Somewhat AU. Reflects off "The Notebook" with major twists. Obviously, there's currently a Rukia x Ichigo x Renji twist right now in the anime. Plus Rukia's lack of knowledge on...basically everything. Soooooooo, enjoy?


Ichigo muttered to himself as he watched his siblings and father crashed into each other with bumper cars.

"Oi, oi! Karin! Turn right! Right! No, that's left! Ow!", He heard Yuzu screamed when their father ran into his daughters' car. Sure, it was pretty pathetic, funny to others, but it didn't really annoy him as much as other people thought it did. He enjoyed being with his family. Sure, he didn't like and most of the time didn't participate in their wild games, but none the less, he enjoyed having them there.

"Ooooi! Ichigo!", Ichigo heard Mizuiro's voice. He turned around and watched as his schoolmates walked towards him. Everyone was there, Tatsuki, Inoue, Chad, etc, etc. There was a certain girl that caught his attention. He'd never seen her before, but she looked so friendly with the females.

"Ichigo!", his name was spoken again. He turned to Tatsuki. "Meet my good friend from America! We went to school together as kids before she moved." The stranger gave a nod. She was short, very...petite. Her hair was raven and slightly below her shoulders while her dark navy eyes shone like gems.

"Kuchiki Rukia.", the small girl spoke, Ichigo stared at her before turning his head. "Hn..."

"Ichigo! Don't be so rude!", Tatsuki voice was loud, "Excuse him, that's just Kurosaki Ichigo. He's some worthless freak. Just look at his hair." Ichigo glared at his friends. Tatsuki and his two male friends cracked up. Orihime had a confused look on her face and as for the stranger...She was smiling at his friends...Then she looked up at him, her smile fading leaving her with a blank look. Laughter continued to roar and the two continued to stare at each other.

"What?" Ichigo asked flatly.

"Your hair." , she replied.

"What about it?"

"It's freakishly freaky!" Tatsuki's voice rang again. More laughter. Even Orihime was giggling. Once again, the new girl kept a quiet.

"Okay! Okay! Sorry for that Ichigo. I just has to share those jokes with Rukia, right?", Tatsuki turned to Rukia with a wide grin. Rukia blink before giving a nervous laugh.

"Hey, Ichigo, lets check out some of the games!", Ichigo sighed and turned to his family. Still bumping against each other with joy. He smiled to himself before yelling out at them, "Eh, Pops! I'll be with my friends! If I don't come back later, just head home without me!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever! Kaaaaaaaarin! Yuuuuuuuuuuuuzuuuuu! Come to Daddy!", Isshin said loudly before chasing after his kids, then crashing his car into theirs. Causing them to jerk.

"Ooooooow! Dad!", Yuzu squealed while her father laughed. Ichigo shook his head, still smiling and walked up to his friends.

"Where t-", Ichigo got cut off by another loud squeal.

"OH MY GOOOOSH! Mr.Chappy Bunny jumbo plushie doll! I so want iiiiiiiit!", Rukia was sparkling with glee.

"Can you even throw a ball, Rukia?", Tatsuki said with a cocky smile.

"Shut up. Let me see you try."

"Fine, fine.", Tatsuki gave another cocky smile and handed the lady who was holding the booth two bucks. "Ladies and gents, watch!" Tatsuki took a baseball, leaned backwards, and threw it at the three jugs.

Miss.

Rukia gave coy smile.

"Wait, no! I messed up!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Hn..." Ichigo handed the lady two bucks and grabbed a baseball. He flung it at the three jugs.

Hit.

The people around them clapped and cheered.

"Would you like My.Chappy or Debbie, the Ducktress of Doom?"

"... Anything that doesn't sound that moronic?", he looked over at Rukia, who was staring at the rabbit. Ichigo sighed. I'll take bugs bunny." All his friends already ran to the next booth, Ichigo stayed to claim his prize and Rukia was still eyeing the rabbit.

"Here."

Rukia looked up at him.

"Huh?"

"Take it."

"But it's yours."

"I don't want it."

"Then why'd you play?"

"To make Tatsuki look bad.", Ichigo shrugged.

"Oh..Thanks..I guess." , Rukia took the rabbit from Ichigo, who promptly turned around to walk to his friends. Rukia looked down at the rabbit before holding it tightly in her arms.

"RUKIIIAAA!", Orihime's voice called her to join them.

"Yeah! Comin' !", Rukia ran after Ichigo to join her friends.


"Cotton..candy?", Rukia was confused. Everyone stared at her, shocked.

"You don't know what cotton candy is!", Chizuru asked, eyes wide.

"Well, I've never got the chance to see or taste it in the orphanage. Then when the Kuchiki's adopted me, I was forbidden to eat anything that wasn't healthy. Except a few candies and chocolate on holidays."

Every still looked at her, shocked.

"Well, try it then! Might wanna put some soy sauce on it though!"

"Orihime...soy sauce..? On cotton candy...?", Tatsuki asked, creeped out.

"Mmmhmm!"

"... Oooooooooohkaaaaay."

Rukia touched the pink cotton, "It's sticky."

"Yeah, it's uh.. candy." Tatsuki said, smiling. Rukia returned the smile and stuck her tongue out to the cotton. "Wow, that's sweet."

"Don't just lick it, stupid! Pop that thing in your mouth!", Rukia blinked, then did as she was told.

"It vanished!", Rukia was shocked at that. Her family had limited so many things out of her life, she was practically socially retarded.

"Yeah. It does that. ", Tatsuki laughed and smile.

"GUYS! LOOK!" Orihime pointed at the Ferris wheel. It was dark now and the lights on the Ferris wheel were on, making gorgeous designs.

"Oh wow! Let's go!", Tatsuki yelled before popping the last piece of cotton candy into her mouth and grabbed onto Orihime's and Rukia's arm, dragging them to the Ferris wheel.

Ichigo sighed again and walked with he friends after the ladies.

"Everyone, grab a partner!" Tatsuki yelled and turned towards Orihime.

"Oioi, Orihime! You adorable lil' creature, ride with me!" Chizuru squealed and grabbed onto Orihime's arm. Tatsuki made a face and sighed. "Alrighty then, Mizuiro, I'm coming with you."

"Y-y-you are?" Mizuiro stuttered, looking at the girl.

"I'll go with Chad then." Ishida said, pushing his glasses back up on his nose.

"Guess you're with me then.", Rukia said, before entering the seat with Ichigo
