A/N: Hello everyone! I've done like, three stories, but people didn't generate intrest in them, so I took them off. Now I've finally decided to put this story up.

Genkai-Chan, is you're reading this story...heh, I know you'll remember it. Anyways, this is a collection of 10 one shots (though knowing me, each one shot will be like, 20,00 words..) and then one final chapter that ties them all in together. If you're confused, read the summaries below, and you'll get it, hopefully. Hehe.

Yes, each of these stories has one Cannon Chracter, and one, sometimes two, OC's. I promise I'll make the personalities and attributes of the OC's clear, so that no one is confused. All of these OC's are actually people who I know at school, most of them are in my Anime club, but I've changed the names, just cause I wanted to.

If any of you are reading this and think that one of these chracters is you, feel free to message me or leave a review, and I'll gladly tell you.

The idea behind this is a Festival, and how 23 people, all of them strangers, find happiness, friendship, love, toilet paper, cotton candy, and so much more. This was actually supposed to be a present for Genkai-Chan, but I never ended up finishing it, because I had so much other stuff to do, but I've decided now's a good time as any to finish.

I'll try to update every week, my hope is to put up a chapter every sunday night, and I'll try to, but since I'm only 16, and I still go to school, that might be difficult sometimes, but I promise you'll never have to wait longer than two weeks for a chapter, and like I said, these chapters are going to be LONG, tellign an entire story per chapter. Go read the summaries. lol

Oh, and one last thing. I need reviews. I'm going to finish this anyways, for Genaki-Chan, but gettign reviews and seeing that people actually like this idea will make me write faster.

Keep in mind, in this story, all the charcters are human. There is a Shounen Ai in Chapter 7, but other than that, it may be hinted at in passing.

This Prologue is basically all the summaries/pairings, and then a VERY small part of the first chapter, just to show you my writing style, and that this will be worth reading. anyways... ON WITH THE STORY!

Dislcaimer: I'm only putting this in the first chapter! I do not own YYH, and although I may do a TINY bit of tweaking for the non-cannon chracters (like changing a favorite color or something) They do not belong to me, because they're real people. So don't sue me. I'm a 16 year old with no job. All you'd get is $5 and piece of gum.

Chapter 1: Ariko/Yusuke

If anyone ever tells you they know everything, then they're lying. It takes a lot more than books to learn, it takes the knowledge of many other people. Two people are about to learn this the hard way…

"Ariko! Are you coming or not?" She could barely hear her friends…she was too busy watching the new boy. He'd only been here three days, and yet he had already earned himself the title of the school's number one punk. Ariko found that quite amusing, after all, things were a lot more interesting with Yusuke around. "Ariko! Come on! What are you doing standing there anyways?" This time, she reacted, turning to face the friend that had spoken.

"Sorry, I just zoned out" She gave her friends a big smile. "So, did you study for that Chemistry test?" She followed her friend away from the quad, forgeting, at least for a moment, about the greasy haired boy.
