Chapter 9: In Which I Don't Know What To Call This Chapter.
The day was relatively boring. Megan was discovering that she really liked talking to Haru. He liked a lot of the things that she did. Meanwhile, KT really liked challenging Kyo. And Kyo usually challenged her too. Being that Haru was in a different gade than Yuki and Kyo were, Megan wasn't able to see KT very much. They saw each other during lunch, passing time and during their last class. Their last class was an art class. To be specific, it was a drawing class. Which happened to be one of KT and Megan's favorite things to do. Tohru was going to have a little trouble in the class. She had shown Megan and KT some of her drawings. They were very impressive stick people. They would make a 5 year old extremely proud. Neither Megan nor KT had no idea how well the other Sohmas could draw. But they would find out since the Sohmas were in the same class. But Megan and KT had no idea of what was awaiting them in the class.
They all stepped through the door and loked around for an empty table so they could all sit together. They found one with one kid sitting at it but they were all able to fit. KT was sitting on the right of the kid with her back to him and was engageing Megan in a totally important conversation about Kingdom Hearts.
"The Gummy Ship can just die." Megan said voicing her opinion on the mode of transportation.
"I agree." KT conquered.
"The Gummy Ship sucks!" the kid behind KT said. KT turned around to tell the kid off when she saw who it was.
"OMG what the hell are you doing here!" she almost yelled. The Sohmas and Tohru looked at KT incredulously. Megan looked at the kid with complete shock.
"I've stepped into the 7th circle of hell!" she half laughed.
"Nice to see you too dum-dum." The kid said.
"Shut up Tony!" Megan sighed.
"Do you know him?" Yuki asked.
"Sadly yes. He went to our high school back in Minnesota. He was in our Graphic Design class and the fighting never stopped." KT explained all the while giving Tony a death glare.
"I was constantly being hit. And he's one of the zodiac." Megan said.
"Shut up you jerk!" Tony said giving Megan a slap up the head.
"Hey! Don't hit Trisha! Plus they are zodiac too." KT said as Megan rubbed her sore head. Tony didn't say anything but simply grumbled. The teacher then made his grand entrance.
"All right quiet everyone!" the teacher said. Megan and KT ignored him however and continued talking. The rest of the room quieted and turned to look at the foreign students who couldn't seem to keep the mouths closed.
"Guys? Quiet." The teacher said looking at Megan and KT. Megan and KT finally stopped talking and turned to look at the teacher. Megan fainted anime style. Megan was now on the floor with little birds circling her head. Tohru looked at the teacher.
"Should we take her to the nurse?" she asked.
"Just leaver here there." The teacher said.
"PAULSEN! What are you doin here?" KT asked incredulously. Paulsen barely spared her a glance before launching into his speech about the elements and principals of art. After about 10 minutes, Megan finally revived herself. Then it was work time and KT and Megan flagged Mr. Paulsen down.
"What are you doing here Paulsen?" KT asked.
"I moved here. Simple as that. What are you two doin here?" Paulsen asked.
"We were vacationing but then we joined this foreign exchange program. So…just think…a whole 'nother month with us. Just like the good old days." KT explained. Megan watched as she idly twirled her pencil.
"Oh god…I'm in hell." Paulsen said walking away.
"We love you too Paulsen." Megan said.
"Yeah whatever." Paulsen replied.
"How do you know Paulsen-sensei?" Tohru wondered.
"He was our Graphics teacher in high school. We basically made his class a living hell. We constantly slacked off." Megan said.
"Yeah you did." Tony said starting to draw.
"Shut up you contributed too!" KT said
"Shut up douche bag!" Tony said. Megan grabbed the pencil from his had, snapped it in half, and threw it across the room.
"Bitch." He growled getting up to fetch his now broken pencil.
"Whore!" Megan retorted.
"LANGUAGE!" Paulsen yelled. Megan then became productive (for once) and started working. The hour passed quickly and Megan spent most of the hour defending her self from Tony. He was still mad at her for what she did to him in 12th grade. It was brilliant. Megan had wrote 'I 3 You' on a piece of notebook paper and then glued it into the front of his notebook. For that, he chased her around hitting her with a metal ruler. Anyways, moving on. The hour passed quickly and the Sohmas realized that Megan and KT were very good drawers. Finally the bell rang. Megan and KT ran out faster than you could say antidisestablishmentarianism. Not before giving Tony one final slap each however.
Tohru left for work as they walked home. As the walked past the park, they noticed that various booths were being set up.
"What's goin' on?" Megan asked as she slowed down to look.
"It's a festival." Momiji said now holding onto KT's hand. Once again, KT began to ponder why Momiji liked her so much. Her educated guess was that because she would be year of the rabbit if she was in the Chinese Zodiac (How many times have I asked this? It feels very repetitive…oh well)
"A festival, eh?" Megan asked.
"We were planning on going tomorrow since tomorrow is Saturday. Do you wanna come?" Haru asked.
"Sure." Megan and KT said in unison.
"YAY!" Momiji cheered jumping up and latching himself to KT's neck. The only way that KT was gonna get him off was if she took a crowbar and tried to pry him off.
"Do you have kimonos?" Yuki asked.
"No." Megan said.
"We'll go get some though. Where do they sell kimonos around here?" KT asked.
"We'll walk you there." Haru said beginning to walk. The rest idly followed. Along the way, KT and Megan got into one of their famous debates again. This time, it was Ninjas vs. Pirates. KT was defending the ninja side while Megan was all for pirates. The guys decided to tune them out and talked about whatever guys talked about (lets not go there!).
"Here we are." Yuki said arriving at the store front.
"Kimonos "R" Us?" Megan questioned.
"How original." KT sarcastically said. With that they stepped inside. The boys also followed because Momiji needed to get a kimono also. Haru was actually a hig help because he actually had pretty good fashion sense.
"Black and red would look good on you." Haru told Megan.
"K." she replied. She began to wonder on why he would know that. She then shook her head to loose that train of thought. Kyo was actually helping KT as well. He actually picked one out for her. It was blue and had little gold fishies on it. KT began to wonder if he knew her sign or if by a freak accident, his kitty psyche was showing through. Probably the latter of the two.
"I hope you're not implying anything by having me wear this." KT said laughing. "I'm not your dinner." At this Kyo turned bright red.
"That could be taken soooo wrong!" Megan said holding a black kimono with red dragons on it up to herself. KT stomped up to Megan and gave her a rather hard slap upside the head. In the next moment, Momiji came out, modeling his kimono.
"Ta da!" he announced twirling. "Do you like it?"
"Very cool." Megan said. It actually really did look good on him. They all decided on their kimonos and checked out. KT did end up getting the kimono that Kyo picked out for her. Megan picked the black kimono with red dragons. They then made their way home.
The next morning, Megan woke up early on account of being excited for the festival. This was very odd that Megan would actually be moving this early. Being that no one was up just yet, Megan decided to wake up KT to keep her company. KT slowly woke up and followed the skipping Megan. Megan didn't know what to do with herself and she couldn't sit still so she busied herself with making breakfast for everyone.
"I wanna help!" KT said watching Megan stir pancake batter.
"NO!" Megan cried taking the pancake batter out of KT's reach.
"Hey!" KT whined.
"You're terrible at cooking. You could burn cereal if you tried." Megan explained. KT bowed her head. She knew it was true. Either way, KT didn't want to just sit around.
"The only way that you'll get it from me is if you pry if from my cold, lifeless fingers." Megan said turning on the skillit.
"Fine. I challenge you…to a duel!" KT said grabbing a long, wooden spoon and holding it infront of her, pointing it at Megan. Megan stared incredulously at her.
"Come on bring it on!" KT said jabbing Megan in the side. Megan slowly put the bowl down and grabbed her own spoon. She then got into her own defensive stance.
"On guard!" Megan said before the girls launched into an epic spoon fight.
Kyo woke up to the sound of clanging pots. He slowly got up and went to yell at whoever was making all the racket this early in the morning. He entered the kitchend and saw Megan hiding behind a chair with KT advancing towards her.
"What are you two doing?" Kyo yawned. Megan stood up quickly. She had a pot on her head for protection.
"Save me! She's trying to cook but she can't cook to save her life!" Megan said running behind Kyo and peering over his shoulder. KT was armed with a rolling pin, and was trying to get to Megan.
"Is something burning?" Kyo asked, sniffing the air. Megan gasped dramatically.
"My pancakes!" she ran and frantically flipped them. Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru now stood at the door.
"ITS OK! I saved them!" Megan half yelled waving her spatula around and flinging pancake crumbs everywhere.
"So what is there to do at a Japanese festival?" Megan asked serving everyone pancakes.
"Well, there are games, booths, food, shopping, parades…" Yuki said drifting off.
"The food is the best part." KT said shoving a forkful of food into her mouth. Megan idly tapped the pot that was still resting oh her head, with her fingernails.
"So what time are we going?" Megan asked beginning to tap The Cloud Song on her helmet.
"How about six-ish?" Shigure said. They all nodded their approval.
Nothing much was done the rest of the day. Megan was having fun running around in her kimono. Haru and Momiji came over at some point during the day. KT was in a drawing mood and sat on the couch drawing. However, Megan was hyper and would not allow this and began to bug KT like none other. This resulted in Megan getting a pillow in the face. This, however, didn't thwart Megan so she decided to perform the Barbie Girl dance in front of her.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH! My eyes!" KT said clutching her eyes and attempting to claw them out. Kyo and Yuki came in.
"What's going on?" Kyo asked.
"She's doin the Barbie Dance." KT moaned.
"What's the Barbie dance?" Yuki asked.
"Believe me, you don't wanna know." KT said going to the sink to flush her eyes out.
"Oh that's so funny I forgot how to laugh! It's not that bad." Megan replied launching into the dance.
"Stop it! You'll scar them for life!" KT yelled running up to cover Kyo's eyes. Megan ignored her and quietly sung the song. When she finished, KT stood in front of her with a glass of water in her hand. They stared at each other for a moment before KT dumped the glass on Megan's head.
"Hey! I have to wear this later!" Megan yelled as water dribbled onto her new kimono.
"Not my problem." KT said walking away to do who knows what. Megan grumbled as she stalked off to change. Kyo and Yuki looked at each other.
"Lets pretend we didn't see that dance." Yuki said.
"Agreed!" Kyo nodded. (Wow they actually agreed)
Sry it took me a bit to update. Also, sorry for the pointless-ness of this chapter. Its just kinda a filler that's gearing up for the next chapter. Yes, Tony and Paulsen are real people and they actually do act like that. And I actually did glue that piece of paper in Tony's notebook. It was awesome. The Barbie dance is truly a tragic thing. It's a shame that I still know it. Ok it might take me a bit to update cuz there is this one part in the next chapter that's causing some problems. Its completely unnecessary for the story except for comedy but I don't wanna delete it either. Basically it includes glomping but then I realized that they cant glomp w/o transforming…….ill figure it out eventually…..im determined to keep it in the story cuz I really like it… The Cloud song is also a real song. Wanna listen to it? Go to deviantart and type in Cloud Song
