Me: ...I'm sorry... A scene in this story got my emotions all worked up, and so I took a break... But I forgot to go back to it...
Chloe: Did you forget? Or did you just procrastinate and your trying to say you forgot?
Me:... A little of both? Anyway, please enjoy this delayed chapter! I'll try to update this more regularly, but don't expect too much of me, I'm still in the battle of breaking my procrastination habbit. I dont own Yumeiro Patissiere.
~Chapter Three~
~Beware of the Future~
"Yeah I'm sorry for forgetting, but since we're all here let's make lots of yummy sweets!" I could feel my old self starting to return when I said that.
We spent much of that evening cooking, and it was a lot of fun. Kashino would yell at me, Hanabusa-kun would comfort me, and Andou-kun would encourage me. After a couple hours, we finally finished and looked at our finished product. It was a chocolate cheesecake in an almond crust. It was topped with a thin layer of clear, pink glaze and imbedded in that was slices various fuits and finally drizzled about them was white chocolate.
"It's amazing the power that making sweets has. I feel completely better now!" I said with my old cheerful self.
"That's good, it was a bit worrying how you so out of it." Andou-kun said happily.
"It's late, so me and Andou will be leaving." Hanabusa was standing by the door while he said that.
Me and Kashino had scheduled a tempering tutorial afterword so we stayed there longer. Our sessions were, as usual, were sprinkled with Kashino's yelling. The strange thing is, this time every time he yelled he quickly softened his voice and gently corrected me. Is he trying to be less mean for some reason?
"Hey Amano?" Kashino asked me as we were getting ready to leave.
"Yeah?" I asked putting my books inside my school bag.
"Um, would you like to uh... hang out after school tomorrow?"
Eh?! Is he... asking me...on...a... date...? No, there's no way that the ever-so-popular Makoto Kashino would ask little me on a date... He probably means with the rest of the team. Yeah, with the rest of the team!
"Oh do you mean with Hanabusa-kun and Andou-kun? It's been so long since we've all gotten together since we arrived in Paris, we've all been so busy." I said trying to see if that's what he meant.
"Um... yeah, sure. Do you mind asking them for me?" He said looking down, his tone matching his facial expressions.
He looked disappointed, and he avoided looking at me... I wonder if he's still upset about this morning...I hope he'll stop being mad at me before we all get together tomorrow.
:- ~^~ -:
"Ichigo, wake up or you'll be late!"A perky voice calls out in my dreams. It seems so distant, what will I be late for? I don't remember...
"ICHIGO!" the voice yelled again
"Wah!"crash... Ouch that hurt.
"Oww... Vanilla, did you really have to yell so loud?" I asked my tiny best friend while getting off the floor, then dusting myself off.
"Maybe if you woke up faster, I wouldn't have had to yell so loud!" She said crossing her tiny little arms.
We both shared a laugh, and I quickly got ready.
"How come I didn't see you last night? Weren't you supposed to be back last night?" I asked popping on my school shirt and skirt, then straightening it out.
"That's what was planned, but strangely, there was an earthquake." Vanilla said with a scared/confused look on her doll like face
"Really? Is everyone okay?! I didn't know the sweets Kingdom had earthquakes." I said, concern laced through my voice.
"Yeah, only a few spirits got hurt, but there weren't any major injuries. But, there hasn't been an earthquake for nearly a thousand years. That's the strange part about this whole thing."
"Wow, and this happen just last night?"
"Actually no it didn't happen last night. It was the night before last, but we had to stay the next night to make sure it wasn't to happen again."
"Night before last... That...That was the night of that dream!" I exclaimed, eyes wide.
"What dream?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
I told her of the dream, or at least what I remember of it. Being taken away, and passing a green-eyed Kashino and a girl version of Hanabusa ,this is where Vanilla started laughing while trying to imagine a female Hanabusa and the burning sensation at the end. As well as waking up with the unimaginable uneasy feeling.
"Hmm, you know, they say that dreams can tell the future. Sadly, though, I don't know what the things symbolize." She said shrugging her shoulders.
Vanilla and I didn't talk about it for much longer because we soon navigated to new topics, and ones that were easier to talk about. Before I knew it, I was in the classroom. I looked over to see Hanabusa and Andou in their seats, so I ran over to my seat next to them.
"Good morning!" I said cheerfully.
"Good morning." Monotone voices replied to me.
"Hey, you guys aren't busy on Friday are you? I want us to get together again like before."
"Oh, did Kashino ask you?" Hanabusa asked, a little bit of venom laced through his voice, as well as boredom.
"Huh? Yeah, how did you know? He asked me to ask you guys." I said my smile never fazing, unlike my voice.
"I'm sorry; Ichigo-chan, but we're busy Friday." They both said at the same time.
"Aw, what are you guys doing?" I asked flopping into my desk.
"Um... there's a new student and we were asked to be their guides." They said after a medium pause.
"Really? I don't see why they need both of you..." I said trailing off; sadly think about how they never really hang out with me and or Kashino any more, almost like they don't like us anymore.
"Well, Ichigo-chan, there's... two of them, so they thought it'd be fair for there to be two guides." Andou said looking back down onto his paper that lied on his desk. My green haired friend fallowed his actions.
"Oh, this school doesn't make sense sometimes ha-ha!" I laughed a little sheepish laugh.
At this point Kashino was sitting in his seat staring dumbfounded...
Kashino, sometimes I really don't get you...
"Everyone, we have two new students joining our class." the teacher said, snapping us out of our conversation.
The students are in our class?! Oh, this will be so much fun!
"They're from Japan so there may be a few communication difficulties, but they should know enough French to get by, so make sure you treat them well."
They're from Japan too! I can't wait to meet them.
"Please come in now."
First to come in was a short girl with large hazel eyes. Her hair was waving and a dark forest green and it reached down her back. She seemed to be carefully surveying the room. Next was a boy with dark green eyes that avoided looking at the class, and instead looked at the wall next to him. His hair was bright blonde, so bright that it was hard not to notice. He also had the same wave as the girl next to him.
"Hi! My name is Midori Hareo, and this is my twin brother Katsuo! He's a little shy so he won't say much, but I on the other hand will talk your ear off, steal it, and put in a box with all the other ears I've talk off!" She said with a bright smile.
I don't know why but these people look so...naw there's no way.
~The End~
Me: You remember that scene where Kashino asked Ichigo out? Yeah, that was the scene that made me go crazy, I got upset and mad because Ichigo is far too oblivious... Oh, but my characters are here!
Timothy: I'm glad you were able to overcome your obstacle!
Me: … Timothy is too kind, I think I'll just have Chloe, she's fun! Yeah, that's right; I think the mean type is fun.
