The Inexplicable Exploits of the Dork Corps

Part XII - Damn... Its Like Lion King Here

(This is a pun I swear...)

"I'm bored!"

"Shut up Kat!"

"I'm bored!"

"Shut up Carter!"

"I'm bored!"

"Shut up Fire!"

"Okay Nemesis... Even I'm bored."

"Please Shat not you too!"

"Sorry... but its really boring today! And tomorrow! And the whole rest of the week, we have nothing to do and, since we're upgrading the portal guns, nowhere to go!" Fire yelled exasperated and ready to die before she passed out from boredom.

"You know what? Google what's happening downtown, find something for us to do Friday! Okay, just leave me alone for a while okay? I need to finish this chapter, but then I'm up for anything."

The other four members of the corps sagged a bit in their respective seats, and reluctantly pulled out phones and laptops to do some research. Several minutes passed, the only sound the sighs of disappointment and the ticking of the wall clock before Fire's face lit up with excitement and she sprang to life like a robot with fresh batteries.

"Guys guys guys guys guys!! I've found the best thing ever!" She said tapping her phone and pulling up the image of a flyer, "Its a pride parade!! We have to go!"

"Oh I am soooooo there!" Kat replied clapping her hands together. She asked, "Shat? Carter?" Carter pumped his fist and blared,

"Totally down!"

"It s-sound fun!"

"We should probably tell Nemesis." Fire mused, shrugging a bit and phrasing it more like a question then a statement,

"Why?" Carter asked, "I'm pretty sure she's the token straight friend anyway."

"We m-might as w-well guys."

"Yeah... okay Shat."

I am the line break I am majazing!

Needless to say, no elements of one's costume had been reveled till Friday. They had promised not to reveal costumes for the event until the morning, so others could make some changes if they wanted to. Fire, of course was the first one up after her 90 minutes of sleep, and Carter had never gone to bed instead opting for coffee to keep him awake, so they got dressed together. And anyway, they had the same color scheme so they could share some items.

Shat got ready by themself, making sure not to let anyone know anything until the moment they came down, just after Fire and Carter finished up.

Kat, normally a late sleeper, got up last, and finished her costume the quickest, as it was objectively the simplest.

No one had yet to see Nemesis.

I really want to describe these in detail, but I refuse to pull a "My Immortal"

"Where's Nemesis?" Fire asked, her ribbon tied pigtails bobbing as she shrugged, she tapped her blue converses on the floor. She had just finished her eye black styled sliver glitter. She started to fidget with her loose, tom boy style pink shirt that went along with her blue leggings and lavender tutu which mirrored the ribbons tying up her pigtails.

"How the hell should I know Fy?" Carter sighed exasperatedly. "Are you, for once, not bringing anything dangerous?"

Fire turned to Carter with mischief dancing in her eyes,"You should know me better than that, Carteroy(remember the corduroy bear books? Those were cute)". Lifting up her foot from her shoe and revealed a Swiss Army knife. Then opened up a secret pocket in her skirt to reveal smoke bombs. Carter only chuckled.
