===Episode 10===
((Inner Sphere High))
Announcer: <<Let's hear your support for the valiant efforts of our football team for the best effort against Clan High. Final Score: 85-6. Casualty report: 4 dead, 11 wounded.>>
Galen: Hey, they got two field goals this time!
Victor: And the body count is NO where near the last one.
Galen: I hear they're offering life insurance policies for the second string now.
Hohiro: Hai. They need them....We are practically inviting them onward.
Kai: Yeah, those Clanners sure are tough.
Phelan: Hey guys....what's shaking?
Victor: You look bummed man, what is it?
Phelan: (sighs) It's Vlad.
Hohiro: Is he STILL mad?
Phelan: You think he would find it humorous when we replaced his jock itch medicine with the SRM propellant.
Kai: Or the time we hard-wired his Mad Cat to believe it was a quad 'Mech.
Galen: Or that one time we set him up with that blind date with Cassie.
Victor: (laughs) I remember that! (imitates Vlad) Who is this filth doing...….(screams) HERE!!!!! (imitates Cassie) Must kill!
Cassie: Must kill?
Galen: (kisses Cassie) No, honey. No kill just yet.....
Cassie: Must kill...…soon?
(The boys look at Cassie)
Hohiro: Did she learn a new word?
Galen: (smiles) Yup.
Victor: That's the most she's ever said in English since that ZOOL comment with Taney...How did that giftbake ceremony go..
Phelan: That's giftTAKE.
Victor: Whatever.
Kai: Well, he did get incinerated when Victor's cell bomb went off!
Kathy: (out of nowhere): Did I just here Victor was incinerated by a cell phone bomb! Oh no! My poor brother is dead! WAAAAAAAAH!
Kai, Phelan, and Victor: Ahem.
Kathy: Victor's not dead? (sigh) Oh well, got to go. I got to manipulate the media against you. I mean co-ordinate my purse with my shoes.
Victor: (shakes head sadly) What am I going to do with her?
Cassie: Must kill?
(everyone ponders that)
Victor: Nah.....Mom will take away my Federated Express Card and Dad will take away my PLAY-FEDCOM subscription.
Galen: Have you seen last months?
Kai: No, who is in it?
Galen: It's the girls of ComStar.
Victor: It's got Primus Mori conducting a class on HPG mechanics.
Hohiro: That's not exciting.....
Victor: She's teaching the class stark raving nak.......
Waterly: Silence blasphemer! To speak the name of the infidel who has destroyed our most blessed....
Focht: (over loud-speaker) <<Attention all students the "Weirdos for Wobbies club" has been disbanded. I regret to inform you that all the members killed each other in internecine fighting to see which sub-faction would lead the group.>>
Waterly: FOCHT!!!!! (storms off)
Victor: That can't be good. Oh yeah, what's up with Vlad?
Phelan: Not much...He wants to have a rumble.
Kai: Augmented?
(Phelan nods)
Kai: Clan style?
(Phelan nods)
Kai: MELEE??
(Phelan nods)
Victor: (calls on cell phone) Dad? Yeah, its me Victor. Can I borrow one of the Avalons for a few hours? Yeah, Vlad's sticking it to Phelan again....Really, great. Will you tell the Simon Davion Alpha 4-3-2, by Sierra 1-1-8, -20 degress down fire for effect? Grant, I'll send Phelan and his dad Mom's best. Later...
Phelan: What was that all about?
((Thunder and lightning erupt outside))
Hohiro: What was that???
Kai: (giggles) Space to shore bombardment.
Kali: Only a treacherous devil like you would resort to a......
(Galen pulls a shiny ball out of his pocket, bounces it once and then throws it over Kali's head)
Kali: (squeals with de-light) SHHHHHHIIIINNNNNNYYYYY! (runs after ball)
Hohiro: So what are you guys taking next semester?
Kai: Inner Sphere Politics 330. How to avoid interstellar war at the family reunion. Vic, maybe you should take that class too.
Victor: (nods) Maybe.
Galen: Temporal Mechanics 410....How to be two people at the same time.
Hohiro: Modern Psychology 357...How to use self-deception to rule an interstellar empire.
Phelan: Comparative Psychology 402.....How to rebuild a society from the ground up.
Victor: I kind of feel bad. None of the Periphery kids got to enroll this semester.
Kai: If it makes you feel better Vic, the school chorus is singing a song in solidarity for the Periphery states.
(Kai opens the door, and the group watches the chorus)
