Now! Without further Ado On with the Story ^^
Dear Diary,
Today is my first entry and I guess I just felt like writing how I felt in a book (lol), its just another day, same old everything, nothing ever changes, much. Today was another sucky day at work and school, although it never ceases to amaze me how perverted old men could be. ~sigh~ ever since the day Naru left it feels as if my whole life has come to a complete stand still, and for a while I truly believed time itself had stopped. But I can guarantee you that NO one knows that (or wiill they ever find out about that), and just like every other day I always put on my biggest smile so that no one worries about me, over the last two years it's become really (kind of) easy to smile like nothing was wrong.
But as time moved on I came to realize that I really needed another job and I started to work at this fast food restaurant where the pay is good but only because we have these skimpy uniforms that practical shows our ass and they tell us that if we want to keep our jobs to "shut up and bear it". It pays good not as good as Naru but good none the less. And I still keep in touch with everyone we all still talk on and day-to-day bases and they all decided (you see I put 'They all' and not 'We all', because I didn't really have a choice in the matter -_-!) that tomorrow we're going to go out to dinner when I get off work.
Anyway Yasu came by the restaurant today and one of those perverted old men tried to touch my legs (the same pervert that refuses to leave me alone) and when he did Yasu almost broke his arm (lol), I had to literary pull him off the man, the one thing I can say is that over the years Yasu has really become like a crazy over protective big brother, and Monk and Ayako have gotten even more protective since I got the job but I love them all none the less. In another month it will be officially three years since Naru and Lin left for England, Yes! I've counted so sue me (lol). So anyway oh… another interesting thing did happen earlier I saw a poster at my school saying something about a talent show or something and it said that anyone can participate so…. I …was thinking of asking Monk if he would help me out….
But then again I really don't want to be a bother to him and I'm sure he's a busy man with all his shows and stuff, I wonder if it's an unfair advantage to have 'Norio' help me out. But since it's my last year I really want to do it, I mean really what's the worst that can go wrong? ….. Well I could totally screw up….. That's one option ~sigh~ maybe I should reconsider my choice? I don't know what to do any more, oh well I'll just get a flyer then decide.
Well until the sun meets the night and I feel like writing (lol) again
Love is too much to ask for.
~Mai~
And with that she closed her new diary and went to sleep, dreaming of a life that she may never have.
~Next Day~
~After School, At Work~
"Hey Miss how about I take you out after you get off" an old man said as soon as Mai came to his table to take his order.
"Sir, ~sigh~ did you not understand my answer yesterday, I mean you and my brother did have that nice little Chat didn't you?" Mai Smiled at the man.
"….. Look Miss I can give you everything you have ever dreamed of, if you come with me "
"Trust me Sir what I want you don't have and you sure as Hell can't buy it, so why don't you do us both a huge favor and stop trying" Mai told the old man.
Not listening, he continued "Oh come on Mai, was it? That's is what your brother called you yesterday right? Anyway what is it that you want, I can buy anything, money is not an issue my dear, I can assure you of that."
"Hey Gramps, don't worry about what her name is. And for the record her answer has been No Every single time you've spoken to her, and if the message was NOT clear to you yesterday, then it will be my pleasure to refresh your memory and trust me this time I can guarantee you; you Won't forget it" Somebody said from behind Mai, while cracking their knuckles.
Turning around Mai smiled and gave the person a hug. "Monk what are you doing here?"
"Hey kiddo, I was in the area and since it's almost time for you to get off I decided to come pick you up." was all that he said while looking at the man. The old mans' face turned a sickly pale color, as he saw the murders' (that does that make sense right?) look that the 'Monk' was giving him that said 'try it again, I DARE you, and I WILL KILL you' that was all it took for the man to slammed his money down on the table and run out of the restaurant as if he was on fire. (Well…. that and remembering how his arm almost got broke yesterday ^^)
Turning around when the man ran past them Mai asked "um …. what just happened?"
"Nothing, Gramps probably had some where to go and had to leave in a hurry" Monk said as he shrugged his shoulders
"Now come on, it's time for you to get off, we're going to meet everyone, at "The Tsuki hi Café" (in English it says The Moon Light Café) Monk said patting her head.
Laughing at him Mai said "ok, ok I'm coming just hold your horses I know you're in a rush to see Ayako" turning five shades of red Monk was going to answer her but she had already ran to the back.
~Half way through Dinner~
Mai was going through her bag looking for her wallet (like Bou-san was going to let her pay for her half) when Yasu notice a flyer sticking out, grabbing it; it read:
Singing Talent Show, open to ALL students, everyone is welcome. You have the option of having ANYONE perform with you whether they attend the school or not, But you Must sign up by Friday the 5th.
Our show will take place on the 15th of next month.
Good luck!
"YASU give that back" Mai yelled trying to get the flyer away from him as he read it out loud then at the bottom it read:
"If you have any questions please contact the student counsel"
"So Mai, are you thinking about joining this talent show?" Bou-san asked
Blushing a light shade of red she answered "I was kind of thinking about it"
Everyone stared at Mai in awe
"BUT IT WAS JUST A THOUGHT" she yelled
The whole restaurant became quiet and stared at Mai because of her yelling.
Blushing a deep crimson red Mai tried her very best to shrink as far as she could in her chair as everyone turned and continued their conversation from before. No matter how many years passed no one and I mean NO ONE could match Mai when it came to blushing.
"Good job Mai" Monk said laughing.
"Leave me alone" Mai said pouting as she snatched the flyer out of Yasu's hands.
"I think you should do it" Ayako told her
"Yes, I think you'll do fine in it." John said
"Can you even sing Mai?" asked her best friend, and one time rival in love, from behind her kimono sleeve.
"Shut up Masako" Mai said playfully glaring at best friend.
Over the last two (almost three) years Masako and Mai have gotten really close mostly due to the fact that after Naru left Masako FINALLY realized her feeling for John, and she needed someone her age that she trusted to talk things over with. And they have been really close ever since, but that doesn't mean that they pass up ANY opportunity to mess with each other.
"That's right, Masako was out of town when we went to that karaoke place, that one time" Ayako said
"What! You went there without me" it was Masako's turn to pout.
"Yes, but that night Monk and Ayako both got so drunk that we all got kicked out" John answered his girlfriend.
"Yeah they said we were quote, unquote 'disturbing the peace' in that place" Monk said with his fingers in the air.
"Yeah how the hell were we disturbing anyone, when people who couldn't sing to save their lives wouldn't shut up? It's not our fault they suck but they all blamed us" Ayako finished, as they were all walking to the cars.
"I don't know what somebody over here is talking about; she acts like she was any better than those other poor souls." Monk snickered as he pointed towards his girlfriend.
~SMACK~
"What The Hell was that you stupid Monk"
"You heard me you tone deaf red head"
~SMACK, SMACK~
The group just kept walking as if they didn't know the two adults behind them fighting like idiots.
Saying Good night to each other John, Masako, and Yasu got into his (John's) car and drove off while Monk, Ayako, and Mai walked towards his (Monk's) car that was parked close to Mai's job.
~At Mai's Apartment~
Before Monk and Ayako drove off Mai stopped them remembering she forgot to ask Monk something
"Um, Monk…." She started
"Yeah kiddo"
"…." Mai opened her mouth only to close it again
"You ok Mai" Ayako asked getting concerned about their 'daughter'
"I'm ok… uh ….. Monk I was wondering if…."
"Yeah Mai, what's wrong" Monk said getting ready to get out of the car
"No….um…never mind… it was nothing" Mai said smiling as she got ready to turn around and walk into her complex.
"Mai" Monk called as he got out of his car and walked towards her "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong sweetie?" Ayako asked as she also got out of the car and walked towards her.
"It's nothing …. Please don't worry, it's silly really" Mai said waving it off
"Well we want to know what's so silly" they both told her
"…."
"Mai" they gave her a warning.
After Mai met the two of them she found out exactly what her friends always talked about when they said that at times their parents would talk as if they were the same person. And she now understood why her friends hated it.
"~sigh~ fine" she finally said
As they waited for her to continue she blurted out
"Iwashoping-Monkwouldhelpmewithmy-performancebecauseI-reallyreallywanttodothis"
(it wouldn't let me post it the way I wanted to, which sucks -_-!)
"What" they said lost.
"I mean it's my last year so I was thinking it could be fun and…. Oh I don't know I just thought it would be fun, but like I said before never mind" she continued.
"Wait, what did you ask Mai?"
"We couldn't understand you sweetie slow down a bit" Ayako said
"~sigh~ for real, but I don't wanna" Mai whined
"Mai" they said again
"No fair….." she said looking at them again
"Fine! I said that I was hoping Monk would help me with my performance because I really, really want to do this, Happy now!" she said slower this time while blushing a dark red color and pouting at the same time"
"ARGH!" Mai screamed. Surprised as Monk picked her up like she weighted nothing and swung her around while he told her he would love to, and that she made him so happy, and he could die with no regrets right at this moment.
Laughing at him, Ayako reminded him that if he died now, he couldn't help Mai with her performance.
Seeing as it was already late Monk and Ayako said that they would pick her up tomorrow after school because it was her day off, then they could discuss this further, so they walked her to her apartment door, even though she told them she was fine they insisted on taking her to the door.
Dear Diary,
I finally asked Monk to help me with my performance, ARGH! I can't believe I'm really doing this… now that it's really happening I'm getting really scared.
I mean I know everybody's going to be there to support me, but I don't know what kind of songs the others are singing….. Sigh I don't know anymore.
I guess I'll just talk to Bou-san tomorrow. Uh oh I just remembered I have to deal with Michiru and Keiko tomorrow. ~sigh~ that's going to be a lot of fun (-_-!).
Whatever, I'm confused now…..
Later,
~Mai~
-The Next Day at lunch-
(With Mai on the roof)
"Hey Mai are you joining that Talent Show?" asked Michiru as their lunch break was coming to an end in 20 minutes.
"Oh yeah, I was kind of thinking about joining so I asked Bou-san if he could help me out. But, now I'm not too sure about it. What about you?" She asked
"Well I was going to ask if you would like to join me so we could form a group you know me you and Keiko, and then I was going to ask my cousin if she could help us, but I always love a little competition he-he-he-he don't you?" laughed Michiru
"Oh No" (sweat drops)
"Well….. I still don't know if I'm joining, I still haven't decided yet." Mai told her.
"You Have To!" Michiru told her as she grabbed her shoulders and gave her a little shake
"This reminds me of when we were all back in elementary school, the three of us singing again"
"But…."
"No buts Mai, this is going to be fun, and you know it" as she let go of her shoulders.
"Yeah I guess you could be right, But….."
"No Buts Mai, Why Are You Running Away!" Michiru yelled
"Dammit Michiru Shut Up and listen for a minute!" Mai yelled at her
"….. What is it?" she pouted
"The first bell Rung 3 minutes ago, we're going be later for class" Mai said running away from her and down the stairs
"Mai, Why Didn't You Say Something When You Heard It!" Michiru yelled as she ran after Mai
"Cause you wouldn't shut up for more than a second ha-ha-ha-ha." Mai laughed at her
"Oh have you spoke to Keiko yet, I know she's been sick, but when I spoke to her last night she said that she should be here tomorrow" Michiru said as they both reached their class room, just as the final lunch bell rang, letting the students know that if their still in the hallway then they were late for class.
"You both barely bet the last bell"
"But we made it, right Taka-sensei" Mai joked with their teacher
Smiling at the both of them as they took their sits "Yes, I supposed your right Taniyama-san"
-After school-
"Bye Mai, I'm calling Keiko tonight to ask her about the show" Michiru Yelled as she walked away from Mai.
"Yeah, Yeah" Mai mumble as she walked over to Monks car.
"Hey kiddo how was school?"
"…..ok I guess, Michiru asked about the talent show, and if I wanted to sing with her and her cousin"
"Oh really… and what did you tell her?" Monk asked sounding a bit disappointed, and afraid that she might not want his help any more
Sensing the mood she quickly said "Oh, but I told her that I had already asked you if you would help me" Mai told Monk smiling as his mood lighted up.
"Really" he said smiling and looking at her as they stopped at a right light.
"Of course Monk, I did ask for your help after all, right? But then… she reminded me about when we use to sing back in elementary."
"…. Ok, but is that a good or a bad thing" Monk asked as they pulled up the drive way to his house.
"Oh Ayako's here, so just go knock on the door, I got some stuff I need to get from the back" he told her as he put the car in park.
