A/N: heh heh! I tried writing this chapter just freelance without prewriting in my notebook, but that changed when it was deleted after almost completing it! This isn't my original! I really liked it!
A Day Out
"Rei, do you even really love me?"
Len had asked me this. He asked me to basically spill everything about the night of Kaito's party. I asked Kaito and Miku to leave and sat beside my boyfriend against the wall. I then told him how he was everything I asked for when I was little. Romantic and spontaneous, flirty and sensitive, Seductive and sweet. His was all of it. He was the guy I daydreamed of in my younger years. He was like my Tamaki! He was surprised at how sure I was of my feelings.
"Now, Len, what made you doubt all of that?"
"I guess I saw you smile, and I wondered if it was because you really loved me or if you hiding that you were forcing yourself to love me."
"Len, if I didn't love you, I would've told you. I'm pretty outspoken," I said, pulling him for what would've been a hug. He turned it into a kiss, but it only lasted a few seconds as Megan, Ginny, and August ran through the door.
"Rei!" the three yelled.
"Oh, is this a bad time?" Ginny asked, her face turning red.
"No, it isn't," I sighed.
"Looks like it was!" August smirked. "C'mon, Len, kiss the girl! Kiss her like no one's watching!"
Len's face turned bright red as August cheered him on. I giggled as the space between our faces vanished.
"You have such a cute giggle, my princess!" He smiled. Our lips met with August screaming like a fangirl. We put some space between us and laughed at her scream.
"Alright, you guys came for a reason. What is it?" I asked, smiling.
"Oh, my friend, Erica, rented a karaoke room. Do you want to come?" Ginny smiled.
"Oh, yeah, that would be cool. I'd love to," I smiled.
"Can I come too?" Len asked.
"GNO," Megan said coldly.
"Oh," Len said.
"Don't worry, Len. I'll be okay. I'm sure you can stand a couple of hours without me," I smiled.
He pulled out his phone and typed away.
"Kaito, Gakupo and I are going to hang out. I'll see you soon, beautiful princess," He said, kissing my hand and making August fangirl!
We walked out to a black car with purple interior. At the wheel was a blonde haired, hazel eyed teenage girl.
"Hey Guys!" She smiled.
"Hey Erica!" The three smiled.
"Who's this?" Erica smiled.
"This is Reika, the girl I told you about," Ginny smiled.
"The one dating…"
"Yeah, that one."
"It's great to meet you, Rei!"
"I can say the same, Erica," I smiled.
We drove through town as anime themes made us go insane with impersonations, quotations, and imitations! We went insane singing too. At the karaoke session, we went psychopathic! We were official crazy! We all sang and danced and partied. Then, we hit the town. My phone vibrated.
To: The most beautiful princess in the whole world.
From: Your number one prince
Hey did you just pass the Après Soleil Café? I think I saw you walk by.
Hello, Len!
To: you
From: me
Is there an anime and manga store right beside it?
To: My lovely princess
From: Your servant
Yeah, is that where you're at?
To: the guy in a French café
From: The girl in an anime store
Yes, yes I am.
To: Haruhi
From: Tamaki
Alright, meet me in the café when you're done there. We'll get away from these groups we're in.
To: the blondie who thinks I'm leaving my friends
From: the girl who isn't going to
That would be rude! I can't. I came with them, I'll leave with them.
To: a loyal friend
From: a guy who thinks that's hot
You're such a good friend. At least see if you can though.
To: the crybaby boyfriend
From: me
Okay, I will, but you better see if it's okay with Kai and Gaku.
To: the girl I cry for
From: the crybaby boyfriend
They already left. I'm here alone.
"Gin, Len is in the café next door alone. He wants me to hang with him. Is it alright if I catch up with you guys at the manor?"
"Yeah, we were going to head there anyway."
"Okay, I won't feel guilty for making sure he isn't alone."
"That's so sweet!" August yelled.
To: the loner
From: the girl who might end it
You are so lucky. We were going to go to the café anyway. See you in 5.
We bought a couple of DVD's and headed next door. I stopped when I saw it though. The sun was setting, and it made his golden hair look as if it were a dream…if you dream in anime. There was a soft breeze. I felt my heartbeat get faster and faster as he turned and smiled, his azure eyes like drops of ocean water.
"Oh, it's just like an anime," August squealed. "Now, Len, all you have to do is make her face turn red."
"August! Shut up!" I yelled, my face turning red.
"Ha ha! I struck a nerve!"
"Shut up!" I buried my face in my hands and laughed.
"Rei, you look so cute when you blush," Len started. "You should move your hands from your face."
"Can we just go inside?" I asked.
"Not until I make your face red," he smiled.
"You already did!"
"How?"
"You smiled at me."
"Oh, I did, did I?" he smirked, his face only centimeters from mine.
"Alright, no need to go all 'Spice!' on me!" I laughed.
He hung his head. "I really regret choosing that song."
"Why? It always made me a fangirl. But then it would end, and I wouldn't fangirl over you until I heard it again," I smirked.
"Oh, so you fangirled over me, did you?" He wrapped his around my waist and brought his face only centimeters from mine.
"Only when 'Spice!' played," I said, kissing him.
"Wow, for once, you kissed me. It's usually the other way around."
"Oh, it's the anime-styled sunset scene getting to me!"
"I need anime sunsets more often," he laughed.
"Well, are we going inside?"
"Ginny and them already did," he smiled.
My phone vibrated.
To: The songwriter of yellow
From: the GAME girls
Tell Len to take you out on the town. You two need to go on a date so the one for your birthday isn't awkward. Lylas! Ginny, August, Megan, & Erica
To: the girls whose initials spell game
From: Yellow songwriter
You got it. I'll tell you how it goes! Lylas!
"Len! How about you take me on a tour of the town?"
"There idea?" he asked, pointing at the GAME girls.
"Yeah."
"Okay, maybe…we'll even stop by a few stores," he smiled, grabbing my hand as he did.
As he took me on a tour, we saw a street performer who could tell anything about anyone, a fortune teller.
"How about the lovely girl in polka dots with the handsome young man in a plain black t-shirt! Free of charge if I get something wrong about you!"
"And if you're correct about it all?" I asked.
"You're a smart girl. It's free of charge and fee for you both." She smiled.
"Think we should, Len?"
"Yeah, why not," he smiled. Sunset was working in his favor again.
The fortune teller grabbed Len's empty hand and made her prediction.
"You will live a good life as you already are, you were doubting your relationship and now you're out with a different girl while the one is at home…"
Len made a buzzer sound. "Wrong answer," he smiled. "I guess you're not much of a fortune teller, huh?"
"Let me predict something for the girl!" she begged.
"Okay," Len said warily.
"You are a young lady graced with a gift. You were given an amazing opportunity with a chance of love, and you took it. He is the one for you. I can see much happiness for you both. Your job in music has given you many friends, and they are all glad to know you're there. Your outspokenness has its rewards in your job as a songwriter, young prodigy."
"Wow, you didn't get anything wrong about her," Len gasped.
"Yeah, how did you know all of that?" I asked.
"It's a secret, but, young songwriter, there will be some trouble with a past love. Be ready for it," the gypsy warned.
"Oh, thank you," I stuttered.
"Good luck, young lovers," she smiled.
"Thank you," Len and I muttered.
We walked away, hand in hand. He took me through more of the town and into the stores. He found something in the window of a jewelry store.
"Stay here. I have to get something. Don't peek or anything. Okay?"
"Okay."
He walked in. I saw two familiar figures across the street. Kaito and Gakupo were walking through town. They looked my way and ran toward me.
"Hey, Rei! How's it going?" Gakupo smiled.
"Hey, do you know where Len is? We kind of ditched him at the café," Kaito smiled, putting his hand on the back of his head.
"Yeah, he's inside that store," I said, pointing behind me.
"Well, he did say he wanted to get something from there," Gakupo smirked.
"Why do I have the feeling he's getting something for me?" I asked.
"Because I am," Len whispered in my ear as he put a Treble Clef necklace around my neck. "Happy early Birthday, Reika!" he smiled as he put the matching necklace around his neck.
"Len," I said hugging him. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Now how about we play a game," he smiled.
"What game?"
"You'll see."
Len dragged me to a shop where you'd get dresses or suits.
"Why are we here?" I asked.
"We're going to get you sweet 16 dress!" he beamed.
"Okay and how does this game of yours pertain to this?"
"Oh, I'm choosing your dress, and you're choosing what I wear. Sound fun?"
"You want my honest answer?" I asked sarcastically.
"No, you're still going through with this. Rin is making the theme black and white so no Vocaloid colors."
"Oh, I like the sound of that!" I smiled.
"So you'll go through with it?" He smirked.
"I guess," I jokingly sighed.
We spent the next hour and a half looking for things for each other to wear Saturday. I found a black suit with a white undershirt and black tie for Len, but he couldn't find anything for me. I basically won the game…if it even had a winner.
"Rei! I found it! Come here!"
He was holding a dress that came to right above the knees. The chest area of the dress was black and the flowing skirt was white. On the right side was a removable flower design out of beads. He already had a pair of silver pumps for me too. He was on the ball.
"Len, it's beautiful."
"Let's try them on."
"Let's."
The dressing rooms were across from each other. I walked out in the dress and shoes. A few seconds later, he came out in the suit, but the tie was missing.
"Where's your tie?" I asked.
"I can't tie one," he admitted.
"I can. Let's see how it looks."
He handed me the tie. I began to fasten it around his neck. He wrapped his arms around me as I did.
"You look amazing in that dress," he smiled.
"Well, I'm lucky to have someone with an amazing sense of style," I giggled. "Tada! There is your tie!"
We walked to a mirror and stood beside each other. The attendant smiled. "You two are adorable. What's the occasion?"
"She's having her Sweet 16 Saturday," Len explained.
"Oh, well I know of some earrings and a bracelet that would complete the outfit. I see she already has a necklace," She smiled.
"May we see them?" He asked.
"Of course. Come with me."
She pulled out a pair of silver earrings with three strands of different lengths with a half note, a bass clef, and a treble clef and a silver bracelet with music staff on it. I was going to have a very melodic wardrobe. Len stayed near the dressing room, and the lady was leading me back to him with the jewelry on me.
"What do you think?" She asked.
"She's beautiful, but then again, there is never a moment she isn't."
My face felt hot. "Shut up," I muttered, looking down.
"You are entirely too modest, Reika," he laughed.
"And you're too flirtatious, Len," I beamed back at him.
"It's how I show I care. Now, do want to get something to eat before we head home?"
"Yes! That sounds great!" I happily answered.
We went back to the changing rooms and put our original clothes on. We then went to the register, and Len bought both of our things. I sighed as we walked out of the door.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Len asked me. His voice screamed of worry.
"I feel guilty about you buying my dress and all that," I sighed, hanging my head low.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Rei, I did that because I wanted to. Why? Because your sixteenth birthday is coming in less than a week, and I want to make sure you have the best time." He smiled at me.
"You didn't have to though. I'd have a fun time as long as my friends from my old home and my friends from my new home are there."
"Okay, let me change what I said. I did because I had to. No, Rin didn't make me do it. I made myself do it because I wanted to."
"You are so sweet," I whispered, hugging him. "By the way, you don't smell like bananas. Miku was so wrong."
Len laughed, and we walked toward the Après Soleil Café. People watched us as we walked down the street. I couldn't help the uncomfortable atmosphere of my surroundings. Len grabbed my hand and smiled at me. Neither of us spoke until we reached the café. Inside were Kaito and Gakupo. An old stereo was playing "Levan Polkka" by Kagamine Rin and Len as we walked over to the samurai and the ice cream addict.
"Len! What's up, man?" Gakupo belted.
"Yeah, Len! How did shopping for your girl go?" Kaito asked.
"It went great. She's going to look amazing for her birthday party," Len smirked.
"You probably picked it out for her," Kaito laughed.
"I did," Len proudly declared.
"Is it a good dress, Rei?" Gakupo kidded.
"Being totally serious, it's an amazing dress," I answered.
"Did he get you anything else?" Kaito picked.
"Actually, I picked out her shoes, and one of the employees helped her with earrings and a bracelet."
"Come back to Earth, Len," I laughed. His pride was overwhelming him.
"So, Len, are you nervous about the interview tomorrow?" Kaito asked seriously.
"I forgot that was tomorrow! Dang! I'm getting nervous!" He panicked.
"Len, how about we sit down?" I asked.
"Yeah, Len, sit down. We can't have you pass out on us!" Kaito added.
Len was hyperventilating. After a few minutes, I got him to the table, but he passed out. Kaito called the limo driver. Within a few minutes, we were going home in the blue limousine with Len's head resting in my lap.
When we reached the manor, Len was carried to his room by the blue haired ice cream addict. I sat down beside his white and yellow bed, stroking his head as he inhaled and exhaled. Len was truly nervous about his interview tomorrow. I would be here helping Rin with her new songs.
A/N: So I had some computer problems half way through typing this up, but I'm okay now. R&R
