Chapter 8. Rules of the Grand Contest

What has happened so far:

Mimi and Kodina had discovered Magasa' secret candy stash… and Tommy! They began their persuit of the sugar high child but the road was paithed with kids around every corner. After a huge pile up on the 3rd floor everyone had followed Tommy down to the second floor where they came across Davis, Ken, Joe, Matt and Yolie. Finally everyone had gotten to the 1st floor where Jeal and Cody were waiting. After random people had tripped over obstacles provided by Tommy, they finally caught him in the Zen room. Jeal began making a well-deserved lunch for the children after reuniting Magasa with her precious bonsai Madame Josephine. As everyone waited for lunch it has struck them that Magasa has a few plans for her 'prisoners'!

Jeal had already started lunch. Everything had quieted down after they had found Tommy and all seemed normal till everyone remembered something Magasa had said when she first met them, thanks to Takuya.

"Magasa did say something earlier about playing around in her black playhouse" Said Matt.

"I completely forgot about what Magasa said when we first met her" Said Sora.

"I kinda don't want to know what she meant by playing around in her black playhouse" Said Davis. Jeal walked into the room.

"Magasa-chan come here for a second" She said. Magasa got up from her seat and walked into the kitchen with Jeal.

"What is it?" Magasa asked.

"You have something planned don't you?" Jeal asked. Magasa nodded.

"Yeps… after lunch we are gonna check out my black playhouse… this is gonna be fun hehe" Magasa giggled and walked out of the room. After about 15 minutes had passed Jeal walked into the room.

"Lunch is ready" Jeal said.

"Head down to the dinning room" Jeal walked back into the kitchen. Magasa lead her prisoner's to the dinning room where they sat in the seats they always sat in (A/N: if you don't know where everyone sits refer to chapter 3, I don't feel like retyping the seat arrangements and I don't think you care where everyone is sitting cause its not that important right now but just for those of you who are curious and want to know where everyone is sitting then look at the computer screen like if you were looking at the table from an airial view. On the right side of the table is (your right):

There ya go) Jeal walked into the room and put a bowl of something green and mushy infront of everyone.

"Ew…" Said Edward.

"Um… Jeal-san… what's this?" Magasa asked. Jeal looked at Magasa as she sat down in her seat.

"It's good… eat it…" She said.

"It doesn't look good" Said Edward.

"I'm not eating it till someone else eats it first and Jeal it should be you!" Magasa shouted across the table.

"Haha! I was just yanking your chain I have no idea what this is" Jeal said.

"Oh great…" Magasa banged her head on the table.

"Some one try it! Tai, Joe, Kouichi somebody!" Jeal yelled. Everyone pushed their bowls away.

"I am not touching this stuff!" Tai yelled.

"No way Jose!" Joe said.

"God you are are scardey cats! I'll try it!" Kouichi took a bite of the mushy green stuff. He stared at the bowl before getting the weirdest look on his face than falling onto the floor.

"Oh God you killed my brother!" Kouji cried. Matt grabbed his fork.

"It can't be that bad! I'll give it a try!" Matt took a huge bite of the green mushy stuff and got the same weird expression as Kouichi did then fell out of his chair.

"Matt!" Mimi rushed over to Matt and shook him.

"Jeal you killed my Matty!" Mimi started crying. Jeal looked at the green mush.

'Now I know how to kill my teachers!' Jeal thought. During all of Mimi's crying Kouichi had crawled back onto his chair.

'That stuff…. Is … GROSS!" Kouichi yelled.

"Is it that bad?" Sora asked. Kouichi nodded. Sora took a bite of the green mush and stared at the bowl. She got a weird look on her face before falling out of her seat.

"Sora!" Tai looked down at her and helped her back into her seat. Meanwhile Mimi had helped Matt up.

"I agree with Kouichi…. I have tasted a lot of gross things in my life…. But takes the freakin cake…" Matt said. Everyone looked down at Jeal. She slumped in her chair as everyone shot death glares at her.

"Kill Jeal!" T.K. yelled. And right on que everyone grabbed their bowls and chucked them down the table at Jeal.

"Ah!" Jeal got hit with about 14 bowls before she hid under the table.

"I'M SORRY!" She yelled.

"You can come out now Jeal-san" Magasa said. Jeal sat back in her chair and got pelted right in the face with Magasa's bowl of mushy stuff.

"Hey you tricked me!" She yelled. Magasa giggled.

"That's for all those times that you tricked me! Ok everyone! We are gonna have a big dinner tonight so come on and get prepared cause we are gonna go play in my black playhouse!" Magasa smiled and ran out of the kitchen. Jeal sighed and walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

"I'm gonna wash up, I'll join you shortly Magasa-chan" Jeal walked up the stairs.

"Alright come on everyone!" Magasa opened the front door and walked outside. Everyone shrugged and followed her.

"Let's see where are those.. aha! Here we go" Magasa pulled a set of keys out of her pocket and opened the door to her black playhouse.

"Here we are!" Magasa giggled and ran into her black playhouse. Everyone followed her inside.

"Come on everyone have a seat!" Everyone walked into a room that looked similar to the living room in Magasa's pink playhouse. Everyone took a seat on a large black couch that was shaped like a horseshoe. Magasa and Edward stood infront of them.

"Alright everyone! We're going to play a game!" Magasa's words were followed by loud sighs coming from the whole room.

"A game?" Davis asked. Edward and Magasa nodded.

"Yeppers! A game! I told you guys that we were gonna play around in my black playhouse! So now we're gonna!" Magasa smiled and made a peace sign with her left hand.

"But that is so mean! We just finished looking for Tommy and our feet are killing us and now you want us to play a game!" Sora questioned. Magasa smiled.

"That isnt the kind of game I'm talking about, me, Jeal-san and Ed-sama are gonna be holdin' a contest!"

"A contest?" Cody asked.

"Yeppers! A contest!" Magasa cheered.

"Hey! Why weren't we told about this!" Shaira questioned.

"Yeah so are we your little pawns too!" Yuna cried.

"I can't believe you're expecting us to play around like we're your toys or something" Kodina yelled.

"Pawns and toys are such childinsh words… I like the word 'prisoners' much better" Magasa stated.

"I am not gonna be part of your little contest!" Kodina shouted. Magasa covered her mouth and giggled.

"Dear sweet Kodina-chan… I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter! You are now all my prisoners!" Magasa began laughing evily. Everyone stared at Magasa like she were crazy.

"Anyways! I have a little machine next to me as you can see, it looks like a slot machine cept it has 4 little column thingy's instead of 3, I have entered all your names into the machines system and when I pull this lever it will spin like a slot machine, when I pull the lever again it will stop and 4 random names will pop up once those 4 names have popped up they will dissapear so that they don't pop up a second time, sadly since there is an uneven amount of people since me, Jeal-san and Ed-sama aren't gonna be playing there is gonna be one extra person who is gonna be put in a group of 5 instead of 4, once the groups have been picked I shall esplain the rules. Welps, here we go's!" Magasa pulled on the lever and the slots in the machine spun. She waited 10 seconds before pulling the lever again. The slots slowly began to stop. When they did Magasa read the names.

"Joe, J.P., Matt, and Kodina" Magasa pulled the lever again, waited 10 seconds then pulled the lever a second time. The slots stopped and she read the names.

"Sora, Takuya, Tommy and Izzy" Magasa pulled the lever, waited 10 seconds then pulled the lever again. The slots stopped and she read the names.

"Kari, Ken, Yuna, and T.K." Magasa pulled the lever, waited 10 seconds, pulled the lever again and read the names.

"Mimi, Kouichi, Tai and Kouji" Magasa pulled the lever, waited 10 seconds, pulled the lever once more and read the names.

"Davis, Zoe, Cody and Shaira… hm… that leaves Yolie out… so I guess I'll put Yolie with Davis, Zoe, Cody and Sha-chan. Okies time for the rules of my contest! One person from each group will grab a ball out of this bucket. Each color goes with a certaint door. When you find your door go inside and wait for me to hit the gong. When I do another door will unlock and you start the race. You have to get passed all the traps, and obstacles that will try to stop you from reaching the finish line, the object of the race is to get to the attic of this house. One rule for this contest is that you can not to get to the attic separately. You must get there with your entire group present, no 'he will be coming soon', or 'she's right behind me' you must all be present when you get there, I have a list of every group and if I don't see your entire party when you get passed the finish line you will automatically lose the race and the next group who get's there will win instead! I warn you, pick your color wisely because the difficulty of the rooms vary's according to the color. If a member of your party gets stuck in a trap, help them out, don't go on ahead or you will be disqualified immediately! I have camera's in all the hallways of the paths you will be walking and I will be judging you on your performance and team work, I'm gonna be judging you on how much you pay attention and how long it takes you to get out of a trap. This game will separate the wooses from the brave people and will also test your endurance, determination and your bravery!" Everyone was silent. Crickets were chirping in the background, other than that it was so quiet you could hear a needle drop.

"Um.. we should start now Usagi-chan" Edward said.

"Um… right! So uh let's start! Everyone from each group come up and take a ball, one at a time!"

"I guess I'll go up" Tai said as he got up and walked over to the bucket that was next to Magasa. Tai looked at all the different color balls and finally settled on one.

"I think I'll take the orange ball" he said. Magasa examined the orange ball.

"Looks like the room you got is'nt really hard but it's not really easy, it's semi hard, next!" Matt stood up and walked over to the bucket. He lookd through the balls and grabbed one.

"I'll take purple" Magasa took a closer look at the ball.

"You guy's got a nice door, not very difficult, next!" Shaira walked over to the bucket and grabbed a ball.

"Green is for me!" Magasa looked at the ball and shook her head.

"Man I wish you guy's luck, next!" Yuna walked up to the bucket and grabbed a ball.

"I think yellow will do just fine" She said. Magasa giggled.

"Good one! next!" Sora walked up to the bucket and grabbed a ball.

"I like this pink one" She said. Magasa looked at the ball.

"You guy's got the hard one, not as hard as the one Sha-chan picked though" Magasa smiled.

"Okie spokies! Everybody find your room and go inside. All you do is wait for me to hit the gong!" Magasa walked into a room with Ed at her heels. Everyone found their rooms and went inside. Everyone waited in their designated rooms. Magasa's voice came over an intercom.

"I hope you guys didn't have problems finding your rooms! And no one better have switched, Davis and T.K.! go to your rooms!" Davis and T.K. had switched their rooms around. They sighed and Davis's group went back to their room and T.K.'s group did the same.

"Alright now when I hit the gong that door infront of you will open! Ready… set…. Go!" Magasa smacked the gong and the doors imidiately unlocked. At that moment the contest had began!
