Note:
I own nothing. Not the characters, not the anime.
I thought I'd try something simple for my first go, so bear with me, cause I WILL do more!
"Hey!" Mai yelled as Ayako dumped a bottle of soda on her.
"Happy birthday!" Ayako said, with a much to big smile on her face to be just for that. "Thanks…" Mai was glaring at her under her now wet bangs. "Eh…" John was in the corner trying to not get dunked with the other bottle Ayako was holding, "You okay, Mai?"
"Well, at least someone cares" Mai thought to herself. She didn't have time to answer before the always weird, rude and mean, yet totally handsome( at least to her) Naru stepped in the room with a bored expression, as usual. "You know, it would be nice to see you people actually do something worth being done here, once and a while" he said through partly closed eyes. He frowned at Ayako as she was eyeing him with her soda bottle. "So, what'd ya get me, Nawu? Mai said in that voice she knew she was going to pay for using later. "Nothing" he said bluntly. "Yeah, what could I expected". She was feeling pretty ticked off.
"That's okay Mai, I have something for you!" Ayako sprang at Mai with the other soda bottle, when Monk came in and ending up being the one dunked. "What the heck? What was that!?" he was flailing his arms in the air, with soda all over his new shirt. "Oops…" Mai could see Ayako was enjoying this. "Hmm…" they noticed Lin was in the room then. "Would you stop dunking people? My computer is going to get zapped." he wasn't even looking at them. "Geez, Lin. What do you do on there anyway, Facebook?" Seemed like a reasonable assumption. "Research."
He was still staring unblinkingly at his computer, yet Mai could tell he was enjoying the sight of Monk getting dunked, even if through the corner of his eye. "So Mai, what do you want to do for your birthday today?" Masako said in the opposite side of the room. "Um…" she hadn't thought of that, "Well, how about the amusement park." "Ooh.." Masako said gently " to go on a rollacoster with Naru, huh? How romantic." Mai couldn't believe what she just heard. "Say what?!" She only hoped he hadn't heard. "A don't like rollacosters." Naru said while looking at a book." "Good, cause I'd never go on one with you, anyway." "Masako always had to ruin chances like these… wait, what was I thinking!?" Mai thought. "No worries, Mai." John said with a smile, "I'd be happy to join you. "Thanks John." he was always so kind, which is what led her to become a Christian at one point. Her life had changed since the day she found out she was part of the team, even if she was still getting used to things.
"When do ya want to go?" Ayako was still snickering at Monk.
"Now!" Mai said cheerfully. "Unless you can't go yet, Nawu?" "You should really listen to what I say at the end of the day. I already said I was busy." DANG! "Okay…" she was feeling very, very ticked off now. "Seriously!" Ayako said and took Mai by the arm and stomped off.
"You know… Naru," Lin finally seemed to get a little out of his shell, now that everyone was gone besides them., "Mai has gone through a lot… you should treat her better…" he sealed up again. "I don't have time for emotions to rule my mind." Naru said. "She'll be fine without me, she's strong." "She is strong , but is still only a girl."
They took a while to say anything, before Naru got up. "She'll be fine. I don't have time for her."
I was lazy afternoon before Ayako and Mai were in the park. They had lost the others, since she had taken Mai shopping for unmentionables and expansive chocolate candies, and said something about having "female needs, therefore they had to have a girl's day".
To be continued.
