Chapter 5
I'll Make You See
Ran, Miyu, and Yamato spent the better part of the day making plans to get the two friends back together.
Yamato walked home with Ran. "I wanted to tell you that I think it's really great what you're trying to do," he said after they had dropped Miyu at home.
"What do you mean?"
"Trying to get those two boys to be friends again."
"I just feel like it's my fault."
"I know, but most people would just stick to the guy that they like and forget about it."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning Ran awoke to her cell phone going off.
"He-hello?"
"Ran? Did I wake you?"
"Nah, it's fine. What's up Yuuya?"
He paused for a moment. Ever since Ran had found out how he felt about her she had stopped calling him "Second Place."
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later today."
"Sure. What time?"
"How about noon or so?"
"Okay. I'll meet you near the police box."
"Great. See ya then."
Ran hung up her cell and stared at the ceiling. Had she just agreed to hang out with Yuuya after what she did yesterday?
"Well, he did call me. Maybe it means he's not mad at me."
Ran rolled over and decided to get somemore sleep before she had to get ready to meet Yuuya.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yuuya couldn't believe his luck! Ran had actually agreed to hang out with him!
"Maybe she does like me.. Or maybe she's just trying to ignore what happened yesterday."
He decided he'd go with the first of the two thoughts.
"I'll show her just how great I can be."
Unable to sleep, Yuuya decided that he would plan out their whole day together.
First they would go eat lunch at a nice restaurant. Then after that they would go Para Para for a while until it was time for a movie. After the movie he would take her shopping and buy her flowers. Or maybe a stuffed animal. Girls like stuffed animals, he thought. Then maybe, just maybe, he'd get a kiss.
His nose nearly bled thinking about his first kiss with Ran. He knew it would be wonderful. And then she would surely see what he meant to her.
"After today I'll no longer be just a nice guy! I'll be Ran's boyfriend!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yuuya got to the police box extra early because he didn't want to make Ran wait, and he was too excited to just wait at home. He was completely on cloud nine. He decided he would go through how their first kiss would go, just so he didn't screw up.
"I'll pull her into a close embrace and tell her that she has the most beautiful eyes. 'Oh Yuuya! You're so sweet to me.' You mean everything to me. I'll do anything for you. 'Oh Yuuya!' And then slowly I'll lean in, gazing deep into her eyes. 'Yuuya.' she'll whisper. Shhh, don't speak, I'll tell her."
Suddenly Yuuya noticed someone watching him. It was Ran's brother from inside the police box!! Yuuya slightly freaked out and waved, a large sweat drop hanging over his head.
I hope he didn't hear what I was saying, Yuuya thought.
"Hey! Yuuya!"
It was Ran! "Ran!"
"Did I make you wait long?"
She looked stunning in her summer dress covered in flowers, her hair done up in two buns, and extra cute sandals on her feet.
"N-no, not at all." He smiled. She looked so great! This had to be a good sign.
"Great! So what do you have planned?"
"I thought first we'd get some lunch, then play a bit of Para Para before a movie. Followed by dinner."
Ran's eyes gleamed at the thought of food. "What are we waiting for?"
Yuuya took her hand and lead her off to a small café that he had seen on his way over.
They talked about regular stuff while they ate. Ran kept far the conversation far away from Rei, thinking that Yuuya would be upset if she brought him up after yesterday.
After they were finished they walked to the arcade, but the Para Para machine was already in use, with a line no less, so they decided to play a different game. Yuuya picked out a shooting game, thinking Ran would be helpless on it and need his help to show her how to play.
Rather, it turned out that she was even better than he was! Yuuya didn't care so much they their roles were reversed, just so long as Ran was near him.
Then they went and saw a sappy love story movie, which both of them ended up hating so they left early.
Yuuya took Ran to a nice restaurant for dinner, where they had somemore time to talk. Some how the conversation moved to Tatsuki.
"So why did he break up with you Ran?"
"He said that he had found someone else, Mami Honda, and that I wasn't good enough for him. I guess he wasn't what I thought he was."
"Why did you go out with him in the first place? I mean you had only met him that day."
"He was fun to be around. I could laugh at him and he wouldn't mind. Plus he seemed like a nice guy."
"But?"
"But he wanted to rush things. I just wasn't ready for my first kiss, you know? No, probably not. I bet that you've had lots of girlfriends. I mean look at all those fans you have now a days."
Yuuya blushed. "Actually no. I've never kissed a girl. I wanted my first kiss to be with someone special, someone that I cared so deeply for that I would do anything for."
Ran smiled sweetly at him and then they got up to pay for dinner.
Once they had paid they again walked hand in hand through the shops. They talked about simple things, like Miyu and Yamato, as well as Aya. It was surprising to Ran that they didn't get into Rei after talking about Aya. I mean the two of them had such uber crushes on each other that it was a wonder why they weren't going out already.
Ran spotted a cute Tankini (Mini Gal appears with a sign that reads: "Tankini = Tank top bikini" and says, "A tankini is a bikini with a tank top. That's common knowledge for gals!" then disappears.) so Yuuya made her go try it on. As she posed for him they made plans to go to the beach sometime during the weekend.
Before the night was over Yuuya bought Ran a teddy bear. She hugged him close and kissed his cheek. "You are so sweet Yuuya! I love it!"
Yuuya walked her home and gave her a hug before saying good night.
"You mean you don't want a kiss?" Ran asked.
Yuuya smiled and shook his head. "You said you wanted to wait for the right person. I understand and respect that. We'll both wait for that special person, okay?"
Ran smiled even brighter and hugged her bear tight. "Thanks Yuuya. Good night!"
*~*~*~*~*
After Yuuya had left Ran ran up to her room and shut the room. She giggled like a girl in love who had just had her crush tell her that he liked her. She hugged her bear. "You're so cute! But what should we name you?"
She thought and looked at the bear. "Hmm. How about Yutaka? Prefect!" Ran giggled again.
That night she dreamed of Yuuya while holding Yutaka close to her.
Ran, Miyu, and Yamato spent the better part of the day making plans to get the two friends back together.
Yamato walked home with Ran. "I wanted to tell you that I think it's really great what you're trying to do," he said after they had dropped Miyu at home.
