This chapter has some mature themes (if you can call any part of this chapter mature). But if you're reading this and you don't know some terms used in this chapter, theeeennn... uhm, welcome to sex ed.

I hate it when teachers interefere with stuff by doing "teacher stuff". :( So annoying.

MIYAZAKI HIGH SCHOOL

Courtyard

Monday, October 7th

3:59 P.M.

A small chain of Eds scurried across the empty campus toward the gym and locker room. Eddy kept up the trend of leading, Double D in second wore a nervous face, and blissfully oblivious Ed lumbered in last.

It had come to Eddy's attention, retrieved from Timmy and written down on a post-it pad in his pocket, that right now Francis was in practice for some sport. Eddy had forgotten what sport. Some cliché idiot kid sport.

It had also crossed Eddy's mind briefly that maybe he should be waiting for that Tomo girl or something. He had remembered a most interesting conversation they had that morning, that Double D had left Eddy to handle alone in some very rare absence of common sense on Double D's part. Eddy managed to avoid giving Tomo any real answers, be they regarding when they were supposed to meet up, where, or who was meeting up. Eddy accomplished this by giving a lot of looks and noises that were answers that could be perceived as anything, and exuded a general aura of really having something better to do and not paying attention. Tomo didn't talk to him about it for the rest of the day. He was surprised that Tomo wasn't loud and annoying about it, but he wasn't surprised he succeeded – he had tons of practice not giving a crap with his parents and brother.

Eddy stopped in front of the locker room, crouching against the wall like a spy. Double D did a less exaggerated version of this action, and Ed's had twice as much feeling. Eddy motioned for them to be quiet, enjoying the stealthy act. He turned to go in, but came face to face with two purple blazers and stumbled backwards.

"Hi!" Osaka waved.

"Hi!" Ed said.

Eddy gaped, but then caught himself. "What are you doing here?"

"We're helping you with the prank!!" Tomo stated with flair.

"But… we're going in the guys' locker room."

"It's right there," Osaka said.

"Yeah, but, what I'm trying to say is-"

"LET'S DO IT!" Tomo threw open the door.

"Stop!" Eddy jumped in front of her. "You have to be quiet! We can't get caught – that's an important part of this whole business. Why are you here anyway? I thought we agreed you wouldn't be working on this prank."

"No!" Tomo shook her head. Her spiky black locks bounced, imitating the rest of her. "YOU agreed to that! You didn't pay attention to what I said! So I decided to do you a favor and show up!"

"Gee, great favor. Thanks. You'll just be annoying, go away."

"You'll love me once you get to know me!" Tomo led the way inside.

Eddy let the two girls go into the locker room. He ignored Double D's accusing eyes on the back of his head.

"I thought you said you took care of them."

"I did, but she… un-took." He followed her.

"Now what are we doing?"

Eddy took out his trusty post-it note. "You're not doing anything. You can't do this prank right – it's a guy thing." He stopped next to the showers. "Here's his locker." Eddy unzipped his pants.

Tomo gave him a disgusted look. "Are you going to masturbate in his locker?"

"WHAT? No! I'm going to piss in it! That's the prank – we pee all over his stuff."

"It's very mature," Double D murmured.

"What can we do to help?" Osaka asked. Then she laughed. "I mean, besides the obvious. I'm not going there."

Eddy ignored her. He was only reasonably sure that he knew what she meant, but decided not to ask for clarification. "Go stand guard."

Tomo looked around the side, then scrambled back to Eddy. "There are teachers coming in!!"

Eddy zipped back up. "But practice isn't supposed to be over until four thirty!"

"I don't know! Maybe they're coming in to do teacher stuff!"

Eddy grabbed Double D and Ed. "Into the showers!" He shoved them in.

"What about us?!" Tomo asked.

"What about the prank?" Osaka asked.

"Screw the prank! Hide!"

Tomo squealed in panic. She whipped around in circles, looking for a place to hide. Meanwhile, Osaka climbed into Francis's locker.

The coaches, one male and one female, were still in their office, talking loudly. Eddy hissed to the girls, "What are you DOING? HIDE!"

Tomo dived behind a garbage can.

"OSAKA!" Eddy turned his head around the wall.

"This is uncomfortable!" Eddy saw Osaka, standing in the locker and on top of a bunch of books, peeing on his stuff.

Eddy gasped in shock before jumping back into the showers. He sat on the ground and laughed as silently as he could.

"Is someone in here?" The female coach, a tough, spiky-haired woman named Anko stepped into the inner locker room.

Osaka appeared behind her from the locker (having somehow cleaned herself up a bit) with her innocent smile. "Hi!"

Anko didn't jump. "Osaka. What the hell are you doing here? It's kinda late and you're in the guys' locker room."

"I got lost."

Anko sighed. "I actually believe you."

Osaka nodded.

"Get out of here before the guys come in."

"Okay," Osaka strolled out.

Tomo ran off after her. "I got lost, too!!"

Anko looked like she might have said something, but waved her hand in the air and went back into the office.

The Eds sat in the shower stall, waiting for the teachers to stop chatting and leave. Eddy was still smiling.

Double D crossed his arms over his white button-down and tie. "Is it still a guy thing?"

"The peeing or the pranking?"

"Hm, both."

"Hey Lumpy, you wanna work with girls?"

"My dad said use protection, Eddy."
