Hi peoples! I hope you had enjoyed the last chapter. Wondering what will happen? Here it is. (I'm not going to do what I did with the last chapter about POV.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or Phantom of the Opera.
Uo had gotten to the theater before Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo. She only waited for about a minute when they showed up. Tohru was waving to her, Yuki was smiling, and Kyo was just staring at her. What is he looking at? She thought.
Wow. She looks amazing. Kyo thought. They approached Uo and got in line to pay for their tickets. Since this wasn't an official date, they paid for their own. They decided to watch the Phantom of the Opera. (This is a little inside joke with my friends. Haha)
While they were watching the movie, Shigure had gotten hungry. He went to the kitchen and opened the oven. He took out the plate of food, with an oven mitt of course, and closed the door. Instead of turning off the oven though, he turned it all the way up. He took the plate and went back to his office.
Kyo, Uo, Yuki, and Tohru finished watching the movie. That was so romantic but so sad too. Tohru thought. Being as sensitive as she was, she cried a little bit. She stopped quickly though, not wanting Yuki or anyone else to worry about her.
The four of them decided to go to a fast food restaurant to eat. There, they talked about the movie. "How could two people fall in love after talking for like ten minutes?" Yuki asked in the discussion. With that, both Kyo and Uo blushed.
"Well they did know each other from childhood," Tohru answered.
"True, but they lost touch for many years," Yuki said.
"It just happens, I guess," Kyo said.
Figures he'd disagree with me. Yuki thought, but Kyo was saying this because it was true. (Yuki was wrong, and Kyo was right. Gasp)
Why'd he say something like that? Uo thought, but couldn't think about it for very long because Tohru asked her a question.
"Huh? What was that?" Uo asked, snapping out of her thoughts.
"Umm. I asked what you thought about what Yuki said. I had said it was romantic, but too quick for me," Tohru said.
"Well, I agree with Kyo," Uo answered, blushing. Kyo heard this and blushed too.
She's agreeing with me? Kyo thought.
Uo's agreeing with Kyo? I thought that would never happen though. Tohru thought.
"Umm, ok, well, I'm done eating," Yuki said.
"Yeah, me too," Tohru said, getting up.
"Same here," Uo agreed.
"Yeah," Kyo reluctantly said, not liking to agree with Yuki. They got up and left.
Meanwhile, Shigure was working in his office when he heard the fire alarm go off. He rushed out and looked in the kitchen. A towel had caught on fire above the oven. Apparently, Shigure had left the oven door slightly ajar, and the towel hanging above it caught fire. Shigure ran and got the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. He opened a window, threw away the burnt towel, and turned the oven, which was on high, off. He cleaned up, not wanting Tohru to think she had to stay home for every dinner so this wouldn't happen again. When he was done he thought. There, good as if she never left. Then he went back into his office.
"Where to go now? It's still early," Yuki asked outside the restaurant.
"I heard about the amusement park that opened last week," Tohru suggested.
"Yeah, me too. It sounds fun," Uo said.
"Ok. Let's go," Kyo said and they started walking towards the amusement park. When they got there, they were shocked that there were almost no people.
Yuki was the first to recover. "Most people are probably at the dance."
"Yeah…" the three said. They paid for their tickets and went in.
"What to do first?" Kyo asked.
"Let's go ride some rollercoaster," Uo suggested.
"Sure," Tohru said. They went on the biggest one. Tohru sat with Yuki while Uo sat with Kyo since they guys did not want to sit together. During the ride, Tohru had to hold down her dress. Every time they went down, she let out a blood curdling scream. At the end of the ride, they saw a classmate whose name was Daniel puke. They continued to ride more, seeing Daniel puke more and making Yuki pretty much deaf from all of Tohru's screaming. (The puking is an inside joke. Sorry Daniel, if you're reading this.)
Finally, Yuki decided he'd stop riding roller coasters and played some of those carnival games. While he was deciding which one to play, Tohru gasped and said, "That's so cute!" and pointed to a rice ball doll.
I'll play and win her that do. Yuki decided. The game was, you had to knock down cans with a ball. (Pretty lame and typical game, but I didn't know what else to put.) Yuki easily knocked them down because he was so accurate. He got the doll and gave it to Tohru.
"You didn't have to do that," Tohru protested.
"I wanted to. I already won it, and I don't know what else to do with it," Yuki insisted.
"Umm, ok, thank you," Tohru said taking it.
Kyo and Uo had wondered off, no really wanting to stay with them. Something caught Uo's eyes. She stopped, and Kyo ran into her. "Why'd you stop?" Kyo asked.
"Oh, sorry, it's just that cat is so cute," Uo pointed to a stuffed orange cat.
"You want it?" Kyo asked.
Uo was too mesmerized to protest and nodded.
"Ok," Kyo said as he walked over to the booth. It was one of those test your strength games where you take a hammer and hit the platform, trying to make the bell ring. Kyo paid for a turn and took the hammer. He hit the platform, the thing (for lack of a better word) shot up and hit the bell.
"Congratulations mister. Choose your prize," the guy working it said.
"I'll take that," Kyo pointed to the cat stuffed animal.
"Here you go," the guy gave it to him.
"Here," Kyo said as he tossed it at Uo.
"Thanks," Uo said hugging the stuffing out of it. He's so nice at times. She thought.
I wish she'd hug me. Kyo thought. That cat's even orange! Stupid Akito and his rule, not letting other people know.
"I think we should go look for Tohru," Uo suggested.
"Oh," Kyo said, having been knocked out of this thought, "Yeah." They walked back to where they last saw Yuki and Tohru. They were still there for some reason.
"Hey! There you guys are!" Tohru shouted toward them. "Where'd you go?"
"We just wandered off, and Kyo won me this cute doll," Uo replied hugging that cat once more. Kyo blushed and looked away.
"Yuki won me this cute doll," Tohru said hugging hers. Yuki smiled feebly. Kyo looked up and laughed mentally. After a long silence, Yuki looked at his watch and said, "We can get one more ride in. What do you want to go on?"
"What about the Farris wheel?" Tohru suggested.
"Ok," the rest said. They all headed there and got on really soon because almost no one was there so there wasn't a line. Yuki and Tohru sat at one end while Uo and Kyo sat at the other end of the cart. They went up and gasped at the beauty of all the lights. This was truly a romantic scene, but neither could cuddle or anything for fear of the other not liking them the way they did. (Kyo and Yuki couldn't really cuddle because they'd turn into animals of course.) The ride ended, and the left the amusement park. Kyo decided to walk Uo home since it was dark out and probably unsafe to go home alone.
The walk was pretty silent. The two of them reached Uo's house and stood on her porch. After a long, awkward silence, Uo said, "Umm, thanks for getting me this doll. See you at school."
"No problem. See ya," Kyo replied. They leaned closer, being pulled by some unknown force. What's going on? Are we going to kiss? Kyo thought.
My heart is racing. This is going to be my fist kiss. Uo thought. Just before they did kiss, the door opened with Uo older sister heading out. Kyo and Uo pulled apart before Uo's sister saw. (She was looking back in the house saying bye.) Uo blushed and went inside.
Darn! I was so close1 Kyo cursed. Why did you have to come at that time? He glared at Uo's sister. He turned and headed home.
During all this, Tohru and Yuki walked home in silence. They walked really slowly, enjoying one another's presence. They reached home about the time Kyo was halfway there. They walked upstairs together.
They stood in the hallway for a long time without talking. Finally, Tohru said, "Thank you. Tonight was nice. I love the doll."
"You're welcome, Miss Honda," Yuki replied. Just like with Kyo and Uo, Yuki and Tohru leaned closer being pulled by some unknown invisible force. (Yuki and Kyo are more alike than they think.)
Yuki's hear was beating at an alarming rate. Don't change, don't change. He thought.
What's happening? Is he leaning in to kiss me too? Tohru thought. Millimeters before their lips touched, Kyo stormed in, still furious about his kiss being interrupted. This startled both Yuki and Tohru causing them to pull apart.
Damn that cat. Yuki thought. I was so close.
"Umm, good night," Tohru quickly said and went into her room. Did that really happen? Was I about to kiss Yuki? Kyo, why did you have to come at that time? Tohru thought, leaning against her door. She sighed and got ready for bed.
That night, Kyo, Uo, Yuki, and Tohru thought about their close encounter of a kiss while they slept. Why didn't it happen? They all thought.
Ok. So it took me one day to update and not two or three. Just check back often. I write this all in a book, and then type it. Thanks for all the reviews! Please continue.
