Note: In order for this fic to work, I had to tamper with ages--that is- K, Tohma, Sakano, Mika, Noriko, and Ryuichi are about 13 while Mika's 12 and Yuki's 11. Tatsuha is 10 while Shuichi and Hiroshi are about 9 (the same with Aizawa and his friends) and Suguru is 7.

One last note: Shuichi's POV.

Part 6: Adventure Island

{My gaze wandered from person to person in the audience as the music trilled around me. Everything faded away until I found myself swallowed by the colors of the song...

-What could it be, what is this enchanted force?-

-That pulls me in, drags me right down to the floor?-

As I felt everyone eyes on me, I was nervous no more. In fact, the attention fed me energy. That energy was all I needed to go on...

-What is this sound that is pulsing in my head?-

-Or could it be streaming from my heart instead?-

I chanced a glance to my right, behind the curtains. Ryuichi was looking at me in an almost stern way, his eyes never wavering. I didn't know who was more intimidating! Ryuichi, or the glaring Aizawa? Suddenly, I felt that I needed to prove myself if not better, then at least as worthy to compete with them. After all, I was the youngest of the three!

-Sorry! I'm sorry that this feeling...!-

With every word I sang, I felt all my anger and frustration slip out of me and into the atmosphere around me...I wanted to share my song vividly. I wanted to entertain them. I wanted to be the best one day. I wanted...

-...is fleeting, like the beating of a bug's wings!-

I felt an odd feeling inside me some time during the middle of my song. I knew that many people were watching me, but I felt like I was being watched by an outsider. By an intense gaze.

-And flying in the lost zones of my dreaming-

-While dreading the ending of everything!-

By the most enchanting eyes...

-...the ending of everything!-}

"Is this all that we're really allowed to wear?" I asked my best friend. I was staring at the reflection of a nine-year-old wearing nothing but yellow swimming trunks and some sandals. Of course, the pink hair didn't really go with the ensemble...

"You'll see when we get there," Hiroshi answered. He was packing towels and clothing into a bag. His long brown hair was tied back and his swimming trunks were a dark shade of jade[1].

Yesterday was the craziest day I had ever lived. Yet, it was also the must fun I had ever had. I was tricked into riding the scariest rides of a busy amusement park with many friends that we met on the spot. We argued, we ate, we chatted, and we chased. What more could we have asked for? Plenty, apparently. For, we all agreed to go as a group to yet another park. A water park this time. I had never been to a water park before, either. I dreaded the very thought.

"Come on, let's go," Hiroshi urged. Time was against me.

"Ok," I assured. Time was against us all.

"Are we all here?" Eiri asked the group. He scanned around, giving me goose bumps as his gaze drifted over me for a bit longer. "Ok, let the fun begin!"

The first thing we realized when we arrived was that the entrance line was not long at all. We rented lockers to put our stuff away and we found that we couldn't wear anything on our feet. Bright bathing suits were all I could see for a while. I couldn't help but stare at the bright pink bathing suits some of the ladies wore. They were a constant reminder of Hiroshi's evil joke.

'Not everyone is as cruel,' I thought while glancing over at Eiri when he wasn't looking. Tohma and K were making plans as they unfolded a map of Adventure Island. The first stop was a place that sounded like 'Wavu pull.'

"Let's hit the Wave pool!" K announced while leading the group.

Now the wave pool was a large pool like any other. I was wondering why Tohma and a few others wore floating vests when I realized what the 'wave' in wave pool was about. I heard a 'ker-plunk' and got scared. I immediately latched on to Eiri as waves began to form from the front of the pool to the back. The waves were big and they pushed me almost to the other end, Eiri included. Tohma and others remained safely afloat with their vests and I decided to get revenge on them later on in the day. Why was it that they never warned the others of the possible 'dangers?' I distracted myself by starting a splash attack with Hiro. I had apparently hit him with water so many times that his tie slid off and his hair got loose. When he resurfaced, his hair was covering his face.

"That wasn't fair, Shuichi!" Hiro yelled in the direction of Mika.

"Do I look like Shuichi to you?" Mika countered. Hiroshi pushed his hair aside like a curtain and frowned. He was yelling at the wrong person because I was right behind him giggling. "SHUICHI!"

Of course I ran for cover. To be more precise, I SWAM for cover...all the way to the other side of the pool. "LA LI HO!!"

"What are you doing all the way on the other side, na no da!" Ryuichi asked, floating above the water with Kumagoro in his hands [2].

"La li ho!" I greeted.

"Na no da!" he cried back in frustration.

"Will you two STOP that!" Noriko argued.

We left the Wave Pool a bit shakily and with our fingers and toes wrinkled. The time had come to get on one of the rides. One of two, really. The Calypso Cruiser or the Aruba Tuba. They were two rides that intertwined and ended on opposite ends. Half of us went on the Calypso Cruiser and the other half on the Aruba Tuba. We had to carry these floating donuts to the top of the ride and sit on them all the way down. Some of the donuts were two donuts in one. The singles were yellow and the doubles were blue. K and I nabbed a double and made our way to the Calypso Cruiser followed by Ryuichi, Tohma, Mika, and Ayaka.

When we reached the top of the Calypso Cruiser, the lady at the top told us that the shorter kids ride at the front. Then, she pushed us down the water. The ride was faster than I thought. I even swallowed some water without meaning to on my way down! When we reached the bottom, K and I cheered...and I slipped out of the float by accident! I had fallen into the water and ended up on the other side, shocked. K looked around for me frantically and when he saw where I ended up, he burst out laughing. I glared at him from beneath my wet hair.

We had so much fun, that we went on the ride again, some of us switching sides. This time I doubled with Tatsuha followed by Tohma, Ayaka, Sakano, and Hiroshi. Tatsuha was complaining about not being paired with Ryuichi yet again. The brat was really getting on my nerves even as we reached the top. I sat up front yet again as we were sent down the ride. That was when Tatsuha declared that I looked very similar to Ryuichi and preceded to glomp me in the middle of the ride. I retaliated by hitting him with my elbow. He ended up finishing the ride on his butt.

[1]- Is that even a real color?

[2]- Notice how Kuma stays dry and out of harms way throughout the entire story. ;;

Note: Almost a year...has it really been that long since I last froze these chibies? I ultimately apologize for the LONG delay. So many things have happened. Among one of the many things, I moved.

Random Rockstar: You read the last chapter at one in the morning? Wow. I owe you at least a few more chapters, don't I? '

Seraph1: Ryuichi and Shuichi really are alike, lol!

Hikaru Itsuko: I'm glad you liked it though I know this chapter's nowhere near its length.

HanaBiko-san: If only, if only.

ChichiriZ Gal: Thanks!

Deep Midnight: Suguru's one of your favorites?

Happy Utena-Loving Yuki: Lol! Wow, I updated about four months later! I'm so sorry!

Silverone: Couldn't leave Aizawa out of being chibified!

Last note: Again, I'm so sorry it took me so long to update. I have the fic in my head from beginning to end, so it won't be left unfinished!
