AN: I wanted to do something for the Valentines, even if is too early for me. But hey, February's still the month of Valentines xD (ahem) anyway… this is no game or anime fan fiction. It is a creative writing… but a fan fiction based on my characters along with the characters of my friends (mostly in deviantart). But don't worry, this is just another short story… and expect for short chapters, too. Very well, since it's time for me to unleash my imagination for this story, here you go~! BZOOM!

Chapter 1

Momoko woke up for the start of a new day. She hopped out of her bed and scratched the side of her tummy and her frizzy black hair. She reached for her glasses as she put them on. Xamie, her cat, ran off her basket and scampered outside. She found the empty beds of Chloe, Mirouni, and Amy. Only Thea remained asleep on her bed, using the thick and colourful blanket to cover almost her head.

As Momoko stepped out of the room wearing her pair of purple bunny slippers with their ears sticking out, a girl with light blue hair with small pigtails greeted her a "Good morning, Momo-chan~!" The girl greeted her back and sat on a chair at the dining table.

"What's for breakfast?" she asked.

"Ramen~" Mirouni replied cheerfully. "We'll have sushi rolls for dessert,"

Momoko sighed. "How smart…"

"Momo-chi~" Chloe called. "You're awake!"

"Ooh, Momoko-chan!" Amy poked her head on the wall, her pink curled pigtails dangling and swaying slowly. "You know what today is,"

"Huh?" Momoko raised her eyebrow. Mirouni sighed in exasperation and snatched the calendar from the wall. She flashed it on her face and pointed her forefinger on the featured month where Momoko's eyes followed. Number fourteen; the date has heart doodles scribbled on it with a cursive handwriting in red ink: Valentine's Day.

"HELLO? Three days left before this event!" Mirouni cried. She placed her hands on her hips. "You didn't forget, did you?"

Momoko flashed a nervous grin. "W-why, o-of course I didn't forget..!" she sweat-dropped (anime style) and rubbed the back of her head. She then pressed the tip of her forefingers together. "It's just that… I wasn't prepared…"

"Exactly," Mirouni snapped. "We have three days – three whole days! – before Valentine's and we are preparing,"

"Uhh…"

"C'mon, Momo-chi, we know you like Valentine's…" Chloe begged.

"…and you get that special someone to be your valentine," Amy winked at her.

Momoko's cheeks turned red and gulped. "B-but…"

"No buts!" Mirouni cut her off sharply. "Now let's get ourselves started~"

"That doesn't mean we're going to host a party… just like that…" Momoko said.

"Silly, we won't…" Amy sighed then lowers her voice. "Actually, we feel the same as you are… we are also not prepared…" Momoko nodded in understanding.

"I won't be expecting too much…" she said. Like who cares about it anyways?

The moment the girls – except Thea, still fast asleep – have started eating their breakfast, Zefari walked past the dining room when he stepped on the calendar Mirouni had forgotten that she'd dropped it. He picked it up and (oh please) saw the number fourteen of today's date marked in heart doodles and the words Valentine's Day (courtesy of Amy). Zefari gulped and stared at Chloe, eating with the girls, when his cheeks have turned red.

Three days before Valentine's..? He thought. Oh crap, I haven't got any gift for Chloe..!

He threw the calendar behind him and locked himself inside the boys' room where Ryuu, Momoko's seventeen-year-old brother, sat cross-legged on his bed reading one of the boring girl magazines he stole from Momoko's storage boxes. He's not really into those kinds of magazines. He just wanted to read all about the habits of a girl… and how to deal with them equally.

"Ei, what's up?" he asked.

If you look up, you'll see the ceiling… the sky if you're outside… Zefari's playful side replied inside his head.

What's up? What's UP? Chyea, why do YOU ask, anyway? His annoying side replied.

"Hell," he mouthed, causing the orange-haired boy to raise his eyebrow at him.

"What do you mean by that?" Ryuu asked.

"I forgot… it's three days before…" Zefari gulped. "…VALENTINE'S!" he cried. "But I haven't asked Chloe out!"

"Naah, I already have mine," Ryuu said calmly.

The desperate Zefari blinked in surprise. "You do? Well, who is it?" he asked in curiosity.

"You know who she is," the redhead said in secrecy.

"Aww… I wish I could be cool and confident like you, Ryuu-sama…" Zefari sighed. "There's gotta be a way I could get Chloe to be my – OOF!" The door – of course, unlocked by a key – slammed open as it hit him hard against the wall. The door swung slowly as Zefari was pinned on the wall with big wall cracks. Amy appeared on the doorstep blazing into flames. Ryuu almost freaked out from her combusted appearance.

"Where did Ash go off to?" she asked. She balled up her fists. "Wait til I get my hands on that – "

"Hey, Ryuu-sama, Amy-cha – "Ash froze on his tracks the moment he saw the pink-haired girl standing with her back turned on him. Amy turned abruptly toward him.

"Please tell me you didn't eat all the chocolates Mirouni-chan bought for me," she said calmly, controlling her anger (and to prevent from combusting into a flame a while ago).

"Hey, I didn't eat all of them… I just had quick bites and – "

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EAT THEM WHEN THEY'RE ALL RESERVED FOR VALENTINE'S?"

Ash stared at her in shock. "V-v-valentine's..?"

"Eh? How could you forget?" Amy pouted, folding her arms on her chest. "We have three days before this annual event starts,"

Zefari fell headfirst on the floor, unconscious.

Amy flicked her hair and walked out of the room. "You better prepare yourselves, guys; everyone is invited for this event, except it is not a party,"

"Whew…" Ash sighed in relief. "But who am I supposed to ask out? Seriously, I can't ask Thea out… she'll just put a whammy on me,"

"We both have the same situation, Ash-sama," Zefari stood up with a band air patch on his forehead. "I probably should prepare myself asking Chloe out… if she accepts me," He turns his gaze at Ryuu. "Unlike Ryuu-kun, he already has a girl with him,"

"Obvious…" Ash replied. "It's probably Dark's sister,"

"Aww… I wish we could be confident like him,"

"That's the tenth time you said that, Zefari…"

Let's just pretend nothing happened.

Momoko went back inside the girls' room as headed towards her bed where she finds a bouquet of beautiful flowers sitting on her colourful pillows. She sat on her bed and held the beautiful bouquet on her arms and smelled its pure fragrance. She smiled and set the flowers aside. She found a white envelope with a red heart sticker sealing it close. She carefully undid the sticker to avoid tearing the paper as the lid opened. She pulled out a small specialty paper card inside and read a short phrase: I have no end of desiring you…

Momoko blushed and reread the phrase. She bit her lip and kept the beautiful valentine card inside her small chest box. She placed the bouquet of flowers in a vase and exposed them under the sunlight for them to remain their fresh and lovely fragrance.

"Ooh~ a secret admirer?" said a voice behind her.

Momoko turned around, her long dark hair flowing behind her back. "Oh, Miyako-san~ you're awake,"

"Mirouni-chan woke me up from my beauty rest…" Miyako yawned, her long blonde hair swaying through the soft breeze around them. "I've heard about the three-day countdown before Valentine's…"

"So… who're you going with?"

Miyako placed her hands behind her back and blushed. "H-he asked me out yesterday…"

Momoko clamped her hand on her mouth. "Oh my… gosh… is it… nii-san?"

The blonde-haired girl nodded her cheeks completely red. "Y-yeah… I never knew Ryuu-kun is that… confident unlike the others,"

"He really knows how to hide his true feelings until he expresses them," Momoko set her gaze at the bouquet of flowers under the sunlight through the window. "Guess you already know who my secret admirer is,"

Miyako giggled. "Of course~ you know who he is,"

The dark-haired girl blushed and smiled. "Dark-kun…" she murmured under her breath. She placed her forefinger on her lips when she mentioned her secret love's name.

"Where's the bowl?" Mirouni asked.

"Here~" Chloe placed a medium-sized bowl in between them with a spoon. Mirouni placed large bags of flour and sugar. She also took out five boxes of cream and a large can of fruit cocktail.

"Do you have those flavour pens?" she asked.

"Pens..? Ooh!" Chloe brought out a box of paste containers containing chocolate, strawberry and cream icings inside. They are used when doing letterings on cakes. Mirouni took out a bowl of chocolate chips for them to mix them with the cream to make a chocolate sauce. "Are we gonna make a cake~?"

"Precisely," Mirouni nodded. "We have the ingredients ready, so let's get started!"
