OK, who else has been waiting for this?! I know I have for AGES! Also, this takes place a year or so before some of the earlier stories
CHPT7
October 26th, Yasogami High.
"This means for the culture festival, we'll have a group date cafe." The student said at the front of the board.
"Oh come on! You've gotta be kidding me! What's a group date cafe and who's idea was this?!" Chie bolted up from her seat, shouting at the class.
"That'd be their idea." Link pointed with a pen to Souji.
"I messed up...it was supposed to be a joke." Yosuke sighed.
"I-It seemed pretty fun at the sounds of it. I've never been on a group date so I thought I'd give it a try." Yukiko added.
"I would have preferred making a maze. It would have been funny watching Cirno get lost in it." Link snickered as the whole class broke into a conversation.
"This class is pathetic..." Chie sighed.
"Well good luck to you and Yukiko in that other event." Yosuke smiled slyly.
"What?" She ran out the classroom door during a break and saw that a beauty pageant list was up.
"People have some guts signing up for this, gotta be rough getting up on stage." Someone said.

Chie kicked Yosuke into the fence on the roof. "Ok smart-ass! You signed us up without asking?!"
"It seemed like a good idea! Besides, the stars of the school need to be realized! Every guy has a secret crush on Yukiko-"
"Not me." Link interrupted.
"You're not helping! And we have Risette, and a detective prince! The stars need to go on stage."
"Then why'd you sign up Chie and Cirno?" Link asked drinking a soda and Chie threw Yosuke into the wall again.
"Oh come on! You guys gotta admit you're stoked for this!" Yosuke looked at Kanji, Souji and Link.
"Me? Well I think it'll be interesting."
"Just once I'm going to say, for this pageant-" Souji went into a long rant with differing stories..."And that's why you're going to go on stage."
"Uh...Can I back out?" Cirno stuttered.
"Aww, looks like somebody has stage fright!" Link laughed.
"Stop it!" Cirno swatted at Link with her face suddenly red.
"Hey, I'm just saying. Besides, the teacher said no way that anyone can back out." Link announced.
Yosuke looked at him. "Seriously? HA! You five have to do it then! This is going to be sweet!"
-October 28th, Yasogami high main hall-
"Wow, they're seriously doing that again! Man, I wonder who's going to be embarrassed first!" Yosuke read down the list and saw his name. "Me?! You're on here too..." Souji looked down at it.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Link walked in and Yosuke dragged his collar and put him near the board.
"You see your name there?!" Link nodded. "You're going to have to do a drag show..."
"Uh...what?"
"Cross dressing, you have to dress like a girl." Souji said shuddering.
"Chie's gonna get it!" Yosuke screamed and they walked to the classroom.
"What the hell were you thinking?! A drag show?!"
"Ooh that, Yeah Rise said we should all have fun at the festival, don't you think so?" Chie snickered and kept making the paper flowers.
"That's really messed up! It's not fun at all! Drag show, what the heck!"
"Don't worry, we'll make you really pretty."
"I can't think of what Cirno will do to me...She's gonna probably dress me up in one of her dresses and dye my hair..." Link held his head. "Or even worse."
"P-Pretty? As long as I'm not the ugly chick I'm fine!" Kanji said with enthusiasm.
"You're seriously going in with this?!" Yosuke turned towards Kanji.
"It actually may be fun..." Link sighed. "I'm gonna regret this, but sure."
"Oh come on!"
"You heard what he said, nobody could back out." Chie smirked.
"Great, scarred for life in front of a high school crowd..."
"We'll make sure it's a deep scar at that." Chie glared at Yosuke.
"Great..." Link got off the phone. "Cirno says she already has something for me...And three different outfits to choose from."
"Please tell me it won't be just as bad for us..." Yosuke whined.
"Oh it will be." Yukiko smiled slyly.
"This is great. Just great!"

October 29th, the whole high school had just been fitted with a cultural atmosphere.
"Another festival! This is great!" Cirno said taking a popsicle Link handed to her.
"You're exited as well? They don't even know much culture, Gensokyo's humans can pull off a better party." Link said looking at the various stands.
"Excuse me, but did you say 'Humans'?" Someone said from the fortune teller's booth.
"Uh..." Link kept quiet.
"H-He did. How did she hear us?" Cirno whispered into Link's hair.
"I can hear better then you two...I can also see through his disguise." She pointed at Link.
"Wait a second...I've seen you before..." Link thought for a moment and heard the woman laugh.
"I believe we have, but how about you sit down for a moment. I'll be able to give you a free fortune because of your...Social connections." She said and he calmly walked over and Cirno sat down in another chair near Link.
"Now, let's see here...I can see you two both have a strong bond towards each other..." She smiled under her blue hood and the duo looked one another.
"You can say that. She's my best friend." Link said turning around to the teller.
"Y-Yeah...he is mine too." Cirno said, slightly saddened.
"I'm not talking about friendship, not at all, there's something more." She started waving her hands near the crystal ball and a tarot card flew out of her robe. "This may say otherwise." She flipped it and it showed The Lovers arcana.
"W-What?" Link gawked at the card. "You're making that up!"
"Actually..." Cirno smiled and blushed at Link.
"...No wonder when we were forced to play the king's game that you were eager to get a hug from me."
"And...I know you two have slept in the same bed for the past year." She covered her mouth and chuckled. "Did that slip through?"
"...Margaret, take off the hood. Souji told me ALL about you." Link glared.
"My my my, you have the wrong person."
"Your hair's white."
"And I know your soon to be wife's is blue."
"Soon to be wife?!" Link said surprised.
"It may not be that far, but I know you two will have a lasting relationship."
"We're gonna go now..." Cirno said with her face beat red and they walked away.
"You're really flustered now." Link notted.
"Am not!"
"Oh fine. Come on, some of the others are working on the group date cafe." They weaved through the festival, taking a stop to get some Soba noodles and went to the group date cafe. "Hel- Why are there four guys and two girls?"
"This couldn't have gone worse...that's all I'm saying." Yosuke said on the girl's side.
"Hey, it's not all bad." Kanji said smiling casually.
"Of course you'd say that." Yosuke took a look at Cirno. "How come she's all red?"
"The fortune teller told us some...interesting things." Link said sighing.
"Oh. Like what?" Chie asked getting up from the table. "This was a bust so we're gonna shut down for the day."
"Eh...Who we are going to marry." Cirno said still red.
"Ooooh! Who'd that be?" Chie asked and the whole group was interested now.
"Well...we both have known each other for a while now..." Link sighed.
"Dude, I bet you're gonna be lucky with her." Kanji said and the group was surprised. "Really, you seem strong enough. You cook, you can clean, really from the camping trip you can do everything! He even patched the tent when a branch cut through."
"Well...thanks." Link smiled.
"You're hiding something." Chie announced.
"No we aren't."
"Well can we at least have their name?"
"Uh...You know, this really is a bad spot now and-" Link started rambling on until Yukiko spoke up.
"At least tell us if we all know her."
"Uh yeah...She's kinda in this room."
"Wait...what?" Chie glared. "That fortune teller is wrong."
"No she isn't...I know who it is too." Cirno smiled brightly.
"...It's you." Souji stated.
"C-Correct!" Link smiled.
"She's younger then you!" Yosuke said appalled by the sudden news.
"It was just a fortune, and no she isn't. She's in her 60's actually, and she's a fairy, she'll last a lot longer then you'd think with me keeping up my job of protecting her."
"That explains it. No wonder you both didn't ask for another bed when you checked her in!" Yukiko said remembering the moment a few months ago.
"Not that reason! I need to cool down a lot." Link said trying to cover up the situation.
"Huh...I'm still suspicious." Chie glared.
"Well...we're gonna go..." Cirno and Link ran out quickly.
"Yeah, I learned never to trust that chick who runs the fortune telling booth. But for them, I'll take it for the truth." Kanji shrugged.
CHPT7
October 30th, in the main classroom the whole group walked in and the guys stood at the door in despair of what will happen...except for Teddie, just going with the flow.
"Alright, who's ready for despair and misery?" Link asked the three near him.
"Not me..." Yosuke sighed.
"Come on Link, I have three outfits you get to choose from!" Cirno smiled with a large case.
"Everyone sit down, we need to get you ready." Chie said cracking her knuckles.
"What's bad is...I'm getting dressed by her." Yosuke pointed to Chie and groaned as the makeover began for everyone else but Link, who was put into another classroom.
"Alright, pick an outfit." Cirno layed out three different ones, some of them had to do with dying is hair or a wig...her choice.
"D-Did you really steal those from them?! I'm not wearing that one!" He kicked back the central.
"Ok, either the other one where I make your hair grey, or the one where you have to keep your arms straight...but we have to use contacts that make your eyes look red."
"Just keep my hair from being dyed...please..." Link sighed and the chair was turned around...soon he felt a cover go over him and heard a snipping sound. "Are you cutting my hair?!" He screamed.
"I have to! Hold on, your hair's actually longer then it needs to be." Cirno said chopping off a large portion of it.
"Great...I look like I have a bowl haircut now." He groaned as part of his hair was sticking up. "Wait a second...How come I look like her right now?!" He winced as she put the contacts in and his pupils now looked a deep red.
"At least you don't need a hat...You just need a small bow." She giggled putting it in his hair.
"...Just hurry up." Link sighed and heard a screaming in the next room over.
"Final touches!" Cirno stood him up and put the dress on him after a white undershirt and some long socks and a pair of black loafers. "Perfect! Revenge is so sweet!"
"Not that sweet..." He sighed.
"Keep your arms out, it makes it look exactly like her." Cirno lifted up Link's arms. "There we go...they sound ready." She shoved him outside and the others were surprised it was Link.
"H-He actually looks like a girl!" Yukiko gasped.
"I look like one of the annoying friends of Cirno's." He moaned. "She keeps her arms like this all the time!"
"Hey, you may win this." Kanji sighed. "I look like an old lady." He said as they were walked to the stage. The MC called out the first three and the crowd was laughing and the various chants were called out.
The MC took out a note card. "Up next is our forth of five contestants, we have a second year class two student, who comes all the way out in the woods near a 'Misty Lake', she'll protect her best friends, Link!" The MC held out his arm and Link walked out, dressed exactly like Rumia, even pulling off the voice very closely.
"Hello there, nice to eat you- I mean meet you!" He smiled and winked and the crowd roared.
"That's a guy? Huh, what'd ya know?" A girl said in the background.
"Hey, a date doesn't sound that awful if he wasn't like that." A male said far away.
"I'm definitely voting for him!" Another girl said enthusiastically.
"Well, you've obviously have a few fans...Can you tell us about yourself?" The MC said nearly dying of laughter.
"Yeah I can. My favorite time is night, I love the taste of meat, especially cooked medium-rare and I love to...pull off pranks?" He said whimpering slightly and the crowd cheered.
"Dude, how are you doing that?! You're pulling it off too well!" Yosuke asked.
"What the voice? Simple, I practice." Link looked across the stage. "At least your clothes weren't stolen...and fit correctly."
"That's kind of bad." Yosuke looked at Link. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." The MC announced Teddie and he came out skipping, and gave a twirl and the crowd was cheering non-stop.
"Wow...That killed me a bit." Link sighed. "I thought I was gonna win."
"Stop being so enthusiastic! Yosuke screeched.
"Well then...We all know our winner! Let's give it for our runner up though, folks!" The crowd cheered as the spotlight was on Link.
"Oh great...I was in second." Link sighed and winked again. "Gotta appeal to the crowd."
