Thank you guys for the reviews. I hope you like this next chapter. I only own Lindsey. Now on to chapter four

Chapter 4: Fat Chance

I was time for science in school I was wearing my anchor tank top, jean shorts, grey converse sneakers, and my believe necklace. I had my hair pulled into my hairstyle that took my side bangs on the left side on continued to braid it into the side braid with all of my hair.

I was putting my stuff for English in my locker and was talking to Kim when Milton came running over saying, "Guys! Guys! Want to know who just won the district wide spelling bee?"

Jerry shook his head and I said, "Be nice Jerry. Who Milton?" Milton said, "Thanks Lindsey. Here's a clue. M-E." Jerry said, "Meh." Milton said, "It's me ya toad." I said, "Congratulations Milton." Milton said, "Thank you Linds."

We saw what looked like a very tiny trophy and Eddie asked, "What is that?" Milton replied, "It's the trophy I won. It's a bronze bee." I said, "I'm sorry Milton but that's to small to be considered a trophy." Kim said, "Yeah. I've got fillings bigger then that think."

Milton said, "I rode a filly named persecutes all the way to the finish line. Now come on. How's the man? How's the man?" We were all not wanting to say something. But luckily the principals voice said, "Jack is the man."

We all started cheering , "Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!" As we walked over to where Jack and the vice principal were. The principal said, "Now thanks to Jack's routine we've won our first gymnastics trophy in fifteen years." All of us (who were Jack's closet friends) started to cheer for him.

Milton only did it half heartedly. After the guy put it on the shelf with the other trophies, Jack said, "It wasn't really a routine. I was just trying to move fast enough so no-one would notice I was wearing a unitard." Two guys then walked passed in unitards and gave Jack a thumbs up.

Jack gave them a thumbs up and said, "When your wearing one of those things. Even when you win. You lose." I said, "True." everybody looked at me and I said, "What? Alright my parents had me do gymnastics when I was younger even though I hated it. Moving on."

Milton then said, "You know I just the first spelling bee our school has ever…" Eddie cut him off and said, "Hey show us what you did to win Jack." I thought. 'Yeah it's better then listening to Milton going on about winning the spelling bee.'

Once the principal gave Jack permission he showed us what he did to win. Which was some of the flips that he did for karate. We all cheered, "YEAH!"

The vice principal walked over and said, "Jack. I hope that this means that your going to stay on the gymnastics team." Jack said, "I told you, it was a one time deal. I win you your trophy and you get a little visit from the wedge wizard." Jerry smiled and the vice principal said, "I guess a deals a deal." Jack and the principal shook hands and Jerry said, "Just go with it."

He took baby powder out of his backpack and handed it to him and said, "Hold that for me." I said, "Why don't you just out it on the floor. He clapped his hands together and yelled, "Whoooooooo." The principal let out a girly scream as Jerry gave him a wedgie and in high pitched voice stated, "Is that all you got punk!"

We all laughed as he walked away and then the bell rang. Jack said, "All right let's go. Milton you coming?" Milton replied, "Yeah I'll catch up with you guys in a second."

We then walked away and went to class. After school we were all heading to the dojo. I had run home after school to get my karate stuff because I had forgot it this morning. I met back up with them and Milton was saying, "And at the very last second he caught me. He put me down and walked away. The only thing that I know about him is that his name tag said Yoshi Nakamura." Jack said, "Ehh never noticed him before."

I said, "Well Milton I'm glad your okay. And really Jack really?" Kim said, "Okay hang on. So you didn't notice a 600 pound custodian but you did notice when Donna Tobin changed her pony tail from left to right." I said, "Kim I think it was a braid." Jack said, "It was. It was a French braid. And first it was right to left and third maybe if that custodian had legs Donna Tobin I would of noticed him to."

Kim gave Jack a dirty look and we continued to walk over to the dojo. Rudy then came over to in front of the dojo pulling a wagon. He said, "Hey big news everybody. The magic shop across the mall went out of business. They half to sell everything at half price. I feel so bad for them. I think I'm going to cry."

He then said, "It's a good thing I have this handkerchief." he pretended to cry and did one of the eldest's magic tricks that their was. Jerry said, "Yo I don't know how he's doing that man. But he's freaking me out."

We walked into the dojo and Rudy continued to say, "Anyway since the store closed a storage space opened up in the basket directly below us. I finally have a place for all my stuff."

Eddie said, "It's about time. This place is getting pretty cluttered." Rudy said, "It is not." Kim then said, "Rudy this place looks like a crazy old cat lady lives here." Rudy then said, "Okay that is a bit of an exaggeration." Kim then said, "Really." Then her and myself went over and opened it and all of Rudy's stuff came out including a cat?

I said, "Really Rudy? You have a cat." Rudy said, "That is not my cat." He then walked away with the wagon stopping in front of the cat saying, "Are you coming Tip Tip."

The cat got on the wagon and Rudy pulled it towards his office. After karate practice we all went home since it was late and I went to bed. I woke up really early though to go surfing.

I was in school now wearing my white shirt with a black heart, my jean skirt, my white strap sandals, and one of my braided buns. Jerry said, "Bringing presents to custodians? That's not cool. I mean what's next? Bringing the crossing guard to the prom?" Eddie then said, "I already tried. But she just wants to be friends." Jerry looked at him weird and Kim said, "I think that it's sweet that Milton brought new friend a cake."

I said, "She's right." I then yawned and Kim said, "Why are you yawning?" I said, "Sorry I got up really early to go surfing. The waves were awesome which is why I look like I'm going to collapse."

Milton then said, "Thanks Kim. Thanks Lindsey. See when somebody does something great. You know save a life or win a spelling bee. They deserve some recognition."

He then knocked on the janitors closet and then again. I said, "Milton. I don't think he's there." Jerry said, "Let's just open it." Jerry opened it and we all saw the newspaper clippings and the trophy and said, "Whoa."

Jack then said, "Do you know what this means?" Jerry said, "I know exactly what this means. Our custodian is King of the babies." I said, "No. Yoshi Nakamura. I knew that name was familiar. I learned about him at the White Tiger Dojo."

My friends then said, "You really spent a lot of time their." I said, "I know. Look at the white tiger dojo they select only the ones that they think will be the best and train them form an early age to become champions. And I was chosen. Why do you think I only do Martial arts and surfing. But anyway I think that's he's a champion sumo wrestler or was. We need to look him up online."

We then went to our next class. We walked into the lunch room and were laughing when Jerry then said, "Yo check it out guys. Their it is." Milton said, "Come on." We walked over and he said, "Mr. Nakamura. I just want a thank you for saving my life the other day." Yoshi Nakamura said, "That's what I do. Mop up pudding barf, collect trash, and catch flying boys. I'm living the dream."

Milton then said, "We stopped by your closet and saw your newspaper clippings, trophies, and your medals. Your amazing." Eddie then said, "Then we checked up out on the internet. You were a six time sumo champion."

Jack said, "Yeah the match where you lost your diaper thing and kept fighting that was awesome. And disturbing but mostly awesome." I said, "It was. Do you know Sensei O'Donnell at the White Tiger Dojo?" He said, "Yes. Why do you ask?" I said, "He was my Sensei before I moved here and he was always talking about you."

Nakamura said, "That was a long time ago. I used to be a hero in Japan and know I plunge toilets." He walked over to Jerry and said, "And you. You either change your diet or use the bathroom at home Jerry." Jerry then asked, "Wait you know my name?" Nakamura said, "In the janitors room we call you the bowl."

Jerry then said, "You hear that you guys! I'm the bowl buster whooooo." I grabbed his ear and said, "Stop cheering it isn't worth it and that's disgusting Jerry."

Kim then said, "Sir. I love that awesome victory dance you do. The Nakamura stomp. We all agreed with her and Nakamura said, "It started when I saw a spider in the ring. The crowd loved it so I just ran with it." Eddie then said, "Come on man. Do it for us." Nakamura said, "I couldn't I'm at work." Milton then convinced him by saying, "Please just this once." Nakamura said, "Fine just one for you little body." He then did it and we all fell and the food that the principal was carrying went onto his head and he came over just as we were getting up and said, "Look what you did!"

Nakamura said, "I'm sorry sir. We were just having a little fun." The principal said, "Fun? I didn't hire you to jump around like some hop scotching hippo." Milton then said, "I got this." I whispered to Kim, "This isn't going to end well." She nodded and Milton said, "Mr. Nakamura would like you to talk to him with a little more respect."

The principal said, "So I don't talk to you with respect. Huh." He then took the spaghetti off his head and onto his plate. Nakamura tried to fix it but Milton continued to say, "This man use to be a hero so he doesn't even need this job."

The principal said, "Really?" Nakamura then said, "No I really need the job." Milton then said, "He demands that you apologize to him right now." The principal said, "Really?" Milton nodded and then principal then said, "Here's my apology. Nakamura. YOU'RE FIRED!"

Later that day we were all in the dojo with Nakamura when Milton and Jack walked in and Rudy walked out of his office. Rudy said, "Guys. Group meeting." We all walked over and he said, "Why is weepy Mchugie still here?" I said, "Maybe because this beanpole over here got him fired." Milton said, "HEY!" I said, "It's true." Milton then said, "The guys been through a lot Rudy. We found out why he gave up sumo and left Japan in shame."

Eddie then said, "65 wins in a row. Then rookie struts in and throws him out of the ring like a moldy pear." Nakamura heard Eddie say pear and he said, "You guys holding pears over there."

Kim said, "Theirs no pears darlings," with her southern accent peaking through. Jack then said, "As if that wasn't bad enough. He lost his entire life savings." Rudy said, "Wow. How'd he do that?" Jack replied, "He went on a game show called Are You Willing To Lose Your Life Savings."

Rudy said, "Fix this. Once the food runs out we're going to look tasty to that guy. Fix this." He then walked out and Jack said, "Hey guys I got an idea." I said, "You up to sharing it with the rest of us?" We walked over to Nakamura and said, "Nakamura. Milton was right your not a custodian. You're a champion and with our help you'll be one again."

Nakamura then said, "I told you that was a long time ago. Why do you guys believe in me." I said, "Because we do." Jack then said, "Lindsey. Look we live by something called the Wasabi Code. That means we never give up on each other." I said, "That's what I was trying to saw Jack."

Jack then said, "Sorry. We've just got to find a way to get you back on the horse." Jerry said (Not so lowly), "Ah Jack. It probably be safer if the horse got on his back. But you know either way."

Jack then said, "Wasabi?" We all put our hands in and Nakamura put his hand in and we all said, "Wasabi!" The next day I was sitting in the courtyard petting my Boxer Carter who I had brought with me to the dojo. I was wearing my blue racerback tank top, light blue boot cut jeans, my grey converse sneakers, and I had my hair in a waterfall braid bun.

Eddie said, "Their not back yet?" I said, "Do you see them around here?" Kim said, "Ignore her she's in a bad mode. And Nakamura wanted to run one more lap around the mall with his weight vest." Eddie nodded and said, "Why are you in a bad mode today?" I said, "My father called me last night and said that I was crazy for leaving Florida and that we would never forgive me for it."

Eddie said, "Well that sucks." I said, "Yeah." Carter then put his head on my lap and cried. I petted his head and hugged him. Kim said, "Your dog is so cute."

The others came over and Jack said, "Alright that was your best time yet. You ran around the entire mall in under four minutes." Nakamura released Milton from the harness and Milton said, "Bouncing around in that thing has given me a new respect for Kangaroos."

Rudy then came over and said, "Hey Nakamura. I saw you running through the mall carrying a big pasty baby that looked a lot like Milton." Milton then said, "I'm not pasty. I'm translucent." We walked into the dojo and Jack said, "Nakamura is training for his big come back."

Rudy said, "A comeback sumo match. I bet people would buy tickets for that." Carter by boxer and went over and laid down near the TV and Eddie said, "I paid 5 bucks to watch the Kelly's dog have puppies. I've seen the miracle of life and it's disgusting." I said, "It is not. Wait your right sorry."

Rudy said, "You know we can have the match right here in the dojo." Jack said, "That's great and all. But we don't have another Sumo wrestler for him to compete against."

Rudy then said, "I do." He told us how he met another one. He said, "We stayed in touch. I'll give him a call." We walked onto the mats and I laughed as Jerry came out of the men's changing room. Carter came over and started growling at him and I Said, "Easy boy easy." I grabbed a biscuit from my pocket and threw it over near the TV for him.

Jerry then said, "Alright Nakamura. Time for your real work out. Let's belly up." Jack then said, "Jerry. How's this thing gonna help? You look like a bloated turkey in a thong?" I laughed and said, "He does look like that."

Jerry ignored me and said, "It's gonna make him quicker. I'm scrappy and wiry. Now come on big guy." Jerry charged at Nakamura and he knocked him down with his hands and when Jerry tried to get up he couldn't. He said, "Hey. A little help. Thanks." We helped him up and he ran into the changing room.

Later that day everybody was in the dojo getting ready for the match I was in Rudy's office with Carter trying to calm him down since he wasn't used to being around so many people. When Nakamura came in followed by Jack, Milton and Rudy.

Jack said, "Nakamura you can't hide in here or anywhere." Nakamura said, "I'm not going out there. That's Yamasaki. He's the only one who ever bet me. I can't fight him man."

Kim then came in and opened the door and said, "Guys. We gotta put on a fight. The crowds getting ugly and their were none to pretty to begin with."

Milton then said, "This is all my fault." He then left and closed the door behind him." Jack then said, "Nakamura. Listen to me. You can't be running from this guy your whole life." I said, "He's right we all have people that scare us but we have to face them. I know that you can do it." Nakamura then looked at us and said, "I'm sorry Jack and Lindsey. I just can't go through with this."

Eddie then came in and said, "You guys have to see this your not going to believe it." We all ran out and I closed the door behind us and saw Milton facing Yamasaki. I thought, 'Nice knowing you Milton.'

We all routed for him saying, "Come on Milton." We all saw Nakamura grab Milton and say, "I got this one Milton." Milton said, "Go boy." We all cheered for him as him fought with Yamasaki. In the end Nakamura beat the only one who ever beat him by throwing him out of the ring.

We cheered the loudest out of everyone and went on to the mat to congratulate him. We all gave him high fives and I said, "Congratulations. You did it."

Jerry started chanting, "Nakamura stomp! Nakamura stomp!" We all started cheering and he did it and fell throw the floor.

The next day at school I was wearing my beach tank top, boot cut jeans, my grey converse's, and had I my hair in it's final bun. We we're all talking when Jack said, "Nakamura's heading back to Japan to get his title back." I said, "Good for him." Jerry then said, "I could be a sumo wrestler I just need to gain five- six hundred pounds." Eddie then said, "Your mom did it pretty easily." Jerry then said, "That's it." And started chasing him. Milton then said, "Jack. Lindsey. Have you guys seen my spelling bee trophy. I thought it was in my locker but I can't find it anywhere. I know it's small but it means a lot."

Jack said, "Don't worry Milton. I'm sure it's someplace safe." I said, "Yeah Milton. I've got to get to class bye." I was the only person that Jack had told that we was putting the trophy with the others on the shelf.

Yeah Chapter 4 done. Up next weekend Dummy Dancing. Read & Review.
