Hey, you guys! I'm here again with yet another chapter of "Which One? Pick One?". Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter. Looks like I won't have to eat earthlings for dinner after all. ^_^ the setting for this chapter is the Sakura Festival. I'm not Japanese so if there's anything wrong, please be nice and tell me about it.
**NOTE:**
I need your vote, people! I need to know your choice on who you'd like Mina to be paired up with in the end. Please tell me if it's either Heero or Yaten when you review the chapters and if possible, a few reasons why you want that certain person. Thanks!

CHAPTER 2- Easy Come, Easy Go
"Ooohhh!!! Heero, get me some of those! And some of those ramen! And those caramel-covered apples! And those…"
"Woah, Mina! You better slow down. I don't even think you can finish all these even if I helped you," Heero said as he held up the assortment of foods they bought.
"Yeah, you're probably right. As always!" she teased.
The group separated into different clusters…by Ami's suggestion. "So we can see different sights that we'd like!" she had said. Makoto had teased the smart girl about wanting to be alone with Wufei. [OK, so it's kinda weird pairing up these two but I'm a strong believer in "Opposites Attract"] Her friend blushed and gave a dignified "No!" of protest.
It's nice to see everyone loosen up and see them smile once more. Her attention shifted to the shooting game nearby and she quickly dragged Heero to the booth.
"Oh, please, Heero," she said when he refused. "Pretty please with sugar and whipped cream and cherry on top!"
"Lady, it's like taking candy from a baby!" he reasoned out. "We both know I can shoot that target for the jackpot."
"Come on, Yuy! That stuffed cat is just soooo ccuuttee!" she pleaded as she tugged on his sleeve. "You have a real one. And nothing can beat a talking cat!" pointed out the boy. All too soon, he admitted defeat and paid the man for a turn. The moment her beautiful lips pouted, he just knew he had to give in. "YAY!" cried an ecstatic Minako.
He picked up the toy gun and aimed. I don't know why I let her talk me into this, he told himself. Mina was cheering behind him and he decided to let the first shot avoid the target. "That's too bad," consoled the man. "Two more tries, though."
"Heero!" wailed the girl. "You said you could do it!"
"I know and I stand by that fact."
"Then why did you miss?"
"Because I wanted to," he spoke as he loaded the toy gun.
"Nice excuse. I'd say you're getting rusty," irked his girlfriend. He paid no attention to her and aimed again. It didn't go anywhere near his target and he heard her groan. "You're doing it on purpose!" Minako pointed out. "I don't want the owner to feel bad about it," he indicated.
"Last one," the owner told him.
Say bye-bye to your jackpot, mister. He loaded, aimed…
"Minako!" At the sound of a male voice calling his girl, he quickly turned and saw 2 guys both with long hair and in formal suits. He saw her eyes brighten and she squealed in evident glee. "Seiya! Taiki!" she called and hugged both of them. "Since when did you come back?"
"About a few days ago," the one in the red suit answered. He noticed Heero standing beside the blonde and waved 'hello'. Heero's eyes narrowed even more and he didn't bother to wave back. "Who's your friend?" Seiya asked.
Mina looked at her companion as if she forgot his presence. "Oh, gosh! I'm sorry. Heero, this is Seiya and Taiki," she gestured to the two. "Guys, this is Heero Yuy, he's my…" but before she could finish, Seiya's phone rang.
"Hold on a sec," he said and conversed with the other person on the phone.
"Hey, Minako liste," Taiki piped in. "Yaten's off somewhere I just don't know where. I figure he's just shy to see you again. But he did tell me to ask you if he could talk to you after the performance."
"Oh, wow! You guys are playing? That's great!" she cried out.
"Yeah, so how about it?"
"Sure!" she answered. Just then, Seiya got off the phone and tapped his companion's shoulder. "We better get going," he said. "Sound check and all. We'll be playing in an hour. See ya!"
She waved them goodbye and Heero couldn't stop himself anymore. "Who are they?" he asked. "Some old friends whom I haven't seen for quite a while," she answered nonchalantly. "Come on. I better go tell the others."
"Wait, sir!" yelled the man at the booth. "You've still got one last shot!"
Heero grabbed the gun and aimed again, determined to end this as quickly as possible. "And who's Yaten?" he asked coolly. Keep both eyes open. Focus.
"Oh, no one in particular," she simply shrugged. "Just one of my major crushes way before."
He fired the last shot and…missed! What the…?! "That's okay, Heero," she said as if she didn't practically beg for it just a few moments ago. "We've got to tell the others fast! I wouldn't want to miss their act!"
He let her drag him to their friends and gather them all. Yaten, huh? Just who the heck are you?
