-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was bright, the birds were chirping, the clouds forming shapes in the sky. A beautiful day for Spring.

But today was like no other.


"Hey, Tatsuki! You know, I really think that you can be a model!"

"Wow, Keigo! You really think so?" asked an oblivious Tatsuki.

From the unseen dam blocking Keigo's face from bursting out into laughter, Tatsuki should have known to never listen to Keigo.

"April Fools!" shouted Keigo, laughing menacingly at the karate fighter.

Infuriated, Tatsuki balled her hands into fists and punched Keigo in the face, sending him flying with a bloody nose. "Whose the joke on now, punk?"

"Tatsuki! You're such a great fighter! I really wish that I could fight like you one day," said Tatsuki's best friend, Orihime.

"Well, I guess everyone just really wants to fight like me. I mean, what can I say? Oh, and Orihime, would you like to come to the movies today? It's Friday, and everyone's coming! We're going to go see Gun Slingers," said Tatsuki.

"Well, I was kinda planning on-"

"Oh, Orihime! Just come with us! Just this once?"

"Well, okay, I guess," Orihime reluctantly agreed.


"I wonder where everyone is...."

A lone Orihime stood outside of the Karakura movie theatre, unknown of the fact that she had been set up. Standing alone, she had already purchased her ticket and was about to be on her way to view her screening, even if she was by herself.

Now knowing that none of her friends were going to show up, Orihime turned around and opened the door to the theatre's lobby, but was suddenly caught unprepared.

"Hey, Orihime! What are you doing here all by youself? Are the others waiting inside?"

Just hearing his voice made Orihime's heart skip a beat.

"Oh, hi, Ichigo! Well, um, as you can see, I'm here all by myself, and I've already bought my ticket. But it's okay, really! You don't have to come see this movie with me. Honest."

Lie, Orihime thought.

King! This is your chance to get some action! You know that I know how long you've been waiting.

Ichigo really hated his inner hollow.

"Orihime, you can't see that movie all by yourself! There are some pretty creepy guys in there, and I won't have it."


With her feet plopped up on the seat in front her, Rukia sat way up top in the row of seats for Gun Slinger, quietly chatting and observing.

"Hey, Rukia, how's everything going?"

"Just perfect! They're sitting right next to each other. Oh, and you can thank me for my genius ideas!" said Rukia to the other person on the line, smirking at her April Fools scheme.


A/N: I know; it sucked! I felt totally uninspired during this chapter, but hey, I did my best! I also apologize for the extremely late update! *^_^*

Also, here were some great questions asked by you, the Reviewers!

1. How you don't use honorifics? A: I started out with the English manga and worked my way to volume 16 or so, and I am used to them calling each other Ichigo and Orihime!

2. Will the drabbles form a story? A: Absolutely not! XD That's just too much work and a lot of trouble, albeit a great idea if anyone is up to the challenge!
