NYANNNN!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~
Once again, for yet ANOTHER update! Thank you all for your kind reviews and to all those who favorited!
This time I think I'll ask Nekkun! From The World Ends With You!!
Neku: Who are you?
Me: Aw, Neku! Your mission for today is to do the disclaimer. You have 10 seconds!
Neku: What? A timer?! Okay! Disney, TWEWY, and Fruits Basket all do NOT belong to hart-san.
Me: Thank you very much.
Neku: Sweet! The timer's gone! *walking off* Hey, Shiki! I finished a mission!
Me: Continue on, dear story!
And so, with my next group… we decide where to go next.
"I say we attack all of the Disneyland Mountains!" Blondie says. "Let's go to Space Mountain first!"
"No! That one's the most fun!" Uo-san says. "Shouldn't we leave that for last?"
"And it's also the farthest." Hana-san points out. "The Matterhorn is on the way, let's go there first."
"I went on there with Kakeru-san and Komaki-san already!" Blondie complains.
"After you ditched me and Machi, so let's go there. Then we'll go to Space Mountain." The president says.
"Fine!" Blondie pouts. We start walking, but the president and Blondie are walking a ways behind us.
"This ride is a problem, Yun-chan." I hear Blondie say, in a slightly serious manner.
"What?"
"You do remember how you're supposed to sit in the bobsleds?"
There's a slight pause. Then the president replies, "That might be a problem."
I wonder what the ride looks like, as we start to approach the line. It couldn't be that bad, could it?
We approach the ride, with a small line already there. We must be lucky or something, there are no lines to anything. It seems like a 10 minute wait, at most.
I see the ride, and I kind've realize that it is sorta embarrassing, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The annoying Souma seems to glance at her cousins a lot while we're in line.
"Okay! Who's going to partner up?!" Uo-san takes Kakeru's spot as leader for this ride.
"Machi-san?" I hear the annoying Souma ask. "Would you like to be mine and Kimi's partner? It's 3 to a ride."
"Oh, yes!" the super annoying one smiles. "Join us, Machi!"
"Okay." I say. "I won't be in the way?"
"Of course not! Machi is Kimi's friend!"
Since when was I her friend?
"And if you're Kimi's friend, then you're my friend too, right?"
"I guess…"
"Just call me Kagura!"
If I do that, then I'd have to call the annoying one by her name.
"All right, Kagura-san."
"Machi! Machi! Call me Kimi!" I knew it.
"Kimi-san.." I wonder why it was so hard to say…
"Yay!" Kagura-san cheers. "Yuki! You get to take Sakuragi-kun!"
"Who are you to tell ME where to go?!"
"Just listen to her, Nao." The president says to him. "She's almost as bad as Kimi."
"You take that back, Yun-Yun!"
"So you're the one who started the whole 'Yun-Yun' thing, are ya?" Uo-san says.
"It was a combination of me and Kakeru!"
"We need to thank him for coming up with such a cute name." Blondie says seriously.
"You be quiet, Momiji!"
And so a small argument begins. It's amazing how well everyone's getting along, since I'm sure this is the first time that Kimi met Blondie and Uo-san. I chuckle to myself quietly as the president karate chops Blondie and Blondie starts to scream "Yuki hit me!"
"Yay! I got to see Machi-san laugh!" Kagura-san smiles.
"I'm not laughing." I say quickly, looking away.
"It's completely okay. Nobody's judging you, Machi-san."
"Really now?" As if I didn't know that.
"Of course! Because no matter how badly one acts, there's always someone who'll forgive you." Her smile turned a little sadder, so I get the feeling that she's speaking from experience.
"I understand…" I can't think of anything else to say.
"Oh! Oh! Have you met Kyo-kun yet?"
I shake my head.
"You really need to meet him! He's really nice!"
I nod.
"Come on, you two!" I look up to see the president telling the worker how many and Kimi-san waving us over.
So we sit in the front bobsled and I get the very front, with Kimi-san in the middle and Kagura-san in the back. The ride moves into a mountain and once again starts the slow ascent.
I try and distract myself from how high it feels like we're going by watching a giant waterfall on the left side of the cavern. Disney is simply amazing when it comes to these rides.
"Don't worry, Machi-san!" I hear Blondie's voice in the car behind us. "This ride really isn't that bad!"
"I'm okay." I yell back to him.
"Just making sure, I know that you're sca-"
"BE QUIET!" I scream back, cutting him off. "I said that I was okay, Mo-"
And then the ride starts… and we twist and turn down the track. It isn't as fast as I thought it would be, but once again I'm filled with the feeling of fun that I'm not really used to.
But then-
"RAWR!!!!" We pass a monster thingy that's all white and I let out a small squeal before stopping myself.
"There's another one up ahead, Machi-san." Kagura-san warns.
And she was right… and even with the warning I screamed again.
And so the ride's over… again faster than I expected or wanted it to be.
"Aw…. It's over already!" Uo-san says. "Let's go one more time!"
"Yes. Let's." Hana-san starts to walk towards the line again.
"We're supposed to go on Space Mountain next, aren't we?" the president interjects. "So lead the way, Uotani-san."
"Fine…" and she starts walking off towards the place with the weird futuristic-like things where we ate lunch.
I'm walking alone behind them, listening to the small conversations that everyone else is having around me.
"So maybe we can sneak some churros if we hurry." Hana-san's whispering to Uo-san.
"You know you loved it, Chibi-suke!" Kimi-san's teasing Sakuragi-san while Kagura laughs.
"Did you hear Machi's squeal when we got to the monster, Yuki?"
Blondie is NOT talking about me.
"Yeah… I think the whole ride heard it."
"Wasn't it adorable?"
Blondie does NOT want to get killed in his sleep.
"Um… I guess so." The president turns around to glance at me, and I pretend to be checking my phone.
"Aw, Yuki! You're turning red!"
Blondie will NOT talk about me anymore.
"I am?! You're such a liar, Momiji!"
"I'm not lying." He starts to laugh. "I thought it was really adorable."
Blondie did NOT just say that….
"Are you serious?"
They stop walking. I have to pretend that I didn't hear them, that I don't hear them do I just keep walking? Ahhh! I don't want to get dragged into this!
What if I just run into one of them, like I wasn't paying attention? That'll work, right?
The others are way ahead of us, and for some reason this road is completely empty save for the three of us.
I start to text Kakeru about my Matterhorn ride experience, just for fun and to have a reason not to look up. I look up for a second as I hit the send button and the pair are facing me. I look down to text some other random person.
"Machi, you should look where you're going. You might-"
I run into Blondie and I almost trip. I chose the wrong instant to be clumsy. He catches me, but the next second… he's gone.
"Machi!" the president is at my side. "Are you okay? I told you to look where you're going!"
"Where is he?" I look around me. Blondie disappeared. I pick up some clothes. "This is his jacket. Where is he?"
"This isn't good." The president is repeating. "This isn't good at all. Dammit!" he gets out his phone and starts to call someone.
"President! Please tell me where he is!" This is just like what happened on the Haunted Mansion ride. What's going on here?!
"Yuki…there's really no point in hiding it." It's Blondie's voice. I shuffle through the clothes, where I heard it. "It was already too late when you transformed on that ride you guys were stuck on."
I find something that I wasn't expecting at all: A completely blonde rabbit. I stare at it for a second before it registers in my head. There's just something about it. But… that's impossible!
"Blondie?" I stare at it, half hoping I'm in some sort of weird dream or I was just being crazy. "Is that you?"
There you go! After days debating whether or not I should allow Machi to find out about the family secret or not, I finally decide to let her know.
What was also hard was whether or not I should make her call him Blondie out loud, or it be her personal nickname for him in her thoughts.
And also, I came up with a timeline for the story, I just know that it's before volume 20, when Momiji gets freed. But it has to be after Momiji starts to dress like a boy, in Volume 19. So there's the time frame… I don't know how that would work, but oh well.
More notes, there's a lot today, I'm sorry! Kagura's talking about how Kyo forgave her for only loving him out of pity, in case you didn't get that.
Um…why is it like there's no people there on a weekend? Because having a packed day at the park would make life very hard on me as an author and I couldn't put in dramatic scenes like this.
So there you go. If there's anything else that you think needs to be clarified… please tell me. This was written at like 3 in the morning so my brain is FRIED.
Please comment and rate, because your feedback makes ME a better person.
