The first half of this chapter was written a while ago (right up to where they start talking about Yoichi), and there was originally stuff written before, and this would be part of the prologue XD Apologies for the late update, and please enjoy the chapter (:

I could describe the café in a few words, those words being pink, fluffy, and amazing. I was in a much better mood after getting some fresh air during the long walk there. The place was jam-packed, but the atmosphere made me feel quite comfortable. Momo looked like she was going to have a panic attack, though. I poked her in the shoulder. "You okay?" I asked, with a mixture of concern and amusement in my voice. "Y-yeah, I-I just don't like small places," she whispered. Two boys that looked around the same age as Momo appeared. "Everyone that signed up previously can come over here," called the first one, a blonde with red at the ends of his hair, pointing to his companion, who had brown hair and eyes that intrigued me, a purple-blue color. Momo grabbed my hand and ran to him as fast as she could. She wanted to get out of that cluster of girls as soon as possible.

"Hello," greeted the brunette, flashing us a smile. He was holding a list. Must be the names, I thought. "Could you tell me your names? Then we will be able to seat you." "Momo Matsui and Kuromatsu Yamada," Momo stated, much more comfortable in the less crowded area. "Okay," he began, checking off our names, "You can go right here." He gestured to a table close to him. We both took a seat.

"Ahhhh so much room!" Momo giggled as she stretched out her arms. I laughed too, and we began to look over what we were going to sample. "Chocolate pudding with coconut topping!" Momo squealed, pointing to the menu. "Raspberry filled tart with graham cracker crust," I exhaled, "sounds delicious. Mint ice cream with chocolate chips on top… oh it all sounds so good!" "Well, it says on the menu we can either get three dessert samples and a drink or one special sample, which comes with a drink," Momo glanced up at me as she spoke, "I don't know if I want the Ichigo Special or the chocolate pudding!" I looked for the Ichigo Special on the menu. It said Ichigo Special: Strawberry ice cream with our special strawberry sauce, a side of sweetened strawberries, and a strawberry shake. "That sure does look like a lot of strawberry," I commented, raising my eyebrow at Momo. "Well, I suppose you're right," Momo twiddled her thumbs. "Why don't you get the strawberry shake as a drink?" I pointed it out on her menu. "Oh that's a great idea Kuromatsu!" Momo exclaimed. By now, everyone was seated, and waiters were starting to take orders.

A boy with hair that looked like blue ink came over to us. "Hello," he gave us a pleasant smile, "Are you ready to order? "Um, yes," I started, " I'll get the Raspberry Tart sample, Mint Ice cream sample…" I quickly leafed through the menu, "the Sweetened Berry Tart sampler, and the Pomegranate smoothie. Please," I smiled back at him as I handed him my menu. "Okay, and you, miss?" he asked, looking at Momo. "I'll have the Strawberry shake, Chocolate Pudding sample with Coconut topping, Vanilla Cream Puff sampler and I'll have the Sweetened Berry Tart sampler also," she handed him her menu as she finished speaking. "I'll be right back with your drinks," he called from over his shoulder as he walked off.

All of a sudden, Momo started waving frantically. I was going to ask her what she was doing, but I saw that she was waving to Beibaku, one of her school friends. She waved backed shyly, then turned away quietly to her friends. The boy with the intriguing eyes came back and set two drinks on the table then rushed to another table to deliver a waiting group's drinks. I followed him with my eyes for a few seconds, then noticed I was staring, and quickly whipped my head around. I swirled my straw around, and took a sip.

"So…" I began, "how's Yoichi?" Momo's eyes instantly lit up at the sound of his name. "Ah he's good, I guess," she began, clasping her hands together, "My poor Chi-kun has a cough though!" Yoichi, also called chi-kun by his one-girl fan club sitting across from me, was Momo's main center of attention. She was madly in love, but he never seemed to notice her. "I barely get to see him because there's no school!"

"Well, doesn't school start in a week?" I pointed out.

"Yes! I'm so excited! And you're going into your second year of middle school, right?"

"Right. And you're going into you're first of high school."

"Ugh, I know! I'm such an old lady!" She laughed. I was about to speak again, but a new boy, this one with light blond hair and green eyes brought us our orders. "Here you are," he said speedily before rushing off to another table. We looked down at our chosen samples, and I almost drooled. Momo took a bite of her pudding, then took bigger and bigger spoonfuls, until it all disappeared. I ate my raspberry tart in one bite, followed by the berry tart. Momo made a sour face after trying her tart. "Oh no!" she cried. "I think they gave me the un-sweetened tart instead!" I chuckled, crumbles of the tart slightly falling from my mouth. She took the straw out of her smoothie and gulped the rest down. When she finished she wiped her mouth happily. "Very lady-like," I laughed. She shrugged, "Hey, it was sweet, and got rid of most of the bitter berry taste out of my mouth."

Then we both noticed that our frozen treats were melting, and ate them quickly, giving me a douse of brain-freeze. "Ow," I muttered quietly, holding my head with my hand. "You should probably get that to go," Momo stated, gesturing to my smoothie. "Um, waiter!" she called out to the blonde that had brought us our food. He walked over timidly. "Y-y-yes?" he asked, looking at his feet. "Could you put this in a portable glass please?" she asked, with hints of impatience in her voice. "O-o-f course miss," he said nervously, before taking my glass and heading towards the back of the café.

I looked around and noticed a girl in ragged clothing sneaking out the back door. Stealing food perhaps? I thought, Nah, I doubt it. She probably just doesn't want to be seen here. I laughed inwardly at my joke, then saw Momo waving her hands in front of me. "C'mon Matsu! Let's go! The waiter brought your smoothie!" She held up a plastic cup, intending to give it to me. I reached out my hand, took the drink, and stood up. Taking a sip of the smoothie, I looked around at the others in the café as we began to walk out. A few girls oddly stood out to me. One had pure green eyes, with no pupils at all. I bet she's blind. Another was a girl of about seventeen, and she looked like an average person, with extremely dark green hair that looked black from a distance. Images of Beibaku, Momo, and that girl I saw escaping from the back flickered through my mind

as well. Huh, wonder what that's all about.

A little short, but I think it cut off at a good spot. Please inform me if you spot any grammar errors (: I have the next chapter written, but I'd like to see if I get any reviews c: Chapter three coming soon to a screen near you! ((Haha that sounds oh-so cheesy))
