Sorry for the wait. I had two summer courses that included essay tests where the teachers like for you to write on multiple sheets of paper and basically make like a college thesis. Medieval Church and American Civil War are interesting, but I think I would rather stick with learning about Asia and its cultures and history. My new obsession is Angkor Wat. Look it up, it's amazing. I don't own Ghost Hunt.
Chapter 19 The bonus Chapter
The Team made their way back to the house. The staff had already set up the riding equipment for the friend competition. Ayako and Monk went to sit on the fence while Lin and Naru stood near them.
"Prepare yourselves to be amazed my awesomeness." Yasuhara announced.
"Ha!" laughed Masako and Mai. John just stood there smiling.
"I bet you fall off." Masako said mockingly.
"I bet he doesn't even make the first jump." Mai added.
"I'm sure we will all do out best and have fun." said John.
The two grooms came out to watch along with the rest of the staff. The grooms would be the judges for the competition.
"Who wants to go first?" Mai asked.
"I will!" Yasuhara sang out.
"Ok so who wants to go after Yasu?" Mai asked.
"I guess I will do that." Masako volunteered.
"And I'll go after Masako which means John will go last. Is that ok with you, John?" Mai turned to ask him.
"Oh it's fine with me. I don't mind at all." John said politely.
"Ok then let the competition begin!" Mai and Yasu yelled together.
Yasuhara was up first. He steadied his steed and concentrated. Then he was off riding. He made the jumps and raced around the barrels. He was doing really well accept he knocked over a barrel and then hit the pole on the last jump.
"I can't believe I did that!" Yasuhara cried in disbelief.
"There, there, You we're probably just a little off today. I'm sure if this was a real competition you would have made no mistakes." John reassured Yasu. Mai and Masako gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder, but then quickly went back to competitive mode.
Masako got ready and began the course. She was doing an amazing job. With lighting speed and precision she whipped around the course. She did make a mistake though. It's the same made by Yasuhara. She hit the pole on the last jump and ruined her chances of winning.
"At least I only hit the pole and not a barrel too." Masako said in a snarky way so that Yasuhara would hear.
"What's that supposed to mean!" he got defensive.
"It means what it means. I'm better than you on all levels."
"Oh yeah?" he growled.
"Yes in deed. I'm prettier and smarter and more talented then you." She crossed her arms with a smug look on her face as Yasuhara took the moment to spas out.
Mai and the others watched with slight shock mixed with amusement. Mai could remember back when she and Masako fought like that. She began to laugh as she thought about Masako's crush on Naru. Looks like love is blossoming in the most likeliest of places.
"Ok I'm next." Mai called out to try and break up the fighting. Mai began her turn on the course. Like Masako, she did the course in lightening speed and precision. She did make a mistake also. She hit the barrel slightly. "Oh well. I guess I'm a little rusty. Its your turn John."
"Go John!" Masako and Mai and Yasu chanted. John tipped his hat in a old gentlemanly like fashion and began. He was amazing. He was faster and more precise than the others had been. He had finished the course perfectly. The others, except Naru and Lin, erupted in cheers and screams as they rushed John who had just dismounted.
"Woooo hoooo." The screamed some more.
"John is number one!" Mai yelled.
"I guess that makes you the ultimate champion." Yasuhara clapped him on the back.
"Well what would you like as a prize?" Mai asked John excitedly.
John seemed to think about this for awhile. "I don't really know."
"Oh come on John there has to be something that you would like." Monk said.
"Well I guess there is something I would like…" John smiled chuckled deviously.
What was it that John wanted as his prize you may ask? Well John surprised everyone by his request and the unfortunate losers had to comply. John sat on the fence as the others did push ups in the mud. Monk and Ayako were laughing. Naru had left before John made his request so he missed out, but Lin stuck around and was clearly enjoying this.
"Next time you guys won't make such mistakes. You all need to exercise more and build up your strength." John smiled in his usual friendly manner. No one would ever forget this. The losers got up and rushed towards Monk and Ayako while Yasuhara tackled John.
Ayako shrieked as they flung mud at her. Monk was laughing even harder. Ayako smooshed a handful of mud right into his face and that triggered the war. The timer on the sprinkler system went off. The group ran around laughing and screaming as they played in the mud. Lin watched them from a safe distance. It brought back memories of when he watched Gene and Naru play in the mud when it rained. He smiled and turned and walked towards the house.
OK so bad news. The next one is the last chapter. Good News I'm going to make several sequels. They are good to be serious. Since I decided to make them I want to plan them out so that each story goes into the next, its all important. Right now it looks like four more. The titles in order so could be Cursed, Stalked or Change (haven't decided yet so far I'm leaning towards change.) and then Gained, and finally Love. I'm not sure if everyone will like them. But keep in mind if you don't like how one ends there is a next one so technically things could go for the better. Hope you liked my story thanks for the positive reviews and comments. I would like to thank krissy2lip for suggesting I make a better summary. I will admit the first one wasn't that good. I can't say much else about the squeals except that I have almost finished planning them all out and will begin writing the chapters for the first one very soon.
