A/N: All I can say is...ASSUME NOTHING.


When they were in the gate an eager Sakuragi greeted them. "Hey guys, come quickly. Let's go inside ne?"

"Wow, it's like his first time in the park, ne Fuu-chan?" Mitsui asked the girl beside her. He stopped walking when he saw the twinkle in Fuuko's eyes and smiled. Then Fuuko caught his stare and smiled back then grabbed Mitsui's hand and ran inside the park.

When they were inside their faces reflect a child in his first time in the park, well except for Rukawa that is. The whole basketball team and Sakuragi's guntai, together with Haruko and Ayako were present. They were straining their necks in looking around the scene before them. Then Sakuragi caught something in the far side of the park. 'Hehehe, if I can get Haruko-chan in there, we will have a moment alone together for a long time and no one will disturb us. Then I can tell her how I feel…Hehehe…'

"Hey why don't we go to the ferris wheel first, ne Haruko-chan?" Sakuragi asked sweetly.

Akagi looked at the ferris wheel then Sakuragi then his sister. 'If that baka thinks he can get Haruko alone then he can kiss his dreams goodbye.'

On the other hand Ryota looked at the ferris wheel then asked Sakuragi why that. It's a child's ride. Sakuragi whispered something to Ryota and he immediately complied. Of course we know what Sakuragi whispered to him, ne? "Yeah Aya-chan, lets"

Haruko and Ayako looked at each other then they looked at the others. Noticing that no one disagree, "Uhm, okay"

They filed in the ferris wheel. First it's Ayako and a very excited and nervous Ryota. Second in line are Sakuragi and Haruko but Akagi stopped Sakuragi from coming after her sister. Luckily Kogure stopped Akagi and Sakuragi quickly ran to Haruko's side. Therefore the third in line is Kogure and a furious Akagi. Fourth is Takamiya alone. Fifth are Noda and Ookusu. Next in line are Mitsui and Fuuko but before Mitsui could get in, Rukawa held Mitsui's arm and looked at him. Mitsui remembered the incident before and thought it strange but he let Rukawa in. 'Well I never thought this guy knew how to apologize but well who really knows what's going on in this baka's mind'. So the next pair is Mitsui and Yohei. Then the other members piled in.

Ayako and Ryota.

'I can't believe I'm with Aya-chan. Someone up there really loves me.' "Uhm, Aya-chan, thank you for seating with me." Ryota said shyly.

Ayako looked at Ryota and smiled at him. "It's no problem Ryota."

Then they rode in a comfortable silence. Ryota is just happy that his Aya-chan is beside him and she called him Ryota. He's in heaven.

Sakuragi and Haruko.

'I can't believe I'm alone with Haruko-chan!'

Haruko looked at Sakuragi and smiled at him. Sakuragi smiled back.

"Sakuragi-kun, look, it's so beautiful in here." Haruko said dreamily looking at the scenery in front of them.

"Aa, so beautiful." But Sakuragi's not looking at the scenery but Haruko's face. He felt a surge of happiness fill his heart as he stare at his crush's face.

After a while, Sakuragi tore his eyes away from Haruko and looked at the scenery. He never felt the need to confess to Haruko and instead savored the moment.

Akagi and Kogure.

"I will kill that baka, I will kill that baka." Akagai chanted ever since they got into the ride, glaring daggers to Sakuragi's back. If looks could only kill, Sakuragi's long dead by now.

"Maa maa Akagi, Sakuragi means no harm to your sister."

Having said this, Akagi glared at Kogure.

Kogure flinched and looked away at Akagi wishing in all heavens that he were nowhere near Akagi. 'He really knows when to look scary.' Kogure thought nervously.

Takamiya.

'I'm hungry…'

Noda and Ookusu.

"Hey we must be close to Hanamichi no matter what." Noda said as he strained his neck to look at Sakuragi and Haruko's car.

"Uh-huh. Who knows, what if he suddenly propose to Haruko and gets dumped…" Ookusu said then they both broke down to fits of laughter.

Fuuko and Rukawa.

"Hey Mit-chan lo-. Hey you're not Mit-chan." Fuuko said quite shocked with coming face to face with Rukawa.

Zzzzz…..

"Oh geez, come on Rukawa wake up. Hey look at the scenery e?" Fuuko suggested as she pokes the sleeping raven-haired. Then she prepared herself when the said sleeping boy started to move.

1…2…3…

"Nobody disturbs my sleep." Rukawa said sleepily then raised his fist to make contact with the girl beside him. But before his fist could make contact with Fuuko's face, Fuuko held his fist and glared at him. By this time, Rukawa opened his eyes sleepily and stared at Fuuko.

And after a few minutes, Fuuko started talking and talking much to Rukawa's dismay because he can't sleep with her incessant ramblings.

Mitsui and Yohei.

'I wonder why Rukawa changed seats with me'

'Mmmm, looks like this is going to be an interesting day.'

And both of them were lost in their thoughts that they didn't have the chance to enjoy the scenery before them, not that they care about it…

And soon the ride is over and the group went on their next ride, The Bump Car.

The team has ridden quite a few rides already and has been walking in the amusement park. Soon they were tired and hungry; they decided to take a break.

"Wow it's only half of the day and its really fun in here." Ayako said to the group now that they settled in the seats. The boys, namely Sakuragi and his guntai offered to buy them foods while the others took a booth for the group.

"I know. It's really great that Yohei-kun's parents gave us thos tickets." Haruko exclaimed. Just then the guntai and Sakuragi joined them with the foods.

"Nyahahaha, well I'm really happy that you're having a good time Haruko-chan. Nyahahaha. You should all be thanking me. If it wasn't for my great play against that baka smiley and the rest of them we wouldn't be here. Nyahahaha." Sakuragi boasted to the group while striking his tensai pose.

After eating they're lunch/snack, after a few brawls and bickering, after a few non-senses flirting, after a few snores and drools, and after running for their dear lives because Rukawa's brigade spotted them, they were now hiding in the safety of the Mirror House.

"I can't believe it. How could they have known that he's here?" Mitsui complained.

"Well having a first-hand experience because I also have a bisshie friend, fans like those of Rukawa's have animal instincts. Meaning they can smell where their idol is within a million radius." Fuuko explained matter-of-factly.

Everyone groaned.

"Maybe if we leave the kitsune somewhere then we'll enjoy the rest of the day without having a problem with those ugly bakas." Sakuragi offered.

"Wow, I can't believe Sakuragi has a brilliant mind after all."

whack whack

bam bam

"Itai! Aya-chan why'd you hit me?" Ryota asked tearfully

"Gori what was that for?" Sakuragi wailed

"Do ahous"

"Teme kitsune-"

"Look why don't we just go on okay. Besides I don't think Rukawa's brigade will dare to pester us if Go- I mean Akagi-sempai is here to stop them, e?" Yohei offered.

Rukawa…

Zzzzz….

Soon night came and their day in the amusement park will come to end.

"Hey guys, can we just go to one more ride?" Ayako asked with her puppy dog eyes.

"Of course Aya-chan. Where do you want to go?" Ryota asked lovingly.

"Mmm, why don't we ride the carousel?" The guys' facefaulted and Haruko just smiled sweetly. Sakuragi seeing her koi smile dragged his guntai in the carousel and ride there.

Ayako and Ryota took the Cinderella-like seat. Same with Sakuragi and Haruko, much to Sakuragi's dismay Gori sat with them. The others rode the horses that move up and down. To Fuuko's surprise Rukawa stood beside her horse and slept.

sigh

Thus the day in the amusement park ends.

Ryota is happy because he got to spend time with his beloved Aya-chan.

And so did Sakuragi who got to spend some alone time with Haruko, he also enjoyed some of the rides because he got to pummel Rukawa's ass and he managed to win some stuff toys for Haruko, Ayako and Fuuko.

Akagi is fuming mad because the redhead monkey is getting nearer and nearer to his sister who is too ignorant gomen Haruko> to push Sakuragi away.

Ayako is happy to see another part of Ryota.

Haruko is just happy because she got to spend a day with Rukawa and Sakuragi's really nice with her.

Kogure and the other not-well-known members of the team are just happy to have a break in training and having to spend time with their teammates.

The guntai is happy yet slightly disappointed because Sakuragi isn't dumped yet, it's been a long time since they see entertainment from Hanamichi snicker, snicker>.

Mitsui is happy because he got to spend time with her sister just like before. Though it is not what he expected because a certain kitsune keeps getting near them every time they went to rides and even in their walks sigh>. Oh, and he feels an impending headache coming because he can't figure out what is going on between Rukawa and her sister.

Fuuko is happy as well because she got to spend time with her newfound friends and know them a little because of their antics during the whole day. She is also glad that Rukawa isn't so bad after all. She got a feeling that the reason behind his sudden interest to be near her the whole day is some sort of apology for how he acted before to her.

And Rukawa, well secretly he's happy because it seems that he found someone that he can spend time with, and it seems that she will welcome him to be her friend. Plus, he got to challenge Sakuragi in some of the rides, not that he enjoyed it because it was fun or something…No of course not.
