Rumi's POV
After Ryouma and Cracker left, I turned to Cookie. Gossip mode on. "Soooo, what happened when you two were alooone~?" I ask playfully.
Her face goes bright red as she replies, "N-nothing. Really." I smirk and look at her, suspicious of her expression. "W-well, he did get a bit melancholic when he looked at one of his pictures.."
I stand straight and blink, confused. "Really? What was in the picture?" I ask.
She thinks for a bit then replies, "It was Ryouma, Cracker, and some girl. They were really small so I guessed it was in their early childhood."
I blink then shrug. "Oh well. We'll figure it out tomorrow. I'll just kind of get Ryouma to tell me. For now, let's just sleep." I suggest. You smile and sit on the bed, patting the empty spot next to you. I laugh and sit down next to you. We lie down and drift off to sleep.
Next Morning...
"WAKE UP!" someone yells. I open my eyes and see a hyper Cookie. I get up and groan. "What's up with you?" I ask. "Today's the day and we still don't have clothes and I want foooooooood~" she instructs. Well, not instruct but she's demanding food. I giggle and get up. "Oh i know are the boys up yet?" I ask.
She shakes her head saying "No."
I smirk mischievously. "Let's wake them up." I take some pillows from Cracker's bed and we sneak into Ryouma's room where they're sleeping. I mouth, "1, 2, 3!" and we start yelling and hitting them with the pillows. They get up yelling, grab pillows, and we have a pillow fight. After about 10 minutes, we win.
"Haha, girls win in the end." I tease. The two boys were sitting against the bed and us girls were standing up. Suddenly, I'm grabbed by the wrist and pulled down into a hug. I feel the heat flow to my face. "R-Ryouma, let goo" I say. "Nah, maybe a bit later." (R: since when was he so daring? XD) "I have to make breakfast or else Cookie will kill me." I state. He lets go and helps me up, he himself standing up soon after.
"Then I'll make breakfast with you. I know how to cook." he says.
"Then make pancakes!" Cracker says.
"And waffles!" Cookie adds. "And bacon."
"And toast."
I sigh a happy one and smile.
"Okay okay. Let's work our magic."Ryouma says.
After about 20 minutes
"Done!" we both say. Our breakfast items were on the table while Cracker and Cookie were practically drooling.
"Let's eat now." the both say. We sit down and start inhaling delicious food. A few minutes later, Cracker was eating so fast he started choking. Cookie kinda just whacked his back and he stopped choking.
"That hurt though~" he whines.
"Oh shut up and keep eating or else we'll finish everything."
After breakfast - In the Mirror room
"We'll be right back okay? Just wait here." I say.
"We'll be back in about 30 minutes." Cookie says. They wave us off as we go back through the mirror and into our world.
"Let's hurry up and get changed. We don't want them waiting too long." I suggest. We quickly change into our date outfits. I was wearing a black long sleeve shirt that was lined with a blue ribbon and black jeans with a white belt. I had on a simple necklace and a dark blue & black hat and boots that went to my knees. On my shoulder was a small black and blue satchel bag. (R: As one could tell, I like black and blue. :P) "You ready to go?" I ask Cookie.
Cookie's POV
"Hm..." I say as I look through my closet, which is huge! (C: I'm one of those girls...XD) "Here it is!" I exclaim while holding some clothes. It was a pink and red plaid dress with a white silk shirt with frills at the end of the long sleeves underneath the dress. I get out some hot pink pearl earrings and a pair of white Ug boots that came up a couple inches over my ankle. "Oh, and how could I forget this?" I ask myself while taking out a little red bow and putting in my dark brown, curly hair. (C: Yes, I'm a brunette :D and I do like pink, white [which technically isn't a color, but whatever XD] and red. )"Let's go!" I say, excited. I run towards the room with you following behind. I jump into the mirror first and watch you come in, a second behind.
"Ryouma! Cracker! We're here~!" Rumi yells in a singing tone.
"Just a minute!" I hear Cracker respond.
I hear Rumi say, "Ugh, I like how people say GIRLS take too long!"
I laugh. As you say this, the boys come upstairs. I see Cracker wearing green and dark blue plaid jacket over a gray shirt. For pants he wore plain jeans and wore black sneakers. I turn to Ryouma, who was wearing a black and white, striped, long-sleeved shirt. He was also wearing jeans, but a shade of blue darker. His shoes were gray sneakers (C: the reason why his shoes are gray: what do you get when you mix white and black? Answer: GRAY! XD I'm not creative when it comes to guys...) "So, who's driving?" I ask.
Ryouma opens his mouth, "I wi-", and is interrupted by Cracker, "I will," and gives Ryouma a glare. "Hmph!" Ryouma responds, childishly.
We both laugh. We hurry towards to Cracker's car. He, of course, sat in the driver's seat and I sit in shotgun. I watch you sit on the right side of the back and Ryouma takes the left, still mad. "What was up with earlier?" I whisper to Cracker.
"Hm? Oh, when he takes the wheel, he goes crazy!" He whispers back.
"Oh..." I reply.
15 minutes later
"We're here!" I hear Cracker and Ryouma exclaim in unison. We all get out of the car. I look around and see huge shopping area, with a fountain in the middle. (C: To those who watch anime, yes, those areas...) I feel Cracker grab onto my wrist, which causes me to grab onto you. I watch you grab onto Ryouma, with Cracker pulling us to a cafe. When we get there, I see Ryouma's and Cracker's faces light up. We all walk in. The cafe had a soothing aura. I examine the place, it had wooden tables with matching chairs neatly surrounding the place. I watch a man from the register wave towards us and smile. Cracker and Ryouma race towards the man and tackle him. "Oh my goodness!" I say, surprised and concerned. Then we both sigh-out-of-relief when we heard the old man chuckle. We take seat.
"So what brings you here?" He asks the guys. He turns to us and says, "Oh~!" he realizes we're here.
"Um, sir, how do you know Cracker and Ryouma?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Well, you see, both of their fathers are my closest friends." He states. "Anyway, what would you like?" He asks in a gentle tone.
"I'll take the usual!" I hear Ryouma order.
"Me too!" I hear Cracker agree.
I glance at the menu, "I'll have the strawberry smoothie!" I say in a cheerful tone. "Rumi?" I turn to you.
"Hm, I'll have the same!" You say just as cheerful.
"OK," the man says going to the back. We chat among ourselves, then finally, our orders come. "Here you go!" He winks.
"Thank you!" We all say. Cracker starts to pass out the drinks. He accidentally pushes my drink, causing it to spill.
"Oh crap!" He exclaims.
"Ah!" I scream. The drink luckily doesn't spill on me.
"I'll go get some napkins," Cracker sighs.
"I'll come with you," I say. A few minutes, we come back.
"We got them!" Cracker states. Rumi and Ryouma are gone!
Rumi's POV
"Wow, Cookie has a good grip. My wrist hurts a lot." I say, rubbing my wrist.
Ryouma chuckles and holds out his hand. "It's a date isn't it?" he says. I blush and take his hand. When we're walking, we talk about Cracker and Cookie and how they obviously like each other but never seem to admit it. Well, except for Cracker. Good move man. I see a shop for girls and it has lots of cute things in like small teddy bears and jewelry. I guess Ryouma noticed that I was looking over there cuz he started to walk us over there.
"Hello and welcome to Chic and Unique!" We look around and I see a small white bear with a red ribbon tied around its neck and a heart on its chest.
"Aww, that's so cute." I say, turning around to face Ryouma. He wasn't there. Instead, he was walking back from the register with a bag. He blushes a bit when I see the bag.
"I-it's nothing. Let's go." he says, hiding the bag. I look at the bear once more then head out with him.
We're walking by the fountain when he says, "Oh shoot. I uh, have to go to the bathroom."
I smile and reply, "Go. I'll wait here." He apologizes then scurries off to the bathroom. I sit down on a bench to wait for him. "I wonder how Cracker and Cookie are doing..." I mutter. A few minutes later, all I see is white and blue. I look up to see that Ryouma is back, holding yet another box in front of my eyes.
"Here. Another present for you." he timidly says while blushing. I take the box and carefully open it, wanting to save the blue ribbon. Inside was the same bear I was looking at but it was wearing a necklace. It was a heart with little gems in the middle.
"Awww, thank you Ryouma!" I say as I hug him. I give him another kiss on his cheek and he blushes.
"Turn around, I'll put the necklace on you." he offers. I turn around and he places the necklace around my neck and connects the two ends together. I turn back around and hold the bear.
"It's so cute. Thank you soo much Ryouma. How did you know I wanted this?" I wonder. "W-when I came back from buying the necklace, I saw you staring a the bear so when I 'had to go', I went back and bought it."
"Ah, that makes sense. Oh well. Thanks again~" I say. I get up and we hold hands once again. We go to an ice cream shop and he pays for the ice cream we buy. I have mint chocolate chip while he has cookies and cream.
"Does it taste good?" he asks. "Yup, it's my favorite one." I reply. I hold it toward him. "Want some?"
"Sure." He holds my hand and cone to steady the cone as he tastes my ice cream. "That's good." After an awkward silence, we laugh. After we're done with our ice cream, we go to a movie theater and he pays for the tickets. He seems to be paying foreverything today In the middle of the movie, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was being carried on his back. My face grows red.
"I-I can walk y'know." I say.
"It's okay. You're probably still tired anyway. I can carry you, you're really light." he replies. "Okay then... Oh wait, what about Cookie and Cracker?"
"They probably went and had fun." After a few minutes of thinking, we were walking by a park. "Can we sit on bench here for a sec?" I ask.
"Sure." He walks to a bench and sets me down, sitting down soon after. "What did you want to talk about?" he asks. He's freaking sharp.
"Oh. You said that you had a friend a long time ago that moved away suddenly. I just.. kinda wanted to know more." I look at him and see that he's smiling a bit.
"Sure, it's okay." We both shift to get comfortable and he starts. "A super long time ago, when me and Cracker were like, 10, we were friends with this girl who didn't have a home or family. She didn't like talking to people, let alone getting near them. So once, when we were playing soccer, the ball went toward her and Cracker went to get it. He talked to her and kinda dragged her out to play with us. After a while, she became more open and we got close. After a year of knowing her, me and Cracker kinda started to like her a bit. Mine was just a small crush Cracker's was kind of major. But he never told her. After 2 years, she said that her aunt found her and that she was going to move. I bought her the bracelet," he gestures to the bracelet on my wrist. "and Cracker was going to tell her. But, just one day, she didn't show up at our usual meet up. Cracker was a bit devastated. I moved on but Cracker didn't. He still remembers her after all of these years." he tells me. Wow. Such history in a bracelet. Cookie better change him.
"Wow.. No contact? Whatsoever?" I ask.
He shakes his head sadly, still smiling. "No.." An awkward silence then follows. Suddenly, he stands up. "Well, let's go!" He picks me up bridal style then runs out of the park. I blush. "R-Ryouma! P-put me down!"
He just laughs and keeps running. I giggle. That was a bit dramatic there... I hope Cracker isn't as devastated as he was a long time ago…
