CHAPTER ONE (though it's more like an intro than a chapter… - well hope you like it! Sorry if seems rushed. I really want to get to the more interesting parts of the story. Ok I'll shut up now so that you can read in general peace!)
"So Jessica" Bianca drawled out as she glanced over toward the other girls. "Today they'll be announcing who made it to the final stage of the competition for the two new roles in the Yu Yu Hakusho Movie… And their allowing last minute entries until twelve tonight-"
"No, Bianca." Jessica stated not even looking up from her book.
"Oh, come on Jessica! It'll be fun and the winner gets a free trip to Japan. You'll get away from the family. And you're Dad." Bianca tempted putting on her best pitiful puppy dog pout.
Jessica rolled her eyes as she set the book down and looked over at the girls boredly. "As wonderful as it would be to get away from those jerks, it would be twice as bad to have to come back to them. It's already to the point that I can hardly stand coming home. I swear once I get into college I'm never coming back here anyway. What's two more years of waiting?" She trailed off quietly at the end before giving an annoyed huff and turning to the TV.
The girls all glanced at each other again. "So- what now?" Saber cut in as they all tried to think of a plan to get Jessica to enter the damn competition.
"Well if one of us made it on, we could always take her with us saying that we wanted her there for support or something. And while Jessica might be a bit suspicious she'll still go because, even though she won't admit it, she does have a good heart and would worry about us going alone." Elizabeth suggested reasonably, getting nods and mutters of "yeah" "that could work" and such.
"Why do you guys want her to go so bad anyways?" Hillary, a girl that could easily be a model, cut in questioningly. She wasn't trying to be rude but it did seem like an unusual amount of effort for someone who just didn't want to go.
No one answered, the truth was no one really had a definitive answer. Yeah, they all wanted to go together because they'd have more fun that way but besides that they had no clue. I mean no one knew if they were even going to win so mostly everyone was just joking around.
"It'll be more competition, you know?" Hillary stated in her politest voice with her fake smile in place, though you wouldn't know that unless you had known her as long as Jessica and Saber had. Now while Hillary had the almost perfect mask of the perfect girl, she always showed one flaw. She was extremely competitive. If she wanted to win she would. It was a simple as that, friendship had nothing to do with it.
"True" saber muttered thoughtfully. Being the more sporty and tallest in the group and another extremely competitive person, although more open about it, was stuck between her more competitive nature that was telling her to agree and forget about Jessica and the fact that Jessica was her friend and it would be fun to hang out in another country together… .
Elizabeth, getting tired of them, politely excused herself and went over to join Jessica in front of the TV. Immediately striking up a conversation about who knows what that Bianca soon joined in… after tackling Jessica and starting a wrestling match, which she lost, drawing the attention of Natasha, Grace, and Madeline over to there group…. And the TV to be forgotten… along with Hillary's and Saber's ideas on why it might not be such a good idea for them to try and get Jessica into the contest.
11p.m.
"Hey, Jessica I forgot to turn in my entry form. Can I use your computer real fast?" Liz asked as politely as always.
Jessica blinked in confusion. "Sure." She said with a bright smile as she got up off the floor and ruffled her hair before walking on ahead of Liz toward the computer room. "You don't have to ask silly." She shot a cocky grin over her shoulder before allowing Liz to sit down as she logged her in. "I'm honestly surprised that you haven't already entered from all the talk about it. And you're always so organized and get things done weeks before their due." She murmured thoughtfully as she reached other Liz to type in the final password needed to log on, never once taking her eyes off the screen, so she couldn't be certain if she had really seen Liz give a slight flinch or if her eyes were playing tricks on her…. Or maybe she'd just blinked…
But it really is unusual for Liz to do anything last minute. And the girls were whispering an awful lot earlier… though they do that a lot…
"It just wasn't the most important on my list of things to d; I had to finish all my summer projects first." Elizabeth explained, knowing full well that Jessica would probably leave it at that. After all it wasn't a lie.
Jessica gawked at her. "Damn it. I haven't even started the damn fucking book!" Jessica groaned, looking about ready to start beating her head against the wall.
Elizabeth smiled politely her eyes dancing with amusement. "You should probably start."
That earned her an annoyed glare "I'd rather not."
"You'll regret it." She pointed out calmly.
Jessica shrugged in an uncaring manner before turning on her heels only pausing to shoot a cocky smirk back at her and the prideful statement of "I'm already a professional procrastinator. Why change now?" Before continuing on her way, tackling Bianca and giving her a good smack upside the head for whatever perverted comment she made.
Sighing she turned back to the computer, changing from the entry form to yahoo, all the while thinking about how different Jessica seemed with Bianca around. I've never seen her so playful and childish before. She's always been so reserved and quiet. Always calm, always in control, every thing she's says quick, polite, and concise…. Putting her thoughts a side for the time being, she could analyze her friends later, opening up a new message she quickly wrote down what she needed before sending it. There plan wouldn't work otherwise. Quickly closing all tabs, she made her way back to the party giving a smile of thanks to Jessica which was returned with a small, barely noticeable one. That was the smile she had known for years…
I want ice cream… Jessica thought wishfully, before she got up and headed for the kitchen. Screw being polite! This was ice cream we were talking about! Sacrifices must be made, lives may be lost, but who cares! It's Ice cream! God's gift to those of us who can't fly…
"Jessica? Where you going?" Bianca asked as she caught Jessica making her escape.
Twitch. "Um nowhere, just getting ice cream." and getting away from everyone for awhile. "You want some?"
"Hells yes!" was the quick reply before Bianca was at her side.
She snickered in amusement. "You're getting good at that."
"It's because you keep vanishing!" She whined as they continued on their way to the kitchen.
She rolled her eyes. I can't vanish. If I could I wouldn't have been caught.
"Jessica! Don't ignore me!" Bianca whined again pouting and hugging her arm.
"Haha Bianca! I'm not ignoring you! I was just thinking, you dolt." Jessica teased as she ruffled Bianca's short choppy layers. "Now let go."
Bianca stuck her bottom lip out further as she shook her head and tightened her grip. "NO!"
"Bianca!" She wiggled around trying to get out without resorting to violence. "I need both hands to get the ice cream!" Nope still not letting go. "Bianca, damn it! We're gonna fall!"
And with that ever so graceful jinx their legs got tangled up and they collapsed backward in a heap…
"Ugh! Get off me you boob." Jessica groaned as she pushed Bianca off her rubbing the back of her head since it had hit the most things on the way down. She winced, OW. Taking her hand away from her head she glanced down at the little red droplets before wiping it of on the inside of her shirt before Bianca could recover from being pushed off… oh oops… she thought with some guilt.
"That freakin' hurt you bitch!"
Aw fuck.
"Hey it's your fault we fell you boob!"
"Are you calling me fat!"
"WHAT? No! Are you stupid?"
"No! But I am fat!"
"No, your not. And you're just saying that because you know it annoys me!"
"How'd you know I'm not fat?"
"Because I have eyes! YOU MEANY BUTT POOPOO FUCK HEAD!"
"…the hell?"
She shrugged. "shut you up didn't it?"
She looked thoughtful. "Yeah… I guess... weirdo. Though fuck head does describe my perverted mind!"
Jessica snorted in amusement. "Hardly." She looked over at her hit her over the head as she saw Bianca's perverted grin and got up smirking down at her before she held out her hand to help her up. "Your mind was the gutter last year. And it got worse… now it's more like the whole sewer system."
Bianca laughed as Jessica pulled her up, after she tried to yank her back down, trying to remember why they came into the kitchen to begin with.
"Well it probably wasn't that important anyways…" Bianca muttered.
"Yes it was! I remember it had something to do with food!" Jessica growled eyebrows scrunched as she tried to figure this out.
Bianca rolled her eyes. It was always food with Jessica. Food, art, music, books or violence. And they tended to intertwine…mix and matching ya know.
Looking through the freezer Jessica's eyes widened in pure happiness. "ICE CREAM!" and with that she swiftly grabbed it and went in search of a scooper, a bowl, and a spoon… never once letting go of her precious ice cream…
"Uh... Jessica weren't you looking for something?" Bianca asked cautiously sweat dropping after all Jessica loved food, and to get in the way of that was pure suicide…
"Who cares? This is way better!" she exclaimed happily, practically purring in happiness before she started humming as she ate her ice cream, having found everything she needed…though the kitchen was now a mess.
"Jessica! Bianca! They're announcing the people who will get the free trip to Japan!"
Sounds like a prize from a game show. Jessica took a bite of her ice cream only to be grabbed by the arm and forcefully dragged away from her love.
"Bianca! You fucking ho! Let go! I want my ice cream!" Jessica shouted, though she didn't really bother fighting. She didn't really care… she had managed to grab her ice cream at the last second. She was just… changing location?
"You guys took forever! They already started calling names." Saber yelled at them as Jessica rolled her eyes and allowed her self to be dragged over to the couch by a laughing Bianca.
"Have they called any of you guys yet?" she asked calmly though it hardly sounded like a question, though she was curious. I mean what were the chances?
"No, not yet! But there's still a chance!" Saber answered positively since everyone else was to focused on the TV.
Jessica eyed Saber a bit oddly. "Hey Sabe," she waited till she had her attention. "Do you even know what Yu Yu Hakusho is?"
She looked at her confused. "No, I just want to act."
Jessica sweat dropped but said nothing as Saber turned her attention back to the TV. Thought so.
"Elizabeth Stein from Austin, blah blah blah, Bianca Lock from Austin, blah blah blah blah blah, Madeline Smoker, and Saber Kane. Because of special conditions Elizabeth, Bianca, Madeline, and Saber will be required to bring a friend each due to the fact of them being underage and we'd feel better if they had a friend with them. You know safety in numbers. Hahaha :snort snort: Haha haha." The dorky announcer finished.
Everyone sat there sitting there wide eyed slack jawed.
"Holy fucking hell." Jessica mumbled numbly. Getting a numb nod from everyone else. That pretty much summed it up.
"Hey Shuichi,
I need to call in that favor you owe me. I need you to make sure that when you call my name that I can bring a friend. And make it as unsuspicious as possible. I know a girl with a ton of spiritual power, but she won't enter the contest. No interest in being famous. You handle this, and I'll take care of the rest. She'll be there, and trust me. She's just what you're looking for. I'll send more detail later.
End of Chapter One
Ok, once again, I'm really sorry if this chapter is really sucky but it was mostly introduction and the characters will get better later on, I'll probably get around to describing the characters later. But I really think it'll get better, I'm just a little rusty from not writing anything but school essays. So I hope all of you who bothered reading this will stick with me.
Please review. Otherwise I won't know if I should continue or what I need to fix or improve on.
Oh and the YYH gang will probably be showing up next chapter. I'll try to update quickly if you guys like the story…I'm being to repetitive so I'm gonna shut up now. Well later!
Note: Okay, I know this isnt technically an update since i just fixed a few things up but an update is coming! I've taken some notes and i'm inspired! AND there is no way the computer is killing all my work again! :glares at the computer: at least it better not if it doesnt want to fly out the window... Sorry the long wait. I hope to get chapter two out soon.
