Unexpected

"WHHAAATT?!?" I shouted in unison with Fuuko.

"Why not?" Yanagi said, glancing at Recca.

"Yeah... why not?" Recca asked as well.

"Uh, is there any other good enough reason other than, 'because we don't want to'?!" Fuuko replied, her eyes popping out and her hair in disarray.

"Hmm, I agree." I nodded my head as I crossed my arms.

"Come on, you guys! You, Mikagami-senpai, have nothing to do anyway, and you, Fuuko, you have to come! It's your senior prom!"

"Nnnooo." Fuuko and I shook our heads.

"Yanagi-chan, I understand what your saying but I have the right to make my own decisions, so plea---!!" Fuuko was cut off.

"Uh oh." Recca turned pale all of a sudden. We all glanced at Yanagi and our eyes grew wide. "Oh no..."

"H-hime, uh--- c-calm d-dow--!!"

"KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, RECCA-KUN!"

"H-hai!" Recca sweatdropped and crept away nervously.

Yanagi then turned to us.

"KIRISAWA FUUKO! You WILL attend YOUR senior prom!" She glared at Fuuko, who suddenly shrank.

"O-okay, Y-yanagi-S-san!!"

"And you, MIKAGAMI SENPAI!" She then turned to me. I never actually thought that the ever- gentle Yanagi could be such a frightening person when angry. "YOU will BE Fuuko's escort, GOT THAT?!"

I nodded nervously. "Ha-hai.."

We froze for a while waiting for Yanagi to calm down.

Finally, she did.

"Okay! Since we got that cleared up, let's go, shall we?" Yanagi smiled cheerfully and then went to the still petrified Recca.

We sighed in relief, still trying to forget the very scary Yanagi we just saw a while ago.



Finally calm, Fuuko then turned to me.

"So, I guess we have to go, huh?"

Finally, I was ready.

It was Seven forty, only twenty minutes before the prom started. I was wearing a long sleeved polo shirt and a coat, complete with a necktie. I was waiting for Fuuko to go downstairs so I sat myself on the couch and turned on the television.





I was channel surfing, having nothing interesting to watch and I was too anxious about the prom...

"Wow.. my second prom." I said to myself.

With the most beautiful gir--- What did I just think of..

I shook my head over and over again, trying to get that thought OUT of my head.

I turned off the TV and closed my eyes.

I waited in silence until..

"Mi-chan?" a soft voice from behind me said.

I turned around...

And what I saw was Fuuko.

She was wearing a simple lavender gown, held by thin straps over her shoulders. Her hair was tied in a loose half-ponytail and she wore little jewelry (small silver earrings and a matching silver bracelet.. doesn't Fuuko look nice?! ^___^) and she wore the lightest of makeups.



Such a mesmerizing sight..

I was in awe.

"Mi-chan? Are you okay?" Fuuko asked.

I shook my head out of the trance. "Uh.yeah."

"Are you sure?" I nodded. "Anyway, shall we go?"

"Yeah! Okay!" she replied.

****

It would have been a waste of good money to rent a limo that's why we took the taxi. He he.... Am I so cheap!

It took about fifteen minutes to get to Fuuko's school, which left us with five minutes before the prom started.

We sat together in silence in the cab. We both looked out of our windows and gazed at the objects outside.

It felt REALLY awkward...



We were passing by the park when Fuuko suddenly told the driver to stop.

"Excuse me, please stop the car!"

"Uh...okay..."

She stepped out of the car and I followed. I paid the taxi driver and he then drove away.

"Okay...why'd you tell the driver to stop here? In the park?" I asked.

She sat down on one of the benches. "I don't feel like going to the prom!"

I raised my eyebrows. " What?"

"Yeah,well..I know it's my senior prom but I don't feel like going at all!"

"Hmm..." I sat down beside her and sighed. "Good."

"What?" "I said, good. Let me tell you, senior proms are the most boring occasions." I smiled at her and then looked up at the sky.

A fountain was in front of us and a garden wedding was just a few meters away from us. There must have been a band because we could hear singing and there were violins, cellos, pianos, etc. and they were playing a fast song with a beat you can actually dance to.

I looked at Fuuko. She was looking up at the starry sky and seemed to be thinking of something.

I gazed at the fountain and watched the water fall and then once again go up.

At the moment, the band was now playing a slow song.

Then an idea came to my mind. I stood up and then turned to Fuuko.

"Ahem..do you wanna dance?" I asked, offering my hand to her.



She looked startled at first, but then smiled afterwards. "Sure."



She accepted my hand and then stood up. She put her left hand on my shoulder and she held my hand with hers.



And off we went, dancing slowly yet gracefully.





I knew this wasn't the prom, but I didn't care.

Everything seemed to be perfect at the time and for the nth time....



I fell in love again with Fuuko.
