Note: Mai-Hime is an anime that was done by the studio Sunrise.
Natsuki Kuga opened up her eyes and looked at her clock. It was seven in the morning, so she figured that she better get up and start getting ready for the day. She figured that she was going to have a nice, simple day. She was unaware of the chaos that was coming her way. She got out of bed and started getting ready for the day.
Later on, Natsuki's cellphone was ringing. Natsuki looked at it and saw that her girlfriend, Shizuru Fujino, was calling. Natsuki answered the phone and said, "Hi Shizuru. What's going on?"
Shizuru replied, "Hi sweetheart. I'm afraid that I come down with a bad case of love sickness."
Natsuki said, "Oh no."
Shizuru replied, "In other words, I miss you."
Natsuki said, "It hasn't been that long."
Shizuru replied, "They say that times flies by fast, when you're having fun. That's why I feel like I'm in a race when I'm with you. You make my heart race up with the highest amount of happiness."
Natsuki blushed and said, "That's charming and all, but I have a feeling that you have a question that you want to ask me."
Shizuru replied, "I sure do. Do you want to have lunch with me? I know that you're often busy with your crime fighting stuff, but I'm hoping that you have some free time."
Natsuki said, "Of course I get free time. I would be crazy depressed and lonely without you." She paused and said, "I hope that doesn't make me sound weak."
Shizuru gently replied, "Of course not. Having a gentle heart is hardly anything worth feeling weak about. You're the strongest person I know, because you gave my heart the strength of love."
Natsuki blushed and said, "Shizuru, stop being so precious. You know that I have a love/hate relationship with your overly sweet compliments."
Shizuru replied, "I'm sorry honey, but you're too adorable to not compliment."
Natsuki said, "I'll meet you at the restaurant that's across from your house. We can meet up at noon."
Shizuru replied, "Okay then. I'm quite excited for that. I love you."
Natsuki responded, "I love you too."
A few minutes later Natsuki went into the living room. She faced her parents and said, "I'm going to go have lunch with Shizuru."
Natsuki's mom replied, "Have a nice time."
Natsuki responded, "Thank you."
Natsuki's dad stuck his hands in the air and said, "Hold on, I have some fatherly advice for you."
Natsuki walked up to her dad and asked, "What's the advice?"
Natsuki's dad said, "Get the cheapest food that they have and get a small drink, not a large one. It's important to save as much money as possible."
Natsuki asked, "Isn't having a good time more important than saving money?"
Natsuki's dad talked in a passionate sounding voice while saying, "There's no good time that's more enjoyable than saving money."
Natsuki went into her car and started driving to the restaurant. However, she looked around and saw that Gonna Getcha was trying to rob an ice cream truck. Natsuki parked her car and ran up to the old criminal. She asked, "What are you up to?"
Gonna Getcha said, "I'm robbing the ice cream truck."
Natsuki asked, "Are you that desperate for a snack?"
Gonna Getcha tapped Natsuki on the head and said, "I'm more of a thinker than you think I am."
Natsuki replied, "You don't seem to think very often. You seem to just waste your brain on repetitive bank robbing schemes. However, this scheme seems to involve the ice cream truck instead of a bank, so perhaps your brain is moving to smaller and more mundane things."
Gonna Getcha responded, "This ice cream is far different than any other ice cream truck. Your dad drove the grocery stores in the city crazy by complaining about how much money they charge for ice cream. The grocery store owners and employees were so tired of his whining that they stopped selling ice cream. This ice cream is the only place in the city that sells ice cream."
Natsuki asked, "What about Dairy Queen?"
Gonna Getcha said, "Your dad visited them so many times and whined about their prices so much, that they just sell chicken baskets now."
Natsuki folded her arms and said, "Your plan still confuses me. Is your plan about stealing ice cream cones?"
Gonna Getcha proudly replied, "Don't underestimate Gonna Getcha."
Natsuki replied, "I overestimated you. I used to think that you were a genuine threat."
Gonna Getcha angrily said, "I'm gonna get revenge on you for that." He paused and said, "Anyways, my plan doesn't involve getting ice cream cones. The ice cream truck has taken advantage of the fact that there's no other places to get ice cream around here. They've made tons of money. I plan on taking all of the money that they've gotten and use it to a make an account at the bank. A nearby bank has made a policy that people that make an account get to look at the bank vault for five minutes. I'm going to use that five minutes to rob the bank." He did an evil laugh and twirled his mustache.
Natsuki replied, "No offense, but that's one of the weirdest and most pointless plans that you've ever had. You've broken into tons of banks and I've always been able to stop you. The fact that you think that you can change things up is a foolish thought to have."
Gonna Getcha responded, "Hey, people can change." He started ignoring Natsuki and started grabbing the ice cream truck's money supply.
Natsuki punched Gonna Getcha and said, "Stop it with the money schemes. One thing that can never change is that justice defeats evil."
Gonna Getcha replied, "Justice is an overrated concept. Following the rules of evil is much more entertaining."
Natsuki kicked Gonna Getcha to the ground and said, "Watching the bad guys get defeated by the good guys is entertaining."
Gonna Getcha kicked Natsuki and replied, "That's boring. I'm tired of the bad guys always losing in the films. If Hollywood wanted things to get more unique, they should start making films where the good guy loses and the bad guy wins."
Natsuki punched and kicked several times. Gonna Getcha had several fight moves, but it was hardly anything that gave Natsuki a challenge. Gonna Getcha figured that he had to change up his attack moves, so that he could pose a threat to Natsuki. He looked around the ice cream and found dozens of ice cream cones. He started throwing the ice cream cones at Natsuki.
Natsuki asked, "Do you actually think that ice cream cones can pose a threat to me?"
Gonna Getcha looked like an overconfident fool while saying, "I sure do." The criminal grabbed a tub of vanilla ice cream and threw it at Natsuki. Natsuki didn't get hurt, but she had lots of ice cream on her hair and clothes.
Suddenly, Yuuichi came. He was riding on fireworks and was wearing a cat costume. He fell off of the fireworks. The fireworks crash landed on the ice cream truck. Natsuki, Gonna Getcha, and Yuuichi ran away from the ice cream fast enough that they didn't get blown up. However, several broken pieces of the ice cream truck landed on Gonna Getcha, including the doors. Gonna Getcha passed out.
Natsuki looked at Yuuichi and asked, "Why were you riding on fireworks and why are you wearing a cat costume?"
Yuuichi tried to not sound desperate while saying, "I was trying to impress you. Fireworks are considered impressive and fancy dancy things, so I decided to ride on them. Als, cats are considered to be super cute, so I got a cat costume. I thought that you would consider me the coolest and cutest guy in the world."
Natsuki replied, "No offense, but that was dangerous and pathetic." Yuuichi felt ashamed of himself. She said, "However, Gonna Getcha got defeated by that stuff, so it seems like you have potential to be a hero."
Yuuichi replied, "Thanks Natsuki. Do you think that you can dump Shizuru and start dating me?"
Natsuki said, "No way." She got back into her car and started heading to the restaurant.
Natsuki was still covered with ice cream. She desperately hoped that the staff would be okay with that. She walked inside, but a snooty waiter said, "You look like garbage, so get out of here." She stuck her tongue out at the waiter and sat outside. Shizuru saw what happened, so she went outside and sat next to her.
Natsuki said, "I'm sorry for being late and for getting kicked out. I had a crazier day than I thought it would. Gonna Getcha had a dumb plan that involved using ice cream cone money for a silly bank scheme and Yuuichi rode on fireworks and defeated him. My life is an eccentric mess."
Shizuru patted Natsuki on the back and replied, "The more unique, the better."
Natsuki said, "But I ruined our lunch plans."
Shizuru replied, "But you messed them up by doing the right thing. You're the most selfless person I know. The size of your heart is bigger than the size of any country."
Natsuki said, "Thank you. Your sweetness is bigger than the size of the United States." She and Shizuru kissed each other.
Shizuru said, "Lets go to my house. I can give you some clean clothes, we can order pizza, and have a charmingly eccentric lunch."
Natsuki smiled and replied, "Sounds like the perfect afternoon." Natsuki's life was weirder than she expected it would be, but Shizuru's charmingly eccentric support made her life better than she could ever imagine it would be.
