UKIUKIpartynight
By: Mashimaro Neko
A/N: The highly anticipated (not) chapter 2 of UKIUKIpartynight has arrived!! (And not exactly like the preview said…) And this time it's partially hydrogenated! …No, that is not a sales pitch…HEY LOOK! IT'S A DISTRACTION! -points randomly and runs away- I changed the plot ever so slightly, and there are going to be about 12 main charm (aka actual birthday party) chapters, as a guideline. This means the story goes over 2 years, and cover 2 of each of the 6 angels' b-days. I looked up some random GA game spoilers online, and it both makes this story's couple's slightly more canon and slightly more insane. In equally disturbing news, please enjoy the story!
(The omake has been blended into the next chapter's plot, sorry about that…)

If I wasn't so cheap that might change. I also own my sense of humor. Though no one offline understands it. –sulks like a emo- It's very non-squietur… they're so squietur….
PARTY 2 Charming Salsa Beat and… Our Dance?!
Music: "Sakura Saku" from Love Hina)
Mint's eyes opened the next morning to a bright blue sky. Was she on earth? It seemed so bright and real…then thinking a bit, she came to her senses. This was the whale room, wasn't it….she sighed, and sat up, holding her head. If she had woken up, all that craziness was a dream, right?
"You finally woke up." A voice remarked from behind her. Mint spun around to see Kuromie sitting in a tree. "You've been asleep all day, sleepyhead. It's already noon." He said teasingly.
"Ah! Kuromie-kun!" Mint said cheerfully, looking up at her childhood friend. "I had the absolutely CRAZIEST dream! It was Forte's party, and there were these weird sculptures. Milfie was drunk(er than usual) and somehow, you got my charm in a cake, even though it was Forte's party and she didn't select anyone. Then we learned it was actually some sort of plot to get us to kiss! Then I ran into you on accident and we were forced to, then…" the blue-haired angel paused. "Eh, I dunno what happened then." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Pretty weird though, huh?"
"Um, Mint-chan, as much as I don't want to tell you this…that was no dream. It actually happened."
Silence.
"….Kuromie-kun?"
"Yes?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"No."
Silence.
"Noooooo!!" Mint cried, curling into the fetal position, crying comically and rocking. "nononoooooonononononooooo…"
"That's not going to help anything! Now stop being emo in a ball." Kuromie said, jumping out of the tree.
"You're right!" She said, jumping up into standing position.
"Kuromie-kun," Mint said, turning sharply to him, with her eyes serious as hell and her hand towards him, pinky and thumb the only fingers out.
"Promise me you won't tell anyone about all this, okay? We never kissed and last night NEVER HAPPENED." The fluffy-eared one said sternly. Kuromie blinked confusedly, then shook out whatever thoughts he had and did the same with his hand, their pinkies interlocking.
"Promise." Kuromie said, shaking her pinky lightly with his.
"If you break a promise, swallow 1000 needles!" they said in singsong unison, then let go, and softly giggled. Things were back to normal… right?
Two months later------------"Minty-chan!!" The pink-haired angel called out to her telepathic co-worker, running toward her.
Mint spun around. "Yes, Milfie-san? What do ya want?" It was an ordinary enough day in it's own respect. Nothing too insane had happened yet. By now, Mint had forgotten about the cake incident to most extents.
"Ranpha-kun's birthday's coming up! Do you mind helping me make the cakes?" Milfie said hopefully.
"No." Mint said coolly. "I like my arms, thank you."
Milfie childishly stuck out her tongue. "Fiiine! I'll ask someone else!" She said stubbornly, and ran off. Once she turned the corner, Milfie stopped and giggled evilly under her breath, then went in the direction of Ranpha's room casually.
She knocked on the door , and heard a muffled "come in". The door opened.
"Ranpha, I have a plan to help a few young peoples who need to realize their love for eachother. Mind helping me a bit?"
--------------------
The next day…Though the ice sculptures of the room were now different, they were just as disturbing and distracting, and no one seemed to care. Well, except Mint and Kuromie, and probably Shiva, wherever he was.
"They really do love to make these, don't they?" Mint said, sweatdropping. Kuromie nodded in agreement. The two were propped against a wall, trying to block out the sculptures and talking every once and a while. Forte was already drunk, and Milfie and Takuto were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Mint-chan, Kuromie-kun!" Lester said, walking up to them casually. "Having fun?"
"I guess." Kuromie said calmly. "It's really crowded though. And that music's really loud." And true, it was both; crowded, and salsa music blasted out of the speakers at a very high volume.
"Yeah, but no one really cares. They're too busy dancing. Except for us, I guess." Lester said, looking distracted. "Have you guys seen Vanilla around here? I need to talk to her." Mint and Kuromie shook their heads.
"Ah… that sucks. Oh yeah, did you hear?" He said, jumping subjects quickly. "I heard a rumor Ranpha elected two more angels for the charm game last-minute. Just in case you wanted a cake and do or don't want to kiss anyone. Oh, there Vanilla is!! See you two, don't drink, we don't want to get in trouble for letting you guys do something like that."
"I wonder who the elected angels are… probably Milfie and Chitose. Milfie's, well, Milfie, and I heard Ranpha say that Chitose needs a boyfriend." Mint said, cheerfully. "That'll be fun to watch."
"Yeah…" Kuromie said quietly, worry slightly creeping into his voice.
Mint gave him a curious look, but decided not to inquire but to change the subject.
"Hey, look! Milfie is giving the charm speech!" She said, pointing to the stage.
"Heya guys! Thanks for coming to the parties! Anybay, now is time for kisses and cake, the Charm Activity!" Milfie said, cheerful and, judging by her posture and talk, a bit drunk. "I know you were waiting for this the whole time, right? In the cakes, there are charmses, and if you get it, you get a kissy kissy from the angel it representses! Pink for mesis, blue for Minty, red for Ranpha-kun, light green for nursey lady Vani, dark-purple for Forty-man, and navy for Chi-tan! There's Ranpha's, then two for another angels in the kakeys. It's a SE- CER- ET who theys are! Happy kiss-hunting!"
Mint and Kuromie sweatdropped as Milfie skipped off the stage, her mind far off into sugar-sugar land like a dead light bulb fairy. The cake table was rushed, but the blue-haired angel and her friend stayed were they were.
"I don't really want a kiss from Ranpha, or Milfie and Chitose if they are the random angels." Kuromie said. "How long until they put out the next batch?"
"When all the charms are found." Mint said simply, sighing. "I hope it's soon I'm hungr---" she was cut off as Milfie glomped her from the side.
"Minty-tan, Kuromie-tun needs cake! Here cake!" she said, trying to hand a cake to Kuromie over Mint's head.
"No he doesn't! You're trying to sabotage it anyway! It probably has Ranpha's charm in it and you're hoping he'll get beat up or something!" Mint said, desperately trying to push the cake in her hands to the floor.
Kuromie blushed slightly. "I-I'm not hungry! Really!"
"YES YOU ARE!!" Milfie insisted. "Now you eat the cake or die! I INSIST!"
"He doesn't care! Don't take the cake, Kuromie-kun!" Mint said, utterly helpless with Milfie leaning hard on her shoulder and hugging her one handedly, with her cake-hand far over her head.
"I don't want the cake, honest!" Kuromie said. "Give it to Ranpha or something!"
"Fine then! I will!" Milfie said angrily, letting go of Mint and leaving with the cake, presumably to find Ranpha. Once out of sight, she giggled. They would have to face fate, accepting of it or not…
Mint sighed in relief. "Finally, my shoulder hurt…"Kuromie looked at her sternly. "Mint-chan… though you said we weren't supposed to talk about this… I think she's doing it again."
Mint looked at him, confused. "Huh? Doing what?"
"Stop playing dumb Mint-chan! You remember!" Kuromie scolded.
"I do? …Uh, remind me!"
"You know… the thing… we weren't supposed to talk about… That happened at Forte's party…"
"You ate too much? That must be it! You ate too much cake. Haha, baka Kuromie!"
"That's not it!!" Kuromie said, tiredly. "You don't remember, do you?"
Mint shook her head. Kuromie pulled her behind the nearest convient nearby sculpture and whispered into her ear.
"We kissed. They put your charm in the cake and I was given it. By Milfie. They chased us around. Don't you remember? You fainted, then you made me promise not to tell anyone or to ever speak of it again."
Mint eyes widened, then she shook her head. "Are you sure that actually happened Kuromie-kun? Sounds like an ecchi dream to me. Ecchi Ecchi Kuromie-kun!"
"It wasn't a dream! It was you who thought it was a dream. Honest!" Kuromie said, still whispering. Another partygoer, just them, bumped into him from the back, knocking him over… on top of the shocked Mint. (A/N: Stock shojo manga love situation number 2, folks! (#1 is the whole "hands meet while picking up dropped things" deal.))
The two friends blushed considerably, unmoving. I swear… déjà vu… Mint thought, looking into Kuromie's shocked and blushing face. Something like this happened before… We were like this.. except… there was something else, wasn't there…?
"U-um…" Kuromie stuttered. "I… Um…"
"Sorry to barge in on such a personal affair…" said a voice from behind them. Ranpha stood behind them, a smirk on her face. "I didn't mean to interrupt you guys."
Kuromie bolted up. "I-it's not like that!! You didn't interrupt anything!! I just tripped, y-you know?"
Ranpha giggled. "You're as red as a tomato, both of you. I foresee bed action in your future."
"Ewwwww! Ranpha, echiiiii! Hentai!! We don't like eachother and we're not even legal!!" Mint said loudly, her face redder than before.
"Well, neither are Milfie and Takuto-san…" she said, casually. "And I bet you've guessed or been told what they do every night. They—"
"WE KNOW." Kuromie and Mint said loudly in unison.
"Teehee. Corruption of youth. They've got a lot against them now…" Ranpha said to herself. "Anyway. Aren't you curious why I was even looking for you two in the first place?"
"Um, no, actually." Kuromie said. "I don't really want to know, but you're going to tell me anyway, so just get it over with."
"It's about the charm."
"I didn't get one."
"Exactly. I did."
Silence.
"So you're going to kiss yourself?" Mint said. "Oh god, that is one thing I don't want to see…"
"NO YOU IDIOT!" Ranpha said angrily, hitting Mint on the head. "As an angel with my charm out there, if I get a charm, it doesn't count and I can freely give it to someone else."
"So, you're giving Kuromie-kun the charm? (I don't think you're evil enough to give me one.) Who's is it?" Mint asked, curiously.
"Oh, no one special."
"puru?"
Ranpha ignored Mint's confused reaction and took Kuromie's hand, opened it, set the charm in it without letting him see it, then closed his hand. The whale-taker blinked confusedly at this strange treatment of it, opening his hand. Shock came over his face.
"whose is it, Kuromie-kun?"
"… well…"
"What?"
"It's not Ranpha's."
"Yes?"
"It's not Chitose's…"
"Yes?"
"And it's definitely not Milfie's."
"whose is it then?"
"…yours…"
It was just as Kuromie said that word that Mint remembered the former party's events, in their full contents. "purupurupuru…" she mumbled as she comically melted onto the floor. Ranpha laughed hysterically.
"You shouldn't be surprised! It's not like this is new to you." She said, holding back giggles. "I mean, it happened at Forte's party too!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!!" Mint yelled, startling a few other partygoers. "DID MILFIE AND TAKUTO—"
"fufufu…" Two strange voices came from nowhere. Mint looked around frantically. Kuromie eyes widened.
"W-who was that?" Mint said, slightly scared.
"Fufufu… Mint-chan, Kuromie-kun… we could not let this rest! Sleeping dogs won't lie unless they are meant to!" said one of the voices.
"There is still much to be said between you two! We couldn't let silence forget this all! (Besides, we need enough material for the next 10 chapters.)" said the other. Mint and Kuromie blinked confusedly.
"To announce the secrets of truth and love!"
"To extend its reach to the stars above!"
Two familiar figures jumped down and landed gracefully on top of one of the statues.
"Milfie!"
"Takuto!"
"Team Mizuiro Kisu, blasting off at the speed of sound! Surrender and kiss or prepare to run!" There the two stood, in uniform-like white outfits with an aqua "MK" on the front.
"…You're kidding, right?" Kuromie said, werided out. Mint stood silent in shock.
"Stop infringing copyright!!" Ranpha yelled, knocking them off the sculpture with a giant paper fan. (AN: Hammerspace is your friend!)
"We're blasting off again..." Milfie said childishly as she and her boyfriend dropped to the floor, landing clumsily.
Mint turned to Kuromie slowly. "K-kuromie-kun…"
Kuromie did the same. "C-could they actually still…"
"Be on about the whole M-mizuiro Kisu thing, now?"
The two became silent.
Milfie stood up, rubbing her bottom. "Tchtchtch… Ranpha, that was mean…"
"I agreed to help you, but that doesn't mean 'go do stupid things and make stupid entrances!'"
"But it was dramatic…" Milfie's eyes watered and trembled.
"Dramatic like my ass!! Don't you have a job? I'm done on my part!"
"RANPHA!! Did you buy into this confusing lie that they made up too?!" Mint said, spazzing and feeling very betrayed and angry. "If you can't notice, We are NOT in love!! NO LOVE!! We're friends!! ONLY!! NOT special ones, and WITHOUT benefits!! Do I have to spell it out?! Do I have to write it on our foreheads?! F-R-I-E-N-D-S!! T-O-M-O-D-A-C-H-I!!"
"Aww, it's so cute! She's denying it!" Ranpha said teasingly with a giggle. Milfie awed after her. Mint growled, barring her teeth.
"I'M NOT DENYING ANYTHING EXCEPT LIES!!!"
"Aww, so cute! Young love…"
"SHUT UPPP!!! STOP LYING!!! YOU LIED!!!!"
"It really is cute. Takuto, were we ever like that?"
"I don't think so, we were older…"
"THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE AREN'T IN LOVE!!!"
"Aww, I wonder if they'll ever come to terms with it themselves?" Ranpha teased finally, looking at the two innocently, as Kuromie sweatdropped and Mint screamed.
"THAT'S IT RANPHA, YOU ARE GOING—" Mint started off, but was then hit with a small ball-like object. As soon as it touched her head, it trapped Mint and Kuromie underneath a net.
Mint blinked, her brain fuzzy for a moment. As soon as she realized what it was, she struggled. "MILFIE-SAN! This isn't funny!! Let us out!!" The pink-haired angel only giggled in response.
"Gotcha! This time it'll be all perfect! We'll be sure to get a few more fans of the Kuromie and Mint couple now!"
"But we aren't a couple!" Kuromie protested weakly, trying to find the ends of the net.
"What are you, a fanfic writer?" Mint yelled.
"That's someone else's job, I just set everything up conveniently."
Repair crews at the 4th wall ask for a raise due to the sudden new breakage.
"Now let's get to work!" Milfie said, and turned to Takuto. He brought out a remote control out of his pocket, and pushed the red button. The net strung together at the corners and lifted up, apparently connected to the ceiling. It led them over to the stage, and dropped the two blushing crew members in a heap on the stage. Milfie and Takuto then walked on stage infront of them.
"Miina-san! Look what we caught!" Milfie said cheerfully, pointing to the two heavily blushing crew members. "A real live fan coupling!"
This just in! Workers Riot at the 4th wall! More details at 9!
Seemingly all the room turned to them. A few awed. A few groaned. Some young children pretended to puke. Some adults actually did, though that had nothing to do with the couple. Most just stared in silence, smirking.
Milfie returned their smile. "In case you don't know who they are… Mint, here, is our youngest Angel-dan member! She loves the space whales, and is telepathic."
"OOOOH, AHHHH!" Takuto said exaggeratedly.
"And Kuromie here is the caretaker of said space whales. He's a normal guy, pretty much."
"OOOOH, AHH—wait, that's not impressive…" Takuto said, slightly pissing Kuromie off. "Shut up!"
"And they are in... LOVE-LOVE!! Is it true? YES! Is it better than chocolate? Maybe!" Takuto said.
"What is love? Is it true it's better than chocolate?" Milfie sang cheerfully.
"These two lovebirds—well, looking at Mint's ears, love-rabbits is a better word—"
"THEY'RE NOT RABBIT EARS!"
"--- have been brought together by the tradition of the charms! That's right, Kuromie has coincidentally found---"
"COINCEDENCE MY ASS!"
"--- his sweetheart's charm!" Takuto finished. Milfie threw off the net and pushed them together lightly, as to emaphize the sweetheart part. Mint pushed Milfie away.
"So now, THEY WILL—" Milfie started.
"HOLD IT!" said a girlish voice. Everyone froze and shut up.
Forte marched on stage.
"THEY CAN'T KISS!"
Everyone gasped.
"BECAUSE…"
Anxious silence. Sentence fragments.
"…they should dance instead."
Confused silence.
"… Forte, why dance?" Ranpha asked, walking on stage with a grin. This was planned. And it was obvious, and had that fake feel to it.
"Because, Ranpha, this is your party."
"I know, Forte, but what does this have to do with my party?"
"…uuuu–hic-uuh…" Forte trailed off into stupidty and hiccups. She had obviously had at least seven one too many drinks.
Ranpha sighed and looked at the audience pathetically. "Salsa music. Salsa music is for love. I like salsa music. They're going to dance to salsa music. Which is for love."
The audience gave a collective "ooooooooh" sort of noise.
"And then they kiss?" Milfie asked.
"Sure." Ranpha said nonchalantly.
Milfie turned to the crowd. "What do you think?"
"NO!!" Kuromie and Mint shouted in unison.
The audience gave collective excited noises and agreement gestures.
"All right then, if you insist!" Milfie said cheerfully.
"WE DIDN'T!" Mint and Kuromie yelled.
"Ranpha, hit the music!"
Ranpha ran to the radio and turned on the music. It was fast like a DDR song. On heavy. With the tempo times two. If it had no vocals. Kuromie and Mint looked at eachother, horror-sticken. They knew that if they tried to dance to that…. Horrible things…
They both stood up at the same time, almost accepting of their fate. Milfie pushed them both off the edge of the stage. Which led to them in a heap. A surprisingly non-fanclub inducing one. (They can't always have sucky luck.) The two quickly stood up, back to back.
"…Kuromie?" Mint said, too afraid to move.
"Yes?" Kuromie awnsered, having the same problem.
"If I die, tell Milfie that I hate her guts." She said.
The two turned around and laced fingers and braced themselves for the worst.
Kuromie and Mint did something resembling dancing. Spinning eachother, mostly. Said spinning was done very clumsly when Kuromie did it, so it was soon wordlessly decided to be Mint's duty. To be spun. Fast. Both of them moved their feet frantically, jumping sometimes, their fingers laced purely for protection provided one of them fall. Neither of the two knew what the hell was going on. They just moved to the beat. Rather clumsly. Some people might have thought that cute. But that was a bad thing for the two, so they tried to stay steady.
"Danger! Danger!" Takuto yelled. Ranpha hit him with her paper fan.
Mint spun again. She knew the song was about to end. She just had to hold out... she could feel her ankle lean—and she knew it was the end. Not of the song, but of her short and tortured life.
She felt herself falling. "Wha—" Kuromie exclaimed, but he was cut off as the blue-haired girl fell onto him. They both fell to the floor, and— in an instant--
STAGE FAILED.
"Kisu!" Milfie cheered. It was all over. The thing they all wanted had happened. Mint finally figured out what happened and immediately pulled herself back, her face red. Kuromie's was the same.
Milfie and Takuto toasted, beer in hands. Many cheered. Many puked. Ranpha stopped the music. Forte ran off. Then all these people pretty much forgot about the two themselves, and started talking about the achievement.
Mint then jumped back even more, noticing she was pretty much laying on him. She soon was kneeling on the floor beside him. Kuromie sat up as well. "...I'm sorry..." Mint said quietly, her face still bright red. "I slipped..." Kuromie shook his head. "We would have had to anyway. It was just sooner than later. The real problem is... I think that this lie has just gotten a whole lot more public..."
Mint looked around. The many guests were cheering. Milfie and Takuto were drinking, and talking about how Miziuro Kisu had suceeded again. Ranpha was listening to the pink-haired angel and her boyfriend with a smile. Everyone seemed to be talking about the new couple on the ship, Mint and Kuromie.
The blue-haired girl fell over.
"NO! DON'T FAINT!"
Referance Notes:
"If you break a promise, swallow 1000 needles!"
Japanese equivilent of "Cross my heart and hope to die".
"You're as red as a tomato, both of you. I foresee bed action in your future."
In a roleplay me and my friends did, one of the characters boldly said that to someone. I forgot which roleplay it was in, but I said it. And I don't remember why. It was hilarious, though.
"To announce the secrets of truth and love!"
"To extend its reach to the stars above!"

In case you were unlucky/lucky enough to miss the American version of Pokemon, this is Team Rocket's poem-thing. Edited, of course.
"And they are in... LOVE-LOVE!! Is it true? YES! Is it better than chocolate? Maybe!" Takuto said.
"What is love? Is it true it's better than chocolate?" Milfie sang cheerfull.
This is a line to the solo song Ai Kago, from Morning Musume/ Hello! Project sung early in her career, called "Renai tte Nani" (What is Love). I love that song. It's so cute and almost sad-sounding sometimes.
"Danger! Danger!" Takuto yelled.
If you suck at DDR and are about to fail a stage, some voice yells, "Danger! Danger!" ... I know this because I suck at DDR.
STAGE FAILED.
More DDR referances. If you fail a stage, it says, "Stage Failed." Duh.
…her mind far off into sugar-sugar land like a dead light bulb fairy.
Inside joke. Sugar-sugar land is the land of death/ the land of hyperness. The place where light bulb fairies go after their light bulb goes out. I'm part of the welcoming committee. The unofficial capital of St. Lucia. Yeah….don't ask…
YOU LIED!!!!
Higurashi referance, to some extent. Me and my friends say this alot.
FLASH JAPANESE LESSON:
Echii means Pervert/perverted
Hentai means pervert/perverted or anime porn. In this, it means the first two.
Tomodachi means friend.
Dan means brigade.
Miina means everybody.
I think that's all the random japanese I used in this...
