The scene changes to Manabu waving to Kawaii as she leaves for her home. She walks back inside walks back to her room. As she walks inside her jaw drops as she sees Kekko still in her bathroom.

Kekko: Ah good I thought she'd never leave.

Manabu: What are you still doing here?!

Kekko: Um...isn't it obvious?!

Manabu: Sigh. Stupid me! I meant why are you still here?

Kekko: Well my grandmother's having some of her friends over and ug I can't stand to be there right now. Besides[stretches her legs] I was hoping someone would invite me to stay for dinner.

Manabu: All you had to do was ask.

Kekko:[winks to the reader] Works every time.

Manabu: I'll go tell mom you're staying for dinner.

Kekko: Thanks you're a peach!

Manabu: Yeah whatever.[closes and locks the door for Kekko as she leaves]

Kekko: I swear it get easier every time.[gets up off the toilet and stretches in front of the mirror. Then she looks at the reader] Actually I finished my business a while back and was just faking.. I had to or my scheme to stay wouldn't work. Sigh. I know what you're thinking, "Why in the world would that girl not want to go home to her grandma and her friends?! Well it's like this.[sits up in the sink] My grandmother thinks the world of me. I'm her little gem and well she has this image of me. I'm this perfect little angel to her.[in the background a pic of Kekko as an angel with long flowing hair dressed very decent with inner light and a halo]But we all know that's not the truth.[suddenly the pic burns and a pic of Kekko dressed in a tight miniskirt and high boots all red with horns.]Well I wouldn't go that far!![tears up the pic] I AM an angel...I just have a tarnished halo. Anyway,[brushes her hair with a brush from the sink] she tells everyone that I'm this goodie goodie girl who never has a single bad thought in her head and how I do SO well in school and ...well she lays it on VERY thick. Sigh.[puts the brush back]She makes it very hard on me since I have to do my best to keep up with this image and have to act very ... um what's the word I'm looking for.......oh very Manabuish around her. Heck I even have to blush around her, and for me that's VERY hard. I don't think I've ever blushed before. No wait there was that time during a Christmas play when I was an angel and my underpants feel down around my ankles. Ooo I think I even tripped too. Well geez I was like 4 at the time but other than that I don't think I've ever blushed. But sigh I love my grandma and she all I've got. My parents both died when I was like 6 and she took me in. I had to live with her old fashion ways and believe me I'm not one to be tied down by rules. Anyway I love her very much and I keep this act up around her. Heck the only reason I wore those torture contraptions called Pantyhose was because she asked me too. She caught me leaving the house in my uniform.[holds out her skirt on each side] It's shorter than most well all but it get by regulation.....just barely. Anyway I usually wear a longer one when I leave home then hit the first alley and tadaa Clark Kent becomes Superman!! In my case Superbabe!![winks] Yeah I'm a bit of a what's that word the gals call me.... a flirt. Yeah I am but only cause I like the attention,. Yes I do worry about getting the "wrong" type of attention but I can handle it. I may not look like it but I'm a black belt 3rd degree Shotokan. So you can look but touch and you'll be send home in a sandwich bag. Sigh. Anyway getting back to my problem.... she saw it, my skirt, and I thought well now she's going to send me up stairs to change but nope she said the weather was a bit warm so as long as I was careful I could go. Then I thought gee I should have done this long ago but then came...."however" and I froze in my tracks. She then asked me to wear hose underneath. Sigh. My reaction would have been NO WAY and them I would have laughed as I walked off to school but.... it's grandma. And you think Manabu's a wimp for not being able to say no, HA that's nothing!! My grandmother still thinks I like playing tea party. And yes I go along with it and I feel like a fool, but it's grandma...... I can never say no to her. I mean heck I would love to be this angel she thinks I am but ... I can't. I'm having to much fun driving guys wild. It's fun and gives you a sense of power. I mean I stick out my leg like so and pick my hem up just a millimeter and the fall over themselves, I wink and they fall over dead, I bush my hair to one side, and their jaws drop. And they can't help themselves. Now you see why I'm having so much fun. Sigh. maybe someday I'll tell my grandma the truth and maybe someday I'll quit having fun and settle down. Yeah right![rolls her eyes] ANYway it may seem that I pick on the gals a bit too much, but I'm not mean. I love them like they were my sisters. We've known each other since Kinder and their the only ones who put up with me. Hey I admit I can drive people crazy but so far they haven't tried to burn me at the stake. So either they really like me ..or they haven't found a big enough stake. Hey besides like I said I see them as my sisters and have you ever know sisters who don't pick on each other from time to time?! I think not. Besides I look out for them and they look out for me. Hey do you think that Manabu just went up and asked Ian to come to dinner on her own? Nope me and Kawaii set it up that if we saw Ian we would put on this act and I would act like I wanted him. Truth be told.....I do like Ian...he's a very sweet guy.. a bit strange but sweet. I mean if I were to settle down it would be with a guy like him. But finding a guy like him is VERY hard. I mean it's like he's not even from this world. Sigh. Well as long as Manabu has eyes for him...(and we all know she does...well except for Manabu she has no clue that she has eyes for him) I won't try anything. Well I do flirt with him but he hardly flirts back . His eyes are always on Manabu. I think the poor sap has it bad for her. Hmmm. So would a bad girl put her friends happiness in front of her's?! Hell no, but call me a good girl and you'll get it big time!!! Heh. [flushes the toilet then walks over and washes her hands] Yeah I already washed my hands when I finished but like I said I'm keeping up appearances.[Dries her hands. Well thanks for listening.[unlocks and opens the door] We can get back to the story now[winks and then leaves]

The scene opens with the girls practicing after school a few days later. Manabu is doing much better now.

Kawaii: Wow she seems to be doing much better!

Kekko: Gee I guess someone wasn't listening to the narrator.

Manabu: YAY!! [Leaps high in the air but then blushes and holds her skirt down on the way back down]

Kekko: However we need to work on that part.

Kawaii: Ok come on , she'll learn…..hey remember how I was when I first joined?!

Kekko: Yup the only girl in an ankle length cheerleader skirt. Sigh.

Kawaii: Hey years ago they were the standard!

Kekko: Yeah back when our grandmas were cheerleaders.

Manabu:[walks over to them] Hey Kawaii do you still have that skirt?

Kekko: I give up![walks off]

Manabu: What's up with her?

Kawaii: I haven't a clue.

Suddenly a whole army of Ninja Cheerleaders appears in huge puffs of smoke. Then they part and Asuka walks out from behind them.

Asuka: Okay so you guys haven't decided to drop out of the contest……too bad! Okay girls….break stuff and…..ah you know the drill. I'll join you after a quick trip to the nurse's office.[coughs] I think I inhaled too much of that smoke.[walks off]

The girls try to run but Kawaii falls and hits her head on a rock. Manabu sees her and runs back. She kneels down next to her. Kawaii is barely conscious.

Manabu: Kawaii are you okay?! Stay awake you have to run!

Kawaii:…………..I can't……………………I feel so……………….. dizzy.

Manabu: Come on![picks her up on her back and runs with her] Great now what do I do?! I was going to go change but now I can!! I can't leave Kawaii and I can't take her with me…..she'll find out and….

A ninja jumps in front of them and is about strike at them. Manabu closes her eyes and braces from the impact. Nothing happens. She opens her eyes and sees Kekko standing in front of her standing on top of the ninja.

Kekko: Geez, I go to the toilet and this happens. I can't leave you alone for a second can I?!

Manabu: Kekko!!

Kekko: What happened Kawaii?!

Manabu: She fell and hit her head!

Kawaii: I'll……..be okay……. really.

Manabu: Um…[thinks then gets an idea] Kekko I'll take her to the nurse…while you take care of these ninjas.

Kekko: Consider it done![runs off]

Manabu: Right! Come on Kawaii![dashes off to the school]

Kekko becomes a flash as she takes out the ninjas in blinding speed!! Manabu watches in awe as she enters the school. She enters the nurse's office and sees Kawaii has lost consciousness. She sets Kawaii down gently and puts a wet towel on her forehead that also covers her eyes. Suddenly she sees Asuka coming. She pulls the curtain to hide her and Kawaii.

Asuka: [Walks by stuffing a bottle in her pocket] Well you can't have enough Aspirin. Geez a self serve Nurse's office, must be off stuffing her face or something. Oh well I better get back to see how my girls are doing.[dashes off]

Then after she leaves the curtain gets pulled back and we see that Manabu has changed into Squirrelgirl.

Kawaii: Manabu………are you still here?!

Squirrelgirl:[takes her hand] Yeah I'm right here. Take it easy, just lay here until the nurse comes back okay? I have to see if I can find her okay.

Kawaii: Okay………I'll try not to get hurt while you……gone.[tries her best to giggle]

Squirrelgirl: I'll be back I promise.[runs off]

Squirrelgirl runs off to the field to try to stop Asuka. Meanwhile Asuka has arrived to the shock of her life.

Asuka: WHAT THE?! [jaw drops]How in the?!?!? [Sees Kekko dusting her hands off] YOU!!!!!

Kekko: Yup… I'm me and you're you!!

Asuka: That's it!!! I'm going to make into a set of pom poms!!

Kekko: Yeah I can see you need a new pair…….since you stuffed your bra with your last pair!!!

Asuka: WHAT?!?! ARGH!!! DIE!!

Asuka strikes at her many times but Kekko manages to avoid her attacks just barely. Asuka finally lands a hit across Kekko's head. Kekko nails her back in the stomach. Asuka falls to her knees.

Kekko: Gee big talk, soft tummy! It figures!

Asuka:[trying hard to get her threat out]I'll get you yet….you…..you….

Kekko: I doubt it! Oh by the way…..

Asuka:[eyes open wide]Oh…..no!!

Kekko:[kicks her into the air]THAT'S FOR MY FRIEND KAWAII!!!

Asuka: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Girls, catch me!!!!![The ninja chase after her as she sails out of the school]

Kekko: No one picks on the air head ……but me!

Squirrelgirl:[standing up in a tree]Gee good old Kekko. I should have known I could count on her. She's always taking care of us, even back when we were kids. Yikes Kawaii!!!

Squirrrelgirl leaps into the air and the flaps under her arms catch the wind and she sails toward the school. She opens a window and enters the nurses office. She pulls the curtain closed again and sees Kawaii still out as she takes her mask off. She slips out of her costume to reveal her uniform underneath sans the skirt and sneakers. She takes out her skirt and shoes from their hiding place under the bed Kawaii is laying under. She pulls her skirt back on and ties her shoes as Ian walks in.

Ian: What happened?!?!

Manabu: The ninja's attacked again!! Kawaii hit her head badly!! I barely had time to change so I just out my costume on over my uniform. She's still out!!

Ian: [Looks at her]It's not wise to let her doze off like this if the blow to her head is very bad she could easily slip into a coma.

Manabu: WHAT?! NO!! [Tries to wake Kawaii up but she won't budge or wake up] KAWAII PLEASE WAKE UP!!! NOO!! {lays her head on Kawaii and begins to cry}

Ian: It's not hopeless, I can heal her.[put s her hand on her shoulder]

Manabu:[picks her head up]WHAT?! Can you?![he nods] Oh please Ian!!! Make her better!!

Ian places his hand on Kawaii's forehead and picks her head up with the other. Her head glows slightly and Ian places her head back down on the pillow.

Ian: She'll be fine now but she'll need to rest for her to fully recover.

Manabu:[hugs him]Oh thank you Ian!!! I..I don't know what I'd do if….if…[Breaks down crying]

Ian:[Holds her]It's okay. Calm down okay, she's fine.

Kawaii:[slowly opens her eyes] Ian?

Both turn to her. Manabu realizes she being held by Ian and turns red as she pulls away from him. She then sits down next to Kawaii.

Kawaii: Why are you crying?

Manabu: Oh…you know me…[wipes her eyes] I'm just a big worrier.

Kawaii: I thought I heard your voice Ian.

Ian: Am I that noticeable?

Just then Kekko comes in and pulls the curtain and sees them standing there around her. She sits down next to them and her.

Kekko: Ah glad to see your not to badly hurt. I'd have to pick on Manabu twice as much to make up for you being out.

Kawaii: Yeah I thought so. I guess I can't ever die cause poor Manabu would be in big trouble then.

Ian: Well I don't think you have to worry about dying……… not while you have friends who care the world for you and watch and fuss over you like they do.

Kekko: Hey Ian…what ARE you doing here?!

Ian: Um……. Well I saw and heard all this commotion as I happened by…….. and…..um….

Manabu: He saw us and helped carry Kawaii over here. [looks up at him] I don't think I could have made it without him!

Ian: Well now that everything's fine again I.[Grabs Manabu's costume without anyone noticing] I best be off.

Manabu: Um Ian?

Ian: Yes?

Manabu: Can you wait for me….I'll just get the nurse so she can check Kawaii then I'll go change.

Kekko: Hey I'll stay here with her till she shows up okay? You go change.

Manabu: Thanks.

Ian: I'll wait by the main gate.

Manabu: You take it easy Kawaii, you hear?

Kawaii: For you I'll try.

Kekko: Hey don't make a man wait too long hon. [Manabu walks off]

Kawaii: Think she'll thank him for helping me?

Kekko: Geez, I hope so, I'd give anything to see her plant one on the big lug.

Kawaii: KEKKO!!

Later Manabu meets Ian at the front gate. They both walk and neither says a word.. Then slowly she reaches over and takes his hand. Ian looks back in shock but Manabu looks at him with a warm smile on her blushing face. His shocked face fades and is replaced with a smile. They both continue their walk back home.

The scene opens with the day contest, Kekko is waiting around pacing. Then Manabu arrives with Ian. Kekko looks at Manabu's uniform.

Kekko: {looks down] Nice leggings.

Manabu: Um yeah well I'm not going to be jumping around out there without them giving all those people the view of a lifetime!!! Besides I got them to match the uniform.

Ian: Yeah that's why we're late. We must have stopped at every store on the way here. Not that I mind…. They are kinda cute.

Manabu: [blushing] You promised!

Ian: Oops right, don't mention that. But I can't help it!

Kekko: You two make such a cute couple.

Ian and Manabu both blush, they slowly turn and look at each other and turn bright red and look away.

Kawaii: Hey, leave them alone.

Manabu turns and sees Kawaii standing next to her smiling. Manabu hugs her.

Manabu: Kawaii, glad to see you're alright, we missed you at school the past few days.

Kawaii: Yeah well it wasn't easy for me to stay home, there's no one to fuss over my dad like I do. I was okay but he made me stay home just incase. I practically had to cry to get him to let me come to the contest.

Ian: He's just looking out for his baby girl.[Kawaii blushes and hits him in the arm lightly] Hey you're his only child, besides he's just fussing over you like you do to him. You can't say in good conscience that you wouldn't do the same if the roles were reversed.

Kawaii: Sigh. You're right.

Manabu: Still are you sure you're up to it today?

Kawaii: Yes, the doctor said my injury recovered faster than anyone he's ever seen. Kinda frightened him.

Kekko: Well it was just a blow to the head, and last I checked air doesn't damage.

Manabu: Kekko!!!

Kawaii: Oh it's okay Manabu, I know she's just playing.

Ian: Yup and if it was more serious she'd be bawling like a baby over you in the hospital everyday.

Kekko: That it wise guy……[takes him by an arm and drags him away] just for that you can't see us perform!

Ian: Oh good, seeing a bunch of girls show off their undies to a crowd of strangers isn't my idea of entertainment any…[pushes him out into the crowd] waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!

Kekko:[dusting her hands off] There, besides I know he'll enjoy the view much better from there.

Manabu: Kekko!!

Kekko: Now Manabu stop fussing or people with think you care too much about that lug.

Kawaii: Sigh. [takes Manabu aside] Hey don't mind her…..he gets worse when she gets nervous. Not the case with you and me huh?

Manabu: No I guess not if it were……. You'd be running off to the bathroom every few minutes.

Kawaii: Yup. But I'm calm….. not worried at all…. Not worried that I may fall flat on my tushie and make a fool of my self…[tummy starts to gurgle] no…not…..worried that…… my skirt may fall down in the middle of our …..[holds her tummy] …cheer. Oh god I'm dying! [runs off]

Manabu: Sigh. It's so hard to keep myself calm when everyone's falling apart like this.

Manabu looks over at the rest of the girls who are calm and chatting with each other. Then she looks over to Kekko who is blowing kisses to the guys in the crowd and putting on a show for them and then to Kawaii who is coming out of the ladies room, grabs her tummy again then runs back in.

Manabu: Sigh. I guess I have to fight my fears and keep a level head for them both.

Ian:[now in tanuki form] Penny for your thoughts?

Manabu: Oh hey, I thought maybe you'd be afraid to show up since Kekko gave you the razz.

Ian: Well I think she could have given me worse.[looks over a Kekko]

Manabu does to and her face looses color as she sees Kekko giving the boys in the crowd quite a show as she turns around and picks up the back of her cheerleader skirt and shows them her bloomers.

Manabu: I swear the more nervous she is the bigger a flirt she becomes!

Ian: Well I guess, at least Kawaii is doing better right?

Kawaii: [from the bathroom] Oh please make it stop!!!!

Ian:[sweating] This whole thing is falling apart isn't it?

Manabu:[lowers her head] Yeah. I'm so nervous I'm about ready to join Kawaii in there.

Ian:[now in his human form picks her chin up] Hey I'll hear none of that. Those two did well last year they just need to hear the roar of the crowd and start their cheer and they'll snap out of it and become the well oiled machine a champion team of cheerleaders should be.

Manabu: Yeah and I'll be the wrench in the works. I'm so nervous and feel like a complete klutz! I can't keep my feet still and my hands fell clammy.

Ian;[looks over at Kekko who is shaking her bottom and blowing kiss to the crowd] Somehow I think you're not as bad as most. Anyway you better go check on Kawaii. It's almost time for you girls to go on.

Manabu: What about Kekko?

Ian: I'm not going near her right now, if you want I can go check on Kawaii?

Manabu: Ahem! No I'll do it.

Ian: Knew you'd see things my way.[he sees Manabu enter the bathroom when suddenly he senses something] WHAT?! Juda is here! [looks out into the crowd and eyes everyone in the crowd] Where can she be?

Kekko: So couldn't get enough of my show down there?

Ian:[still looking at the crowd ] No I've seen more than enough of you, if I see anymore I'll have to marry you.

Kekko:[Blushes] Um.[notices she's blushing then turns even redder] Gah! [runs off]

Ian:[looks at Kekko run into the bathroom] What's up with her?

Kekko dashes in and nearly knocks over Manabu as she takes a stall and slams the door behind her.

Manabu: Oh now what?! I barely got Kawaii out now I have to get you too?

Kekko: Just making a quick pit stop before we go on! I CAN do that right!?!?

Manabu: Yeah okay. Good cause we go on in 3 minutes.

Kawaii:[tummy rumbles] Oh great!![runs into a stall]

Manabu: Sigh. Sorry Kawaii.

Kekko:[ in the stall rests her head on her hands and thinking to herself] What's wrong with me? I've never blushed in so long!! All of sudden Ian says something and I turn into a beet. Geez, I'm so glad he didn't see me. I would have died! Man why?! Why is it I feel so strange around him?

Kekko remembers something that happened years back. She was a in grade school at the time. Kekko has been beaten up a group a boys and, surprisingly, girls too.

Boy 1: Such a stupid girl she is, thinks she better than us!

Girl1:[kicks her] You better not even try to get up!

The kids walk off and leave her lying on the floor by a ditch. She tries to get up but rolls over and falls in. Last thing she sees is a strange creature picking her up and carrying her out. She comes to and sees a boy cleaning her wounds with a wet cloth.

Kekko:[knock him away] What are you doing?!

Ian: I'm trying to help you.

Kekko: I don't need your help. [ tries to walk off but can't because of her hurt leg. She falls down]

Ian: Hey you hurt your ankle. Lay still. [he takes her leg and begins wrapping it up.]

Kekko: [has a very angry look on her face] Why are you doing this?

Ian: Cause. I want to. Besides what sort of person would I be if I just left you lying here hurt?

Kekko: So you just go around helping people?

Ian: You could say that. So why did the girls beat you up?

Kekko: You saw that?!

Ian: I saw them leave you beaten so I thought they were responsible.

Kekko: They got mad cause I was showing my underpants to the boys for a buck.

Ian: [raises an eyebrow] I see, then why were the boys beating you up?

Kekko: Cause I wouldn't show them my underpants no matter how much they paid me.

Ian: Well it's your right to turn down any client you see fit. All companies and stores do so, so why shouldn't you? Did they take your money?

Kekko: [reaches under her skirt and takes her money from her waistband] Nope still here.

Ian: [Looks at her rather lager wad of money] Boy, the boys must be crazy over your undies!

Kekko: Yup the trick is to wear cute ones.

Ian: [finishes wrapping her leg] Always give the customer what they want.[she nods]

Ian carries her back to the school and leaves her on the step. He gives her her back pack.

Kekko: Thanks.

Ian: Hey it's nothing.

Kekko; Sorry I yelled and hit you.

Ian: It's okay. You take care.[starts to walk off]

Kekko: Hey let me pay you back. Wanna see my underpants?

Ian: Um…[sweating] Sorry I don't have any money on me right now.

Kekko: Nah…it's a freebie! [About to pick up her skirt]

Ian: [stops her] No….best not. Just seeing your smiling face is reward enough.{Kekko's face turns red]] Bye.[walks off]

Manabu: [comes out of the school] Hey Kekko what happened to you?!

Kekko: I got beat up……but that boy helped me.

Manabu: Oh him… he's my friend Ian. He's a very sweet guy.

Kekko: [face still a little blushed] Yeah he is.

The scene goes back to Kekko in the present. She sigh as the red finally leaves her face, Suddenly there's a knocking on the stall door..

Kekko: GEEZ CAN'T I HAVE JUST ONE MINUTE OF PEACE?!? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR!!!
