Welcome to College
Planning for the Battle
Thursday: 1000 hours, DE'ANDRA DELTA SORORITY
"So is everything ready?" Arcee asked everyone who was congregated in the living room.
"Yep, the 'guns' are built, outfits are ready, and." Jade said counting with her fingers
"I'm still working on the bombs, no matter what I do they just want to blow up whenever." Aquanette added sounding bummed.
"I have someone who can help you with that. He's an expert at building bombs and grenades." The girls all looked to Aquanette and smiled when Arcee said 'He' and the texan girl raised her hands defensively. "So we all know this will be taking place in the forest right?"
"Right." They all said in unsision and she nodded her head while looking through the list of things to do."
"Alright, I need Team One to go and scout out a good area for our forest base." She looked up to see Jade handing girls number cards so they would know what to do. "I need Team Two to go out and gather our extra troops and tell them when and where to meet on Saturday... And for Team Three, you'll be coming with me to tell the Alphas that we have a little game for them... Everyone got that?" She looked up to see everyone nodding and standing up from their spots. "We'll meet back here no later than six." Once she said that everyone left the room to go get their jobs done.
Thursday: 1100 hours, Shelbi & Aquanette, Forest,
The two girls scoured the forest for a place to set up their base. Aqua looked behind herself to see Shelbi reading a book and following behind. The texan girl stopped in her tracks making the other girl bump into her.
"Are ya going to help or read?"
"I am helping." She held up the book for Aquanette to see. "This is about the forest here, animals, insects and places to stay away from, plus good trees that will give good coverage."
"Sure." Aquanette said rolling her eyes sarcastically while Shelbi opened her book wider and pointed to a specific tree making Aqua's mouth drop.
"It's called a platform tree." The tree was tall and large, in the middle it had a large round platform that looked as if it could hold more than 10 people. Shelbi started to walk away from Aqua and divert from the path they were on.
As they walked Aqua felt as if she was getting shorter than Shelbi. She rubbed her eyes and looked again only to notice that she was shrinking. She looked down to see that she was sinking in sand. "Q-Quicksand!" Shelbi jumped from her gaze and saw that her friend was getting swallowed up by the sand quickly.
"Don't struggle, you'll sink deeper if you do..." Shelbi looked around. "be right back."
"Hurry." Shelbi ran from her spot to find something long and durable enough to pull Aquanette out of the quicksand. After a few minutes of searching she found an old abandoned rope. Quickly she grabbed it and threw it out to her friend.
"Grab on." Aqua grabbed the rope and held on tightly as Shelbi pulled her out. Once she was out of the quicksand she took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "That was a close one.
"You're stronger than I thought."
"I have experience with my brother." When they were ready to continue the girls got up and grabbed their stuff.
Avoiding any other casualties they walked for a while before stopping and looking up to see the tree from the picture. On the other side was a rope ladder that could be pulled up from the top. Shelbi let Aquanette go first and watched as she disappeared through the leaves, she then went up the ladder until she found the platform. They rolled up the ladder and starred in awe at the area. It was huge and on one side of it, it had a zip-line so they could get down and attack.
"Oh ya, this will be perfect. Coverage from those Alphas and perfect place to watch and attack." Shelbi tested the zip-line to see if it would work and found that it was perfect for the job, when she got back up she nodded approvingly.
"This will be our new base of operations." The girls Hi-Fived and spent the rest of the day fixing up the tree base so that it would look nicer than it's original state.
Thursday: 1100 hours, Stardust and Phoenix, Campus,
Stardust and Phoenix walked around the campus trying to find Starshadow and Starlight. As they searched, without paying attention to where they were going, they ran into Queenie who was walking around the campus herself.
"Hey." Queenie said tumbling back but catching herself.
"Sorry Quinn." Stardust said apologetically.
"It's Queenie."
"Have you seen Starsahdow and Starlight?" Phoenix said without thinking and Stardust nudged her side with her elbow. "Ow- oh sorry." Queenie looked towards them while folding her arms.
"I haven't see them but I did hear them talking between themselves going that way." She pointed behind herself with her hand and went to walk again but was stopped.
"Queenie, how would you like to be on our team?" Phoenix asked and Stardust gave her they 'why' gesture to which she just brushed off.
"For what?"
"Were going to go against the Alphas in a 'Battle'." Queenie smiled and turned to face her fully.
"Really? I'd love to."
"Great meet at De'Andra Delta Sorority House on Saturday at 7 a.m." Queenie nodded while smiling and they walked their separate ways. When Phoenix caught up to Stardust she looked confused.
"Why did you ask her, she's-"
"I know, but her hearing is impeccable. We could use her hearing to out advantage, plus she hates the Alphas too, and the more our team has in common the more we will work together." Stardust shrugged and nodded slightly.
"I guess, I just don't want her to get hurt." Phoenix rolled her eyes and let out a deep breath. They walked in silence until they found Stardust's sisters who were sitting down at a bench and eating lunch. "Hey Star's!" They looked at her and waved. "How are you two doing without me." She asked sitting down next Starlight.
"Better than ever." Starshadow said gaining a fake laugh from her sister and then a serious look.
"Fine I guess, the Alphas haven't bothered us too much." Starlight added.
"Good." She hugged her younger triplet and smiled. "I wouldn't be able to bear seeing you all hurt, especially by those girls." Phoenix sat down next to Starshadow and smiled. "We've come to talk about Saturday."
"You mean the 'Battle'." Starshadow said smiling now.
"Yep, we want you guys to meet us at De'Andra Delta Sorority House at 7 a.m." Phoenix said setting her elbows onto the table. "It'll be in the forest."
"You guys have a base of operations for this right... you know somewhere to gather."
"Ya Aquanette and Shelbi are looking for one now."
"So why'd you pick the forest in the first place?" Starlight asked.
"Arcee picked it... Mainly because it's great cover from the blaring sun, it has quicksand, good trees to hide us. you know the usual." Stardust said counting off the reasons.
"I think it's because the forest will mess up Brittniannes perfect looks."
"Well that has a part somewhere, but don't tell her that." They all laughed and talked for a bit longer before Phoenix and Stardust headed back to the house to finish up a few projects.
Thursday: 1100 hours, Arcee and Jade, EMERALD ALPHA SORORITY HOUSE
Arcee and Jade walked down the road to the house that was perfectly placed at the end of it. It was larger than most of the houses in the whole school, also known as Brittniannes Sorority.
To say the least Jade was a bit hesitant that they were doing this, but Arcee was pumped and ready to show who was boss of what. They made their way there and once they reached it, Jade was starting to have second thoughts.
"You know what, maybe we should just do this some other day, or we could even forget about this whole thing and have a nice relaxing saturday." Arcee looked to her when she rang the doorbell and Jade looked as if she was going to bolt. Before she could someone opened the door and looked at them.
"Yes." The man answered and the two looked confused. He has silverish gray hair and a whole tuxedo outfit on.
"Who are you?" Arcee asked raising a brow at him.
"I am Bernard the Butler." Jade turned around at this and eyed him.
"She has a butler? Rich Brat." She said folding her arms. Arcee interupted Jade before she could say anything else.
"We have come to see brittnianne about important matters. Is she here?"
"Yes, but Miss. Dabber requires an appointment." Just as he said that, the blonde haired girl walked down the stairs in her silk robe.
"Bernard, I can take this from here." He nodded and walked away as Brittnianne walked up to them smiling devilishly. "What do my enemies want from me now, money. Because I would happily not give it to you."
"Cut the Crap princess, I came to talk to you."
"Oh my peasants have requested my presents." She shifted her weight and silently laughed. "Do come in and follow me to my room." They walked with her up the stairs to her room which was large and was filled with a king bed, double closets that were fit with clothes, accessories, and shoes, she also had plenty of mirrors places around her room. She walked behind a circular thing that was taller than her and slid it shut. "Don't sit on the bed, it's imported Chinese silk." They rolled their eyes and stood in place not wanting to touch anything. "So what did you need to talk to me about?" She asked with superiority while throwing her robe on the top of the item and grabbing a pair of pants.
"We wanted to invite you to our 'Battle' on saturday. Delta against Alpha."
"Battle? I don't like to get myself dirty." She answered taking a shirt.
"We know. But let's just say this 'Battle' can determine who's the best at fighting."
"Mmmmmmm." She slipped on her heels and pushed the wooden set to one side to show her outfit that she had on, which was a red silk frilled shirt and blue fancy pants. "Don't I look gorgeous, my outfit reminds me of that hottie Optimus." Arcee felt her face heat up at her comment but she kept her cool. "Look Delta's... I'll affiliate with your games if you do what I want." She was now at her vanity and putting on red lipstick.
"What would that be?"
"I'm setting up a fashion show later in the year, I want you to compete against me and my girls, we'll see who's best then."
"Deal." Jade looked to Arcee who was shaking Brittniannes hand.
"You are so going to lose." She pulled Arcee closer and whispered into her ear so Jade couldn't hear her. "Because you know... No man wants a loser." Arcee pulled away and glared at Brittnianne. "If you know what I mean." They walked out of the room and Arcee let out a sigh while clenching her fists.
"What did she say?" Jade asked looking to her angered friend, Arcee perked up to make sure that no one could see her acting that way.
"Nothing to be concerned about... you know, Brittnianne being Brittnianne." Jade raised a brow at her and starred.
"I'll accept that for now, but I wont' believe you." They walked in silence until they got back to the house, from their Jade went back in and Arcee got ready to go out on her bike. Once she was ready she hopped on and rode out from the Delta's house. She drove for a bit setting her mind on the Autobots Frat house. Thinking about that made her remember what Brittnianne said and she didn't notice herself drifting to the other side until she heard someone honking.
"WHATCH IT BLONDIE!" Arcee growled and thought about chasing them, but knew she needed to ask WheelJack for his help instead. It took her about five minutes to reach their house, when she got there she saw that they were all heading in from returning from something. She took off her helmet and talked to WheelJack for a bit thankful that he accepted her help request.
She then looked to Optimus when he said her name and saw that he was completely drenched. They talked for a second before he said he had a question for her. She knew it couldn't be anything to serious since there was nothing she could really do to help them. But what he asked, or at least tried to ask next, surprised her.
He wanted to go out on a date with her, why had she even been bothered by Brittnianne and her secret, she knew Optimus and she knew that he wasn't one to choose a woman because they were a winner. She wanted to blurt out yes, but kept her cool.
"I would love to Optimus, what time is good for you?"
"Well I..."
"One of my friends said theres a drive in theater down a ways, movies playing at 8 tomorrow." She was now thankful that they had been talking about movies at breakfast, even though it wasn't her favorite topic.
"Sounds perfect... One thing I don't have a car." She could see that there was a hint of emmarrasment written on his face.
"That's ok, we can take my motorcycle." Arcee smiled and put her helmet back on, she pulled out of the driveway and rode away before pumping her fist in the air and smiling largely under her helmet. This weekend was going to be perfect, first a date with Optimus and then beat the Alphas in their 'Battle', yep Perfect.
Breonna stood near their house listening to the conversation.
"A date huh. Sounds like a good time to break up the fun and to get some kudos from Brittnainne." Breonna moved from her spot and started to jog again smirking the whole way back to the Alphas house.
