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

[KyoZaber]

Well folks, it's been a little while since we've finished up what I think is one of our best story lines yet. You all have done well, and it has been a pleasure so far working with you all. 

Now... As for where we're going. I'm still working on the next main-story. This is what I've got for a tentative title thus far....

“Little Tokyo High - Give, Take, Divide by Seven?”   

Yep, it's sketchy at best. I'm still trying to figure out what it all is going to amount to. Well... Not really. I'm just trying to come up with a skeleton to go by like what I did with the last storyline. I figure the less I plan & bolt down, the more flexible the story will be while we all write it in RP fashion.

In the meantime, just a little side-story for some fun, how about we write a little about Dash's trip to America? Granted, his trip doesn't have to be full of mayhem. It can be full of romance, action, comedy, drama, and maybe even a pair of plaid sneakers!

I'd like to make a quick escape clause that I'm not trying to make Dash the center point of all upcoming RP's. (You're a nifty dude Dash, but if the lights shine on you too much, you'll melt!) I just wanted to make a quick interim-thread for us to just cut loose in before the next one starts.

In any case... Without further a due... Let's git Dash on that plane!

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

[DashStPierre]

Thanks Kyo...and who better to kick off the story...


The sun hadnt even risen over Little Tokyo when Dash's alarm clock went off. After getting worked over by his grandmother for sneaking out (even if it was to help out the SPC out with that crazy evil clown girl), he finally went to bed around midnight. Even though he had only slept a few hours, as soon as that alarm clock went off, Dash was out of bed like a shot and quickly began getting ready to go to the airport and make his trip back to America.

Dash (thinking): Man this is going to be so awesome! I havent seen some of these guys in years! We are going to have so much fun I have no doubt. I better wake grams up so she can take me to the airport.

So with that Dash walked down the hall to his grandmothers room and knocked on the door...

(OOC: Im gonna need everybody's help on this one because Im going to need somebody to take the role of Dash's grandmother, his 3 friends, and whatever people he comes in contact with over the course of this three week trip)

[Blackcat]

*RING! RING!

What was that? it was Dash phone!

Dash: Uh, hello?

???: Hi, what’s up Dash?

Dash: Who is there?

???: I’m FG, I got a cold, listen...can I ask you a favor?

Dash: Now? I’m going to America!

FG: Is just a quick thing, could you go to my house and deliver a package for me? Is not going to take a lot of time...

Dash: Ok, I guess I can do that, where do you live?

FG: Well, do you know that big bear that lives in from of your house? I live in the house next to it, the one with the Roses and the big tree...

Dash: Ok...

[DashStPierre]

Dash: Alright...I'll have Grams take me over there on the way to the airport. My flight isnt until 7 AM but she wants me to be there extra early so I can go through all the security stuff. I'll be over at your house in two shakes

As Dash hung up his phone...Grams was opening the door.

Grams: So...she said as she rubed some of the sleep out of her eyes...you ready to go to America?

Dash: You bet I am Grams! I need to stop by a friends house and pick up something to deliver on the way to the airport though...you mind doing that?

Grams: No problem...I built enough time in for just such a thing. Where do we get it...

Dash: the house with the roses and the big tree.

Grams: Oh that is just up the road a short ways...come on let;s go get what you need to deliver and we can head to the airport from there

So Grams walked out in her sweatsuit and sneakers and Dash took his two bags and carried them downstairs. Grams grabbed the two sisters and they came along in their PJs. They all jumped into Grams' minivan and drove over to FGs house, where the package she talked about was sitting on the front porch. Dash walked up to the porch and got the package, then put it in the back seat between his sisters. They drove to the address listed on the box, and after Dash dropped it off and rang the doorbell, he hopped back in the car and they drove on to Little Tokyo International Airport.

(Don't worry dude. Despite my disappearing act, I'm not going to leave you hangin.  )

(Thanks Kyo, I really dont want to dominate the posting in this so hopefully somebody else can take up some of the dialogue here real soon)

[KyoZaber]

The drive to the airport had been just that... A drive.
Usually his sisters had attempted some sort of fight or other scam... With this one they were still working on wink 49 out of their 50 winks of sleep.
The airport was gently busy... nothing too huge for your usual morning.

The van came to a stop... Slowly everyone got out. Dash's sisters mumbled and grumbled... one said something about making them all pay... the other muttered something about a fantasy. Grams broke it up quickly however.

Grams: Ok you two, we talked about this last night. Come now... *Gently she nudged the two over to Dash.*

Amy's hands limply went around Dash, hugged him, then let go. Kia's hug was firmer, with a little smile across her lips.

Amy: I expect... *Yawn* ...Candy when you get back brother.

Kia: Take lots of pictures! I wanna see how much bigger everything is!

Grams: *Smiled lightly, shaking her head.* Ok girls... *She went up, straightened out some of Dash's cloths.* Stand up straight dear. *She gave him a strong hug, sneaking a few extra hundred into his back pocket.* Have a safe trip, and I expect to hear from you once you arrive... Don't worry about the time. *She stands back, looking him in the eyes.* Ok~?

[DashStPierre]

Dash smiled and winked at everybody.

Dash: Amy, dont worry, I'll try to have some chocolate for ya when I get back (provided it doesnt melt on the trip back). Kia, I'll make sure to get a new card for my camera so I can take plenty of pictures just for you. Grams, I'll make sure to call you as soon as I land in CA. (He also whispered, "thanks for the extra money...*chuckle*)

So with that Dash went through the security checkpoint with his backpack, but he turned around and gave one last wave to his family and called out, "See you guys in a few weeks!" Then he went off toward the gate where his flight would be.

The gate was fairly busy even for this early hour, but there were a few people also making the trip to America. There were a few people in business suits, and a couple of other families, and a few other solo travelers.

After some waiting a voice comes over the loudspeaker asking everyone to board the plane.

[KyoZaber]

The girls and Grams got back into the van, and began driving back...

Amy: *Folding her arms... Carefully eying Grams as they drove.* You didn't just give Dash extra spending cash did you!?

Grams: *Keeps a poker face as she drives.* I don't know what you're talking about dear. You know I don't reward bad behavior.

*** Back at the airport... On board the plane... ***

Dash had gotten seated and belted up. His book and portable game system were at his sides.
The rest of the jet continued to fill up until everyone was set.
Dash thankfully got the window seat... Unfortunately that also meant that he had to get past his two passenger-mates in order to get up and go anywhere.
... At least it would be an unfortunate thing if they both weren't who they appeared to be.

Two bunny gals. Both looked like Princess Vi... Only older... dressed in more intricate kimonos... one wore glasses with lovely green hair... and the other had silver eyes with dark blue hair.

Older Girl (Silver Eyes) 1 : Phew... This is too early for Sheena. *Glugs down some water.* When do we get the pillows and blankets! I'm tired!

Older Girl 2 (Glasses) :  *Sighs* Sis... Calm yourself. We'll get them later. Just sit back, play your mind games, and enjoy the ride... Ok?

Older Girl 1 : Easy for you to say Camma! *Stretches her arms over her head, letting out a big yawn... she looks over at Dash... then back at the other girl.* *Quietly.* Why does Sheena have to sit next to him again?

The other girl just sighed, pulled a book out from her kimono's sleeve, and began reading.
The engines roared to life... and the jet soared into the air. And thus... the journey began.

*** Back at Gram's house... ***

Amy: *Searching her drawers.* Hey! ... My bribe cash's missing!!!! 

[DashStPierre]

Dash looked over at Sheena...well ma'am Im sorry if this situation isnt to your liking...Im Dash (extends hand)

[DashStPierre]

(OOC: Come on guys...dont let it be jsut me and Kyo talking amongst ourselves)

Sheena did not respond to Dash's offer of friendly introduction, she simply faced toward the front. Dash pulled his hand back and decided to get a quick game in before the plane took off. he popped his headphones in and started playing.

[KyoZaber]

Sheena keeps watch of Dash out of the corner of her eye...
The flight continues on into the night... Most of the passengers are asleep including Dash, Sheena, and Camma.

Sheena's eyes shoot open... she looks over at Dash... a mischievous grin crosses over her lips.

Sheena: -=Heh heh heh...=- *She slowly takes her hand... reaching out towards Dash's forhead...*

*FWACK!*

Sheena: *Brings her hand back quickly.* >_O MMMppphhHH!

Camma: *Whispering.* No Sheena. You know better than to do that here in public!

Sheena: *Turns back to her sister, whispering back.* Come on! It's not like he'd notice anything! Besides, it'd be funny! Sheena's been bored ever since we got on this flying tub!

Camma: *Sighs* Just practice on someone else ok? We're still stuck on here for another 6 hours. *Lays back.* Last thing we need is to give him any reason to suspect us.

Sheena: Hrrmmph! *She folds her arms, and puffs out her cheeks like a little child having a fit.* -=Sheena never gets to have any fun with Camma around...=-

[DashStPierre]

Dash was stiil somewhat asleep but he did awaken just enough to hear Sheena and Camma talking, half mumbled "Would you two ladies mind keeping it down a tad...and to the young lady next to me, there is a thing called the first person. you should try it..." Then he went back to sleep.

[Blackcat]

Ok, to make things short, they showed a really boring movie during the flight, so our “heroes” got asleep, and woke up with some back pain arriving to America.

*In the airport… guess what? The New York Pizza cats are there!

Who the heck are those?

The New York pizza cats!

The occidental counterpart of the SPC, Sundance Kid (the leader), his weapon is a gun that can do an special attack of the same power level than Speedy "CAT EYE SLASH", DeeDee (The pretty girl), her weapon is a black whip; And Cosmo (The handsome), his weapon is an occidental sword. To make it short, Sundance Kid looks like a Baseball player, DeeDee looks like she in bondage but with more clothing, and Cosmo looks like a blue prince or something!.

DeeDee: What we are doing here again?

Cosmo: We got a call from the japanese pizza cats about keeping an eye to a kid named Dash.

Sundance: Whatever...

[DashStPierre]

Dash: Oh man...I already get enough from Grams and now the SPC are basically stickin me with three baby sitters for the next three weeks??? I mean come on...Im 16 years old for cryin out loud. Well I guess I'll make the best of it...

[KyoZaber]

The 3 cats waited for a beat... then burst out laughing...

Sundance: *Slaps his hand on Dash's shoulder.* Hah! Oh that was too easy man!

Cosmo: *Standing... his arms folded... a wide grin across his face.* Yes it was. It was just as Abigail said...

Dee Dee: *Takes off her glasses, placing the end between her lips, lightly nibbling on it.* Sorry honey, but we couldn't resist. We're actually here for...

**As if on queue, Sheena and Camma emerged from the plane.**

Sheena: *Raises her hand up, smiling brightly.* Hey! Sheena has arrived!

Camma: *Sighs* Seriously... do you have to do that every time we visit Sheena?

Sundance: *Whispers to Dash.* Ya see, these two are DD's nieces. Don't ask too many questions kid, just know that they're related, *Points to Camma* she's quiet... *Points to Sheena* and she only seems to be half there... but don't let her fool ya.

Cosmo: *Steps between the two.* Sorry for the interruption... but we should be going Sundance. We'll be late if we don't hurry.

Sundance: Oh! Shoot! Right... *Firmly shakes Dash's hand.* Kid, it was great meeting ya. Keep yourself out of trouble, have fun, and see you again when you leave!

With that everyone went their separate ways...
And just like that... while Dash was waiting for his ride... It decided to rain...

*A loud clap of thunder echoed through the sky...*

... Hard....

[DashStPierre]

Dash pulled out his pocket umbrella

"Well at least I can use this thing as its intended for once." He said with a chuckle to himself. After standing outside for a few minutes, a green sedan rolled up. Dash went over to it as the window rolled down. "You Dash?" the driver said. Dash nodded. "Well hop in...we got some catching up to do while we drive back to the house.

It turns out the cat driving was one of Dash's very best friends from when Dash lived in the US for middle school and his first year of high school, Gary Stryker. Gary was captain of the football team, extremely popular, and dated the captain of the cheerleading squad (they were still together).

[DashStPierre]

Rain fell steadily as Gary and Dash rode along the California highway. "So how's life in Japan, old friend?  I havent talked to ya since the end of our freshman year at youre going away party."

"Well, life is pretty good. Grams keeps me and my sisters in line...or in my sisters' case, off the ceiling, and I work at a pizza place after school. The high school there is alright, although crazy things keep happening there."

Gary laughed. "Im sure its not anything that doesnt happen at any other high school, even here in the US." Dash rolled his eyes. The car pulled into a driveway and up a hill. When Dash saw the house, his jaw dropped to the floor of the car. "Man...what a nice place..." Was all he could get out. "Yup...mom and dad did pretty well...this is where youre staying for the next 3 weeks. Youre welcome to anything in the house while youre here. Mom and Dad work during the day, and Ive got workouts for football during the morning but I'll definitely make sure we get to hang out plenty in the afternoons." Gary grabbed Dash's bags from the trunk and took them toward the house while Dash took a look around as the rain kept falling around him.

OOC: Hey can we get some other people involved here? We cant just have KZ BC and myself carrying the story here...

Meanwhile, Panzer was getting his ass furiously beaten by his mother (Sarah Howell) over the earth-shattering message left by Guido the night before.

*spanking Panzer over her knee*

Sarah: I didn't even know you were sexually-active!!! 

Marcus (Father): Calm down, honey, I'm sure it isn't what it seems to be. If you'll just stop beating our son for a moment, I'm sure he can explain himself.
