Chapter 4: Deuce's Tsum I
The next day at Main Street, Deuce is already having a bit of trouble with his Tsum. The Deuce Tsum comes around the Main Street before zooming away with Ace and the original Deuce chasing it.
Ace breathes in exhaustion, "It went that way!"
"...Now's my chance!" Deuce says and charges at it. Then Deuce mananges to catch his Tsum counterpart, "Finally got you... What's the big idea running out of the dorm, huh?"
However, the Deuce Tsum begins to struggle, trying to break free.
Deuce holds a tight grip, "Stop struggling! I'm not letting you go."
Ace is relieved, "Whew, that was exhausting. if the housewarden hadn't ordered me to help catch it, I would've ducked out way sooner," Then turns to Deuce, "Way to add to my workload. I'm busy enough prepping for an unbirthday party as it is."
"Like you ever do anything but complain. I could've caught one little tsum without your help," Deuce says, annoyed with anger.
Then the Deuce Tsum stares at Ace, with angry brows.
Seeing the two with the same expression, Ace stiffles his laughter, "You guys really are alike. Especially the bits where you drag others into your messes and make rude faces."
"Don't treat me like I'm some rowdy child!" Deuce says, offended.
"Yeah, yeah. All that running's got me starved. Let's hit up the cafeteria for a snack," Ace says.
After a moment of silence, Deuce agrees, "...All right."
Then turns to Deuce Tsum, "Tsum, you'd better behave yourself while we're in there."
The Tsum nods in response.
Moments later, both Ace and Deuce arrive in the cafeteria, and it's very packed.
"How is it so crowded when it's not even lunchtime yet?" Deuce wonders.
Then notices some of the students, "Are those Spelldrive Club students?"
"Hey, good eye. They must've come straight here after morning practice," Ace says.
Soon, a couple of Savanaclaw Students walk over to the boys.
One of the students asks, "Check it out. That's one of those tsums, right?"
"I've heard about those things," The second Student says and snrk, "Between that doofy face and the spade marking, I definitely see the resemblance."
"What...?" Deuce reacts, and makes a frown.
Ace turns to Deuce and says, "Dude, don't react to those losers. I don't need any more trouble."
"I know, okay? The 'doofy face' thing just got under my skin," Deuce replies.
Then sighs, "If I start something, the housewarden will have my head. Even I'm not that self-destructive."
The student then pushes the boys out of the way,"Move it. Those are our usual seats."
The other student pushes them as well, "Isn't it kind of early for you guys? Why don't you and your tsum go take a little nappy in the corner? Hahaha!"
This really makes Deuce mad, "Rgh... They're treating my lack of response as a pass to walk all over me... We can sit and eat wherever we want!"
But then, something strange begins to happen. The Decue Tsum hops off of Deuce's shoulders, and begins to enlarge itself. This has Ace and Deuce shocked.
Ace is the first to react, "Uh, are you seeing this? The tsum's getting HUGE! It was little enough to ride on your shoulder before!"
The Deuce Tsum continues to grow and grow, until it's really huge. Then darts away and makes a big jump.
Deuce has a bad feeling and asks, "Ah! Where are you going, tsum?!"
One of the students cries out, "Whoa! What in the world?!"
And the Deuce Tsum tackles both the Savanaclaw Students to the ground.
Ace is impressed, "Ooh, NICE. The tsum tackled that Spelldrive Club jerk to the floor."
And the Deuce Tsum continues to headbutt both students.
The second student cries out, "Oww! Every time that tsum headbutts me, it knocks my head back against the floor!"
Deuce panics, "Tsum, what are you doing?! Don't cause a scene!" and rushes to where the scene is, "I'd better pry you off of his face..." He picks up the Tsum and tries to pull it off. However, the Tsum has a tight grip on the student's hair.
The second student cries out, "AAAGH! MY HAIR!"
The first student screams, "Hey, quit it! Don't pull his hair out!"
"Well, I can't let this guy keep headbutting him all day!" Deuce says and tries to pull it off, "Rgh, it's surprisingly strong..." Seeing that it's not working, Deuce stands back, "Fine, if that's how it's gonna be..."
Then calls out to it, "Hey, tsum! If you don't let him go, I'm gonna drop a cauldron on you!"
And again, the Deuce Tsum continues with its assault.
"Okay, I warned you!" Deuce angrily says.
And with that, he uses his magic to summon the cauldron to drop it on the Tsum. However, the Tsum jumps out of the way, and the second student has been crushed.
The second student screams, "URGH!"
Deuce yelps, realizing his mistake, "Ack, the tsum dodged out of the way! Sorry, I didn't mean to drop it on you...!"
Ace tries his hardest not to laugh, "Pfft... Am I watching sketch comedy here?" and ends up laughing, "Bwahaha!"
Sometime later, Deuce has finally got the Tsum to stop, and it has finally calmed down.
Ace finishes laughing and says, "Ahh, that was hilarious. Your tsumposter's gold."
Deuce glares at Ace, "It's not funny, you know. If our housewarden catches wind of what happened back there..."
Then turns to the Tsum, "Look. It doesn't matter if you're mad. You have to suck it up. I'm managing that myself."
"I dunno, it's kinda worth the entertainment value to me. The way it flips out at the slightest provocation is totally you," Ace says.
Deuce angrily says, "Cut it out! Sheesh, way to be as unhelpful as possible..."
