A/N: Hello! Smurf2005 here with another story! I just finished Imadoki! by Watase-san and I absolutely loved it! I wanted to write a song fic to Whyte Shadows You Are the One, but I didn't have the lyrics. Don't worry, I will find the lyrics and I will write one. I think it suits Tanpopo and Koki. I was rooting for them through the entire series. So, I am happy now! Really happy! I was so sad when she started to date Yoji, and then Erika….. I am not saying anymore on the subject. I am just happy Tanpopo and Koki are together. I didn't like Erika at all…… Anyways, this is a song fic about the first time Tanpopo came to Tokyo. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Imadoki! Watase-san does. Also, I do not own the song The Outside. Taylor Swift does.


The Outside

As I climbed off the plane in Tokyo, I didn't know what to expect. I decided to go to a school in Tokyo instead of back in my hometown of Hokkaido. After I got settled, I decided to go to my new school and look around. I met a boy planting a dandelion. I didn't learn his name, so I called him "Scoop". After a while, I found out that I wasn't accepted. I was called "Weed" because my name, Tanpopo, means dandelion. But I was determined to make some new friends.

I didn't know what I would find,

When I went looking for a reason, I know,

I didn't read between the lines,

And, baby, I've got nowhere to go,

I tried to take the road less traveled by,

But nothing seems to work the first few times,

Am I right?

I soon found out that Scoops name was really Koki Kugyo. But the Koki I was seeing, wasn't the Koki I saw planting the dandelion. He was really cold, but I was determined to be his friend. But, even though I was trying hard, I still felt like I was on the outside looking in.

So how can I ever try to be better?

Nobody ever lets me in,

I can still see you, this ain't the best view,

On the outside looking in,

I've been a lot of lonely places,

I've never been on the outside.

At the Entrance Ceremony, I yelled at Koki in front of the whole school. I was going to do all I could to be his friend. I wasn't going to give up. I was going to be his friend. So, I started up a Planting Committee. But Koki didn't seem interested. I had made it so we could become friends.

You saw me there, but never knew,

I would give it all up to be,

A part of this, a part of you,

And now it's all too late so you see,

You could've helped if you had wanted to,

But no one notices until it's too,

Late to do anything.

I still tried to become his friend. And I was still criticized. I still felt like an outsider, but I could handle it. He was still cold to me, but I was going to still try.

So how can I ever try to be better?

Nobody ever lets me in,

I can still see you, this ain't the best view,

On the outside looking in,

I've been a lot of lonely places,

I've never been on the outside.

I finally seceded in becoming his friend, I even gained some new friends, Tsukiko Saionji, Aoi "Flippy" Kyogoku, and Arisa Uchimura. They are all my best friends. Even Koki and I have fallen in love. It's nice to finally be accepted.


A/N: So, did you enjoy it? I tried to catch her feelings and put it in the story. I have felt like Tanpopo. I have even fallen in love. Those of you that have read my recent stories know all about Ryan and me. But, oh well. (sighs) Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it. I might be writing a few more song fics. The Whyte Shadow song I mentioned above is going to be used once I get the lyrics. As I have no internet at my house, I can't get on the internet anytime I want to, so I have to wait until I get to library. Anyways, R&R, constructive criticism welcome, no flames please.
