Sailor Moon Summer Camp

by Tanyaluv

 

Chapter 1: SMSC

"Hey J are you busy?" Mrs Tyrell asked poking her head around the corner of the slightly open door.

"Just a little" James told her not fully concentrating, still puzzling over the Anime picture he was drawing. Trying to get the proportions of the head right.

"Oh right, well I found a summer school thing you might be interested in. Its Anime based, its in the country side so you can take your bike. and even better it has a Airsofting part to it so you can take your stuff along!" She told him. His only thing for choosing a summer camp was that it had to include his favourite pastimes. Airsofting, Anime and cycling. "The only downfall is that's it's a female summer camp"

"Yea sure that's alright" James told her in the same monotone voice that showed that he wasn't listening that well.

"Oh….okey then I'll sign you up then" She told him slightly shocked at him not minding. Since Mr and Mrs Tyrell had to go for a lengthy business trip during the summer holidays so it was required that he went somewhere to stay. Summer camp was the first thing that came into Gwen Tyrell's mind. Since she was brought up in America it was common, she had met Mr Tyrell and moved to Britain.

And so it was sorted. James would be sent to 'Sailor Moon Summer Camp' which was an English speaking Japanese run Summer camp for girls between the ages of 13-17. Which aimed to get the girls to show their artistic side while introducing them to the sport of Airsofting which was quite poplar at the time, and this was where James Tyrell: A male of 16, shy, reserved, slightly nerdish appearance would have to spend a month of his summer holidays in. James was only 5 feet 8. Just under average height for a fully grown man. Not incredibly muscular, more long distance sportsman as it were but still had the ability for the explosive bursts needed to run to each barricade in Airsofting. Airsofting is a sport with similar concept to paintball. But the reason why many people preferred it to paintball with the pain factor. Airsofting guns only fired small 6mm plastic pellets from repliers of real guns. So less the mass of the object that was hitting you, it was less the pain.

It was the day before the flight he needed to take to Japan for the summer camp. All of his clothing was stuffed into a camping bag. Everything he needed was there, cycling clothing, airsofting camouflage, average day stuff. He even brought his flute! Being grade 8 he didn't want to loose his talent over the month without practice. But as it was gunner happen he had all his other stuff as well. A large bike bag held his professional Santa-Cruz bike. And two separate bags held his Airsofting stuff. Its good to say now that James was a fanatic of Airsofting. He lived, breathed and loved it. So it was hard to choose what to bring on the trip. He decided to pack 3 AEG's (Auto Electric Guns) and 1 spring powered guns a shotgun. As well as two gas powered pistols. A Colt M1911 A1 and a High Capa 5.1. All guns included several spear magazines for refilling and one box mag. He also packed the large amount of BB"s and gas that he could get. And spears for most of the guns that he had.

As this was a lot he needed the families SUV to get it all the way there. At the airport the necessary requirements where already made. No hassle just checked in all his stuff and got ready to get on the plane. While walking round duty he noticed a girl around his age also browsing. She had a cute oriental look. Which always sent James over the edge. He loved girl's looks from that end of the globe. But since he was in the airport he dismissed her since they would be most likely going to different ends of the earth.

Eventually after a while his gate was called. Wondering to there he spotted the same girl there. 'She's just returing home probably' he though. And when first class was called he stood up and wondered over. Standing right behind her. First class as well. It was like the gods were trying to put them together or something stupid like that. 'All I need now is to be sat next to her' he thought to himself with a light chuckle. And with the weird ways that aeroplanes do, he was sitting right next to her on a 10ish hour flight to one of the islands of Japan. Being the shy person that he is James couldn't pluck up enough courage to start up a conversation with the cute girl, so turning slightly to glance out of the window he started to take out his Anime Art book and pencils and pens, also taking out his Ipod he started to work on another drawing. Particularly the girl sitting right beside him just in Cartoon form. It hadn't been very long on the flight. Maybe a half an hour. And by now James had already done the body, head and facial features. It was quite clear that it was this girl.

"Hey, that's a nice drawing" James heard, only slightly he wasn't really concentrating. He was busy with the drawing and the aria 'E lucevan le stelle' from the third act. So it took him a second to put the pad down and take his earphone out.

"Pardon?" He asked not sure if she was asking him something or whatever.

"That's a nice drawing. You draw professionally?" She asked him, which obsively meant that she thought it was good.

"What? No no, only pastime" He said rushing.

'You should draw pro. Your good enough. Im Cindy, a stupid name so call me Candy, or C" She told him with a cute smile, holding out her hand for him to shake.

"James, Or J I guess" He told her taking her hand and shaking it lightly.

It was at this moment that the flight attended came to their seat. "Sorry to disturb you two lovebirds" She giggled, where Cindy rolled her eyes, whereas James just leant back and smiled "Can I get you anything to drink?" She asked her shiny red lips bouncing up and down.

"Just a water for me"

"And a Diet Coke please" James continued from Cindy.

"Of course dears. One moment, would you like ice with the water" She asked Cindy who just nodded. "Ice and lemon for your friend?" He asked to Cindy strangely as if she was the one making the order. James just murmured 'sure' and she fetched the drinks. Leaning over she spotted the drawing that he had made. "That a good drawing. Very good if I might say so. Looks remarkably like your lady friend." She noted. Standing back up straight.

When Cindy looked over he started to see the likeness as well. As the lady tottered off on her heels pushing the cart she started to look at James a bit. "Is this based on me?" by this time he was blushing bright red and was stammering a bit trying to think of an excuse. "Awwww so it is! That is sooooo sweet!" She cried out looking at the drawing then him all stuttering and stuff. "So why are on this flight then? Seeing someone?" She asked

"Ummm no my parents are away on a business trip so im being shoved off to a summer camp. Apparent it dose Anime and Airsofting. My double A you might call it." He noted. "Apparently its called SMSC or something like that. That might be the initials. If so don't know what they stand for." He noted.

Cindy was slightly confused by this. She was going to the same camp but wasn't it only for girls? Maybe it was a joke from his mother or something like that. "Sounds like the one im going to as well. I can draw a little Anime but im more a Airsofting girl myself" She joked. An airsofting girl…James was getting more attracted to her by the moment. With that cute complexion he didn't know how he would be able to resist her.

"That's cool, got your own stuff?" He asked curiously.

"Yea, Classic Army Slr. Glock 19 and some Flecktarn camo" She told him grinning. "What about you? Have anything yourself?"

"Well yes im a bit of an enthusiast myself. Heard of 'Team Red '?" He asked, getting a nod back from her. "Well im one of the Founding members of Red" He told her, not really in showing off type of voice, but more of a drawn back voice which his shyness made him tone it down a bit or he would be showing off all over her.

"What?! Really? God you guys are amazing! Saw you at Town Assault 3 hold of the bulk of their side just to get that pilot out!" She squealed really impressed by now. "Oh I remember you now. You were wearing ACU with the M4 Cqb right? Dragging that pilot back to us. My god that was so cool! Not to mention brave. Well I know its only a game but their was several fire teams just raining down fire on your ass at that point" She told him. "Anyway go on"

"Sorry, a girl with your complexions I should have noticed. I get rather involved when airsofting like that. Also I was bricking it at that point." He joked. "Well I have brought for this trip, My good old ICS M4Cqb its changed a little from TA." He had given it a desert color job. "My newly Acquired G36c, G 'n' G M14 and Shotty. Oh and TM M1911 and High Capa" He told her listing what they had inside them in his mind.

"A lot of guns James. Any Tac gear?" She asked smiling.

"Umm yea just too much to mention. I brought Multicam this time, and the general MOLLE stuff" He told her smiling.

"That's so cool, I've always wanted some Multicam." She said jelous "You must let me borrow it sometime" she joked pouting.

"Sure, I think I might have packed some ACU's extra just incase" he told her.

The conversation really carried on from there. The rest of the flight seemed to take no time at all. And before he knew it they had landed at the airport. He was supposed to be getting a lift from a family friend from there to the camp. He walked though the airport to passport control still chatting to Cindy and all the way to baggage reclaim. All his stuff was surprisingly quickly off. So he took his stuff and said bye to Cindy. Asking her if he could have her phone number. She said she didn't think there would be any need. "It is only a small island anyway" She told him knowingly. So he shrugged and walked off to where he would get picked up. All his many bags were on a trolley. And seeing a lady holding a sign saying 'Tyrell' he walked over holding out his hand for her to take. When she bowed slightly he was taken aback a bit and didn't know what to do for a second until she decided it was a bit of a culture shock and took his hand in a light grasp to shake.

"Ummm James isn't it?" She asked

"Yea, Just call me J or J-Bird I don't mind that much" He told her smileing .She was good looking just not as much as Cindy as he thought.

"My name is Mrs Shakahoi. I will be driving you today. My my you do have a lot of stuff don't you" She noted.

"Umm yes well I don't pack light it seems" He joked following her as he started to walk towards the car.

"What do you have in all those bags? Not clothing I hope" She joked her hips swinging back and forth, for a second James was lost in her hips then regained his mind.

"Umm no just airsofting stuff in those bags and a bike in that one" He told her a bit rushed.

"Well lets hope it will all fit in the car then" She said. "On your way to Sailor Moon camp"

"……….Pardon?" He asked hesidantly.
