Just One Single Catch

Chapter 1: Judge Ichigo Amano

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I hear my older sister scream. Worried about her, I immediately fly out of my bedroom. I know something happened….or is going to happen.

I got to the last flight of the stairs and saw her sprawled at the bottom of the staircase grasping a letter. I continued down the steps and sighed, rolling my eyes. This is just too predictable. She's always been clumsy. But that's one of the things I love about my sister. She's clumsy, but unstoppable. A little stubborn, but nice and beautiful. "What happened this time Ichigo?" I said actually curious about what happened this time. She never stops to amuse me…even though she is my OLDER sister.

Her eyes fluttered open. Even though she falls down the stairs, she never seems hurt. "EEEEP!" she shrieked. "I got invited…" Ichigo paused to take a deep breath. "I got invited to be one of the teenage judges for a sweets making competition! Called the Crystal Sweets Competition!" Oh my gawd. I am so excited for her! She's has taste buds that no one else has. Even though she has never tried cooking I believe that if she worked hard then she could be unstoppable, maybe even get accepted into St. Marie Academy, the well-known academy for sweet makers. Maybe even win the final point of the Cake Grand Prix. I knew that this is her destined talent: tasting or baking. I jumped up and down along with my sister shrieking in happiness and that's when our overprotective father and our completely opposite mother came in.

"What happened." Our mother stated.

"Ichigo is one of the judges for this competition called Crystal Sweets!" I replied cheerfully, still jumping around.

"Natsume calm down." She paused glancing at still cheerful Ichigo. Actually she's never not cheerful. The only time you can see her calm is when she's sleeping. "Well, where is the competition?"

"Near Japan's branch of St. Marie Academy!" Ichigo exclaimed cheerfully.

"WHAT!? I WILL NOT LET YOU!" Our father exclaimed.

Ichigo sighed, "It's fine you guys can tag along and watch the match."

"Oh okay." Our overprotective father muttered. "When is it?"

"Tomorrow."

The Next Day

Ichigo's POV

I quickly packed up my bag and ran down the stairs. "EEEP!" being so clumsy I fell down the stairs…as always. My sister, Natsume sighed. "Are you okay sis?"

"Yeah I'm fine! ALLONSY (let's go)!" my sister exclaimed as she sprinted to the car where our mother and father we already waiting. The two hour trip to the location I sat quietly suddenly getting nervous while Natsume was singing along to the radio. The car drove through a big fancy gate and before my eyes I could see a mansion-like building. On the front steps of the building were the contestants. There was a group of three who stood out to me. There was a blonde boy who was shorter than the other two. Another held a candy rose and had green hair. The last one was a little more Japanese styled with glasses and long hair. The called pulled up to where the contestants were meeting. In front of then stood one of the judges. Henri Lucas. He was introducing all the judges to the groups and explaining the rules. When I stepped out of our car the group of boys who I noticed at first turned and stared. Why would the stare? I'm just a normal girl with big brown eyes and long hair and extraordinary taste buds.

"And here's the final judge. The only teen judge. She's 14 years old and has extraordinary taste-buds." Henri Lucas introduced me. "Meet Ichigo Amano." The group of boys who stared at me looked away. The one with green hair blushed greatly. The blonde one who seemed a little bit like the devil….you could see a splash of pink arising on his cheeks, but then it disappeared immediately. The blushes returned when they noticed I was watching them. I am guessing there around a year older than me.

This is going to be interesting.

That's Chapter 1.

Sorry if it's a bit scurried, but I want to get things going so the first chapter isn't so boring.

What do you think?

Please Review.

I do not own Yumeiro Patissiere; I wish I did.

Every chapter I'm going to recommend a song.

The song of the chapter is:
