Lollie: It's finally here! Yaaay!

Kisshu: About time...

Lollie: HEY! Do you want to kiss Ichigo later on, or not?

Kisshu: YES!

Lollie: Then shhh... On with the story :D

Ichigo: I don't agree with this...

Lollie: You shush too!


I knocked on Mint's door. I was so restless, I couldn't stop moving. I was so excited to see my friends and do something fun outside of work for a change! I was sure that this was going to be the BEST night ever!

"Ichigo, onee-chan!" Pudding hugged me as she opened the door.

"Hi Pudding! Are Lettuce and Zakuro here already too?" I asked.

Pudding beamed, flashing her million dollar smile. "No. I just got here. Mint is in the kitchen. I was just helping her put chips in bowls for tonight when you knocked. Come on, let's help!"

It was cute how Pudding was excited to help Mint. I got dragged into the kitchen and ended up putting tons of food in bowls.

"So…" Mint said as she emptied the last bag of chips in a bowl, handing it to Pudding to take upstairs. "Are you still ordering the pizza?"

"Already did." I laughed. "They said they would come within 20 minutes, so the others better hurry!"

Just as I said that, the doorbell rang. "Speak of the devil!" Mint said as she opened it.

"Hi Mint!" Lettuce grinned, handing her a few bags of skittles, m&m's and a packet of mini mars bars. "I also brought a few mix CD's, they're in my bag."

"Wow!" I laughed. "We're going to get so fat!"

"It better be worth it…" Mint sighed, a small smile tugging on her lips.

We all walked upstairs, trying to balance the dozens of bowls of food in our hands.

"Pudding?" I called for her as we entered the bedroom. "Lettuce is here… and we have more food."

Pudding hugged Lettuce, then turned the TV on as the doorbell rang.

"That would be Zakuro." Mint headed downstairs.

"What movie should we watch first?" Pudding asked excitedly.

"Well," I sat down, flicking through the movies, "We have Paranormal Activity, Indiana Jones."

"Yuck!" Mint shivered as she walked in the room with Zakuro... AND the pizza. Luckily, my purse was on the kitchen bench, so Mint just used the money from that to pay the delivery man instead of going back up and asking me to go back downstairs again.

"Hi Zakuro!" Lettuce smiled.

"Super 8, National Treasure, Titanic and The Notebook. Let's vote."

"I want to watch The Notebook!" Lettuce giggled. She always loved romance movies. To be honest, I would much rather Titanic than The Notebook, but hey; that's just my opinion on romance… and Lettuce is definitely a hopeless romantic!

"Ew!" Mint shuddered.

"You can't say anything, Mint." I laughed. "You hate them all!"

"That's not true!" She pouted. "I like Paranormal Activity."

"I don't like scary movies!" Pudding said. "I want to watch Indiana Jones."

"I really don't care." Zakuro shrugged. "But I'll just say National Treasure. Riley is kinda cute…"

I high fived Zakuro. "Even though Riley is sexy as, I vote Super 8."

"That's only because it has aliens in it." Mint wagged her finger in front of my face. "And it reminds you of Kisshu!"

"That is NOT true!" I said defensively. "I just like the concept."

"Bull crap you like the concept!" Mint accused. "You like the aliens!"

"That's not true! I think Cary is cute!"

"You also think Riley is cute. And you think Jack Dawson is cute. That doesn't mean you don't like Kisshu."

"When did I say I liked Kisshu?" I asked, confused.

"Everyone knows you do!" Mint laughed.

"And you never said you didn't like him." Zakuro pointed out.

"Guys!" I pouted. "Stop bullying me!"

"At least you have a chance with Kisshu." Okay. Mint was definitely trying to annoy me when she said that. "He's actually alive, unlike your fictional husbands."

"Can we all just shut up and watch a movie already, instead of talking about Kisshu?" I suggested.

There was a few seconds of silence. The girls were looking behind me with their mouths gaping. "What is it?"

I turned around, only to find Kisshu smirking behind me.

"I'm glad you're talking about me, Koneko-chan."


I could have just died, there and then. I could NOT believe he had heard us talking about him… and the things we were saying! He probably thought I liked him! Which I totally didn't, by the way...

I tried to change the subject. "Why the hell are you here?"

"Don't change the subject, kitten." Well, that was a fail...

Luckily, (and surprisingly) Mint was there to save me. "We never said you could be here! Get out! Both of you!"

"Taru-taru!" Pudding ran over to Taruto and hugged him.

"I-I told you!" Taruto growled, trying to breathe while the young girl was squeezing him tightly. "Don't call me that! Get off of me."

Pai, however, was no where to be found (much to the disappointment of Lettuce).

"What do you want, Kisshu?" I asked, trying to sound aggressive as possible. Much to my dismay, it didn't work very well.

He floated over to me, smirking. He sat down next to me. "We want to chill here."

"Well, that's… wait, what? Why? How did you even... What? WHY?"

"Shh, slow down, kitten."

"Why, Kisshu? WHY?"

Before he answered, Pudding but in. "Taru-taru wants to stay!"

"I said don't call me that!" Taruto pushed Pudding off of him. Although, instead of her being sad about it, she giggled. Pudding's a strange one, all right…

"Can we?" Kisshu pouted. "Please?" That was the first time Kisshu ever pleaded... or asked me for anything, actually. Usually, he forced me to do something. Well, tried to force me to do something, anyway.

Taruto stepped toward Mint and Zakuro, who were already in fighting position. Me, on the other hand, was in front of them. My muscles relaxed and I got out of my fighting position when I saw how worried Taruto was. "Pai was kind of angry. He was throwing books around and everything. Ever since we left Earth, Pai has been upset – we don't know why. I think he misses the battles."

"The battles?" I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Why would he miss the battles?"

"I-I don't know." Taruto looked down, fiddling with his hands.

"Okay." I nodded.

"What?" Mint, Zakuro, Lettuce and Pudding gasped. Pudding was the only one who gasped happily, for she got to see her 'Taru-Taru'.

"You heard what he said. They have no where to go."

"You… you can't just keep them here!" Mint yelled. "This is my house, remember?"

"Please." Kisshu begged, with pleading eyes. "I don't want Taruto to be in the same house as Pai while he's angry."

"Ugh…" Mint rolled her eyes. "FINE! But just for tonight."

"Thank you!" Taruto grinned.

We all sat down in the circle that we were in before they came. Luckily for me, both Kisshu and Taruto wanted to watch Super 8 because they had aliens in it.

Unluckily for me, they had no idea what was going on.

"So what is that guy doing?" Taruto asked.

"He's recording for a movie they're making." I told him.

"Why are they making a movie?" Kisshu wanted to know.

I sighed. "I don't know, some competition."

"What kind of competition?" Kisshu asked once again.

"I don't know!" I whispered.

"Why is that guy…"

"Kisshu!"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up!"

I could tell that it was going to be a long night…
