~Little Tokyo High~ : The Flaming Emerald Dance

[DashStPierre]

Dash whispered to Romero

Dash: I suspected he had something to do with the Hokie Shnikies incident last year. I couldnt confirm it though but something about him just makes me uneasy...like he's up to something and itll involve the school...

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: I don't know Dash...from what i heard wasn't that two girls that did that, and a different teacher? Mr. Gimballa or something?

[Blackcat]

-Must...get... people...join..newspaper...- says Jack and falls asleep....

[KyoZaber]

*** The day before... Around homework time... ***

Sheena : *Sitting at Panzer's computer, swiftly typing away on the keyboard.* ... Done! *She twirled around in her spinner chair, then stopped, looking at Panzer.* Sheena's going go help your mom cook! -= Not to mention recover from that weird caterpillar comment... Sheena really needs to focus when she talks. O_o =-

Sheena lightly got up onto her feet and skipped out into the kitchen.
She lightly tapped Ms.Howell on the shoulder, then bowed once Ms. Howell turned around.

Sheena : Pardon Sheena Ms. Howell, Sheena would like to help you by setting the table. Where are the dishes and silverware?

Ms. Howell smiled, and gestured to some cupboards and drawers.
Sheena swiftly glided between the kitchen and the dining room table, her moves almost difficult to see.
Within moments the table was set, the glasses were full of iced tea and milk, and Sheena had already begun filling the empty sink with hot soapy water to clean the dishes.

As the sink filled, Sheena began making small talk...

Sheena : Your place looks very nice Ms. Howell. Sheena's never seen anything else quite like it except for at the school and in the airport when Sheena and Camma came back to Japan. You see... Sheena and her sister have been ... -=What was that word Camma said to say?=- ... Studying... a... board in America for the past few years.


*** Meanwhile... Back in the present... ***

Eyah : *Gets up with Romero's help, rubbing the back of her head.* Uggg... The last I ever heard... Those three sisters were sent off to another school. *Folds her arms.* Hrrmmmfff.... And as if that teacher would know an evil plot if he saw one. *She gently grasps Romero's wrist, and begins dragging him to the Home Ec room.* Come on Panzer-kun. Let's get to the Home Ec room so we can get good seats.

*Before they could leave, Camma burst into the room, slightly out of breath, her eyes darted back and fourth.*

Camma : *Panting.* Have any of you seen Kyo?! *Her face quickly changes from worry... to calm, she straightens up, and wipes the sweat off her brou.* I mean... I need to talk to him about something... Have any of you seen where he went?

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: Wait...Panzer-kun?!? He's dating you too?  I can't believe it!!!! I thought what we had was special!!!!

Romero notices Camma bust into the room, looking for Kyo

Romero: I was just wondering the same thing...ya know he's a really stealthy Fox....One minuet he's here the next he's gone...

[KyoZaber]

Eyah : *Looks back at Romero... rubbing the bump on her head.* Sorry Romero-kun... I guess I hit my head a little hard. ^^;

[DashStPierre]

Dash: I remember Romero (it was Gimura btw...) just something about that Mr Fromage makes me wonder...(whispers to him) you think we should talk to Speedy and the others about it?

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: That's alright Eyah so long as your alright...anyways...where did kyo dissapper of to this time I wonder...

[Blackcat]

-The Turkey....I know I saw him somewhere....ZZZzzzz- says Jack, and continues to sleep...

[KyoZaber]

Camma : -=I won't find him here... I'll have to wait for him...=- *She lightly bows to the others.* Thank you all for your information. Well... I'd best be going. See you all later on in the cooking class.

*** Meanwhile... at The Parent Teachers Association General Assembly and Buffet ***

Principal Tio : *Leaving the main hall.* -=Of all the nerve... Assigning a new class last minute, bypassing me, what in the world are these people thinking!?=-

*As he's walking, he accidentally bumps into Speedy Cerviche, whom is carrying a rather large load of breakfast pizzas.*

Speedy : WOAH! Hey~ Watch it there pal!

Principal Tio : My apologies young man... *He continues walking, concentrating on the issue at hand...*

Speedy : Hrmp! People these days~ Why if I wasn't caryin 30 pizzas, I'd~ *He continues lightly muttering as he walks into the main council chambers and begins stocking the buffet.*

As Speedy works... two Council members approach the other side of the buffet. They're talking in a low tone, and due to Speedy's height... haven't noticed him.

Council Man 1 : I still don't like it... Why are we being so hush hush?

Council Woman 2 : Because... If what she said was true, then we have to perform this secret audit. If the students are truly not learning anything, and are performing as bad as initial reports are stating, then we need to take action. If Tio gets wind of this, then he could skew the results of the findings, and we'd have no basis of removing him from the school.

Council Man 1 : You see, that's the problem! Tio's been a great Principal for the past 15 years. His numbers are among the best that school... heck... the entire district has had in ages!

However... Before anymore could be said...

Speedy : WOAH! HOT PIE INCOMING!

Both council members looked up, their eyes both growing wide as the breakfast pizza pie descended downward toward them...

*** Meanwhile... Back at Little Tokyo High... At the beginning of Mr. Fromage's class... ***

Eyah : *Eyah begins going around the classroom, collecting the various reports.*

Mr. Fromage : *Looks at Eyah... then over at Kyo's empty desk... Bored out of his mind.* Thank you collecting the reports Ms. Osaka. *He nods his head over towards Kyo's empty desk.* Where's the class representative at?

Eyah : *Hands all of the reports to Mr. Fromage.* I don't know sir...

Mr. Fromage : *Takes the reports, putting them into his briefcase.* Ok... Take yer seat. *After Eyah sits down, he stands up and begins talking.* Class will be out early today... Here's what yer assignment is. You know now what the Flaming Emerald Dance is... Now I want you all to cook me one. I know all of you were only able to find legend info on this cause it's a hard dish to make that no one makes any more.

*He begins to write down a list of ingredients onto the chalk board.*

- 1 Dozen Eggs
- 20 Herbs & Spices
- Royal Import Sake
- Wheat Flour from Mount Fuji
- Sugar
- Honey
- Molasses

Mr. Fromage : Now... You all can group up if you wanna. I want at least 1 Flaming Emerald Dance two days from now at 8:00 am sharp. Failure by your class to produce at least one means you flunk my class. Any questions?

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: I got one Mr.F....Where are we soppose to get Royal Import Sake from? I heard that Princess Vi's the only one that actually has any...unless I'm wrong...And Why so harsh with the grading man?

[DashStPierre]

Dash (thinking): Hmm, sounds to me like he WANTS to fail the class on this assignment so that it would look like we arent learning anything...Im not gonna let that happen. (grabs Romero) C'mon...everybody to my house...we're gonna blow this turkey's mind...

[KyoZaber]

Mr. Fromage : *Looks at Romero... thinking for a bit...* ... Well Mr. Anchovey, you might have to see if someone older than you can get ahold of the stuff. Cause by my guess... You're not old enough to be drinkin now are you son? As for why this particular assignment is a do or die, well... Heh heh... I'm afraid my funding has been cut back severely. Friday's my last day for this class, so I've got to make sure you kids earn your proper grade now don't I?

With that, Mr. Fromage then looked over at Dash, grinning ear to ear.

Mr. Fromage : Yes son... Blow my mind. It's not like i've given you an impossible assignment. What kind of a fiend would I be if I were to give such a bright class of students a no-win assignment?

*** Meanwhile... In another part of the school... ***

Camma : *Looking high above a set of lockers... and low under a set of stairs.* .... GGGRRRRR!!! *She slams her fist into a wall, making a nice fist-shaped hole.* I can't believe I let him escape!

At the far end of the hall... a figure stopped... Camma's eyes squinted... then shot wide open. A look of fierce determination on her face.

Camma : *She took a step, quickly moving up to top speed... leaving a trail of dust behind her.* HOLD IT RIGHT THERE KYO!!!!

Kyo smiled, then slipped into an adjacent room, closing the door behind him.

Camma : *Skidding to a stop at the door, her shoes leaving marks on the floor.* It's over Kyo... You can't get out of that broom closet! *Her hand shot out, grasping the door knob. She nearly tore the door off it's hinges opening it.* ... You've got to be kidding me...

 Inside however... Were only a pair of brooms... and a pair of wooden boxes nailed shut.

[DashStPierre]

Dash looked at him with that glint in his eye he always gets when he knows something is up...then he walked over to Mr Fromage and whispered

Dash: One who I know is trying to take over the school and get Principal Tio fired...and if youre wondering how I know...well...we all have our secrets...

Dash walked out of the classroom and when he got to his locker he pulled out his cell phone and called home...

Dash: Hello Grams? (talking on the other end) Im gonna need the kitchen tonight along with a few friends, is that ok? To make up for it I'll talk to my job and see if we can get some pizzas delivered too (more talking)...thanks...its for a pretty big home ec project...(more talking) I'll tell you about it when I get home. Love you Grams...bye (dials Big Al) Hey Big Al, Im gonna need a big favor...

[Blackcat]

*Jack somewhat wakes up and takes note...

- 1 Dozen Eggs
- 20 Herbs & Spices
- Royal Import Sake
- Wheat Flour from Mount Fuji
- Sugar
- Honey
- Molasses

Jack thinks "Okey... I can get all this from my dad kitchen, but... the 20 Herbs & Spices thing, what herb and spices?. Yes, I am almost sure this turkey its up to something bad... and that I know him from somewhere. Anyway, I will just use the most used herb and spices... ad if that fails... well... I hope I already remenber where I know this guy from by then"

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: Well Eyah...guess we can try to make it...I can see what my bro has at our place if you want to come over...

[KyoZaber]

*The class was determined... They all began preparing their dishes to show Mr. Fromage a thing or two about cooking.
After they'd all left... Mr. Fromage sat there in his chair... Chuckling in the empty room...*

Mr. Fromage : -=Gotta give the kids credit... They've got high hopes.=- ...

*He picks up his briefcase, putting it down on the desk. He clicks a switch, and a grinding sound comes from the case. The sound of paper tearing and shredding can be heard.*

Mr. Fromage : -=Oh well... I guess someone's gotta teach 'em that even the "bad guy" wins from time to time...=- *Snickers* -=Bad guy... That was a good one...=-

*His briefcase made a disturbing pop.... Then smoke started to seep from the cracks.*

Mr. Fromage : Eh? *Looks closely.* What've we got here~?

*Within a few moments... the briefcase burst open. Whipped cream burst out of the case, pasting his face.*

Mr. Fromage : GAK! *Spitting and sputtering.* WHAT THE!?

*The whipped cream was then followed by a brick, launched smacking him in the middle of the face.*

Mr. Fromage : YEAHH!!! *Topples over onto the ground, K.O'd.* @_@

*A note was attached to the brick...*

" They were all out of cherries to put on top. Hope you like the pie. With Love~ TDFKAEO  "


*** Meanwhile... In the Royal Tipsy Room ... ***


Big Al : *Opens the door, walking in, muttering to himself...* An odd request indeed. *He kneels down, and begins digging around in a cupboard, gently moving it's contents around.* While I don't mind helping out our youth of tomorrow with their homework, I am highly concerned that I'm aiding young hooligans in acquiring booze!

*He closes the cupboard, and moves over to another one, and continues searching...*

Big Al : Hmm... Maybe I should instead give them what we give the Princess! *Picks up a bottle stuffed way in the back labeled "Royal Import Sake", and gently pulls it out.* Yeah, this'll do just fine. ^_^ ... O_o Now how am I supposed to get it there? *He lightly shutters, remembering the last time he went over to Panzers' house...* I can't allow myself to get caught in that situation again... Not with his Grandmother...

*He sets the bottle down, putting his hands on top of his head... slightly shaking.*

Big Al : She'll ask me to stay for supper again... Of course I'll have to be polite... And they'll probably serve meatloaf again... because she thinks I like meatloaf... but I don't! I don't like meatloaf! It's so meaty and loafy! Ohhh~ What am I going to do~

?? : *From Behind...* Oh~ don't worry Big Al. I'll take it over for you! *Picks up the bottle, and begins skipping off.*

Big Al : *Sighs, relaxing a bit.* Ahhh~ Thanks a lot!

?? : *Stops, poking her head back into the room.* Oh! Where is this thing going again?

Big Al : *Looks back towards the door.* Ah! It's going over to Dash St. Pierre's house!

?? : Yeah... I don't know where that is. *Smiles.* Oh! But he's the part-time pizza boy! I'll just stop by there and ask where he lives! *Continues skipping off.*

Big Al : *Wipes his brou.* Phew... I'm glad she came along... Otherwise I'd have to... *His look of calm turned to a look of horror.* OH NO NOT AGAIN!!! *He quickly gets up and dashes off.* WAIT!!!

*Before Big Al gets too far... the lights in the room cut out, and the door slammed shut... plunging Big Al into darkness...*

Big Al : T_T ... Why didn't I close the door behind me?

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero was walking with Eyah back towards his house. It was a pretty silent walk as Romero didn't know exactly what to say to Eyah, having never gotten this far with a girl....ever... He made stiff movements and appered to be sweatting enought to fill an entire ocean he was so nercous...

Romero: *nervous* S-so...E-eyah...W-what did you do with that prank stuff?

[KyoZaber]

Eyah : *Smiling, blissfully unaware.* Hmm? Oh! I used it to give someone their just dessert. *Twirls around winking at Romero.* But here's the thing... I didn't use it all in 1 shot. *Twirls back around, continuing to walk.* You've got to plan revenge properly!

[DashStPierre]

Dash was in the kitchen with about 5 or 6 other students from the class and they hadnt started on the dish as they were waiting on Big Al to come through with the sake. So all the guys were playing Modern Warfare 2 in his room while the girls were playing with Dash's sisters.

Dash: Hey Bobby I hope your cooking skills are better than your gaming skills or we're all doomed...(laughs)
Bobby: Hey man, its not like youre lighting it up either

A few moments later the doorbell rang.
Dash: I'll get it! I knew Big Al would come through...
