Lean… tall… not too thin… bleu-gris eyes… hanzome… and…" she roughly grabs my buttocks as I yelp instinctively, "Buttocks are très doux."

"Hey!" Yukari cried.

"Hey!" Rio cried.

"Hey!" Pinky cried.

"What the fuck?!" Minako cried.

Michonne ignored them as she circled me, her alabaster skin, strawberry blonde hair and distinctly green eyes made her seem like a snow-princess from a faraway land as she went close enough to whisper to me.

"If you let me win ze pageant, I will satisfy your désirs érotiques…" she whispered so sensuously, that I had goosebumps,"Je vous laisse le mettre n'importe où…"

I knew quite enough French to know what she was talking about.

Taking cue from Yukari's bewildered expression and Minako's look of pure hatred at Michonne, I gently push Michonne away.

"Sorry Michonne, that might work on Lee or Junpei, but as a judge, I have to be impartial and turn down bribes, no matter how… sweet they sound."

Michonne crossed her arms indignantly and began to curse in French, "Putain tout… Je vais gagner ce concours par moi-même!", then she turned and looked me straight in the eye, "Après cela, tu seras mienne… You will be mine, Minato."

She then closed her eyes and smiled, "Au revoir."

She turned away and walked off.

"Yo! Faites-vous le cul par ici!" Michonne cried from outside as Yo winced.

"Tam biet." Yo winked at us, "Bye losers! Michonne just told me to get my ass over there."

After they left…

"Damn bitches…" Minako muttered.

"What was the language she was using?" Rio asked.

"Witch Speech!" Minako said spookily.

"What?" Rio said.

"French."

"*sigh* it seems like I'm the only one here who doesn't know how to speak any other languages…" Fuuka said.

"Nai, to xero sosta?" I said.

"Etiam, ego scire iure?" Minako said.

"Sì, lo so giusto?" Yukari said.

"Sim, eu sei direito?" Rio said.

"Ne, balo algo." Pinky said.

Fuuka buried her head with her hands, "Why am I the only ignorant one here…"

"Hey, chin up, we'll teach ya!" Minako said.

They then began a crash course on different languages.

"Guys, please hurry it up! Language 101 can wait!" I implored them.

"Alright, we're done, let's get this over with." Minako said as she wore her dress.

There was quite a crowd. The crowd was so big, people stacked up chairs and tables and used binoculars to watch.

I sat with the judges. The rest of the guys were behind my seat.

"Finally!" Ms. Toriumi said, "Are they ready now?"

"Kinda sorta…" I said.

Before Ms. Toriumi could say anything, the MC stepped forward.

He introduced Yo.

"That's not all for the Culture Day festival's Main Event! We still have the long awaited Miss Gekkoukan Beauty Pageant!" the MC said, "The judging begins! Do you feel the crowd going wild?!"

The crowd cheered with crazed fervor.

"From the graceful and rich land of the vogue, our very own Frenchie French, Michonne LaMonde!"

Michonne came out wearing very sexy clothes and winked at my direction that almost made my nose bleed, until I felt something wet running down my nape.

It was blood.

"Dude! You're getting nasal blood all over the back of my neck!" I said to Lee.

"S-Sorry bro… she winked at me!" Lee said, wiping his nose.

"Did not! She winked at me!" Junpei said as he shoved a tissue up his nose.

"Hell no, I know Michonne and she winked at me!" Quan said as he pinched his nose.

"She totally winked at me! I'll even hire someone to fight you for it!" Junpei said.

"Not if I hire someone first!" Lee said.

"I'm staying out of this…" Quan said as he put his hands up.

"Take this outside!" I hissed, "Minako's up next!"

"For our next contestant, a passionate girl who's attitude is as fiery as her hair, from the fourth year, class 3-D, Minako Arisato!"

Minako walked proudly to the stage and winked at us.

She was wearing her usual weekend clothes.

"Yo guys." Minako said, "My name is Minako Arisato. I'm upbeat, passionate and a hopeless romantic and my favorite food is… yoghurt." Even she didn't sound convinced.

"That's bullshit! It's Froot Loops!" Junpei cried.

Minako tensed up.

"FROOT LOOPS?! WHERE?!" Minako said hungrily.

When the crowd gave her a puzzled look, she glared at them.

"WHO SAID FROOT LOOPS?" she said.

Junpei smiled and winked as he waved at her.

Minako gave Junpei an "I'm going to cut your throat in your sleep" look.

"Thanks, Minako. For our next contestant, from the same class, Miss Yukari Takeba-san!"

Yukari came out wearing her winter clothes.

"H-Hello everyone! I'm Yukari!" Yukari said sweetly as she smiled, "I'm a bit cold and indifferent at first, but if you know me personally, I'm very sweet!" Yukari said as she smiled directly at me.

"That is a lie," Junpei said, "I know her personally for years, and she's never been sweet to me…" he muttered.

"Shhhhh! Be quiet fool! Fuuka-chan might be next." Lee said.

The crowd went nuts.

"Next up, is a very shy girl from the same class, Fuuka Yamagishi!"

"I fucking knew it!" Lee whispered excitedly.

Fuuka went up wearing a rather stylish verdant jacket as she sheepishly came up.

Contrary to what I thought, a large number of students, Lee included, cheered loudly for Fuuka.

"H-Hi…" Fuuka said nervously, "I-it's a bit hard for me to imagine being up here in this kind of thing… um… thanks?" she said, "Can I step back now?"

"Thank you Fuuka-chan!" the MC said, "Our next contestant is yet another girl from the same class, a spicy sporty girl, Rio Iwasaki!"

Rio went out wearing a sporty blouse, a silk miniskirt and a tennis visor.

"That's my girl!" Kenji cried, "HEY EVERYONE! She's my girl!"

"Yeah, yeah, we're all impressed." Lee muttered.

"Hey guys! I'm Rio!" Rio said, "I'm sporty and kind and I'm dedicated to the game and my boyfriend." Rio said.

"Hey! That's me! That's ME!" Kenji said.

"We know, we know! Settle down, man!" Lee said.

"Thank you Rio-chan!" the MC said, "Our last contestant is another girl from the same class, Pinky-chan!"

Pinky went out wearing a pink blouse over a white turtle neck and black leggings.

"Hi-hi! I'm Pinky!"

The crowd cheered, Quan louder than some, as Pinky waved her hands at them.

The girls did a few poses.

"And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for, the girls will now partake in a swimsuit competition!"

The crowd was whipped into an excited frenzy.

First out was Yo, who wore a laced two-pieced bikini.

Second was Michonne, who wore a black, one pieced swim suit which looked sensual on her.

Third was Minako, who wore spunky and stylish broad shorts and a red top.

Fourth was Yukari, who wore a familiar bikini from the Yakushima Beach Party.

Fifth was Fuuka, who wore the same outfit from last year.

Sixth was Rio, who wore a very appealing bikini, except she wore shorts rather than a bikini bottom.

Seventh was Pinky, who wore a golden bikini.

"Now, for the Q/A portion…" the MC said.

Professor Peter tapped me in the arm.

"Write your questions on a piece of paper."

With prodding and suggestive comments from Leah and Akihiko, I wrote my question.

They placed it in a jar and handed it to the MC.

He picked a question.

"Do you guys have a boyfriend or at least a love interest? If so, how did you meet?"

"We met at my old school." Yo said.

"We met at Le school." Michonne said.

"W-We met at school." Fuuka said.

"We met at the street in front of our house." Rio said.

"We met in Korea." Pinky said.

"We met in our dorm and fell in love at first sight…" Yukari said, leaving out the part when she pointed a gun at me.

"We met… on the beach, walking down at sunset and reaching out for a seashell at the same time, until our hands met." Minako said as she gave me a kind look.

I gave her a puzzled look.

"Thank you! Next question…" he picks another question, "Where did you go out on a date?"

"At some burger joint." Yo said.

"At Le Rhine river." Michonne said.

"School. We shared a special soup I made." Fuuka said.

"At the Hagakure Ramen shop." Rio said.

"He took me out on a drive with his Dad's Maserati." Pinky said.

Professor Peter turned around to raise an eye brow at Quan, who suddenly took an interest in his baby seal leather boots.

"We sat down at a beach in Yakushima and talked the night away." Yukari said, reliving that fond memory in me.

"We took a stroll down the river and threw… rocks on a dilapidated and abandoned car."

Wait… we did that! Except we used a gun…

"Thank you." the MC said, "Next question, where did you have your first kiss?"

"My room." Yo said.

"At Le Eiffel Tower." Michonne said.

"Uh… We haven't kissed yet." Fuuka said as she blushed and looked Lee.

"We kissed at New Year's eve…" Rio said.

"Did we?" Kenji said quizzically, "Oh yeah… she kissed me in the cheek." Kenji said, suddenly remembering.

"We kissed inside his parent's room." Pinky said.

Professor Peter looked back on Quan again, who whistled absentmindedly.

"We kissed in the rooftop as the sun began to set." Yukari said.

Junpei and Kenji nudged me.

"We…" Minako smiled at me as if remembering a fond memory, "We kissed at a party, under the lit moonlight."

Akihiko, Quan and Junpei nudged me.

"Okay. Thank you girls…" the MC said and picked another question, "The next question is… Gasp!" he gasped as he went to us.

"Look at this question… it's a tad bit inappropriate, isn't it?" the MC said.

Mitsuru, Ms. Toriumi, Professor Peter, Akihiko and I all gasped.

Leah was absentmindedly drawing scribbles.

"That isn't at all appropriate." I said.

Then, the Professor spoke up.

"Well… we need to do it. No turning back now."

The MC nodded and went up.

"T-Take note that this question can be skipped by stepping back… it's rather… vulgar." The MC said, "Our next question is… Have you guys had… sex."

There was a collective gasp in the entire student body.

Even Lee and Junpei, two of the most pervy guys in school, gasped.

"What is he thinking?" Kenji hissed.

"What kind of question is that?" Lee said.

"He's just trying to satisfy his own perverted curiosity!" Junpei hissed.

Yo, Michonne, Fuuka, Pinky and Rio shook their heads, refusing to answer such a ridiculous question. They took a step back.

Only Yukari and Minako were left.

Strangely enough, Yukari smiled.

"We… we had a magical night… just one special night… January 29… I don't have any regrets doing it… with Minato-kun."

I went pale.

The crowd murmured behind me as some guys began to mutter.

"Luck bastard…"

"Man… I'd give anything to be Minato…"

"He's got all the girls… this isn't right!"

"Minako-chan?" the MC asked.

"We… we haven't done it yet!" Minako said boldly, "But I'm looking forward to doing it with the right guy!" she winked at me.

"Okay. That's all for the Q/A portion! Judges will now do the scoring."

I made my marks on the girl's scores.

They passed the scores along.

The MC took it and went up.

He looked at the paper and raised an eyebrow.

"What strange turnout! Our winner… or, winners are Minako Arisato and Yukari Takeba! Will the Honorary Judge kindly pin the sashes?"

I went up and pinned it at them.

"Ow! That was my skin, you idiot!" Minako said as I pricked her with the pin.

"Sorry!"

They took our picture.

"This is my dream." Yukari whispered.

"Congrats."

"I've been dreaming of this day…"

"Congrats."

"There you go! Our first winners of the program!" the MC said, "Our program has ended, folks!"

The crowd cheered wildly.

"Everyone has to stay and clean up." Mitsuru said.

"AWWWWW!" the crowd said dejectedly.

The guys and I began cleaning the room.

Quan talked to me.

"Hey… is it true that you and Yukari-chan did it?"

"Yeah…" I said.

"C-can you help me with Pinky?"

"Uh… sure."

Junpei walked to me.

"You guy! Did you really do it?"

"Yep." I said.

"Awesome!" Junpei said, "You still remember, huh?"

"I remembered that time because I had to do a condom run because I'd finished Mitsuru's S-link the day before, so I ran out of 'protection'." I said.

"An S-what?" Quan said.

"Nevermind."

It was fast approaching nightfall and everyone gathered.

"What do we do? It's nearing nightfall and they said there might be a thunderstorm…" Yukari said.

As if to confirm that, it started to drizzle and a thunder boomed.

"Well, how about we stay over at our place?" I said, "It's nearby and we can all fit there."

"Really?" they said.

"Really. There's a place that can hold all of us together." I said.

"Wait…"

All of them called their parents and got the ok.

"Great. Let's go!" Quan said, "What's the place called?"

I smiled and looked at Minako.

"It's called Narda."

A/N: Done! Everyone, please take a few moments to leave a review!
