Honestly, I had this idea last year. After I finished the series, I reread a book and then realized how similar the characters' personalities may be if they had the right counterparts.

So, yeah. Here I am, actually attempting to write one of my old ideas.

God spare me from the shame.


"And I'm done!" I sighed in relief. I stretched my arms lazily as I set aside the book on the floor next to my futon.

Nicola and the Viscount, a romance novel that I can now declare as one of my favorites—if not, then it surely must be my favorite now, I thought to myself.

"Finally!" Nami cried. "Can we please turn off the lights and sleep now?"

"Mou! That wouldn't be fun at all, Nami-chan!" Mio argued, tightly hugging her teddy bear. "It's still early and Fuyuumi-chan's sleepover would be put to waste if we slept now!"

"And besides, Mio hasn't shared her violent romance fantasies to us yet," Nao muttered under her breath, angrily, if I was asked to describe how she said it.

"It's the violin romance, Nao!" Mio corrected.

"Whatever. I'm agreeing with Amou on this one. Can't you see that Fuyuumi-chan over there is already trying to sleep?"

"I-Iie!" Fuyuumi stuttered, waving both of her hands in front of her chest. "I don't mind at all, senpai!" She stated rather quickly, probably abashed because of Nao's words. Poor thing.

"B-But Manami-senpai seems to be e-enjoying her beauty sleep, though…" She said timidly, looking down while fiddling with her fingers.

"And I want my beauty sleep, too!" Nami screeched from under her blanket. "Can we please—just, please—get some sleep now?"

"Fine, fine." Mio said in defeat. "But I won't be the one to turn off the lights! Kami-sama knows what I might see when the lights are out." Mio shuddered, clutching her teddy bear even tighter.

"So who'll be the brave soul tonight?" Nao put a hand on her hip as she scanned the remaining four around her who was still awake. "Mio's too scared, Nami wants to sleep, Manam's already asleep, and it'd be rude to let Fuyuumi switch it off since we're in her room, her house."

"I d-don't mind at all, s-senpai!" Fuyuumi stuttered, getting up from her bed… Which Nao reacted to with an intent glare. "Not now," she said.

I sighed. I knew that at one point, it would all lead to me anyways. "And since Kahoko was the reason we didn't put the lights out earlier…" Nao continued with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Fine!" I shouted exasperatedly. I stood up from my futon and glanced back at my book. "See if I won't!" Ha, a line that was commonly used by some of the characters…

"You do that." Nao yawned. "While I—" I heard a thud from where Nao probably was. I heaved another sigh and looked back at all their sleeping figures… Nicola and the Viscount, I thought about the book again. The personalities of some characters are like them…

Fuyuumi-chan's like Eleanor Sheridan, who's changed because of Nicola, just as Fuyuumi-chan became more outgoing because of me. She would also make a great sister, too, I smiled at that thought. Although, her personality isn't entirely as upbeat as Eleanor's, I think I can somehow influence her enough, don't you agree?

Nami-chan would be more like Madame Vieuxvincent because of her strict but helpful ways, I guess.

Manami-chan would be like Martine because she's always so caring and generous…

Mio and Nao would be like Nana and Puddy because they're probably the greatest people you could have as a family…

And me? I'd be like Nicola Sparks.

I switched off the lights and retreated back to my soft futon on the floor. Snuggling my pillow close, a sudden thought entered my mind…

Who'd be my Nathaniel Sheridan?

Even after the concours, Mio and Amou-san kept bothering me about the violin romance, saying that I should pick one of the concour participants to relive the legend with me…

"Rubbish," I would tell them. "But, Kaho-chan! What about the violin romance?" One of them would try to argue back. "It's just a silly legend…" I would reply, making them walk away feeling dejected.

I sighed again.

There's Tsuchiura-kun who'd probably be like Edward Pease because of his ability to stay unaware of a lot of stuff… not that he's oblivious or anything.

Hihara-senpai would be like Harold Blenkenship because of their same fashion sense. They both can be a bit sensitive, too…

Yunoki-senpai would definitely be Lord Sebastian Bartholomew because of his being bipolar… I mean his having split personalities.

Shimizu-kun would be Sir Hugh Parker… romantically speaking, at least. He'd be really good with Fuyuumi-chan. If only the two of them would realize that soon enough.

And Tsukimori-kun… would be Nathaniel? Nathaniel can be brash at times, and also can be very frank with his words… like Tsukimori-kun?

This… is… confusing! Maybe I should… go to sleep? Yeah, a good night's rest should probably do the trick…

"Kahoko Hino, make sure you won't be surprised at all when you wake up..."


Lol. You might be… obviously confused. Oh well~! I think the second chapter will help you understand how my story will go… until then, no spoilers. ;;) Although the plot is rather obvious, might as well stay quiet for now. :-" If you can guess the plot I'm trying to write correctly, I will give you a pie! :DD

This chapter is short. Raawrr. But I'm satisfied with nearly eight hundred words this time. Think of it as a prologue for now. ;)

Comments, suggestions, and the like are highly welcome. Flame me, I don't really care. :-j

I'm on vacation, people! \:D/

`Till then. :-h
