Author's Notes: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi. And some characters are not part of Fushigi Yuugi.

"Hai", Padmae replied.

"Hey how come you learn some Japanese words?" Tasuki asked. She smiled.

"It's because my Mom is Japanese".

"Oh".

"On with the story Amiboshi", she said, very eager to hear Amiboshi's story.

"Okay I'll start", he said as he cleared his throat. "Well I will just admit I have a love one before. I was really happy with her and you can really say that I was really in love and totally heaven. I can't describe myself as a loner back then. The only thing that we broke up is that she had loved another". Padmae couldn't believe what she hears. That is sure painful if your love one sets eyes on another person.

"I'm sorry", Padmae began. "I can describe it how you feel".

"It's nothing", he said as he shrugged. "Why can you say you can describe how I feel? Do you have a love one before?" all eyes set on Padmae. And Padmae was still eating also Amiboshi. But she kept her lunchbox.

"Yes, you wanna hear it?"

"We want to!" Nuriko, Suboshi, Tasuki and Amiboshi replied.

"All right then. Listen", she paused and was thinking to make her story short. Then begin her story. "I really love to play sports. But my friends are not really sporty even though they're girls. It was P.E.time when I joined a group of boys playing basketball. I was the only girl there. And first of all I don't really know my classmates names. That's how and when I met my love one. The only thing that we broke apart to make the story short is that he left for another country".

"But you can write letters to him", Amiboshi said. Padmae shook her head.

"I doubt it. He'll set his eyes to another girl and besides he doesn't know when to come back. That's why Amiboshi I know how you feel".

"Was it hard?" Nuriko asked curiously.

"Hard but you know everybody has to move on. You just can't be locked up from your past forever", she replied.

"You and my bro.has the same situation", Suboshi began.

"Yeah", the two replied.

"And for that you make a cute couple!" Tasuki exclaimed. The two looked at each other, blushed then looked away.

"T-That is why I don't want Amiboshi to call me Mae because I'll remember him", Padmae added, her words stammering from her mouth after what Tasuki said.

"That is why soon you'll be a couple!" Tasuki teased again.

"TASUKI!" Amiboshi exclaimed as the two 'quarrel' for a while. While Nuriko is cheering for them and Padmae and Suboshi sweat dropped.

"Hey Padmae have you start working on the assignment in English?" Suboshi asked as he turned to her. She shook her head.

"Not yet. I have no idea. English is tomorrow right?" Suboshi nods in reply. "Then I'll make it tonight".

As dismissal came Amiboshi didn't go with them. Padmae is really curious where he is going. But as they went out of the building again she heard that same music the other day. "By the way Amiboshi told me that Christmas party is on December 17", Nuriko began.

"WHAT?" the other three shrieked.

"It's because we will have our periodical test", he replied. Tasuki wondered why Padmae's eyes scan around the building.

"What is it Padmae?"

"Nothing. It's the second time that I heard that music. It's lovely".

"Oh" 'Amiboshi will be proud to hear that', Tasuki thought as they go home.

It's Friday and English is their subject before lunch. Everybody was so nervous to say her speech. Nuriko, Suboshi and Tasuki have finished their speech. People even laughed when Tasuki performed coz' his words were REALLY stammering. Their teacher even laughed then its Amiboshi's turn. He went up to the platform and makes his speech. He breathed in and out to calm himself. He is also a nervous person. "In love I rather choose the mind. Well God put our brain over our heart so that we can think about our decisions. It's true that we should follow our heart but sometimes our heart has wrong decisions. And besides you should think over and over again if you want to have a relationship with somebody. And love is not perfect you know? Sometimes we had to let someone go". People applauded as Amiboshi had finished his speech. Even girls we're sighing. Actually he and his brother are the heartthrobs in school. Their sensei recorded Amiboshi's grade as he called Padmae.

"Padmae Davidz", Padmae stood up from her seat. She is also a nervous person so she tried to calm down. As Amiboshi passed her side he murmured something.

"Good luck". That bought smile to her lips when he said that as she stands on the platform. She cleared her throat before speaking.

"Mind or heart? Which to choose when it's come to love? If I we're you I rather choose mind. Mind actually orders everything inside our body. And for me heart pumps blood and somehow knows how we feel. If we love someone and we choose our mind we know the advantages and disadvantages. The advantage on it is that someone loved us. And the disadvantages is that person can love another. So when making decisions about love think twice!" after saying her speech Padmae exhaled heavily and went down on the platform as her classmates applauded.

'She was doing great back there. I wonder if she allows herself to love again', Amiboshi thought as Padmae sat beside him. "That was nice".

"Thanks", Padmae said her cheeks still flushed because of embarrassment. Their teacher went in front to announce something.

"I know many people here have crushes already or have a relationship with someone. That is why I want to know how you can describe love. Is it just puppy love, infatuation, admiration or it's really love. Everybody had done a great job. Give yourselves a round of applause". Again the students applauded. "Okay then class dismissed".

"Goodbye and thank you sensei". As their teacher went out Amiboshi announced something.

"Everybody sit down. Tanaka-sensei will be here and will say something about the Christmas party". People exclaimed happily! They can't really wait for their Christmas party. Then their sensei went in. "Sit down".

"Okay class in this box are sheets of paper. I'll pass this around and you pick one paper. Whatever paper you get, in Christmas party you will give your gift to that person. This is how we exchanged our gift". Tanaka passed the box around as the students pick one. Everybody we're too nervous to pick whatever they'll get. After five minutes they we're done. "Okay open the paper and don't tell it to anybody whoever you have picked". They open the paper and some we're happy to pick whoever they have picked. And some wanted to faint coz' have picked up their crushes name. Some we're lucky to pick up their love one's name. And this time destiny has its trick again coz' Padmae had picked up Amiboshi's name and Amiboshi picked up Padmae's. Fate indeed. "Okay then you may go home. Cleaners stay".

'This is just great!' Amiboshi thought.

'Kami-sama why him?!' Padmae also thought. Nuriko, Suboshi and Tasuki went to them.

"Come on guy we'll still have to clean the classroom", Nuriko said.

"S-Sure", the both replied.

"Bro.and Padmae you okay you two?" Suboshi asked.

"Hai", they replied again. They looked at each other then blushed then looked away.

"I wonder if you two are meant to be", Tasuki began to tease. Their faces we're now red.

"Urusai Tasuki!"

"Oh well"Tasuki said as he began to whistle.

Another practice and Amiboshi wasn't with them. So it's only Padmae, Nuriko, Suboshi and Tasuki went home. "Sigh. Test will be next week and we have to study. Padmae you don't have all the notes right?" Tasuki asked.

"I borrowed Amiboshi's notes and got them Xerox", she replied.

"You really like Amiboshi do you?" Nuriko teased. She blushed.

"I like him as my friend", her voice was like a whisper.

"Yeah right. Next time I heard it will be 'I love him' instead".

"Nuriko!"

"By the way who will you give your gift to in Christmas party?" Suboshi asked. "Mine will be for Yui".

"For Kaye", Tasuki replied.

"For Marina", Nuriko said.

"F-For", Padmae stammered and blushed. She wasn't like this before. What's happening to her? "For A-Amiboshi". The three looked shock then laughedâ€hard!
