A Self-Proclaimed Rival Appears!

Hi everyone! This is Chapter 4 now. Just a very important message to EVERYONE (even if it's in a few years time when you read this): The Conception of Time will no longer be in Moriko's P.O.V (point of view). If you're wondering why, then it's because since, for 3 chapters, you've been following Moriko's mind, it's time to change things. And also because I find it hard to bring out Moriko's inner... um, MORIKO!! So sorry if any of you enjoyed it being in Moriko's P.O.V. Oh well! 

Everyone in the room gasped. 

A kitchen knife?! Moriko, Mizuki, Usagi and Asami all thought, trembling with fear, well, everyone except Moriko who was trembling with excitement. Moriko's eyes gleamed in the sun rays that shone through the windows. Mizuki's eyes widended in alarm.

Uh oh! She thought, I can only imagine what will happen...! Moriko-chan will be all like- "STAB, STAB, STAB!!!"

Mizuki rushed over to Moriko and grabbed the knife out of her hands.

"Hey!" Moriko exclaimed angrily, "You caught me off guard!"

Usagi and Asami, in the meantime, were quietly bonding with each other.

"So, what's your favourite animal?" Usagi asked, smiling brightly.

"Um..." Asami started, "A cat!"

Usagi giggled, "Really? Well, I love bunny-rabbits!"

Meanwhile, still in the club room...

"Let go of me!" Moriko shrieked wildly, "Let go!!"

"No. And stop struggling! Are you trying to kill us with that knife?!" Mizuki exclaimed, fire in her eyes.

"Don't be silly! I just wanna test it," Moriko replied. She stopped struggling and looked up and Mizuki, her eyes sparkling brightly.

"You're lying," Mizuki replied, angrily. "Every single time you get in contact with something dangerous, you go crazy!"

Suddenly, there was a 'slam' sound. Then a loud 'thud' came from the door.

Everyone froze, and silently turned their attention to the door.

"Here's my chance!" Moriko said to herself, excitedly, "Time to get that knife!"

Moriko dived at Mizuki, who held the knife in her hand. Mizuki, who was too distracted on the door to pay attention to anything else, dodged Moriko's dive, oblivious of what Moriko had tried to do.

Moriko fumed to herself quietly, until...

*SMASH, BANG, CRASH!!!*

There was dust everywhere.

Everyone in the room shut their eyes tight, and coughed.

Once the dust cleared, everyone was facing the now destroyed door. 

"No one?" Moriko spoke up.

Suddenly, there was a muffled coughing sound from one corner of the room.

"Moriko," the voice coughed, "You idiot!"

Moriko turned her head to the voice, "Oh!" She exclaimed, happily.

Usagi and Asami looked at Moriko, confused. "Moriko knows this girl?" They asked each other.

Then another girl stepped up behind the girl that had just appeared before their eyes.

"Sorry for all this..." The girl apologised, "She's really annoyed with Moriko right now!"

Mizuki weakily smiled, "Uh... thanks... ... ... Sakura."

It was then that the knew who the seriously annoyed girl was.

The girl with long, magneta hair was none other than the leader of the Animal Lovers' Club.

"You kicked out that girl who was waiting for us!" She wailed angrily, brushing away her tears, "Once I arrived, I had to beg the Student Council for another room!"

Usagi decided to turn her head the other way. She didn't want the girl to recognise her as a Student Council member.

Clueless, Asami did the same.

Moriko started to mutter something to herself. Mizuki listened intently, and then spoke up, "Total gibberish, I tell you, total gibberish..." Mizuki sighed, shaking her head.

"You!" Moriko burst out, pointing at the girl with magneta hair. "You...! Um, I can't remember your name!"

"Urgh!" The girl raged, "That's it! From now on, we're rivals! My club and your club!"

Sakura yawned, giggling. "Oh, this..." She laughed.

"C'mon, Sakura! We're outta here!" The girl said, storming out while screaming some very mucked-up words.

Moriko crossed her arms and then called out, waving her hand, "Hey! Who's gonna pay for this?!" She called.

~~~~~

A week later, the door of the club was fixed, but with a price...

*FLASHBACK*

"Mizuki, get me some icecream!" A screechy voice ordered, "And make it snappy!"

"Asami, a massage, please!" Another voice ordered.

"Usagi, get me a drink, if you will!" A hoarse voice called.

"Moriko...! Have you fixed the roof of my house yet?" A voice asked.

Moriko yawned before answering. A yellow, scratched hard-hat was placed on her head. Moriko's long, blonde hair was in knots. It was a wonder how no-one had actually noticed this. Moriko's face was pale, but still Moriko still had a cheeky expression on her face.

"I just need to put in another... tile!" Moriko answered weakily.

*END OF PLASHBACK*

The sun was shining brightly, swamping into Moriko's room. Moriko wasn't ready to get out of bed just yet. Although she knew that she had to go to school, she just wasn't bothered. 

Moriko tossed and turned in her bed. Oh yeah! She thought, FOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--OOD....!!!

 After a few minutes, the thought of food still lingered strongly in Moriko's mind. Checking the clock, Moriko sleepily shrugged to herself, focusing all her energy of getting out of bed. 6:21am... 

Finally, Moriko hopped out of bed, licking her lips excitedly.

"Food!" She said to herself, smiling.

Dreamily, Moriko walked into the kitchen, slightly dazed.

Her mum wasn't up yet, and so was her dad.

Then Moriko froze. She was certain that she could hear something. It was music playing!

... And that could only mean one thing~ Moriko's older sister was awake!

Moriko grimly stared at the fridge. She knew that her sister would be into her room, on her iphone and listening to all her favourite tunes. Or maybe, maybe... was she ringing one of her friends?

Either way, maybe she'd find Moriko snacking on junk food- which wasn't a pleasant thing to see in your daily life.

Opening the fridge (obviously WITHOUT caution), Moriko found the fridge empty.

Slowly trying to comprehend something, Moriko came up with an intelligent response, and due to serious legal reasons, I can't show you the whole thing. Instead, I'll just show you half. Seriously. Moriko wil make your eyes spin!

Trembling, Moriko opened her mouth and...

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Now, if you didn't catch that, please look at the sentence again, please!

...screamed. (Continued from sentence above Moriko's scream).

Suddenly, everything went black.

Moriko opened her eyes abruptedly.

"Just a dream!" She said. Moriko glanced at the clock and frowned. 6:21am.

I need to check the fridge! Just in case-- who knows, all of our food could've been raided by me when I was sleepwalking!

Moriko thought. (By the way... Moriko DOESN'T sleepwalk!)

Moriko got out of bed and scampered down the hallway and into the kitchen. If you listened carefully, you could hear music.

"It's probably coming from my sister!" Moriko muttered to herself.

Moriko walked up to the fridge, and grasped its handle. Slowly opening the fridge door, Moriko gasped at what she saw.

Instantly, Moriko's long, messy blonde hair stuck up. There really was nothing. Nothing at all. 

Moriko opened her mouth, and this time screamed,

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then everything went black...

Moriko opened her eyes. "Wow, that was scary!" She said to herself. Moriko then glanced at the clock. 6:21. AGAIN!!!

"Oh seriously!" Moriko sighed. "What's a dream and what's not, nowadays?!"

TO BE CONTINUED (IN MORIKO'S DREAM?! OF COURSE NOT... HEH HEH... NO, I'M BEING SERIOUS! THAT WOULD BE AN ENDLESS NIGHTMARE, SO I'M JUST GONNA CONTINUE THE STORY NORMALLY!!)
