Little Tokyo High Offbeat - Dash's Trip to America!

[DashStPierre]

Dash looked at Gary.

Dash: Alright bro you ready?
Gary: I was BORN ready

DR looked as the two friends shot high above the helicopter...
DR: What are those two doing? I guess they decided it was time for games (chuckles)

Dash: Oh its gametime alright...
Gary: And YOU just lost...
Dash: Rise...of...the...PHOENIX!
Gary: Final Stryke!

Dash and Gary went into their respective finisher animations and shot right at the helicopter.

DR: WHAT ARE THEY DOING!!!

DR then dove out of the copter getting away just as Gary and Dash's attacks smashed through the cockpit. The robot lurched for a moment and then bent over.

Leslie: Alright! I think that did it. and check it out, there is an opening on top of its head.

Dash: Hey Karlos, would you like to do the honors?

Karlos: Id be glad to...Hey DR, youve been yellow carded...guess what that means...

DR: I dont know but youre about to tell me.

Karlos: that's right...(pulls out a soccer ball and starts playing with it...

DR: How are you going to beat me with just a... (the soccer ball catches fire) oh.

Karlos: FREE KICK!

Leslie: Ready...
Brock: Aim...
(Karlos kicks it high into the air)
Karlos: FIRE! (Karlos volleyed it right at the robot)

The huge fireball flew straight and true...and went right through the opening on the robot's head and clear through the other side. The robot straightened up, then sat still for a moment. Just as DR was about to laugh at the team's failure, a cracking sound could be heard. The robot's armor began to split. finally, explosions rocked all the from the top of its head all the way through and a huge explosion rocked the park.

[Romero Anchovy]

DR: My plans!!! Everything is rurined! you haven't seen the last of me! I'll make you all pay.

DR took out a little ball and threw it against the ground and a big cloud of smoke appered and in a flash DR was gone.

Romero: That was Great guys!

Dash: Yeah! now I can finnally have my vacation.

[DashStPierre]

Dash, Gary, Brock, Leslie, Karlos and TGL all powered down their battle armor after defeating the robot. It was already the next day so they had definitely missed the movie.

Dash: Well guys, its Saturday nwo so what do you think we should do?
Gary: Well hey, lemme call my mom. She is probably freaking out thinking we're at the hospital or something. (Pulls out cell phone and dials)
Mrs Stryker: Hello?
Gary: Hey mom.
Mrs. Stryker: Oh son! Im glad to hear from you! I turned on the TV and the news was showing this thing where these masked something or others were battling this giant robot...Were you able to get out of there alright?
Gary: Yeah mom, me and the gang watched from a nearby building.
Karlos: It was AWESOME!
Mrs Stryker: Well that is good. I should be upset that you all didnt come home after the movie last night but I think you having to hide from that battle is punishment enough...besides youre an adult now little man...
Gary: Oh mom...(blush as the rest chuckle)
Mrs. Stryker: Well you and Dash come on home. Oh and the rest of your friends can come too. Your father left for a business trip this morning in Northern California and he wont be back til next week.
Gary: That's cool mom. Hey see you in a few minutes.
Mrs Stryker: Bye little man...
Gary: Mom! (blushes again as the others chuckle)
Dash: come on "little man" get back to your house, I think we could all use a shower (chuckle)
Gary (punches Dash in the arm): Alright already...

So the friends all walked back to the theater, Brock Karlos, TGL and Leslie got in one car and Dash and Gary got in the other.

Dash: (thinking) Man...I cant WAIT to tell Grams about this one.

(Hey Kyo any chance we could hear from Sundance and those sisters Dash flew with again?)

[Romero Anchovy]

As Gary got into the car he saw that Romero was looking at them.

Gary rolled down the window: Hey Romero you want to join us?

Romero: That would be nice I ain't got nothing better to do.

Gary opened up the door and got into the back.

[DashStPierre]

Dash: Hey Romero, I didnt see you there. Did you sneak on board my plane and follow me here or something?

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: I thought we where in a car? well anyways I thought that I'd move to Little Tokyo to see what's up. So your from Little Tokyo?

[DashStPierre]

Dash: yes I know we're in a car...but how the heck did you get to LA? Anyhow, I guess Mrs Stryker better expect one more at the table tonight

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: Well if you really must know I moved here.

Narrator: Well I guess I'll tell him if your not.

Romero: aren't you suppose to be in Little Tokyo or something?

Narrator: Yeah, but I thought I'd drop in. Anyways, Romero came to LA to get away from being forced to follow his brothers foot steps. he moved to LA with only a few things including the Ice storm umbrella (which is one of Guido's old ones that he gave to Romero.) Romero somehow managed to get a little aptment (don't ask me how I'm just a narrator) and worked as a intern for DR for a while not really knowing what the Rat was up to until he heard a conversation about the Marshmallow monster. Romero knowing he had to do something decied that he would try to save the city, and that's when he ran into you, Dash.

Romero: Shessh, why don't you just tell him my whole life story while your at it.

Narrator: If I did that it would put them to sleep.

[DashStPierre]

Dash: Well thanks Mr Narrator.
Romero: So what brings you to America Dash?
Dash: Oh I was taking a much needed vacation...or at least trying to...and I was visiting Gary here because we've been best friends for the longest time. Oh where are my manners...Gary, this is Romero Anchovy...
Gary: Hey are you Guido's brother?
Romero: (fumes)
Dash: Uhh...I think he doesnt like that bro...
Gary: Oh sorry...
Romero: No problem...I just get kinda tired of it after a while
Dash: Well anyway, looks like we're just about back at the house so hope youre hungry Romero.
Romero: That would be an understatement
Dash: haha...good. Gary's mom is an awesome cook. (Now I wonder how those interesting girls I met on the plane are doing?)


(OOC: Hey Kyo, where the heck are ya?)

[KyoZaber]

(Kyo is plotting... Mwa ha ha ha! I'll try to have something up within the next day or so. My apologies for the way-past-due delay.)
((Oh... And if anyone asks... I've been on a tall mountain... Far from civilization... With nothing but Anime... cute cat-gals... and lots of awesome stuff. ))
(((... How I wish that were true...)))

(You bet we'll hear from Sundance & the sisters. We've gotta keep this family growing now don't we?  )

[KyoZaber]

*** A well rested trip / vacation later... ***

Thankfully for Dash, the adventure in Kuji Associates had been the last bit of... overwhelming excitement, for his trip to America. ... Well... Just as long as you don't count Karlos' attempt at making exploding waffles. As with everything good, the trip eventually had to come to an end. On the day of the departing flight, Dash had his suitcase all packed up. Each of the memory cards for his digital camera were filled to the brim with pictures and short movies. Laughter, joy, humor, and a few quirky situations all amounted to another list of memories Dash would soon not forget.

The car ride to the airport was solemn if anything. All that needed to be said had been said... and then some. On one hand Dash was sad to leave everything behind once again. On the other hand... It'd felt like ages since he'd seen his Grandmother and sisters. While it'd sting a little bit... it would feel good to be home once again.

*** In the Terminal... While waiting for the plane to arrive... ***

Gary : *Shaking Dash's hand firmly.* Well bud... It's been a swell time.

Karlos : *Nods* Yeah man, we have to admit we were kinda worried going to a sissy place like China was going to make you into a bigger wuss!

Leslie : *Slaps the back of Karlos' head.* Hey, knock it off! ... Besides... He's been going to Japan Chef-boy-are-dork. *Gives Dash a quick squeeze.* You keep yourself out of trouble!

Brock : *Smiles, giving Dash a thumbs up.*

Ashley : *Weeping... she blows her nose.* D...Dash... *Wobbles towards him... her hands wide open.* I'm going to miss youuuu!!!

Just as a "hug of doom" was about to be administered to Dash...
A loud shout echoed through the terminal.

Sundance : YEAAAOOOCHH!!! DAD-GUM-IT! Watch what you're doing Sheena!

Sundance came warbling in on a pair of crutches... His right leg was bandaged up pretty well. Not to mention he had an eye-patch strapped on his left eye. Behind him followed Sheena, her sister Camma, Dee Dee, and Cosmo. Sheena, Camma, DD, and Cosmo looked perfectly fine. Sundance however appeared to have stories to tell.

Sheena : *Her arms folded, shooting a constant evil glare at Sundance.* Sheena thinks STUPID MAN needs to watch what he's doing. *Sticks her tongue out at him.* PPPPPTTTT!!!!

Sundance : Oh that's it... *Drops his crutches, whirls around, holding up his fists, balancing on one leg.* I don't care if you're DD's niece or not... You're goin down girl!

Sheena : *Readies herself in a ninja-like stance.* Bring it on STUPID MAN!

Before the scene could progress any further, Cosmo's big, yet tender hand clasped down on Sheena's shoulder.

Cosmo : Hold it there young miss... *Flashes her one of his best smiles.* You'll have to save that fire for another day.

While Sheena almost melted into Cosmo's arms, Sundance was having problems trying to get his crutches back from DD, who evidently didn't care too much for threats to be made against her niece. Then... a voice spoke up from Dash's side... Surprising Dash & his friends.

Camma : *Sighs* My sister is her usual self... It's going to feel so good getting back to Little Tokyo. *A small smile appeared on her lips... along with a glint of light reflected off of her glasses.* It appears you'll be sitting in-between my sister and I on this flight Dash. *She turns around, her hands held in her kimono.* I look forward to having an actual conversation with you as opposed to my sister.

As Camma walked off towards the terminal where the plane would be arriving shortly Sheena came running up. Her calm demeanor totally replaced as quickly as it had came.

Sheena : Hey! Sheena heard that! *Continues rushing to catch up with her sister.* What was that supposed to mean Camma! Hey! Come back here!

(Had to actually spell Dee Dee's name right. ^^; )

[DashStPierre]

Dash chuckled to himself

Dash: Looks like Sundance had a pretty interesting time himself. Anyway you guys oughta come out to Little Tokyo sometime...my Grams thanksfully doesnt make things that explode...

Karlos: Hey how was I supposed to know you dont put yeast in waffles?

(everyone laughs)

Dash: Oh and Ashley...(she walks over)
Ashley: *sniffs* What?
Dash: I'll miss you too. (pecks her on the cheek)
Ashley: Ohhhh... (passes out)
Gary: what's up with her?
Dash: Oh...I probably should have mentioned that while you guys were cleaning up from the waffle incident she and I went for a walk along the beach and I deceded to ask her to be my gf...
Everyone else: WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Dash: Yup...its sad that it had to happen so close to my going back but I wanted her to know how I felt. Turns out she has liked me ever since the 6th grade.
Gary: Alright man! (slaps Dash on back)
Dash: Now you guys take good care of her, and Nobody try to put any moves on...(looks sternly at Brock and Karlos)
Brock: Hey man, I've already got a girlfriend...its Karlos you need to worry about...
Karlos: Alright alright...everybody doen throwing me under the bus? (everyone else laughs)

So Dash went off to the terminal to meet up with Camma and Sheena to get on the plane...while he walked he thought to himself:

Man I hope Romero is doing alright...those baggage terminals can be a bit interesting...

[Romero Anchovy]

Meanwhile at Security Check...

Romero: At least let me take my toothpaste!

Security guard: I'm sorry sir,b ut for the last time your not allowed to bring liquids onto the plane!

Romero raising his voice: Since when is Toothpaste a liquid!

Security guard: Sir, can you please calm down...

Romero: Calm down? I had to sell my whole model Car collection for this ticket, and I packed what little stuff i had into my luggage, then I had to buy another suitcase because the i had too much stuff in one, and now most of the stuff i put into the second suitcase your thowing out! This Is crazy!

Security guard: Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down, if you don't then I'll be forced to do a "Full" inspection. Now we wouldn't want that would we?

Romero knew what the guard ment by "Full" and figured he would just drop it even though he was still upset.

Romero: Whatever, Can I go now?

Security Guard: Just one more thing sir...

Romero: What?

Security Guard: May I have your autograph, Guido?

Moments later as Everyone started to board the plane.

Dash saw Romero who had a funny walk.

Dash: What happened to you?

Romero: I don't want to talk about it.

Romero looked over and saw a bunny girl with silver eyes and blue hair.

Romero whispering To Dash: I wonder who lovely silver eyed girl is.

Dash: Oh, Her? She calls herself Sheena. She has a problem with the 1st person. I'm sitting next in between her and her sister on the way back.

Romero: Really I got the center seat right behind you so maybe I can talk with this Sheena girl.

Dash started laughing to himself as he and Romero entered the plane

Dash: For claiming not to Guido, you sure do act a lot like him sometimes! 

Romero not amused: very funny, Dash.

[DashStPierre]

Everyone settled into their seats and so Dash decided to strike up a conversation with Camma

Dash: So what was up with Sundance? looked like he got in a fight with a grizzly bear and lost.
Camma: (laughs) Oh no...although he would have preferred that. You see he and Sheena dont particularly like each other and so they got in a fight in the middle of downtown New York City (we were laying over in LA), and sundance accidentally backed into the street and was promptly hit by a passing tour bus...then a taxi...and then rush hour traffic...and just to put the icing on the cake...a passing cyclist.
Dash: DANG! How did that not kill him?!?
Camma: he is a Pizza Cat remember...
Dash: right. Well other than my friend and his exploding waffles I didnt have a whole lot happen (not really wanting to tell Camma about the misadventures with the marshmallow monster)...oh well I did leave a new girlfriend in LA
Camma: Aww...that is so sad...well I dont think I'll be dating unless I can find somebody to keep my sister busy.
Sheena: Sheena heard that!
Camma: (rolls eyes) Anyway, you ready to see your family again?
Dash: Oh yeah. I emailed my grams a bunch of pictures and I have some really nice sweets in my bag for my sisters...although they are going to be under very strict orders on sugar consumption.
Camma: (laughs) Im sure...

This continued for much of the flight back to Little Tokyo.

[KyoZaber]

( I'm having rather severe internet problems at the moment. I'll do my best to pick up the reins again tonight. Sorry for the delay.  )

[KyoZaber]

(Well done on the guess as to what happened to Sundance Dash! Granted, you went a little further than the accident I had planned, however it all ends up the same.    Cept... Well... Heh... heh... heh... *Devilish laugh.*)

As Dash and Camma continued to converse... Sheena continued to get more and more anxious...
Her cheeks puffed up more, and more as she was being "ignored" by her sister... and that weird guy from the last flight.

Sheena : -=How dare they leave Sheena out of the loop! This trip sucks! First, Sheena gets stuck with this stupid trip to America... Then Sheena gets stuck in a stupid car... Then stuck training with STUPID MAN....=- ... *She begins to go cross-eyed from the anger swelling up inside of her.*mmmMMMMMM!

She opens her mouth to begin to say something... the stops...
Slowly... her look of anger begins to fade... followed by a sly smile appearing over her lips...

Sheena : *Lightly begins to chuckle...* -=Yes... yes... That'll do! That'll show that weird guy... And Camma! Then I'll have these two seats all to myself... =- *She looks over at Dash... her silver eyes gleamed as she slowly reached out for Dash's head with her hand.*


The whole scene played out in slow motion...
Sheena reached for Dash... Dash slowly turned around... He saw the silver shimmer in her eyes as Sheena's hand reached out towards him...
...
His entire view was then promptly blocked by the sight of the back of Romero's head...


Romero : Say there! I'd like to introduce mysel~

Sheena's hand made contact with Romero's forehead...

Sheena : EEEP! *Her eyes opened wide with worry, fear, anger, and confusion. All rolled into surprise.* You!

Romero : *The pupils of his eyes open wide... His mouth hangs open... He slowly begins to stand up...*

Camma : *Her eyes quickly bat from Sheena... to Romero.* ... *She props her head against her fingers as she mutters under her breath.* ... This is going to get interesting...

Romero : *Takes a deep breath... Points at Sheena...* MY NAME IS STUPID MAN AND THIS IS MY STUPID GIRLFRIEND AND I THINK SHE'S PRETTY AND WE BOTH LIKE TALKING ABOUT STUPID STUFF LIKE BOMBS ON FLYING THINGYS AND I LIKE PIE!!!


*** A few minutes later... In the back-area of the plane...***
Sheena and Romero sat next to each other... They each had their hands zip-tied to the chairs along with their legs.
Romero had fallen asleep... While Sheena's mouth had to be gagged due to her incessant rambling.

Sheena : MMMMPPPHHHH!!!

Camma : *Comes walking in, kneeling down in front of Sheena.* Just so you know... I've contacted Guido in Little Tokyo. He'll get started straightening things out so you and Romero don't have to spend the rest of your lives in jail. *Her eyes narrow... her voice turns to a low... quiet tone of anger...* Also... due to your lack of restraint... Father now sees it fit to make us go to public school to learn to get along with other people!

Sheena : *Her eyes grew wide.* mmmhhmmmhmy?!

Camma : *Nods...* And guess what else... I'm saving the best for last Sheena... I promise you... You... Get... To...

Romero : uggghh.... Wha~?! *Begins waking up...*

Camma : *Stops herself short of explanation the rest of Sheena's punishment...* Oh! ... *Lightly taps the side of Romero's head.* Hey... You feeling ok?

Romero : *Nods* Yeah... What happened?

Camma : Don't worry about it now... *Looks back at Sheena...* ... Actually... *Quickly begins developing a fake story to tell Romero.* You blacked out. You also started thrashing your arms around... so... that's why we tied you up! ... You accidentally hit Sheena in the mouth which is why it's bandaged up! ... *Looks Romero in the eyes.* Sheena can get very lonely when no one talks to her... So... Could you keep her company for the rest of the flight? *She looks over at Sheena... An evil glint from her glasses shines...* We've still got 6 hours to go...

Sheena : *Her eyes go very wide... then she droops her head in shame.*

Romero : Are you sure she wants me to talk to her? I mean... She doesn't look exactly happy...

*** ***
Thus... The trip to America had come to an end.
Old friends were reunited... Love was formed... A new friend / ally was gained...
And new mysteries were born.

What started off to be a short vacation... had definitely turned into a large adventure.
And we wouldn't have it any other way now... would we?


 -- THE END! --

[KyoZaber]

:: Epilogue ::
(As with our last RP, you gentlemen feel free to tie-up any loose ends from the story. With any luck, as long as the internet doesn't give out, we'll hopefully have another RP going soon enough. ... Or at least we'll get one slowly started.  )

[DashStPierre]

As Dash walked off the plane his two sisters embraced him.

Grams: So how was it?
Dash: It was certainly interesting to say the least. Oh and I have a little bit of news I'll share when we get to the car.
Amy and Kia began to giggle.
Grams: Now you two...you do want to know if Dash got you anything right?
The girls quickly straightened up in their seats and they drove back to the house so Dash could unpack and get settled

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero talked to Sheena for the whole six hours. Sheena tried her best to try to get out of her seat for the first three hours but after tireing herself out she feel asleep.

After the flight had landed and everyone went there seprate ways Romero was waiting at the airport turminal for his brother...

Romero: He's probally talking to a girl...

Little did Romero know that Guido was right behind him when he said that.

Guido: No, I was busy trying to sort out somethings Stupid Man! You feel like some Pie when we get back?

Romero: What are you talking about?

Guido: Nevermind, Mom and Dad said that you could stay at my place if you want, but you have to live by my rules.

Romero picking up his bags: Great I'm staying at my brother's wanna be bachlors pad.

Guido: Hey Mom and Dad wanted to send you to some bording school in the middle of nowhere from what you did on the plane today.

Romero: What? Pass out?

Guido: No, just be lucky that your related to me, Rome.

Romero in a flat voice: I'm excited, that I'm related to someone who can never pick up a girl.

And So Romero starts his new life in Little Tokyo not as Romero, but as "Guido's Brother."

[DashStPierre]

Gary, Karlos, Ashley and Brock drove back to Gary's house after seeing Dash off at the airport. The next day after he left, teh four of them were walking through the mall when Karlos broke the silence.

Karlos: Ashley, you havent stopped smiling since we went to the airport yesterday.
Ashley: Yeah...I know... she said her voice somewhat trailing off.
Gary: Dash hadnt even been back in America in over a year...and he asks you to be his girlfriend...what's up with that?
Ashley: Well, I had developed a crush on dash starting in the 7th grade. He was so cute, so funny, so sweet, so smart, so sure of himself...and I was drawn to that. Well since we were all friends I thought itd be silly to be all googly for him, but I knew how I felt. Anyway, before he went away to Little Tokyo we started talking at nights and he would sing to me. I thought that was very sweet. Well anyway He called me right before he was coming for his trip and said he wanted to talk to me about something...and with all those crazy things going on he never got a chance until just before he left. He wanted me to come see him there over Thanksgiving to meet his grandmother and sisters.
Brock: Well well...I didnt think he had it in him...
Gary: I guess there are a few things about him that we dont know...
