Chapter 2: You Have A Visitor
"Detention?" Namine's mom asked as Namine walked into the house.
"Yeah. Fight during P.E." Namine explained. Her mom's eyes got big.
"You were in a fight?" her mom asked.
"Me? Nooo. These three girls were in it. I got hit and I said shit. I got detention for "language"." Namine explained.
"Oh. Well, good. Because I wouldn't want you in fights on your first day."
"Yeah." Namine nodded, grabbed a soda from the fridge and headed up to her room. Later that night her mom came in and went to her closet. She grabbed a green shrug.
"Ohh, hot date? Let me guess, drummer?" Namine asked.
"Nope. Doctor. Well, veterinarian…assistant." Her mom said.
"So you're dating a pet nurse." Namine said.
"Yupp." Her mom said heading out of the room and down the hallway. "And you have got a visitor." Her mom yelled down the hall.
"What?" Namine murmured getting off her bed and walking downstairs.
"Have fun you two." Her mom said walking out the door and getting into a car.
"Hi. You're Namine, right?"
"Yeah."
"Rikku." Rikku said sticking her hand out to shake. Namine shook it.
"Umm, not to be rude. But why are you here?" Namine asked.
"Well-"just then the doorbell rang.
"One sec." Namine said getting up and walking to the door. She opened it to reveal Selphie.
"I wanna help bring down you know who." Selphie said letting herself in.
"Umm-"Namine said closing the door only to have a foot stop it.
"Normally I'd oppose to the slaughter of animals, but in Riku Davis' case, I'll make an exception." Kairi said walking in.
"But I don't even know him." Namine said.
"So? You don't know anybody. You're like the Swiss, you're neutered." Kairi said.
"Umm, it's neutral. Namine, if the three of us tried this alone we would kill each other. You brought us here. You showed us that we all have one common bond." Rikku said.
"Exactly. We all want to kill Riku Davis." Selphie said.
"Wow. O-ok."
The four girls were walking through the learning center and to the production room.
"A learning center. Who knew we had this?" Kairi said.
"Look at him walking around like he owns the place!" Selphie said looking down at the school and seeing Riku high-fiving all the guys and looking at all the girls.
"He does." Kairi said.
"Not for long." Rikku said smiling. "This way. Don't touch anything." She said as they entered the production room.
"You spend waay too much time in after school activities." Selphie said to Rikku.
"Thank you. Kairi can you get the lights?" Rikku asked. Kairi started looking for a light switch. "It's the remote labeled lights!" Rikku said. Kairi found the remote and pressed a button. The lights immediately went down.
"Ok. Here we go, ladies." Rikku said turning on the projector. A picture of Riku appeared on the screen. "Ok, Namine. Do your thing."
"Right, my thing. Ok, so what drew you to Riku?" Namine asked.
"I like where you're going with this. What is it that makes Riku so irresistible? Is it those eyes, that hair, or that perfect tan. Dig deep, girls." Rikku said.
"It's everything. The way he smiles, the way his whole body tightens around you when-"Kairi started.
"We all know what happens when boys get happy." Selphie said.
"Not. What I meant." Kairi snapped.
"Girls! Save it for Riku. We need to figure out something." Rikku said.
"Well, in cheer we usually undermine the other team by making them feel stupid and small." Selphie said.
"I don't think this is a case for U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi-"Kairi started.
"Shut up!" Selphie snarled.
"No, wait. As much as I hate to admit this, you've got a point, Selphie." Rikku said.
"Yeah, Riku's game is always having a date. So to get back at a guy like him, we make him undatable." Namine said. Rikku typed in undatable in big letters across the screen and hit a button. The whole picture of Riku shattered and fell to the bottom of the screen.
"Hey girls, I've got an idea." Kairi said smiling.
"Ok, Riku. You're gonna do great. Gavin has done all my pictures since I was in 5th grade. You're in good hands." Kairi said fixing Riku's hair. There were a bunch of lights and cameras around. Kairi stepped back and out of frame. Many shots were taken and then they were finally done. Riku and Kairi were walking out of the studio hand in hand."So what was that whole thing for again?" Riku asked brushing back Kairi's bangs.
"Just for the latest magazines and commercials." Kairi said smiling.
"I see. Well, Kai, thanks." He said kissing her. He wanted to make it passionate, but Kairi shortened the kiss. "Something wrong?" he asked as she pulled away quickly.
"Just didn't want to ruin the moment. This isn't really the place for a passionate kiss." Kairi lied. The real reason she pulled back was because she couldn't stand to have her lips on his after what he'd done.
A few weeks past and Riku had taken a girl name Holly to the movies. Of course, Namine, Kairi, Selphie, and Rikku followed along. The four sat up in the balcony as not to be seen by Riku. Riku and Holly sat down and one of the pictures that Riku had taken showed up on the screen. The words by it read "Just a cute face?"
"Oh, isn't that you?" Holly asked pointing to the screen.
"Yeah, I do some part time male modeling." Riku said.
"Oh, cool." Holly said passing the soda to him for a sip. Then the screen changed. Riku's face was, well weird and the words read "Or the face of Genital Herpes?"
"Oh my God!" Holly gasped. Riku looked up at the screen. New words appeared. "Herpes is NOT a cute thing. I know, I have it." Holly pulled the straw out of her mouth. "Y-y-you-"
"What? No, that's not right." Riku said.
"Get away from me!" Holly screamed jumping out of her seat and pushing past Riku. She ran up the theater and out the doors.
"Holly, that's not true! I only model as a guy with herpes!" Riku yelled after her.
"Hey, that's him! That's the guy with herpes!" someone shouted. The four up in the balcony started cracking up.
"No, that is not true!" Riku yelled pointing at the screen. Kairi grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it at him. This caused more people to do the same and popcorn was flying from all directions at Riku. He quickly got up and ran up the aisle.
"Going to the free clinic, Davis?" someone yelled throwing popcorn as he reached the doors.
Rule one in warfare: Never underestimate your opponent.
An assembly had been called in order of Riku. The government was giving him an award.
"Now I don't personally suffer from an STD. But 1 in 5 young adults does. And I am proud to give my voice to the silent." Riku said holding up a plaque. Everyone stood and cheered for Riku. And he was back on top. Just. Like. That. After school the four went back to Namine's house.
"I just don't get it. What are we missing?" Rikku asked out loud.
"My social life." Selphie said throwing herself into a chair in the kitchen. Namine got sodas from the fridge and passed them around to the girls. Just then Namine's mom got home with groceries.
"Oh hey, Ms. Andrews." Kairi greeted.
"Hey girls. What are you up to?" Namine's mom asked.
"Destroying a man." Rikku said.
"Ooh, who do I make my check out to?" Ms. Andrews asked.
"This guy is unstoppable. We give him herpes, they give him an award." Rikku said turning her computer towards Namine's mom. Namine's mom gave Namine a look.
"Not real Herpes, Mom! Fake Herpes. It's this whole reputation thing." Namine explained.
"Oh yeah. The whole fake Herpes reputation thing." Namine's mom said.
"Yeah. Look, Mom, I'll unload the groceries-" Namine started.
"Alright. I can take a hint. Play nice, girls." Namine's mom said taking her soda. After she left the room Kairi turned to Namine.
"Your mom is so hott!" Kairi said.
"Eh, she does yogalates." Namine said. She glanced over at Rikku. "Hey Rikku, what are you always typing on there?" she asked.
"Oh, normal things. Lists. I have To Do List, my Goals List, my Observations List, and my Notations, which are different than Observations. You know, normal things." Rikku explained.
"Yeah, "normal"." Selphie said.
"Well at least I'm not medicated." Rikku said turning to Selphie who was holding a pill bottle.
"Hey, this is a natural beauty supplement." Selphie said defensively.
"What are you taking?" Kairi said walking over and grabbing the bottle. She turned it around and read it. "Estrogen? Selphie, they torture horses for this. It's made from their pee!" Kairi said.
"Peeing is not torture. Menopause is." Selphie said. Kairi gave her a look. "Look, I stole it from my mom. Guys take steroids to get pecks. I just wanna go up a cup size." Selphie said.
"I don't think it works like that. It stops your natural hormone production." Namine said.
"Yeah, and when you run out, you're gonna grow a mustache and a penis." Kairi said.
"Eww, seriously?" Selphie said throwing the bottle, but Rikku caught it and put in on the counter.
"But back to Riku, you guys. We need one major hit that will totally crush his whole macho thing." Rikku said.
"Yeah, we need him to know what it feels like to be us. To be afraid." Kairi said.
"And what's more terrifying to a guy than not being manly." Namine said holding up the Estrogen bottle smiling devilishly.
