~Surprises and Treasures~

Chapter 1; Surprise!

"Digiko! Come and CLEAN up this mess!"
"I don't wanna-nyo..."
"You were eating chips over here yesterday! Quick, before a customer sees THIS!"
"Oh, alright-nyo. I did because of my career USADA, not you....nyo."
It was another of those typical work days at Gamers for Di Gi Charat, Usada Hikaru---or otherwise known as Rab~ien~Rose, and little Petit Charat. Digiko was dusting the shelves, Usada and Puchiko were behind the counter, getting the cashier ready.
Usada sighed. Digiko was in her annoying behavior again, and the pink-haired girl didn't think Digiko would start to change in any way in years.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Digiko, not to call me "Usada"! Try a new one, Rab~ien~Rose. Doesn't that sound nice?"
"Not really-nyo. I kinda think Rab~ien~Rose sounds like a frog, don't you think-nyo?~!" Digiko taunted.
"Would you two stop jabbering and start working-nyu? Customers will start to arrive in no time soon-nyu." Puchiko sighed heavily.
But both took no attention of little Puchiko.
"How dare you Digiko! Wait till I get my hands on you!!" Usada grabbed a broom from beside a counter and started chasing the the singing Digiko.
"My, my. Looks like you two are up and ready to work already, am I right?" Both girls stopped abruptly from their chase and looked at the Manager.
"Gomen nasai, Manager. i will get back to work immediately..." Usada glared at Digiko before returning to the counter.
"Sorry manager-nyo. Usada was distracting me-nyo." Digiko went back to her dusting, and quickly cleaned up the mess of chips Usada had mentioned before.
"Since you are quite busy at the moment Digiko-chan, I'll let you do your work. Rab~ien~Rose-san, I'd like you to fetch the mail, is that okay with you? Puchiko-chan will take care of the counter." The Manager spoke pleasantly, that Usada didn't feel guilty at all.
***
The hot wind almost burnt Usada's face, as she strolled out to the mailbox, just outside the Gamers store. Her bright pink hair shined from the light the hot sun in Akihabara provided as she kept walking to the small figure of the mailbox. The girl opened it, and peeked inside. It was so full that Usada had to scramble back before all of it crashed out of the tiny box. She was amazed at how the box could've hold all those layers of mail and letters all this time.
She started sorting out all the letters while sitting under a tree, that was planted beside Gamers, just so that The Manager wouldn't mistake her of bunking off her job.
"Digiko's, Puchiko's, Gamers...Manager...Puchiko...Manager, Gamers, Gamers, Magazine, Advertisments...Rab~ien~Rose...Adver---MINE?!" Usada's heart started beating. She had rarely received personal letters by mail before. Only some pranks, and maybe a few from Minagawa, but this one was different. The writing was printed, and never had the girl ever received this sort of letter. She gathered up all the other mail absently in one hand, while holding the one addressed to her in her other gently.
***
"Manager...I'm back!" Usada looked around, seeing no Manager around the shop.
"Usada-nyo..." Digiko wagged her finger, "Naughty...you were planning to bunk off, right, USADA-nyo?"
"...." Usada swallowed back her anger as she didn't want to waste her time with Digiko when she was dying to see her important letter.
"??? Usada's boring...nyo..." Digiko went back to her dusting.
Manager came out of the staffroom and saw Usada. "Rab~ien~Rose-san, hand me the letters please!" Usada walked over and handed him the letters except her own. The Manager's eyes were sharp and saw it immediately. "And what about that letter?" Usada wanted to scream at the Manager, saying "MANAGER!! STOP BOTHERING WITH MY PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!" but instead, she smiled and said, "I found this letter addressed to me, is it okay if I take a look at it privately?" The Manager nodded and went to talk to Digiko. Usada used her time wisely and slipped into the staffroom. She almost ripped open the envelope, and quickly unfolded the small letter inside:

"Usada-chan, since you have been very patient with us, we will award you with some treasures. How about that? But you won't get it that easily, you will have to do a treasure hunt. Inside the envelope, with this letter, is a also a map, we're sure it will guide you to the treasure. Ta-da! ~Mom and Dad~"

Usada looked at it in shock and disgust. She thought about last time, when she believed her parents when they sent a letter to say that they will meet her, but what happened in the end? They played a joke on her. How ridiculous were they, playing a prank on their daughter, and they actually hadn't met for a long time either. Usada tried to convince herself not to believe this, but a part in her urged her to try it out, so she decided to give it try. It wouldn't hurt, right? Right. The pink-haired girl looked inside the envelope, there, lay a brown-colored map. She picked it up and scanned it. It didn't seem quite easy to read but she'll have to give it a try. At that very moment, Digiko busted into the room, and Usada barely had time to shove her almost-ripped envelope, letter, and map into a pocket.
"What are you doing here, Digiko?" Usada asked, irritated.
"I just thought of coming in to scare you since I thought you were taking a nap-nyo. Too bad-nyo. So, what's up-nyo?!" Digiko replied, jumping up and down.
"I..I..---" Usada tried to think of something and she suddenly got an idea. "I was planning on going on a treasure hunt, since it was getting quite boring in Gamers. Don't spoil this to Pyocola though, okay?" She tried her best fake smile, wondering if Digiko will take it.
Usada was right, she did fall for it.
"NYOOO! I'm so glad, I WAS getting bored-nyo. Nothing much to do-nyo. So Usada, is it a real treasure?"
Usada decided to ignore how Digiko was calling her and gave a reply. "Well, this map is what my parents gave me. They didn't say what was it though. Only a treasure map."
"I can't wait-nyo!"
"Let's go tell the Manager and Puchiko about it then."
"Yeah-nyo!"
Usada couldn't help smile at Digiko's happiness. *If only I was happy like her...*

End of Chapter 1.
