Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'm so glad you like it!
The men waited in anticipation for what the girls were going to tell them. But Karma was waiting for Lani to tell them and Lani was doing the same.
Finally Karma nudged Lani.
"Um, Tezla recently contacted a old friend of his in college and"
"Tezla has friends?" Vert asked.
the room was filled with a faint chuckle, which gave Nolo the chance to snatch the piece of pizza that they were fighting over, which forced Vert to use drastic measures by elbowing his leader in his ribs. They started brawling until the sound of Karma clearing her throat. The boy sheepishly stopped and yet again gave all the attention they could muster to the two girls, that is, after Vert snatched the pizza out of Nolo's hands.
"As I was saying, Tezla's friend from college has invited Tezla to a formal banquet."
"And that concerns us because?" Taro questioned.
"What Karma is trying to tell you is" Lani was again interrupted by Vert.
"Duh! Tezla's going to be gone! I got one word for you guys: PAR-TY! Oh Yeah!"
Vert was in the process of slipping the piece of pizza down his throat, when Karma corrected him.
"No Vert. Tezla was also told to bring along his very polite and well bread workers with him. And of course since he really has no one that fits that qualification, he's bringing us."
Vert Choked on the pizza that was halfway down his throat. But everyone else was to shock stricken to help, or notice for that matter.
"What did you say?" Nolo whispered.
"Exactly what you heard Nolo. Tezla has assigned Lani and myself to educate you in the ways of formal dining and hospitality."
The room fell into a deathly silence. You could hear a pin drop to the floor.
"Oh I get it! It's a joke!" Monkey laughed.
"Man that's a good one girls. You almost had me fooled there! Wow that's an even better prank then when Kurt convinced us that he had committed suicide with the sleeping pills!"
Monkey laughed again and wiped a tear from his eye, but he then noticed that the rest of the room wasn't laughing. On the contrary, the Teku were staring speechlessly at the girls, while a few of the Maniacs were whimpering.
"It's not a joke?" Monkey stated.
"No it's not. Now, are you boys going to cooperate? Or are we going to force you?" Karma waited for their reply.
The men seemed to be contemplating what to do. The girls did tend to get violent at times, plus the two of them put together could round up enough black-mail on each of them to make them do anything!
After a while, they all nodded their heads slowly.
"Great! Now I forgot to tell you that Tezla will only be taking a few of you, he's working on a list right now, Marky is definitely not going."
"Yes!" Marky shouted. Receiving quite a few death glares from his envious fellow racers.
Just them the com-link to the room buzzed. Signaling that Tezla wanted to talk.
Lani picked up the phone.
"Yes Doctor Tezla? You do? Ok hang on let me write this down."
Lani scanned over the room and snatched the pencil and note pad that was sitting on the side table.
"Ok go." Lani started writing.
After what felt like hours Lani hung up and turned to the room of people waiting to hear what poor unfortunate souls would have to participate in Tezla problem.
"Ok, so me and Karma are going, um, Kurt, Nolo, Vert, Tork, Taro, and Monkey? you guys to."
"Hey wait a minute!" Vert interjected.
'How come Shirako and Pork Chop don't have to go?"
Karma and Lani exchanged glances and looked over to the two racers in question.
Shirako had stood up and was dancing to his music. While Pork Chop was chomping down on a greasy piece of fried chicken.
"Oh, yeah." Vert muttered.
"Besides Vert, we have least amount of chance to get Pork Chop into a tuxedo, let alone finding one that fits."
"Hold on, did you say, tuxedo?" Nolo questioned.
"Yes Nolo, tuxedo." Karma replied with a grin, revealing a long yellow, sewing tape measure.
"Lani, you get the dance music from Tezla while I get the boy's measurements. Something tells me this will be very interesting."
While Lani left the room, all the men doomed to the same fate shrank back into a corner with Karma slowly approaching with a evil grin on her face.
Well how was that?
