Alright as most of you know I am:
1.) A college student.
2.) A ninja fanatic.
3.) Not shy about Halloween.

So, I saw an ad. in our University paper to dress up in our halloween costumes whenver we go to lunch. If we did, we'd win a free lunch. So, I figured I'd dress up as a Ninja. Its free food, and one thing you'll understand very quickly once you enter College is how poor you are. So, since I naturally can't go to all of my classes as a ninja, I figured I'd change in the restroom outside of the cafeteria. The mens and womens restroom are directly across from each other; that is, when you leave the men's restroom, if you kept walking straight you'd be in the women's. My halloween costume looked like this: www.myspace.com/drjones254 . Little additions were I had two plastic katanas at the hip, and black plastic shurikens along my waist line. I adjust my uniform, check myself in the mirror and open the door.

I see two pirates standing directly across from me coming out of the women's restroom. I was stunned and shocked like "...". One of the two pirates took out one of the little pea shooter guns and shot at me.

I nimbly evaded the shot, and threw a shuriken at my assailant's weapon. Then, I'm on them like lightning, katanas out. They both draw their weapons and we fight. Not "tee-hee I have a weapon I poke you fight" like "omfg mother @#$#@ you're gonna die" fight.

So I'm sitting there fighting two pirates. The one with the gun kept trying to shoot me, and I'd keep knocking her gun away with a kick or katana slice at the last moment. Eventually, I get the two pirates on both sides of me and the one with the gun tries to shoot me once more. I evaded the shot and the pea nailed the other pirate. She "died" and fell to the floor. One pirate down, one to go.

As we fight up the hall to the cafeteria (which was up a staircase) I can tell she is no novice. A few times she almost decked me, and she always got slightly out of the way of my deaht blows. She had ran out of bullets in her gun, and had drawn another sword (she was using a scimitar, which is typical of pirates). Blades met blades, kicks met blocks and vice versa. We fought end on end all the way to the lunch room, and by now I notice that we have quite a few onlookers (started at the bathroom and built up). There are at least 300 people watching our epic battle, and I become thrilled.

I finally spot a weakness in her blades and trip her up. She lands on the floor and swept me down as well. She got bakc up and raised her scimitar to cut me, but I rolled out of the way. I swept her one last time, and stabbed down for the killing shot, my plastic blade bending against her flesh.

By now I become completely aware of the magnitude of people watching me, and I sheathe my weapons and ran into the closest shadow I could find, perfectly blending in.

As I run, I heard a person in the crowd say "I told you Ninjas were better than Pirates".

I head back to the restroom and wait in the dimly lit corner for the two pirate women to return, which they do.

No weapons were drawn this time, but we were both still in uniform. My costume was perfect, so my true identity was never revealed. Theirs were equally as good, as I could not distinguish much about them. I could tell the lead pirate I had fought had a very nice rack though >_>.

In the end, I eventually removed my mask and showed them my true identity. We became friends and I got both of their numbers.

Of course, I could never pursue a dating type relationship with this person, as she is a pirate and pirates must die >_>

So, a little out of the ordinary wouldn't you say?

A very interesting day...Follow
