"Mello! Are you Kidding me?" Emma cried as they had just finished filming thier skit... or so they had thought. "You mean you didnt get ANY of it?" So much for a camera girl... Why did they even need one when she didnt notice that none of the skit had recorded?
"Whatever, We'll just run through it again, its no big deal," a taller teen wearing a cosplay of peter said as he itched at the wig on his head. beneath it was shorter brown hair and wigs could get raather iritating... that was a fact...
Even though Emma hadnt itched at hers once. She had covered her normal brown shoulderlength curls with a purple straight wig that went just past her chin in length, cutting across her forhead in a fringe of bangs, and underneath which, were her newly contacted eyes which had been an aqua colour and now were a deep purple to match her wig.
"Hey! Isnt that american chick gonna be here soon? Why dont we just wait for her?" Chelsea, the only one in the actual skit who was not wearing a wig so far, replied as she plopped herself down on the ground reaching for the manga that was just out of reach for her. Emma snatched up the book and placed it in her bag...
"You can read once we're done filming this scene! And ya, ginas suposed to be here in like, an hour or two..." It was then that her phone went off, alerting her that she had recieved a text. " A text?" she looked around seeing if anyone around her had sent it as a way of distracting her... nope! she opened the message on the small handheld device, reading it outloud... "Canada eh! Ad yo! This costume is boooiiillliiiinnnnggg! From Gina." She sighed... As she read the message, Chelsea had snuck up behind her grabbing the manga Emma had taken from her bag before dashing behind a tree to start reading. "Well, Ginas plane has obviously landed by now, so we've gotta get goi-" she stopped, realizing that Chelsea had gone and disapeared once again. "Where'd she go?" she asked in an almost annoyed tone. They needed to get this done! Anime north was in three days, that left them JUST enough time to film if she wanted to edit it properly and submit it for the were on a tight schedual.
Mitch just pointed to a tree, and if you listened closely, you'd hear the snapping of pocky comming from behind it. an Evil grin apeared on the purple girl's face as she aproached the tree, suddenly putting on a happy face as she went and sat bside her friend. though it was more of a sarcastic happy. "Soooo, Whats happend so far?" she chirped to the girl behind the tree.
"Alice bumped into Pierce! and its april month so that means-" at this Emma snatched the manga back,promptly putting it back in her bag and skipping back to Mitch and Jailing (Whom she had nicknamed Mello due to a certain art project that had revolved around bitten Chocolate bars...).
"We'll take a break as soon as Gina gets here... We'll got for icecream or something, kay?" She asked looking around at the group of people around her. everyone seemed to be in agreement, except for one.
"Vegan man does not Aprove!" Mitch said to them, "Whatever, maybe they'll have something made from soy," he shrugged and with that the group went back to work, this time, Jailing had managed to work the camera properly and all went well... or well, Semi well... There were a few outakes and redos throut it, but still, it want realy rather well.
By the time it was done, they were all plopped down on the grass tired from the scenes that they had just competed... They'd dne quite a bit so far, but they realy couldnt go on without Elliot... and Emma was reluctant to get out the other costumes until she needed to... they were safer in her closet in her opinion. What, with three cats and a dog, along with two baka younger brothers running around with their toy (and not so toy) guns and weapons and such, it was probably for the best...
"You Lazy Bums! Get up! We've gotta get going if we're gonna get this done!" The Voice came booming through the backyard. All around there were confuzed faces from the whole group... Or there were until The purple hair cat hatted girl bounced up from where she was laying sprawled out on the ground, looking at who stood before them.
"Gina!" She Exclaimed, before running and tacklehugging the girl right to the ground. "How was your flight?" she beamed, happy to finaly meet the gil in person that she had only been speaking to through the computer for ages now.
"Long and boring... My DS ran out of Batterys, and my ipod was already dead! I ended up having to watch the crappy airplane movie..." she said with an "oof!" at being tackled. "And yo, cool cosplay! Is that the one you were working on?" Emma gave a nod, before the sound of a honking car could be heard from the front of the small bungalo... Chelsea took a quick peak around the house, bafore turning around with a sad explreson...
"Sorry Emma-chan! its my mom..." she said in a way that sounded like the very thought of it made her sick. "I thought I told her 5 o'clock! Not 3..." she complained grabbing her bag from the deck and heading out the gate towards the car. "I'll see you tomarow!" she said happily, before pausing. "Wait, Whats Chicky here gonna do while you're at school?" she asked, but alas, she could not get her answer before being pulled off by her mother who was saying omething about the strange getups and other things that could have been noted of questions about their sanity.
They werent crazy!
They were just otakus!
there was a HUGE Diference. in the eyes of them of course...
"Ya, what are we gonna do about that?" Gina pointed out. "I guess I could just sit and phone stalk kitty and Lilly..." she thought outloud,itching at the wig before pulling it off completely. "Hey, can I just change out'a this? Without the other chick, We cant do much... can we?" Emma nodded before turning towards Jailing and Mitch.
"I'll be right back, kay?" she said before taking Gina into the house and showing her to the washroom and carrying her bags downstairs to the guest room for her. By the time she was outside again, so was she, and Emma explained what she was going to do about the whole School sitchuation. "well, my mom just called in saying that im not gonna be in for the next three days, so we're gonna be hanging out until school gets out, and back to work! Hey! MAybe we could even take a trip down to the falls!"
"do you want me to get your homework for you? You dont wanna get behind... Its not good to miss three whole days of school... C'mon! and you're the one that said you wanted to get your grades up! How're you going to get to japan by missing school uselessly?" Jailing lectured, being the serious student she was she wasnt even missing friday afternoon to get up to Toronto with them... she was comming up saturday morningon the train and meeting up with them. She wasnt even going in costume!
"Mello, dont be a spol sport... and I've already handeled the homework thing... I worked ahead a little so Im all good... and My grades are high enough now! you know im s'posed to leave in two months!" She then pulled out her work schedual, "Oh ya, and the only times you might have to sit around are when im working... Whick is thursday and thats it..." she said looking at the paper. Jailing rolled her eyes, as if in doubt of the girl working ahead. "Hey! dont doubt me Mello! wanna see the crud load I have 'ta bring in for the teachers?"
"Nah, whatever, its your loss though!" she said brushing it off as her friends normal otaku idiocy comming through. Though they were pretty much best buds.
"Okay then, Oh! and can you cand Chelsea take the bus here tomarow after school? I doubt you'll wanna ride your bike all the way here from the school..." Jailing gave a nod, "Oh! and Mich too, We'll need Peter again tomarow."
and with that the group disperced as Jailing's parents came and Mitch went to check the bus website to see when the next bus got here... "Sounds good, but yo, I'll probably never get to talk to you once you go... Too much time diference..." Gina said with a stretch and a yawn as Emma dug through her DVDs until she came across her hetalia box set. "Man, I know theres no Time diference, but geez, flights tire me out man..."
"An Early night then I guess? Not the 3 ams we usualy pull... Unless you want a deathnote marathon. Then we can," Emma said popping the DVD into the player and pushing the compartment closed letting the brightly coloured happy looking characterizations of countrys pop up on the sceen.
"So you put Hetalia in right as Im suposed to leave? Geez, you're no fun! You know its my favorite!" Mitch called as he walked over from the computer hearing the voice actors that had become all too familier since the show had been shown to him. "Geez, now I'm just going to have to call me mom or dad to pick me up so I can stay and watch a little. You're so bringing it to anime north though." he said taking out his phone and sitting down on the couch. He was cosplaying Auystria at anime north for everything except the skit, and the Heart no Kuni no Alice photoshoot. He wasnt particularly happy about plaing a "Gun happy stalker rabbit" Vegan man did not aprove of it. But, he was going along with it anyways because Emma had pleaded so much for it...
And with that the trio started to waste the night away with the series of short episodes that made them laugh so hard... it all came to an end moments after mitch had left. the sun was setting and There was a burst of sick laughter comming from the backyard... "GO GET 'EM KIT! EAT THAT FURBALL FOR DINNER!" The voice of course was comming from Emma's younger brother Donovan, whom they had been calling Dee long before the manga came out in north america... Ironicaly, he had a cosection of dagars, Nerf guns, a switch blade knife, and a BB gun all of which he kept in the closet of his room... no lie. that kid was a regular tweedle. "Yo! Emma! Come see this! Kits got a white rabbit Cornered! Hes gonna go in for the kill!" The young boy shouted to his sister though not taking his eyes off of the cat and rabbit in the corner of the yard.
"You've gotta be kidding me! Donovan! Stop them!" Emma yelled to her brother while she and Gina sped around back as fast as they could through the gate to the backyard, their feet pounding against the green dandelion covered grass towards the squeeks of distress...
"Stop your Frigging Cat man!" Gina cried seeing the cat visciously attacking the creture before them.
"Kit! Back off!" Emma called grabbing the cat by the scruff of the neck before picking him up and locking him in the bathroom, only to come back to find Gina in the kitchen cleaning the small white rabbit's wounds with a cool cloth and bandages from Emma's mom's nurse kit in the kitchen. "Poor guy! He was defensless..." Gina said as she stroked the rabbit's ears. "Can we keep him inside for the night? We can let him go tomarow... He should ghet some rest first..."
Emma nodded, taking the rabbit and Gina down to her room, where emma soon had set up a shoebox bed of pillow fluff and towels for the little guy... he looked warn out, angry... and well, scared too. But what rabbit wouldnt be? but there was something strange about this rabbit, and what neither of the girls knew was that tomarow, this rabbit would change their lives for good...
