Chapter 2: Déjà vu
10 years later
"Three, two and a one!" Mrs. Aizawa announced as she stood up and applauded. "That was excellent girls." At the same time a sigh escaped from the four girls that were in the center of the metal benches they had helped to set up. Slowly, they started to pick up all of the equipment they had used for their routine.
"I still think they need to practice on their jumping. Especially Ichigo, she's a little floppy today." A voice said from one of the benches. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to face Ichigo whose' face was as red as her shoulder length hair.
"What?!" Ichigo screeched out. "I'm not floppy! I'm here working my butt off, while your drinking your tea. You should be practicing with us!" Giggling, everyone looked at Mint Aizawa, waiting to see what she might do. All that Mint did was smirk and lift her teacup towards Ichigo before placing it against her lips. Everyone stayed quiet after that. The only noise heard was from Ichigo grumbling as she dropped her ball and slowly started to make her way over to Mint. Sensing a complaint, Mint placed her teacup beside her and stood up, a smile forming on her pink lips. Lettuce, Zakuro and Pudding, the girls that were practicing with Ichigo just a moment ago, perked up. Ichigo and Mint were about to have a discussion and for nothing in the world were they planning on missing that. Though much to everyone's' dismay, Mrs. Aizawa appeared right in between them, just as she had always done for the last ten years.
"Now girls." Mrs. Aizawa warned them as she attempted to block the icy glare that Ichigo was trying to transmit to Mint. "We have very special guests coming to our show tomorrow and we don't want either of you injuring each other before that." Ichigo's chocolate brown eyes slowly formed back to their round state as she let out a deep sigh before turning around and walking away.
"I want no excuses this time Mint. Go and practice your routines." Ichigo heard Mrs. Aizawa say. Quickly, Ichigo turned back and stuck her tongue out at Mint before Mrs. Aizawa noticed.
Seeing Mint roll her eyes at Ichigo's idiotic response made Ichigo grab her equipment quickly and join her three companions on the other side of the big tent.
"You should have gotten Mint while you still had the chance!" Pudding ventilated when Ichigo neared them. She punched and sliced the air as if her victem was right in front of her, her brown eyes sparkling evilly at just the thought. Both Ichigo and Lettuce started to laugh at Puddings actions, but stopped when they heard Mrs. Aizawa's announcement.
"If any of you don't have at least half of your routines nailed by eight o' clock today, than nobody is going out tonight." Everyone except Pudding scattered as if their life depended on it. She did not need to fear of what Mrs. Aizawa had just said for most of the time she could not go with the three eighteen year olds and the purple haired nineteen year old. Pudding very well knew that an under aged fifteen year old like herself could not go dancing with legal teenagers.
"I'll just ask Tart to come with me to the candy shop." Pudding said out loud, as she lazily threw her hula-hoop in the air. At the very same time that the hula-hoop reached Puddings fingertips, Tart and his two older brothers came out from backstage. She waved at him and smiled when his older brother, Kish punched him lightly causing him to turn a crimson red.
"Girls, practice Routine 1 first." Mrs. Aizawa ordered. The three brothers went backstage once more and returned with an enormous folded trampoline, which Kish, Pie and Tart pulled to the center of the big top, its overused wheels squeaking along the way. She walked past Tart and smiled as she made her was to one of the three metal poles that were each on a diameter of the circular tent. Tart blushed and readjusted his two brown ponytails before helping his brothers in opening the trampoline. Once Pudding climbed up the ladder that was attached to the pole, she adjusted the white band wrapped around her hands. She clapped to make sure that she had enough powder. Without turning around she knew that Mint was doing the same thing behind her, preparing herself. Pudding grabbed the swing when she looked upfront and realized that Lettuce was already holding the other swing with Zakuro standing behind, before she looked to the left and saw Ichigo adjusting her bandages on the third pole. She took a deep breath as different color lights started to dance with the beginning music before she swung her body back as she waited for Lettuces' cue.
"I don't want to go anymore!" Ichigo whined as the five girls lazily made their way to the trailers that were on the outside of the tent. Even though they were in the way back, they could all hear the excited remarks of children and their parents as they viewed the circuses animals from afar.
"Well stay than, but my plans aren't being ruined because of you." Mint said as she tried to shut Ichigo's annoying whining. Obviously it didn't work.
"I'm just so tired!" Ichigo cried back. Every inch of her body was aching and she felt that in any minute she would break. Mint scuffed and fixed her messy black shoulder length hair. She hated wearing it in a ponytail but it was a requirement for her companions and her. Though they were done practicing, so she let it loose, everyone doing the same thing after her.
"Where are we going to go this time?" Pudding asked, breaking the silence. "I want to know, so if you guys are going dancing I can ask Tart to go with my somewhere." Everyone stopped dead in their tracks, raising their eyebrows as they grinned at Pudding.
"Pudding and Tart sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Ichigo started to sing out as all four girls circled Pudding, who was turning a strawberry red. The hyper fifteen year old, instantly regretted saying anything about Tart. She knew that her friends always teased her about her friendship with him. Yet she always wanted to tell them everything despite the remarks.
"Is there something going on between you and Tart, Pudding dear?" Mint eagerly asked. Pudding blushes and shook her head. Ichigo giggled and continued singing, obviously not believing what Pudding said.
"D-D-Don't you think that you're a little too young to have a relationship?" Lettuce stuttered out. Ichigo stopped singing and like everyone else, turned to stare at Lettuce. Lettuce fixed her glasses and lifted her pals, hoping that they would understand that she meant no harm.
"I think that Pudding can choose whomever she wishes. First loves always tend to be the most precious." Zakuro said as she closed her violet eyes and flipped her hair. Mint, Lettuce and Ichigo backed away, which to Pudding meant that they agreed with her. Than again, who wouldn't go against the altitudinous nineteen year old? She spoke rarely, but when she spoke it was best not to go against her.
"Dancing. We're definitively going dancing." Mint decided.
It was one of those rare times that Ichigo enjoyed having Kish around. The green haired eighteen year old was always bugging her, trying to steal kisses, so she preferred to ignore him as much as she could. But here in this very instant, Ichigo seemed to forget the fact the he had already kissed her a year after he cam. She twirled and let herself be swept away be the upbeat music as she danced with Mint, Zakuro and Kish. Eventually, her chocolate brown eyes wandered over the color blinding lights and the people around them. The place wasn't that crowded, so it didn't take Ichigo much time to find Lettuce and Pie. Both were at a nearby table, sitting across from each other and talking. She stopped dancing and made her way to their table. The instant that she arrived, both Lettuce and Pie stopped talking and turned a light shade of red. Ichigo smiled and grabbed her drink.
"Why are you two all red?" Ichigo asked before drinking. Lettuces' green eyes widened as she shook her super red face.
"N-Nothing, n-nothing at all." Lettuce nervously stuttered out. Ichigo stared at them for a moment before she shrugged.
"Ok." Ichigo said as she reached inside her jeans pocket and pulled out a red ribbon. She fixed the ribbon on one of her two ponytails that she knew was on the verge of ripping. She tightened it one last time before she turned. The instant that she turned, she bumped into another body, making the cup that they had in their hand splatter all over them.
"Look what you did! Watch where you're going next time." A deep voice angrily said from behind. Ichigo turned around, prepared to respond back. The instant that she locked eyes with a pair of electrifying blue ones, the strange feeling of déjà vu engulfed her.
She had seen those eyes before.
