Chapter 1 tickets!

"Ayumuuuuu!" Ayumu kept walking slowly down the hall, not paying attention to the hyper blond girl following him and calling his name.

"Ayumu!!" She yelled again, having finally caught up with him. There was annoyance in her usually bubbly voice as she whined, "Why do you always ignore me? What if I had something really important to tell you?!"

"Then you'd tell me anyway," he replied, still not looking at her. Beside him, Hiyono suddenly stopped walking and started running in the other direction. Ayumu stopped and watched her run, thinking it a bit over-dramatic even for the hyper blonde. Did what I said really upset her that much? She stopped and took something out of a locker before running back towards him. He quickly turned around and started walking again, pretending he hadn't noticed her sudden disappearance. Soon she was walking beside him again.

Hiyono talked happily, saying, "I hope you're not hungry today because . . ." she paused for effect, "I just stole your lunch!" Ayumu whirled to face her, and angry reply dying on his lips as he read the giant sign she held out like a shield. Just kidding! ♥ The sign read. Hiyono slowly peeked out from behind her giant poster and grinned at him. "Yay, I got you to look at me!" She giggled. Ayumu just stared blankly. "Now that you're finally paying attention, I've got Big News!"

"Did something happen with the Blade Children?" Ayumu asked, neither his face nor his voice showing his interest. Hiyono stopped smiling at the mention of their new friends.

"No, I haven't heard anything from them since your battle with Kanone. Things have been quiet for nearly two months now." She paused, looking thoughtful. (Gasp! Hiyono can look thoughtful???!!) "Maybe this is normal for them. Maybe all the attacks started because they met you."

"Don't try and blame me!" Ayumu retorted. "It's not blame silly," Hiyono said, sticking her tongue out at him. "Besides, if it wasn't for the attacks, I never would have met you, and then I wouldn't have won these!" A pair of tickets flashed in front of Ayumu's face. For once, his logic failed him and he just stared at the blonde girl stupidly while she explained. "There was a riddle contest and the prize was two tickets to Hawaii. Your genius must have rubbed off on me, because I got them all right and won!"

Ayumu continued to stare, but it had changed from a dumb what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about stare to a why-should-I-care glare. Obviously, this difference was lost on poor, dumb Hiyono, and she sighed in exasperation. "You're supposed to be smart" she complained, "want me to explain it again?" Ayumu shook his head. "No, I understood that part. What I don't get is why you're telling me." " You want me to make you a goodbye dinner or something?" He added sarcastically.

At the mention of Ayumu's cooking, Hiyono did an impromptu ballet twirl while saying how very much she would love some of his food right now. It went on until the brown-haired boy asked again why he should care. "Well, duh! You're coming with me!" She replied. The poor boy looked up to heaven and asked the gods Why me??? He didn't realize he had been praying aloud until Hiyono started explaining again. "All my girl-friends are busy, parents have work, you're the only one left! And I already checked with Madoka and she said it was fine. So there!" she finished triumphantly. Silently Ayumu groaned; this spring break was going to be long and annoying.
