Forget About It: Part 2
(BGM: Left Hand Suzuki Method by Gorillaz)
It had been a few hours since the group of 15 started smoking Takemi's weed in an attempt to forget that they had ever watched Chapped Lip Jun. It had become nightfall and everyone was stoned out of their minds. Their eyes colored a bright pink and their overall demeanor was much more relaxed and laid back when compared to how they were earlier that day. Ren was seen sitting in between Ann and Ryuji on the couch in Ichiro's treehouse.
"I…I…uh…huh," Ren said, trying to think past the drug induced haze, "Does anybody remember the thing we were supposed to forget?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, man," Ryuji said, "All I can think about is how comfy this couch is. What's this stuff made out of? Uh…they took clouds. They took clouds and stuffed them into some cushions."
"Yo, Renny, Jiji," Ann said to her two friends as she pointed at Yuuki, who was laying on the floor in front of them, not moving with his eyes wide open, "Peep Yuuki over there. Is he, is, is, is he alive?"
"I don't know," Ryuji said, "Hey, Mishy! Ignore us if you're alive!"
Yuuki didn't say anything. He just continued to lay on the floor in a comatose state.
"I'm gonna see if this bastard's alive," Ryuji said as he flopped down on the floor and crawled over to the blue haired man and rubbed his crotch. Ryuji is so high he forgot where the pulse is usually located. Seeing this made Ann and Ren snicker.
As that was going on, Shiho was sitting in the corner of the treehouse waving her hands in front of her face. In her stoned mind, her hands were creating afterimages as they moved.
"Oh, guys, come take a look at this," Shiho said, "Check out my hands, dude! They move so fast! I have the reflexes of a cat. Oh, I'm gonna surpass being a volleyball ace with speed like this. Imma be a volleyball supergod!"
In the part of the room that had the keg, Sumire and Makoto were watching Ichiro bathe himself with the pink lemonade inside the keg. Fortunately, the male gymnast still had his clothes on, but unfortunately for him, in the next few minutes, his clothes are going to be feeling very sticky.
"Pink lemonade bath!" Ichiro said as he sprayed the keg over his head and under his armpits, "Ain't nothing like it!"
"Hey, when we run out of that pink stuff, someone should go to the store…and then…and then buy some chocolate milk so we can bathe in chocolate milk!" Sumire suggested.
"Sumi…that is the best idea I've heard all night," Makoto said.
In another part of the treehouse, Daisuke is leaning against the wall with Morgana standing next to him.
"Man, I am stoned right now," Daisuke said, "On God, I think I can smell shapes. This that shit that killed 3Pack (Tupac A.K.A 2Pac)
"Who's 3Pack?" Morgana asked the teen standing next to him.
"GAH!" Daisuke exclaimed. The effects of the drug was so great that he could actually understand Morgana, "Oh shit, a talking kitty! That's fucking amazing man!"
Daisuke got down on Morgana's level so he could talk to him some more.
"Where you from Mr. Kitty? Do you like me?" Daisuke asked as he laid on his stomach on the treehouse floor, kicking his feet like a teenage girl talking to her friends on the phone.
"Back off man," Morgana said.
In another part of the treehouse, Futaba is standing on top of a table as Yusuke and Haru watch her.
"Let's do the fork in the garbage disposal!" Futaba said, "Let's do the fork in the garbage disposal! DING, DING, DING, DING-DING, DING, DING-DING, DING! DING, DING, DING, DING-DING, DING, DING-DING, DING!"
Futaba spun around on the tabletop as she flailed her arms in the air. Yusuke and Haru spun around with their arms in the air along with her, shouting 'DING, DING, DING!' all the while.
In yet another part of the treehouse, Hayato is laughing as he's hanging upside down from a support branch as he looks at Hifumi below him.
"Hey, Fumi, baby," Hayato said, "How-How did you get up there, babe? How are you staying upside down like that, man? Are you part vampire and you didn't tell me, boo?"
"Oh, Hay-Hay, you're so silly," Hifumi giggled.
"Whoa! Hey, doll, where's Yusuke?" Hayato asked, "I got to tell him about this amazing discovery I made. A color I've never seen before. It's like orange, mixed with lime green, mixed with like, hot pink! It's so beautiful! I don't even think it's on the color wheel, babe! I'm so lucky to be the first one to discover such an enigmatic color."
"Dude, you're tripping, babe!" Hifumi said.
(End BGM)
"Yo, yo, yo!" Ren said as he stood up, "Can I have everybody's attention please!"
All eyes were on Ren as he began to talk. But what the raven haired young man didn't know was that his back was turned to his friends so he was talking to a wall.
"It's no secret that this stuff Takemi gave me is legit," Ren said, "I don't know about y'all, but I can't even remember…uh…my whole life right now."
"Yeah, we're pretty 'zooted' dude," Daisuke said, "Like, we are playing 'Ring Around the Rosie' with the Hubble Telescope right now. That's how high we all are."
"You want to talk about high? Look at old blue over there," Ann said pointing to the comatose Yuuki, "He is, like, zooted…more than anyone should be zooted right now."
Everyone looked at Yuuki as he continued to lay there, eyes open, still not saying or doing anything.
"Yo, Yuuki!" Futaba shouted, "Mi amor! My brother in Christ! You are in another dimension, my boy!"
"Who is he, your brother, your son, or your boyfriend?" Hayato asked as he was still hanging upside down, "Make up your mind you freakin' ginger!"
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" Futaba yelled over to the scarlet haired young man.
Suddenly, they see Yusuke randomly punching himself in the face before slamming himself onto the floor and into walls multiple times. The group was silently chuckling to themselves as the young artist literally beat himself up.
"Yusuke, you silly goose," Haru giggled, "What are you doing?"
"I'm kicking my ass, do you mind!?" Yusuke responded.
"Alright, people, let's focus our attention back on this good boi here," Ryuji said as he brought everyone's attention back towards Yuuki, "Look at him! He is in another dimension right now! He is looking into the Eyes of Eternity! He is seeing the past, present, and future right now, fam, like all at once! He is talking to God, right now, dudes! His body is here but his mind and spirit have transcended time and space. We're here in the 21st century, but this blue haired motherfucker is over there in the 24th and ½ century."
"Okay, Jiji, I think you made your point, shut the fuck up" Ann said, "We…hmm…we need to something right now. I'm losing my mind just sitting here and doing nothing."
"Hey, beautiful," Ren said as he started nuzzling her neck, "If you're bored and looking for something to do…why don't you do me?"
"You know what, I will take that offer," Ann said before looking over at Ichiro, "Yo, can this hunk and me go into your house so we can get funky?"
"Whatever, man," Ichiro said as he squirted some pink lemonade into his mouth, "Just don't mess my sheets. Condoms are in the medicine cabinet in the downstairs bathroom."
"Sweet," Ann said before addressing everyone present, "Anybody want to join us? Any takers?"
Everyone was so high that they just stared at Ren and Ann with emotionless, listless expressions. At this point, Hayato fell down from the support branch and hit the floor with a thud.
"Tee-hee-hee," Hayato chuckled, "I go boom!"
"Okay everybody here hates fun," Ann said before turning to her boyfriend, "Alright, let's go inside the house and have some fun, big boy!"
"High five!" Ren said as he and Ann shared a high five.
"You know what, Daisuke and I are going to join you guys, forget it," Shiho said.
"Yeah it's getting boring in here," Daisuke chimed in.
"Alright, we've got a ball game!" Ren cheered as he led Ann, Shiho, and Daisuke out of the treehouse and into Ichiro's house, "Watch Morgana while we're gone, okay?"
"You can count on us, my boy!" Hayato said as the group of four left the treehouse to start their little lovefest.
"They're going to mess up my sheets, just wait," Ichiro said bluntly.
"Hey, I-I'm getting kind of hungry," Makoto said, "What do we have to eat in this dump?"
"Fuck you, this treehouse is not a dump," Ichiro scolded.
"Don't yell at my bae like that, dumbass!" Ryuji shouted.
"Boys, boys, chill the eff out," Sumire said, "This is a place of love. Let's not fight. But Mak-Attack is right, I am getting a little hungry myself."
"Alright, who's going to be the GOAT and go on a food run?" Hayato asked as he got up from his fall.
Nobody would volunteer. So, Futaba came up with the perfect idea to decide who should go on the food run for them.
"How about we play a little game to decide who goes on this food run?" Futaba said as everyone, sans Yuuki who was still comatose, listened in. Futaba gave a smile before shouting out, "LAP DANCE CONTEST! One of you will do a little lap dance for your insignificant other. First two to get nosebleeds, gets the food."
"Oh, I like the sound of that," Morgana smiled.
"Still there's one little catch," Futaba said, "I'll decide who dances. And I say the dancers should be Ryuji, Haru, Sumire, and Hayato. You four will dance for your respective boo, and then we'll see how soon Makoto, Yusuke, Ichiro, and Hifumi noses turn into blood geysers."
"Sounds good," Haru smiled.
"Okay, everyone get into position," Futaba said.
Makoto, Hifumi, Yusuke, and Ichiro took a seat on the couch as their respective significant others stood in front of them.
"Futaba," Ichiro said, "Go to my stereo and put on something lively."
"Got it, bro-tato chip!" Futaba said as she walked over to the stereo and turned on some music.
(BGM: Dilemma by Nelly)
"This'll work," Ichiro said with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Alright, dancers," Futaba said, "Lose them tops!"
The four dancers unclothed their top halves in a matter of seconds. Haru and Sumire took off their shirts and their bras, allowing their breasts to bounce free. Meanwhile, Ryuji and Hayato whipped their shirts off, allowing their lean and strong torsos to breathe. The four on the couch all nearly lost right then and there when they saw their shirtless lovers.
"We're in trouble," Hifumi said.
"Think about dead kittens and old nuns, Ichiro," Ichiro said to himself, "Really old nuns."
Before either of them knew it, their lovers were dancing and grinding right on top of them. Makoto eyed Ryuji's muscular pectorals and six pack abs and she reached out to touch them before he stepped away, causing Makoto to pout.
"No, no, fam," Ryuji teased, "You can look, but don't touch."
Seeing this gave Hayato an idea.
"You can touch me baby girl," Hayato said as he turned around and teasingly shook his butt, which to Hifumi, looked perfect in the pants he was wearing, "Go ahead and give it a good spank. I won't mind."
Without hesitation, Hifumi gave a good smack to her scarlet haired boyfriend's marshmallow butt, causing him to let out a delighted mewl. Hayato turned back to face his girlfriend, a deep blush and silly grin on his face.
"Mmm, good girl," Hayato purred.
As the lap dance contest continued, Futaba was still standing near the stereo and dancing to the beat of the music.
"Yeah, keep those jams coming, daddy-o," Futaba said in a laid back tone.
Meanwhile, Yuuki continued laying in the middle of the floor in a drug induced coma.
"I can't believe Mishima is missing this," Morgana said as he stood next to him, watching the show, "This stuff is hot!"
With Sumire and Ichiro, the red haired gymnast was rubbing her C-Cup breasts against her boyfriends chest.
"Do you like this, baby?" Sumire asked in a seductive tone.
"Oh you know it, hot stuff," Ichiro purred before Sumire moved back to grind against him a bit more, her breasts bouncing in sync with her movements. While still eyeing Sumire's hot, athletic body, Ichiro successfully fought off a nosebleed "Self control, Ichiro, self control."
Finally, we cut to Yusuke and Haru. The floofy haired girl was grinding against her blue haired lover as he was using all of his strength to fight off a nosebleed. Haru saw this and gave a naughty little smile before pushing her delicious E-Cup breasts into Yusuke's face.
That did it!
Before Haru knew it, she felt a wet and sticky fluid come out of Yusuke's nose, landing on her cleavage. She moves away from him to see that Yusuke got a nosebleed, with some of the blood getting on his face and her breasts.
"Oof, looks like Yusuke bites the dust," Morgana said.
"Holy crap, Daisuke was right!" Ichiro said, briefly taking his attention away from his girlfriend, "That cat can talk!"
With Haru and Yusuke out, that meant there were three couples left in the competition. Ryuji, Hayato, and Sumire were still dancing and grinding on their respective lovers like there was no tomorrow. Makoto, Ichiro, and Hifumi were struggling to hold in their respective nosebleeds. But when Hayato started nuzzling Hifumi's neck, that's what set her off.
The next thing Hayato felt was Hifumi's nose blood getting squirted onto the side of his face. Hifumi lets out a sigh of defeat as the lap dance contest ends.
(End BGM)
"Phew, that was close," Makoto sighed.
"It's all about self control, my dudes," Ichiro said.
With the contest over, Ryuji and Sumire covered their top halves back up. Hayato and Haru cleaned the nose blood off of themselves before covering up their top halves as well.
"And that's all she wrote," Futaba said as she rejoined the group, "Alright Yusuke and Hifumi, you two are tonight's big time losers. Now go get the food!"
"Fine, but you can be a little nicer, bitch!" Hifumi snapped.
"Damn, babe, you get aggressive when you're high," Hayato said, "Anyway, I think I'm going to come with you. I feel bad for making you lose."
"Aww, Hay-Hay, you don't have to," Hifumi smiled.
"I know, but I want to 'cause I love you," Hayato said.
Without warning, Hayato and Hifumi begin making out. As they did, the young Shogi player leapt into her boyfriend's arms as she wrapped her arms and legs around him.
"Alright, break it up you two," Makoto snapped as Hayato and Hifumi stopped their tongue wrestling match, "I want my food!"
"Morgana, go with them to make sure they don't make out anymore," Ryuji said to the cat.
"I got you, fam!" Morgana said as he joined the three Kosei students by the door.
"Alright, what specifically do you all want?" Yusuke asked.
"Hmm," Makoto went before naming off a laundry list of food items, "Get some potato chips. Any flavor will do. Oh, and some corn chips with hot, spicy salsa. Some ramen noodles. Get some buttered popcorn, and beef jerky, and peanut butter and jelly. Get some salted pretzels, a whole charcuterie board, and some carrot sticks with ranch dressing for dipping. Go find some funnel cake, some sliders and pizza, and corn dogs, pigs in a blanket, and hot dogs-"
"GLIZZY!" Ryuji cheered before Makoto continued.
"Yeah what he said," Makoto said before continuing, "Get some cakes. You know birthday cake, chocolate cake, angel food cake, cupcakes, all kinds of cake. I'm talking about cake, cake, cake, cake, cake. But also get some healthy shit like apples, oranges, pears, grapes, and rice cakes. Back onto some unhealthy shit, get mozzarella sticks, macaroni and cheese, ravioli, some ice cream, gummy worms, and some chocolate bars with marshmallows, and graham crackers so we can make smores. Go find some eggs and paprika so we can make some deviled eggs. Cereal, all kinds of cereal with some milk. And get those Mistress Snacks (Hostess). You know, like Winkies, Bing Bongs, and He-Hes (Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho-Hos). And we also gotta get some drinks, so get lots of water, some lemonade, some soda, and see if you can get beer. I'm sure there's some store out there who will give it to underage kids."
"Alright, I think we can swing that," Hayato said, "Will that be all?"
"Yeah, if you go that mini-mart on the corner can you get me some trail mix and a yo-yo?" Haru asked.
"Whatever," Hayato said.
"Hang on, before you guys take off some of the things are, like, 'microwavy'. Let me see if Ren can hook us up when we're done," Ichiro said before going over to the treehouse window to call for his friend, "HEY REN!"
Inside the house, a shirtless Ren appeared by a window to see what his friend wanted.
"What do you want, pink lemonade man, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now?" Ren shouted back.
"Well when you're done can you bring in our microwave from the kitchen?" Ichiro said, "And maybe the toaster oven too?"
"You got it, dude!" Ren said as Ann, Shiho, and even Daisuke's hands pulled him back inside, "Oh, I'm wanted elsewhere! I'll talk to you later!"
Ren shut the window and closed the curtain before doing whatever it was he was doing with his girlfriend and two friends.
"Alright, y'all can go get the stuff now," Ichiro said, "You guys can take my bike and hook Hayato's baby wagon to it so you can carry all the food."
"Fantabulous," Hifumi said.
"Moto-bots, roll out!" Morgana said as he followed the three Kosei students out of the treehouse.
"Well they're going to be gone for a while," Futaba said, "What do you y'all want to do now?"
Ichiro looked to see they had some more of Takemi's weed in the bag that Ren had left. He smiled as he got an idea.
"You guys want to roll up some more blunts while we play Cry of Loyalty (Call of Duty)?" Ichiro asked.
"Boss!" Ryuji said as he and his five friends gathered around the T.V to play their video game.
Sometime later, Hayato, Yusuke, and Hifumi are seen in another part of the neighborhood riding Ichiro's bike to the store to get the food. Morgana is walking next to them the whole time. Hayato is pedaling the bike while Hifumi rides on the handlebars and Yusuke is riding in the red wagon that's hooked up to the back of the bike. As the trio rode, they were listening and singing along to music on Hayato's phone.
Hayato: I love it when you call me 'Big Poppa!'
Yusuke & Hifumi: Throw your hands in the air if yous a true player.
Hayato: I love it when you call me 'Big Poppa!'
Yusuke & Hifumi: To the honeys getting money, playing n****s like dummies!
Hayato: I love it when you call me 'Big Poppa!'
Yusuke & Hifumi: You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place. Why?
Hayato: (Briefly cuddles next to Hifumi) 'Cause I see a lady tonight, that should be having my baby, baby!
The three teens and one cat continue on their way to the store until they come across a declivity in the road. Hayato stops the bike and the four of them stare down at the bottom of the hill they were on.
"Why'd we stop? Are we there?" Yusuke asked.
"No, Yu-Yu," Hayato said, "We're on a hill that's going…down. If we keep going gravity is going to bend us over and make us its bitch. Ain't Hay-Hay ain't no bitch!"
"Damn skippy, baby," Hifumi said.
"Well we gotta get down there," Yusuke said, "You want me to drive the bike?"
"No, I got this, boy-o," Hayato said, "I just gotta take it slow."
"I don't trust you, man, let me handle this," Yusuke said.
"Uh, hello, what about me?" Hifumi asked, "Let me drive it down."
"No, I don't trust you either," Yusuke said, "Anyone who is not me I don't trust in going down this hill."
"Maybe you need someone with small paws to grab the handlebars," Morgana said, "Like me!"
With that, Morgana leapt up onto the bike, startling Hayato into moving the bike just a few inches. But those few inches was exactly what gravity needed to propel the three teenagers and one cat downwards. Before either of them knew it, they were careening down the hill as top speeds. They were going so fast, Hayato couldn't keep his feet on the pedals because they were moving too quickly. Eventually, the four of them crashed into a brick wall, wrecking Ichiro's bike and detaching the wagon from the back of it.
Hifumi was the first to get up on her feet and she saw the wreckage of her friend's bike.
"Aw, fuck!" Hifumi shouted, "Ichiro's gonna kill us!"
She then looked over at the wagon to see that it was still in an acceptable condition.
"At least the wagon's okay," Hifumi said as she put it back on its wheels and grabbed the handle, "Yu-Yu, Hay-Hay, Mo-Mo, let's go-go!"
When she turned back around, she saw Yusuke and Hayato running around like chickens with their heads cut off and Morgana was just watching them.
"I'm running so fast!" Yusuke shouted, "I think I can go back in time if I wanted to! Woo! I have so much energy! I've never felt anything like this before!"
"Me too, man!" Hayato concurred, "I have so much energy, I can do a flip!"
And just like that, Hayato executed a perfect backflip before he continued running around like a maniac. Morgana turned around to face Hifumi.
"You go get the food," Morgana said, "I'll keep an eye on these two."
"Whoa!" Exclaimed Hifumi, "Oh, you can talk! That is amazing!"
"Just get the damn food, crazy girl," Morgana muttered.
"Aye, aye, captain!" Hifumi said as she continued to the store with the red wagon and Morgana continued to watch Yusuke and Hayato lose their minds. As she walked off, Hifumi was singing, "Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound."
Back at Ichiro's treehouse, Ichiro, Sumire, and Haru were watching Makoto and Futaba face off in Cry of Loyalty. Unsurprisingly, Futaba won.
"Ha, ha! I'm the champion, bitches!" Futaba boasted.
"Aw, fluffernutter," Makoto pouted, "Ryuji, you want a turn?"
Everyone looked to find Ryuji on top of the still comatose Yuuki as he held a dirty magazine in front of his face.
"Lord almighty, bestow upon this human the wisdom of porn!" Ryuji said.
"Ryuji, you son of a bitch, how'd you find my collection of dirty magazines?!" Ichiro shouted before getting his foot stomped on by Sumire, "I deserve that!"
"Sorry, guys, but I don't like how Mishima is just laying there," Ryuji said, "He's plotting something. He's waiting until all of our guards are down so he can do something…really…really…screwy!"
"Never mind him, Ryuji," Makoto said, "It's your turn to play."
"Nah, I don't feel like it," Ryuji said, "I want to do something different."
"Like what?" Haru asked.
"Let me ask," Ryuji said, taking a breath before continuing, "Do either of you like 90s television?"
His five friends look at each other before looking back at Ryuji with a smile.
Announcer: Fresh out the box! Stop! Look and watch! Ready yet? Get set! It's All That!
(The silhouettes of Ryuji, Makoto, Haru, Ichiro, Futaba, Sumire, and Yuuki are all that you see before a light illuminates them when the Announcer stops talking)
Singers: Oh, oh, oh! This is All That! This is All That! (Check it! Check it! Check it!)
(Futaba holds up a cue card that reads 'Oh!' before we cut to Ryuji and Yuuki, who was somehow able to regain consciousness for this short while, playing with a ball against a wall. The next thing we see is Makoto peeking around a curtain before we see her jumping in the air and breaking out into a dance)
Singers: Now this is just an introduction before I blow your mind. The show is All of That and yes we do it all the time. So sit your booty on the floor or in a chair. Ground or in the air, just don't go nowhere.
(Haru is seen standing atop a mountain, holding her arms in the air before we cut to the floofy haired girl jumping in the air as well. Next we see Sumire doing a flip and jumping up before we cut to the red haired gymnast peeking out behind a curtain)
Singers: 'Cause everything we do (It's all that!) When entertaining you (We all that!) My posse and my crew (It's all that!) So sit still 'cause we're coming right back!
(Ryuji leaps skyward and does a jump kick before we see him spin around and do some dance moves. We then cut to Futaba who is bopping to the beat of the music before she jumps up high and does a split)
Singers: Oh, oh, oh! This is All That! This is All That!
(Ichiro does a few break dance moves before jumping up and catching a frisbee and throwing it back towards whoever threw it. We then see the now conscious Yuuki peek his head from behind a curtain, jumping up, and doing a little dance for everyone)
Singers: Oh, oh, oh! This is All That! This is All That!
(Ryuji and Yuuki high five each other by the wall they were playing ball next to before we cut to the group of seven hugging and high fiving each other as the curtain falls on them)
After that bit of randomness, Ryuji, Makoto, Haru, Ichiro, Sumire, and Futaba regroup on the couch, laughing gleefully all the while.
"Okay, Ryu, that was fun," Sumire smiled.
"You can't beat the classics," Ryuji smirked as he gave a thumbs up.
"What I found most amazing is that Mishima actually regained consciousness for all of that," Haru said before she and the rest of her friends look over at the blue haired teen, who is back to being in a comatose state on the floor, "And now he's back to being a vegetable."
"Ah, leave him," Futaba said with a wave of her hand, "Let's just go back to our game."
The group goes back to playing Cry of Loyalty, this time it's Sumire vs. Haru. Ichiro looks around the treehouse with a paranoid look on his face.
"I don't know how legal this stuff is in this city," Ichiro said, "But just in case the fuzz surrounds this treehouse, I just want to let everyone know…" he reaches underneath the couch and pulls out a pair of nunchucks, "I'm prepared to fight my way out of here."
"That's great, babe," Sumire said, her drug induced mind focused on the game.
"Where the hell are those guys with our food?" Makoto asked in an annoyed tone.
We cut to Hifumi who is walking up to where she left Morgana, Yusuke, and Hayato, pulling a wagon full of everything Makoto asked for. When she got there, she still found the cat watching her boyfriend and his blue haired cohort running around like mad.
"So they're still at it, eh?" Hifumi asked.
"Yup," Morgana said.
"I am Negro Jesus, watch me fly!" Hayato shouted, despite not even being black, as he ran fast before leaping in the air. Unfortunately for him, he ended up landing right into an open manhole cover that lead to the sewer.
"Oh my God, the street ate Hay-Hay!" Hifumi cried as she, Morgana, and Yusuke walked up to the manhole.
"Dude, are you alright?" Yusuke asked.
"I found the guacamole!" Hayato said as he emerged from the sewer, now reeking of human waste. But interestingly enough, since they were high, Hifumi, Yusuke, and Morgana didn't seem to notice or care.
"Glad you're alright, cutie," Hifumi smiled, "Now come on! I got everything that we need! Let's get back to the treehouse!"
"Right behind you!" Hayato said as the foursome make their way back to Ichiro's treehouse.
(BGM: Family Affair by Mary J. Blige)
Back at Ichiro's Treehouse, the seven teens were having a dance party. As everyone danced, Futaba had Yuuki's limp body in her arms as she danced.
"Oh, Yuuki," Futaba swooned as she dipped her motionless boyfriend, "You dance divinely."
"Yeah, buddy, this shit is my jam!" Ryuji shouted.
As everyone danced, Ren, Ann, Shiho, and Daisuke finally came back into the treehouse from inside Ichiro's house. Their faces looked rather flushed and sweaty, and they had the microwave and toaster oven in tow.
"Okay, you guys, we never speak about what went down in Ichiro's room," Ren said to the three behind him.
"I don't know what you're talking about, dude," Daisuke said as Ann and Shiho shush him.
"Ay, look who finally decided to come back," Ichiro said, "And I see you brought the microwave and toaster oven! You four rock for this! You four are straight G's, my man! I love you four!"
"It was nothing, Ichiro," Shiho said as she entered the house with her two friends and boyfriend and they hooked up the microwave and toaster oven.
"There we go, all hooked up," Ichiro said confidently, "Now we just need to wait for the food to arrive and this party can really be in full swing."
As if on cue, Yusuke, Morgana, Hayato, and Hifumi bust into the treehouse with the food, eliciting cheers from the rest of their friends.
"Special delivery," Hayato said.
"Aw, yeah, baby," Futaba exclaimed, "Time to pig out!"
"Grab some food everybody and let's party!" Ichiro shouted.
(End BGM)
(BGM: I Wish by Skee-Lo)
What ensues is a montage that shows the group of 15 (technically 14 because of Yuuki's condition) having a wicked awesome party.
Moment #1: Everyone is dancing and singing along to the music as they gorge themselves on all of the food that the Kosei Students and Morgana brought.
Moment #2: Ryuji and Ichiro drawing on Yuuki's face with marker while he's in his stupor.
Moment #3: Haru and Yusuke 'shotgunning' cans of soda while Futaba is eating straight from a box of cereal.
Moment #4: Ann and Daisuke giving Ren and Shiho respectively lap dances of their own. Both Ren and Shiho are shown getting nosebleeds as a result.
Moment #5: Everyone is having a turn riding the treehouse zipline down. They're usually striking a funny pose or making a funny face on their way down. At one point, Ryuji is hanging on the zipline upside down by his feet.
Moment #6: Sumire is showing everyone her skills at juggling. She's currently juggling a jar of peanut butter, a video game controller, Morgana, and a can of lemonade. Everyone is awestruck by her skills.
Moment #7: Everyone is taking turns riding down the treehouse stairs on the little red wagon.
Moment #8: Everyone is taking turns playing on Ichiro's tire swing. In one instance, they put the drugged out Yuuki on it, but since he wasn't holding on he got flung off the swing, went flying through the air, hit the fireman pole and slid down it, hitting the ground with a thud.
Moment #9: Everyone is taking turns 'ghost riding the whip' with the Tanaka Family car. When Haru has her turn, she's dancing with the yo-yo Hifumi gave her from the store, and Ichiro is doing tricks with his nunchucks during his turn.
Moment # 10: Everyone is watching Futaba play through Black Spirits (Dark Souls). Naturally the game kicks her ass numerous times to the point where the orange haired gamer girl throws the controller against the wall, only for it to bounce back and hit her in the face.
The montage ends with the group, again, with the exception of Yuuki, gathered around the stereo as they sang along to the music.
"I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her. I wish I had a rabbit in the hat with a bat and a '64 Impala!"
"WOULD YOU KIDS SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Shouted a voice from outside the treehouse.
(Record scratch as BGM ends)
Ichiro shut the music off and he went to look and see who said that. Turns out it was one of his neighbors.
"It's 3 A-M, some of us are trying to sleep!" The neighbor shouted.
"Aw crap," Ichiro said glumly as he turned towards his friends, "Guys we gotta shut the fuck up now. The neighbors are trying to sleep."
"Sleep, eh," Ryuji said feigning innocence, "I guess we'd better keep it down then. Or…'
And with that, Ryuji put his hand in his armpit and started making 'armpit fart' noises, much to the enjoyment of everyone around him.
"I can make some noise too, bro, watch," Daisuke said as he started to beatbox, and Shiho and Futaba started to dance along to the beat.
"I said a hip, hop, a-hippie, a-hippie, to the hip hop, you don't stop the rock!" Shiho said.
"I'm young, a Jap, rich and famous," Futaba said, "I got ten dollars hanging from my anus."
Soon, everyone started making their own noises, armpit farts, beat boxing, laughter, screams of horror, and at one point someone randomly moaned out, 'OH, HARDER DADDY!' As the teens continued to be a nuisance, the neighbor just went back into his house, giving a grunt of anger as he shut the window.
As everyone just laughed at what had just occurred, Ren was feeling hungry so he walked over to the pile of food in the room. As he approached the pile, he saw Morgana eating from a can of ravioli.
"Ravioli, ravioli, what's in the pocket-oli?" Morgana gleefully said.
Ren searched through the pile until he grabbed a box of 'Bing-Bongs'. He reached in the box and pulled out a lone Bing Bong. Unfortunately for him, Ryuji notices.
"Is that the last, Bing Bong?" Ryuji asked.
"Yeah," Ren responded.
"Why should you have it?" Ryuji asked.
"I just grabbed it, I don't care."
"If you don't care then let me have it," Ryuji said.
"It's already in my hands, so no," Ren said before.
"Guys," Ryuji whined to his friends, "Ren has the last Bing Bong and he won't let me have it!"
"The last Bing Bong?" Futaba asked, "Maybe I want it!"
"Or me," Ann responded.
"Or me," Sumire chimed in as Shiho, Daisuke, Ichiro, and Makoto also look like they want the last Bing Bong.
"You can't have it!" Ren shouted, "None of you can have it!"
"Get him!" Futaba shouted as everyone with the exception of Morgana, Hifumi, Hayato, Yusuke, and Haru charge and tackle Ren to the ground, trying to make a grab for the Bing Bong.
"Why are these guys so obsessed with Bing Bongs?" Morgana asked.
"You never had one, Mo-Mo?" Haru asked, "They're…sooooooooooo good!"
"They're like round, chocolatey, pillowy bits of sweetness with a gooey cream filling," Hayato said, his mouth watering.
The two couples and one cat continue to watch as everyone wrestles with Ren for the last Bing Bong. At this point, everyone had formed a dog pile on top of Ren as they each tried to take the treat away from him. Ren clutched the Bing Bong close to his chest.
"Let it go, Ren!" Sumire shouted.
"No!" Ren shouted as his face and hair got pulled at, "Oh my God, stop!
"Give it up!" Ryuji ordered.
"GIVE ME THE BING BONG!" Futaba screamed, "GIVE ME IT! GIVE ME THE BING BONG!"
Everyone continued fighting Ren for the Bing Bong until all of the sudden, they stopped. And the next sound that filled the room was the sound of snoring. Ren, Ann, Ryuji, Makoto, Sumire, Ichiro, Shiho, Daisuke, and Futaba have all tired themselves out and are now passed out in a pile in the middle of the treehouse. The five that weren't fighting over the last Bing Bong just looked at the unconscious pile in awe.
"Dang, they're out like lights," Hifumi said.
"Maybe we should take that as our cue to go night-night," Haru said with a yawn.
"Hey now, just because those guys went to sleep doesn't mean we have to," Hayato said, "What are we, a bunch of five year olds? Come on, I want to stay up all night! Party! Party! Party! Pa-"
THUD!
And just like that, Hayato falls asleep as well…and on top of Morgana no less.
"Someone get this idiot off me!" Morgana shouted.
Hifumi gently lifted her boyfriend up so the black cat could crawl out from beneath him. Freed from Hayato, Morgana goes by the window and falls asleep.
"Alright, everyone, lights out," Yusuke said as he and Haru settled on the couch and Hifumi laid next to Hayato on the floor, the whole group now officially sound asleep.
At around noon the following day, the group of 15 woke up completely sober, yawning and stretching their muscles as they stood up.
"Oh man, what a night," Ren said, "Does anyone remember what happened?"
"You got me, babe," Ann said as she rubbed her head.
"Everything was hazy, but something's telling me that last night was the craziest night any of us have ever had," Ichiro said.
At long last, Yuuki regains consciousness as he gets up from the floor and looks around.
"Where have I been for the last 24 hours?" Yuuki asked his friends, "All I remember is that we were here in Ichiro's treehouse, Ren had this bag of weed, I took one puff and then, POW, everything went black. Why did we even do weed to begin with?"
"To forget all about Chapped Lip Jun," Yusuke said, causing everyone to groan, "What?"
"You reminded us of that awful, evil, movie, man!" Ryuji whined.
"I thought this stuff was supposed to make us all forget about it," Makoto yelled, "Not make everyone but you forget so you could remind us of its existence!"
"Nightmare fuel…the horror…so much fire…so much screaming!" Hayato said as he fell back into the fetal position.
"Way to go, Yusuke, you made Hayato lose his mind again," Hifumi scolded her blue haired classmate.
"Alright, everyone, let's just stay calm," Ren said as all eyes were drawn on him, "Maybe this is meant to be a lesson of some kind. A lesson on how drugs should never be the answer to our problems. What that movie did to us is something that'll heal over time. Getting drugged up is the cowardly way out. Real adults would live their lives day by day and to the fullest too. So that way if, heaven forbid, the bombs come falling down, they have no regrets when they meet their maker. I say we do the same thing, live each day like it's our last while still making rational decisions, and hold the people we love most close to us. I'm sure we'll all forget about Chapped Lip Jun eventually, but until then, let's just live our best lives."
"I couldn't have said it better myself, Ren," Ryuji smiled.
"Yeah, nice job," Morgana concurred.
Everyone else nodded in agreement over Ren's speech and some even applauded him.
"One quick question though?" Daisuke said, "When we got high yesterday, did anyone else hear Morgana talk?"
"Oh, Daisuke, don't be silly," Shiho said, "He's a cat, cat's don't talk. I guess you still have a bit of that weed still in your system. Come on, maybe some Big Bang Burger will take your mind off of it."
"Okay," Daisuke agreed as he followed his girlfriend out of the treehouse.
"Well, I'd better hurry home to my mom," Hayato said, "She's probably worried sick about me."
"I'd better head home too," Hifumi said, "Walk me home?"
"Of course," Hayato said as he took his girlfriend by the hand and walked her out of the treehouse.
Suddenly, Haru puts her hand on her head.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Yusuke asked worriedly.
"I might be a bit hung over on account of Takemi's weed," Haru said, "Maybe some coffee will help. You want to come with me, sweetie."
"Sure," Yusuke said as the two of them left the treehouse, leaving just nine of the group of 15 left.
"Well, it's the weekend and we all have the day off from school," Makoto said, "And thanks to Ren's rousing speech, I think we all have a new lease on life."
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Sumire asked.
"Didn't you hear what I said," Ren asked as everyone turned to face him, "We live."
"Yeah, well, while you guys are out living," Ichiro began, "If it's okay with you, we kind of made a mess last night and I'd kind of like to clean it up. You guys can go without me."
"Are you sure, man?" Ryuji asked.
"Positive," Ichiro said with a nod, "You all have a good time."
"Okay, sweetie, I'll miss you," Sumire said as she kissed his cheek before following the other seven out of the treehouse.
With the treehouse all to himself, Ichiro started cleaning up.
Sometime later, the treehouse is spotless, Ichiro brought the microwave and toaster oven back into the kitchen, and the male gymnast is heading upstairs to his room.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something," Ichiro said to himself before we briefly cut to a scene of the crash site from last night when Hayato, Hifumi, Yusuke, and Morgana rode his bike down the hill.
"Ah, it's probably nothing," Ichiro said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Ichiro entered his room and plopped himself down on his bed, not even caring about what four of his friends likely did in it last night. Once he's all comfy-cozy, Ichiro grabs his headphones and his MP3 player, puts the headphones over his head and turns on his favorite song, 'Welcome to the World'.
(BGM: Welcome to the World by Kevin Rudolph)
Ichiro closes his eyes as he just vibes and listens to the music.
We then cut to a car driving down a highway. Inside that car are Ren and Ann, who were in the front seats with Ren driving, Ryuji, Makoto, and Morgana, who were in the middle seats, and Sumire, Futaba, and Yuuki who were in the back seats.
As the group drives, they're seen doing some sightseeing, having some friendly chats, eating some of the snacks they managed to take from Ichiro's treehouse, and just enjoying each other's company. The eight of them had no idea where they were going, but they knew that as long as they had each other and their friendship, no place was too far and the sky was the limit.
