For anyone who still reads this, I guess a hacker did some hacking yesterday? I'm pretty confused by it myself. From what I can tell, all they did was make a post telling people to go to a website. (I didn't go to it, so I'm sorry if it was offensive to anyone.)

So yeah. That was weird. With all the things a hacker could potentially do with hacking abilities, they decided to plug a website. OKAY...whatever. I guess I'm not going to question the inner workings of crazy people. They could have at least used good grammar... that's tha part that offends me.

Anyway, yeah. I really am almost done with Four or Five. At least that part of the silly post was right.

Hey, look at this!

I was going to be an asshole and make a post about how I'm too tired to post this tonight and I'll do it in the morning... but then I was like, "If I'm going to make a post, I might as well just go all the way because lord knows I rarely do!"

So here you go. Go to my fanfiction.net profile in order to vote for the winner (which I might not pay attention to). Two chapters to go, only 2,000 words from being an even 100,000 word entry, and I don't think the fourth wall exists anymore.

SOMEONE MADE THIS:
OMFG

I found that and I was like OMFG, in case you can't tell. It's mostly just a timeline of my online/fanfiction life OMFG. I kind of want someone to start filling in all that other stuff that has thus far been left blank. I wonder what would be put under my "general information."

GOOSEBUMPS. OMFG

ps, I'm like halfway done with one of the chapters of Four or Five and it's horrible but I'm trying. FOR REALZ

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS A TRILLION TIMES BEFORE BUT I REALLY WANT TO FINISH "FOUR OR FIVE" AND "REMOTE 2"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I checked my email after 2 months of not checking it (mostly because I felt so guilty about not updating) and there were so many people giving me such kind words and AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT I am going to try to come back. I know that would mean more if I actually had something to show for this attempt, but just know I'm thinking about all of you.

OK OK OK OK OK I'M TRYING. I have to get back into the mind set. I mean, Four or Five literally has 2 more chapters I have to write since I've already written the last chapter about a year ago. WOULD YOU READ THESE STORIES AFTER THEY'VE TAKEN FOREVER AND A DAY TO FINISH???

Omfg someone please convince me this is a bad choice.

Sasuke.

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 01:50:52 GMT

OK so I'm submitting 'Sasuke' onto fanfiction.net so I don't have to think about it anymore! YAY!! BE HAPPY!!!

read me!!!

I had to think up a real name for it because I didn't want people to think it was about Sasuke. The name is really stupid because I thought about it for about two seconds. If you have any less stupid suggestions, then I wouldn't mind hearing them.

I feel like I had something else to say but I can't think of it right now. OH WELL!

Chapter LII- “I Do Like the Idea of Not Doing Work.”

“So, to answer your question, Tezuka, I was thirty-one when I finally came to terms with my identity as a woman,” said Ryuuzaki.

“What?” said Tezuka since he didn’t remember asking any questions, especially not ones that involved Ryuuzaki or her identity as a woman.

“Oh, we’re back!” exclaimed Hyoshi because he’s the go to guy when choosing someone random to say something since no one likes him and, at the same time, no one has any problem with him so when they see his name, they just glaze over it and continue reading.

“HURRAY!” cheered everyone.

“We happened to notice you misspelled ‘Heal’ and wrote ‘Hell’ in the previous chapter,” Oshitari observed.

“We approve of this change!” announced Marui.

“You will NOT be having swears in your team name!” said Ojii as he waggled his finger at the geniuses.

“Cause we’re middle school students?” inquired Sengoku.

“Exactly!” Ojii said.

“Fine…” grumbled the geniuses.

“So let’s get right into it,” said Sakaki, sounding rather excited.

Inui and Kaidou were up first for the Hard Working Team, aka Entrepreneur, which has turned out to be a really annoying team name to write so many times because it’s difficult to spell. Anyway, Inui had of course been taking copious data from the first match the Geniuses played so he was ready to undertake Fuji and Oshitari’s foolish competition against one another instead of against the other team.

“WORST MATCH EVER!” Momo shouted in response to Kaidou’s similar earlier remark in Chapter 48.

“Shut up!” Kaidou yelled uncreatively, which isn’t a word, but it should be.

“Kaidou, try to focus on the match,” said Inui as he tossed his databook aside in a needlessly dramatic way. “Though our opponents are not working in cahoots with each other, they are still formidable.”

Kaidou was too busy being thrown off by Inui’s use of the word “cahoots” to really pay attention to anything else he had said.

Fuji and Oshitari, meanwhile, were developing a strategy on their own.

“So we should work together for this match just to throw them off,” Fuji said, smiling pleasantly at Oshitari.

“Fair enough,” said Oshitari.

Renji happened to be standing pretty close by for some unexplained reason (he was probably stalking them and doing his regular creepy stuff) and he also happened to overhear what was being discussed between the two geniuses and wanted to convey this information to his best friend and possibly secret lover, Inui. He also wanted to tell Kaidou since any friend/secret lover of Inui’s is a friend/secret lover of Renji’s. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to simply shout this information to the other team because then the geniuses may have just switched up their technique, so he instead decided to convey his knowledge telepathically to Inui, since these two have obviously evolved beyond the realms of normal human abilities and developed techniques such as telepathy. But not really. He only WISHED he had magical powers. Instead, he used another ability which he and Inui had developed which was more realistic, though completely outrageous, which involved arching his eyebrows in different manners, with each angle of the brow symbolizing a word or phrase, which Inui was able to interpret and learn the secret that Renji was attempting to send him.

Pointless, yes, but useful.

“Kaidou, we have to be on guard even more so than before,” Inui reported. “Fuji and Oshitari are planning something devious.”

“Duh,” said Kaidou. (Which brings his syllable count to three so far.)

“Begin the match already!” said Sakaki impatiently.

Fuji and Oshitari had decided to start the match of fake tennis in the long interlude that had taken place while Renji was wiggling his eyebrows at Inui and pretending to have telepathic powers. Even though Fuji would have obviously easily won the round for them by taking the serve, he graciously offered it to Oshitari. And, since they were now best friends, Oshitari gladly took it and gave it a serve.

Kaidou returned it, and the ball went back and forth for a bit in flawless perfection, which makes sense because it doesn’t seem like perfection would involve any flaws. Fuji and Oshitari’s natural grace mixed with Inui and Kaidou’s clumsy stamina proved to be a very compatible match. All four of them played just like a gym class in which everyone got a turn and nothing especially magical happened, which is pretty surprising considering the quartet.

Finally, the first point was scored by Oshitari and Fuji.

“I’m bored,” Fuji said to Oshitari.

“So am I,” Oshitari agreed as he caught the ball to do the next serve.

“Now we have two options,” Fuji said. “We can either just throw the game so we can be done with it without having to do any work, or we can get serious and crush the dreams of our opposing team.”

“Well, I do like the idea of not doing work,” Oshitari.

“As much as I like not doing work, I like crushing the dreams of the innocent even more,” Fuji remarked.

“You are so evil,” Oshitari said, but it sounded endearing.

“I know,” said Fuji. “Isn’t it lovely?”

“Bordering on scary,” Oshitari admitted.

“Stop chatting and get back to the game!” commanded the coaches.

Oshitari and Fuji then spun around and pointed at Kaidou and Inui with their rackets in the most dramatic way possible with their cold stares which caused a gust of wind that was so powerful that Inui and Kaidou were knocked off their feet.

“What an aura!” Kaidou exclaimed as he got up.

Inui was unable to speak because he was frozen in fear as he adjusted his glasses.

“Let’s start,” said Oshitari as he threw the ball up into the air and served it with such intensity that the coaches decided right then and there that the match was over.

“Winners, Team Genius!” announced Ojii. No one really argued or complained because they were all petrified by Oshitari and Fuji’s collective iciness.

“Who even let them be on the same team?” Eiji whispered to Oishi since they were standing next to each other for no reason other than they’re best friends.

Inui and Kaidou returned to their team’s bench and proceeded to hack up blood for a half an hour since all of their organs were crushed by the Geniuses. But don’t worry, they were fine.

“You guys are slightly hardcore,” Kirihara commented when his teammates had come to the bench after their victory.

“Maybe someday you can aspire to be that great,” Fuji said.

“So now we’ll move onto the second doubles game,” said Ryuuzaki a little nervously. “Kirihara and Marui from Achilles’ Heel versus Shishido and Niou from Entrepreneur!”

“You can do it!” Yuuta said. “Just win like you won last time and we’re off to the finals!”

“We won last time because half of the other team had to be taken to the hospital,” said Shishido, annoyed.

“I’m just being supportive,” said Yuuta, looking hurt.

“Well stop it,” said Shishido. “It’s annoying.”

Yuuta went off to a corner to cry as the four people took the court. Fuji happened to notice what had transpired between Yuuta and Shishido and was none too pleased about the treatment his precious little brother had received, so he decided he would take matters into his own hands to make sure Shishido’s dreams (and organs) were crushed EXTRA hard.

Because Fuji is so subtle and creepy, he opted to take drastic measures right off the bat to injure Shishido’s innocent loved ones in order to cut him down extra hard, which would definitely involve his BFF Choutarou. Since Fuji is so creepy, however, his revenge would not involve instant gratification because creepiness is all in the execution, but boy would Choutarou be surprised when he returned home only to find the head of a horse in his bed!

Anyway, that’s a sad and unrelated story, so moving on. While we were on that little tangent, I’ll have you know lots of intense things happened and, for the sake of story, we’re going to say Kirihara and Marui won. This was kind of good for Entrepreneur because of Yuuta’s recent turn to the Emo Side so he probably wouldn’t have played too well against Sengoku, but of course it was actually really bad for them because that meant they were out of the tournament.

“All of our hard work…” Niou said, clenching his fist dramatically. Then he looked around to see his teammates were legitimately lamenting their loss and suddenly realized he didn’t care as much as them. And what’s worse, his BFF Yagyuu had left a while ago! The only reason he had continued to hang around was because he had the opportunity to play more tennis and he would never pass up on that, but now that he had no more chance to play tennis, he realized he didn’t need to be there anymore, especially since Yagyuu wasn’t there either! What an unnecessary and circular sentence! Oh well!

So anyway, in case you couldn’t come to your own conclusion, Niou left. This would have disqualified Entrepreneur anyway, but it didn’t matter since there was no way they were going to win in the first place since they had such bad attitudes in the previous competitions. The remaining people on the Hard Working Team threw temper tantrums and almost ran home crying, but then they decided to stay because they had reasons to watch the following rounds. Specifically, Shishido wanted to see Choutarou play tennis, Yuuta wanted to watch his brother and foam jealously, Kaidou just enjoyed anything which involved tennis and Inui would never pass on an opportunity to gain more data on people.

“Well, so yeah,” said Sakaki. “Achilles’ Heel will be playing in the finals against a team which has yet to be determined!”

“Of course, it’s between Respect Your Elders and Switch Trick Play,” Banji said, thoughtfully stroking his chin which may or may not have a beard on it. At this point, I don’t remember what he looks like anyway.

“Should we start taking bets?” Hiyoshi pondered. Yes, this is Hiyoshi’s second line in a section which he should be completely silent like the rest of the tennis players. But he’s getting special treatment.

Though, everyone ignored him so it’s not like it mattered anyway.

“But remember,” Ryuuzaki said. “Just because a certain team wins this tournament does not mean they will go to the tennis camp.”

“It helps though,” Ojii added.

“First up for the next match,” Sakaki started, checking the lineup on his clipboard. “Atsushi and Eiji from Switch Trick Play against Saeki and Ryou from Respect Your Elders! Please take to the courts!”

Heyyyyaaa!!

Against my better judgment, I've made myself a beta reader again. siiiiigh we'll see what happens. Maybe my betas will instill in me the desire to write stuff again!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 05:14:45 GMT

YAY!!! It's amazing how like one email can turn everything around.

My heinously crazy teacher sent me an email about how wonderful my final paper was and asked if she could use it as an example for future students. And this is the email I wrote back to her:

Professor,
Thank you! I spent a long time writing that paper and even sacrificed watching several more episodes of Project Runway on Youtube, which is what I usually do when I'm supposed to be doing homework for your class. I'll have you know that you single handedly made my term very difficult to manage, and I'm fairly certain you're aware of this after our three-way discussion with the Dean. However, I would very much like it if you used my paper for future classes, assuming they keep you around for another year after this ridiculous excuse for a semester, because the entire concept of the paper was totally chaotic and utterly confusing so we had to pretty much make things up as we went along. So, if I can help any future students you are torturing, that would be peachy keen. (As long as they don't plagerize any of my work.)

Thank you for the B+.

It was liberating. All she sent back was, I choose not to discuss this type of matter over email. When you return to school after break, we'll talk face to face. And I was like, NOT LIKELY, BITCH.

I mean, this woman is CRAZY. We all know who I'm talking about, right? That crazy teacher who firmly believes I am a plagerizing whore. WELL SHE'S THE WHORE. BWA HA HA HA HA!! And the paper was total bullshit, too. I don't know how I got a B+ for the class, though, considering a got a C on my midterm (for "plagerising") and failed three homeworks (also for "plagerising") and she would give us bullshit reading quizzes too. We would read a book for the class, A WHOLE BOOK, and then we'd come in and her quiz would be like, "In chapter 4, a character said, 'every race must have a color, just like every location must have a _______'" AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FILL IN THE BLANK. And that would be the only questio on the test. It's like: ARGH!!! I READ THIS BUT I DIDN'T MEMORIZE IT!!! We had no other grading criteria.

I work in dining services at the school, too, so whenever she comes in there, I've got the entiring cafeteria staff conspiring against her to give her smaller portions and charge her for extra stuff. AND when I handed in my paper, I stapled it on the wrong side just to show her how much I hate her!!! AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

Also, I straightened out the problem with that guy who was suing me. I paid the company directly so the collection agency wouldn't get any profit. And I called the guy to tell him outright that I did it out of spite and that if he ever called me again I would drive to his house and smother him with a pillow. But not really. I just told him not to call me again. But I WISH I had said that second part.

Also...it's my birthday! YAY!!! TWENTY-ONE!!!

(See that insanely happy picture of Inui from the live action movie I'm using as my icon? That's what my face looks like right now.)

I'M SO LA

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:10:03 GMT

On April Fool's Day, I got a phonecall from a lawfirm, which is apparently suing me for 106 dollars in the name of a hospital that I've never been to and is located 3 hours away from anywhere I've ever been (I mapquested it).

I IMMEDIATELY ASSUMED IT WAS A JOKE. I asked to speak to the guy with the biggest desk and he assured me (in his horrible Yankees-loving New York accent) it was not a joke and I was, in fact, being sued, and if I didn't address the problem right away then it was going to destroy my credit, which would follow me around for the next seven years and I won't be able to ever buy things because this 106 dollar thing would be all over my credit.

I was like: I'm twenty years old. Why are you acting like I know what's going on?

AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh-as if things weren't stressful enough right now with finals week and people asking me to put up a new chapter...I sort of wish I hadn't put that other one up because then no one would have expectations of me.

On a less crazy-inducing note, my birthday is in 9 days. My TWENTY FIRST birthday. Unfortunately, it's sandwiched between the last day of finals and Easter. Ah well. I'm not letting THAT stop me!!

Anyway, I have to get my fugitive-being-sued-arse into gear if I plan on passing this semester. I would make a list of what I have to do, but that will be more time consuming then actually getting something done. Rest assured that I did some simple addition and I have 22 pages worth of paper-writing I have to do by Wednesday, 8 pages of which were due yesterday and I just didn't do it because I'm being sued. Yeah, I'm going to use that as an excuse for basically everything now. There's no new chapter because... I'm being sued. Yeah, that sounds good.

(And because I just can't resist, anyone notice the amazing run-on sentence in this post?)

Whew. Good news. My teacher realized the err of her ways and everything is A-OK.

Well no. I still hate her. But whatever.

GOOD NEWS!!!!! Four or Five is featured here!! YIPEEEEEEE!!! This gives me extra incentive to finish it.

Also, I am currently rereading that story. I forgot how hilarious the WTF team is. There were a LOT of spelling and gramatical errors. OOPS. Oh well.

Maybe another chapter will come soon.......

Today I am Emo

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:23:03 GMT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IF I COULD DIGIVOLVE INTO IKKAKUMON AND FIRE A HARPOON TORPEDO AT SOMEONE, I WOULD TOTALLY FIRE ONE AT ONE OF MY ENGLISH PROFESSORS!!! RAGE!!!

She accused me of PLAGERISM! WHAT?!?!?!?!??! I am so ABOVE plagerism and I cannot believe the words fell out of her mouth.

Okay, fellow English majors out there. There's Sylvia Plath. What do we know about her? She is crazy and she is a drama queen. Also, there is controversy surrounding her use of Nazi metaphors to describe her own personal suffering. WTF. But everyone knows she did that. RIGHT?!?!?!

So I used it in my paper. This is what I stated: "The metaphor may seem, at times, a bit extreme. Over the years, certain poems have become more popular simply because of the controversy that surrounds her imagry with the notion that her suffering rivaled that of the people sent to concentration camps."

And THAT, my friend, is her basis for accusing me of plagerism. Apparently someone else thoguht of this idea before me (DUH) and I didn not give proper credit. Well, let's see, I've been an English fanatic ever since Middle School and i have taken English classes and Sylvia Plath no doubt popped up in all of these classes. Our classes undoubtably discussed the overuse of Nazi metaphor. So excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for not knowing I had to actually go back in time and cite every single class discussion we've had about Sylvia Plath while we're writing our timed inclass midterm.

As you can see, I am so frustrated that i am just flying by this entry, hardly even paying attention to mistakes and prepositional phrases and everything else that elludes proper grammar. I am angry! I AM ANGRY!!!! I didn't do anything wrong and now there's a chance I will be put in front of the school board for my so called plagerism and I might even get kicked out of school if this psycho teacher sees fit.

Cry with me. Cry with me a little.

So.....

Many people have inquired as to what was all about the recent chapter released after renouncing fanfiction a bit ago. Well, I was some reason possessed to read In Which There Is No Tennis (which is much much worse than I remember it) and, after reading that one, I wanted to read Four or Five. But then I remembered it wasn't finished and that got me sad. There was no way I was going to read something UNFINISHED!!!! But I still wanted to read it in all of its horrible glory.

Considering it was about 2 in the morning, I obviously didn't have anything better to do so I guess I was just possessed and that chapter was the lovechild of that twenty-five minutes. Who knows if I will continue it? It was pretty much just pulled out of nowhere because I didn't even really read the previous chapters recently. Ah, c'est la vie. Fortunately, since I'm hyper OCD, I have very well organized all the material that has been untouched since last year. The remaining five or so chapters have already been carefully plotted and planned out (and the last chapter actually already written) so I can actually theoretically complete this with very minimal effort. What will come of it all? Aw, who knows!

But am I allowed to celebrate my 8th birthday on fanfiction.net if I spent 8 months in a coma?

It's a....a....ANOTHER CHAPTER?!?!?

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:55:14 GMT

LI. Chapter LI. As in 51, for those of you who do not follow Roman Numerals. Yes, that's right. There is a new chapter in Four or Five! OMFGGGGGGGGGG.

I don't know why I did it. I was just sitting here and then all of a sudden was like, "Hey, that story only had a couple of chapters to go. I'm sure I can finish it!" So I wrote this dribble and hopefully it's good. I didn't read what came before it so it might be a little out of place, but I tried my best. Please enjoy it. I will make absolutely no promises about coming out with more, but for now, just have this one.

(PS WOAH. I haven't been to fanfiction.net for almost a year and it is so revamped with all these new special features that I am wicked confused. ahhhh!)

Fanfiction.net link: here.

Chapter LI- “Oishi! It's Not What It Looks Like!”

It was silent for a very long time. Probably about the equivalent of ten months, give or take a few days. Then they all awoke from their comatose states and looked around, bewildered as to why that pause had taken place.

“Why did that pause take place?” demanded a very angry tennis player.

“Let's not dwell on that right now!” said Ryuuzaki. “It's important for us to capitalize on this moment and get through as much as we can!”

“YEAH!” cheered everyone.

“So first up is Kabaji and Taka from Beanstalk Rhapsody versus Atsushi and Eiji from Switch Trick Play!” announced Ryuuzaki. “The four of you should take the courts.”

“This is a great match too!” said Eiji to his partner as they got on their side of the court. “It's kind of like the big crazy Rokkaku match.”

“Why is that?” Atsushi asked.

“Well, because me and Taka are both on Seigaku,” Eiji started. “And you and Kabaji are...” Then he paused and reconsidered his thought process. “Oh. Wait. Never mind. But it's STILL a great match!”

“Who were you confusing me with?” Atsushi said.

“No one,” said Eiji obliviously.

“I'm used to people confusing me with my brother,” said Atsushi. “But I really don't look like anyone on Hyoutei.”

“It was an honest mistake,” Eiji said defensively.

“Hey you two, stop having a lover's quarrel and get to the game!” commanded Sakaki into a megaphone.

Everyone who hadn't been paying attention quickly ran over to see who was supposedly having the lover's quarrel. Upon arriving, Oishi gasped and fainted.

“Oishi!” Eiji yelled as he managed to sprint across the court and catch his true doubles partner before he fell to the ground. (You know, since Eiji has the ability to go so fast that it looks like there are two of them there by himself.) “It's not what it looks like!”

“Eiji...” said Oishi dramatically as he looked like he was about to die.

Everyone who was standing idly by just raised their eyebrows skeptically in response and they all decided they were bored.

“We're bored,” everyone decided.

“Let's get to the tennis match then,” said Ojii, looking annoyed.

So Oishi and Eiji stopped being drama queens and finally everyone who was actually involved in the match ignored the pointless interruption and got ready to start a fun game of fake tennis.

“Oh yeah, I forgot for a minute that it was fake tennis,” said Taka to his doubles partner who happened to be Kabaji. We all know how talkative Kabaji is, so we'll just say Kabaji had a more or less generic response to Taka's remark.

As the match began, the teams on the sidelines were becoming anxious to have their own opportunities to play tennis. Choutarou and Gakuto were contemplating various moves they could use which they had developed while at practice (since they're actually on Hyoutei unlike Atsushi) and also establish effective formations because, as they would constantly point out, this is not their usual doubles situation so therefore they were at a bit of a disadvantage since Gakuto would rather be playing doubles with Oshitari while Choutarou would rather be playing doubles with Shishido. Well duh.

Anyway, while that was occurring, Tetsu was only standing there by himself, secretly hoping that Atsushi and Eiji would lose so Gakuto and Choutarou could win so that he would get a chance to play tennis even if he would have to play against Sanada and probably lose. Unfortunately, Tetsu didn't have much else to think about beside his own helplessness and tennis.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bane, Renji and Sanada were actually all watching the match. This team is quite the underdog team when it came to teamwork skillz and they were, surprisingly, being very supportive of Kabaji and Taka who were holding their own against Atsushi and Eiji. The match itself wasn't so interesting...just the fact that everyone had different fans, but that would be true for any match.

“Thanks to Oishi forgiving and supporting me, I was able to win!” Eiji exclaimed.

“Congratulations Eiji!” Oishi said.

“Thank you, Oishi!” said Eiji.

And they might have performed some sort of “BFFL” Ritual right then and there and gone into SYNCHRO and all that jazz, but no one felt like paying anymore attention to them so they were dismissed, or at least told to have their party elsewhere.

“It's all right,” said Sanada as Kabaji and Taka came over, defeated.

“I feel like you two should have won easily,” Bane said, trying to lean over and check Renji's databook. “You both excel in the powerhouse department.”

Renji was very protective of said book as he stood up. “Tennis moves displayed by Atsushi and Eiji would have been impossible for Kabaji to immitate,” he reflected. “Perhaps my original suggestion for the formation would have been ideal.”

Renji didn't give Sanada an opportunity to bitch slap him because he just walked away all dramatically with his eyes closed. Bane shrugged it off and frolicked after Renji since the two of them were up in the next match.

“Renji and Bane from Beanstalk Rhapsody!” said Ryuuzaki. “Versus Gakuto and Ootori from Switch Trick Play!”

“If we don't win this one then we're out,” said Taka.

“And I won't get to play tennis,” said Sanada, crossing his arms with a frown. For some odd reason, they both decided to look at Kabaji for his addition to the conversation.

“Usu,” said Kabaji.

“Wow, this is an interesting match!” said Atsushi to Eiji and Tetsu. The two just looked confused. “Well, because Gakuto and Ootori are both on Hyoutei while Bane is on Rokkaku and Renji is on Rikkai Dai!”

There was quietness.

“Are you making fun of me?” Eiji inquired.

“Yes,” said Atsushi.

“Well don't,” said Eiji. “It makes me feel bad about myself!”

“Fine,” said Atsushi.

“And, if you took a second to look at the match, then you would realize that it is an interesting match,” said Tetsu.

“Why?” said Eiji and Atsushi quizzically.

“Because all four of them are good tennis players with exceptional serves!” Tetsu announced.

“Yes, but we have to figure out a commonality between all four of them,” said Eiji, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

“Yeah, now I feel as though it's our duty,” Atsushi agreed.

The unlikely partners in crime collaborated everything they knew on the four players while Tetsu just sat by and sobbed because they wouldn't listen to him when he said they were all good tennis players, which was their commonality.

“Now's our service,” said Gakuto as he threw the tennis ball to Choutarou. “If you make sure they don't even get a chance to return any serves, then we win the match and we move on to play against the 3rd Years! And I want to crush them so bad...”

“Why?” Choutarou asked.

“Because they're so cocky!” Gakuto answered.

The two of them looked over at Respect Your Elders as they all just sat around laughing and slapping their knees. Perhaps to a casual onlooker, they were only having a joyous time watching the tennis match, but to a competitive eye, they were judging everyone else.

“You're right!” Choutarou agreed.

“Plus, they're the ones who are probably in the front running for going to this tennis camp since they did well in all of the challenges,” Gakuto continued. “We can't let them be the ones who go, right?”

“Not with attitudes like theirs,” said Choutarou.

“Yeah, so let's do this using that as our motivation!” Gakuto announced.

“I'll put all my heart and soul into it!” Choutarou said as he threw the ball up into the air and served it.

Gakuto and Choutarou's playing increased basically a hundred thousand fold because they were so sparked with the need to take down the 3rd Years who were acting cocky. Bane and Renji didn't even know what hit them!

“What just hit us?” Renji inquired.

“Try opening your eyes,” Bane suggested.

“Pfft,” said Renji.

“Winners!” Ryuuzaki announced. “Switch Trick Play!”

“YAY!” cheered the team of doubles players as they all ran to each other in a group and hugged like they were being paid for it.

“Oh well,” said Sanada. “I find it annoying that I don't seem to get to play tennis ever...but I'll get over it somehow.”

“Yeah, when we're at the tennis camp,” said Bane enthusiastically.

“That's the spirit!” said Taka gleefully.

“Did you find a commonality for all four of the players?” Tetsu asked Atsushi and Eiji.

“That is so last page,” said Eiji and Atsushi.

“Aww...” said Tetsu, feeling ultimately left out.

“Congratulations!” said Ryuuzaki. “I believe that ends this round! With only four teams left, this is getting more and more exciting by the moment! The tension is palpable! You could potentially cut through this tension with a knife and serve it as a tension cake!”

When she noticed everyone was looking upon her with concern for her mental health, she decided to move on.

“Achilles' Heel will play against Entrepreneur in the first match,” she said, reading off her handy-dandy clipboard. “And then we'll have Respect Your Elders against Switch Trick Play. You all remember where you're supposed to be?”

“And I suppose those of us who failed to be associated with a winning team should just sit back and watch, am I correct?” Atobe questioned.

“Yes,” said Banji. “If anyone leaves then that person automatically disqualifies his entire team! Which means, yes, Team FRESHMAN was disqualified. We're still debating on whether Pillars should be eliminated based on Yukimura and Tezuka's required trip to the hospital...”

“They didn't leave because they wanted to,” said Atobe. “They were so dedicated and intense about going to this tennis camp that they injured themselves.”

“If anything,” Tachibana chimed in. “We should receive brownie points for their dedication.”

“We'll consider it!” said Ryuuzaki. “For now, we're going to move onto the next match, and it's a doozy! Will Entrepreneur and Achilles' Hell please take to the courts!”

In spite of myself, I don't feel confident enough to publish my original work, even on fiction website. Something about it is so embarrassing! I'm just afraid that it's all imperfect, cause I have always recieved positive remarks about how well I portray characters (even if it is to the extreme) so if you take all those comments away, I don't know what will be left.

Frankly, I'm nervous. I don't know if I'm ready and I don't think I will ever really be ready. ALAS.

And I lost my watch. I feel inadequet not knowing what time it is.

The word of the day is "Magnamious" which means to be free of evil thoughts.

The reason why this entry is so retarded and fragmented is because it is my roommates 21st birthday party and I have retreated into my room for a moment to make this post. Something about my current state of mind just COMMANDED me to do this. Anyway, back to the party-making! PEACE.

You guys are sincerely awesome. My previous post was intended to be my last, but I've decided I will keep communications open, and start with this story of an obnoxious ex-roommate.

So she lived with me last term but moved out before the start of this term. Now, since our beds suck, she bought a board to put under her mattress so she didn't sink into the bed. However, she accidentally left it in my room when she moved out. Today she came and picked it up and, in the process, left my room in chaos. Since I'm OCD, I put sheets and blankets on the bed so it wouldn't be ugly. She tore the board out and left all the blankets on the floor and even knocked a few things over on her way out. She also had to move a desk but that was only like a foot so it doesn't really matter. BUT STILL!! WTF!!! And it's not like we parted on bad terms. I sent her a passive aggressive text message. > |

BOO!!!

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:22:05 GMT

Allo?

Is this thing on?

Ah yes.

To all of you who are still paying attention after all this time, I'm going to give this little announcement. As you may have noticed, I have not updated in a very long time and I feel as though I must comment about this simply because I have recieved many concerned letters asking if I am dead or contracted some kind of horrible disease.

As it would happen, neither of those things have occurred. To put it simply, I have basically decided to cease in the fanfiction writing department. Frankly, it was energy depleting and I couldn't focus on my own creative writing--you know, with characters that weren't created by someone else. I do hope you all understand and I appreciate everyone who has supported me up to this point and I certainly apologize about the abrupt ending, but I suppose you may have sensed it building up to this point.

Thank you thank you. If you still want to email back and forth about writing or something I know a little about, I wouldn't mind putting your name in my inbox and having a go at it.

Peace!! <3

Funniest story ever.

Okay, so for one of my classes I took an entire year ago, my group and I made a video about Anna Nicole Smith analyzing her personality using several different theories. Out of nowhere this guy gets my instant messaging address somehow and starts chatting with me. He basically wants to know more information.

Now, it has been a year since I've taken this class so I pretty much don't remember anything. And, at the time he is speaking with me, I happen to be having a small partizzle with my friends so I tell him to message me another time.

Well, yesterday he did so. And it was very amusing. Under the cut, you can read our conversation, but I can give you the short version right here if you don't want to read the whole thing. (I think you should, though, because it's fucking hilarious.)

1) He messages me and tries to make small talk, but I am tutoring in the library and don't feel very much like talking to this creeper who somehow got my instant messaging address.

2) He whores out his myspace page and starts to drop subtle hints that he wants me to write his paper for him.

3) He asks straight out if I would write his paper for him.

4) I say no. He sorta acts like a jerk, so I call him a jerk. He flips out.

5) No like seriously. He FLIPS OUT. WTF. He starts calling himself part of a royal family and a doctor and whores out his myspace page again and all this random stuff that makes no sense whatsoever.

6) Just as he's about to leave, I decide I want to play around some more. So I start to apologize so he'll talk to me more and be outrageous again.

7) I pretend to write a paper for him. It's twenty-five pages of the word "douchebag."

8) When I send it to him, he flips out again and then signs off, only after I mock him for failing to use the word "outsmarted."

SameerG35Money (10:42:52 PM): would you like to see more pictures of me? are you thinking that im just a 'fake'?
SameerG35Money (10:42:56 PM): i unprivated my page for you
MuusuLink (10:43:16 PM): I never said anything like that to you. But the fact that you're being so aggressive about it makes me somewhat suspicious.
SameerG35Money (10:43:17 PM): I will make it private now, are you done glancing at it, and reading the comments from all of my friends? ITS MY PAGE, REAL PAGE
SameerG35Money (10:43:41 PM): Your friend had mentioned that
SameerG35Money (10:43:48 PM): and she had judged me
SameerG35Money (10:43:51 PM): based on my look as a 'hooker'
SameerG35Money (10:43:56 PM): how rude
MuusuLink (10:44:12 PM): You don't think your earlier comments towards me were rude?
SameerG35Money (10:44:25 PM): of course, but nobody calls me a 'jerk'
SameerG35Money (10:44:34 PM): that throws it all down to a point where i basically do not care who the person is, and i get rude myself
MuusuLink (10:45:01 PM): Well, that's no excuse to make such comments.
SameerG35Money (10:45:18 PM): calling me a 'jerk' is the same as a guy calling a girl 'bitch'
SameerG35Money (10:45:21 PM): thats my attitude
SameerG35Money (10:45:31 PM): hate it or love it
MuusuLink (10:45:34 PM): So? You ranted for quite a while and used a lot of profanity.
SameerG35Money (10:45:40 PM): of course
SameerG35Money (10:45:48 PM): dont tell me what i did, i know what i said
SameerG35Money (10:46:13 PM): may i unblock my page now? are you done glancing at it?
MuusuLink (10:46:44 PM): Yeah, I finished a little while ago.
SameerG35Money (10:46:52 PM): ok
SameerG35Money (10:47:08 PM): so what's the deal here, help or no?
MuusuLink (10:47:32 PM): I already told you I'm writing the paper for you and I'm sorry for calling you a jerk
SameerG35Money (10:48:03 PM): Alright hun, well I accept your apology, and I am sorry for calling you those names when you never knew that calling me a 'jerk' would throw my mindset to a whole new level
MuusuLink (10:49:13 PM): That's not something you can just write off. The way you reacted was extremely inappropriate and I think you should look into some mood stabilizers if someone calling you a "jerk" will make you flip out like that.
SameerG35Money (10:49:34 PM): I'm from New york
SameerG35Money (10:49:47 PM): I have the " i dont give a fuck " attitude
MuusuLink (10:49:54 PM): Obviously

SameerG35Money (10:50:02 PM): when people are sweet with me
SameerG35Money (10:50:07 PM): once they cross the line, its over
SameerG35Money (10:50:11 PM): kapeesh?
MuusuLink (10:50:25 PM): Uh huh...and I crossed the line because I said I wouldn't write a paper for you and called you a jerk.
SameerG35Money (10:50:47 PM): You crossed the line whe you called me a 'jerk' thats it
SameerG35Money (10:50:49 PM): Whateva
SameerG35Money (10:50:58 PM): past is past
SameerG35Money (10:51:04 PM): question for you is
SameerG35Money (10:52:29 PM): why are you willing into helping me ?
SameerG35Money (10:52:29 PM): why do you feel bad?
MuusuLink (10:52:56 PM): HOnestly, I don't feel bad at all.
MuusuLink (10:53:13 PM): Here, that's the one I wrote for you

Four or Five Chapter....L?

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 01:24:04 GMT

YAY!! CHAPTER L!! I love Roman Numerals.

Anyway, REMOTE 2: Rerun gleefully welcomes Four or Five into middle agedness.

The next chapter will be especially difficult to write because, addmittedly, Team Tall and Team Doubles are my two favorite teams. Eliminating one of them will be heartbreaking.

Title: Four or Five- Chapter L
Chapter Title: "It's Like One Big Crazy Rokkaku Match!"
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Characters: Everyone in the world
Rating: PG
Summary: Just look at the title. It says it all.
Disclaimer: I own the Prince of Tennis.
Fanfiction.net link: here.

Chapter L- “It’s Like One Big Crazy Rokkaku Match!”

“Okay, guys, this’ll be no problem,” said Jirou to the rest of his 3rd Year Team. “We’ve owned in basically all of the other competitions so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t own this one too!”

“But we shouldn’t get cocky,” Saeki warned.

“With a name like ‘Respect Your Elders,’ shouldn’t we act as cocky as possible?” Yanagisawa asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Well, yes, I suppose so,” Saeki reasoned. “As long as it’s not too mean spirited.”

“So Saeki and Ryou are in the first doubles match,” said Oishi as he looked up from the huddle to see the other team. “It looks like you guys are playing against Kentarou and Itsuki.”

“No problem,” said Ryou. “It’ll be a synch.”

“You really think so?” said Saeki.

“This is going to be one big ridiculous Rokkaku tennis match,” Jirou observed.

“I know, that’s exactly why I’m nervous,” said Saeki.

“Why?” said Ryou. “We know Kentarou is going to throw the first round, so let’s give them the serve so we’ll have the advantage.”

“That’s true,” Oishi said. “He will do that. And then you just have to capitalize on the second game and you win.”

“Fair enough,” Saeki nodded. “I just hope we can do it.”

“We can!” said Yanagisawa.

And then they all did a secret handshake.

Meanwhile, the WTF Team was less than enthusiastic. They all sort of knew it was going to be difficult for them to own, considering they had just been thrown together at the last minute. But they also happened to notice it was going to be one big crazy Rokkaku match.

“All right!” said Kentarou. “We know exactly how to play against them!”

“But don’t they know exactly how to play against us too?” Itsuki worried.

“True, but we’ll use it against them,” Kentarou said. “This has got to be a real game and not just a practice.”

“It’ll sure seem like a practice,” David noted.

“Well, at least we have a cheering squad,” Yagyuu observed as the Freshman Trio appeared out of nowhere with signs that supported them and big foam fingers and various other things to show their love an affection towards them.

“Wow, they’re not bitter at all,” Ryoma said, looking slightly impressed. “I would have been bitter if I had been in their situation.”

“Well, we’re glad we didn’t switch you out because of our own personal bitterness since this is a tennis competition after all,” said Yagyuu.

“I hope I get a chance to play,” Ryoma said, crossing his arms.

“Are you insinuating that we might perform well enough to get to the singles match?” Kentarou demanded. “You’re saying both of us will lose?”

“I don’t know. Maybe. There’s no guarantee.”

Sure, Ryoma was a tool and all, but he is the Prince of Tennis, so can you blame him?

“Saeki and Ryou from Respect Your Elders!” Sakaki announced. “Versus Kentarou and Itsuki from FRESHMAN!”

“Wow!” exclaimed Eiji because he thought he was the most observant person in the world. “They’re all on Rokkaku! It’s like one big crazy Rokkaku match!”

“Duh, Eiji,” said basically everyone except Oishi who comforted him since everyone had just made fun of him.

And thus, the one big crazy Rokkaku match began.

The WTF side didn’t exactly think everything through as well as the 3rd Years. Saeki graciously offered Kentarou and Itsuki the first serve, which they took so willingly. And, of course, Kentarou promptly threw that match so he could be under pressure!

“Would you like to serve?” Ryou asked his teammate.

“Why, sure, I will,” said Saeki as he took the tennis ball.

Kentarou and Itsuki looked at each other. “Throwing that first match wasn’t a good idea, was it?” Itsuki said.

“No, not with fake tennis,” Kentarou replied uneasily.

And thus the tennis began. To make an otherwise long and tedious match short, we’ll just say that Saeki and Ryou won.

“Hurray!” cheered Jirou.

“There was so much hype to that match but it went by so quickly!” Eiji exclaimed, looking disappointed.

“There wasn’t any hype to that match,” said Gakuto since he happened to be the one who was standing next to Eiji at the time.

“Yes there was!” said Eiji.

“What was the hype?”

“It was one big crazy Rokkaku match!”

Gakuto raised an eyebrow. “Again, where’s the hype?”

“I don’t know,” said Eiji. “I just thought it was funny and unique that everyone who was playing in that match was on Rokkaku, okay?”

“Whoa, whatever,” said Gakuto.

“Let’s stop fighting,” suggested Choutarou. “We’re going to miss the match!”

“I didn’t even realize Oishi was playing!” Eiji yelled as he whipped out his giant foam fingers and various flags. “GO OISHI!”

“Thank you Eiji!” said Oishi as he clenched his fist dramatically and got the will to make a glorious comeback with the help of both Eiji’s encouragement and his teammate, Yanagisawa. Okay, well, it was mostly just Eiji’s encouragement.

“I thought we had that match in the bag!” said David. “Then Oishi got his second wind!”

Yagyuu only stared at David. “You know,” he said. “There is absolutely no chance the coaches would send the WTF team to the tennis camp.”

“So true,” David said.

“And the team we are playing against has done consistently well in all the challenges so far,” Yagyuu reasoned.

“Again, true,” David agreed.

“So,” said Yagyuu. “Instead of standing here fooling myself into thinking I can go to this prestigious tennis camp, I’m just going to call it a day.”

With that, Yagyuu walked back over to his team bench, picked up all his things and strolled away.

“Hey, wait a second!” said Ryoma once he realized that made the match a forfeit.

“You know, I wasn’t going to agree with that decision,” said David, walking over.

“But I want a turn to play tennis!” Ryoma said, on the verge of a temper tantrum.

“What just happened?” said Yanagisawa to Oishi.

Oishi shrugged and looked at Sakaki.

“Uh…” Sakaki stuttered awkwardly. “Respect Your Elders wins!”

“HURRAY!” cheered Team 3rd Years as they jumped up into the air like Power Ran—well, that simile is overdone. They jump into the air like…uh…airborne people. Uh…Power Rangers!

“This is an outrage!” said Ryoma, actually looking passionate. “I demand we get another opportunity to play!”

“How so?” asked Sakaki.

“I’ll play with David on the second doubles team,” said Ryoma, picking up his racket.

“Then who will play singles?” Itsuki asked.

“We need the singles match because we lost the first one,” said Kentarou. “And the same person can’t play in more than one match.”

“But…but…it’s fake tennis!” Ryoma said. “We can bend the rules!”

“I’m sorry, Ryoma, but your team loses this round,” said Ryuuzaki as she tried to comfortingly put a hand on Ryoma’s shoulder, but Ryoma decided to be childish and unsportsmanlike and stomp off, leaving big Ryoma sized footprints in the ground.

Everyone chuckled at him as he departed, and Sakaki decided to reannounce the winners because they had been upstaged by Ryoma’s outburst. “Winners! Respect Your Elders!” he called through a megaphone as Banji and Ojii worked together to pull an enormous ball of confetti.

“No!” Ryuuzaki exclaimed. “That giant ball was for the overall winner of the entire tournament!”

“It’s a sign of things to come!” declared Jirou.

“That’s what you think,” said every other team snidely.

“So Respect Your Elders will move onto the next round and play against either Beanstalk Rhapsody or Switch Trick Play,” said Banji as he didn’t care about the confetti or the trash talking.

“It’ll be a good match,” said Fuji. He might have been serious, or it might have been more trash talking, but no one was going to challenge him.

“Will you cheer for me, Oishi?” Eiji asked eagerly.

“Of course, Eiji!” said Oishi. “You don’t even have to ask!”

“This will prove to be a very enthralling match-up…” said Ojii, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

RR Chapter 50!!!

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:12:28 GMT

So it has been a VERRRRRY busy few days for me. My roommate moved out and then like 20 minutes later my new roommate moved in. This makes number 6 and I'm only a sophomore. And the best part is, none of them left because of me. All of them left because they wanted to move down the hall with a friend, which is totally fine with me. It's like, "Get lost! I help you move out if I have to!" I think that has to be some kind of record. I should write a book. I'll call it "12 Roommates." It's because I estimate I'll have about that many by the time I graduate.

Anyway, no one cares! Here's the next chapter of REMOTE 2: RERUN! Now OFFICIALLY middle aged! (PS I wrote this chapter in like 10 minutes. I was COOKING!)

Title: REMOTE 2: Rerun
Chapter Title: "The Sorting"
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Characters: Everyone in the world
Rating: PG-13
Summary: I tried to make this chapter different from the original one.
*NOTES*: Well, it seems as though this story has been cleverly constructed so you don't really have to read the original in order to understand it. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend reading the original first.
Fanfiction.net link: here.

Channel 150- The Sorting

“I’m sorry, but if you’re going to be staying at Hogwarts again then the rest of you will have to be sorted as well,” said Dumbledore with a sigh as everyone stood in front of them and gave heavy and exasperated sighs.

“Does everyone remember where they were before?” Hiyoshi asked. “Me and Shinji are in Hufflepuff.”

“Yeah, so am I,” said Eiji, looking depressed because Oishi wasn’t in the same house as him.

So the people who had already been sorted split up to make it easier for those who had to be sorted. Momo, Taka, Oishi and Ryoma were all in Gryffindor. Eiji, Choutarou, Kamio, Hiyoshi and Shinji were in Hufflepuff. Atobe, Kirihara, Shishido, Fuji and Kaidou were in Slytherin. Finally, Ryou, Atsushi, Oshitari and Inui were in Ravenclaw.

“Who will go first?” Dumbledore asked, holding the hat.

“We’ll just go in order again,” Inui said, gesturing for Saeki and Itsuki to take the initiative and volunteer themselves.

Saeki decided to go first and he sat down on the stool. Dumbledore put the sorting hat on his head and after somewhat of a pause, the hat screamed, “RAVENCLAW!”

Saeki jumped about a million miles (give or take) in the air and nearly stumbled off the stool.

“Oh yeah, the hat screams stuff,” said Momo.

“Someone could have warned me!” Saeki exclaimed.

“I thought it was obvious, said Dumbledore.

“No, not particularly,” Saeki said.

“Regardless, you are now in Ravenclaw,” said Dumbledore.

“It’s the best house,” said Oshitari since he was also in Ravenclaw.

“No way,” Atobe said, crossing his arms. “Slytherin is the best.”

“All the houses are equal in wonderfulness,” said Dumbledore.

But everyone just said whatever to him as Itsuki sat down at the stool. He was prepared for the hat to shout something, but it took a little while for the hat to come to a conclusion before it shouted, “GRYFFINDOR!”

“You know, it’s not really necessary to scream since this is a small room and we’re all standing pretty close,” said Shishido.

“It is the Sorting Hat’s way,” said Dumbledore. “Who is next?”

“Bane,” Inui ordered.

“Fine,” said Bane as he sat down. “I just hope I don’t get Hufflepuff. That one has a stupid name.”

“OH YEAH?” shouted the hat. “Very well then, HUFFLEPUFF!”

“Hey!” said Bane. “I don’t want to be in the worst house!”

“Hufflepuff isn’t that bad!” said Kamio, putting his hands on his hips.

“Hufflepuff isn’t bad at all,” Shinji corrected him.

David was the next to be sorted. “GRYFFINDOR!” said the hat.

“I’m glad I’m not in Hufflepuff too just because I don’t want to be punched,” said David, taking a look at the other people who were in Gryffindor.

“I’ll come over and visit,” said Bane as if that sort of thing should be exciting for David.

Next up in line was Shiraishi.

“Someone has been put into every house so far except Slytherin,” said Kirihara. “Which only goes to show how exclusive and awesome it is.”

“Oh yeah,” said the rest of the Slytherin members as they high fived.

Everyone kind of wanted Shiraishi to be put in Slytherin just because they wanted the others to have to take their heinous comments back, but unfortunately the hat ended up saying, “RAVENCLAW!”

“Well, maybe it’s just that Ravenclaw is the best so they like to pile all the best people in it!” said Ryou.

“It’s true,” said Inui thoughtfully. “Shiraishi did beat Fuji in tennis.”

Fuji squinted his eye at Inui who quickly looked away, and was thankful for his glasses because those things filter that kind of shit.

Marui was next in line. He moved his health bar and special move bar to the side so the hat could fit on his head. “GRYFFINDOR!” shouted the hat.

“I fail to see the significance of the houses anyway!” said Marui. Everyone still wanted to break the Slytherin seal.

It was Jackal’s turn next so he pushed his health and special move bars to the side as well and donned the hat. The hat waited a long time because Jackal doesn’t really have a personality (maybe even less so than Hiyoshi) and then the hat finally said, “HUFFLEPUFF!”

“It’s too bad that Rikkai Dai is all split up like this,” said Jackal but, again, he just wanted to be the one to get into Slytherin first.

The only ones that remained were Niou and Yagyuu and just as they were discussing who would go first, Dumbledore put his hand up. “Sorry,” he said. “I think I must draw the line at admitting the undead into Hogwarts.”

“Well, we’re not really zombies,” said Yagyuu, holding Niou back before he could smack a bitch.

“Do you eat brains of the living?” Dumbledore asked.

Yagyuu and Niou looked at each other. “No,” said Niou unconvincingly.

When Dumbledore gave them a look, Yagyuu said, “Well, admittedly, sometimes.”

“Then you’re real zombies and therefore you can’t be in Hogwarts,” said Dumbledore.

“Hey, show me the rule in the Hogwarts book that says zombies can’t go to the school!” Kirihara demanded, coming to the defense of his fellow Rikkai Dai members.

“Well…there is no rule…” Dumbledore said.

“Besides, we’re only going to be here for a day at the most,” Inui said. “Our mission is only to win another game of Quiddich.”

Dumbledore looked a little disgruntled, but he finally caved. “Very well,” he said. “But you must wear cloaks at all time! If the students found out that you were zombies, they might want to go home.”

No one wanted to tell Dumbledore that it was unlikely anyone would want to leave if they found out zombies were on campus. After all, everyone stayed in school when there was a giant man eating snake slithering about in the pipes, and everyone stayed in school when various other horrible and unnatural things were occurring during the year.

So Dumbledore reluctantly started to put the Sorting Hat on Niou’s head, but before the hat touched him, it shouted, “SLYTHERIN!”

“Lame!” said Shishido.

“And the other one, Slytherin too,” said the hat.

“You don’t even have to check?” said Yagyuu.

“I just don’t want to touch you guys,” said the hat.

“I take offense to that,” said Yagyuu.

“Well, anyway,” said Dumbledore. “You may all go to your houses. And I would just like to say again that we are very thankful you eradicated the Dark Lord during your last visit and that is the only reason why I can forgive the murder of Professor Snape and half of the Gryffindor Quiddich Team including my favorite, Harry Potter.”

“I’m very sorry about that,” said Choutarou, bowing his head in shame.

“I’m not sorry,” said Atobe since he had been the one to dispose of Professor Snape.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and then dismissed them to head to their common rooms until the next Hufflepuff Quiddich game.

“Are you still going to play as the Seeker for Hufflepuff, Ootori?” Hiyoshi asked.

“Well sure,” said Choutarou. “If it will help us get to the next Universe faster, then I’m always willing to help!”

“Hey, can I play on the Quiddich Team too?” Jackal asked.

“No, you’re not magical like us,” said Shinji. “And therefore you wouldn’t be able to make your broom fly and therefore you would be pretty useless when it came to a game of Quiddich because you wouldn’t be able to get off the ground.”

Hiyoshi looked like he was only waiting for Shinji to finish and then he added, “Besides, we don’t feel like explaining the rules to you.”

“Can you explain the rules to me?” Bane asked.

“It’s not that interesting,” Eiji admitted.

“And it’s really complicated and annoying,” said Hiyoshi. “And if the game goes by as fast as it did last time then we shouldn’t have a problem, especially since Harry Potter is dead.”

“Who’s Harry Potter?” asked Bane.

“That is an even longer and more complicated explanation,” said Shinji. “But I’ll start if you want me to.”

“No, that’s all right,” said everyone else.

Chapter XLIX- The Fleeting Moment of Confusion.”

“The first match will be Jackal and Yukimura from Pillars against Inui and Kaidou from Entrepreneur,” said Ryuuzaki.

“Thank you for saying our team name correctly,” said Tezuka to Ryuuzaki.

“No problem, Tezuka,” said Ryuuzaki. “It’s the least I can do for missing basically all practices ever and being a completely insufficient coach by forcing all of my responsibilities concerning the Seigaku tennis team on you.”

“It’s about time I got some recognition for that,” said Tezuka.

“Anyway, who would like to serve first?” said Sakaki to the teams. “We could flip a coin.”

“They can serve first,” said Yukimura, gesturing to Inui and Kaidou.

“You think we need it?” said Kaidou angrily.

“It’s all right, Kaidou,” said Inui. “It doesn’t matter who serves first since each team gets to have a fair shot.”

“Fine,” said Kaidou but he still looked like he wanted to kill things.

Since Inui is the one with the super duper record breaking serve, he took the tennis ball and decided to serve. Since Yukimura is like a Dragon Ball Z character, he managed to return the serve with apparent ease, even though Inui’s serve is fantastic.

“How did he do that?” exclaimed everyone because they just wanted to express their state of awe and didn’t necessarily want an explanation but OF COURSE Renji came out of nowhere and began a long winded explanation.

It sort of made everyone back away from him except for a choice few who stood there either nodding their heads in agreement or still standing there in complete hypnotic awe.

And, since Inui apparently has super powers as previously displayed, he managed to overhear the entire explanation and thanked his lucky stars for his buddy’s inability to keep his mouth shut about his teammates’ weaknesses.

So therefore Inui made some adjustments right then and there in the middle of the game and suddenly had the ability to force the serve past Yukimura.

Yukimura dove for the ball but, as it bounced behind him and Sakaki called the point, his normal happy demeanor suddenly changed as he threw a cold death stare at Inui. Even Fuji had to acknowledge Yukimura’s cold death stare and remark on how he must have been practicing on small animals because he himself felt somewhat of a shiver. But only somewhat.

“Are you all right, Yukimura?” asked Jackal as Yukimura only stood there with his death glare. It’s a good thing Inui was wearing glasses because those things filter that shit so it’s not as harsh.

“I’m just fine, Jackal,” said Yukimura. “Just get ready for the next serve.”

“Hm…” said Tezuka to Atobe as the tennis ball went back and forth. “Perhaps Kaidou and Jackal should step out of the court and have Yukimura and Inui play an unofficial singles match.”

Atobe looked at Tezuka skeptically. “You know, Tezuka,” he said. “Contrary to what you may have been told, that’s actually not allowed in regulation tennis.”

“May or may not you be referring to something that may or may not have occurred in the past, by any chance?” Tezuka retorted.

Atobe only stared at Tezuka as if to say, “Whatev.”

“Game!” said Sakaki.

Atobe and Tezuka looked over since they were apparently the only ones who weren’t paying attention to the match. They were quite shocked to discover Sakaki pointing at Inui and Kaidou who were having a party with their teammates.

Jackal and Yukimura went back over to the Captains Team.

“And what exactly happened?” said Tachibana, sounding disappointed. I suppose he wasn’t paying attention either.

“Or, rather, what didn’t happen?” Atobe followed up.

“Don’t judge us!” said Jackal.

“I know what happened,” said Tezuka, crossing his arms. “You were up against a very strong doubles team from Seigaku. I have trained them well.”

“Yeah, and also we had to forfeit because my horrible debilitating disease was feeling particularly debilitating today,” said Yukimura. “Could someone call an ambulance?”

“Yukimura!” exclaimed Sanada as he ran over. “Are you feeling ill?”

“Very much so,” said Yukimura as he put his hand on his forehead and fainted. Thankfully, Sanada was there to scoop him up and take him to the nearest facility that could tend to his horrible debilitating disease.

“Unlucky,” said Tachibana.

“Next is Atobe and Tezuka from Pillars versus Shishido and Niou from Entrepreneur!” announced Sakaki. “Please come to the court!”

“I sure hope Yukimura is going to be okay,” said Niou as he and Shishido took to the court.

“We have much more important things to do right now!” said Shishido. “Tennis!”

“Oh right,” said Niou as he got into the zone. “You’ve studied my playing style and everything, right? Quick, let me wear your hat!”

Shishido immediately protected his hat as Niou made a grab for it. “What?” he demanded. “Why? What are you talking about?”

“We have to pretend we’re each other for the first part of the match to send our opponents into a fleeting state of confusion when we switch back in the second part!” said Niou, looking all excited.

“What’s the point of that?” said Shishido.

“The fleeting moment of confusion,” said Niou as if it were obvious. Well, it was. TO HIM.

“No, that’s lame!” Shishido said forcefully. “We are just going to play against him like normal people who are better than other people!”

He looked over at Atobe and Tezuka who were both standing on the other side of the court with their rackets, both looking exceptionally intimidating. Then he looked back to the rest of his team and demanded, “How did I end up in this match?”

“Just play!” commanded Kaidou.

And so that’s what he did. He and Niou played quite well together but, let’s be frank. Though Atobe and Tezuka have had their share of disagreements and arguments in the past, there is not a snowball’s chance in hell that they would have lost of Shishido and Niou. No offense to those two or anything, but realistically. Come on.

UNLESS…

“My horrible recurring injury that always comes back to haunt me at the worst of times!” Tezuka exclaimed as he fell to the court in a heap and the ball went right by him.

“We got a point?” said Shishido.

“We got a point!” exclaimed Niou. And so the new best friends hugged each other and danced around in circles.

“Are you for real, Tezuka?” said Atobe, looking around as if he were embarrassed. “We only had to get one more point to win.”

“It’s far too painful for me to play anymore,” said Tezuka.

“We already had to forfeit the previous match,” Atobe pointed out.

Tezuka shrugged, which only caused him more pain so he regretted it a second later.

And so, Tezuka and Atobe were unable to continue playing and therefore they forfeited their match, declaring Team Hard Working as the winners!

“Wow, did anybody see that coming?” said Niou.

“No,” said Yuuta. “Though, doesn’t the win feel somewhat empty?”

“Why do you say that?” asked Shishido.

“Because we only one our matches because members of the other team got injured,” Yuuta said. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me.”

“It is just you,” said Shishido. “You’re just mad because you didn’t get a chance to play yet.”

“Um…” said Yuuta uneasily.

“All right, all right!” said Ojii. “Congratulations Entrepreneur! You will go onto play Achilles’ Heel in the next round!”

Team Hard Working looked at the Geniuses who happened to be striking a B-A pose at the moment. And then they secretly hoped many injuries upon them.

“The next match has quite an ironic twist!” said Banji. “It pits the oldest team against the youngest team! Respect Your Elders, Team 3rd Years, will play against FRESHMAN, Team WTF!”

“That would be ironic if it wasn’t for the fact that there are only two actual freshmen on this team,” Kentarou shrugged.

“Can we change our team name?” sighed Yagyuu.

REMOTE 2: Rerun is almost middle aged.

And I'm sorry this took so long. You may find a few excuses in the chapter if you read between the lines. AKA the excuses are all within the chapter.

Title: REMOTE 2: Rerun
Chapter Title: "Mono"
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Characters: Everyone in the world
Rating: PG-13
Summary: This is a record for how short they stay in a single Universe! Hey, isn't that the kissing disease?
*NOTES*: Well, it seems as though this story has been cleverly constructed so you don't really have to read the original in order to understand it. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend reading the original first.
Fanfiction.net link: here.

Channel 149- Mono

“Wait, so you’re telling me that for the past three weeks, all of you have just been sitting around doing nothing?” Atobe said as he raised his eyebrow. The two gangs, Atsushi’s gang and Ryou’s gang, were all doing just what Atobe had said. Sitting around. Well, at least they weren’t fighting and murdering each other.

“We all had mono!” said Atsushi.

“You all contracted mono at the exact same time?” said Kaidou skeptically.

“What do you expect from us?” Ryou said as he tried to play the sympathy card.

“It’s no excuse to sit around and not practice your singing and dancing and choreography,” said Eiji.

“There are very few things one can do with mono!” said Atsushi. “Why, I’ll be that if someone told me I should write a story and submit chapters on a regular basis, then I hardly think I would be able to keep any schedule whatsoever, since it is difficult to sit up, look at a computer screen and stay awake!”

“So how do you expect us to sing and dance if we’re all not well enough to do something as seemingly simple as that?” said Ryou.

There was a slight pause.

“Isn’t Mono the kissing disease?” Shiraishi said.

“Uh…” said both gangs as they all looked at each other awkwardly.

“Never mind about all this,” said Inui. “We should all focus on the strangeness of our mission. It is telling us to defeat Echizen Aroma.”

“My long lost twin sister who lives in America and is much better at tennis than everyone else so she has to join the boys’ tennis team?” Ryoma said.

“The very same,” said Inui.

“You don’t have one of those,” said Momo. “She’s a Mary-Sue.”

“How are we supposed to defeat her if she’s in a different Universe and we’ve already killed her?” said Saeki.

“Well, we’ve seen this sort of thing before,” said Oishi. “With the previous original character who resided in Ryoma’s Universe.”

“Yeah…” said Momo thoughtfully. “There was some kind of ancient ceremony that brought her back to life and she somehow became a ninja and acquired magic powers when we went to the Ninja Universe.”

“Apparently she had the power to transcend different Universes according to her will,” Oshitari added.

“Yo!” said Benvolio, one of the members of one of the gangs. He stood up and struck a gangster pose. “This is wak!”

“Yeah, what are you guys talking about anyway?” said A-Rab.

“Original characters,” Ryou and Atsushi replied in sync. It was like Twin Sense.

“Oh,” said all the gang members.

“Before we go any further, may I make an inquiration?” said Ryou, standing up.

“Of course you may,” said Inui. “But inquiration is not a word. I’m sure the word you were looking for was ‘inquiry.’”

Ryou only stared at Inui. Everyone else stared at him too.

“Anyway,” Inui led, feeling slightly awkward. He sort of wished Renji was there to share his love for being smarter than everyone else around him.

“WTF?” said Ryou as he pointed in the general direction of all the “new” people. And, as it would happen, Saeki happened to be standing in front of the group so he thought Ryou was pointing only at him, so he had a slight mental break down before Ryou assured him that he was inquiring about everyone and Saeki’s presence was just as curious as to the others’.

“I so do not feel like explaining this again,” said Inui.

“Can I try explaining it?” Choutarou asked.

“By all means,” Inui offered.

“Okay,” said Choutarou, looking at Ryou and Atsushi. “It’s just like last time, except there are more people this time.”

“Oh, okay,” said Ryou and Atsushi with knowing nods.

“That wasn’t so hard,” said Shishido to Inui.

“If you explain it like that then of course it’s not hard…” said Inui, looking offended.

“I’m kind of sad that we missed Zombie Universe,” said Atsushi, pointing at Yagyuu and Niou.

“You got a problem, foo?” said Niou, getting all in Atsushi’s face. But Atsushi quickly backed away because he didn’t want a zombie in his face, especially since Niou’s eye kept popping out.

“Let’s just get past all this and—” started Inui but then he found himself interrupted.

“THIS IS WAK,” interrupted all the gang members.

At this point, the random gang members were getting kind of annoying so the others made a telepathic decision to just walk away and ignore them.

“Okay, so our mission is to defeat a Mary Sue that may or may not have acquired ninja powers that would have led her to this Universe,” Oishi reasoned.

“That sounds about right,” said Kirihara thoughtfully. “But she has to be here because the mission is telling us to defeat her!”

“So where could she be?” said Taka, directing his question toward Ryou and Atsushi.

“How are we supposed to know?” said Ryou and Atsushi with another Twin Sense moment. See, with everyone else, it’s SYNCHRO!! But with them, it’s just Twin Sense. Poor them.

“Well, you know for sure she’s not in your territories,” said Inui. “Which covers the East and West portions of this place.”

“Which only leaves the South…” said Atsushi. “But we’re sure she isn’t there. Before we all got mono, we cleaned up that place so we could work on our choreography and express our artistic creativity through controlled graffiti.”

“So I don’t know where she could possibly be,” Ryou finished with an exasperated sigh.

“What about North?” asked Bane.

“North?” said Ryou.

“Yeah,” said Bane. “North.”

“There is no North,” said Ryou with a raised eyebrow.

“Are you sure?” Itsuki asked.

“Of course we’re sure!” snapped Atsushi.

“Well, if she’s not in the East, not in the West, and not in the South, then that only leaves the North for her to be in,” said Eiji in a very intelligent sort of way.

“But we’ve already told you,” said Ryou. “There is no North.”

“How can there be no North?” demanded Kaidou, sounding somewhat irritated.

“I know what to do!” said Momo, pointing his finger in the air as a light bulb illuminated above his head. Then he whipped a compass out of his pocket and oriented himself. “This way!” he said, pointing.

Everyone shrugged and decided to follow even though the twins were so very adamant about the fact that there was no North.

They finally reached a large wooden fence that stretched high to the sky and were unable to proceed any further.

“See?” said Atsushi. “There is no North.”

“Just because there’s a fence in the way doesn’t mean there’s nothing beyond it,” said Marui. Then he looked above his head to see that his special move bar was filled up to the top. “Hey guys, let me handle this!”

They all stepped back, and then Marui ran forward and performed his super ultra special move, upper cutting that bitch of a fence and then igniting it into smoldering blue flames. Everyone applauded as Marui landed and looked proud of himself.

They waited for the blue flames to disappear, so they could see beyond the remains.

“I told you there was no North,” said Ryou quietly.

They were faced with something right out of the Twilight Zone; it was like a big chunk of outer space hovering just on the other side of the fence that once stood. After standing in awe for a few moments, Fuji grabbed Kirihara by the shoulder and shoved him into the void.

Kirihara yelled out of fear of his imminent death, but he instead just stumbled into the void as if there was a solid ground under him.

“Well, would you look at that,” said Fuji.

“How dare you use me as a guinea pig!” said Kirihara.

“More like a sacrifice,” Fuji shrugged.

So now that they knew they wouldn’t plunge to their dooms, they all ventured out into the void, walking along the space as if there was a ground.

“This is weird,” said Ryou. “I don’t know if this is someplace we’re supposed to be.”

“If there was a supernatural Mary-Sue in this Universe, this is where she’s going to be,” Atobe pointed out.

“What’s that?” said Kamio, pointing at something in the far distance.

“I got it, guys,” said Momo as he took out his telescope.

“Let’s just walk towards it,” said Jackal.

“Don’t judge me,” said Momo.

They walked towards the mysterious object in the distance that turned out to be an egg. But it wasn’t like a chicken egg or anything, it was this massive egg that was waist height and had polka dots all over it.

“Weird,” Yagyuu remarked simply.

Then the egg started to shiver and twitch, so they backed off. After a few moments, it cracked and a hand shot out of the hole.

“It’s here!” Ryoma said.

“She’s for some reason hatching out of an egg in the void of the North section of the OMG Universe so let’s destroy it before she hatches and becomes impossible to defeat!” said David.

With that, everyone took out their weapons and death moves and proceeded to attack the egg. Let’s review: Inui has a gun, Momo has a sword, Taka has a sword, Eiji has a butter knife, Saeki and Itsuki could probably find something in their medical bags to hit it with, Oshitari and Atobe have their guns, Kirihara has his dynamite, Shishido has his endless arsenal, Choutarou has every super power ever, Bane and David probably have guns or something, Fuji and Oishi had tennis rackets to beat it with, Shiraishi might have mustered up some magic, Ryoma stumbled around lamely, Marui and Jackal used their special moves, Kaidou and Kamio could kick it around or something, Ryou and Atsushi have gang weapons while Niou and Yagyuu sort of just got in the way because they were lurching around and being zombies.

So basically everyone contributed to murdering Echizen Aroma with the exception of Niou and Yagyuu. And Ryoma.

“Whew,” said Shishido, once it was over with. “What a work out!”

“Well, I’m glad we got to her before she hatched,” said Ryou.

“Yeah, or else all hell would have broken loose,” Atsushi agreed.

“So how’s that mono of yours?” Kaidou questioned.

“It’s rough,” the twins replied.

“Here we go,” Inui said as he pressed a button that made them change Universes.

It was pretty abrupt so most everyone was surprised when they landed in a dark and scary forest. Then they remarked on how quickly they had vanquished the OMG Universe, and then they questioned the dark and scary forest.

“Is this the Ninja the Universe?” Momo asked.

“Why does everyone always assume we’re in the Ninja Universe?” said Inui. “We are either in a new Universe or we’re back in that Wizard or Harry Potter Universe that had Shinji from Fudomine and someone whom I forget.”

“Hiyoshi?” Oshitari suggested.

“Yes, sure,” said Inui.

“Well, let’s take a look around I guess,” said Shiraishi.
