Author’s notes:

This is the second novel I have done and I know it’s very long but hey I did my best. To me I thought this time I should use more characters that I didn’t use in my previous novel one problem I hate using Precis!!! But hey those are the breaks. (Besides I use her all the time. ~_~’) So enjoy, and this time there is one special guest appearance and a guy I thought of last week.)

(It’s a nice day in the city of Lacour as Ashton is walking through the marketplace)

Ashton: …Man! I haven’t seen any barrels since we last visited Hilton.

Ashton: I’ll faint soon! If I don’t see one.! (Sees the new shop)

Ashton: Eh! What’s this…perhaps I’ll go check it out.

(So Ashton goes inside and is very interested to see people bowling. He walks up to front counter as something has caught his eye)

Ashton: Bowling? Eh. (Reads the sign near the desk) sign up a party of 4 and bowl your way to the championships…win great prizes.

Ashton: Hey miss what are the prizes.?

Women: 10,000 FOL and a big trophy.

Ashton: Wow! (Money…maybe the trophy is shaped like a golden barrel)

Ashton: …^_^ (starts drooling) oh yeahhh!

Women: …0_0’ anyway! You need at least 3 more people to enter…

Ashton: …oh ok I’ll be right back. (Leaves)

Women: (…what a weirdo)

(So Ashton thinks that Claude would be perfect would his bowling team so he heads to the town square to find him)

Ashton: (sees Claude with Rena) Hey there’s Claude.! (Starts walking towards him)

Rena: (See’s Claude reading) Claude what are you reading.?

Claude: A book about herbal medicine.

Rena: Why are you reading that.?

Claude: Well every time we fight a monster we always get hurt and you would have to heal us. But I would like to learn to heal myself to save you the trouble of doing it yourself.

Rena: But Claude I want to heal you I find it very rewarding for me.

Claude: Rena sometimes your too slow.

Rena: Claude you…(gets interrupted by Ashton)

Ashton: Hey Claude! Would you like you to join my bowling team.?

Claude: Huh.?

Rena: Bowling team.?

Ashton: First price 10,000 FOL and a trophy.

Rena: Can I join too.?

Ashton: Sorry…this is sort of an all man’s team.

Claude: I think what Ashton is trying to say is he wants me not you.

Rena: (Gets off her seat and gets angry)

Rena: Claude I can’t believe you.!

Claude: Sorry…um (gets cut off by Rena)

Rena: I go hang around Dias. You seem to want me to just go.

Rena: So I’ll just do that. (Leaves and walks away)

Claude: …Oh man! Rena is going to hate me for a month.

Ashton: Why don’t you make it up to her.

Claude: Hey you’re right! I’ll buy her a present.!

Ashton: That’s the sprit…never give up. (Simpson quote hehehe)

Claude: But I don’t any money right now.

Ashton: ~_~’ Well if you join my bowling team and we win I’ll spilt the money with you.

Claude: …Ashton what a great idea.

Ashton: So you’ll.

Claude: Of course I’ll join. It’s sounds like fun and besides I need something to take my mind of Rena for awhile and if we win I’ll buy her the best present.! (looks curious)

Claude: Wait a sec how good are you.?

Ashton: Reasonable. You.

Claude: Alright.

Ashton: Good enough…next I need two more people.

Claude: (Light bulb pops up) Hey what about Bowman. He’s In Linga right now and he’s got to be good.

Ashton: Yeah! Let’s go he’s at least better than nothing.

(So Claude and Ashton leave Lacour city and head to Linga’s pharmacy they got there pretty quickly because of Claude herbal medicine skills. At Bowman’s house.

Bowman: (sitting at the counter) Sigh…Business just sucks.

Bowman: I’d wish at this very moment I would get some real customers.!

(Claude and Ashton walk in)

Ashton: Hey Bowman.!

Bowman: (Great those two knuckleheads…) Oh Tria how comes I get all the weirdo’s at my shop.!

Ashton: …

Claude: …come aging.

Bowman: Er…welcome boys need some medicine.?

Claude: No. Actually we want you to join our bowling team.

Ashton: First price is 10,000 FOL and a trophy.

Bowman: ~_^’ Hold it a second boys your just in luck. (Goes underneath his desk) It’s got to be here somewhere. Ah here it is. (Pulls out several trophies and places them on the table.)

Claude: (Picks one up and starts reading the back) Jean Bowman…most valuable bowler.

Ashton: (Picks up one and reads the back) six time champion my ass.!!!

Bowman: So gentleman as you can see I would be the best choice for your team and I would be honored to join.

Ashton: How come your so good.?

Bowman: Well about eight years ago me and Keith started a bowling team in Linga. And every championship we beat players from Cross, Salva, Lacour, and even Arila.

Claude: …I didn’t know Arila had a bowling team.?

Bowman: Of course didn’t Rena tell you.?

Claude: …not really.

Bowman: Why are you so down.?

Ashton: Rena got mad at him.

Bowman: Ah! I get it!…If you win the money your going to buy her a present.

Claude: Yeah…excalty.!

Bowman: Claude I’ll join for free whatever I win can be your share.

Claude: Bowman.? You sure are very nice.

Bowman: …well I got my reasons of joining.

Ashton: Alright we need one more person.

Bowman: How about Ernest.? I saw him outside awhile ago.

Claude: Are you sure it’s ok to leave your shop.?

Bowman: Don’t worry Nineh will take care of it.

(So the three leave the pharmacy and find Ernest sitting on a bench looking board.)

Ashton: Hey there Ernest! Want to join our bowling team.?

Ernest: What’s the catch.?

Bowman: Nothing.

Ernest: All right…but what do I get out of this.?

Claude: 2,000 FOL.

Ernest: (scratching his head)…this I like.

Bowman: How come your by yourself.?

Ernest: …I got dumped.

Claude: Ouch! I had that feeling before.

Ashton: ^_^ yeah! Many times.!

Claude: Shut up Ashton.! (hits him on the head)

Ashton: …Ouch! x_x.

Bowman: Well anyway let’s go back to Lacour and sign our names for the tourment.

( So the four of them left Linga to head off to Lacour…but behind a tree.)

Opera: …Those boys are up to something.?

Opera: Maybe Ernest is getting me a birthday present.! ^_^

Opera: (swooning) so he didn’t forget. Well it’s in two days… I better act like nothing has happen till then. ^_^

( Back in Lacour city. At the front counter of the bowling alley.)

Ashton: Excuse me miss. But my team is ready to bowl.

Women: ~_~…names please.?

Claude: Claude Kenni.

Bowman: Jean Bowman. Don’t ask me out because of my good looks I’m already married. ^_0.

Women: 0_0...(what a dork)

Bowman: …I’ll just stand there ok.

Ernest: Ernest Raviede.

Ashton: And I’m Ashton Anchors. ^_^

Women: …Alrighty the tourment starts tomorrow. I will need your 500 FOL entry fee.

Claude: 500 FOL.!!!

Bowman: This is an outrage.! Last year it was 300 FOL.

Women: …Sorry new rules.

Ashton: You guys got money.?

All: …

Women: Don’t worry get the money by tomorrow, you still have a chance to enter.

( So all four boys leave the alley disappointed. They tried to think of a way to pay the entrance fee…)

Bowman: ^_^ I got an idea.!

Claude: What is it.

Bowman: You guys ask your friends or girlfriends for the money…and I’ll ask my wife.! ^_^

Ernest: Forget it.! It won’t work.

Bowman: Trust me.

( At the night in the Lacour hotel)

Opera: Hi Ernest! Have a nice day. ^_^

Ernest: (playing game boy) Yeah…

Ernest: Um…Opera can you lend me 500 FOL for…(gets interrupted)

Opera: Sure here…( Hands Ernest the money)

Ernest: 0_0! Thank you Opera…you won’t regret this.

Opera: Nighty night. ^_^ (goes to sleep)

Ernest: (Bowman…it actually worked…I can’t belive it.)

(Meanwhile across the hall. Ashton walks inside Precis room.)

Ashton: Hey Precis! Remember the money I gave you so you could buy those Medical Kits.?

Precis: Yeah! ^_^

Ashton: Well…do you have the money now.?

Precis: Nope.! ^_^

Precis: Hey Ashy! Look what I made today.! (shows him a poke-dot alarm clock)

Precis: Sorry I don’t have the money today but I wanted to finish this SO BADLY.! ^_^

Precis: Isn’t it cute. ^_^

Ashton: ~_~ yeah…sure does. (walks away)

Ashton: (Bowman your plans sucks!)

(Back at Bowman’s house)

Bowman: Hi! honey.

Nineh: …no way.!

Bowman: What.?

Nineh: I know what your up to…you can’t have money we need it to pay off the heating bill.

Bowman: How did you know I wanted money.?

Nineh: It’s rather that or…(gets interrupted)

Bowman: NOT OUT LOUD IN FRONT OF THE NEIBOURS.!

(window opens)

Keith: Hey Bowman…what’s going on.?

Bowman: Everything cool…go back to sleep.

(window closes)

Bowman: (walks off) it’s up to you guys…

Claude: (turns on bedroom light) Come on Rena! I said I was sorry. Plus I need the money for…(gets interrupted)

Rena: For your bowling team…(toss over covers)

Claude: Yeah. ^_0

Rena: Forget it Claude.! (goes to sleep)

Claude: (nuts aging…don’t worry man I’ll get her that present I’m pretty sure someone got the money. Anyway tomorrow morning is the big day.)

(Next day at the Lacour bowling alley. Ashton, Bowman and Ernest are sitting at a bench waiting for Claude and is ready to bowl.)

Claude: (Walks inside) …Hey guys…did you get the money.

Ashton: Yeah…Ernest was luckly able to get it.

Ashton: Alright! Let’s go.! (throws the ball into the gutter.)

Ashton: 0_0’

Ernest: Ashton you suck.!!!

Ashton: Ah man I knew I was going to choke.!!!

Gyoro: (That was hilarious.!)

Ururun: (still you can’t help feel sad for him…)

Both dragons: (Nah!!!)

Bowman: It’s ok Ashton.! Pick up the spare.!

Ashton: …Alright.! (picks up a ball.)

Ashton: This time I won’t be taken for a fool.!!!

Some guy: You can do it Ashton.!!! You can do it.!!!

Ashton: (Rolls ball down center for a spare.)

Ashton: Yes.!!! ^_^

Ernest: We won aging.!!! Two in a row.!!!

Claude: Alright.!!! ^_^

(So they won twice and advanced to the semi-finals. In the last frame of the third game it was Bowman then Claude and they are down. One strike is needed to win.)

Bowman: (Rolls ball and only hits six pins.)

Bowman: Ah…crap.! (sits down)

Ashton: According to the score we need one more strike.

Ernest: And Claude is the only bowler left…

Ernest: We have come this far…I refuse to give up…

Bowman: Alright Claude.! I want to give you the advice my father gave me when I was your age.

Claude: What was it.?

Bowman: Never ever use Mandrake plants in herbal medicine.

Claude: ~_~ gee…that’s help’s Bowman…sort of.?

Bowman: …Never mind go out there and visualize…!!!

Claude: …(picks up a ball closes his eyes, but he felt he had to say something…)

Claude: I’m doing this for you Rena.!!!

Guy: Shut and just bowl already.!!!

Guy: Stupid kid.!!!

Claude: Here goes nothing. (rolls the ball hits all the pins and the last one is wobbling very slowly.)

Claude: …Come on…!

Bowman: I…I can’t watch.!!! (covers his eyes)

(The last pin slowly fall down…and the crowd cheers.!!!)
Ashton/Bowman: YES.!!!

Ernest: We made into the finals.!!! ^_^

Claude: …YES.!!!

(They all start hugging each other…then the manager of the lanes comes over…)

Manager: Congregations gentleman you made it to finals…Er…I hate to break up this touching scene but who might be the captain of your team.?

Bowman: Right here…Dr. Jean Bowman. ^_0’

Manager: Ahhh..six time champion…I’m very pleased at you teaching these new people…??? (looks at Ashton and Ernest.)

Ernest: Something stuck my face…?
Manager: No…sorry…WHOA MAN WHAT DEPTHS OF HELL CREATED YOU.!!!

Ashton: I’m Ashton. ^_^

Bowman: …Anyway who are we facing in the finals.?

Manager: The Holy Riders…

Claude: Are they any good.?

Manager: Let’s just say that Bowman and Keith’s team for years have beat them easily.

Ashton: So were…going to win.?

Manager: …I guarantee it.

Manager (coughs) Anyway way the finals are tomorrow gentleman. Be here by 10 a.m. don’t be late. (Leaves)

Claude: Let’s go the bar and celebrate.!!! ^_^

Ernest: …Drinks on me friends. ^_^

( So the four happily leave the alley with the promise from the manager of win on Thursday. When they returned to the hotel the others would ask on where they went today…but answered the same “just doing some things.” However the next day the boys would be in for unpleasant surprise…”

(Next day at a café in Lacour city)

Rena: …sigh.!

Precis: Something wrong.?

Rena: Claude and I haven’t spoken lately.

Precis ^_^ Don’t worry I haven’t spoken to Ashton lately either.

Rena: …Something is going on here with those guys. And I want to find out what there scheming.!

Precis: Why do you say that.?

Rena: I think Claude and Ashton have been bowling…

Rena: So they have been ignoring us all day yesterday.!

Precis: THOSE LITTLE…!!!

????: I’m afraid your quite right…

Rena: Ms. Bowman.?

Nineh: I was afraid of this…Bowman has been bowling for years…

Precis: There must be a logical answer why they are doing this.?

Rena: Yeah I think your right…Claude would never leave his friends alone and go scuttle off playing bowling…

Nineh: You got to understand…they want the money to buy themselves something. I heard from someone that Bowman’s team made the finals, and have a shot of winning…

Opera: Hey guys.! ^_^

Precis: Hi Opera ! What’s up.! ^_^

Opera: Hey did you know today’s my birthday.?

Rena: Yeah…happy birthday.!

Opera: Ernest and the boys are getting me something…(looks at everyone and starts getting disappointed)

Nineh: …Dear you have been fooled.

Opera: 0_0’ (starts crying) Ernest…how could do a thing like a this…

Rena: Unforgivable.! Where are those guys.?

(They hear laughter in the distance)

Rena: It’s coming from up over there.!

(They start walking near the table where Claude, Ashton, Bowman, and Ernest are and they quickly hide behind a wall to avoid being seen.)

Precis: LET ME AT EM.!!! (gets slapped by Opera)

Opera: No…quiet! They will here us.

Claude: Well guys.! Today’s the big game.!!!

Ernest: How do you know for sure we will win.?

Claude: The manager said so. ^_^

Bowman: Well we got another half an hour before the match.

Ernest: You know I can’t stop thinking about something…

Claude: What.?

Ernest: Something I was suppose to remember…

Opera: (My birthday you yut’s)

Ernest: I got it.!

Ernest: It’s national drinking day.!!!

Opera: …(stupid idiot.)

Ashton: …I’ll drink to that.!!! ^_^

( Laughter continues as the girls started whispering among each other.)

Rena: We need to get back at them.!

Opera: How.?

Nineh: (idea pops in her head) I got a plan…follow me.

(So they follow Nineh right to the bowling alley. Inside the bowling alley at the front counter)

Rena: Nineh.? What are we doing here.?

Opera: Right now this would be the last place I would be…

Precis: (Looks around) WOW.! Lookie at all the people here to see the guys bowl.!!! ^_^

Manager: (See the girls glancing around. Walks up to them.)

Manager: Can I help you ladies.? ^_0’

Rena: Um…

Nineh: We have a special proposition for you.

Manager: …Come to my office we’ll talk there.
(They follow the manager up to his office. He opens the door and they sit down)

Manager: Now I’m listening. ^_0’

Nineh: Me and my friends would like to challenge Mr.Jean Bowman’s team in the Finals.!

Opera/Rena/Precis: WHAT.!!!

Manager: …Well…I don’t think we could…0_0! Wait a second your Mr. Bowman wife.!

Opera: Nineh what are you doing.?

Nineh: Trust me. ^_0’

Nineh: You think about it…

Manager: …(thinking to himself. Hey wait a second this cornball stunt might work…)

Manager: Alright ladies forget the other team your in.!!!

Manager: This would be the greatest match of all time…girls v.s. boys, underdogs v.s. champions, wife’s team v.s. husband”s team. Lady let me just say I would be honored if you face (sincker) Mr. Bowman’s team.

Rena: …Are you sure…

Opera: But bowling…but we.

Manager: (Let’s out his hand out) My name is Mr. David Conover…

Rena: But what will the people say about this.?

Conover: They will be even more interested in this…even women would agree to see this event.!

Precis: But we haven’t practiced, and besides we aren’t very good.

Conover: Ms…(checks names list)…Nueman am I correct.? Are you just going to let your lousy excuse of a man walk all over you.?

Precis: But Ashton not my…WAIT a second Nineh you wrote my name down.!

Conover: Well yes I’m afraid she did.

Rena: Do you think we could win.?

Conover: …

Conover: In my life I have seen a lot of strange shit…and it’s possible in this sport. Don’t worry you girls can do it.! If you put your mind to it.!

Conover: I understand what you are going through…

Nineh: Well…you see my friend…it’s her birthday today.

Conover: Well happy birthday.

Oprea: As you can see my boyfreind forgot.

Conover: That…three eyed freak.!

Opera: …yeah that’s him.

Conover: I see…this for revenge.

Rena: I’m afraid so Mr. Conover.

Conover: Tell you what I like schemes. ^_^

Rena: As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Conover: …Oh this won’t hurt them…shock em…but not hurt them. ^_^

Conover: OK.! I will tell everyone and will not mentioned it to your boyfriends and I will interdouce you guys last. If you win we have to spilt the prize money.!

Nineh: We agree. ^_^ (shakes his hand)

Conover: Alright go to the change room located on your left…I will go tell everyone and the other team…anyway the match is in twenty mintues. Good luck Ms. Bowman.!

Conover: By the way what’s your team name.?

Rena: The pinette’s ^_^

Conover: …0_0’ alright…perfect see you later. (leaves room)

Opera: I can’t believe were doing this.

Nineh: Don’t worry girls…I’ll give you some pointers…hehehe.! ^_^

( So they leave and go to their dressing room. Awhile later Claude and the others arrive thinking that they will win…they have big smiles on their faces. But they have no idea what Rena and the girls have been planning. And finally the big moment arrived.

Bowman: …What.! How can you say that.!

Claude: …(gets up) Ernest is right…

Bowman: …?

Claude: I have been acting terrible…and ignoring my friends.

Claude: (Looks at Rena) whatever you do Rena…miss or hit…it doesn’t matter. Just do what your heart tells you. ^_^

Rena: Claude…

Ashton: Claude.? Your smiling…

Claude: …Yeah.! ^_^

Ernest: Do you think they will forgive us.?

Bowman: I don’t know…We should wait outside. I’m not staying here when Nineh brags about this.

(They all walk outside. A reporter comes up to Rena)

Reporter: Ms. Lanford.! How did it feel to beat your boyfreind.?
Rena: …HE’S NOT MY BOYFREIND…It felt great.! ^_^

Opera: We are the best.! ^_0’

(Mr. Conover comes down alley with a trophy and big cheque and has a mircophone in his hand.)

Conover: Congregations Pinette’s.! I belive this trophy and cheque is yours.!!! (Hands Rena the cheque)

Rena: Thank you.! ^_^

(Crowd cheers as the girls held up the trophy and cheque but in their hearts they felted like they acted silly. After a hour later they started walking out to the gates to meet with the boys.)

Ashton: It’s been about an hour.

Ernest: …

Ashton: Where’s Bowman.?

Claude: He said he had to leave and go back to Linga. He looked kind of disappointed that he lost…

Ashton: I don’t blame him…too bad I’m not married. ^_0’

Ernest: We lost to a bunch of girls…looks like it back to suicide for me…(Sees Precis, Rena and Opera) …shit here they come.

Precis: Well…

Claude: Well…

Opera: You guys owe us all an apology…for what you have been doing yesterday.

Ernest: I’m very Opera…happy birthday. (Hands her flowers) I’m very sorry I forgot…I just wanted to be with Claude and Ashton.

Opera: (Takes the flowers) Thank you. ^_^

Ernest: …ah well…

Ashton: I’m sorry Rena…Precis it was my fault after all.

Precis: …I forgive ya. ^_^

Rena: Claude what’s wrong.?

Claude: …The reason I joined Ashton’s bowling team was to buy you a present with the money I won…

Rena: Claude…Thank you.

Claude: But you have money so you can buy yourself a great present. ^_^

Claude: Anyway Rena can you let me borrow some the prize money…please.!

Rena: I don’t think so.

Claude: …Nuts.

Rena: Anyway…thank you for saying your sorry.

Rena: Um Ashton.?

Ashton: Yes.?

Rena: I know Claude and Ernest wanted to money…but what did you want.?

Ashton: I thought the trophy was shaped like a golden barrel…was it.?

Claude: Don’t tell me…

Ashton: About what.?

Claude: You thought the trophy was shaped like a barrel.! So you wanted us to join so you could get it.!

Ashton: Yeah…but.

Claude: I’M GOING TO KILL YOU ASHTON…YOU ALSO MADE RENA BREAK UP WITH ME.!!!

(Ashton and Claude start running)

Claude: Come back here.!!!

Rena: Well…at least were friends aging.

Precis: Shouldn’t we stop Claude.?

Ernest: Nah.!

Rena: Yeah…your right we can never change Ashton…even if he started this whole mess.

Opera: Say…I wonder what happened to Bowman.?

(Back at Linga. At Bowman’s house)

Nineh: After you finish fixing the roof you can scrub the toilet then you can clean the ease.

Bowman: …Yes honey. (sarcastic voice)

Bowman: (I can’t belive my own wife is treating me like a slave.! Hope no one sees me…)

(Window opens)

Keith: Hey Bowman whatcha doing.?

Bowman: Hey Keith.

Keith: Yeah.!

Bowman: Don’t get me mad…now it’s not the time.

END

(Yeah I’m aware that Ashton and Opera can’t be together…who cares anyway I thought it was funny to put them in a story together. Have any comments about my latest Star Ocean story sent me an E-mail at claude_sucks@hotmail.com.)
