"Wait…what?"
"You heard me," he said smirking.
"Well…let's see. I'll do it on one condition," I replied, "And that condition is to-"
"Yippee! Kaoru! You're looking for a job right?" asked Momoko. And she interrupted me again. At least he forgot about it. Right?
"Job? Yeah, I'm searching, but Miyako doesn't really need one since she's already rich. Why are you so excited?"
"I got you one~ one of the only ways that you could even get hired is to get recommended. And I recommended you for this job. You should be thanking me."
"Seriously?! I love you forever Momoko! Yes!"
"Now…I think there's an opening in the Japanese part on this shop, and a slim chance where the Western food is. So I want you to work with me with the Japanese food, and you'll become a waitress. In some really cute uniforms Miyako would love!"
"…I see why you recommended me here now. You're trying to make me wear something girly."
Butch snickered. What a great surprise.
"Funny thing is that I work across the street selling sportswear." He said.
"…You should have told me earlier. I could have worked there instead." I glared at him.
"Too late Kaoru, you have to see if you're hired here first," giggled Momoko.
Darn…I wanted to work at the sports shop. Butch is just sitting there and it's already 7. I got to get home.
"It's time to go, nice meeting you Butch," said Momoko.
"See Ya' Man." I waved. And the 3 of us parted away. I feel bad for not answering him. He would need to find out the condition for himself. I'm not going to give away myself so easily. Especially to a stranger that I just met today. I probably shouldn't left him hanging there.
"Haha, goodbye." He said.
A couple of minutes later, when Butch is nowhere to be seen, Momoko asked me a question.
"Kaoru...are you okay? Your face is red and," Momoko said concerned, and then she realized something, "You couldn't be, him?! Is this true?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about." I said.
"…Of course you would say that. I meant you like guys like him?! I'm surprised you already and REALLY moved on from that senpai (upperclassman) years ago!" She snickered, "Well it makes sense since it's too obvious for you. And look! You are turning even more red. I was right~"
"I have a fever since it's cold *cough*," I faked the cough, "See?"
"Yup sure you do. I'm going to Miyako's house. Are you coming?"
"Nope. I have to go home before my parents find me. Our household is insane."
"Really? Aww…I wanted you to come. Okay. Tomorrow. You. Come to Miyako's house and we have an experiment and you are our test subject."
"Why me?"
"We have to beat…Himeko. SHE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY WE NEED TO BEAT HER!"
"BUT WHO WOULD ASSIGN A PROJECT WHEN THERE IS ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL?! ARE THEY CRAZY!?"
"…Who said it was for school? It's for our precious things we love; she's going to take them all away."
"What? That girl is crazy."
"Surprisingly, she included you too. So you better participate if you want your skateboard and your sports back."
I sighed. I guess I have to follow their directions. I don't want to lose to that girl ever. Ew. Just thinking about her makes me sick.
"Got it. When? In the morning?"
"Yes. 8 AM, sharp. It's very important. And it's going to be worth it. Trust me."
After parting my ways with Momoko, I went home, regretting meeting that person. Why did it have to be me? Was it luck or unlucky? I was thinking and told my mom that Momoko applied me for a job. She seemed very glad, since she never sees me in a dress. I even told her that I'll be at Miyako's house all day, and she happily agrees. Ever since I started hanging out with them, she loves them as if they are her own daughters too and encourages them to make me more like a girl than a major tomboy. I fell onto my bed and started thinking, have I gotten different from last time? Have I really changed? Is it all because of being a Powerpuff. Momoko…Miyako…Who ever knew that we would ever get this close after one single day? I sighed, and shut my eyes and went to sleep.
I woke up at 7 am, and it was a Sunday. I don't usually wake up this early on the weekends, but I had a reason too. I changed into to my black t-shirt, and some jeans and some combat boots. Sigh, I look a little trendier now, since the old clothes don't fit me anymore. I wore my leather fingerless gloves, since I think it looks cool and me and make me still think I'm a tomboy. I ate breakfast and left. Miyako texted me that I should start going now, but luckily I got prepared before. I walked with ease to Miyako's house and knocked on the door. She opened it and already dressed up. She giggled. I guess Momoko isn't here yet and eating more than she should. I really don't understand how she stays in perfect shape. I walked in and Miyako made me some tea. Good thing I was in the mood for it. While I was drinking it, the doorbell rang and Momoko came in. Everyone seemed in a good mood today so it seemed like they weren't worried.
"Kaoru, remember your first love back then, that day when you found out your father's face outside the mask before?" asked Miyako.
"Of course I do. That day was the special day I ever saw my father's full face." I said.
"Remember you when you were so cute and beautiful that day too?" Asked Momoko.
"…Yeah…why?" I asked, "What about it."
"It's that time again! The project is to get Kaoru a date! We have to beat Himeko. You two will be competing for the same guy. To win and to keep our pride, we have to dress you up and make you more beautiful than ever! She thinks she would win against you, and we don't think so. If she loses, we get one thing that is whatever we want from her."
"Alright! Anything from the rich demon! I'm going to get that new video game console!" I yelled.
"And we have chosen the boy you guys are competing for. And I chose him~ so Kaoru should be happy!" Said Momoko, "And Himeko gladly agrees. But the problem is that he has to be her boyfriend if she wins."
"…One question. How did you guys even came up with this bet?" I asked.
"Well…Momoko took a picture of you guys while you were at that café and Himeko was eating there, trying to ruin her job. And found you with some guy, and now she's after him." Said Miyako.
"So you're saying it's Momoko's fault?"
"I guess. Now let's get started!" exclaimed Miyako, excited.
They started to put makeup on me put me in a different dress and such, straightened my hair, and found me accessories. We better win if that I'm that much of a doll.
"Oh. And the boy is Butch. I'm just saying." Said Momoko. Wait. It's him?! I cannot do this anymore. Get me out of here. I just didn't answer his confession properly! What should I do?
"What?!" I screamed, "I don't want to do this anymore!"
"Don't worry Kaoru, it's not like he's going to recognize you. You are going to have a diferent personality. That cute one from last time too. He doesn't even know about this bet. Oh by the way…YOU'RE BLUSHING LIKE A LOVESTRUCK GIRL. Momoko, she's turning into a girl again~!"
"She's already a girl. She just can't accept the truth until now."
"That was harsh." I said.
"We're almost done!" said Miyako.
This day is going to get worse. I have a feeling I'm going to be laughed at. At least he doesn't know who I am. I'm just grateful for that.
Wow Guys~ Thank you for reviewing and reading! Makes me a little happier!
