Chapter 1
The Secret
It was fast approaching Valentine's Day in Tokyo, Japan, and everyone was getting their shops decorated and their festive mood for the occasion. The same was somewhat true at the home of the cast of Japan's hottest anime series, Lilymu.
Mitsuki was conflicted. She didn't know how to tell
Mikey her true feelings about him, and she didn't know how he would
take it if she did tell him.
Maybe I could send him a valentine
telling him how I feel. Or maybe I should just tell him in
person…
"I've gotta go find him", Mitsuki said to herself,
and she went out of her apartment and down the elevator. She just
hoped that Mikey hadn't gotten far…
Michael Alexander
Simon, or usually referred to as Mikey Simon, was having some fun
with his castmate and pal, Gonard. As far as Mikey could tell, it
didn't get any better than this: playing one-on-one with your best
pal on a sunny and warm day. But so far, he was getting his butt
whooped. Gonard was beating him 30-16, but he had stuck to him as
hard as he could on defense and he thought that they were both doing
good.
Nothing could interrupt the fun they were having, expect for
another of Mikey's castmates, Mitsuki, calling out to him. "I'll
be right back, Gonard", Mikey said, and he jogged over to Mitsuki,
who was on the other side of the court. It almost slipped Mikey's
mind, but for a big city, Tokyo had nice basketball courts.
"Yeah,
Mitsuki, what is it?" Mikey asked. She had a bit of a hesitant look
on her face, which was also mixed with nervousness.
"Well,
you know Valentine's Day is coming up, and I need to tell you
something…and I thought this would be a good time to tell you that
I-" But just then Mikey's watch beeped and Mikey had a look of
happiness on his face.
"Oops, I've gotta get going. The new
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles graphic novel is out, and I want
to be one of the first people there. C'mon, Gonard!"
And Mikey
and Gonard ran around Mitsuki to the comic book
store.
"Hhhuuuuuhhhh…"Mitsuki sighed. And she walked back to
Lilymu Towers. It was 7:30 at night, and she needed to get some
sleep. They were filming a new Lilymu sequence tomorrow, and she
didn't want to look tired on screen.
Chapter 2
The Starting Point
Guano was in a good mood. He was ready
to direct a new Lilymu episode tomorrow, and they had gotten a new
prop called the Nature's Orb just for that sequence. When they got
the orb, Guano notice that it was 4 feet around and filled with
rosey-smelling liquid. He was told that if that liquid ever met up
with air, it would dissipate and cause a severe thunderstorm over the
city it broke in for 2 straight days unless something emotionally
good happened.
"If I knew what that last part even meant",
Guano muttered to himself. He just hoped Mikey didn't mess up while
he had the Nature's Orb in the sequence…
The next day, at
6:55 PM, Mikey was getting ready to prepare for the new sequence with
the Nature's Orb. He had suggested a swimming pool behind Lilymu
Towers and thought that the liquid in the Nature's Orb would do
perfect. The pool was already built, so all Mikey needed to do was
get the Orb's liquid, which was not poisonous in any way, into it.
"Worth a try", he said to himself and he went outside to
where the new sequence would be filmed…
The whole
set was in an uproar, mostly because of Lily. "CAN WE JUST GET THIS
FREAKING SEQUENCE OVER WITH?!"
"We've got to have everybody
here, and Mikey still isn't here yet.", Guano patiently answered.
"Maybe he's asking Ozu about this pool. You know how Mikey is.
That's one of the reasons why I-"
"Why you what?"
Mikey had just shown up and was ready to go.
"You suggested the
pool, didn't you, spazoid? Well, NO WAY am I swimming in a pool
with your freakish DNA in it, Mkey Simon!" "Then don't. We'll
just have fun without you", Mikey fired back. In the meantime,
let's do this thing, shall we?"
"PLACES, PEOPLE!" Yoshi got the camera ready. "And we're live in 5…4…3…2…1!
Chapter 3
Take 1!
LILYMU!
Gonard, running down the street with an Ice Raygun in one hand, the Nature's Orb in the other. The Lilymu team hot on his tail. Suddenly a shielded motorcycle blocks his path, and Gonard sees nowhere else to run.
"Give us the Nature's Orb, Gonard! Messing with Mother Nature can be bad!" Kappa Mikey shouts "GUANO GUANO!" replies Guano in agreement to his words
"Sorry, LilySlow-Pokes, but I'm not done with it yet!"
"Then prepare to go deaf! Get back, everyone!" And in one swoop, Mikey fired his Sound Blaster and caught the Nature's Orb. But it was as heavy as it was big, so big that it fell into the empty pool and broke. The liquid turned into a gas, and bellowed out of what was left of the Orb.
Chapter 4
Nature's Problem…
"CUT! Mikey", Guano inquired with an
angry tone, "you're not supposed to drop the Orb, especially not
into the pool!" "Oh, chillax, Guano. At least the pool's
filled." Mikey jumped into the pool, but hurt himself when he hit
the bottom.
"OOOOOOWWWWWW! Hey, where's the rosey-smelling
water?" Mikey looked all around the pool but all he saw was the
remains of the Orb. "Mikey, the liquid from the orb dissipated into
the atmosphere. In 5 minutes, more than the pool is going to be
filled. Let me tell you that right now."
"Yeah, w'ever,
Guano." But just as he spoke, rain started pouring down from the
heavens and soon everyone was soaked.
Ozu ran out to the set
and yelled, "EVERYONE, IN THE BASEMENT! (OZU IS THE MAN WITH THE
PLAN!-YesMan)
"Wait a second, where's Mitsuki?"Lily asked.
What she didn't know was that something great was bound to happen
to her…
Chapter 5
The Secret…and The Unexpected Solution
Mitsuki was already in the basement, crying her heart out. Valentine's Day was in a week, and she didn't' have a date.
What do I have to do to get him
to notice me? What does it take for-- The door opened, and Mikey,
Gonard, Guano, and Lily walked into the basement. Mikey noticed
Mitsuki was crying, so he went over to the couch to sit next to her.
"Mitsuki, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want to be
alone", Mitsuki responded. Mikey didn't buy it. "You can't be
crying over nothing. What's wrong?"
"I-in case we don't
make it out of here, th-there's something that I have to tell you."
"You've been trying to tell me something all day yesterday and
today. I'm listening", Mikey told her.
Mitsuki tried her best
to tell him, but she was scared that he wouldn't take it like she
wanted. "I…I… uh, I.."
Mikey encouraged her, "C'mon,
you can tell me."
She didn't know how to, so she just decided
to. "I…I love you. I've loved you ever since you came here, and
I always will." Then she prepared for the worst…
Mikey was
taken aback. "Sh-she loves me? Ever since I came to Japan? Wow…"
The Beatles' 'The Long and Winding Road' was playing in his
head, even thought he was happy.
The next thing he knew, he had
been pulled down to Mitsuki, who was laying her head on his lap, and
he could feel her lips pushing against his and her arms around his
back.
I don't believe it. She actually loves
me…
Epilogue
Valentine's Day
Mikey
and Mitsuki walked down the street with Mikey carrying a bouquet of
roses in one hand. Mitsuki was walking beside him with a somewhat sad
face. "What's up, Mitsuki?"
She answered, "I'm just so
happy about today that it's hard to take it." Mikey rubbed his
hand up and down Mitsuki's back saying, "Hey, if you ever need
ol' Mikey, I'm here for you and I always will be. I love you, too
Mitsuki."
"Thanks Mikey", Mitsuki answered. And they kept walking…
