The red-headed girl sat leaned up against the boy sitting next to her, both of them breathing together, sharing a dream it seemed. Lina looked to her left to see them sleeping, and couldn't help but feel jealously, for it was painfully obvious how much they were in love with each other, it seemed that the only people who didn't realize their love was them. The blonde tomboy sighed as she closed her own eyes and lay her head back to join them in their slumber.

Almost as soon as Lina had fallen alseep, Meimi awoke, slightly startled that it was light outside, for she had only intended to rest a little bit and then to resume gazing at Asuka. She turned once again to her window and stared into the outside, sighing happily as she thought once again about where she was going to be in a few more hours. "Ok, maybe not a few more hours, a day or so", she thought excitedly. She blushed slightly as she remembered what had happened last night, how the moon was so incredible, how Asuka had been her angel, and how to just those few minutes, or hours, he was hers, and she was happy. Now that it was light outside the novelty of Jr's moonlit face had worn off, as there was now light everywhere and not just on him. She sighed again as she thought about him, the confession she planned to make, and the sleep that found her once again.

Asuka stirred a little bit in his sleep, chasing after a dream-Saint Tail, catching her and finding a love he never imagined before. Smiling, he sighed softly and opened his eyes ever so slightly only to see the one he had been dreaming of. The sun shined off of Meimi's hair, blinding Jr for a few seconds. Suddenly his smiles dissappeared when he realized that she wasn't just right next to him, but sleeping on him! Her hand had closed itself around his own and he felt his face go red hot, almost enough to make him let go, to get away from her as fast as he could. And yet he still let it there, smiling to himself, gently stroking her fingers that lay resting in his hand.

Looking out the window, gazing past Meimi for a second or two, Asuka notices that the signs have started showing up for their destination. Sighing he continues to look for other signs while still holding the girl's hand within his own.

"I wish I could hold her anytime, not just while she's asleep, but I know she hates me, maybe I should let go before she wakes up. That'd be a fight to remember...just what I need, some girl, no matter how breathtakingly beautiful, talented, and peppy that girl might be, thinking that I'm a weirdo who messes with girls while they're asleep." he thinks to himself as he takes his hand away from the red-headed goddess next to him. Asuka closes his eyes and lets his thoughts overwhelm him, hoping that maybe, just maybe, if he thought too much about Meimi, she might just leave his mind. Or just drive him even more insane that he already had been.

"He let go...he let go." the though reverberated in Meimi's mind, still trying to figure out why he would let go of her hand. Her hand felt almost cold, empty, in comparison to how warm he had felt and how wonderful it felt just to have some kind of contact with her love. As she started to come back into her senses, not quite sure why the thought of Asuka letting her hand go had been such a shock, she concluded that he probably just moved or woke up or something. Obviously he was mad enough to wake her up and start yelling, so she figured that it was ok. Or at least until they were both awake enough to yell.
The bus was slowly coming to a rather large parking lot, and as it found it's place in the line of vehicles, the students, the ones that were awake anyway, were in awe. Outside it was just a little bit overcast with a hint of rain-clouds in the sky. Although if it did in fact rain, there was no way that it would dampen any of the high spirits of the students in the bus, they had been waiting too long to let rain ruin their day, and Meimi especially wasn't going to let anything ruin her plan.

As the bus neared it's final resting place, or at least as close as it would come for the next day or so, the students were almost in a frenzy. Meimi, Lina and Seira were more than ready to get off of the cramped bus and walk around, they had been crushed in there for almost a good 24 hours by now, and really needed to stretch.

"Hell of a ride wasn't it Seira?" Lina said as they stood up to grab their things to get off of the bus. In so doing she also managed to knock Asuka in the head with her backpack, waking him up.

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" he shouted as he almost fell off of the end of the long bus seat from the force of Lina's bag hitting him. He would have fallen if the red-head girl sitting next to him wasn't watching his every breath while he was sleeping.

"You're going to be fine, just stand up and get off the bus like everyone else is." Lina told him with a bit of an edge as she walked down the bus's aisle and down the stairs. Seira followed suit, trying to give Meimi some time to get onto Jr's good side for the day. It hadn't worked out as well as she hoped it would.

"Get your hands off of me Haneoka, I don't need your help" he said, still angry because he was awoken so violently.

"Well sorry Mr weirdo, maybe if you hadn't fallen onto me when you woke up, I wouldn't have had to get you off of me, huh?!" she tossed back. Of course she knew that she had in fact tried to help him but at least he wasn't mad at her, or as mad as he could have been, seeing as she had been caught red-handed trying to catch him.
"Whatever, let's just get off the bus, yes?" Asuka grabbed his bag somewhat violently and whipped it across his back so that it would stay, then trudged down the aisle of the bus, leaving Meimi to her own thoughts. They weren't bad thoughts, just slightly discouraging ones, but she had no intention of not following through with her plan, none what so ever.

The sky was clearing up a little bit as Meimi walked off of the bus, it hadn't started raining and by the looks of it didn't intend on starting until the next day, "Good," she thought as she reached the edge of the parking lot where her freinds and Asuka waited for her, "That means I would have to confess to him when we're both soaking wet, thats a plus.". She smiled as she neared them, and Asuka looked as if he wasn't mad anymore, which was good considering Rina was beating him over the head with her bag at the moment.

"Ow! OW! OW! Damnit! Why are you hitting me?!" he shouted, obviously annoyed with the blonde girl.

"Why is that every time a girl walks by you have to point her out to Sawatari?! You know he's going to go after them!!! Those poor girls!!!" she raged at him as she continued to beat him down for this alleged offense.

As she caught up to her freinds and classmates, they began to walk in the general direction of the park's entrance. Meimi giggled as she fell into step next to her best freind, Seira, who was obviously not very appreciative of the current situation. "Didn't succeed in your attempt to get onto his good side I take it? I heard you guys yelling at each other from outside the bus." she muttered to her freind.

"No, I didn't, it just seems like every time I try to be nice to him, he blows up at me, but this time was different, it was as it he wasn't mad at me for trying to help anymore, he was just tired or something. I think he's starting to wear down, and today's the day I'm going to do it for sure...no more putting it off." Meimi was dead-set on telling Asuka today while they were at this beautiful park just how she felt and how much she felt it. She was a little worried about coming on too strong, but then she told herself that this is how she was going to do it, and not any other way.

The students were beginning to gather in a line next to the entrance of the park, and the teachers were also beginning to hand out the tickets and assign partners for the day. Meimi was almost squirming with excitment, and also a touch of nervousness, she was worried that she wouldn't get paired with Asuka like she asked to be, and if that didn't happen, she wouldn't be able to carry through with her plan. As the both of them neared the front of the line of students, she became more and more worried, she thought that her heart was pounding so hard in her chest that it was going to explode. She really hoped that nobody could hear how nervous she was.

Then before she knew it she found herself in the front of the line, and watch herself get paired with Rina, and it seemed as if she were watching someone else walk away from Asuka and in to the park without him. Rina saw how sad her freind looked and when she asked what was wrong, Meimi could only sigh and say "It's not really important Rina, don't worry about, I'm sure we'll meet up in the park later". This made no sense to her as she listened to her freind babble about not being with someone.

Then it hit her, or course she was talking about Asuka! Why on earth would she be so upset if it wasn't him? He was the only person in the world that she knew that could made her normally cheerful happy-go-lucky friend turn into a zombie. This is when Rina knew that she had to do, and she knew how she was going to do it, a plan started to form in her head as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone, hopeing that Seria had her cell phone on her.
