Chapter 1: Kiratto Hirameita! Chotto Matte, Rio-kun?
(Ichika's P.O.V)
I'm at Kirapati today.
Today's a bit different from usual.
Everyone's busy doing something
Himari has her cram school, Aoi has band practice with the Wild Azur, Yukari's at a tea ceremony, Akira's visiting Miku at the hospital, and Ciel's at an interview.
So it's just me, Pekorin, Chourou, and my crystal animal.
Not much fun huh?
I was at the counter, tossing an apple up and down in my hand as if it were a ball, waiting for something to happen when Pekorin came flying with a recipe book in her paws.
"peko~! Ichika, let's bake something today~peko! It's sure to lift up your spirit and create kira- kiraru~peko!" she cried
I took the recipe book "hey, isn't this Himari's?" I asked her, taking a look at the book.
Pekorin's ears turned pink.
"yes peko! Himari left them with me~peko!" she replied.
I smiled.
I then began flipping through Himari's recipe book as Pekorin watched.
"what are we baking today~peko?" she asked.
"let's see let's see..." I began, looking at each recipe.
I flipped to a page with a picture of a waffle in it.
"waffle..." I whispered.
"peko?" Pekorin cocked her head.
My eyes sparkled as an image of a bunny came into my mind.
"kiratto hirameita!" I cried.
But suddenly, the doors to Kirapati opened.
I quickly put away the book and tried to maintain a calm and composed manner, but I was really bad at it.
I wanted to say "welcome to Kirapati! What can I get for you today?" but instead, what came out was:
"w-w-welcome to Kirapati! W-w-what can I get for you t-today?" I stammered.
Worst moment ever.
But when I saw who it was that came in, the feelings of embarrassment disappeared.
Because, stepping in through the doors was...
"Rio-kun!"
(Rio's POV)
lchika stammered when I came in, I wonder what she was doing before I came in.
Why is she alone though?
Pekorin floated out from behind the counter.
"Pikario~peko!" she cried happily
"yo. What brings you here alone today, Ichika?" I asked, just giving Pekorin a smile.
"l'm not alone, Chourou, Pekorin and my crystal animal are here with me." she replied, and then I noticed her crystal animal peeping from behind the cashier.
"oh, I see, but where's Himari and the rest?" I asked.
"Himari has cram school, Aoi band practice, Yukari's attending a tea ceremony, and Akira's visiting Miku-chan. You already know what Ciel's doing." she replied.
"figures everyone's busy. So, what are you baking today? I heard you say you had a flash as I ascended the steps." I said, and Pekorin handed me a recipe book.
"waffle peko!" she cried.
"yeah, I was about to start with getting the ingredients prepped when you came in..." Ichika said shyly.
"oh, I'm sorry, am I a bother?" I asked, worried.
"oh no, not at all! In fact, why don't we make it together?" she asked in reply to my question.
"what?" I asked, confused.
"Pikario -jabba, why don't you help our dear little Ichika make some waffles-jabba? After all, it's your star sweet-jabba." Chourou suggested, coming out from the kitchen.
I blushed at the mention of it being my star sweet.
Suddenly, Ichika handed me my patisserie uniform.
"well then, let's get started!" she said with a smile.
I stared at her, she had her eyes closed and lips curved into a smile.
I smiled myself and took my uniform.
"Let's get this over with."
A/N: yeah this is sort of short, but hopefully the next one will be longer. And this story will be short, so maybe until chapter 3? I'm not sure, await the next chapter!
