THE WEDDING
By: silver gem yuki and Krizzie
DISCLAIMER: We don't own Captain Tsubasa so stop bothering us so we can continue on with the wedding!
Yuki: Yeah! We're moving a step closer to the wedding! I can't wait!
Krizzie: Speak for yourself! I'm tired… You continue the story!
Yuki: Sure! And now we present…Chapter 4! Their First Year as an engaged couple!
Krizzie: Give it a descent title! (then sleeps)
Yuki: Ok, fine! Their Engagement Years: The First Step!
Krizzie: Whatever…(Talking in sleep)
Yuki: And I dedicate this special section of our chapter to one of our reviewers!
Tsubasa Oozora- the captain of the Nankatsu team. And of course, the star of the show! The cheerful and winsome protagonist, Tsubasa's dream is to go to Brazil and become a professional soccer player. He joins Nankatsu's soccer team at the beginning of the story and leads them to defeat Genzo Wakabayashi, the greatest goalkeeper in Japan. Roberto Hongo has become his own personal mentor. Soccer is his dream, and treats the ball like his friend. Sanae's his partner!
Genzo Wakabayashi- the Nankatsu goalie. He has a bad temper and a really bad personality, but he knows what's right for Tsubasa and the rest of the team. The greatest goalkeeper in Japan. A very prideful person, Wakabayashi refuses to be defeated by anybody...but when Tsubasa does just that, he is won over by the boy's charm and determination, and becomes his good friend. Wakabayashi appears to be a very unpleasant person at times, but really wants what's best for his team, and for Tsubasa
Kazuo and Masao Tachibana- Known for their aerial shots, played for the Hanawa team as midfielders. When playing for Japan, their positions were then changed to forward.
Nitta Shun- Don't know much about him as sometimes he tends not to show up in the anime. Only known him during the game against Otomo. Plays forward. He's a great player.
Mitsuru Sano- Jito's partner-in-crime. Plays side by side with Jito. Doesn't show up that much, so I know little about him. Plays forward for the team Hirado.
Jun Misugi- The "glass ace" of Musashi. Misugi is a very talented soccer player, but has a secret--he has a bad heart, and is only allowed to play for a very short time. He wants to defeat Tsubasa before he gives up soccer, but remains good friends with him. He then agreed to become the coach of the Japan team. He's quite popular with the girls. Even had his own fan club! (And I'm not included…)
Hikaru Matsuyama- The captain of the Furano team. Later on in the manga, he becomes the captain of the Japan team, taking over Tsubasa's and Hyuga's position. Also has a love of his life named Yoshiko Fujisawa.
Ken Wakashimazu- A skilled martial artist as well as one of the best goalkeepers in Japan, Wakashimazu rejoins Meiwa in the semifinals. He is very loyal to Hyuga, and very calm...though he is known to have an occasional burst of temper. In spite of his relatively intimidating appearance, Wakashimazu is not a disagreeable person, though he does tend to annoy his opponents with his rather casual self-assurance...
Taro Misaki- The son of a traveling artist, Misaki quickly becomes Tsubasa's best friend. In fact, the two of them are known as the "Golden Pair" (or "Golden Combi", if you prefer). Misaki is a very skilled soccer player. He is a very kind and gentle person, possibly the most kind in the series, and often acts as a mediator whenever a fight occurs. Has a girlfriend named Azumi Hayakawa.
Takeshi Sawada- Even though he is two years younger than the rest of the players, Takeshi is one of Meiwa's strongest members. He idolizes Hyuga, and wants to support him as much as Hyuga supports his own family. Takeshi is a fairly normal little boy--innocent and friendly. In spite of trouble concerning his age, he remained on the team, as the second member in Meiwa's own "Golden Pair".
Karl Heinz/Hans Schneider- Actually, I just saw him in the movie of Captain Tsubasa, so I don't know that much. All I know is: he's quite a great player. Sees Tsubasa as his rival and friend. According to sources, he acts like a Nazi. Has that blonde hair and a dog named Milo.
Kojiro Hyuga- The captain of Meiwa, Hyuga is extremely violent and competitive, and becomes Tsubasa's rival for a long time. His difficult personality surpasses even Wakabayashi's, but in reality, he is not a bad person. He is very dedicated to caring for his family in the absence of his father. Later on becomes the captain of Toho. Has partner named Maki.
Urabe Hanji- During childhood, played for the Nishioka team. Later on played midfielder for Nankatsu. During teen hood, played for the Otomo team as forward and was chosen to become a defender for the Japan team. He's Ishizaki's best friend. (I think.)
Yuzo Morisaki- the camera doesn't focus mostly on him, so I don't know much. All I know is that he's the goalie for the Nankatsu team and later on a reserved goalie for the Japan team.
Hajime Taki- First introduced in the anime as a forward for the Shutetsu team. Later on played for the Nankatsu team. Plays for the Japan team as a forward. Known for his front teeth. (Hehehehe…)
Mamoru Izawa- One of the cutest soccer players I've ever seen in the anime world (Really!) Plays at midfield and he's quite a good player!
Ryo Ishizaki- First introduced in the anime as Tsubasa's first friend. The two became great friends, and played side by side in every team. Not quite attractable but obnoxious. Always sticking his nose into other people's business. Has a partner named Rika Osawa. (Can you believe it? And Rika's better off with Pierre…)
Teppei Kisugi- First introduced in the anime as a forward for the Shutetsu team then later on for the Nankatsu team. Quite cute, he's a really great player! Plays forward along with Hajime for the Japan team.
Yoshiko Fujisawa- Little is known about this girl. All I know is she has a big crush on Matsuyama but didn't tell him before she moved to America. She's cute if you ask me!
Sanae Nakazawa- The "anego" of Nankatsu's cheering section. At the first part of the story, Sanae is a rather tomboyish girl, and tends to be bossy. Later on, she becomes more ladylike and finally stops shouting. (Finally! Some peace and quiet!)
Kumi Sugimoto- I don't know much about this girl, all I know is she has a big crush on Tsubasa, and is a lot more braver than Sanae.
Yayoi Aoba- an old friend of Tsubasa. Later on falls in love with Jun! (Awwww…)
Azumi Hayakawa- I don't know much about her. All I know is she's Taro's girlfriend. And Maki's a whole lot cuter. Not worthy for Taro! (Jokes!)
Shingo Takasugi- a defender for Nankatsu. Wears the number 6 when he plays with the Nankatsu team. He was first introduced in the anime during a practice match as a reserved goalie. His position was then changed to defender.
Makoto Soda- a defender for the Japan team. He came from the Aichi Team. Special shots are: Razor Shot and Razor Tackle.
Hirochi Jito- Jito is Sano's partner-in-crime. He's the big guy from the Hirado team. Doesn't always go to practice, but he's good.
(I'll try to send some pictures to Honey Nut Loop, if I'll ever be able to find my pictures!)

(Well, aren't they smart?)
The students threw up their diplomas and their togas or whatever you call it…
2 certain people were happy.
They were moving a step closer to their dream.
"Just wait 4 more years…" Sanae told herself.
Everyone was so happy.
Everybody could've died of happiness.
There were tears in their eyes…
Tears of joy…
Tears of sadness…
Everyone was hugging each other; tears continued streaming down their faces.
"I'll miss you guys!" Teppei said in a muffled voice as he hugged Izawa, Hajime and the rest of the team.
Everybody else was crying as well.
Even Hyuga, who hardly ever cries.
They were about to part, to go on with their own paths.
They never knew if they'd ever see each other again.
Tsubasa and Sanae were going their way, Hyuga to Europe, Ken and Takeshi crying their hearts out as their respective leader were to part in just a week….
Everything was going to change.
For the better or the worse.
And there was nothing they could do.
That's how life really is….
You win a lot, you lose a lot.
-The next day, dorm-
Everybody was tired, they cried the whole nightlong.
Sanae woke up to the sound of the phone ringing.
"Who could be calling at this time of day?" Sanae said.
She glanced at the wall clock.
1:00 PM.
Sanae stood up and walked groggily to the phone to pick it up.
"Hello?" Sanae said warily.
"Hi!" 2 voices greeted happily.
It was no other than Sanae's mom and Tsubasa's mom.
"Hi, mom." Sanae said, lifeless.
"We just heard the good news from your friends! I can't believe you and Tsubasa are already engaged! Time flies by so quickly…." Sanae's mom said.
Sanae was alarmed at that statement.
"Don't make such a fuss about it! It's nothing big really!" Sanae said, completely red.
Just then, Tsubasa woke up.
"What's the fuss?" Tsubasa asked, really sleepy.
Sanae was too caught up in the telephone.
"Hey, Sanae! Who are you talking to?" Tsubasa asked.
Tsubasa's mom heard Tsubasa's voice.
Sanae quickly gave the phone to Tsubasa.
"Hello?" Tsubasa said to the telephone.
"Tsubasa!" Tsubasa's mom said to Tsubasa.
Tsubasa was now wide awake.
"To congratulate you and your friends for graduating college and to celebrate your engagement, we decided to give the team a trip to Paris! How does that sound?" Tsubasa's mom said.
"That sounds great! When will we be leaving?" Tsubasa asked.
"Tomorrow! We'll be there to pick everybody up! Even the cheerleading team! Bye!" 2 voices said and put the phone down.
The sound of the dial tone.
Tsubasa was surprised.
He put the phone down.
"So?" Sanae asked.
"We're off to Paris." Tsubasa said.
-Later on, when everyone is now awake-
"What!" The whole team exclaimed to Tsubasa.
"I told you! We're off to Paris, whether you like it or not! My mom already made the reservations, and there's nothing I can do about it!" Tsubasa shouted back.
"Well, that was quick." Hyuga said and settled down.
"Sorry!" Tsubasa apologized.
"We're off to Paris!" Krizzie Kurisaki, the captain of the cheerleading team, said in an astonished voice.
"Paris is a shopper's heaven!" Yuki said dreamily.
"Paris is also called the city of Love! It's perfect!" Yoshiko Fujisawa, Matsuyama's soon-to-be-girlfriend, said.
"And a lot of cool sights!" Yayoi Aoba, Musashi's resident manager and Jun's soon-to-be-fiancée, said.
"And a soccer heaven!" Krizzie said.
"And a lot of cool soap operas!" Kumi Sugimoto, the other manager of the Nankatsu team, said.
"Paris! Here we come!" Yoshiko said and the girls went out of the room.
Everyone just sweatdropped.
"Right now, we just have accept the offer! We'll just be staying there for 2 weeks!" Sanae said.
"Right! Now let's get going! We only have a day before my parents come pick us up!" Tsubasa said and pushed everybody to their respective rooms.
-The next day-
"Tsubasa!" a lady's voice shouted.
It was no other than Tsubasa's mom.
"Good morning!" another lady's voice greeted.
It was no other than Sanae's mom.
"Ready to go?" Tsubasa's mom said.
"I think." Tsubasa replied.
"Well, get in the bus! We don't have forever, you know!" Sanae's mom said.
"Good morning!" the whole team and the cheerleading team greeted and bowed.
"Thanks so much!" the whole team plus the cheerleading team said.
"Let's get going!" Tsubasa's mom said, popping out of nowhere.
-Later on that day-
"Well, I hope everybody's comfortable!" Sanae's mom said.
They were now in the plane.
"Just a few more hours and we'll be in Paris! I can't wait! Come on! Can this plane fly any faster?" Yuki said, getting impatient.
Everybody just slept to pass the time.
-Later on-
Another beautiful afternoon in gay Paris.
People were coming out of the plane.
"Bonjour, gay Paris!" Krizzie greeted.
"Sayonara Japan, Konnichiwa Paris!" Yayoi said.
Everybody was happy.
Right after graduation, they get to go to Paris.
What's next?
"Looks like I've made a slight miscalculation… You guys will be staying here in Paris for a few months!" Tsubasa's mom said after talking to her phone.
"What!" everybody exclaimed.
"We've made a slight miscalculation in the timetable…… Apparently, you should be staying here in Paris for just 2 weeks, but then we had it all mixed up, so you'll be staying here in Paris for about 5 months…" Sanae's mom said.
"No way!" the whole team exclaimed.
"It's all right… it can't be that bad!" Tsubasa's mom said.
"We need a tour guide!" Ken exclaimed, really surprised.
"Ok,Ok! We'll hire a tour guide….." Sanae's mom said and took out her phone.
"Aren't you the Japan team?" a girl's voice said.
The all turned around to see a girl with orange hair accompanied by a boy with shoulder-length, brown hair.
"Well hello, Rika and Pierre! Haven't seen you for a long time…" Tsubasa's mom said.
"Hello, Mrs. Oozora!" the girl greeted.
"How would you like to guide this team around Paris? They'll be staying here for quite a while, due to our great miscalculation!" Tsubasa's mom said to the girl.
"That sounds fine with me!" the girl said.
"Everyone, we'd like to introduce to you Rika Osawa and Pierre. We've known them during one trip here to Paris, so they'll be your tour guide the whole time you're here in Paris!" Sanae's mom said.
"So, where will we be staying here for 5 months?" Krizzie asked.
"We've already taken care of that!" Sanae's mom said, popping out of nowhere beside her.
-Later on after driving down Paris's roads and highways-
"Where are we?" Nitta asked, looking around his surroundings.
It was all palm trees, the road and the endless sight of the sea.
"We're almost there!" Tsubasa's mom shouted.
Soon enough, they arrived at a mansion just beside the beach.
"You rented this…?" Tsubasa asked, at a loss of words, looking at the big peach house in front of them.
The mansion was just humongous.
10 teams could fit in it.
It was as big as a mall.
"No, we didn't rent this! We own this!" Tsubasa and Sanae's mom said at the same time, presenting them with the house.
"And someday when you get married we'll pass this house on to you!" Sanae's mom said and pushed everybody inside.
(It looked a lot like Jessie's house from Full House, you know, the Korean Novela that's really famous?)
"And Rika and Pierre has unlimited access to this house since they are your tour guides. Well, let's not waste any more time! Let's take a full view of the house!" Tsubasa's mom said.
"But we have 5 months!" Ishizaki said.
"Correction! You have 5 months here, but we have 5 hours here!" Sanae's mom said.
"Why?" everybody asked.
"Because we've got to get back to work! See you! Just keep on exploring!" Tsubasa's mom said and, together with Sanae's mom, dashed out of the house.
"Well, that was weird." Hyuga said.
"Well, they did say keep on exploring, so why don't we search the house?" Yuki said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
-In one of the rooms-
"Well, what's with all these gowns?" Yoshiko asked and held up a pink, flower-inspired gown.
"Hey…I could still remember these gowns… I remember this! My sister used to wear this during my aunt's wedding…" Yuki said and held up a white gown.
"Wait a minute…what are all of my relative's gowns doing in here!" Yuki asked as she kept on looking at the gowns scattered all over the room.
"My mom has so much explaining to do." Sanae said and took out her cell phone.
Finally, after at least ten minutes, Sanae was done with the talking.
"Mom said that Yuki's mom was also her friend. They decided to dump all these gowns here since it took up too much space in Japan." Sanae explained.
"We could still use these gowns for your wedding…" Krizzie said after surveying the gowns.
"Look at this blue one! Isn't it cute!" Riza Kawamori, another cheerleader, said and held up a long, flowing blue dress covered in sequins.
"That's so kawaii!" Kimi Tanamashi, another cheerleader, said as she admired the dress Riza was holding.
"This peach one looks cute…" Yayoi said and held up a peach gown with a bow across the waist.
"You're right!" Ria Nayomi, yes, another cheerleader, said and stared at it.
The rest just kept searching the pool of dresses until they found a white gown.
"I remember this! My mom said this was the gown she wore when she and dad got married! That was so kawaii!" Yuki said and held the white gown up.
A thin material covered the dress, almost as soft as silk, it was spaghetti-strapped and something at the back that was long.
"Whatever." The boys said. They weren't interested at gowns at all.
"show a bit of appreciation!" Ana Kabayakawa, yet another cheerleader, said.
-OK, let me just introduce the cheerleading team, OK?-
Riza Kawamori- a great student of Nankatsu High, though frequently late. She's pretty handy, especially at Math. Craziest one in the group. Has dark violet hair with matching ice blue eyes.
Yuki Tamane-a student of Nankatsu High. Most evil in the group. The vice captain of the cheerleading team. Has long, brown hair with green emerald eyes.
Lina Hayamasaki- a transfer student from the Paris. New to Japan, she's quite quiet. Immediately became a part of the group when Yuki recruited her. A bit crazed.
Reuloko Mido- the only boy in the group. Quite the philosopher and the stupid one. Acts as the manager or assistant of the cheerleading team.
Krizzie Kurisaki- The captain of the cheerleading team. Spunky and crazy, she likes to have fun in lots of ways, one is through cheerleading.
Ana Kabayakawa- a quiet girl. It's still a mystery why she joined the cheerleading team. Has long, pink hair with violet eyes.
Trina Tomanagi- a girl who's adventurous. Likes to go jet skiing, sky gliding and parachuting. Has short black hair with brown eyes.
Rianne Sagara- most mature in the group. Closest friend of Riza, seeing that they're both crazy. Has violet hair with pink orbs.
Denni Amano- probably the most serious in the group. She likes to have fun sometimes. OK, most of the time! Likes cheerleading as much as she likes to hang out with her friends.
Ian Hiyane- also one of the most serious girls in the group. It's a mystery why she joined the cheerleading team.
Louei Kakei- the cutest one in the group. Loves to hang out in the mall and loves to go cheerleading.
Rika Dumonoji- the group's brains. Being a smarty pants pays off. She mostly gets the group out of trouble.
Kimi Tanamashi- Local anime addict of the group. Loves anime so much her room is a living anime world!
Ria Nayomi-also an anime addict. Loves to draw so much that her bedroom's filled with a thousand sketch pads, a million papers in her bag and a zillion other art stuff.
Akari Hattori- most anime addict of all anime addict in the group. Loves anime so much her whole life is dedicated to anime.
Chary Kirisawa-shy one. Also an anime addict like the others.
Kihyan Matsumura- Anime addict like the others. Loves to have sleepovers at her house.
Ina Tanashi- Like Kimi, her room's filled with everything anime!
Kassandra Koleen- The youngest part f the group. She tends to act sily sometimes, which gets she and the group into lots of trouble.
Kimby Mitateshi- well, let's just say she's the most girly-girly of the group. She joined the cheerleading club because it's for girls only. Sometimes, the whole team gets pissed off with her because she tends to get girly-girly at the wrong times.
-Well, I think that's all of the team!-
"We could use the rest of the gowns for flower girls, maid of honor and the rest of the wedding crew." Akari said.
"Which means that, we better get gong to the mall to choose your bridal gown!" Krizzie said to Sanae.
Krizzie: Hey! That's me!
Yuki: You were in the story a whole lot earlier, you know.
Krizzie: I was!
Yuki: Now please, stop interrupting the story!
"hey, isn't it a bit to early to buy a bridal gown?" Sanae said.
"No it's not!" Chary shouted from out of nowhere.
"Better now than never!" Trina said.
"Well, when the time comes, what if it doesn't fit me?" Sanae said defensively.
"Yeah, right…" Krizzie said.
"Well, why you guys sort this out, I'll be out watching TV…" Yuki said and quietly slipped out of the room.
"Oh, no you're not!" Krizzie shouted annoyingly.
"Come here! You're part of this now, so you better work with us!" Krizzie exclaimed to the vice captain.
Yuki just laughed.
"Stop laughing like a maniac idiot!" Krizzie said at the longhaired girl.
"Come here!" Krizzie said calmly with a vein popping out of her head.
"Mommy!" Yuki wailed as she struggled to get out of Krizzie's clutches.
"Hey, what's that?" Yuki asked as an exclamation point appeared at her left side.
"What's what?" Krizzie asked.
"There's a piece of paper over there…" Yuki said.
Krizzie let go of Yuki as Yuki walked over to the table.
"A ticket?" Yuki asked uncertainly.
"A ticket to the mall?" Krizzie asked after surveying the paper.
"Do you know what that means?" Yuki asked.
Krizzie nodded.
"Shopping!" Yuki and Krizzie said at the same time.
"Let's go! I want to go shopping here in Paris. Let's see what they got." Yoshiko said.
The boys just stood there quietly.
"Wanna come?" Ina asked.
"No way! Shopping are for girls!" Ishizaki said annoyingly.
"Then you can stay here at the house while we go out shopping. You can survive on your own, right?" Akari said as she headed out the door.
"Wait a minute-" Before Taro could finish his sentence, the girls were out of the house.
"Can we survive?" Taro asked to particularly nobody.
"I hope." Nitta replied.
After 10 hours passed, the girls returned carrying a lot of bags.
They've been busy shopping.
"Too bad we still haven't found the perfect bridal gown." Kassandra said and took a seat.
"Yeah." Rika D. said, obviously tired of walking around.
"Tomorrow let's go visit the Eiffel Tower!" Rika O. said popping out of nowhere.
"Yeah!" the rest said.
Before they knew it, they've drifted off to dreamland.
The next day, they all scampered for the door so they could go to Eiffel Tower.
"First of all, nobody will separate from the group or else we'll have to leave you on your own." Rika O. explained.
"Number 2, we'll just be there to visit so nobody must litter." Pierre said.
"Thirdly, no joking around." Rika O. said.
"OK, we're here. Please remember to stick together." Pierre said and they went out of the bus in two straight lines.
Everybody awed and ohhed. The Eiffel Tower was so big.
"Let's go up!" Rika O. said and forced them to go up.
"Going up!" Pierre said as he pushed the up button of the elevator.
"Exactly how many floors does the Eiffel Tower have?" one of them asked.
"Dunno." Rika O. replied with a shrug of the shoulders.
-After around 10 minutes, more or less-
"Are we there yet?" an annoyed Ishizaki asked.
"Almost." Rika O. replied.
-After waiting another 10 minutes-
"We're almost there!" Rika O. said.
"Finally!" everyone replied with a sign of relief. They were walking up and down the whole Eiffel Tower for the last 20 minutes.
"I'm tired!" Ina complained as they finally reached the top floor of the very much high Eiffel Tower.
"Wow! The view here is just spectacular!" Yuki said as she stared at the very beautiful view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
"Your view from here can reach up to 40 miles!" Pierre said in a know-it-all voice.
"Really?" Krizzie replied.
"Uhm!" Pierre replied.
The sound of a stomach growling.
Tsubasa turned red.
"Aww… is my little pudding pie hungry?" Sanae cooed as she stroked Tsubasa's hair.
"Uhm!" Tsubasa replied.
'Ewww……sometimes they could just so mushy!" Yuki thought with a sweatdrop.
"There's a nearby restaurant here! Wanna eat there?" Rika D. asked.
"Is it pasta?" Tsubasa asked.
"No…I think it was more of a cake shop…" Rika D. said uncertainly.
"Great! I don't eat pasta that much, but I think cake will do!" Tsubasa said.
-Later on, at the said cake shop-
"Yummy, yummy, yummy strawberry shortcake…" Tsubasa sang as he sat down on a table-for-two kind of table.
The rest sat on a big table good enough to fit them all.
Sanae sat beside Tsubasa.
"Tsubasa, I think it's time for you to grow up." Sanae said firmly.
"What do you mean?" Tsubasa asked as he placed both his elbows o the back of the chair and placed his right ankle on his left knee.
"We're already engaged. In four years time we'll be married. Try to act more of your age than a kid." Sanae said calmly.
-At the big table-
"How kawaii! Go on, give us a PDA!" Yuki screamed dreamily.
"What's a PDA?" Genzo asked with a mouthful of strawberry shortcake.
"Public display of Attention, duh!" Yuki replied.
"Are you sure there is anything inside that brain of yours?" Krizzie asked.
"Humph!" Genzo scowled in anger and held his head up high.
'Know-it-all-but-doesn't-know-anything-at-all!' Yuki and Krizzie thought.
"I heard that!" Genzo said with a vein popping out of his head.
"What!" Krizzie and Yuki said at the same time, with an angry yet innocent voice.
"Do you have mind reading powers?" Krizzie asked, annoyed.
"No, but I heard that!" Genzo shouted back.
"Yeah right. So what did we say?" Yuki asked.
Genzo didn't reply.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue!" Both girls said and burst out laughing.
They didn't notice that Tsubasa and Sanae were already…uhh…kissing.
Nobody noticed them because the attention was focused on Yuki, Krizzie and Genzo, who was trying his best not to be pissed off just by a couple of girls.
Yuki turned around to see Tsubasa and Sanae kissing.
Her face turned dreamy.
"KAWAII!" she suddenly shouted.
"What!" Genzo and Krizzie asked.
They looked at Tsubasa and Sanae. Both of them had horror-stricken faces.
"YUCK!" The both of them shouted.
"Uhh… How do you call those things?" Genzo asked.
"Romantic!" Yuki shouted.
"Yucky!" Krizzie and Genzo shouted in unison.
The two lovers broke up.
"Didn't you notice that for the first time, Krizzie and Genzo agreed on something?" Sanae said to Tsubasa.
Tsubasa just nodded in response.
They both watched as Genzo, Krizzie and Yuki started pinching each other's cheeks and then started hitting each other playfully on the face.
Izawa came up to the three of them holding a fan, three veins popping out of his head.
Izawa hit them on the head using the fan. (Sanzo-style)
"shut up! I'm trying to do my English, Science and Math assignment here!" Izawa scolded.
"Why? We don't have classes anymore." The three asked in their chibi forms.
"He's planning on entering BS Engineering." Taro replied.
"You know what, I keep on wondering why on earth or how on earth did he become salutatorian I mean, he just do his assignment on the last minute." Yuki said.
"You know what? For the first time, I'm gonna agree with a girl." Genzo said.
"And every time the teacher asks him a question, he usually answers 'I don't know'." Krizzie said in agreement.
"Then why on earth is he called the 'Header Specialist' in soccer?" Genzo asked.
The three paused for a while to think of an answer.
Then, Yuki spoke up.
"I know! Every time he gets his head hit, one lesson is erased from his memory! But I still don't get it why he became the salutatorian of our school…" Yuki said and resumed to think.
Izawa, who was nearby, heard every single word. The more insults he received, one vein popped to his head. At the end of Yuki's sentence, Izawa broke the pencil he was holding.
"SHUT UP!" Izawa shouted at the top his lungs.
Everyone stared at him in surprise.
After Izawa's sudden break out, everyone went quiet and returned home quietly.
OK, we'll just fast forward the story. We're tired of typing and it'll take us forever to finish this chapter! OK, now the present time is already 7 months after…December 7…
"Happy birthday, Hot-headed, inconsiderate jerk!" The whole team shouted to Genzo.
Yes, today was his birthday.
How old, you ask?
Dunno. Ask the birthday kid.
They were holding his birthday party inside the four walls of their dorm.
Yes, the dorm that has kept them together since time memorial…
Hyuga wasn't there to beat Genzo up on his special day.
They were playing a game called 'Spin the Bottle'.
Krizzie: If you don't know what 'Spin the Bottle' is, then I'm here to explain. How about you Yuki? Do you know what 'Spin the Bottle' is?
Yuki: Dunno. You explain it because you're the one who gave that idea…
Krizzie: Ok! 'Spin the Bottle' is a game played to spice things up! The one who spins the bottle and the one to which the bottle points at after spinning gets to kiss, have 7 minutes in Heaven or dot dot dot….
Yuki: Yuck! How could you!
Krizzie: Why? Don't you like games like that?
Yuki: Never!
Krizzie: Ok, fine. Get on with the story.
Yuki: Oh, right.
It was Tsubasa's turn to spin the bottle.
Krizzie: I don't recommend this game to anyone who already has a lover. You might get heartbroken.
Yuki: Well, You're the one who suggested this game!
He twisted the bottle.
The bottle goes on, round and round and round…
Krizzie: Hopefully, it will land on Sanae!
Yuki: And if it doesn't?
Krizzie: Well, it will be your fault!
Yuki: Me again!
Finally, the bottle started to slow down.
Krizzie: Finally! It's about time the bottle slow down.
The bottle suddenly halted to a stop.
It stopped on…
Sanae.
Yep. It stopped on Sanae.
So, that means that Sanae and Tsubasa had to either kiss or chose 7 minutes in Heaven.
But I personally chose kiss.
And so they did.
Genzo pretended to barf.
And so did Krizzie.
Yuki just sat there dreamily.
The rest just looked at the three of them.
It was then Izawa's turn to spin the bottle.
Yuki: Ahahahahahaha! (Evil laugh)
Krizzie: You wouldn't dare…
Yuki: I would dare! Hahahahaha!
Izawa turned the bottle.
Krizzie: No! Give me that computer! Get away from that! (Tries to pry Yuki off the computer to stop her from typing)
Yuki: Get off me! You said I should type the 4th chapter, and that's exactly what I'm doing! Duh!
The bottle went round and round until it stopped.
In front of Taro.
Krizzie: hu-WHAT! That's bad! Yaoi!
Yuki: Nuh-uh! They're just gonna kiss, that's all!
Krizzie: Parental Guidance! Change the rating to T!
Yuki: If I knew how.
Krizzie: (scratches her temples) you drive me nuts!
Yuki: But I don't know how to drive.
Genzo, Krizzie and Yuki gasped.
Yes, even Yuki.
"Ok, I thought that Sanae and Tsubasa look cute...but Taro and Izawa! That's just plain yuck!" Yuki said.
"Agreed." Genzo and Krizzie said at the same time.
"My gosh! Salutatorian and Valedictorian? That's just plain yucky!" Tsubasa exclaimed.
Izawa and Taro blushed mad.
'It's only Taro. No biggy. We're friends.' Izawa thought.
'Come on, Taro! It's just Izawa. No big deal! It's just a game. Come on, Taro, calm down…calm down…' Taro thought.
The two gulped.
Izawa went nearer to Taro.
'Ok, let's just get over this.' Izawa said to himself as he gulped again.
Taro could feel his breath getting heavier and heavier as Izawa's face was just inches away.
Taro gulped and his whole body was shaking.
'Ok, this is your first kiss from a boy. No big deal.' Taro and Izawa thought at the same time.
They both gulped again.
"Stop the gulping and get it over with!" Yuki screamed.
The weather outside was cold. It just started snowing.
"Close your eyes." Izawa whispered to Taro.
Taro did what he was told.
Izawa slowly closed his eyes as he got nearer Taro.
Slowly, he came closer to Taro's lips.
'My gosh! Izawa's lips are just there! What am I going to do!' Taro thought.
Slowly, their lips met.
Izawa's against Taro's.
Their lips finally touched.
The kiss lasted for only a second, but they both felt like they were in hell for the last few months.
They both returned to their positions, red all over and the game continued.
Fast forward again. December 20…
Today was now Izawa's birthday!
"happy birthday boy-who-kissed-a-boy boy!" The whole team greeted when Izawa opened his door, still in his pajamas, hair all over, rubbing his eyes. The guys just won't stop knocking and he was really getting pissed off.
Taro, his roommate, woke up to the sudden noise.
"Oh, yeah. Happy birthday, Izawa-kun." Taro greeted.
They never wanted to that game again after what happened between Izawa and Taro.
Fast forward again. December 25, Christmas…
"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Tsubasa greeted gleefully as they gathered around the Christmas tree.
At the foot of the Christmas tree, boxes covered in a variety of colors flooded the foot of the tree.
"Merry Christmas to everybody!" everyone shouted at each other as they grabbed a box and continued to tear off the wrappers.
Fast forward again. December 29…
"Happy birthday, long-haired freakazoid!" The whole team greeted gleefully.
Fast forward again. New Year's Eve…
Girls were dressed in their kimonos. They were gathered at the Shrine to welcome the New Year.
"Happy New Year, Izawa-kun." Taro greeted. The boys were wearing casual clothing.
He found Izawa in one of the stalls trying to catch a fish for Krizzie.
"Happy New Year too, Taro-kun." Izawa greeted.
"What about me? Just because you guys kissed doesn't mean that you have to leave me behind!" Krizzie said.
"Gomen, Krizzie-chan. Happy New Year, Krizzie!" Taro and Izawa greeted at the same time.
"Happy New Year too!" Krizzie greeted back.
They found Genzo and Yuki in the ring-throwing stall and Yuki was definitely winning.
They invited them to join their group for a picture, and the two agreed.
Why?
Yuki: She always wanted to take a picture!
Genzo: He was losing. He was really thankful that Taro showed up! --'
And so did Tsubasa and Sanae.
They found the picture-taking stall. They paid the price before fixing themselves for the picture.
When the camera flashed, Yuki and Krizzie both stood up to cover Genzo, Taro and Izawa looking at them with sweatdrops, and Tsubasa and Sanae were both hugging each other.
When the picture was developed, everybody could just laugh because two girls were covering Genzo.
"Laugh all you like! I'm gonna take my revenge, one way or the other!" Genzo screamed in annoyance. This just made everybody laugh more.
Finally, when they already had enough laughs for the day, they went to the open soccer field and watch the fireworks display.
It was just magnificent. The colors of the firecrackers were just mesmerizing. Against the dark sky, the neon colors look outstanding. Everybody stared at it in amazement.
The firecrackers were mirrored in everybody's eyes. You could tell that everybody was happy to see the beautiful display.
Fast forward again. Summer time…
"Yeah! Summer's here! Summer's here!" Yuki sang.
"Well, where should we head to first? The beach?" Krizzie asked.
"Definitely." Yuki replied.
OK, fine! Sorry for the long delay! Anyway, here's the 4th chapter of the story, and we'll just continue it in the 5th chapter! Again, very sorry for the delay.
What will happen? Is there a chemistry going on between Izawa and Taro? The story's not focused on them! Anyway, for the next chapter there'll be more love scenes (no rated R scenes, we warn you!) and thank you for reading! Before exiting, please drop by a review. Arigato!
