Chapter 8
The following hour, the girls were in their tables, having breakfast. Chiyo was still in downtrodden, since the girls' prank on Tenma and her friends was somewhat of a borderline failure.
Tomo then said, "So, it was all for naught?"
Kagura sighed, "So… We must've gotten the wrong underwear."
Osaka shushed, "No. Not in front of the others."
Meanwhile, in the Blue Team's side, Tenma and Yakumo were in shame, as of what the girls on the Red Team did, but they didn't know. However…
Eri said, "Today is the day that we take care of those jerks in Red."
Akira stated, "It's obvious that one of those girls did it. An old cliché in the campground area."
Mikoto barked, "Well, we hope to pay back those guys in the upcoming event."
Akira said, "Next event is the Relay Obstacle Course. We'll get them, even though we got the lead."
Hanai then was in shame, "Still… why would our own opponents get us to be pranked?"
Tenma then jumped up and cried, "All I know is that one little prank isn't stopping us! We'll beat the Blue Team, but by hook or crook!"
"We are the Blue Team," Eri sighed.
Tenma then pointed her crosshairs on Chihiro and Kaorin.
"You hear that, Red Rain of Lames?" She bellowed, "This will become very messy for you!"
She threw a piece of bread onto Kaorin's face. Chihiro gasped, as Tomo got up. She threw a small bowl of oatmeal at Tenma. She ducked and hit Harima.
"Oh, crap!" She cried out, "Not on that guy. Oh, my poor Kenji…"
Eri snapped, "Your Whiskers?"
She threw a plate of pancakes at her, splattering all over Osaka & Chiyo. Karasuma did nothing, as Yomi threw an orange at the back of his head.
"KARASUMA!" Tenma cried.
Chiyo then threw a piece of egg into Yakumo's face.
"TENMA'S SISTER!" Harima shouted.
He threw a glass of milk onto Yomi, but Tomo stopped him, by getting in front of her.
"MILK! YAY!" She cheered.
At that moment, both teams, excluding Sakaki, Yakumo, and Karasuma got up and held a piece of food in their hands.
Tomo hollered:
FOOD FIGHT!
And thus, the firing began. Food was flying everywhere. Tomo was plastered by a plate of pancakes, Tenma got splutted in the chest with some oatmeal, Harima and Eri shared a bowl of cereal in their heads, and Akira was hit by an apple.
Suddenly, the whistle blew. Yukari had an idea.
"Hey, guys!" She cheered, "I got an idea! Continue the food fight!"
Nyamo then stated, "If you are going to act like babies in the cafeteria, at the very least, make it a competition."
She then announced, "Feel free to get plastered by food, as long as you want. Remember, it doesn't matter who or what gets the most hits; it's how messy you can be. The one who is the least messiest, at the end of one hour, will win for their team."
Yukari then called, "YO! We need more breakfast foods!"
The cooks began to cook, as Nyamo blew the whistle.
"GO!" She cried, as they continued the food fight.
Itoko growled, "Why in the hell are you doing this?"
Nyamo grabbed Yukari's ear and snapped, "Blame her!"
Yukari cried, "We're running out of ideas for events! When I heard the food fight signal, we better try it out and improvise."
Nakamura then addressed, "A bold move, Miss Tanizaki, but we'll take it from here."
He signaled to Masaru and said, "Masaru, help out the others in the kitchen, while the event continues."
Masaru left, as Itoko sighed, "I hope you know what you're doing."
Yukari sighed, "I hope we'll get a shower, after this…"
SPLAT!
Eggs smacked into Yukari's face. She shouted, "HEY, WATCH IT!"
Nyamo laughed, as the fighting continued.
"Why you…" Yomi growled, as she threw a plate of eggs at Harima.
Harima was splattered in breakfast food, while Tenma and Yakumo teamed up and splashed a cup of milk into Chiyo and Osaka.
"I'm beginning to hate Tsukamoto," Chiyo griped.
Kagura then grabbed a handful of bacon and threw it at Tomo.
"Wrong move, idiot!" Tomo shouted.
Nakamura said, "This calls for the real deal of comedic styles."
He called to Masaru, "Bring in the cream puffs!"
Five trays of cream puffs rolled in, as they all saw the soon-to-be projectiles. They were pre-made.
"Now we're talking!" Mikoto cheered.
Eri snuffed, "Oh, brother."
SPLAT!
She gets a face full of cream puff. Mikoto threw one at Hanai. Her aim was way off.
"SUO!" He screamed.
The girls threw continuously at Hanai's head, dropping his glasses. Sakaki then tossed it towards Akira, but she gets her face covered. Kaorin and Chihiro joined. They threw it at her, who was still standing.
"Akira?" Tenma asked.
Tomo threw a pastry at Eri and Karasuma, Mikoto threw one at Osaka, Chiyo aimed for Tenma, but it fell into Yomi's hair. She turned around and threw a pastry at Tomo.
"Why you idiot!"
SPLUT!
Tomo gets messy.
"Yomi…" she growled.
"Get her!" Kagura shouted.
Tomo, Yomi, Kagura, Kaorin, Chihiro, and Yomi fired at each other. Only Sakaki, Chiyo, and Osaka focused on the blue team.
Chiyo glared and smirked evilly, "Now's our chance."
Sakaki aimed at Akira and Harima, as Chiyo focused on Tenma. Sakaki successfully landed a blow, of creamy proportions, on each member, but Chiyo's small throwing arm and weak power ended up missing Tenma.
"DARN IT!" She growled, as Tenma threw at Chiyo-Chan. Of course, Tenma's power was impressive, except…
SPLAT!
Her accuracy sucked.
"Uh… oh…"
Her cream puff hit landed on Yukari. She was livid. Everyone stopped fighting.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Yukari was ballistic! She grabbed a cream puff, each time, and threw it like she was a machine gun or a pitching machine.
"YUKARI! STOP!" Nyamo pleaded.
She didn't listen.
XXXXX
An hour had passed… and everyone, including the teachers and adults, were covered in food stuffs. Nyamo then examined everybody, who was in line. She then made her decision.
"Winner! The Blue Team!" she cheered.
Why did they win? Karasuma… Because he was the least messy, except with some cream puff marks, an egg in his hair, and he was splattered by an orange and pastry. Everyone else was messed up in cream.
Nyamo then announced, "Now that we have finished, it's time to move on to our next event! We'll begin in two hours…"
Itoko groaned, "And for goodness sake, get cleaned up…"
They all left, feeling dejected and messy.
Eri griped, "Tomo started it."
Tomo snuffed, "Did not!"
An hour later, Tenma was putting her clothes on. Chiyo was spying on her, learning what she has in store, next.
"Tenma…" she said, "I promise you… Vengeance will be mine. I am so glad that you don't have time to practice…"
She asked the teachers that Tenma can compete for the Blue Team, in the remaining events, earlier. It worked.
"I know that Tenma Tsukamoto has no skill in athletics," she said, "All I need to do is sabotage her in the final five events. If we win them all, we'll have bested her."
She was right. The score was 18 to 12 and Tenma is a sucky player. The remaining events were the Relay Obstacle Course, the Egg Shot Put, the Surfing Contest, the Talent Show, and the all-team Camp Run. What Chiyo-Chan knew is that with Tenma in every event, she's a shoo-in for her team to win; but what she didn't know is that the Egg Shot Put, the Camp Run, and the Talent Show were all-team events. With Tenma in every event, revenge is finally hers.
XXXXX
Except…
"So, at the Camp Run, we should have like one lap around the woods." Nyamo suggested.
Yukari then asked, "Chiyo-Chan is so thoughtful, since she added Miss Tsukamoto in every event remaining. Is this even right?"
Itoko then snuffed, "Sorry. But that's our business to decide on who's who on which event."
Yukari asked, "What? How?"
Itoko then smirked, "Perhaps we should change the rules. We don't need a pre-teen prodigy telling us what to do."
She then suggested that the teams must choose between their own for the two events (The Relay Course and the Surfing Contest). But, Nyamo made a very huge announcement.
"Well, seeing that Chiyo-Chan was so desperate, maybe we should have an extra event, between who would choose who," she said.
Itoko grinned evilly, "I hear you…"
Blue Team 18, Red Team 12, after 7 events

What is Itoko talking about? What is this thirteenth event? Will Chiyo-Chan's plan be all for naught? The next five (plus one) events begin in the next chapter.
