Chapter 3

"Ok, since we're all here, why don't we ride the ferris wheel together in one spot." Hotaru said it intentionally to make Ruka feel embarrassed. "There's no problem, right Ruka or is there?"

"No. Of course not. What do you think I am? I'm not afraid of heights. Of course not." Ruka answered but deep inside, he really wanted to run that instance.

"No one said that. You're the one who said that."

"Of course. Why would anyone think that. I just want to clear it."

"Ok then let's go!"

"No way. If you want to go, then go but me and my partner are not going." Natsume said and leave immediately.

"Stop." Mikan shouted. "What do you think you're doing? They're going so we must also go!"

"Then go!"

"Don't you see that we are locked by this stupid chain!"

"Of course I see it and we can't do anything about it!"

"Then you can't leave."

"Don't tell me that you're afraid."

"Of course not."

"Prove it. Let's go"

"Mikan already knows how to provoke Natsume." Hotaru said with a giggle.

"Let's go somewhere else Hotaru." Ruka invited him.

"Why? I thought you're not afraid or you want me to sell this pictures of you with your beloved animals?"

"Ok fine."

"Then let's go."

"Speaking of provoking, I'm better that Mikan in doing that." Hotaru whispers.

"Ok, let's go everybody!" Yuu said to them.

"Yes! I will now have a chance to be with Natsume and Ruka!" Sumire whispers.

"Ok, next batch, you can now enter the ferris wheel. Each spot in the ferris wheel can only handle 4 people so if you exceed the number, please transfer in another place. Thank you." The announcer announced.

"Sumire, looks like we must be in different place from the others." Yuu said.

"What?! But I want to be with Natsume and Ruka."

"You can't separate those two. Maybe, in another ride, we can be together but now, we won't."

"Ugh!"

Inside the Ferris Wheel

Natsume-Mikan and Ruka-Hotaru are in the same place in the ferris wheel while Yuu-Sumire are in different place.

"Hotaru, I'm so glad that we're together!" Mikan said while embracing Hotaru.

"Sit properly, you idiot! I can already see your stripes panty!" Natsume said.

Mikan sit immediately and slapped Natsume in his face! "You're really a pervert, Natsume! How can you do this to me? I'm your partner!"

Hotaru realized that Ruka is blushing.

"Why are you blushing, Ruka?" Hotaru asked.

"Me? I'm not blushing."

"Yes, you are."

"Wait, I just realized Ruka, why are you here? I thought you're…" Before Natsume, finished what he's saying…

"Stop! Why would I not be here? It's not like I'm afraid of heights!"

"Yeah, yeah, I just thought that, uhh, nothing."

Now, let's see what Yuu-Sumire pair doing.

Sumire is looking at the window, wondering what Natsume and Ruka are doing.

"What are they doing right now? Ugh… Mikan and Hotaru are with them and me… I'm stucked with this so-not-cool-honor-student!" Sumire whispers to herself angrily.

"Look, we can see the whole central town." Yuu said with excitement.

"What I want to see are Natsume and Ruka!"

"What?"

"No, nothing…"

Back to Natsume-Mikan and Ruka-Hotaru…

"I can't take this anymore! I will faint if I don't cover my eyes! What will I do? With the three of them looking at me, I can't show that I'm afraid." Ruka whispers to himself.

"Here, Ruka, a handkerchief, cover your eyes! I know you're afraid of heights!" Natsume said offering Ruka a hanky.

"Natsume!" Ruka shouted

"Ruka's afraid of heights!" Mikan and Hotaru said at the same time that Ruka became a laughingstock! "Hahahaha."

"Why didn't you just tell us?" Hotaru asked while laughing.

"Wait, wait, I think something's happening." Mikan realizes that the ferris wheel is slowing down and then it stopped!

"The ferris wheel stopped!" Hotaru said realizing that they are at the top of the ferris wheel.

"Ahhh! What will we do? Maybe it's the curse of knowing that Ruka is afraid of heights!" Mikan said scaring herself.

"Don't be silly, stripes panty." Natsume said to Mikan.

Mikan blushed. "Stop calling me by that name. What will we do now?"

"Nothing." Natsume said without any feelings.

"Nothing?! What do you want me to do? Sit here and just think that we're in an stucked airplane or something?" Mikan shouted.

"Of course idiot, what else could we do? Unless you want to jump out there and be a superhero!" Hotaru said while eating.

"Hotaru, it's not a time for eating!" Ruka said to Hotaru.

"Why? Are you envy? Don't worry, I have one for everybody. Who want some?"

"Ugh." The three of them sighed.

"What?!" Hotaru asked as if she's innocent.

Let's again see what Yuu-Sumire pair is doing.

"Oh no! We're stucked!" Sumire shouted.

"Don't worry, the management knows what to do." Yuu said to calm Sumire.

"That's not what I'm worrying about."

"Then what are you worrying about?"

"Mikan and Hotaru are stucked with MY Natsume and Ruka, while I... ugh! What else could go wrong?"

What will happen to the six of them? Will they be stucked at the ferris wheel forever or Mikan will be a superhero and save them? Just watch out for the next chapter of sticked partners! Wohoo… Thanks for the reviews and I still accept reviews if you like. Please. I really like reviews. Thanks again in advance.
