Meyyu: Well, hello again. :D You would think that it being summer, I write more...Lazy :T

Ichigo:...Just do it.

Meyyu: JUST DO IT! Sorry, inside joke. Mori, you know what I'm talking about ;D Don't deny it. No matter how embarrassed you are about me bringing it up, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout ;D

Kashino: She doesn't own anything besides the plot :T

Meyyu: Oh, quick note. I was re-reading some of stories that I added to my favorite list a long time ago, and I noticed something. The story was the same concept pretty much- Ichigo transfers- and one of the boys in that fics name is Kaito. No relation is to my Kaito. As you can see later in the chapter, I got the name from Mermaid Melody c: Just wanted to put that out there so people don't rage. Oh, and also Tsubasa got his name from Gakuen Alice, and Sana got his name from my brain :D Just wanted to clear that up. (( But I do recommend reading the story c: Its awesome. Its called ' Possibly Replaceable ' by xxxloveydoveyxxx))

Not-So-Party Crashers.

" Welcome to all of those who passed the Test Of The Jesters! Starting tomorrow, you shall start the Test Of The Jokers! But, no matter. Today is for you to meet your rivals and mingle before you battle. " The Headmaster announced.

I should explain where we are. All of those who passed the Test Of The Jesters were invited to a banquet that is held in the Paris Branch of Académie de Douceurs. (( Credit to JeffdebrudgeFR c: )) So, of course we are attending.

I was sipping my glass of water- Tsubasa made me not like I usually do- when four girls came up to me.

" Bonjour! " A girl with brown hair greeted me. I smiled, and greeted her back. " So, you are our competitors. "

" Ah, yes! It'll be an honor competing with you. My name is Ichigo, and this is Tsubasa, Sana, and Kaito. " I introduce. As I said that, a girl with blonde pigtails that had on a orange dress looked up sharply.

" Ichigo? As in Amano Ichigo?! " She demanded. I nodded. She squealed and jumped onto me, hugging me. " Ichigo-senpai! I didn't think you would be attending! " She said as she disentangled herself from me. " Its me, Lemon! "

" Lemon-chan! " I grinned. " What are you doing here?! Oh its so good to see you! "

" I'm on the St. Marie's Paris branches team. " She explained.

" Oh. I'm glad that you got to go back. " I smile.

" I also visit St. Marie's Japan branch as well sometimes. Kashino-senpai and the others won't tell me anything about what happened, but I know what happened by rumors. You really transferred..." She said sadly. I smile sadly.

" Lemo- " I started.

" Ahem! " Tsubasa coughed. I came back to reality, and saw the girls still standing there, looking slightly fond.

" I remembered what it was like being young. " A green haired one sighed. The rest sighed as well, and left to go somewhere else. We all looked at each other, and shrugged.

" She does know that shes younger, right? " I whisper to Tsubasa, who shrugged once again. Just then, the music started up, and people got up to dance. In this Traditional Banquet, you dance with someone, and then you switch off to dance with someone you don't know, so you can become acquainted with everybody. Tsubasa held out a hand, and I took it. We went onto the dance floor after I waved goodbye to Lemon. We got into position, and started dancing. They talked about their opponents, before it was time to switch pairs. Tsubasa was paired with a girl with curly reddish hair. I did a double-take, and tried to get a second glimpse of her before my partner twirled me, making me lose sight of them.

" Hello there. " My partner greeted. It was a boys whos blonde hair was pushed back, and his blue eyes sparkled. " How are you this fine evening? " Though I knew he was a friendly person- I could tell from his smile- the banter seemed stiff and forced.

" Hello. I'm fine, thank you for asking. " I had no room to talk. Mine was stiff as well.

" You look familiar, Madame. Have we ever met? " He asked uncertainly. I could hear the American accent that shined through the Japanese.

" Maybe. " I answered.

" Oh, how rude of me. I forgot! My name is Johnny McBeal. I'm on Team Kashino in St. Marie's Japanese Branch. " He introduce. My eyes widened. " And what is yours, Mademoiselle? "

"...Lucy Heartphilia. " I said, thinking of a random name. I do not want Kashino or the others knowing I was here. " I'm here for London's St. Marie Branch. " I lied easily.

" Well, Lucy Heartphilia. I'm looking forward when we battle. " He said. I curtsied, and looked down. I noticed that he wasn't wearing shoes. That got a sincere smile out of me as the bell to switch partners went off. I switched, and danced with a
boy from the Paris Insitute of my school. We bantered until it was time to switch again. We kept switching until everybody met a decent amount of people. I encountered several more people that I knew. Thankfully they didn't recognize me with my hair and dress. I was wearing a red dress that went down a bit past my knees. The dress was off-the-shoulder and the tops of the sleeves were bunched up. It also had a glittering gold belt and neckline. My hair was let down, and it was a bit more curly than usual. Wrapping around my head was a waterfall braid that was clipped back with a red rose clip. No one who knew me before I transferred could have recognized me. I switched off once again and I finally started dancing with Kaito.

" Well hello there Lucy. " He grinned. " A lot of people are talking about you, Lucy, dear. "

" Thats good, right? " I asked. He nodded. " The more people who think of me as someone else, the better. That way they'll be in a huge surprise when I come out in the competitions. " I laughed a bit evilly.

" Lucy. Hakuna your tatas. " Kaito said, dead-serious.

" Stop using that phrase Kaito, or I'm taking away your Lion King and all of your other Disney Movies. " Kaito gasped.

" Do what you want to Cinderella and Snow White since they're dumb bitches- oh come on Ichigo. We're 17- but you do NOT MESS WITH MY LION KING! " He shouted. " Or my Little Mermaid. Or Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Or Oliver And Company. Or...You know, just don't touch them! " He demanded.

" You hate Ariel though. " I pointed out.

" BUT URSULA! Ursula gets me. She just does. And if you take my Disney, I'll take away your Harry Potter, The Fault In Our Stars and Mamma Mia! " He retorted.

" No! Touch my Harry Potter, and you'll wake up to a pit full of snakes. And you just don't mess with Amanda Seyfried. Period. DONE! AND YOU CANNOT SEPARATE MY AUGUSTUS AND HAZEL! " I shouted back.

" I don't have to. John Green already has. " He sassed.

" For Gods sake. You two can't be in the same room without making some fandom meltdown. " Sana said as he dragged us the dance floor five minutes later after he pulled me off of Kaito for making that John Green quote.

" Tis a fact. " I told him.

" Both of you are to stay here, and don't argue about John Green, please. Or I will take away both of your movies. " He scolded us, and left.

"...Hunger Games is better than the Mortal Instruments. " Kaito said after a period of silence.

" YOU TAKE THAT BACK! " I shouted. We were in a heated argument when three boys came up to us.

" Hello. Is this the Japanese Branch of Académie de Douceurs? " The blonde one with brown eyes asked. Kaito nodded. " Well, we are the Japanese Branch of St. Maries. We would like to wish you the best of luck. "

" Thank you. We wish you the same as well. " Kaito said back. " Oh, sorry for our teammates who are MIA. They are wishing luck to the other guests as well. I'm Kaito, and this is...Um..." The boys gave him strange looks for not knowing his own teammates name.

" Luchia. Luchia Nanami. " I said, giving them an award winning smile. I don't know what, but something about these guys made me feel uneasy.

" Out of everything, Luchia? You've been watching too much anime..." Kaito mumbled. I stuck my tongue out at him. " Excuse Luchia's behavior. Shes just not feeling well. " A green haired boy from the group stepped out, and kneeled infront of me.

" No matter, for she is a beautiful gem! Bonjour, Madame. " He said as he took my hand and planted a kiss on the glove. He then pulled out a rose, and offered it to me. I took it, getting a slight shiver. I know this kind of guy from somewhere. You could practically see the roses radiating off of him.

" Um, excuse Hanabusa-kun. He is a bit eccentric. " The one with black hair and glasses laughed nervously. I laughed too, until I registered the name. I stared at the green haired one, taking in the boy I saw in front of me to the boy I saw five years ago. I now saw how different he looked from the commercial I saw a month ago. I could now see the commercial was shot at least three years ago. Back when it was shot, Hanabusa-kun had long hair that was held back by clips. Now, he had shorter hair, a portion of it pinned back stylishly. I examined the others. Andou-kun's hair became a bit longer then it was when I went to school with him, but shorter than it was when he was in the commercial. And Kashino...I couldn't bring myself that the boy that I've been ignoring for the past five years is in front of me. Kashino stared at me as well. He was about to say something, until Johnny came barreling up to us.

" Kashino. Miya is looking for yo- Oh! Lucy! " He shouted. Suddenly, I was off my feet and in Johnny's arms. I was tilted at an angle, and Johnny was grinning. Kaito and I both paled. " Hi! I was just thinking about you, and now you're here! Its fate! What are you doing with Kashino and the others? Why are you with the Académie de Douceurs? " He asked the last part with a tilt of his head.

" Put her down Johnny! And what are you talking about? This is her team mate, and her name is Luchia Nanami. At least try to remember names. And after all of those hours we trained you in acting like a gentleman. " Kashino scolded. Johnny scowled.

" No, I'm certain her name is Lucy Heartphilia. And she is from the London Institute Of St. Maries! " Johnny stated as he put me down.

" Ichigo-senpai! " Lemon-chan shouted as she got near me. " Your partner- Tsubasa-san- was asked where you were-...Oh...Um...Hi Kashino-senpai, Andou-senpai, Hanabusa-senpai! " She greeted. " I think I'll just go now. " And with that, she bowed out. The three boys in front of me stared, taking all of me in. All three of them wore the same expression of shock. Hanabusa-kun was the first to talk. He laughed a bit.

" I don't know why I'm so surprised. Of course our Ichigo-chan would become a beautiful lady. " He smiled.

" You know, whenever I thought of how your guys' reunion would happen, I thought you would have been more happy. " A stiff voice said behind me. I felt two hands on my shoulders, and knew that Sana and Tsubasa were here. For the first time in the history of ever, Hanabusa scowled. It was actually pretty scary.

" Shut it, jerk. I'm resisting from hugging her to death right now. " He said in a deadly calm voice. Even Kashino and Andou-kun looked shocked.

" Ichigo. Are you going to say anything, or should we leave? " Sana whispered in my ear. I gulped a bit. I was still staring at Kashino, speechless.

" I...I..." I stuttered looking at my feet, tearing my eyes away from Kashino's steady gaze. I felt a hand close around my own, and knew that Kaito was the one the hand belonged too. The same happened to my other hand, and I knew it was Sana. Finally, Tsubasa put his arms around my waist, getting glares from the Sweet Princes.

" Amano- " Kashino started.

" Its Ichigo. Not Lemon. Not Ringo. My name is Ichigo. " I told Kashino, standing as tall as I could with my head held high. All three boys cringed as I said it. I could feel my teammates glowing pride as I said it.

" Ichigo-chan, we didn't want to make that commercial! Honestly. We just- " Hanabusa defended.

" What? You just what? You just wanted to tell everybody that you never cared about me? That you were glad that I was gone. Well congrats cause you certainly convinced me. " I told them, though my words were mostly directed to Kashino.

" Well what did you want us to do!? " Kashino demanded, snapping. " Wallow around and wait for you?! YOU were the one who told us to forget about you! And now you're mad that we did?! "

" Kashino! " Hanabusa-kun hissed.

" I'm not mad about that you midget! " I shouted, snapping as well. Everybody drew back, and stared in shock at me. " And you're lucky I used midget! I have a thousand more words that describe you better! You want to know what I'm mad about!? That you shot a commercial about it! You know, all three of you were on my mind everyday when I was at school. I couldn't concentrate the first year there because I missed you guys so much. I thought at least you guys missed me a bit, but then I see a commercial stating that you were glad I was gone. Well, I got my answer. "

By now, everybody in the room was staring at us. I couldn't blame them.

" Well if you missed us so much, why didn't you try contacting us?! " Kashino demanded, not stepping down. He and I were now both pretty much bearing our teeth at each other, our faces inches away. It was like all the other times we fighted when we were kids, except this time the anger was real and intense. It put all of our other fights to shame.

" Because I didn't want to face this whole thing! " I told him, glaring. " I knew it would be awkward, and I didn't want to face the moment when I knew that Team Ichigo broke up. I'd rather leave it alone then acknowledging it! I also didn't want my ' band of brothers ' to see that I advanced without them. I always thought that we would become professionals together, and now this! " The part in me that was always laughing at how much at Kagome-chan and the others have rubbed off on me. I was using big words that I never used before and was obsessed with a couple of books. But most of me was in pure rage.

Kashino, Hanabusa-kun, and Andou-kun were lost for words. The boys beside me either wore a smirk or a poker face. I looked at them before I addressed them.

" Lets go. We have a battle to prepare for. I'm looking forward to winning. " I said, and we got our stuff together and got ready to leave. We were headed toward the door before Tsubasa stopped dead in his tracks.

" Wait. Ichigo, can you come here for a minute? " He asked me. I nodded, and moved closer to him. He grabbed me by the waist, and pulled me in for a kiss. I was a bit shocked, but put my arms around his neck in response. Once we pulled away, Tsubasa looked straight at Kashino- his hands still on my waist- and smirked a bit. " We've been dating for two years and a half. Just thought her ' band of brothers ' should know. "

And with that, our dramatic exit was made.

Meyyu: My brain works in weird ways. I know there is so many things wrong with this chapter, but I gave up caring a while ago :T I've been watching ' When They Cry ' and its scaring the shit out of me ;_; So, with that trauma in mind, I decided to put this chapter out of its misery and finish it off :T So, yea. OFF TO SLEEP!
