Fuuko stared out of the window of the limousine. Joker had picked her up right on the dot, at three thirty that afternoon. Funny, Aki seemed all too giggly when they picked her up. Fuuko pushed the thoughts of what and where exactly they had been doing the rest of the day.

She really didn't need the extra clutter of thoughts on her mind, especially after what Mi-chan had just told her. . .

After their lunch, Tokiya and Fuuko took another stroll. They had originally planned to go back to the school, but on the way, they passed another one of those amusement parks. Mi-chan didn't even try to resist, so they ended up walking around in the almost empty park.

"No wonder it's empty," started Mi-chan. "The amusement park business is really getting old and most of the youngsters these days would rather hang-out in the mall."

Fuuko could only nod as she looked around the spacious place. She looked at her watch, and it said 1:15 in the afternoon. Good, more time to get to have some fun. She looked around once more and one specific cart caught her gaze.

Mi-chan sweat dropped when he saw what had caught Fuuko's fancy. "Figures that you'd spot the cotton candy cart in less than ten seconds," he said to no one cause Fuuko had already started walking -- or running -- towards the cotton candy booth. With no other choice, he shifted the thick physics book onto his other hand and followed.

After paying for a huge pile of cotton candy, Fuuko walked beside Mi-chan for a while, silently feasting on the said sweet. The silence was broken when she passed by the Mirror House, and stopped to look at it.

"Funny," she started. "It seems like only yesterday since you and Recca had that stupid fight in the other Mirror House down town."

"Oh, please," Tokiya said, rolling his eyes. "Don't get all reminiscent and teary-eyed on me, monkey. It's not really that long since I kicked Recca's butt."

"Yes it has been that long," Fuuko replied a little bit too hotly. "That particular theme park has moved to another town. Besides, if I remember correctly, you were all bloodied up yourself when you came home that afternoon." She started walking once again, putting a large piece of cotton candy in her mouth.

"Of course the theme park's moved, silly," Mi-chan said. "All carnivals do that, every two months or so. And yes, I was pretty messed up when I went home but no serious damage, really. Unlike the ones I inflicted on Recca."

"Boy, here comes Mr. Egotistic once again," she replied, rolling her eyes good-naturedly. "Hey, want to go on the rides?"

Tokiya Mikagami didn't even have the chance to reply, because as soon as Fuuko had popped the question, she had already dragged him towards the monster roller coaster ride ticket booth.

After screaming their lungs out on the first ride, they went onto three more rides, just as thrilling, then on the Horror House ride, where they rode with a bunch of women, and then they went on the roller coaster ride again.

Fuuko was still humming with energy, but Mi-chan had insisted on taking a break so there they were, sitting on those wooden benches, resting.

"Boy, Mi-chan, you scream like a girl!" Fuuko teased eager to get rid of the extra energy from the adrenaline rush by fighting.

"I do not, monkey," he retorted, mock glaring at her. "If I remember correctly, you were the one who was latched onto my arm on our last ride to the Horror House. Gods, you have such a tight grip, you cut off the circulation on my arm."

"What are you talking about?" she asked, utterly confused. "Not once did I touch you on any of the rides."

"That's impossible," Tokiya said, reflecting the same confused look Fuuko had on his face. "I swear that my right arm was sore because of the vicious grip."

"Right arm?" she repeated. "But I was sitting on your left. Oh, well, it was just probably one of those women that we were riding with."

Mi-chan's face contorted into a terrified state. "Those women were . . ." he trailed on.

"Old?" Fuuko finished for him with an amused smirk. "I know. Kinda surprised me that they were even admitted to the ride, with all those failing hearts and everything."

"An old woman . . ." he trailed off.

Fuuko patted her sempai's back. "Come on, you weren't raped or anything. Besides, could you really blame them? With that face, I'm actually kinda surprised that none of them gave you a kiss. ."

Tokiya visibly shuddered and Fuuko laughed.

After winding down for a bit, a sudden, random thought entered Fuuko's head.

"So, are you going to the Junior/Senior Prom?" she asked.

"I'm thinking about it," he replied, looking at her strangely. "Why, are you?"

Thoughts of Kurei entered her mind. "Err . . . I don't think so. Not this year anyway."

"And why not?"

Fuuko looked at him pointedly and smiled. "You know I can't tell you, not now anyways."

"I repeat," Mi-chan well, repeated in a somewhat regal voice, returning her pointed look. "And why not?"

Fuuko averted her gaze and stared at the blue sky, her lips curving into one of her rarer coy smiles. "Because, if I do, them gonna have to kill you."

Tokiya snorted. "Fine, if you want to play like that, I won't bug you any further," after saying this, he stood up and stretched his arms. "Well, don't you think that you've had enough rest by now? Come on we can still have another go on that waterfall thing ride."

"Yeah!" she replied enthusiastically, jumping up and dragging Mi-chan to the said ride.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, Ahem, they ended up doing a whole once over the theme park and getting on every single ride possible. Well, not the kiddy rides, Tokiya said that he wouldn't be caught dead in one of those. The maniacal look in his eye convinced Fuuko that he indeed was serious so she just backed off.

So they wandered back to the gates, stopping there to talk.

Fuuko looked at her watch.

"Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed.

"What?" Mi-chan asked her in concern. Fuuko felt his body tense up.

"Let's go back to the school!" she exclaimed, already running towards the said direction and dragging Tokiya with her. "I am so gonna be late!"

"Not that I'm offended by your enthusiasm for leaving my presence," Mi-chan started. "But why the hurry?"

"Long story, let's just go back."

"Fine."

They kept running until they reached their destination. Fuuko looked at her watch once again. Good, five minutes to spare. Not that she was expecting Joker to be punctual or anything, but it is always good to be early in one of these situations. Plus, she did have to get rid of Tokiya before they arrived.

"Err . . . isn't it already time for you to go?" she asked, turning to her companion. "I mean, don't you have some studying to do or cooking or whatever?"

Mi-chan raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you were trying to get rid of me, Kirisawa."

"No!" she replied her voice thick with sarcasm. "You don't say!"

Tokiya rolled his eyes when Fuuko put her hands to her lips and feigned a gasp. "Fine. It's one of the secrets of that conspiracy, right? Boy, Fuuko, honestly, the people you hang around with."

"You've just insulted yourself," she said. "You're hanging out with me right now, you know."

Fuuko was somewhat puzzled when Mi-chan didn't reply. She looked at him. He was looking at her in this weird way. The look actually reminder her of the one Kurei gave her the day before.

Funny how that little fact sent a very unwanted shiver down her spine.

Tokiya took her right hand in his, never breaking eye contact, and slowly brought it to his lips, where he planted upon it a sweet, short and chaste kiss. Fuuko felt herself blush and quite frankly, she didn't care that moment. What the hell was wrong with all the people she interacted with these days? Were they all abducted by weird aliens or something?

Mi-chan lowered her hand and covered it with both of his own. "See you tomorrow," he said mysteriously, turning his back towards her and walked away.

Fuuko was left standing there, beside the bench where Tokiya found her, with her mouth slightly open.

"That was sweet, what he did," a voice called from somewhere to her right.
