Chapter 3:

Author's Note: Hi welcome to the third Chapter. Sorry it took so long.

Disclaimer: Don't own it.

'BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE-' Audrey hits the snooze button without delay. The clock reads six o' clock 'I really shouldn't do this because of what Brittney said last night, but I just want to… Why? I don't' know.' Audrey thinks to herself. So she gets dressed, heads downstairs, and starts cooking some pancakes. After making two pancakes for each person, Audrey yells at the top of her lungs "Hey! Breakfast is ready! So get your butts down here and eat!"

'Brittney's gonna kill me for that.' Audrey thinks.

"Audrey!"

'Yup, I'm dead.'

"Well I'm sorry, would you rather be late for work?"

"Yes." Alaina moans as everyone walks into the kitchen. "Pancakes! Yippee! Thank you, Audrey. What time did you get up?"

"Six o' clock, now eat up, because you have thirty minutes to get ready to go to work."

"What!" Alaina and Brittney ask in unison.

"Why didn't you wake us up?" Brittney asks.

"I just did." Audrey replies.

"Why you…" Brittney starts as Audrey runs off. "Hey get back here you little wench!"

"Little?" Audrey yells back. "I got you by five inches!"

"Gotcha!" Brittney yells as she tackles Audrey.

"Cheater! You took the shortcut!"

"How else was I supposed to catch you?"

"Brittney, get off of her." Adrianna says.

"Yeah, 'cause you know what? That's payback for last night."

"Well, who's side are you on, Adrianna?" Brittney asks.

"Do you think I LIKE what you said last night, Brittney?" Adrianna scolds. Brittney just goes sulking to the table and everyone eats in silence. Soon, Brittney and Alaina leave (in the BMW) for work to have Audrey and Adrianna get ready for their job. Fifteen minutes later, Audrey's changing and her cell phone rings at the other side of her bedroom. Audrey runs over, trips on her bed, hits the floor with a loud 'THUD!', and answers her phone with a slightly groaned hello.

"Hey Audrey, it's me, Brittney. I was wondering… what time do you get off of work?"

"Four thirty. Why?" Audrey asks.

"Oh, good because your dates are meeting you at six at Mie's Café"

"Brittney, you mean to tell me that I practically body slam the floor just to be told that my blind date is going to pick me up at some café?" Audrey starts. "You know what, Brittney-"

"Well I can see you're still getting ready, so I'll leave you be." And with that Brittney hangs up.

"UUURRRRGGGGHH!" Audrey screams. Audrey finishes getting dressed and heads downstairs to find Adrianna watching T.V. "Hey, Adrianna-chan?"

"Yes, Audrey-san?"

"You don't mind if we leave early do you?"

"No. I'm all set, so we can leave." Adrianna says picking up her things. "And we can just get dressed at work. We don't want to walk around with our uniforms on incase they get dirty.

"Yeah, good plan." Audrey says picking up her flute and other items. "Hey you know what?"

"What?"

"Work for people in Japan starts at seven, and I think it ends at six. So why does work start at ten thirty and end at four thirty for us?" Audrey asks.

"I don't know… It's rather odd come to think of it. Maybe it's just because we're American."

"I highly doubt that, but your guess is as good as mine."

They're still pondering the entire job issue, when Audrey spots 'Sahara's Bookstore'

"Ooh, Hey Adrianna, do you mind if we make one little stop? I want to get that book that I had Yuki put on hold for me. I think he's nice for doing something like that. This is something random, but I think he'd do pretty good in a business career." Audrey stops her rambling to look at Adrianna. "Adrianna, you know there's only a fifty percent chance that Yuki's going to be there right?"

"I know, but he's just so hot!"

"Then go join his fan club!"

"He has a fan club!" Adrianna asks amazed.

"I don't know, Adrianna! I was joking, you nimrod!" Audrey laughs "But even if he did, you wouldn't even stoop so low as to join it!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You're weird, Adrianna. But not that weird."

"I feel so loved."

"As you should." So the two girls finally reach the bookstore and, low and behold, they see Yuki standing by the door when they walk in.

"Hello Miss Audrey, Miss Adrianna." Yuki greets.

"Oh, hey Yuki." Audrey glances at Adrianna who has a smirk across her face. "We just came to pick up that book that you put on hold for me. Thanks again."

"It was no trouble at all, and it's under the name Yuki, incase you want to know." Yuki looks at Audrey's face. "My, that's some scar that that thug gave you."

"Oh, this? It's fine. It was a good thing that we cleaned it really good." Audrey says feeling the light scar.

"Well, that's good to hear."

"Yeah, but today isn't going to be too good for me and Adrianna here."

"Why not?" Yuki asks concern filling his voice.

"Well our so called 'chaperone', has hooked her friends and sister up with blind dates."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, very much so." Audrey sees Yuki with an 'I wonder' face. "Is something the matter?"

"No, I'm just thinking."

"Okay then, how's about we go get that book, Adrianna?" Audrey looks beside her. "Adrianna?" Audrey starts getting worried 'Okay think, Audrey. If you were Adrianna in a bookstore, where would you be?' Jeopardy music starts playing out of nowhere 'DING!' "Yuki, where's your manga section?"

"Over there." Yuki points to the manga section where Audrey found Adrianna rummaging through all the manga.

"Adrianna, c'mon, it's time we got to w…" Audrey pauses to look at the isle and her eyes grow wide as she looks at the incredible selection. "I think I'm going to cry." Audrey sniffles.

"Now remember, we can't get too many, because of that budget." Adrianna says.

"Darn." Audrey mutters under her breath, then gets an idea "Okay, but promise that whatever manga we buy, that we have to read it before Alaina."

"Agreed." Adrianna responds before she sees Audrey snicker out of the corner of her eye. "What's so funny?"

"I can just picture it. If Alaina was here, She'd buy the entire manga section. Heck, why stop there, She'd buy the whole freaking store."

"You're right." Adrianna laughs at this too. So they get about five books of manga and that book that Yuki put on hold for Audrey, titled 'Dancing with Roses.'

Audrey and Adrianna leave Yuki and head off to work, since it's nine thirty. As soon as they reach work, they have to get dressed. So as they're getting dressed… they talk of course.

"What do you think our dates are going to be like?" Adrianna asks.

"Hmmm, I don't know. I wish I knew, that way you'd stop asking questions about it."

"I'm sorry. Am I bothering you with this?"

"No, as a matter of fact, it's funny to see you nervous."

"Oh, I'm happy I could entertain you." Adrianna scoffs.

"Stupid piece of junk!" Audrey complains.

"Excuse me?"

"Not you, the shirt."

"Oh okay, well if you got to choose the date, what would you say then?"

"… Well, it'd be in the middle of the day, and we'd go horse back riding somewhere scenic, like a mountain, and when we got to the scenic spot we'd eat some chicken salad wrapped in tortillas and drink some mango tea with it."

Adrianna gasps "That sounds soooooo romantic!"

"Why thank you. I always was a hopeless romantic."

"Yeah, aside from your second personality."

"Shhh! No one's supposed to know about that. Jeez, do you want the bathroom world to know about it?"

"I'm sorry!"

"It's 'kay."

"Okay, so what do you think their name's are?"

"Personally, I could care less about the names." Audrey replies stepping out of the stall "Are you ready, Adrianna?"

"Yeah, I just finished." Adrianna says stepping out of her stall also. "Wow, that's so pretty!" Adrianna points to the long, ruffled, white skirt and red elbow-sleeve shirt that Audrey was wearing.

"Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself, Miss Japan." Audrey points to the red slacks embroidered with tiger lilies and the white shirt with a tiger lily in the center and the word's 'Yumi's Cooking' on the back in red.

"Thank you Audrey-san."

"You're welcome Adrianna-chan!" Audrey answers picking up her flute. "Now how about we go to work?"

"Okay, just don't miss any notes today."

"Gah! You just jinxed my entire day." Adrianna laughs at this.

"Sorry."

So their day goes by extremely fast due to the horde of customers and requests for songs. Audrey and Adrianna drag their feet out of the restaurant still in uniform. Audrey picks up her phone and calls Brittney.

"Hello?"

"Hey Brittney, it's Audrey. Adrianna and I just got off work, so can you give us your location?"

"Yeah, 'Ayame's Shop' is located just a little further down the street from that pharmacy."

"Really?" Audrey asks.

"Really, bye!" Brittney hangs up. When Audrey and Adrianna get to 'Ayame's Shop', they are greeted by a tall white haired man with a deep yet girlish voice, which gave him a romantic flare.

"Hello!" He cried. "Welcome to my shop! My name is Ayame Sohma, how may I help you?"

"You're Ayame Sohma!" Audrey and Adrianna ask in unison.

"Why yes of course, who else would I be silly?" Ayame asks. Audrey glances at Adrianna who's all dreamy eyed.

"Adrianna." Audrey whispers "I know he looks like Yuki, but please, close your mouth!" She closes it immediately. Unfortunately, Ayame heard every word and says "You know Yuki!"

"Yes, how do you know him?" Audrey asks suspicious.

"Why, we're brothers!"

"Oh, so that's how you two look alike." Adrianna answers.

Ayame looks at Adrianna "Yes, and I feel flattered that you think me and my dear brother are cute." Ayame lifts Adrianna's chin up with a finger. "You deserve a kiss."

Audrey grabs Adrianna and pulls her away from Ayame and says "How about no, because we're just here to get Alaina and be gone. NOT kissed by older men." Audrey gives him a 'try another stunt like that again and see what happens!' Face.

Ayame smiles "Well then, come right this way." Ayame leads them to a room where Brittney and Alaina are yelling at each other for some reason.

"Red!" Brittney yells.

"White!" Alaina yells back.

"Red!"

"White!"

"Red!"

"How about pink!" Audrey interrupts.

"When did you guys get here?" Alaina asks.

"Just now." Audrey answers.

"You guys are wearing that on your dates?" Brittney asks.

"No, Brittney, they're our work uniforms." Audrey says exasperated.

"Well, come with me then and you can pick out your outfits." Ayame motions for Alaina, Audrey and Adrianna to follow him.

"Okay, but I'm warning you, put me in a skirt or a dress and you'll be feeling the bruises for a month."

"Uh, Alaina?" Audrey sweat-drops "You might not want to threaten your boss."

"Oh. It's quite alright. Teenagers these days, I just love their spunk!" Ayame says.

"Well, spunk or no spunk, they're not properly dressed! Now…" The woman looks at them with evil eyes. "Let's do a makeover."

"Great idea Mine!" Ayame cheers. "The pink outfit would suit Miss Audrey there, best. The traditional blue one would be perfect for Adrianna-chan. And the gold one just fits Alaina-san's personality."

"Oh, Goody!" Mine cheers. "Now…" She looks evilly again. "Who's first?" Audrey, Adrianna, and Alaina look around frightened.

"Ooh! I've got an idea!" Brittney yells. "I'll take Adrianna, Ayame can take Audrey, for safety reasons from Alaina, and Mine can take Alaina."

"Traitor!" Alaina whines.

"Eh, stuff it." Brittney now has the evil look in her eye. "Come with me, Adrianna."

"Adrianna, don't, it's a trap!" Alaina yells and looks like she's about to run after her, then Audrey joins in by grabbing her.

"No Alaina, if you go you'll be killed!" Audrey says sounding really dramatic.

"I know, but we need to save Adrianna-chan!"

"There's nothing we can do for her now."

Alaina says this next thing with complete happiness. "Okay, bye, Adrianna!" Audrey and Alaina begin laughing hysterically.

Mine grabs Alaina "Come along Miss Alaina, we need to get you into your outfit."

"And what would it be, exactly?" Alaina asks as she disappears from the room.

"Well, Miss Audrey, it's just you and me." Ayame says with a calm and romantic voice.

'Why do I feel like I'm in one of those hentai movies?' Audrey thinks to herself. Ayame starts looking at her weirdly. 'Oh, that's why.' "May I help you?" Audrey asks.

"What's the weather like tonight?"

"I'd say in the lower eighties, why?"

"Well, I didn't want you to catch cold in what you wore. I like my clients to come back, you know." Ayame looks at her again. "Not to be rude, but I need just one set of measurements."

"Okay, go ahead."

"You really don't mind?"

"Not at all, I've been fitted for things before."

"Okay, here we go!" Ayame says grabbing the tape measurer then gets and evil looks in his eye. "Let's begin."

'Hentai movie!' goes through Audrey's mind. So Ayame just starts measuring her legs, arms, and other parts of the body that will not be mentioned. When Ayame is finished, he walks over to the dress rack and pulls out a pink flowery dress.

"I think this is just perfect for you and your blond nature. Have to bring the cuteness out sometime!"

An evil glare is coming from Audrey at this very moment "How's about a black one? Not pink, or purple… black."

"But then how would we bring out those beautiful pools of blue you call eyes."

'He's cute, but he's way older than me, so I'd have get seriously under aged drunk to like this guy… so Hell no!' Audrey thinks to herself.

"Sorry Ayame, but no." Ayame lifts her chin up with his finger and looks at her like he's about to kiss her.

"Please?" He begs. "Do it for me."

Audrey takes this all very seriously and grabs his wrist in a way that she could snap it in two at any moment. "Ayame, try another stunt like that again, and you won't even have a finger to use."

Ayame chuckles and says "Well, then I'm going to have to force you."

"Force me?"

meanwhile

"Brittney, no. Hell no! A thousand times over, no. No. NO. NOOOOOOO!" Adrianna yells.

"Please Adrianna? Do it for me Adrianna?" Brittney gives Adrianna puppy dog eyes. "C'mon, you'll look pretty in it. You have a chance to show off that beautiful figure." More puppy eyes. Adrianna, being Adrianna, couldn't resist the puppy eyes.

"You just had to bring on the eyes, didn't you?"

"Yep." Brittney says as Adrianna grudgingly tries on the dress.

meanwhile

"You're kidding me, right? Like I'd be caught dead walking out of this shop, let alone my bathroom wearing… this." Alaina gestures to the gold dress.

"Oh yes you will!" Mine gets an evil glare going on. "That is if you want to keep your job…"

"You have no right to threaten me!"

"I just did, and I will again if you don't put that dress on like a good girl. So… GET A MOVE ON!"

meanwhile when Alaina's being threatened and Adrianna's being forced

Audrey steps out of the dressing room wearing the pink flowery dress "How did you get me into this again?"

Ayame smiles extremely big. "You look beautiful, Audrey, no need to ask how I did it. I'm just a professional designer."

"Whatever, let's just go get the others." Audrey stalks out the door. When Audrey looks at Alaina and Adrianna they (Meaning Alaina and Adrianna) yell at the same time… "Loser! You're wearing a pink flowery dress! Ha. Ha."

"It wasn't my choice." Audrey mumbles.

"Why Brittney and Mine! You did a wonderful job, Now their ready to court the man of their dreams!"

Adrianna looks at the ground "Well, this is going to be humiliating."

Alaina immediately perks up "Humiliating? Let's go get those dates!"

Brittney has a looks of curiosity. "Do you like being humiliated, Alaina?"

"Nope, but Audrey doesn't. And when she gets humiliated she gets a really funny look on her face!" Audrey gives her a glare "On to the dates!"

Author's Note: Hey guess what? We have an interview this chapter! With none other than the headache her self... Alaina!
