Ichigo was mumbling about what Renji had said earlier..
"what the hell are they planning to do now?" he said..
"Oh come on Ichigo it's not that it's just your first time filming with us you know.." Renji said..
"What the hell? Pardon me mister.. did you just said filming?" Ichigo asked..with a terrified face..
"Yes you heard it right.. were going to film a story about Fairy Tales that we got from your world.. this is going to be fun..!" Renji replied..
"Hell NO! I'am not going to participate to that filming whatever you're saying.. do you remember what you did to me last time I helped you in filming with your crappy story?" Ichigo insisted.. Remembering the time he almost died in filming with them coz of the very "realistic" special effects thanks to the the captain of full awesomeness Byakuya Kuchiki..
"Come on Ichigo, you're not scared or embarrassed to participate.. right?" Renji teased...
"Of course not you moron..!" Ichigo yelled..
Both of them were cut when Rukia appeared carrying lots of costumes..
"Oi Ichigo, it looks like you're time for the festival.." She said..
"Yeah right.. whatever.. what are those?" Ichigo asked..
"Oh this..? this are the costumes that are going to be used by those "love teams" that are going to be chosen to participate and play the lead roles in the fairy tales that we are going to feature.. Rukia explained..
"See? you don't have to participate unless you are chosen.. so no need to be scared.." Renji teased..
"I'm not scared pal.." Ichigo replied giving him a deadly look...
"does this mean that anyone could be chosen?" he asked..
"Definitely.." Renji said..
"But how are they going to choose the love teams which are going to participate in the filming.?" Ichigo asked..
"Everyone in the Gotei 13 will have to vote on the love teams they want to see, the team with the highest vote will be the pair and they have to play the lead roles in the story given to them.. they can't say no.. whether they like it or not if they're chosen and that means they have to play.." Rukia explained..
"That sucks, who even recommended that?" Ichigo asked..
"Captain Commander did" Renji answered..
Ichigo was surprised.. 'so that old man was a fan of fairy tales and love stories despite of his age, I'm totally impressed..' he thought..
"Anyway I think we have to go to the festival ground now.." Rukia said..
"Right" the two men nodded in agreement as they help Rukia carry the costumes and went straight to the ground..
As they arrive on the venue of the festival.. the Seiritei looks different.. everything was decorated is as if there's a school fest..
"Hey!" Captain Ukitake called the three as he spotted them..
"Oh.. hi Kurosaki-san I guess you're in perfect timing for the festival.." he greeted..
"Prefect timing.. I wouldn't say that.." Ichigo replied..
"Lieutenant Kuchiki, I'll take those costumes in the backstage.." Kiyone offered..
"Alright.." Rukia and Ichigo handed the costumes to Kiyone and he went straight to the stage..
"Why don't the three of you enjoy the festival.. there's still half an hour before the main event begin.." Captain Ukitake commented..
The three went into different stalls..
15 mins later..
"I have to go now.. I think Captain Kuchiki needs me in decorating the Kuchiki mansion for the festival.. see ya around.." Renji said..
"Right.." Ichigo said,.then Renji disappeared leaving the two around..
"Let's just enjoy the fest like what Captain said.." Ichigo offered..
"Yeah.. might as well" Rukia replied..
Meanwhile the captains and their lieutenants are also seen enjoying themselves in the festival..
"Do it Ken-chan!" Yachiru cheered as Kenpachi was trying his best to play darts..
"Wha- what a paradise.." Soi-Fon said dreamily as she was looking around the shop with Yoruichi items inside..
"Nanao-chan.. I love you!" Captain Kyoraku was singing.. he was drunk..
Ichigo and Rukia continued walking around but was cut when the stage opened and revealed Gin..
"What the hell are you doing here?! You're an enemy.. more importantly.. you're dead right?" Ichigo blurted out..
"Don't get so worked up..That's right.. let's just say this is my part time job.. okay?" -wink- Gin replied..
"Part time job.. what are you saying you moron..?" Ichigo complained..
"Anyway so much for that.. let the Valentine Special begins!" Gin liven up the festival with his opening..
"Now let us first hear from our very own Captain Commander a speech before we begin announcing the participating love teams.." he said..
everybody cheered as the Captain Commander entered the stage..
he clears his throat before saying the longest speech a Captain Commander was able to deliver..
"Even dead people needs love.. that's all thank you.." he said..
"..." everyone seems to be waiting for some more..
"Amazing.. well that's it! thank you captain commander for that heart warming speech.." Gin said..
"And now.. we're going to announce the lucky love teams that are going to participate into the play.." Gin announced.. everyone was cheering.. Hisagi brought the heart shaped box where in the names of the 5 love teams that are going to participate..
"Okay everyone.. now this love box contains the name of the most loved pairs who got the highest votes.." Gin explained..
"And the first one is.. anyway this pair is going to do the story of... Sleeping Beauty!" Gin announced..
the crowd was very excited to know on who would be playing in the story..
"And the pair is.." Gin announced.. and showed the names of the pair..
"IshiHime! this is consist of Ishida-san and Inoue-chan..!" Gin announced.. the crowd was cheering for both as the spotlight turned on both of them standing beside each other while watching..
"Ehhh? why us?" Inoue asked..
Ishida stared at Gin with his piercing look..
"Can't back out.." Gin said..
"Okay now to the next pair they are going to play the story of the little mermaid..."
"Oh this is going to be a though one.." Rukia said..
"Whatever.. they are making such a mess.." Ichigo said.. but was cut when Gin started talking again..
"Okay.. this is a surprise.. the pair that's going to play the story of little mermaid would be..."
"Me and Rangiku..!" he announced..
"WHAT!?" Rangiku shouted..
"Okay this going to be a very "revealing" story...but we'll work on the costumes.." Gin said..
"What are talking about you damn pervert!" Rangiku complained..
"Now.. to the third pair.. they will be playing the story of Beauty and the Beast.. and it's...
Zangetsu-san and Sode no Shirayuki-san!" Gin announced then the spot light showed Sode no Shirayuki and Zangetsu eating with the other Zanpakutos..
Ichigo laughed so hard.. "that old man is definitely going to be the beast!" he teased..
Hichigo appeared beside him and laughed as well.. "I agree with you pal..!" then the two laughed once again..
"Oi quit it you two.." Rukia ordered..
"Okay now the fourth pair.. they will be playing the story of Cinderella.." Gin said..
"Wooohh this is a very interesting pair.. it's HitsuHina pair.. Hinamori-san and Captain Hitsugaya!" He announced..
"Oi Ichimaru what the hell are you saying?" Captain Toushiro complained..
"Oh captain we're not accepting violent reactions" Gin replied..
"I'm pretty sure that Toushiro would be the one needing that shoes with heels.." Karin teased..
"Shut up!" Hitsugaya ordered..
"Okay now we're down to the last pair.. these pair will have to play the role of the princess and the prince in the ever famous and well loved story.. the story of snow white and the seven dwarfs.." Gin explained.. and the last pair would be..
everyone was waiting for an answer...
"IchiRuki! Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki.. congratulations!" Gin announced and the crowd roar..
"What the hell" Ichigo and Rukia chorused..
"I'm pretty sure that Ichigo couldn't make up to his role.. let me do it!" Hichigo (hallowed ichigo) said..
"What did you say?" Ichigo said..
"You were more like a villain than a prince!" Hichigo mocked..
"Look who's talking..!" Ichigo replied..
"Alright.. since it's settled everyone see you next month.. on the February 14th will be the showing of your film so you have plenty of time to prepare.. see ya..
everyone chosen was on a rampage and complaining why do they have to play..
While Captain Commander was watching from the Commander's seat..
"this means profit" then sparkles came from him..
