V . Vanguard

(Japan)

''Hey John!'' Came a Shout. Turning to Find Mark, Kevan, and Nathan running up to him. ''Hey what's up?'' Asks John. ''What's the Big Deal? You unleash a Great Move on us, then go and Tell Nelly your not coming to the Next Game. What's the Big Deal Huh?'' Asks Mark. '' Sorry but as I Told my Ex, I've an Important Appointment to Keep.'' Says John. ''What kind of Appointment could be more important than the National Soccer Frontier, Huh?'' Demands Kevin as he grips John's Collar. ''The Kind you Don't Say no to, now you've three Seconds to Let go before I Dislocate your Shoulder.'' Says John as he does just that. ''Now if you'll excuse me if I'm any later I'm likely to end up on the National Most Wanted List.'' Says John as he heads off into the Red Lights District.

John Walked into A Nice Little Cafe and Took His Seat. "It Took You Long Enough John." Says Tori. "You Think I Find This Stuff Easy? I Had To Circle Five Times Just To Avoid My Pissed off Team, Then I Had to Threaten Leaving if they didn't Leave me be. Besides Which, In Case You've Forgotten, Your the One Who Said To Keep Quiet About this Thing Of Ours." John Fires Back. "Whatever, You Just Better Start Showing Up on Time, Starting From Now." Says Tori. "You Think Your The First Girlfriend I've Had Act All High and Mighty Cause Her Old Man is Rich and Powerful? Just In Case You Didn't Know My New Team's Manager Happens to be My Ex-Girlfriend, Who's Wealthy and Influential Father is Second to Only Yours. Speaking of Which, I Need To Cancel For Next Week, It's Raimon Vs Royal, and I'm Making My Debut Then and There, So Unless You Want My Streak to End, Your Not Gonna Send The SS Down My Pants again." Says John.

John and Tori Look at Each Other, Defiant Eyed Both of Them, For Onlookers it looks like their about to Punch up. But Typically, They Laugh together and Look no worse for mood. They Were an Odd Couple, None, Not Even Themselves Doubted This, But They Were Happy together. But Their Relationship Was Difficult, John Had Club and International Club Commitments to Uphold, and Vic Had Her Own Political Stuff Going On. They Took their Moments When They Could, and Enjoyed them completely and Utterly.

John Had Left Victoria and Was On His Way Out When He Found His Whole Team Waiting For Him. "Alright, You Owe Us an Explanation!" Demands Mark. "I Don't Owe You Squat." John Counters, as He Clicks His Fingers and Walks Right through them, before time resumes. "What's So Important You Had To Drop Everything? I've Seen Some of Your Matches, and You Never once quit. So What's Different?" Asks Mark. "Ever Hear of Prime Minister Vanguard? His Daughter's A Close Friend of Mine, Who Do You Think I Was Meeting?" Asks John without once Stopping. "Your Friends with The Daughter of the Japanese Prime Minister?" Asks The Team Nerd. "That's ONE Way To Put I Guess. Look I'm Coming To Participate in the Royal Game, If That's Not Enough Then You Can Find Another Player." Says John as He Leaves.
