Prettyinpinkgal: Yay! I got to write another chapter! Now to my reviewers:
JSB: Thanks for being my first reviewer! I'm glad u wanted me to keep going!
The Time Traveler: I'm glad u like it! I hope you like this chapter too!
Adnama C.: Yeah, that was a really tiny chapter, huh? looks over chapter and sweatdrops I'll try to make this one longer:) Thanks again for the correction!
Syaoran Li Clow: I'm glad you enjoy it so far! I'm not even exactly sure how Ken and Sora end up together yet, so it'll be interesting for me too!
Kishe: Thanks! I'm glad you thought it was so good!
To all my reviewers: THANK YOU! Thanks to you guys, there's another chapter! This chapter may seem a little out of character for Ken at least, so I'm sorry in advance! Hopefully, this will be longer than the first! Oh, and there's also another correction I'd like to make: In the first chapter, I said how it was evening. Well, it would be REALLY hard to do all the decorating and stuff like, an hour before the party, so it is around 3:30 P.M. or something, and the party will be at 7. That should be enough time! Also, at the end of the story, I'll probably go back and edit things like where I should put some of the text and such.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kaleido Star, because if I did, Ken and Sora would totally be together!
CHRISTMAS MIRACLES
Chapter Two: Preparations
Everyone was working their hardest for their Christmas party. Mia and Anna had brought their ideas to Jean and he came up with jobs for everyone. Everyone this to be an absolute success, and to make it the best Christmas ever. There would be lights everywhere, a giant Christmas tree, lots of food, dancing, mistletoe, wreaths, and everything!
Ken looked and saw Sora trying to put an ornament really high up on the Christmas tree. Her eyes were filled with determination. 'That's my Sora, determined at everything she does,' he thought with a smile. He always called her his Sora in his mind, even though it was only making himself hurt more. 'Why can't I tell her? Why is it so hard for me to tell her I love her?' Ken thought angrily.
"Hi Ken! Ken? Ken!" A voice shouted, interrupting his thoughts. Right in front of him was the girl of his dreams, Sora Naegino.
"Oh, hi Sora," Ken said. "I guess I was spacing out."
"That's funny, it doesn't seem like you to be like me!" Sora said with a laugh, then turned concerned. "Are you all right? You aren't sick, are you? If you're not feeling good, you should stay home from the party."
'She's worried about me,' a tiny voice in his head said. But it was ruled over by a louder voice saying, 'She's worried about me as a friend. She never felt that way and never will feel that way about me.' The thought made him angry, and it showed. "Look, I'm fine, Sora. Just leave me alone!" Ken turned and walked away. He stopped for a moment and saw Sora still looking at him, not only with concern but with extreme hurt, too. Ken automatically regretted his words, but decided not to go face her. He couldn't face her, not after what he said. He had imagined she would be upset, but not this upset. He turned again and saw she was still looking at him, but he could see tears building up in her eyes. She must have just realized she was about to cry, so she turned and walked in the opposite direction he was going. Ken decided to head and help with the wreaths, and walked away.
Sora walked over to a couch out of the party room. The moment she sat down, she gave up trying to be strong and started crying her heart out. 'Why am I acting like this? Why does it hurt so much? All he did was tell me to leave him alone. Sure, it sounded a little mean, but I'm being such a baby.' She stopped crying and began to think some more, a bit confused at her behavior. 'There were a few times he was like that, but it was for my own good, to help me continue giving my best effort for Kaleido Stage, but I don't see how what he just said was for my own good.'
Sora started shaking her head. 'No! I shouldn't be like this! I shouldn't blame Ken! I'm sure he had a good reason for yelling at me. Right. So, now the question is, why did I act like that?' She started searching herself, but could not find an answer. Her thoughts drifted over to Ken: his kindness, his blue eyes, his voice, his laugh…Sora could feel her heart go double-time and the heat rush to her face. "Wh-what's going on with me!" she wailed. She knew a lot about romance, and this was what sometimes happened when a person was head-over-heels in love. But she couldn't be in love…could she? She decided, after gathering her courage, she decided to go to someone she knew had experienced love for herself.
Prettyinpinkgal: And that's Chapter 2! I think it was longer than the first chapter, not including the thank you's. Hope u liked it and please RR! This time, we don't need a certain amount of reviews. I will just start writing the next chapter. I just wanted to know that people didn't think my writing was total crud for the first chapter . Sayonara!
