Kala: Okay, so I know that I said that I was gunna only update once a day… for a few days. But the last chapter… well… I finished typing it so I just had to post or it would bug me. (OCD… I guess I have a little of it).

Nagi: That's great. :P So any messages about this chapter?

Kala: No… just that it's gonna be horrible like the rest. Oh wait, it's super-short (sorry 'bout that) and I didn't update yesterday, so... oh well!

Rima: The rest weren't horrible.

Kala: *points* What's wrong with her? Why is she being nice? I'M SCARED, MOMMY! HOLD ME!

Nagi: 1- I told you, mood swings. She's most likely PMS-ing. 2- I'm not your mommy. 3- The rest WEREN'T horrible.

Kala: You lie.

Nagi: What? They weren't.

Rima: *once again assumes ball form*

Kala: No, about the you're-not-my-mommy thing.

Nagi: Rima! Again? Must you do this every time we mention PMS-ing.

Kala: *whisper whisper* I knew it! She is.

Nagi: Ughh… just leave her alone.

Kala: Fine.

Rima: I'm okay now!

Kala: *glare* Oh… what made you all bettur?!

Rima: (_( )_) Nothing… now, the honors, please?

Kala: Hold up—

Nagi: Kala does not own Shugo Chara! or any of its characters.

Kala: Harumph.

Rima: OFF DA HOOK! :D

Chapter 9: UMBRELLA!


*Nagi's POV*

After the reason-less surprise party, we all walked back home. When the time came where everyone went their separate ways except for Rima and I, I was afraid it was going to be awkward, but also glad that I would have some time to spend with her considering I wasn't at school... or at least, not with her.

Everyone said their goodbyes and Rima and I walked towards our houses.

"So, did that surprise party really have no reason behind it?" She asked me once we had gotten a few feet away from everyone else.

"Honestly, yes... and it was Amu's idea. So don't blame me for the stupidness of the whole thing." I told her.

"Wow." Rima paused, then continued. "I've never heard of a surprise party with no meaning AT ALL..." she trailed off.

"Well, now you have." I told her and we laughed.

A few minutes of silence passed by slowly.

"You know... we can still act like we're friends, but have something more. I mean, just because we're going out now doesn't mean things have to be awkward." I told her to break the silence.

"Friends with benefits, is what you're saying?" She guessed. She was wrong... I didn't want any of that crap.

"No... not like that. Just that things don't have to be awkward. We can still joke around and stuff." I corrected her.

"Oh. Yeah, I know."

"Okay..." I said, now that that was cleared up, I was gunna change the subject. "Let's play a game."

"THE game? The one you just lost?" She said playfully.

"I hate you so much." I told her. "No. Okay... here are the rules. The way to win the game is in the name of the game. The name of the game is umbrella." (A/N: Joehhh! Remember this?XD) She glared at me. "That's all you need to know."

"Um, alright..."

"Mkay, is it... the street light, your shirt, or... that bench over there." I pointed to a bench a few meters away.

"My shirt." She said, obviously looking into the game much too far.

"Wrong. Okay, my turn. Just pick three random items." I explained to her.

"Uh... is it that flower, your hair, or me?" She listed the items.

"Um, the ground." I said. I was right... "I got it."

"No you didn't. It was your hair." She tried to argue back.

"No, no. It's not like a mind-reading game... it's more of a you're-gonna-be-so-frustrated-that-you-didn't-understand-this-game type of game. I had a right answer, Rima. Here, do it again."

"Okay. Is it the sky, the stars, or the moon?" She listed, looking up at the sky all the while, then turning back to me.

"UM, the flower over there." I said, pointing to a daisy in the grass. "That would be right."

"Okay... can I try again?" She asked.

"Sure," I said, then continued. "Is it that house," I pointed to a house. "That house," I pointed to another house. "Or that house?"

"Um... your shoes." She said, looking at my dirty dark blue converse.

"WHOO! You win." I said with a smile.

"I get it, the way to win the game is in the name of the game... umbrella."

"Mhm. It took me like 10 times to get it when someone first explained it to me. And, it works better when there's more than two people."

After that we just played around until we had to each go a different way.

Once again, departure was a little awkward. We hugged, said goodbye, all that cheesy stuff. Well, it might seem cheesy, but it's really not.

*****

I had a feeling something was going to happen tonight... just a hunch. Stupidly, I ignored my hunch.


Kala: SORRY! That's all there is for this chapter, you'll just have to wait and see what happens that night!!

Nagi: I has a hunch! ;3

Rima: Pervert.

Nagi: WHAT?! I had a hunch... like a feeling something was gunna happen.

Rima: That's not how you said it.

Rima & Nagi: *get energy thingy between heads*

Kala: That's not a good sign... *creates blockade between Rima and Nagi*

Nagi: Thanks for saving me... *hugglez*

Kala: *push* Get. Offa. Me. :l

Rima: *keels* GET. OFFA. HER!

Nagi: *neglected* So would you rather me hug you, Rima? ;3

Rima: *sweat drop* Maybe... (_( )_);;

Kala: Moving onnnn... I'm planning like four more oneshots... and one's a crossover! :3 I might post it today if I can get it done.

Nagi: But you JUST started the crossover one.

Kala: SO? I wrote Marry Me in one day. But... it is kinda short. This one will definitely have to be longer, considering what happens...

Rima: What two series is it gonna be?!

Kala: Shugo Chara... and... you'll just have to wait. ;3 Mwahahahaha.

Rima: Ughhh!

Nagi: Patience, Rima... patience. *pats head*

Nagi: *starts dancing like Rick Astley* Never gunna give you up, never gunna let you downnn, never gunna run around and desert you! Never gunna make you cry, never gunna say goodbye, never gunna tell a lie... AND HURT JOOOOO!!!

Rima: Oh wow, I never knew he had that in him...

Kala: ANYWAY! R&R, everyonezz. Also, 69. That is all.

Nagi: You want us to... 69?!!

Kala: WHAT?! NOOO!! I never said that. WTF NAGI. Pervert.

Rima: Don't mind him... he takes everything that way.

Kala: Just like me...

Nagi: WHASSAT?! SAY THAT LOUDER.

Kala: Kthnxbai! (Btw; did you notice there's more intro and all dat than there is story? That's fucked up, I tell ya.)
