Author: This fan-fiction inserts itself into the timeline after episode 23. This is after the discovery of Mew Aqua, but before the battle of Tokyo Tower.

Kyandi Coffman walked to school in her grey, sailor suit uniform. Her caramel brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and her crystal blue eyes sparkled with mischief. Today, she was going to walk right up to the captain of the kendo club and flirt with him. She would string him along for a day or two, and then laugh in his face if he asked her out. Why? It was fun, of course. Kyandi loved messing with guys. As a matter of fact, Kyandi Coffman loved pranks of any kind. However, nothing quite compared to being a flirtatious tease. She got her amusement; overconfident guys got a lesson in humility. It was a win-win situation. Everyone got something out of it.

Kyandi Coffman was so engrossed in her plans for today's entertainment that she didn't notice the ground beginning to rumble. When she did realize it, it was too late, and she was thrown forward onto the pavement. Or was it… through the pavement?

Here she was, in a strange blue world of bubbles. "What the heck?" Kyandi thought as she floated around in the bubbly oblivion. She looked down. "Wait, am I naked? Ah. I must have passed out, and this is a dream. It must be one of those dreams. Nice. I wonder who the lucky guy is."

Her question was answered when a peacock appeared, its tail beautifully displayed. "A… bird? I'll have to admit, that wasn't what I was expecting. This had better not be one of those dreams if my subconscious expects me to... you know… with a peacock. Oh! Peacock! I get it! You bad little subconscious, you." Kyandi laughed as the bird got nearer. She reached out her hands and grabbed it, and the peacock folded his tail gracefully behind him. She hugged the bird close to her chest and enjoyed the warm sensation that spread over her body. It definitely felt like one of those dreams.

Kyandi was surprised by how much she just enjoyed hugging the bird. She squeezed it tighter, and tighter still. The bird made no noise and no struggle, and this made Kyandi happy. She hugged the peacock close to her, and then suddenly, the bird vanished. She was shocked and hurt. She could still feel the presence of the warm little creature. It flowed out from her heart and through all of her veins, like liquid love. The only thing that seemed to matter now was her heartbeat, as it slowly echoed throughout this realm. Thump. Thump. Thump.

Kyandi Coffman woke up on the sidewalk. Picking herself up and dusting herself off, she shook her head. "That was the weirdest dream I've ever had, and that's saying something." As she bent to pick up her fallen school bag, she noticed a pink mark on her wrist. "Huh. I must have scraped my arm when I fell. Stupid earthquake. This is one thing that I really hate about Japan." Clutching the handle to her bag in her hand, Kyandi started to continue on her way to school.

Suddenly, she was assaulted from behind. Her assailants covered her eyes with their hands and giggled. "Happy anniversary!" a familiar voice cooed into her ear.

Kyandi smiled. "Awe, Miku-chan, you remembered!" Kyandi had now been living in Tokyo, Japan for an entire year. She had moved here from America exactly one year ago and started attending Okamura Junior High. It was then that she had met Mikuru Kaho and Yuki Yagakina. Kyandi wouldn't exactly call these girls friends, but they were better than nothing.

Mikuru and Yuki released Kyandi and came around to stand in front of her. Yuki smiled, with her blonde hair and green eyes shining in the sunlight. Mikuru wore a smirk that also glinted in her brown eyes, and her black hair was pulled up into two short pigtails.

"We got you something," Yuki grinned.

"Aw! Really, you guys?" Kyandi asked gleefully. "You didn't have to, you know."

"Oh, please," Mikuru rolled her eyes. "We aren't the type of people to let our friends go without on a very special day."

"Yeah?" Kyandi cast her blue eyes to the sidewalk, feeling guilty for a moment. She quickly got over it though, figuring that it wasn't her fault if these people called a person that they barely knew a "friend".

"Here!" Yuki handed her a tiny, green bag.

"Thanks," Kyandi replied with a smile. She pulled out the tissue paper and removed the gift from the gift bag. "No way! It's a 2500 yen iTunes card! Now I can finally buy Alan's story on the Pirates in Love otome app. Yes!" Kyandi did a fist pump. (1)

Yuki sweat-dropped. "Kyandi-chan, you are such a hentai otaku."

"Aw!" Mikuru cooed. "But she's our little hentai otaku, Yuki!" The oldest girl squeezed her brown eyes shut and hugged a blushing Kyandi.

"Okay!" Kyandi exclaimed. "We should get to school. We don't want to be late. Sensei will be angry."

"Aiyah!" Yuki exclaimed. "She's right. We need to go! Ikiyou!" (2)

Mikuru laughed, and then all three girls began to run as fast as they could. Kyandi was surprised to find that today she was outrunning the other two. She was usually the one that lagged behind, panting and gasping for breath. She smiled and laughed, her caramel colored hair streaming behind her in the breeze. "Come on, slowpokes! You know something is wrong with you today if I'm outrunning you."

"Please!" Mikuru panted. "We're letting you win because of what day it is."

"Keep telling yourself that," Kyandi giggled as she continued to run.

Later that day, during lunch, Kyandi tapped away on her iPhone to redeem the card that her friends had gotten her. Meanwhile, Mikuru and Yuki stared daggers at a redhead across the room.

"Momomiya Ichigo," Mikuru growled to no one in particular, "you are my eternal rival. You are not worthy of Aoyama Masaya. You are a horrible, ugly airhead."

Yuki nodded. "I don't understand why he even goes out with her. I am so much smarter than her. I'm even prettier than her! He should be with me."

Kyandi rolled her eyes. "Yuki, guys like it when girls act stupid. It makes them feel smart, even though they're not. It's why I only date otome characters." Both of the other girls just ignored Kyandi's statement.

"Oh no!" Mikuru sounded absolutely disgusted. "He's kissing her. Her! How dare he? He knows that I'm the perfect girl for him."

Kyandi finally looked up from her phone. She spared a glance toward the hated couple and snorted when Mikuru's definition of 'kissing' was Masaya blowing a single kiss to Ichigo, causing the redhead to blush."You guys want me to walk over to the kendo players and see if I can dish up some dirt?" Kyandi asked.

Yuki's face brightened considerably. "Would you, Kyandi-chan?" The blonde stared at her with pleading green eyes.

"Sure," Kyandi nodded, sliding her phone into her school bag. She stood up and smiled. "I wanted to go mess with Chobichi Yuta-san's head anyway."

Mikuru's eyes widened. "Chobichi Yuta-san? The captain of the kendo team?"

"Hai," Kyandi replied with a smirk. (3) "Watch and learn, ladies."

With that, Kyandi walked over to the group of kendo fighters, making sure that her shoes clicked and her hips swayed. She smiled sweetly and tapped Yuta Chobichi on the shoulder. "Yuta-kun," she said, purposefully using the less formal greeting.

Yuta was very shocked, and turned around, meeting Kyandi's blue eyes with his violet ones. "Coffman-san? Why have you addressed me so informally?"

Kyandi grinned and leaned over to whisper into his ear. "I think you know why, Yuta-kun."

Yuta turned his head toward her, trying to look her in the eye. But it didn't work, as she was too close to him. He ended up staring straight into her hair, and she turned her head to face him, causing their noses to almost touch. "D-Do I?" he stuttered.

"Mm," Kyandi answered with a raise of her eyebrows.

"A-Ano…" Yuta trailed off. (4)

Kyandi leaned back onto the table quite suddenly, pulling her face away from Yuta's, not noticing that the edge of her sleeves slid up as she did this. But someone else noticed.

Ichigo Momomiya stared at the mark on Kyandi Coffman's wrist. "Impossible. Shirogane-san said that there would only be five of us…"

Kyandi smirked as Yuta tried to close the space between them. It was natural for people to resist sudden change, so he was trying to resolve the sudden change in distance. "Coffman-san," he began, "would you maybe want to go ou-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Kyandi rolled off of the table and landed gracefully on her feet. "Sayonara, Chobichi-san." (5) She purposefully switched back to the formal address and walked away from the table, but she was stopped by the tug of a small, soft hand. She turned around and found herself face to face with Ichigo Momomiya. That was odd. She had been expecting Yuta.

"Konichiwa, Coffman Kyandi-san. Watashi wa Momomiya Ichigo-san," she greeted with a smile. (6)

"Okay…" Kyandi replied with a questioning look.

"I want to know, do you want to hang out after school? I know this great café that we could go to!" the redhead requested.

"So Ichigo is asking me out? This is weird. But I might as well accept. If I can come between her and Aoyama Masaya, Yuki and Miru-chan would be thrilled. I don't roll that way, but she doesn't have to know that. Gosh. I can't believe that Momomiya Ichigo is bisexual! Does her boyfriend know this?" Kyandi thought as she stared at Ichigo in disbelief.

"Sure," she replied, the stunned look still on her face. "So… where should we meet after school?"

"Meet me at the entrance to Inohara Park," Ichigo instructed.

"Okie dokie," Kyandi responded. "I'll see you then."

Heading back to Yuki and Mikuru, Kyandi shook her head. "You guys are never going to believe this."

"What? What happened?" they asked, leaning forward with sparkling eyes.

"Momomiya Ichigo asked me out," she answered.

"NANI?" Mikuru and Yuki exclaimed. (7)

Kyandi nodded. "We're meeting at Inohara Park later. The stuff I do for you guys and your hopeless delusions…"

"Oh, Kyandi-chan!" Yuki grinned. "You are a true friend, coming between the man of my dreams and the woman that he thinks he loves."

"Finally! Aoyama Masaya will be all mine!" Mikuru said with a devilish smile.

"Congratulations…" Kyandi said with sarcasm.

"Arigato!" Mikuru smiled sweetly. (8)
