What the Hell Happened Here?

"Okay, what did you guys do?" Marisa Kirisame demanded.

"Not so loud!" Reimu Hakurei replied. "Anyway, this isn't my fault. Your sweet Alice-chan got drunk and disorderly and started picking fights; Sanae finally got fed up when she insulted me and took her on. They're both sleeping now. What are you doing here?"

"My party…kinda sucked. It sounds like it was still better than this one."

"Eh, it was okay until Alice-chan started getting belligerent."

"Let me guess: this all goes back to 'us', right?"

"No, really, ya think? I'm surprised she's still marrying you with all the venom she's carrying. You two are a perfect match, though."

"I get the feeling you're mad at me."

"No shit, Marisa-san."

Marisa was stunned at the formal way she had been addressed. Normally, to insult someone it was best to omit an honorific, but Reimu and Marisa had been on yobisute terms for years—a fact that had caused Alice some insecurity on occasion, though Marisa was quick to point out that while she and Reimu didn't use honorifics with each other, they also didn't use cutesy pet names like she did with Arinya. This satisfied Alice. "Listen, I know what I did was wrong, but I…okay, I can't justify it. I'm sorry."

"You just…you've caused so many problems." Reimu sighed. "Even though things usually tend to work out in the end…I asked her to marry me, you know. Nae-chan, that is. I was going to wait until after you and Alice-chan had been married and gone off on your honeymoon, but even though she defended me, Sanae was pretty riled up about Alice's comments. She was afraid that I'd never really gotten over you."

Marisa took Reimu's hand. "Have you?"

Reimu quickly pulled away. "…I think so, but…it was tough, dealing with you betraying me like that. I should have seen it coming; I knew you had a crush on Alice-chan, and even teased you about it. I shouldn't have been surprised that you two got together. And…I'm definitely happy now, so I shouldn't…"

"…still have feelings for me?"

"…you were my first girlfriend. There's always going to be a special place for you in my heart, even though we weren't right for each other. Marisa-chan…"

"…So, did she say yes?"

"She didn't say no."

"That's great! …I think. Wait, if she said yes, you would have just said so…she said she needed to think it over, didn't she?"

Reimu shook her head. "Actually, she just passed out. I think she was shocked that I'd asked, and she was probably tired out from her fight with Alice-chan, anyway."

Marisa put an arm around her friend's back. "I'm sure she'll say yes. You two are perfect for each other."

Reimu didn't pull away, resting her head on Marisa's shoulder. "Yeah…don't say anything about this, okay? Even if I am kind of angry at the two of you right now, I still wouldn't want to upstage your big day."

Marisa giggled. "Of course not. I'll pretend to act surprised when you announce your engagement."

"You're certainly optimistic. She hasn't even accepted my proposal yet." Suddenly, things grew a lot noisier outside. Reimu ran to investigate. "What the… you brought your entire party here? Marisa-san, you're unbelievable!"

CCX: I thought about changing the honorific used when I realized that Reimu wasn't that angry at Marisa, but I decided that she was still angry enough.
