Cookie's POV

"Oh boy...Well, let's go find them I guess?" I sigh.

I feel him take my hand suddenly, and say, "We s-still have time..." He says while looking back and forth at me, blushing. I widen my eyes in surprise, then smile.

"OK then, but you're leading today! I have no idea where anything is!" I command while pointing at him. He laughs, "That was the plan, Genius!" he says while flicking me lightly. I giggle. He drove me down the streets, passing a lot stores. I started to notice the stores were disappearing. "Where are we going exactly?" I ask him.

"It's a surprise..." He says, trying to be mysterious. I just watch the buildings turn into trees. "OK, NOW we're here!" He says while opening the door for me. What I saw was breathtaking. It was an open meadow full of beautiful plants that made the green space full of color. "Yeah, peaceful right?" He asks.

"Yeah..." I smile gently.

"This is my secret get-away! I always came here as a kid." He took my hand and pulled me down a small hill. We both fell and tumbled down the hill. I opened my eyes and saw Cracker covered in flowers. It made him look like a colorful monster. I burst out laughing, so did Cracker. "You look like-!" We both started at the same time. Then we laughed again.

"You look like a colorful monster!" I say while pointing at him.

"So do you!" He says while picking out flowers in his hair. I lay down in the grass. Cracker joined me. "Hey, I brought these!" He says while taking out two light blue popsicles out of his bag he brought.

"Thanks!" I say while taking them. I took a bite out of it, it was good! They were so sweet, but had a little tang. "Mmm!" I gush.

"These were my favorite treats when I was a child, and still are!" He says, happily. We just continue to enjoy our icy treat, then I remembered about the girl. I took a breath, "Um, about the girl earlier..." I started off.

"Don't worry, I'll spill!" He says.

Flashback

"Come on!" Young Ryouma challenged.

"Don't worry! Be careful, I'm coming at you with everything!" 10 year old Cracker stated. He kicked the ball with as much power he could muster up. It went hurtling towards the goal. The ball was fast, but Ryouma was faster. He kicked it away from the goal and towards a frightened girl.

"I'll get it!" Cracker waved. He ran up to the girl. "Hey, were you watching us?" Cracker asked while tilting his head.

The girl nodded.

Cracker extended his hand out to her, "Let's play together now!" He smiled.

The quiet girl just shook her head.
"Come on, ple~ase? He begged. The girl sighed and gave in. Taking his hand they made their way to the field.

"Who's this?" Ryouma asked when he caught up with them.

"Uh, what's your name?" Cracker asked.

"I swear sometimes you're a complete idiot," Ryouma rolled his eyes.

"Hey!" Cracker yelled. The girl giggled.

"My name...is Nicole..."She hesitated.

"That's a pretty name! My name's Cracker! And this," He pointed to Ryouma, "Is Ryouma!" Cracker stated.

"Nice to meet you!" Ryouma shook her hand.

She smiled shyly,"You too..."

"Come on you guys, there's no time to waste!" He said while running with the ball. They started playing, and became close with Nicole. 30 minutes went by and Cracker's and Ryouma's parents came.

"Bye Nicole!" Ryouma and Cracker both said at the same time.

"Why are you leaving?" Nicole asked in a sad tone.

"Our parents are here, do you know where yours are?" Cracker responded.

Nicole shook her head and said, "I don't have any..." She says, looking like she was about to cry. Cracker went up to her and hugged her, "Don't worry, we'll come back tomorrow!" He promised. Nicole smiled and said, "You better!"

End of flashback

"After that we all became really close! I even started to like her! I asked Ryouma if he could buy a certain bracelet that she's been asking for her birthday. When Ryouma came back...it was too late..." He murmured. I saw tears in his dark brown eyes.

Another Flashback

"Thanks, Ryouma!" Cracker exclaimed.

"No probs, you were broke anyways!" Ryouma laughed.

"Shut up!" Cracker snatched the present from his hands.

"See you later!" Cracker ran towards their usual meeting place. A few minutes afterward, he got a call. "Hello?" He greeted.

"She's not at our usual spot." Ryouma says. "I just got a call, she's...gone..." Ryouma's voice was full of sorrow.

"N-no, you must have heard her wrong! Where could she have gone?!" Cracker screamed.

"She told me her aunt found her, and she's going to live with her," Ryouma tried to stay calm for Cracker.

"No..." Cracker says softly. He ended the call, not wanting to hear any more bad news. He ran back to their house in tears.

End of flashback

I looked up at Cracker. He was crying.

"A-and then s-something w-worse happened..." Cracker continued the story. "I got a call from her aunt telling me that Nicole...N-nicole...she died!" He choked out the words.

"From what?" I asked softly.

"She was never in the healthiest state, but I never thought it would be that bad...She never told that she had a small disease. She thought it was nothing, but it was something very bad," He says through tears.

"I'm sorry that I asked! I shouldn't ha-" I was interrupted by a kiss. I blushed so hard I bet that my face could blend in with the sunset.

"If that's what makes you shut up, I should do that more!" he laughed through salty tears. I punched him lightly.

"I never told Ryouma that..." He sighed breaking into his depressing side again, "I don't know why! You just remind me so much about her and I-" This time I kissed him.

"You're right, if that's what it takes you to shut up," I laugh. "But you know what? I'll always be here to comfort you..."I murmur, laying my head on his shoulder. (C: SOO CUUUTE! :3)

Rumi's POV

"Shouldn't we call them or something?" I ask. Ryouma just shrugs.

I sigh as I take out my phone saying, "I'll do it. Lazy."

Ryouma shoots a glare at me which I dodge and he laughs.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Cookie. Where are you guys?"

"We're in a meadow. We'll head home now if you want."

"Okay, see you guys soon. Bye."

"Bye."

We hang up and I turn to Ryouma saying, "They'll be back soon. Let's just play truth or dare while waiting. Truth or dare?" I ask

"Hm, dare," Ryouma says.

"I dare you to drive us back," Rumi says. Ryouma's eyes lit up.

"OK!" he says,obviously pleased.

Cookie's POV

"Who was that?" Cracker asks while getting up. I sniffle from the crying.

"Why are YOU crying? You don't know her," He teases, trying to lighten the mood.

"Shut up! I'm a softie when it comes to this kind of stuff!" I say, embarrassed. He laughs in response.

"Here, let's go," He extends his arm towards me.

I smile. "I...enjoyed tonight..." I say tiredly.

He smiles and says, "I kept my promise!"

"Haha, yeah!" I say equally as happy. When we finally get to the car, we both see Ryouma and Rumi in the front.

"What are you doing?" Cracker asks Ryouma.

He looks to Cracker and smiles, "Rumi dared me to!" He says, excited.

"Oh crap..." Cracker sighs. "This is going to be YOUR fault!" He points to Rumi.

"Huh?" Rumi asks, confused. When we got in and started driving, I thought I was going to die! "WHY ARE WE GOING SO FAST?!" I yell, holding on the rail for my dear life.

"It's more fun this way!" Ryouma smiles. When we finally arrived to the guys' house, we all (except for Ryouma) kiss the ground.

"I'm thankful for my life!" Cracker exclaims. He turned to Rumi and said, "This is why I said DON'T let him drive!" He yells.

"It's OK, at least we lived!" I sigh. "I'm exhausted, let's go to bed!"

"I second that motion!" Rumi exclaims. We all go in and get ready for bed. "So what happened with you and Ryouma?"

Rumi's POV

"Oh, we ditched you guys, held hands, and walked around the mall. He bought me a bear and necklace. We got ice cream then watched a movie, which I slept halfway through, and he carried me. We went to the park and he told me about the girl. He carried me bridal style back here. Then we played truth or dare and I dared him to drive us back. What about you guys?" I ask. Cookie's face goes bright red and she mutters, "W-we kissed." in reply. I grin and hug her. "Finally! After, like, a day of knowing them! Which is actually a whole lot of progress but who cares?! YOU DID IT!" I cheer. Cookie blushes even more and playfully punch my arm.

"Oh whatever."

"Hey guys! can you set up the beds again? We're too weak~" I yell.

"Kay!" They come into Ryouma's room in comfortable clothes.

Suddenly, I distinctly hear, "After we set the beds up, we'll... into... okay?" I blink, confused. They set the beds up and went out to let us change.

After we finished changing, Cookie opened the door while saying, "I'm gonna go get a snack." and the she walked out. After a few minutes, I heard, "C-Cracker?! P-put me down you idiot!" and then I saw Cracker run by carrying Cookie bridal style. I blink, very confused. Then, Ryouma runs in, grabs and pulls me into his arms, carries me, and walks out.

"R-Ryouma? You too? What's happening anyway..."

"Oh, we made a plan where we, the couples, sleep in a room together. Separate beds of course." he simply explains. We enter a room and he sits me down on a chair. Simple room. It's kind of like Ryouma's. Except there's two beds. Ryouma sits down on one and lies down.

"Let's sleep. I'm going to turn off the lights now." he says. I nod, get up, and lie down on the bed. He turns off the lights, making it pitch black. Suddenly, it's starts to rain outside. Since I can't sleep if there's noise, I stay up for 20 minutes. Then, I hear thunder. I sit up and gasp.

"Rumi, are you okay?" Ryouma immediately asks.

Did I wake him up? Or was he awake the whole time... "Y-yeah, I'm okay..." I lie. Another bolt of thunder and I jump.

I hear shuffling and Ryouma sits down next to me. "You don't seem like it... Want me to stay with you?" he asks.

"N-no, I'm fine really. It's oka-" Another one and I jump once again. This time, Ryouma hugs me and strokes my head to make me feel better.

"It's okay, I'll stay with you tonight." Two more sounds of loud thunder in a row and I start shaking in fear. He hugs me tighter and carefully lies us down. I start to cry softly into his chest and he hugs me tighter, still petting me. After a while, I pass out in his arms.

I'm with Cookie, Cracker, and Ryouma. We're walking together, having fun by talking. I accidentally drop something and I stop to pick it up. I guess they didn't see me stop since they just kept walking and talking. I try to catch up with them but they're walking too fast. The light turns green but they still walk on. And, the worst happens as I scream. Cookie's immediately gone, Cracker soon after. Ryouma lasts for 5 minutes.

He starts, "R-Rumi... I.. Love..." then dies. Right in front of my eyes. Then everyone they knew and loved started shaming me for that. I got depressed and suicidal. I went on a building, and jumped off.

I woke up with a scream and tears. Ryouma immediately hugs me and tries to calm me down. Cracker and Cookie burst through the door yelling, "What happened?! Is she okay?! What the heck happened?!"

They see me crying and hug me altogether. "Shh, sh. Rumi it's okay. We're here for you. It was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare." Ryouma soothes me. I cry into his chest quietly, shaking really hard while trying to hug him tightly.

"Cracker, get some water." Cookie snaps. He immediately gets up and rushes to get water for me. A minute later, he comes back with water and some crackers for me to eat. I manage to drink the water and calm down a bit.

"You wanna tell me what happened in your nightmare?" Ryouma asks softly.

I nod. "W-we were walking and talking. Having fun and all. I d-dropped something and you guys d-didn't notice so you kept walking. You guys went p-pretty far so tried to catch up but you g-guys were r-really fast. You guys w-were at a stoplight and the light turned green. A-and you guys j-just kept w-walking-" I cry more. Ryouma pats my back and gives me the glass of water once more to calm down. After I drink some more water and calm down, I continue. "All of you guys got hit. Cookie and C-Cracker died immediately and you died 5 minutes after trying to say something. Then everyone started shaming me for that. And I got depressed and suicidal so I jumped off of a building..."

End
