Chapter 2 A/N: Like I said in the last chapter…… it's Ayame! I hope you have fun reading this, cus I sure had fun writing it! R&R please! Please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes, my PC might have mucked it up! Stupid technology! (Oh by the way, thanks to all the people that reviewed my last chapter)
Interviewer: Hello, and once again welcome to another spectacular 'An Interview With Fruits Basket!" Last week I had a chat with the most dashing and big headed person I have ever met… Shigure Sohma! Let's hope that this week we will be a bit more successful huh! So please everyone, give a big hand to the best man on TV, except for me of course … Ayame Sohma! (crowd goes wild)
Ayame: (appears on stage) Hello! Hello! Yes, I have arrived; the moment you have all been waiting for is at long last here! I hope that I can give you a show that'll stay in your hearts' forever and ever!
Interviewer: (mutters) Oh no… not again… I haven't even got over the trauma of last week…! (normal voice) Hello Ayame, and welcome! Please make yourself comfortable!
Ayame: (sits down on sofa, and crosses legs) Oh you're so kind, don't mind if I do!
Interviewer: Ok then, where shall we start…! Oh I know… if you don't mind me asking, what is the relationship between yourself and your brother Yuki like?
Ayame: Well… (thinks for a moment) …not to put it too bluntly or anything… I LOVE HIM! Just don't tell him that… if he found out that I said that, I think that he'd send me flying through the roof! But I sure hope that doesn't, because I'm wearing one of my latest designs! (stands proudly, but dramatically, to show off his creation! It's one of his long outfits that reach his knees, dark blue, with silver fastenings.)
Interviewer: Ah yes! And so that leads us onto our next question… how did you come up with that idea of your fabulous shop! We're all dying to know!
Ayame: Ah well, it is a heart-warming tale I am about to tell… (snivels)
Interviewer: (mutters) Oh great… why did I ever ask?
Ayame: You see… one fine summer morning I was walking in the park with my umbrella, listening to the birds humming in the trees… I then came across the most beautiful couple I have ever seen… it was a touching seen to the eye. They were standing on the arching bridge that cascaded over the shining lake. The man was down on one knee, reading out the most touching love poem I have ever heard. The women meanwhile, standing there, weeping with such joy I'm surprised that the lake didn't over flow! While I was standing there…
Interviewer: (mutters) being perverted…
Ayame: (didn't hear him) a thought struck into my wandering mind… was it possible to sell romance…? Romance that was as pure and simple as this…? Leaving the couple, I made my journey slowly home… thinking…
Interviewer: (sighs) How long is this going to last mate?
Ayame: Patience now… I just getting to the good part… as I was saying, I travel slowly home, expanding my new found idea. But suddenly my eye caught this fine young woman on the roadside. As I looked closer, I could see that she was trying to sell the beautiful clothes I have ever seen to passers by, and may I just say, without much luck at all! Walking up to her, I asked her name, it was Mine… AHHH MINE! (goes into one of his dramatic speeches) YES! SHE WAS THE ONE THAT HELPED ME CREATE MY LIFES DREAM! SHE IS THE ONE THAT I OW ALL OF MY SUCCESS TO! SHE HAS TALENT TO MAKE SUCH WONEDERFUL CLOTHES THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD! I COULD NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS THINK OF WORKING WITH ANYONE BUT HER!
Interviewer: (taken a back) Right… ok… that's… erm nice…! NEXT QUESTION! As you probably know, on last weeks show I had a word with your… er… friend Shigure! What can you tell me about your relationship with him?
Ayame: AH HA! Yes Gure-san told me about this! He warned me that you would try to sneakily find things out about us! And my gosh wasn't he right! You may need to get some help you know, maybe for obsessive behaviour; I haven't ever come across someone as eager as you! I suppose we should be flattered really…!
Interviewer: (finally cracks) WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU LOT! HAS THE CURSE THINGY FINALLY GONE TO YOUR OVER SIZED HEAD OR SOMETHING! IT'S MADE YOUR EGO EXPAND TO THE SIZE OF A HUMPBACK WHALE! JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Ayame: Tsk tsk! What's the magic word now?
Interviewer: DON'T YOU 'WHAT'S THE MAGIC WORD?' ME! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE MY LIFE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE OR SOMETHING!
Ayame: (looks like he's thinking) …YEP!
Interviewer: AHHHHHHH! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I WANT A PAY RISE! YOU HEAR ME? I WAN'T A PAY RISE! (interviewer runs off the stage screaming his head off!)
Ayame: Oh dear… what ever is the matter with him…? OH WELL! I guess that I am just going to have to finish the show off by myself!
(goes right up to the camera, so all you see is his face) Thank you all so much for watching this weeks' episode of 'An Interview With Fruits Basket!' I hope that it was a something to remember! What am I saying? Of course it was something to remember, I was in it! (laughs heartily) Anyway, the next guest to appear on this breath taking show is our hot-headed friend… Kyo Sohma! That of course is if he even decides to show up! (laughs heartily again!) Tune in next week folks!
