"Moo..."
"Just look at her."
"Heehee, she doesn't know what's coming!"
"Course she doesn't, she's sleeping, you idiots."
"She looks so peaceful..."
"No one asked for your opinion, Rod!"
"Who asked for yours, then?"
"Are you sure this is okay, Michelle? What if we prank her too hard?"
"She can handle a little whipped cream! She can't be that weak!"
"She's right, whipped cream never hurt anybody!"
"I want some whipped cream..."
"Feli, you always want any edible thing you see!"
"Who'll do the honors?"
"I'll do it."
"You wish! I'm going to do it!"
"Don't start now..."
As Rose slept, she felt something tickle her nose.
"Ah...Achoo!"
Her sneeze made her quickly sit up and her face landed into a plate of whipped cream.
SPLAT!
"Aww, man!"
Everyone laughed as Rose whined and wiped her face.
"Ooh, whipped cream!" She then licked her fingers and looked up to notice Michelle holding the plate and Allen holding a feather he used to tickle her nose. The feather was a bright blue.
"How's that for a good morning?" Michelle asked, giggling.
"Very delicious!"
"Good morning, Princess." The hair stylist gave the farmer a warm smile as he wiped some whipped cream off of her face. "Missed a spot."
"Heehee, good morning, Allen!" Rose giggled and grinned widely.
"You guys, I'm going to open the presents now!" Felicity announced as she headed over to a table with wrapped gifts on top of it.
Tina's gift turned out to be a basket full of fruits.
"Hey, you have to watch your diet too, you know!"
"Okay, last gift!" Felicity then looked over to see the Angler Fish Stew Rose made for her.
"You didn't!" She exclaimed as she ran over to the farmer and hugged her.
"I did!" Rose hugged her back.
"Thank you soooo much, Rose! I'd marry you if I could!"
"I told you she'd say that!" Michelle giggled and leaned forward, her hands on her hips.
"In fact, I'll eat it right now for breakfast!" Felicity headed over to the kitchen and took out a spoon. She then began eating quickly.
"If we had an eating contest, Feli would win hands down!" Tina giggled.
"How does she eat so quickly?"
"Dunno. That's just how much she loves food!"
Everyone got ready and were saying their goodbyes.
"I'm looking forward to the next sleepover already!" Michelle grinned.
"When's the next sleepover, anyway?" Rose asked, eager for the next sleepover as well.
"The twelfth of Summer, Tina's birthday!"
"Sounds like it's going to take a while until that comes along."
"Don't worry! Time'll fly by reaal quickly!"
"Did you see how happy Iroha was during the sleepover?" Tina joined in.
"Maybe it's because Neil came this time!" Felicity grinned. "Didn't you know, Rose? Iroha really likes him!"
"She does?"
"You have no idea how long she's liked him!" The magician stated as she watched the blacksmith chatting with the animal dealer.
"She's liked him...long before you came, Rose...She still hasn't...given up for some reason..." Yuri added.
"Oh..."
"Don't act like you weren't happy too, Yuri! We saw you chatting with Allen!" Tina giggled.
The fashion designer became flushed and turned away.
"W-well..."
"Speaking of boys...You got anyone in mind, Rose?" Michelle asked mischievously.
"Wh-what're you saying?"
"Come on, you can tell us! We promise not to tell anyone!" Tina stuck out her pinky.
"She won't tell...when that's coming from you...Tina..." Yuri added, a slight blush on her face.
"Yeah, Tina! Might as well tell the newspaper carrier who you like!" The magician huffed.
"Hey, I've already done my share of telling you guys I like Rod! Besides, you've already told me who you like, what's wrong with Rose telling me?"
"The thing is, Tina, that after we told you who we liked, you published it on the newspaper..." Felicity pointed out, a worried expression on her face. "We wouldn't want Rose to feel the embarrassment we did..."
"I only came here during the beginning of this season, too..." Rose added.
"Don't you believe in love at first sight?" Michelle asked.
"Allen obviously does. He even took Rose out on a date the same week she came, too!"
"Ooh!" Michelle, Tina, and Felicity whooped and giggled.
"It's called a chat!" Rose crossed her arms and blushed.
"Speaking of Allen and Rose...Did you see that kiss?!" Tina laughed.
"Speaking of that kiss...Did you see how Neil flipped out after?!" Felicity added, laughing as well.
"Hey! I planned out the whole thing, so I should get some credit! It's obvious Allen has the hots for Rose! He should thank me!" Michelle huffed; however, she was slightly giggling.
"Maybe...he doesn't like her...He just wanted to...make Neil jealous...?" Yuri joined in, a slight ache in her chest.
"Ooh, what if Neil likes her?"
"G-guys, just...just stop..." Rose said in a serious tone.
"We're sorry, Rose..."
"I guess you're just not used to the way we talk..."
"We were just teasing, you know. You'll get used to us eventually..."
"It...took me a long time...to get used to them, too..." The fashion designer admitted.
"Well, I'll see ya later, girls! I've got some newspaper carrying to do! The sleepover sort of backtracked the job, so I'll be going!" Tina waved as she left.
"I have to go get ready for work, too."
"I have to go and perform for Clement, too!"
"I'm...going to go..."
Rose waved to the other girls as Rod walked up to her.
"W-well, today's S-Sunday...I'll go and get ready, okay? I'll come pick you up by then!"
I totally foreshadowed in the beginning of the chapter when Rose was being pranked! If you haven't noticed it, just keep reading the part after everyone's dialogue and you'll find it out! I can totally imagine the girls having this kind of chat about boys and then guessing who likes who! If you can't already tell, this fanfiction's going to be a long and slow one! Well, as always, reviews are highly appreciated and ideas are accepted! ^^
