Today is it! I'm waking up at 8:30 to drive to the dry cleaning service and picking up our dresses. Why me? Well, Midori likes to sleep after being on the computer so damn much, reading her fanfics. I tell her to get a real life while she drools over some videogame person. He's not real! (A/N: i apologize for that... im like that... along with most of my friends... not saying ne names tho...) And Kuuki, well, she's just Kuuki. She's a little under a year older than me, like 11 months or something. She was my senpai througout koutou gakkou, so it was only natural that I don't disturb her... or else.
While getting my breakfast, I saw the times for the appointments, and the estimated costs. 'Day-Spa treatment at 2:30 pm: $69.99 (group of three discount), Hair and Nails at 3:30 pm: $34.99 (friendly discount), so we should start preparing now,' I thought as I ate my cereal and toast. I smirked evilly.
I began to walk to Midori's bed, and I set her alarm clock for 5 minutes from now. I turned the alarm on, and counted down mentally. '3...2...1...-'
"Kyaa! We're under attack!" she screamed. Kuuki sat up-right, eyes on the verge of popping out of their respectful sockets.
"Heh, and you guys say I can't be evil?" I laughed out. My senpai threw her foamy purple pillow at me, hitting me up-side my face.
"Your momma!" she yelled out.
"Ah, ah, ah!" I waved a single finger at her. I grabbed the foamy pillow again, and took off running with it.
"Go get our dresses, Iruka!" Midori cried out through her yawn. I dropped Kuuki's pillow with a huff. What a way to ruin someone's fun. I rolled my eyes, and popped the remainding toast into my mouth, some still hanging out as I exited our home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dry-cleaning plus honking men plus slow drivers is equal to hell! I love my car unconditionally (besides the fact it can go past 80mph without a second thought), even if it is rough around the edges. These "hot-shot" guys drive around their elite sportsters, and won't go past 35mph. Our dresses came home, each in one piece, and all my roomies could do was gawk at them.
"I like that purple one!" Midori pointed. The purple one I held was one of those modest gowns, where it showed off your curves, but not too much. It was covered by a black gauze-like material that was almost completely covered in beads making out flower shapes. Nonetheless, it was spaghetti-strapped. Not Midori-like to choose one like that.
"The white one looks cool!" Kuuki smiled. The white one held a similar floral design as Midori's chosen dress, without the beads. The dress was actually two pieces: one was the slip and the other was the dress itself. This one was very beautiful, and showed off everything, and it was a good thing it had sleeves too! That's my senpai!
The one I had truly come to love was my big blue gown: the torso of the dress was slim, and was adorned silver beads, the effect as if it were snowing; the back was cross-laces, adjust the tightness in the back, and tie it off, and had an invisible zipper; the bottom of the dress I loved the most due to the extreme puffiness and the fact it made me look more... what's the word... innocent?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's suit up now, girls!" I yelled out as soon as we got home from the day-spa.
"She did a really good job on our hair, for so little too!" Kuuki said, surprised. 'Boy, do I have connections, or what?' I thought to myself.
"What time is it?" Midori asked. I looked at the clock on our wall.
"It's 6:30. We should really dress-up now!" I told them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We each entered our rooms casual, exited out our rooms formal. The dresses were perfect on us. I had been meaning to find a way to wear this dress besides to see if it still fits. Now I have one finally. We went into the doorway, looking at the clock that read 7:15. I took one last look in the mirror that was right there.
"We look drop-dead!" I exclaimed. I looked at Kuuki's hair.
Her deep purple hair was swept up excluding the few tendrils of hair spiraling downwards to meet her shoulders. Her bright red eyes showed a satisfactory glance towards her reflection.
Midori glanced at the mirror also. Her emerald green hair was curled loosely around her shoulders and neck. Her lime green eyes glanced my direction.
As for me, I looked great! My short and golden curly hair was up-swept with a few curls framing my face. My forest green eyes darted to the clock, and a set ofknock echoed down the halls.
We opened the door to see a tall black-haired man dressed in a dark green-almost black- suit."Your ride to the Hi no Doukutsu has arrived, madames," he announced.
"Oh, we aren't madames," I blushed, "we're mademoiselles." He knew what I was saying and quickly apologized for his mistake. He held the door open for the three of us, as I held our Tickets of Yuujou. "Umm, excuse me sir, but what time do we come back here? I didn't say in the letter we received, so I was curious," I asked.
The driver smiled. "Whatever time you wish, mademoiselle."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thirty minutes passed and we arrived perfectly on time. We entered through the two biggest doors I have ever seen in my short life!
"Welcome, to Hi no Doukutsu," a short man in red said as he took our tickets.
This place was huge! The main foyer had seven doors on both the left and right, a staircase from both ends joining at the bottom, a sea of almost endless amounts of people! The room was lit up to come off as a gold color, everyone was practically glowing! A string group was playing a waltz of some sort, some danced others talked about something or another.
A man with blonde hair and aqua eyes approached Midori. His tuxedo was a lighter green than the driver's suit. "May I have this dance?" he bowed and held out his hand. Midori blushed profusely and took his hand with one,. and waved at us with the other.
"There goes one of us," I said mostly to myself. Kuuki laughed.
"Umm, excuse me, miss?" a small voice called, tugging lightly on her dress. Kuuki looked down to see a almost an exact copy of the first man. "May I have this dance before I go to sleep?"
She held her hand up, the look given saying "Aww! That's too kawaii!" She took his hand, hunched over.
I sighed and leaned against the wall, and watched my friends dance away. I smiled sadly, going deep into thought (though I don't remember what it was about).
A man with deep blue hair approached me and bowed. "My, aren't you a beauty!" he gasped out, smiling from ear to ear. "My name is Marth, and you, fair maiden?"
"Iruka," I curtsied, watching the end of my dress touch the floor even more. Marth held out his hand to me, smiling kindly.
"May I have this dance?"
I placed my hands in his, and it was when Marth spun me around that I saw someone with... red hair...?
'Could it be... Fukanou! What are the chances...?'
Translations:
senpai- upper-classman
koutou gakkou- high school
kawaii- cute
Fukanou!- impossible!
Me: happy, Marth?
Marth: w00t! i got my first dance!
Me: yep! with me at that! ur lucky i dont have two left feet!
Marth: or two right feet, ne?
Me: 0.0!
Rynada: OMG OMG OMG OMG! she dances with Link!
Me: yep... ;sigh;
Senpai: wut?
Me: ur face!
Senpai: only i can say that! ;hits anigirl;
Me: ouch! well, until next time, (says it really fast!) Sayonara, Minna-san! ;sticks out tongue at Senpai, Rynada, Marth and the sleeping Link;
