A/N: Ah…sorry about the wait! This is the longest chapter I have ever written (I waffled a lot). School's approaching (Gah!) and I have sense of foreboding towards the homework this year. That aside though, introducing the latest chapter of A Date With Disaster…

We're Not Lying, Honest!

"ARGH!!!"
"Echizen," said a nervous Momoshiro, "fancy seeing you here…"
"Yes…what a coincidence…" added Oishi.
"A complete coincidence…" agreed Kawamura.
Echizen glared at his senpais. Kikumaru couldn't take it anymore.
"Wah!!! Gomen ochibi!!!"
"There is a 84.7 chance of Echizen decimating us right now."
"Only a 84.7 chance?" For some reason or other, Fuji looked disappointed.
"There is also the 15.1 probability that Echizen would drag out our deaths…"
"Oh, much better."
"…a 0.005 chance that Echizen will forgive us and a 0.015 chance that God will intervene."
Echizen smiled wryly. Not a very comforting sight.
"Now, was it ramming your eyes into the tennis balls or the other way around?"
"Ch…chotto matte kudasai!"
"Calm down ochibi!"
"We can explain!"
"Eh? We can?"
Momoshiro kicked Kaidoh's foot.
"Yes Kaidoh, we can."
Kaidoh's eyes widened. "Oh…right…"
"You see, Echizen," continued Momoshiro, "we were all innocently walking around after tennis practice today."
"In the completely opposite direction of course."
"Yeah, then we decided to go eat some ice-cream."
Kikumaru caught on.
"That's right! I wanted a red-coloured ice cream. There were so many to choose from. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, raspberry cream, strawberry, cream, cherry cream…remember Oishi?" He nudged Oishi in the ribs.
"Oh…yes…I remember..."
"Anyway," continued Kikumaru, turning to Echizen, "I didn't know which flavour to choose so I decided to taste the raspberry. But when I did, it tasted like strawberry!"
Oishi had absolutely no idea where Kikumaru was going with the story but decided to play along.
"We soon discovered that some of the ice cream had been put behind the wrong labels!"
"Hai hai! So we kindly volunteered to help put them back in the right place."
"It was grueling work," said Momoshiro dramatically. "we had to taste the ice cream, then check the labels, then taste again to make sure…"
"…then get someone else to taste it to make the decision accurate," finished Inui.
"All of a sudden Kaidoh, being the clumsy idiot that he is, dropped his tasting stick on the floor."
"Nani?! Momoshiro did it too!"
"Kaidoh's clunked down harder!"
"Momoshiro's caused a miniature earthquake!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Stop it you two!"
"Gomen Oishi-senpai."
Fuji decided to chip into the story.
"Because both Momoshiro and Kaidoh kept bickering at each other, I decided to just pick it up myself. When I bent down, I discovered several boxes which contained ASP 100s, Beretta 950s, Kahr P9s, various Glock models and Sig Sauers."
Everyone gawked at the third year senpai. How the heck does Fuji know the names of all these gun models?!
"Th…that's quite an extensive knowledge you've got there Fuji…" said Kikumaru as the teammates backed as far away from Fuji as they could without Fuji noticing.
Fuji simply smiled.
"So anyway…" said Kawamura, trying to quell the uneasy atmosphere, "it seemed as though the shopkeeper was an innocent looking civilian by day…"
"...but a secret weapons supplier to the underworld by night!" finished Kikumaru.
"However, the shopkeeper discovered that the weaponry, which was not mean to be discovered, had been discovered. It was then discovered that we were the discoverers of the previously undiscovered discoveries," said Inui.
Echizen blinked. "Huh?"
"We were found out."
"Oh."
"Luckily we had Fuji with us. He used Tsubame Gaeshi to send a scoop of ice cream under the shopkeeper's feet and made him fall."
"Yeah, so we ran out of the shop and into the nearest bus…"
"…which got hijacked by an 84 year old grandma!"
"But then Oishi stealthily distracted her with a conversation on the latest knitting designs!"
"Then we just happened to get off outside where the restaurant was."
"We were casually walking past the window…"
"…when we spotted a bomb underneath this table!"
"Eiji," whispered Oishi, "isn't that taking the story a little too far?"
"Ah gomen gomen! I got carried away!"
Echizen looked at his senpais skeptically.
"So? Where's the bomb?"
"It…er…turned out to be a misshapen black cat…"
"A black cat stuck underneath a table?"
"Er…there was a lot of gum under the table.."
Funnily enough, Echizen didn't believe a single word of his senpais' story.
"If you all don't tell me the truth you're to be hit by-"
"Sakuno!"
The team blinked and stared at Kawamura.
"Kawamura…what the heck are you talking about?"
"Sakuno is way too timid to even hit a bottle of tomato sau-"
"No no no!" exclaimed an impatient Kawamura, "Sakuno's in trouble!"
Everyone immediately turned to find Sakuno engaged in a fight with three tall rough-looking teenagers with sneers on their faces. No prizes for guessing who would win.
Echizen swore under his breath.
"Oh…shit…"
A/N: Looking back, I think it's the first time that anyone swore in this story! (I'm a saint!) Anyway, please please please review! Make me feel wanted in this…unwanting…unwanted…unwant…world… I think I should just shut up now.
