Well, it's been a while. The previous chapters are…terrible! I must get around to changing them some time. Here's another chapter anyway.
Yamato tapped his fingers on the table impatiently. He would have been saying, "Let's go to the B-Coliseum!" if Teresa hadn't effectively shut him up. All I'm saying is that it involved toilet paper…
"Oh would you stop that!" Teresa yelled as she slammed the newspaper on the table.
"What is that?" Gray asked, staring at it.
"A weapon… very handy. You should get one!" she replied as she rolled it up.
"Is it like the toilet paper?" Yamato asked, sidling away.
"I wouldn't get too close to Bull." She warned, ignoring his question. "He might want to pick your pockets."
Bull glared at Teresa in a filthy manner as Yamato sidled back to where he was originally sitting. Teresa poked her tongue at Bull in return.
"Can we go now? Pleaaaaase?" Yamato begged. He looked very excitable.
"Oh fine then. Don't wet yourself, geeze." She gave in, rolling her eyes. She had actually wanted to rest today, but Yamato was far too energetic for that.
"HUZZAH!" he yelled before sprinting out of the door.
Mei yelled something about not being too noisy, but the message was lost considering she'd made more noise than he had.
Later…"Woah!" Yamato commented as they entered the B-Coliseum. "This place is awesome!"
"It's not causing me any fear." Teresa sniffed.
Gray, Bull and Yamato turned to her questioningly, "Huh?" they all asked.
"The dictionary definition of awesome is to cause fear-" she got a lot of blank looks again. "Oh never mind!"
"Hey look! I wanna plat THAT!" Yamato exclaimed before running off.
"Uh, yeah, see ya…" Teresa muttered as she reluctantly followed his retreating back.
"Yeah! Strike!" she heard Yamato cheer noisily a few seconds later. She saw that Yamato had chosen to play a game involving pins… and he'd knocked them all over in one shot.
"How on earth did you do that?" Teresa demanded, "It isn't fair!"
"That isn't how you play this game!" Gray explained as though they were stupid.
"I know!" Teresa yelled so loudly a few people briefly looked around at them. "But he got them all… in one shot! I've never been able to do that…" she moaned in defeat.
Gray tried to suppress his sudden urge to laugh.
"Shut up you!" she exclaimed, elbowing him in the gut before you could blink.
"Ow…" he gasped as the breath was knocked out of him. He doubled over, trying to breathe again.
"Ouch." Yamato sympathized.
"Anyway, this is… What's this game called again Gray?" she asked his twitching form.
He muttered something indecipherable from the floor.
"Pardon? What was that?" she asked in a mocking tone.
Gray grumbled angrily and stumbled back to his feet.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter. The point is that you get ten shots and you have to shoot them as fast as you can WITHOUT hitting the pins. You can't knock them over!"
"Yeah." Gray agreed, "Like this." Despite his recent injury, he managed to get a perfect score.
"Something like that." She muttered in response.
"Just because last time you did it you blew perfect holes into the other end of the table, doesn't mean everyone can." Gray said, trying not to feed her ego. "We don't all have a stolen Crimson Soldier."
"Shush! Someone will hear!" She scolded, looking around in paranoia.
"Stolen?" Yamato asked, distrust coming into his eyes.
"Well, more like borrowed…" she tried to explain away.
Meanwhile…"It is her!" an enraged Obaba exclaimed as he looked into the giant purple 'looking thing'. "The traitor!" he elaborated.
"Oh! It is too!" Wen exclaimed as though he'd only just realized… which he had.
"Go and apprehend her, both of you!" he exclaimed in response.
Once Wen and Li had both left, Obaba face palmed quietly. "Moron…"
Anyway…"You know what this means, right?" Teresa hissed under her breath at Gray.
"What's going on?" Yamato asked, looking over his shoulder at her.
"Well I'm sorry! I didn't realize they were still watching!" Gray hissed in return, pretty much ignoring Yamato.
"Well…! Now he's going to send Li and Wen. He knows I can't beat them!" She replied.
It was at this point in time that the one that would be known as 'bird brain' walked in. He, of course was also a member of the Shadow Alliance.
"Oh great! Just GREAT!" she exclaimed in annoyance, bashing her head on the closest thing. This thing just so happened to be the area between Gray's shoulder blades.
"Ow! That hurt!" he complained.
"Tell me about it." She replied as she rubbed her forehead. "You, Yamato, fight that idiot. It'll give us more time to think of a plan."
"Wha-?" Yamato asked, perplexed.
"Just do it." Gray encouraged, "Before she gets angry!"
"O…kay…?" Yamato replied as he walked off.
"Some guardian…" Teresa remarked as she and Gray walked to an area resembling a locker room. "I can't even look after myself let alone Yamato!" She sat down heavily on a nearby bench.
Gray sat next to her and began saying, "At least-" But 'Bird Brain' and Wen and Li interrupted him.
"We have come for you!" They said in perfect synch.
Teresa snorted in response. Gray looked at her sideways. "What?" She asked, "They sound funny!"
"It's not supposed to be funny! It's supposed to be creepy!" Wen complained.
"You'll have to intimidate me in another way. I'm way too used to you two! Hey, I just used every kind of 'to' in one sentence!" she mused.
Wen and Li looked at her in a funny way. She continued to talk. "Oh! Speaking of which, I haven't seen you guys for ages!"
"Don't try to talk your way out of this. You betrayed us too." Li stated.
"What are you looking at?" Wen demanded of Bird Brain. "Don't you have a job to do?"
BB glared at Wen for his insolence but walked away without any verbal complaints.
"You'll never win!" Teresa exclaimed, shaking her fist after BB.
"I thought I recognized you when I saw you before…" Wen thought aloud.
"Well, now you know." She sighed as she walked out of the room and onto the balcony area to watch Yamato battle.
He was getting his butt kicked, but BB was taunting him once again.
"He won't give in that easily! Especially not to you!" Teresa yelled down, trying to encourage Yamato.
Everyone looked up at her. "Well you don't ALL have to turn around. Talk about nosy!"
Wen and Li, despite themselves, laughed.
She winked at Gray. "They're not really all that bad. Surely even you can see that by now?" Teresa whispered.
"They'll get into a lot of trouble if you don't stop it." He whispered back.
Teresa looked around at them. "If they don't go back, they can't be punished… or killed."
"What are you going to do? Protect them? Like you said, you can't even look after yourself." Gray pointed out harshly.
She glared at him for a very long time before pushing him off of the balcony.
His landing was okay, which just annoyed her even more.
All too quickly, Yamato had won his B-DaBattle. Which meant that Wen and Li would want to fight Teresa next.
She realized that she shouldn't have been so rash and pushed Gray. She should have asked him to be her B-DaBattling partner instead.
Guh, two and a half pages… That's a lot for me! Hope you liked it!
