Chapter 13: Ack!
This chapter is named after the reaction Mason makes.... also introduces Mason to Manga (he he) enjoy!
The next day, everyone woke to pleasant Saturday.
"Today's the day. " sighed Mason.
"WAKIE WAKIE MASON!" smiled Odd.
"ACK!" yelled Mason.
"Ready for today's 5,000$ shopping spree?" smiled Odd.
"No." said Mason.
"Good everyone is waiting for you!" said Odd dragging Mason out of bed.
"Okay, just let me get dressed." said Mason.
After a quick change of clothes with a quick brushing of hair and teeth, Mason ran to the courtyard.
"Okay, let's get this over with." said Mason.
They gang walked to the outside mall and met in the center.
"First we need to get you groomed." said Odd.
"I'm not a dog." said Mason.
"Then we need to get you something to wear." said Ulrich.
"This is going to be fun." sighed Mason.
"First that hair is getting out of control and those SIDEBURNS!" said Aelita.
"So?" asked Mason.
"SO, you need a haircut." said Odd.
"My sideburns are a sense of pride thank you very much." said Mason.
"I guess were are doing this the hard way." said Ulrich.
"ACK! NO YOU WON"T TAKE ME ALIVE!" threatened Mason.
Mason tried to pull back, but was dragged into the barber where they cut off some of his hair.
"Was that so bad? " asked Odd.
"Yes, yes it was." said Mason.
"Well, your hair is under control now." said Yumi.
One of the barbers handed Mason a mirror and he looked himself over.
"Hm... not that bad." smiled Mason.
"Next a tuxedo!" smiled Ulrich.
"Ack! A monkey suit? " asked Mason.
"Of course! " smiled Jeremy.
"I guess I have no choice. " sighed Mason.
The guys dragged him into the Tux Shoppe where they brought him several Tuxedos.
"Hey! How about that one?" asked Mason.
They turned around and saw a cream tuxedo with a gorgeous red tie.
"Yeah that does look nice!" said Odd.
They took it off the rack and checked it out.
"We have everything we need now." cheered Mason.
"Not everything..." smiled Ulrich.
"Ack! What?" asked Mason.
"Book store." said Odd.
"Why the bookstore?" asked Mason.
"Odd has to get a book for his report. "said Ulrich.
They walked into the large book store and separated into the walls of books. Mason was looking around in the Graphic-Novel/Comics section when he saw a familiar face. Mason hid behind some books and spied on his target.
"They still don't have that volume." huffed Emily walking away with a book in her hand.
Mason walked to the shelf where Emily was at and saw several graphic novels.
"Ouran High School Host Club?" asked Mason.
Mason flipped through the pages.
"I can't read this backwards stuff.... oh wait it's...... what was it called...... manga." said Mason.
Mason flipped through others and saw more of it.
"Hmmmm.. romance manga... interesting." said Mason.
Mason saw that there were eleven volumes of the novel.
"Well, due to the fact that she didn't buy or pick up any of these, that means she's looking for volume 12." said Mason.
"Come on Mason! Were leaving!" yelled Ulrich.
"Okay I'm coming." said Mason.
"On the bright side, I know what to get her now." thought Mason.
When they got back to Kadic it started snowing.
"I need to get into the gym. "said Mason running away.
"I need to go to." said Odd.
When the two boys got into the gym, Mason took his tux into the bathroom to change. Mason came back out.
"How do I look?" asked Mason.
"WONDERFUL!" smiled Ames.
"You look.... different." blushed Emily.
"Really.... okay then." said Mason.
"Good onto rehearsal now!" said the man.
"How does a host rehearse? "asked Mason.
"Read these cards and memorize the words." said the director.
"Welcome to the 32nd Anuual Comunity Talent Show!" said Mason.
"With more feeling!" said the Director.
"This is going to take a while." said Mason.
For about an hour the crew rehearsed their parts of when to turn on light and when to play certain kinds of music, and Mason tried to say the line right.
"No no Mason, try again." maoned the director.
"Okay, okay I got it! WELCOME TO THIS YEARS ANUUAL TALENT SHOW!" smiled Mason holding the microphonse.
"Brilliance in the making. "cried the director.
Everyone clapped and Mason jumped down from the steps.
"Yes, keep that tone for talent show night." smiled the director.
"As much as I LOVE to stick around I have to do some other things at the moment. " said Mason.
Mason left the building and ran to the nearest anime/manga store. He pulled out a note and the lady looked in her stock.
"Yes we do have this volume." said the lady.
"Okay I'll take that AND I'l suscribe to the series so that when a new volume comes out I get it." said Mason.
"Wow I never knew a BOY was so into the series." said the lady ringing up the items.
"It's not for me." panted Mason.
"Okay then, who do I put the name under?" asked the lady.
"Emily Leduc." said Mason.
