Well anyway ^^; I'd better let you all read the next chapter. Oh and did you all enjoy Dan introducing the last chappie? If you did, great!

"Julie! There are some customers that have just come in the café, can you go over to them and take their orders?"
Julie turned around and looked at Runo, "Oh sure! Let me just give these peeps their drinks first!" She happily called back, before putting the glasses down and zooming over to the new customers. Runo walked over to Alice, who was sitting behind the counter, putting some money in the till. "Julie's become really happy, hasn't she?" She said, "I mean, she's always been happy, but ever since she's started dating Shun, it's like she's on cloud nine." Alice laughed, "Well I suppose being with him has made her happy," She smiled, "Which is a good thing, because none of us like it when she's sad. They're been together for three days now, and it seems to me like they are really happy together. Shun hasn't changed one bit, but I've caught him a few times giving her little kisses and cuddles. I find their relationship cute."
Runo smiled too, "Yeah, they're nothing like me and Dan," She replied before adding grumpily, "I told Dan that, and said that maybe we should start acting like a couple…he gave me a funny look and asked me if I was feeling okay." Alice shook her head, "Dan will never change." She said. Meanwhile, Mira was working alongside Julie, helping her take orders, "You seem to really enjoy working here," She commented, as they made their way to the kitchen, to tell Mr Misaki the orders, "You like interacting with the customers, don't you?" Julie nodded, "I enjoy working here a lot, 'cause everybody's always happy!" She said cheerfully, "I mean, maybe you'll find a sour person or two, but I make it my aim and gaol in life to be like a little ray of sunshine, and brighten their day, by being as happy and bubbly as I possibly can!"
Mira smiled, "I'm guessing for you it's easy to be like that," She said, "Now you're with Mr Ninja and all." Julie gave one of her cutest smiles, and just nodded again. After giving Runo's father the orders, they were told that all of them could have a break. "But don't you need more help?" Mira asked, "After you cook the food, you'll need someone to take it out and serve it." Just as she said that Mrs Misaki entered the room. "Oh I'll be doing that," She said, "You girls go and enjoy your break, you've been working hard all morning." Mira and Julie ran out the kitchen and told the two other girls. "Great! Now we have a whole hour to do what we want" Exclaimed Runo, pulling her apron off, before opening the café door and running outside. All the girls decided that instead of meeting up with the boys, who were all out already, they would enjoy spending some time together.
Julie skipped down the street, while her three friends walked beside her, "So ladies, what do you think we should do?" She asked, linking arms with Mira, while Alice linked with Runo, "I don't know, my minds blank at the moment," Said Mira, "Have you got any ideas Alice?"
"Sadly no, I would say that we should get something to eat, but watching people eat in the café has made me feel full for some reason."
"Yeah I don't think any of us are hungry. I can never eat straight away on my break."
"Hmm, well since you guys don't have any ideas, why don't we go shopping?"
A loud moan followed after that suggestion, making Julie jump, "I was waiting for you to say that," Said Runo, "You just can'thelp yourself, can you? You REALLY like to shop!" Julie put a hand on her hip, "Actually Runo, I don't like to shop, I LOVEto shop!" She stated, wiggling the finger of wisdom, "Besides, you haven't got any better ideas, so why not roll with mine? It doesn't have to be tedious, we can make it fun!" After begging, pleading, and giving puppy eyes, the girls finally agreed to do some shopping….'Julie style'.
She grabbed them all and pulled them into the nearest clothes store she found. "God didn't create clothes shopping to be boring," She said, scanning through some skirts that were on some hangers, "It was created to be fun! You just gotta know what you're looking for, and what colors will suit you and what colors won't. Example-" She seized hold of Alice's hand and thrust a dark green pleated skirt against her legs, "This color does not compliment Alice…but this-" She pulled out a cherry pink strapless dress, "Would suit you soooo much! Actually, I think you should buy it Alice."
Julie then ran over to Runo and pulled her into a changing room. Mira and Alice heard what sounded like squabbling, before the curtain got flung to the side, revealing Runo in a white low shouldered shirt that had a cute baby tiger on it, with a mint colored skirt. "Now this is soooo cute, and it suits you, like, soooo much Runo!" Julie gushed, "And with a few accessories, Dan could be BLOWN away!" Runo looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Mira was the last to be dragged towards the changing room, "Stay in here while I pick you a cute outfit, okay Mira!" Julie yelled, before running out and heading towards a dress she'd seen. She then skidded back to Mira, and soon opened the curtain, for Alice and Runo to see. Mira wore an orange colored puffy summer dress, with two brown bangles on her wrist.
"Now this suits you a LOT Mira, plus it shows you're a Subterra Brawler, so high five!" Julie said, "You look wicked! Gorem would be so proud of me!" After a while all the girls got the hang of it, and as they walked from shop to shop, the amount of bags they held began to increase. "C'mon, let's go and have a quick break and get something to drink," Said Runo, "I'm starting to get a bit thirsty." They all found a Starbucks, and decided to sit on the outside tables. Alice got a coffee, Mira got a latte, and Runo and Julie got a hot chocolate. "Look at all us, being all grown up, like," Julie giggled, "This reminds me of the way my Mom is with her girlfriends. After doing some shopping, they'd sit down at some coffee place and have a gossip. I used to hate it, and Daisy would have to take me off somewhere and get me some candy to keep me happy. But now, Daisy and me go and meet up with our girls and do exactly the same thing!"
As the girls chatted and laughed, Julie felt someone put their hand on her shoulder and cough. Turning around, she saw the browny-black haired guy from Runo's café that she'd served a few days ago. "Umm hey, I saw you chilling with your friends, so I thought I'd say 'hey' and see how you were doing." He said smiling at her. Julie smiled back, "Oh hiya! It's nice seeing you again!" She exclaimed, "Yeah me and the girls are on a break right now, so we thought we'd do some shopping." He nodded, "Yeah I can see that. Have you used the money I gave you on anything yet?" He asked, pleased when she said she had. "Well, I gotta go now. I just wanted to say hi like I said." He turned to walk off, before Julie grabbed his hand back, "No, you can stay with us if you want!" She said, "We'll get you an extra chair, so you can sit with us."
He turned back around again, "I'd love to stay with you girls, but I've left my friends to come over to you, and I don't think they'll be impressed if I left them to be with you." Julie rolled her eyes, "They can stay with us too! Where are they? Call 'em over." He did, and Runo coughed up her hot chocolate when three, seventeen to eighteen year old guys walked over to the table. "Oh my gosh, they're so like…..wow!" She whispered to Mira, "Especially the one with the spiky black hair!" Mira wasn't hearing a word she'd said, and just continued to smile at a blonde haired green eyed guy, that smiled back.
Julie gaped, "Woooow umm, I didn't see that one coming!" She laughed, "But okay then! Why don't we just go and do something else, we're almost finished our drinks?" He nodded again, and soon they were all back in the shopping mall, "I don't suppose you like shopping," Julie said, "I don't want you to feel like you gotta stay with us if you don't want to."
"Oh don't worry Julie, Me and the boys don't mind at all."
"Hey, you like remember my name? You must have a good memory, I don't think I know yours."
He gave a small laugh, "Yeah you don't, do you? Well, my names Sam." As Julie talked to Sam, Runo, Mira and Alice had made some new friends too. Runo was talking to the spiky black haired boy, named Matt, while Mira talked to the blonde haired guy, whose name was Jamie. Alice had begun talking to a tall light brown haired guy named Alex, and he seemed to like her very much. They all went into a shop, and the three girls were surprised at how normal Julie acted whilst shopping with all the boys there. Runo went over to her, "How can you act so casual while you're looking at clothes, when there are four guys in here watching what you're doing?" She asked, watching Julie put a pink top up against her chest. "It's probably cause I'm used to being with boys while I shop," Julie replied, "I go shopping with Billy and his friends a lot, plus I got boy cousins that I take with me sometimes, so I'm used to it."
The girls soon found an advantage to shopping with these 'older teens', The ALL wanted to buy the clothes for them. Alice had been staring at a violet blouse, and Alex saw her, "Do you want that?" He asked her, "I'll get it for you, if you want." Alice looked at him in surprise, "Oh no, no, it's okay! I was just looking." She said, but he shook his head, "No, I'll buy it for you I have no problem with doing that." He said pulling out his wallet, "Go and get it and bring it to me."
Runo was experiencing the same kind of thing, as Matt had grabbed a dress she was looking at, and was now standing at the counter paying for it. "You really didn't need to do this for me, I wasn't planning on getting it." She told him, going red. He side smiled at her, "Naa Runo, I know you wanted this dress. If you didn't, you wouldn't have started sighing and stuff when you saw the price."
Julie watched all of this and giggled, "Your boys seem to have picked out their favourites," She said to Sam, "It's too bad that they all have boyfriends." He looked at her, "Let's just let them think that they have a chance," He said, before winking at her, "So what about you? Are you single…..meaning I've got a chance?" Oh gosh! You mean he likes me? He's been flirting all this time, and I haven't realised it? She smiled awkwardly at him, "Sorry, but I've got a boyfriend too." She said, "I didn't realise that you was umm…you know." He shook his head, "Don't worry about it," He smiled, "I don't mind if you want us to be friends."
After a while Runo looked at her watch and gasped, "Girls we need to get back to the café, like, RIGHT NOW!" She said, "We're so late! We've been out almost two hours!" The girls thanked the boys for the stuff they'd bought them and said goodbye, before zooming off to the café. When they got there, Mr Misaki just laughed, "I knew you girls would be out longer!" He said, "Never mind, you're here now." As they got their aprons back on, Runo grinned at them, "Well I can say that even though there's no chance of me being with Matt, I can't help but say it felt nice being spoiled by him!" She said, "He's a nice guy, but for some reason, I'm gonna stick with Dan."
Mira nodded, "Jamie was really sweet, but….I feel like Ace is more on my level." Alice put her hair back in a band, "I'm grateful that Alex got me that blouse, but I'm just not interested in a relationship at the moment." She said, "I did hear you say to Sam that we had boyfriends already, Julie. And I suppose you said that because you knew we were not really thinking of them in 'that' way. I also heard him asking you if you were single too." Julie nodded, "In all truth, I didn't realise he was into me," She said, "But even if I did, it's not like I would have flirted with him. I'm with Shun and I'm more than happy to stay with him."
Alice smiled, "It seems to me that he is 'the one' for you." She said, "I'm happy for you Julie. Come we'd better get out this kitchen and start serving people." They all walked out of the kitchen, and Julie sighed happily. Todays proved it…my feelings for Shun are real…and I'm glad they are…he's definitely the one for me…today was almost like a test to see…and I passed it, yay!
