"Mikan?"
Have dandruff? Himalaya's has a hundred percent natural aloe vera!
"Mikan, are you there? Open this door!"
News just in, the famous businessman Natsume Hyuuga has been engaged to the daughter of Shizuoka Industries, Ms. N-
"Mikan! I'm busting in!" the wooden door went flying in the air from a cannon designed by the famous genius inventor, Hotaru Imai and Mikan Sakura's best friend. She welcomed herself in the apartment and observed Mikan's home decorating skills. Her living room was very messed up with pillows and magazines everywhere. The heat coming from the TV box signaling that it has been on since yesterday, Hotaru stepped around the mess and proceeded into Mikan's bedroom. She found her in her striped wrinkly pajamas, her hair in a grimy mess surrounded by papers. This was an ideal murder scene except that the victim was just snoozing lying on her belly. Hotaru scrunched up her face in disgust, her best friend was living in a pig sty. She vowed to find the person responsible for this idiot's misery.
"Mikan, wake up!" she tried to push Mikan to the other side but Mikan just covered herself with a blanket "Wake up stupid!" She ripped the blanket away from her body revealing Mikan's face strained with tears.
"Who did this to you?" said Hotaru demanding an answer.
"Why are you here?" said Mikan changing the subject.
"Your boss sent me here; she got worried since you didn't show up for work today. You didn't even call or anything so she got paranoid and sent me to find out what happened to you" explained Hotaru, Mikan just laid on the bed with no emotion.
"I don't feel well" she finally spoke.
"I can see that. What happened?"
"There was some rain and I got sick" said Mikan only saying the half truth.
"Leave it to an idiot like you to do something stupid" remarked Hotaru, stupidity, yes something Mikan was cursed with. She laughed to herself with that thought; Hotaru just raised an eyebrow like she needed to go to the asylum.
"Mikan this isn't like you, come on get dressed up. I'm gonna take you out" said Hotaru as she started to push her towards the bathroom.
"I don't really feel like going outside, the weather just makes me sick" she said, Hotaru paid no attention to her statement and just shoved her inside closing the door. She opened the curtains that Mikan hasn't failed to do until yesterday.
"This weather will make her sick? It's worse than I thought" said Hotaru as she gazed out the window to view the sunny outdoors. Hotaru turned around and accidentally stepped on a magazine "The things this idiot makes me do" she muttered while picking up the papers and magazines, she cursed at whatever the cause was that made this place into a den of misery and promised to hunt down the person and make him a new test subject for her inventions.

"This is so annoying" complained Mikan as they were drinking tea in an outdoor café.
"Be grateful, I'm the one paying here" said Hotaru, Mikan just had a scowl on her face and crossed her arms "Since when have you been cynical?"
"Everything pisses me off" remarked Mikan, Hotaru looked at her with worry evident in her eyes.
"Mikan, are you…pregnant?" Mikan widened her eyes and coughed.
"No! Why would you think that!?" yelled Mikan.
"With you PMSing it wouldn't come as a surprise but I'm glad I'm wrong" said Hotaru sipping her tea, she observed Mikan with a very sullen look in her eyes even though she may appear to be angry, she knew something made her best friend cry and it affected her heart a lot.
"Do you not want to talk about it?" said Hotaru.
"I got nothing to say" replied Mikan, she couldn't stand seeing her in a state like this so for the first time, Hotaru Imai did something would have never done but needed to do to bring her old happy best friend back.
"There's a party the day after tomorrow, Ruka is holding it and we would definitely like you to come" said Hotaru inviting her to her boyfriend's party.
"I don't know, I think I'll pass" refused Mikan.
"I didn't ask you if you would want to come, I am bringing you with me. I'm going to take you shopping today for the whole with my expenses so be happy" yes this was the thing Hotaru would never do but needed to, to open her fist and let her money fly free. Hotaru was a very greedy and also stingy person but when it comes to her best friend, she was willing to sacrifice a little dough. She would even never lend her boyfriend money, not that he needed that from her.
"But Hotaru-"
"No buts, I'm taking you shopping and that's final!" said Hotaru with a sinister aura around her. There was no refusing Hotaru, if you tried something that displeases her you would be asking for a death wish. So Mikan had no choice but to take up on Hotaru's offer.
"What did I get myself into?" thought Mikan.

"Mikan, what do you think of this dress?" asked Hotaru while holding up a black cocktail dress, she turned around to her best friend and just saw her dazed by the doorway with her eyes wandering to the outside world.
"Mikan?" Mikan snapped out of her daydream and smiled at Hotaru.
"You said something?" asked Mikan, she looked at the dress Hotaru was holding up "Um, I don't really like wearing black"
"Your right, why not something fuchsia pink?" suggested Hotaru as she asked the employee to get her more dresses. She sat down with Mikan on the sofa.
"Mind telling me already?" asked Hotaru.
"I can't really explain it, its too…complicated" said Mikan not looking at Hotaru in the face, at this Hotaru got irritated.
"Fine if you don't want to talk about it" said Hotaru in an irritated tone.
"Sorry, I just don't feel like I can explain it properly even if I want to. It's really hard to voice my thoughts out loud right now" said Mikan.
"I understand" replied Hotaru as the employee came back with more dresses "So take your pick"

"Natsume?" A few seconds ago Ruka picked up the phone and heard his best friend's voice who he hasn't heard from in six months.
"Hey Ruka, how's it going? I'm in Tokyo you see" said Natsume.
"When did you arrive? I could've have picked you up from the airport" said Ruka.
"Only a couple days ago, I had some urgent business and there was…some stuff I had yet to settle" said Natsume in a slight stutter, Ruka sensed this decided to brush it off.
"Hey are you free the day after tomorrow?" asked Ruka, Natsume said he wasn't busy in particular "I'm having a cocktail party at Seitei, you should come. A lot of girls will be coming; some are even Hotaru's friends"
"You're still going out with that freaky inventor girl?" said Natsume.
"Hey she's my soon-to-be-fiance so you better be careful about the way you talk to her" said Ruka.
"You don't mean…"
"Yes, I'm proposing to her that night!" smiled Ruka, Natsume also smiled on the other line.
"Congratulations, or should I say good luck? I probably should pray to God to let you have a peaceful marriage, living with her will be tough you know" chuckled Natsume.
"I'm prepared to live my life with her" answered Ruka "So about the secret engagement party"
"Yeah I'll come, you probably want me to be your best man anyway" said Natsume.
"Of course!" replied Ruka.
"Fine, see you then"
"Yeah" said Ruka and hung up "I better tell Hotaru when she gets home"
