Well here's chapter one…Hope you like it! And don't forget to R&R. Thanks!
…………………………………………………………………………
Chapter One: A Trip To The Mall…
It's been 2 years since Ayu, and the others met. They can't believe that they spent time together for that long. They have experienced many things in their life, the sad times, the good times, the happy times, and those times when they shared their own problems and feelings. Those times are such memorable that no one will never forget. And now, after 2 years of bond and frienship, they are graduating college Together…
"Hagu, isn't it great, we can finally graduate college. We can be adults and do whatever we want." Yamada smiled as her thoughts for the future flashed in her mind.
She was thinking of having a job first, and if she ever finds one, she'll have a party with all of her family and friends invited. The thought of having a nice condominium, a nice car, a cute puppy, and also a kind and loving husband also flashed in her mind. When she thought of the 'husband thing,' the first person she thought of was Takumi Mayama, the person whom she was in love with since the first time she met him. But then, she realized that it was impossible and shook her head.
"What are you planning to do after the graduation?" Yamada asked, as she looked to the blonde girl beside her.
"I don't know…Hmm? Wait, I know! I'll go to the province where I grew up and maybe stay there for a while. And of course, I want to make some artworks along the way, too." She smiled and sighed.
"I wonder what will happen if I ask Takemoto and Uncle to come." She thought.
"So, are you thinking of Takemoto, you like him, don't you?" Yamada teased.
"Wha-What do you mean! I don't like Takemoto" she blushed.
"How did she know that I was thinking of Takemoto and besides, why on earth will I like Takemoto" she thought and then blushed.
Yamada, in the other hand still thinks that Hagu likes Takemoto because it's seen in her face, the way she response every time they talk about Takemoto and how her cute little face turns into a huge red tomato. Every time Yamada thinks about it, makes her laugh a little.
After thinking all of this stuff, Yamada gazed at the stars shining above her, still thinking what they'll do after the graduation. She thought of two questionable things, Will they be separated or Will they still be friends until they're old? Making her think like this makes her want to eat her favourite chocolate ice cream or just something sweet. Then after a few seconds, she thought of having a bonding session in the mall with her friend, Hagu.
"Hagu, Why don't we go to the mall and hang out?" she asked.
"Sure, that's great. We can also buy outfits for the upcoming graduation next week. Hey Ayu, why don't we ask Uncle and the others to join us…that would be great, wouldn't it?" She smiled; thinking what will happen if they do come.
"Don't!" she yelled. "This is only for ladies not for men. We will have our bonding session and no one will bother us."
"Ok, if you say so" she sighed. She was thinking of having burgers with her dear Uncle in her favourite burger stall and also, eating her favourite vanilla ice cream with Takemoto.
"Wait a minute. Why do I keep on thinking about Takemoto these days? I don't like Takemoto, right". She thought and then shook her head. "Or do I?"
"So when's the shopping?" Hagu asked.
"Hmm? How about tomorrow." She replied.
"Ok then, tomorrow it is."
"Hagu, it's getting late. Let's go to sleep early so that we can get ready tomorrow." They then wished each other a good night and then they both slept.
The next day…
"Right, it's time to wake up." Yamada said. She then yawned a little and stretched her arms and legs so that she can finally be awaken.
She woke up Hagu from her 'deep' slumber. She tried to wake Hagu by shaking her body or just taking the blanket from her. She tried everything and sadly, she failed that she just decided to go to the bathroom ahead of her. She took a shower and made a bubble bath. Yamada then soaked her body in the bath with her Rubber Ducky, Mr. Ducky. And while she was taking a bath, she was thinking what she'll buy in the mall until…a picture of Mayama flashed in her mind. She saw Mayama with Rika, a girl from Harada Designs, where Mayama works. She was also the love of Mayama. Since Mayama left for Hokkaido, thoughts of him just suddenly flash in her mind, making her really uncomfortable.
'No, please stop it. I don't wanna see it.' She thought as she placed her hands in her head trying to shake the pictures off of her mind. But no matter how hard she tries, the thoughts of Mayama and Rika just comes back in her mind…then, Hagu came to her aid. Hagu comforted her and told her, 'Ayu, be strong…Don't be a coward. I know you can get over through this…and besides you have to face the truth cause if you don't face it, you'll suffer even more and no one wants to see you like that, right.' This then made Yamada a little bit more relieved. She then thanked her and splatted her some of the water in the tub making her wet all over her face. And after a few seconds, they started to laugh, especially Ayu. Hagu saw her and she just simply smiled.
Yamada, in the other hand, was a little bit shocked about what Hagu told her. She can't believe that her friend is maturing. And she was really proud of her. She then rinsed her body and wrapped herself in a towel. She then went outside to get changed. And it was Hagu's turn to take a bath. And like Yamada, she had a long bubble bath with her Rubber Bunny, Mr. Rabbit. And not like Ayu's yellow rubber ducky, she had a pink rubber bunny. She loved her rubber bunny because it was given to her by her uncle, Sujii.
After taking a bath, they dressed up and head to the mall but then a person chased them, it was their annoying friend, Shinobu Morita. He was shouting like, "Wait for me, you guys! Don't leave me!"
"Hagu, let's go…Run!!!" she yelled as she looked away from Morita. She then held Hagu's small hand and they both ran together with smiles in their faces.
But unfortunately, Morita caught them. Yamada sighed and thought that their plans will be ruined because of their annoying friend. But then she was wrong. In fact, he can help them choose the outfits they'll wear in the graduation. 'Well since his a guy after all, we can know what guys' tastes are' She thought.
The three of them were walking together silently when suddenly they saw a boutique that was in sale and couldn't resist in checking it out. They made some few picks and decided to try them on.
This is the list of their picks:
Ayumi Yamada:
- a red strapless dress with a nice layered cut at the bottom. It's like more suited in a Valentine's party than a Graduation Party.
- a white dress with a light blue lining with laces on the side.
- a blue dress with some cute colourful butterfly designs.
Hagumi Hanamoto:
- a red polka dot dress with ribbons at the back.
- a yellow skirt with a white tank top shirt.
- a purple dress with a matching purple necklace.
…………………………………………………………………………
Ok…this is the list of the dress they picked. And now it's time to try them on!!!...
…………………………………………………………………………
"Hagu, have you picked yet?" Yamada asked holding the dresses she picked.
"Yeah…let's try them on, shall we?" Hagu smiled.
"Sure!" she said. She then looked at Morita who was standing in the corner and asked, "Hey Morita, why don't you come with us?"
"Yes! I was waiting for this the whole time. Now, where should I start?" Morita rejoiced thinking of some perverted thoughts.
"That's not what I meant." Yamada said as she kicked Morita at the back. "I meant to say that you help us decide what we'll wear."
"Ok fine…but you don't have to kick me!" Morita yelled holding his aching back.
"Well don't think perverted thoughts!" Yamada yelled and went in the dressing room with Hagu in the other dressing room.
While they were changing, Morita sat in a chair in the right corner of the dressing room and then waited until they were done. Few minutes later, Hagu with her red polka dot dress and Yamada with her red strapless dress, went out and twirled a little. But then, Hagu tripped and fell. It seems that the dress she picked was too long for her, but in the other hand, Yamada looked great.
"Wow, Yamada you look great, but Hagu who are you supposed to be…the non-sexy looking kid in dots???" Morita yelled as he giggled a little.
"Shut up…Morita!" Hagu cried. "Ayu, I don't want to buy anymore…"
"It's okay Hagu…You still have some outfits to try on…I'm sure they'll fit you this time." Yamada said and then patted Hagu's back.
"You're right, Ayu…thank you!"
"No problem…"
"Yeah…Hagu, go and waste your time trying on those outfits…there's no way a kid like you can fit them perfectly." Morita teased.
"Ayu, Morita's teasing me…Can you do something?" Hagu said.
"It's okay Hagu…go and get change. I'll be waiting for you here."
"Okay…" Hagu said in a kid's tone.
"Morita, what did you just do? Do you want another hit at your back?" Yamada yelled at Morita.
"Ok…I'M SORRY…I'll try not to do it again."
"What! You'll try…"
"Ok fine, I won't do it again"
"Good."
"Ayu…" Hagu said in a sad tone like a kid that had its lollipop stolen. When she walks, she keeps on tripping because the outfit she was wearing was too long for her and her tank top was too big for her making her look like a sagged rug.
"Hagu is that you?" Yamada asked.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Morita laughed so loud that he was heard by the people in the store.
"Morita!!!" Yamada said with her dreadful eyes shown.
"Ok…I'll shut up."
Then Yamada went back to her cute normal state and faced Hagu.
"Oh my! Tell me Hagu, why don't you try the other outfit you picked."
"Ok but it's the last one I got."
"Don't worry. I'm sure it'll fit you this time."
"Ok."
She then went back to the fitting room, put on the clothes she picked and then went outside. And sadly, it was the same result as before.
"Ahh?! Say Hagu, let's just look for a new store where there are dresses that can perfectly fit you."
"Ok then." She replied in a silent tone and looked at Morita. She saw Morita covering his mouth. It seems that he wanted to laugh but he realizes that if he did, he'll be screwed by Yamada's powerful kick, but unfortunately he couln't hold up that he just laughed making Hagu cry. And then Morita got worried that Yamada might see Hagu's state and might screw him for sure. He then turned around and saw that Yamada was already paying the dress, the blue dress with the butterflies on, and didn't notice that she was crying.
"Ayu, what shall I do? I don't have anything to wear. And Morita's bullying me again."
"Darn that kid. I'll be screwed this time." Morita thought. But he wasn't screwed instead Yamada didn't mind. "Hmmm? I wonder why she didn't screw me this time?"
"I told you that you don't have to worry and besides, we''ll just go to another store and don't mind Morita…he's just jealous" Yamada comforted Hagu.
"Jealous of what?" Morita yelled.
"Shut up, Morita!" Yamada yelled and then kicked his back…Again.
"Hey!"
"Morita, if you don't shut up, I'll kick your back twice as hard just like when I hit a punching bag." Yamada looked at Morita with her 'monstrous' eyes.
"Fine. I'll shut up."
"I thought she didn't mind…I was starting to like her but then…Wait a minute, I didn't just thought of that did I?" he thought. "Or maybe, I really am starting to like her."
"Good. Well, I already bought a dress…I hope it fits me even though, I haven't tried it on, you see." Yamada said holding the bag where the dress was placed.
"Don't worry, Ayu…everything looks good on you!" said the jealous Hagu.
"Really! Ok then, let's go and buy you a dress." smiled Yamada and went outside the store with the others.
"Right!" she replied.
"But the problem is…where the heck can we buy a suited dress for Hagu?" asked Yamada.
"Well I know a store and it's the only store…" Morita said pointing in the children's department.
"WHAT! But I'm 22…that's unfair." said the complaining Hagu.
"Don't worry Hagu. I know we can find you a nice dress."
Like what Yamada told Hagu, they did find a suiting dress for Hagu, a pink dress with some matching laces.
They then immediately bought the dress and headed for the mall's foodcourt.
"Morita…" whispered Yamada.
"What is it?" said Morita and blushed.
"Can you---Can you hold the bags for us." Said Yamada as she gave the 5 large bags (4.5 kilos) she was holding.
(A/N: Well, it's sale! So...to the people out there if you want to go shopping, especially if it's sale...my advice, bring your whole family!)
"What! Are you joking? Well, I don't want to—" Morita complained.
"NO, I'm not joking. And besides, it's your own fault for following us." She yelled.
"Ah, Darn it. Why did I have to go with them…All I want is to…" Morita said in a silent tone looking at Yamada.
"Hey guys, stop that! Let's just eat, shall we." Hagu pointed at the food court. "Let's see…How about some takoyaki (octopus balls) and some gyoza (Japanese dumplings)…that shall be good."
"Right! Let's eat…" Morita said and lined in the ramen store.
They ate sukiyaki, takoyaki, and a lot of other Japanese foods. They were so hungry that they didn't left any leftovers. Next thing they did was to buy shoes. After some bargain hunting, Yamada found a pair of blue shoes, while Hagu found a nice pair of pink baby doll shoes. They walked and walked in the mall until Yamada saw a familiar face. It was the face of Mayama with a GIRL!!!!
'It can't be! He's in Hokkaido…If he was really here, he would tell us right' Yamada thought.
"Hey Yamada, what's wrong?" asked Morita.
"No-nothing…" Yamada whispered in a silent tone.
After those exhausting shopping, they headed home….
…………………………………………………………………………
"Hey Hagu, you're back already" greeted Takemoto.
"Ye-yeah…" said Hagu blushing.
And when Yamada saw this, she smiled and laughed silently.
"So Hagu, what did you do today?" asked Suji Hanamoto, Hagu's uncle.
"Oh nothing special, I just bought a nice dress and ate some delicious foods." she smiled.
"Yeah and she bought it in a really special store…she bought it in a children's department store" Morita laughed.
"Shut up, Morita!" Hagu yelled as she hit Morita's back
"Hey stop that…my back is not a punching bag" Morita yelled.
"Really now…" Yamada laughed.
They laughed and laughed…until their throats cracked. Hahahahaha…it's just nothing. Ok so, they laughed and laughed and really had a good time. They didn't realize that the clock was ticking and that the night became day.
…………………………………………………………………………
Ok, another chapter finished…Who could that guy be? And who was that girl? Well just find out soon.
And remember…R&R. Makoto no arigato.
In the next chapter, it will be their graduation and a special someone suddenly came back and it is not the friend of Yamada…it will be the special love of hers. And something bad's going to happen to Yamada making Morita save her and also, making her 'love' jealous.
