Hi MINA! To make this short, don't hate us...please...

Ring Ring

Rosette was getting impatient already.

Ring Ring

Why isn't he picking up?

Ring Ring

PICK UP DAMMINT!

"Hello?" asked a voice on the other line.

"JOSHUA DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO MY BRAIN?!" Rosette yelled into her cell phone.

"No, if I did, you'd be quieter," Joshua said, hoping Rosette wouldn't appear behind him to kill him. "Why?"

"Because your talking with your friends got me to count up to ten in Japanese!" she said.

"That's nothing. Ichi, Ni, San-"

"I know! Because of you I know!" she interrupted.

"Isn't that a good thing then?" he asked.

"No. I gotta go, Mary's calling me, bye."

"Bye Rosette!"

Rosette hung up and walked over to where Mary was. "You ready?" Mary asked. Rosette nodded. "Who did you call, if you want to tell me."

Rosette smiled. "I called my brother to complain how his obsession with anime got me to count to ten."

Mary smiled — 'Will there ever be a moment where you stop smiling?!' — "My boyfriend knows a little bit of anime. He's half-Japanese too."

"Really?" That was the first time Rosette actually heard of a boyfriend from Mary in the day she's been with her. "Is he nice? Good-looking? Does he speak Japanese? Can he sing in Japanese?" She clamped her mouth shut. She sounded like a combination of a normal girl and Joshua.

"The answer to all of them is yes. He can sing really good too and he also plays the guitar. He wrote me a song for our first anniversary," Mary said, blushing a little. "He's a bit on the short side though." Rosette stared at Mary. "What is it?"

"It must be nice to have a boyfriend. I haven't had a boyfriend yet, not even my first kiss," Rosette pouted. "I kinda want one too. Although, I don't think Joshua would like it, and he would probably speak to him in Japanese to make him seem stupid."

Mary laughed. "Older and younger brothers are protective huh?"

Rosette's eyebrow lifted. "Are you a single child?"

Mary nodded. "My parents died when I was young, they never had a chance to have another child." She changed the subject. "You want to meet him?"

"Who?" Rosette asked, losing track of what they were talking about.

Mary giggled. "My boyfriend."

Rosette's face brightened up. "Really, can I? I mean, it's okay with him right?"

Mary nodded. "He won't mind. Besides, he told me to introduce any new friends I make. You're one, right?"

Rosette smiled and nodded. "I'd rather meet my friend's boyfriend instead of going to a diner for lunch," Rosette said smiling. Then she remembered something. "Your boyfriend goes to this school right?" Mary nodded. "Then how will we get to the boy's dormitory."

Mary smiled. "That's where a cell phone comes in, silly. Unless..." she looked at Rosette. "Unless you want to sneak into the boy's dormitory."

Rosette shook her head, blushing some. "N-no, I'm in enough trouble with Miss Kate, I don't want to seem like a pervert. Especially since it's your boyfriend."

Mary smiled. "Yeah. Anyway I'll call him, until then you can do whatever you want."

Rosette nodded and went toward the girl's dormitory. She could take a nap. She turned around and saw a vending machine on her way back. Or, she could take a couple of snacks and then sleep. Yeah, that sounded better.

XXXXXXX

'Stupid machine,' Rosette thought. 'Ripping me off like that.'

Rosette was heading back to the girl's dormitory, walking away from a now crumpled vending machine.

Joshua hung up. Was he really obsessed with anime like that? Did he really need to find some normal friends? Before Joshua's mind could start processing and thinking for once, his roommate interrupted.

"Hey Joshua, who called?" his roommate asked. "They sounded pretty pissed off. I could hear them yelling from out the window, if that was them..."

Joshua sweat-dropped. That does sound like Rosette... "It was my sister. I accidentally helped her get her grade raised for a week, unintentionally," he said. (A/N: How does he know that? Rosette never mentioned it on the phone. You know it's a bad thing when the author doesn't know...)

"Oh..." Joshua's roommate said quietly. Joshua really liked his roommate. Sure, he was on the short side, but he was fun too. Joshua liked how he could teach him stuff in Japanese that his stupid game didn't make clear. Stupid Haruka... make sure you make clear what the difference is if you forget to use the right brush stroke. Also, most guys say "boku" and not "watashi".

Joshua's roommate also didn't look very normal. Not because of his height, but because his hair was naturally purple and long and his eyes were red. His name was odd, too. Chrono? What kind of person names their kid Chrono? Chrono's parents, that's who.

"Hey Chrono?" Joshua said breaking the silence there was. "Want to go to the ice cream parlor? It might ruin our appetite, but we can get something good and sweet instead of school food," he said, making a face at 'school food.'

"Nah, ice cream won't fill me up, but I think the school food would eat me up," Chrono said smiling.

"Oh," Joshua said somewhat disappointed. But, then he turned around and started heading out the door. "Well then, I guess I'll be going."

Chrono blocked the door before Joshua could get out. He was shorter then Joshua, but tall enough that Joshua couldn't jump over him, but short enough that Joshua couldn't go under his arms. "You aren't going anywhere. You said your sister never let you have sweets for dinner, then you don't get sweets for dinner," Chrono said strictly. Just then, his cell phone rang. He used one hand to get it out of his pocket and answered. "Hello?" he asked. Joshua, seeing this as a chance to run through the small opening Chrono made, ran. "Joshua!" he yelled at the running boy. "Sorry Mary," he said into his phone. "Let me call you back later. Bye," he said hanging up. Running down the hall, he called to Joshua. "JOSHUA GET YOUR SORRY ASS BACK HERE!!"

XXXXXXX

"But Chrono," Joshua whined. "I want ice cream!"

Chrono, closing the door behind him and putting a chair in front of it and sitting in the chair, took out his cell phone. He dialed Mary's number.

(but I was)"- going to get double chocolate chip banana fudge sundae and I was gonna bring you some too and-"

"Shut up Joshua!" Chrono snapped, causing Joshua to shut up. "Hello, Mary? It's me Chrono. I'm sorry I hung up. Joshua ran out in attempt to get ice cream," Chrono said into his phone. "Your friend? Sure, why not." Joshua's face brightened. If Chrono left, no one could stop him from getting his double chocolate chip- "Do you mind I bring Joshua? If I leave him alone, he'll get ice cream while I'm gone." Joshua lost his happiness. Goodbye sundae. "Okay bye." Chrono hung up. "What's wrong with you Joshua?" Joshua shook his head. "Then let's go."

Rosette was this (Pretend someone's holding their thumb and finger really close together) close to falling asleep when her cell phone rang. 'Damn cell phone,' she thought. 'I drop you in a stream one time, and you hate me.' She picked up. "Hello, who is this," she tried to say in a non-hateful/angry way. "Hi Mary!" Her face lit up, no more anger in her. "Really? I'll be there," she said grabbing her stuff and stuffing it into a bag. "His roommate? I don't care. I just want to meet your boyfriend." She closed her bag. "Okay, bye." She hung up. Yay, now they would have a group dinner! And also, no school food!

Skittles: ZZZzzzZZZzzz

Reeses/Snickers: …

Reeses: She must really be tired

Snickers: Well, yeah. She sat there looking at her inbox waiting for some kind of response to the story

Reeses: Why?

Snickers: It's her first posted story online, why wouldn't she?

Reeses: … I didn't

Snickers: … Neither did I...

Skittles: (talking in sleep) con Miguel, iz hard to stick it on Miguel...

Reeses: What is she singing?

Snickers: I don't know... the misheard lyrics to caramelldasen?

Reeses: Isn't that how-

Snickers: Yes

Reeses: Hm, she sure has a good taste in user names...

Snickers: Anyway let's point out some things

Haruka, the woman that Joshua mentioned, is the woman that teaches you in the game: My Japanese Coach. It teaches you Hiragana, and Kanji. You have to do the right stroke first and in a certain order and in a certain way. She does not point out what you do wrong, she just tells you that you did it wrong.

When Rosette said 'I drop you in a stream one time, and you hate me.' , you would think that a phone would be useless after that, but it's just improbable, not impossible. It happened to Skittles, (except it was in a pond instead) and the phone still worked. She doesn't have that phone anymore, that was a long time ago, but still.

School food thing. The school they go to, (name still processing,) serves them dinner, but it's usually just leftovers from lunch. Gross.

If you find any mistakes, please tell us, we'll try to fix it right away.

Skittles: (still talking in sleep) dan, jo, dan, dan, jo, dan, jo...

Snickers: (Shaking skittles) Wake up...

Reeses: This could take a while...

Update:

We learned that "boku" is actually a male informal "I". We thought that it was formal, because we knew "ore" was informal. "Ore" is informal, but boku is too, just slightly less. Sorry for confusing you.
