[The scene opens in Kenji's apartment. As Kenji keeps to himself reading his favorite book, Emi Yamamoto and Angel Lovejoy are sat on the floor staring at a chess board on the floor. From where all the chess pieces were, it's obvious that Angel is winning, and from the dazed look on Emi's face, it looks like she hasn't fully grasped the game yet. After a short while of concentration and consideration, Emi finally breaks the silence. With her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth she reluctantly makes her move.]
Okay, I'll move my queenie over here...
Good move Emi. Guess I'll just move my bishop over here then...
Ha ha! I'll kill your bishop with my horsie...
Nope you can't do that...
Oh...okay then, I guess I'll just move my castle thingy here...
Okay. Now my queen has killed your queen, and looks like it's checkmate again...
[Emi suddenly throws the chess board across the room in frustration.]
Hey! That's my dad's chess board!
[Emi hops onto her feet and looks upset.]
It's not fair! I wanna be brainy!
But you are Emi...
No I'm not! I don't know how to play chess, I can't do the alphabet backwards and I don't even know how to pronounce Einberg right!
[Kenji puts his book down after hearing this.]
Einstein?
Gesundheit...
[He rolls his eyes and goes back to reading.]
Come on Emi, you're overreacting. You're a lot smarter than you think. I mean you take psychology in college after all!
Don't remind me. I don't even know what the teacher's talking about most of the time! I might as well drop out...
Don't say that!
Why not? It's true! I don't have the smarts to be a psychologitimisty thing. I'm not smart enough to even play chess right! I might as well face it. I'm a big dummy.
But...
I'm going to bed. Just leave me alone.
[Emi storms into her bedroom and barricades the door behind her with her bed. Angel and Kenji are left worried. Emi lies on her bed and sulks, cuddled up and holding her favorite teddy bear.]
[glow=red,2,300]***[/glow]
[The following morning, Emi wakes up in her bed just where she fell asleep, in her underwear and with a teddy in her arms. However as she looks around she notices something on her desk. She gets up to look at it. It's a small bottle with a label that read "Eat Me". She stares at it for a moment before shrugging and opening the bottle. Inside the bottle is a bunch of orange pills that look similar to Tic Tacs. She takes one out and inspects it.]
PAUSE!! Whoa, I didn't know I could do that...
Okay look, I know that I shouldn't be eating anything just because of a label that says "Eat Me", but the thing is I was still tired at this point. Not to mention upset. Cut me some slack guys, okay? Besides, I love Tic Tacs! They make my breath minty fresh! No I don't think it's cool if you take pills if you don't know where they came from or if you don't know what the effects are, so please don't try this at home. He he I always wanted to say that!! ;D Okay back to the roleplay...[Without thinking, she takes the tablet and swallows. Upon swallowing, she feels groggy and faints. A few minutes later, there's a knock on her bedroom door.]
Come on Emi! If you've stopped sulking then get your butt out of bed. You need to clean up the mess you made last night...
[Kenji continues to knock on the door until it finally opens. Out comes Emi, dressed in a red cardigan, matching long skirt, slip-on shoes and a pair of glasses. Her hair is tied in a ponytail. This was the most mature Kenji has ever seen Emi look.]
Emi? Why are you...
Please Kenji, would you so kindly halt punishing the entrance to my personal quarters with your constant lack of impatience?
[Kenji is baffled.]
I have no immediate time to dawdle on the disorder of your habitation, especially in the presence of an incompetent lout such as yourself...
Excuse me? Who do you think you are? And where the hell do you think you're going?
I desire not to repeat myself. I have philosophical accusations to conjure. I bid thee adieu for now.
[After that last statement, Emi leaves the flat, leaving Kenji scratching his head in shock and confusion.]
[Emi is walking through the park, holding her chin deep in concentration. She has been acting strange ever since taking those pills, as if she had suddenly become a genius. Normally she'd lose concentration when she sees a butterfly fly past her or when she sees something shiny, but today she took no notice. She then accidentally bumps into someone.]
Please be more aware of your surroundings next time you ignorant oaf...
[It turns out that she had bumped into Gabe.]
Emi? I've never heard you use big words before...
Is that correct?
Well yeah! Quick, who invented the light bulb? Who wrote the Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex? What is the square root of 2916?
Thomas Edison. Charles Darwin. 54. I apologize, but is there a point to this questioning?
Ha ha!! Seems like my Varsity pills have worked!
Varsity pills? You mean that you were responsible for this?
Well, actually Angel helped me a little. I bought these pills from EBay. I asked her to give you those pills last night, she must have left them in your room after you went on a strop. Basically, I just thought that since you're a part of the Varsity now, maybe you could do with a little boost...
But surely that is illegal?
Well you didn't have to take them...
You have outwitted me there kind sir...
How do you feel anyway?
Well, to be terribly truthful, I find this sudden intelligence an absolute bore. It is thrilling to have such superior intellect over others for a change, however it is not as I initially anticipated...
Don't worry. The effects only last about 12 hours. Should wear off soon...do you have those pills with you now?
Indeed...
Keep them. You never know when they might come in handy again...
[Suddenly Gabe is knocked out after a brutal blow to the back of the head.]
What the deuce?
[The same suddenly happens to Emi. They both fall unconscious.]
[glow=red,2,300]***[/glow]
Owww...my head...what...what happened? Where...why am I tied up?
Oh look, he's awake!
It's about time!
What? Who said that?
[Gabe wakes up in a dark empty warehouse, tied to a chair. He looks into the dark, and out comes two familiar faces.]
Blondie and the Mexican! I should have known you're behind this...
That's right! And now you're awake, you can now...oh hang on... Blondie, put the bloody mirror down will ya!?
Sorry Mex. Thought one of my eyelashes fell out...
[The Mexican rolls his eyes.]
Haven't the Super Shiny Tiger Twins beaten you enough times already? Whatever it is you want you can forget it!
We are not after those pesky twins this time...we want those Varsity pills!
Well, I don't need them. It's just the boss told us to...
Tell your boss that he will never have them! I gave them to Emi, so I know they're safe...
Are they? Look behind you...
[Gabe struggles to look behind him, but when he does he sees that he is back to back with Emi, who is also tied to a chair and is still unconscious.]
Emi! Emi wake up!!
[She slowly wakes up, feeling a little drowsy. She looks around and is confused.]
What? Where am I? Wait, hang on...
[Without even trying she slips out of the ropes and out of the chair. Blondie and the Mexican look astonished.]
Much better!
How the hell did you get out of there!?
Oh, you mean those ropes? Meh, I'm a good knot-undoer...
[She appears to be back to her normal self, much to Gabe's surprise.]
Enough of this! We know you have the Varsity pills! Now hand them over!!
Okay.
[She passively reaches into her skirt pocket, pulls the bottle out and throws it into his hands.]
What? That's it? You didn't even put up a fight!
[Emi shrugs.]
Take them. I don't want them. Nor do I need them. You see, it's great being smart and all, but with all those thoughts in your head, it's hard to appreciate all the little things in life and you end up distancing yourself from everyone you love. Okay, maybe I'm not the brightest bulb in the shed. But that's okay. I'd rather be dumb and be happy than be a genius and have no friends. Besides, I think you two need them more than I do...
Yeah whatever...
[As Blondie and the Mexican inspect the pills, Emi unties Gabe, who looks very proud.]
You just sacrificed an opportunity at unlimited intelligence...
Please Gabe, no big words! I don't need those pills anyway. The Varsity will do just fine with regular little old me! ;D
[As she helps him out of the chair, the Mexican and Blondie have already swallowed the entire bottle of pills, but nothing is happening.]
Hey, what gives?
Nothing's happening!
[Emi giggles.]
Looks like it's gonna take a lot more than those pills to make you two dummies smarter!!
[They are both furious.]
Okay that's it...
[Emi suddenly removes her cardigan and skirt, revealing a red bikini. Gabe blushes.]
Ready when you are, losers!!
[The Mexican blindly charges but Emi ducks under his clothesline attempt, spins him around and nails him with a reverse roundhouse kick. He stumbles and crashes into the chairs. Blondie makes a move, almost catching Emi from behind but instead Gabe gets in the way and hits him with the Beat-U. As Emi and Gabe stand back to back ready for attack, the Mexican and Blondie huddle up and move towards the exit.]
This isn't over you freaks!
Any time, any place! And we're no freaks! We're the Varsity!
And we just educated your asses!
The Varsity won't last long. There's only two of you and you are nothing alike!
Wrong again boys! The Varsity is a team of individuals! We bring something to the table. Gabe has his power, I have my super incredible shiny powers! We're not a bunch of losers who can't even win anything in a group...
And we have more members on the way. You'll just have to wait and see...
[With that said, Blondie and the Mexican cower through the exit and into the unknown. Emi and Gabe turn to each other and give each other a high five.]
You think we've seen the last of them?
Hope not. I love kicking their asses!
[The scene fades out with Gabe and Emi leaving the warehouse.]
[glow=red,2,300]BONUS SCENE!!![/glow]
[Back in the flat, Kenji is drinking a cup of coffee while Emi guzzles down a glass of Sprite. She has just told the whole story of what happened to him.]
...and then later me and Gabe went and had some KFC, and we both lived happily ever after. The end!
Wow. Sounds like you two had some fun...
Yeah. Anyway like I said, I'm sorry for being mean to you...
It's okay. It's nice to have the old Emi back...
[Emi smiles.]
...but it was still very mean of you. You're grounded.
GROUNDED!!?
[Emi is appalled.]
You can't do that! I'm 20!!
Actually technically you're still young enough to be grounded. At least until you turn 21. Now march your butt back to bed!
But...but...
Don't make me call the police on you, now march!
NO FAIR!!
