A/N:

Me: Ugh...I have too much to do before college. *Is totally ignoring doing all of what she needs to and continues playing Pokemon White*

Mepple: *Storms in, angry*

Me: What's wrong with you?

Mepple: *Points at the latest review on this story* GET YOUR BUTT ON THE STORY, MEPO!

Me: Well, sorry. I have a billion and two things to do it feels like. Plus, it's been too hot.

Mepple: A BILLION AND TWO THINGS MY BUTT, MEPO!

Me: Hey, no yelling at the author! *Getting into a fight with Mepple...Again*

Honoka: Not again...*Swetdrops with Mipple* But Sakura is truely sorry for being lazy for taking this long with a new chapter. She did have a few things to do this summer, plus her cousins seem to pick her up to kidnap her (Adultnap by Kuma) to their house.

Mipple: But thank you for waiting. She also apologizes for the short fight , when Nagisa is a boy, she is Kyou Meguorome, mipo. Only Honoka, Mepple, and Mipple know, mipo. This story is her point of view. Her phrase is kept the same as usual, mipo. Also, the author gets to talk a bit in this chapter. Look for the bold, that's her, mipo.

Honoka: The author only own this plot, nothing else. And she's sorry for the long A/N. Now let's get started. Also, please read the underline part in the ending A/N because it's an important announcement.

Chapter Four: The Fundraiser

A normal day at school…So far. The school was supposed to get together for some kind of assembly. This really cannot be good, can it?

I entered the auditorium while looking for Honoka. What? I might as well sit by someone who knows the truth. Also, Mepple wouldn't stop nagging about wanting to be by Mipple. That reminds me: When did he wake up anyway? Oh well. I guess I'll never know.

"Hurry up, Nagisa, mepo! I want to see Mipple, mepo!"

I glared at the pouch that was moving wildly. After a smack, he still wouldn't stop struggling. "Mepple, stop it! We'll find them soon enough. And don't call me Nagisa…"

"But I want to see Mipple now, mepo!"

"Stuff it! Or I'll duct tape your mouth shut!"

My last statement finally shut him up. Good! I don't need a billion questions all asking why a phone is talking. I started to look around the auditorium again. Honoka was standing by two seats and waving at me. I waved back and ran over.

"Thank you," I commented to Honoka as I smiled at her. As I sat down, Mepple changed into his normal form.

"Mipple!" he softly called. "Mipple? Where are you, mepo?"

"Mepple!" shouted Mipple as she changed. The two rubbed against each other, saying, "Love, love."

"They never change do they?" As I finished asking that question, I looked to Honoka, smiled, and chuckled.

Honoka nodded back with a quick, "Yep," and chuckled along.

The other students sat down as our principal stood at the podium. We did the same. Mepple and Mipple jumped unto our laps and returned to their commune forms. Then, the principal started on the long, boring speech. I really don't think you want to hear it. Don't you? So let's skip to the next scene. Please?

"Arienaai…" I murmured. My eyes trailed down to the boxes of chocolaty goodness in my hands. It was bad enough that I couldn't eat it. But we also had to sell it for school. My emotionless face looked at the box a bit more before looking towards Honoka, who was walking alongside me. "Why do we have to do this again?" I groaned towards her.

Honoka chuckled at my reaction to the school fundraiser. I really wanted to tell you she was mean. But another look at that sweet, sensitive face stopped that plan in its tracks. …Okay, what's happening to me? Never mind, back to the story.

The female next to me was still chuckling. "That would be just like you." She cleared her throat before continuing. "You know we do this fundraiser every year, right Nagisa?"

"Uh…Yeah…" Truthfully, I usually block this from my mind. I think it's because of the chocolate I can't eat.

Mepple turned into his normal form and sat on my shoulder. He had this mischievous look on his face. "All Nagisa cares about is chocolate and Fuji-P, mepo. Do you think with that, she still has brainpower to remember anything else, mepo?"

Mipple looked out of her pouch. Her face showed concern at her partner. And it should. "Mepple…Don't aggravate Na-Kyou, mipo."

As much as I hate and shudder from that name, I was happy that Mipple was the only one actually using it right now.

"Like I care, mepo." Mepple stuck his tongue out at me.

My hands gently set down the boxes, then flew to catch the annoying mascot that I had to take care of. Why did I get him in the first place? Note to self, never wish on shooting stars again. Anyways, I started to yell at him. "Maybe you should shut up before I stop giving you food! Or better yet, lock you up!" A smile crossed my face as I continued screaming the threats at him.

He just stuck out his tongue. Then continued, "You know you can't do that, mepo. Without me, you and Honoka would probably be defeated by the Dark Zone by now, mepo."

I hated to admit it, but he's right. Without him, we can't transform. Then, we would be done for sure. I just grunted as Mepple returned to his commune form and I stuffed him in my pouch. I bent down to pick up the boxes. Then told Honoka, "Come on. Let's go sell these before the idiot speaks again…"

"What was that, mepo!"

The next house we went to was actually a residence in an apartment complex. Why did it look familiar? Oh well.

Honoka came up behind me and knocked on the door. She looked back at me. "Are you coming Kyou?"

"Oh…Uh…Yeah!" I stuttered. I walked up to her while holding the boxes. My face looked in surprise as the door was opened. This was my house! And my mom was the one who answered.

She looked at us two and smiled. "Oh hi Nagisa! Honoka!" It took her a minute to realize something. "Wait, Nagisa!" She furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Aren't you supposed to be an exchange student somewhere!" She took a closer look at me. "Why do you look different?"

I backed away at her glare. My male voice took over. "I heard that I look like this Nagisa. But I'm not. I'm Kyou Meguorame, a temporary student here at Verone. It's nice to meet you ma'am." I bowed at her, hoping that she would take the lie.

She finally backed up. "Oh, I see now," my mom finally chuckled. "Obviously Nagisa doesn't look like a boy. What am I thinking?" Then my mom turned to Honoka. "Then have you got any word from Nagisa? I haven't heard anything from her."

Honoka smiled and nodded yes. "I have. She's fine and wanted to say hi. She doesn't have much time to call, so she calls my grandmother and tells us to pass the word on."

"I see. So, what are you two here for?"

I opened the box and took out a chocolate bar. "Do you want to buy a chocolate bar for Verone?"

My mother scratched her head and nervously chuckled. "Sorry. I already bought some from someone else. Bye!" She quickly shut the door. I fell to the ground in disbelief. That was, I think, the thirteenth person we asked and the thirteenth time we got a 'no.'

Honoka looked at me and chuckled. "Maybe we should give up and try some other day. Ready to go home and eat?"

"Sure," I managed to get out. Honoka helped me up and we both walked back to her house.

The next time we tried selling was Sunday because of all of our schoolwork. Well, most of it was Honoka trying to help me. Anyways, for the past three hours we've been trying to sell chocolate, but no one wanted to buy. My stomach started to growl, so Honoka suggested it was time for a lunch break. Lucky for me, the best place to eat was just around the corner.

"Come on!" I yelled as I caught the whiff of takoyaki. I grabbed Honoka's wrist and broke into a run.

The girl I was pulling screamed most of the way to Akane's shop. Once in a while, I heard a "Kyou slow down!" or "Watch out for that post!" It never deterred me as I made my way to my destination.

"Thank you, come again!" I could hear Akane say as we were walking up to her shop. Yes, I was tired by this point. Akane was waving good-bye to two customers. She then spotted us. "Hi Honoka. It's unusual to see you without Nagisa." Akane cocked her head to me. "And who's this?"

Akane…One of the greatest teammates I've ever had. A great friend to talk to. I wish I could tell her everything, but I can't. She'd probably think I'm crazy. I mentally chuckled at that last statement.

"Hello? Who are you?" Akane asked, speaking to me like I was a little kid not paying attention.

"Uh, sorry. I'm Kyou. It's nice to meet you." I bowed to Akane, mostly to hide the blush on my face. She softly chuckled at me. "S-Something wrong?" I stuttered as I kept looking down.

"Sorry. You just remind me a lot of someone I know." Akane stopped chuckling and looked towards Honoka, asking, "Where is Nagisa? I'm getting worried. She usually stops by about once a day, but I haven't seen her for about three days. And I haven't heard anything from her family. Is she okay?"

Honoka smiled and nodded yes. "She's fine. She's on a foreign exchange trip."

"Good," Akane sighed. She walked into the car that was her shop. "So I'm guessing you two are hungry? A batch of takoyaki coming up!" She turned and started to cook on her stove. Honoka and I set the chocolate boxes on the counter and sat down.

It was silent for a bit and it was getting awkward. Honoka finally broke the ice. "Do you want some chocolate, Akane?"

"Thank you but no Honoka." Akane turned away for a second. "I have no time to exercise right now because of my job so I need to eat healthy." She then turned back to cook.

Once Akane finished the food, because I'm STARVING, she set it on the counter. I dug in it without a second thought. As usual, Akane's takoyaki rocked my taste buds. That's why it's the best. Honoka looked at me, chuckled, and finally dug into hers, eating slowly and carefully.

"You just remind me more and more of Nagisa, don't you Kyou," said Akane as she smiled at me.

I gulped down the takoyaki already in my mouth and nervously chuckled, "I guess."

Akane served one more person. Honoka and I finished and paid for the meal.

That was when Akane walked by us. She was giggling again, but for a different reason. "You two look too cute together," she taunted.

That one statement fired me up. I was madly blushing. Just to get away from Akane laughing, I picked up my boxes of chocolate and ran like heck out of there. Why did Akane have to joke about that? I'm still a bit shaken up from what Honoka said.

"I think I love you!" Honoka exclaimed more slowly.

As I remembered what she said, I set the chocolate boxes down and clenched my head. Why did she have to say it? I wish I could make that memory go away. Why couldn't Honoka be in love with some other guy.

Why can't Nagisa see foreshadowing when it stares at her in the face? Mepple chuckled in agreement of my (The author's) statement.

Shut up author. I'm the narrator of the story!

Okay, okay, fine. Back to the story.

I laid against the post and slid down into a sitting position. My head was buried into my arms. Why did this have to happen to me? Being a boy was hard enough. But to have your friend that's really the same gender as you be in love with you? That's too much.

There was an odd moment as Mepple talked. "You're making this too big of a deal Nagisa, mepo. You shouldn't worry about it this much, mepo."

"Are you sure Mepple?" I lifted my head up a bit.

"Yes! Now go back to her and continue fundraising, mepo!"

I nodded at him. Then got myself up. I was reaching down for the boxes as Honoka walked up with a concerned look on her face.

"Something wrong Honoka?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you were okay."

"I'm fine. Now let's get selling."

The next few tries went like this:

"Chocolate?"

"No thank you." They shut the door.

"Chocolate?"

They shut the door.

"Chocolate?"

SLAM!

Honoka and I were sitting on the park bench. I sighed, "This is failing….Maybe we should give up now."

"We can't Kyou."

"Then what's the point of this? Besides for the school?"

"Um…" Honoka started to look through her brain. I just groaned at her.

"Zakenna!"

Honoka and I simultaneously gulped. "Oh no…" We turned to the monster, which today was of a slide from the park. Pisard was standing right next to it.

"Of course it would be you…" I growled.

Pisard shrugged, unphased. "Who else?"

The two of us slid the cards through Mepple and Mipple. We held hands and shouted, "Dual Aurora Wave!"

And now, the pointless stuff in the transformation. All of which the author will just cut out for the fanfiction.

Hey!

"Emissary of Light, Cure Black!"

"Emissary of Light, Cure White!"

"Together, we are Pretty Cure!"

"Servant of the Dark Powers!"

"Return to the darkness from which you came!"

After I finished my last line, I turned to White. "Let's hurry to get him…Err, it…Whatever, down so we can use a Marble Screw!" White nodded in agreement.

The two of us jumped to double kick the Zakenna. It blocked us with its arm so we just kicked back off of that. White and I were trying to strike the monster with attacks that the author is just too lazy to write in right now while trying to finish the chapter.

Are you trying to hint at something? Grr…Nagisa! Okay, I'll describe them a bit more. Happy now!

Yes. Honoka tried to low sweep the Zakenna, but it just lifted its leg. I tried jumping onto its head, but it just knocked me down. Every punch, every kick that we tried, it just deflected them. With a punch to the ground, it sent us jumping back.

Both White and I landed side by side. The Zakenna started to storm over to us for a final blow. That's when I noticed its feet. Before I could register what happened, it smashed our fundraiser materials. I started to stutter in anger.

White looked at me like I was crazy. "Are you okay Black?"

Pisard could feel my anger. He disappeared and wasn't seen for the rest of the battle. I would like to add, that was the best plan he's ever had.

"That poor, defenseless chocolate…And you had to smash it!" My eyes lit up. "I'll get revenge for it!" I know White would think I'm crazy for this, feeling remorse for some inanimate object that is common, but I don't care. With a good geared up punch, I destroyed the Zakenna in one shot. It turned into Gommennas and ran away. I smiled at what I did. Then looked towards White, who was staring blankly. "What? Is something wrong?"

It took her a bit to respond. I wondered what she would think of the person she loved now. But I know she would still love me despite this. Oh well. She smiled, probably out of the happiness that the Zakenna was gone. I could her Mipple saying something soft from her pouch. White told her, "I agree." Then she looked at me. "Remind me, never to get between you and your chocolate or takoyaki."

I smiled back. "No problem." Then I grabbed the smash chocolate. "We're dead. So, how are we going to tell our teacher this one?"

The next day, we showed our destroyed chocolate to Takenouchi-sensei. We told her as much as we could of the truth. Because, as usual, we couldn't tell her the whole truth. She wouldn't believe us and possibly would think we were crazy. It still angered her, especially when one of her best students wasn't careful of it. We got board cleaning duty for a week thanks to Pisard and this incident.

A/N: Wow...This chapter failed.

Mipple: Don't say that, mipo.

Me: It did. My brain hates working during summer break. I had to reedit some of this chapter as it was.

Also, can everyone please hold off on the "Hurry Up" comments until September 1st. I'll try to work as fast as I can, but since I'm going to be going to college this year, I have to move into my dorm this month. I will have a lot to do before then, including cleaning out my current room and getting it ready for my brother, getting my supplies together, and getting some fandubbing stuff done like a demo reel and get things done for our Tokyo Mew Mew fandub. Thank you and I'll try to get a new chapter up later next month or September.

Next time we will be having a dance. I'll give you ten (virtual) bucks if you can correctly guess who's going with who.

Edit [9/5/12]: Uh...Check that. I thought I should post this now because of a comment I got today. I have not had any time to write because of classes and the play that I somehow got Asst. Manager too. Can we please hold off on the hurry up comments a bit longer. *Puppy dog eyes*

Mepple: How about you get writing lazy!

Me: *Glares and picks him up* YOU TRY DOING CAMP, 16 CREDITS OF COURSES, AND STAY FOR A PRACTICE, THEN SPEAK TO ME!

Nagisa: *Sweatdrop* She's lost it...

Honoka: *Sweatdrop* Yup...

(Okay, that was a joke. But please can we hold off on those kinds of comments for a bit. I hate being a Freshman in College . Thank you and good night!)
