HEY YOU GUYS! I'm kind of scared now, since 5 reviews popped up in one day. *Scratches head* Uhh, yeah. My homework just dropped to one textbook and one sheet! I'm so happy I could do the can-can properly! *cries* Soo, yeah.... Here it is! (Man, I'm updating quickly)
Cinderella:
...
The two princes stared into each others eyes, eyes narrowed.
"Hi, missed me?"
The two froze, and snapped their backs so uncomfortably that it made Anna cringe. She stretched her back, releasing the stress Mikan made. She sighed, "You guys were eavesdropping, weren't you?"
Silence.
"I knew it." Anna pinched the bridge her nose, sighing once more.
"We weren't eavesdropping, just being curious at what was taking so long." Natsume frowned, followed by the Diana prince.
"I'm rather impatient, and this room doesn't have any source of music. What's with that, anyway?" Ruka frowned, crossing his legs in an unmanly way. This was the reason why Anna first mistook him as a cross-dressing female at first, but soon realized she was a he. His posture was a bit too girly to say the least. His raven-haired friend just crossed his arms, and nodded.
"Apparently the bitches left with the Epod and it's speakers, so just bear with it. I assure you that you won't stay here for long any- Wait, did you just change the subject?"
Ruka shrugged, and reverted back to sitting with both feet on the ground, arm resting on an armrest.
Natsume looked at his golden watch in his left breast pocket, and frowned. "We only have 35 minutes until we have to leave, so please make this quick." He stuffed the watch back, and nodded to Ruka. The raven-haired prince looked back to Anna, narrowing his eyes. "And also, why doesn't she want to revert back to our kind of life? Investors would be more than happy to help a Sakura back into business, especially the female wonder. Hell, even my mother was a fan of their jewelry, so my family would help." He frowned again.
Anna sighed, and curtseyed slightly. "I'll go get Mikan and ask if she wants to explain. I'll be back." She ran out the door, but then quickly returned, positioning her hand into holding up her pointer finger. "Also, as a side note, this girl is more stubborn than me, so you'll have to tell her the truth, since it's the only thing that would make sense to her." She ran off once again.
"Crap, and I had a huge lie made up just for her." Natsume rubbed the outside of his eye.
...
~Cinderella~
"Mikan, the two are here. Shouldn't you greet them?" Anna put her hands on her hips. This sort of action from Anna was body language for I'm not that patient, and Mikan knew that. But she didn't want to talk, so she ignored the warning.
"No." Mikan sniffed, and stayed in her ball.
Anna frowned. Just because she didn't want to talk, doesn't mean she should have stayed here! Why did it turn out this way? "They know."
"What?"
Anna turned to look at the brunette in the eye. Her lips quietly spilled again.
"They know."
...
~Cinderella~
Mikan tapped her foot, arms crossed, and had a face on that gave the vibe of an impatient mother knowing that her kid just did something bad. The funny thing is, the situation was similiar to this.
"You were listening?"
The two princes nodded carefully, and Ruka went by Natsume's plan. He stood up, posture amazingly straight. "Mikan, I hope that you won't really be mad at us. We were just curious, that's all." His face made a rather guilty face, and the boy's eyes looked away.
The brunette felt herself giving in. Although her father used to be at the top of the world, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for the sad and unprotected. She wanted to do all she could for everyone, but even her entire family's fortune couldn't help everyone. Mikan bit her lip. Should she really give in?
Anna mimicked Mikan's little action. Was she really letting them go without telling them off first? Maybe it was because of pretty boy over there. Not to hard to comprehend, too.
Mikan sighed. "Fine. I'll forgive you guys. But on one condition."
Ruka felt a weight lifted off of his back, but then it plummeted back into his stomach. It's a wonder how that girl could easily ease her way out of his friend's plans.
"What is it?"
Mikan smiled, as she narrowed her eyes. The brown bangs that rested on her forehead were swept by gravity, as her chin rose, her entire head tilted to the right. The whole movement was done in one simple second, and Mikan licked her lips. "Invite me to your evening balls."
The two, including Anna, cocked an eyebrow. Was this really what she wanted?
She looked up and sighed. "Sorry if this seems corny, but I've always wanted to visit one. Ever since my father's disappearance, I had to serve as a servant until now. I do have decent dresses, so please, make it a request from the prince, and me and Anna would go." She really, really wanted to go, Anna and the others could tell. The brunette sighed and put on a longing face. She either missed her father of really wanted to go.
"Okay."
After hearing those words, she went to full happy-till-you're-crazy mode. She squealed, "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" She hugged the two as tightly as she could individually, and then kissed them both on the cheek, Natsume first, and Ruka soon after. Natsume and Ruka was surprised at her actions, and the latter blushed at the kiss, while the former just awkwardly smiled and gently pushed her away.
"Mikan! They know about it. Aren't you going to say something?" Anna tried to talk to her, trying to have the two understand why they couldn't just snoop around like that, especially when the conversation is strictly private.
She stopped her hugging and kissing, and put on an expression, so sad, that it would make someone else cry. "Papa..."
Mikan stared at the window close to the door. The thing had all these ugly curtains that she wanted to rip off and place with white, flowy ones, even if "flowy" was a word. She sighed, and pinched her nose.
Anna was hoping for a scolding or an argument, but no, all Mikan came up with is this.
"Just don't do this again, guys."
Lucky bastards.
...
Wow. Short chapter if I do say so myself. Okay, I have a question for you guys:
How long do you want me to write the chapters?
So, I've read a couple of short chapter stories, but I've never got to see a lot of people happy about the long ones. How do I know? The number of reviews. One has like 500 reviews and has like 60 one page chapters, while the others have like around 5 or 10 reviews and there's only 3 really long chapters.
If I update more, will you be happy? 'Cause these types of chapters are really easy to write. I could update on a schedule with these kinds. Please tell me what you think in a review! Kays? ;)
