With a Little Help From My Friends

    Shuichi, Ando, Shawn, and Brandi walked into the hall. Their little mission to get Emma some clothes had begun. The targets had to be seventeen year old girls. The small group came to their first vic-- er, volunteer. She was a young Japanese girl opening up her locker. Today, she had a nice knee-length black skirt and a lacy white blouse. The crew all smiled at her like hungry lions.

    "+Perfect!+" Brandi mumbled. She looked over at Shuichi.

    "+Shuichi,+" she said. "+The honors.+" The vocalist nodded. He walked forward to the girl with intent. The others watched on. Ando looked at Brandi.

    "5,821 yen says he won't get it!" he whispered. The lesbian hair stylist smirked at him.

    "+You're on!+" she said. Shuichi made it over to the girl as she looked up. Her face turned bright red as she became firecracker excited. One of her favorite idols was approaching her right now! She straightened herself up right away. The vocalist smiled at her warmly.

    "Hello there," he said to the girl. His little fan could barely speak at first. She tried her best to get the words out of her mouth.

    "H-H-H-Hello!!!" she all but shouted. Shuichi stood just inches away her.

    "Hey, could I have your blouse?" he asked her causally. "It's for my friend who really needs some clothes." The girl's face was really bright red now.

    "S-Sure!" she stammered. The fan quickly began unbuttoning her lacy white blouse. Shuichi turned to his team grinning with a V-sign. Ando, Shawn, and Brandi watched on amazed as the girl handed him her blouse. One article of clothing down, one more to go.

    "/Get her skirt too!/" Shawn whispered at him. Shuichi nodded quickly. He turned back to his fan.

    "Could I get your skirt too?" the vocalist asked. This time, the girl shook her head.

    "No, I need my skirt!" she said playfully. Shuichi bowed his head.

    "Understood," he said. The girl walked away to her classes. The vocalist returned back to his group with the blouse in his hands. Okay, they only managed to get one half of the items they needed. Oh well, can't give up now! The hunt continued on. Shawn's turn now. He found the next girl. She too was Japanese. This one had on a John Lennon t-shirt and nice designer jeans. The punk artist prepared to move out. Shawn felt confident about this one.

    "/I've got this!/" she whispered. The others nodded. The punk artist walked over to the girl. The others watched on. Ando leaned over to Brandi.

    "5,821 yen says he won't get it!" he whispered. Brandi nodded.

    "+You're on!+" she said. Shawn approached the tomboy. She looked up at the punk artist. Shawn paused in front of her.

    "/Hey!/" he said. "/Those jeans look hot on you. Can I have them for my friend?/" The Japanese girl snorted at him.

    "No way!" she said quickly. "I'm not walking around in my underwear all day!" The tomboy quickly walked away. Shawn turned back to group looking confused.

    "/I don't know where I went wrong!/" he said.

    "+Never mind!+" Brandi spoke up. "+Let's just find the next one!+"

    "/Right!/" Shawn said quickly. She hurried back to the team and they began their quest again. They still needed a skirt. Ando was up next. He spotted another Japanese girl. She had on some nice jeans and a pink t-shirt. Ando readied himself by stretching.

    "Here goes!" he said. The boy walked over to the target. The girl looked up at him slowly when she heard the footsteps. Ando stood in front of her smiling. Shuichi, Brandi, and Shawn watched as the boy flirted with the target for her jeans. She began to get really uncomfortable.

    "So, can I have your jeans?" he asked. The girl really panicked and ran away. Ando looked on at the group confused at his failure. Right there, Brandi noticed something. An idea came into her head. She raced after the girl. Shawn and Shuichi looked at her confused.

    "Brandi?!?" Shuichi asked confused. "Where are you going?"

    "+To check something out!+" she yelled. The other three of the team watched on confused. What the hell was that woman plotting now? They watched as Brandi caught up with the worried girl. The target looked on bewildered. The hippie hair stylist managed to calm her down long enough to talk. The girl listened to her. Then, she nodded. To the group's surprise, the target began taking off her jeans and handing them over to Brandi. The hair stylist walked back with the target with her arm around her shoulders. It was then the crew all figured out why Ando had failed.

    "No way!" Shuichi gasped.

    "/She's.../" Shawn trailed off. Brandi and her new "friend" made it over to the crew. The lesbian hair stylist grinned at her friends.

    "+That's right!+" she said. "+Kumiko is a lesbian!+" The two girls shared a kiss. Ando threw his head back and rolled his eyes.

    "Oh great!" he hissed. "The whole world's f*****g gay!" Brandi and Kumiko looked on smiling.

    In a few minutes, the crew all returned. Shuichi and Shawn had some fresh clothes in their hands. Brandi stepped forward.

    “+Here you are Emma!+” she said to her. “+We brought you some clothes!+” The Aussie looked at her overjoyed.

    “#Oh thanks guys!#” she called. “#I just hoped that nobody noticed!#”

    “Actually…” Shuichi said as he was looking out of the classroom window. “I think everyone already noticed…”

    “#Huh?#” Emma asked as she looked up. All of the students from the school were looking in the window at her. That just added insult to injury. It clearly wasn’t Emma’s day today!
