Chapter 4: Invitation

Days later...

"Rui-sama! Master Rui! You have an invitation from Mr.Domouji and Miss Makino!" Rui stopped and turned around as his maid gave an invitation from Catalina Island. On the front it says:

To: Hanazawa Rui

From: Tsukasa Domouji & Tsukushi Makino

Rui stared at it for a while. "What is this?" Rui thought as he started to open the envelope to see what is inside. He, then, read to himself the content of a small light-peach paper with decorations around it:

"Dear Mr. Sleepy Head,

We're having a party on the 30th of this month as a reunion party. We already sent other invitations to Mimasaka-san, Nishikado-san, and others. Also, here are the tickets for you and some other people (if you want to bring any along) for the trip. Anyway, you have to come or Domouji will force you to. So, see you there!

Tsukushi Makino."

Rui stared at it a little more after finished reading it, then suddenly started laughing. "Sleepy head, huh?" He said with a giggle. He was obviously still have a little feelings left for Tsukushi but he knew he shouldn't, "who said I won't come? I have nothing to do at home anyway!" It's true. Ever since the F4 broke up, Rui was so lonely. He just hang around doing nothing. He was sure it was Tsukushi who brought up this idea because Tsukasa wouldn't.

Rui went to take a haircut. Along his way, he thought about the four weird girls who invited him for lunch but he was the one who had to pay for it. He thought it wasn't his lucky day, and hoped to never see them again.

Meanwhile...

"WHAT?" Ayumi gasped. "Are you serious? Rui is the son of one of four richest families in Japan??!" Ayumi couldn't believe in her own ears.

"You're telling me that? Are you serious?" Noburi gasped, too. But since she had no interest in Rui, she didn't care. Besides, her head doesn't open much to the outside world. She had been trapped in her fantasy world.

"You baka wouldn't understand! You wouldn't care anyway!" Michiyo said.

"That's true!" Aimi corroborated.

"Yea!" Noburi admitted herself.

"So, does that mean a richie dude paid lunch for us?" Ayumi changed the subject back.

"Practically, yes." Aimi answered.

Ayumi and Aimi, on their way to the grocery store...

"So, what are you thinking Ayumi?" Aimi asked. Ayumi has been silent for such a long time now. "Are you ashamed of yourself because we made him pay?"

"Not really. I just can't believe. I feel embarrassed when I think of it now." Ayumi said as she covered her hands over her fully red face.

"DUH, Ayu likes him. Not to mention he's hot, handsome, cool, nice, quiet, and rich. Totally Ayu's type, man!" Noburi jumped on Ayumi's back. She has been following Ayumi and Aimi all the way.

"Wow, Bu! You've been following us. Don't jump out like that." Ayumi said.

"Monkey…" Aimi sighed.

"Hey!!! You have no right to call me that!" Noburi grinned.

"Oh, yes! Believe me, I can." Aimi talked back with a confident smile.

"Right, Yu?" She turned around to look for Ayumi's support.

However,…

"Hah?" Yes, poor Ayumi. She was too busy focusing on "hottie's problem."
