Me: Sorry it took so long. School's started and I can only type on the weekends.

Brick: Don't forget about leaving us deserted in your cellar like a bunch of old toys.

Butch: And to tell MaxKill I so do not look fat in that shirt!

Me: Now why would I do that if it's true?

Butch: Oh no you didn't.

Boomer: Oh yes she did.

Me: Boomer, no one was talking to you.

Boomer: Then why'd you say my name?

Me: I didn't.

Boomer: Yes you did. Four sentences ago!

Me: That was then, this is now!

Boomer: You're not making any sense!

Me: You're not making any sense!

Boomer: See! This girls confusing me!

Me: Well you're confusing me!

Me and Boomer: *go into a big fuss about confusing one another*

Blossom: DD does not own ANYTHING from PPGZ.

Bubbles: Only her OC's she may or may not add in here.

Buttercup: And the plot and stuff she put in here. So no stealing, she got to it first.

Butch and Brick: Hazar!

Buttercup: What was that about?

Brick: I don't know.

Butch: I just felt like doing that.

Bubbles and Blossom: Hope you enjoy!

Boomer: And give me some cameras so I can take pics of myself! *goes back to arguing with DD*

Miyako/Bubbles POV

Mokoto and I exit the theater, laughing all the way. That was a really good movie, although I was kind of surprised Mokoto didn't mind seeing it. Wasn't that like a girls kind of thing?

"It was nice hanging out with you, Miyako." Mokoto says.

"Same here. It was nice finally having someone willing enough to see a movie like that with me." I answer. He smiles and I smile back. "I gotta go though or I'm gonna be late."

"Where are you going?" he asks. "I mean, you know I could probably come with you?" He smiles sheepishly.

"Really? That would be amazing! Thank you so much!" I exclaim. I grab his hand and pull him down the street, making him drop his remaining popcorn. We glide through the crowd and are at the hospital before I know it. I lead him inside and start looking for the door 204. When I find it, I push the door open and look at the figure laying on the bed.

"Hi Takaaki." I greet stepping up to the side of his bed.

"Hey Miyako." he says with a smile. "I was wondering when you'd get here. Running a little late, are we?"

I giggle. "Sorry, I was a bit busy. But I'm here now."

"Who's he?" Takaaki asks. I turn around and see Mokoto still lingering in the door.

He steps forward, standing right behind me. "I'm Mokoto." he answers with a smirk.

"New comer?" Takaaki asks me.

"Yep." I answer. "One that fell off the building."

"No need to go on about that." Mokoto blurts.

"We'll have to see you later Takaaki." I say. "We haven't eaten anything and are starving!"

"See ya then." he says, his smile slowly fading.

"Bye Takaaki." I answer. I pull Mokoto out of the room and into the hallway.

"So," he starts, "are you guys like… together or something?" I blush at the question and Mokoto tries not to make any eye contact.

"Um…no." I say in a voice barley above a whisper. I clear my throat and speak a little louder. "Our… relationship is more like a brother and sister type."

His eyes dart back to mine, and I don't know if I was imagining it or not, but his face looked like it was immediately full of relief. "Oh, okay." he replies. "That's cool."

I just laugh. "Come on. Let's just get something to eat."

Momoko/Blossom POV

When I walked out of the door I saw Mamoru sitting by the wall staring off at something. I was surprised he was still here but more curious about what he was looking at. I was about to follow his gaze when he turned to me.

"Hey Momoko!" he greets. "How was the play?"

"You're still here?" I ask bypassing his question.

"Well geez. I wonder why else I'm standing right here in front of you. Talking and being sarcastic." he says.

"Enough with the sarcasm!" I yell. "I don't need that right now." I look down and see a bunch of bills sticking out of Mamoru's pocket.

"You did have money!" I swat at him. "You made me pay for my own ticket on purpose!"

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" He grabs onto my wrist to keep me from swatting at him some more. "I just went back to my house to get some more cash. I didn't have it with me before."

"Oh." I say dumbly. "Well that makes sense."

"You got a sweet tooth on you?" he asks.

"Always." I answer, a smile starting to form on my lips.

"Then would you like to-"

I cut him off, "Yes, yes, and yes." I drag him to the nearest candy shop, (his hands were still holding down my wrist so I ended up walking backwards) until I found a seat at the back. I sat down and had Mamoru order me a bunch of different treats (too much to name) and waited.

I skimmed my eyes across the room impatiently. My foot tapped under the table and I groaned. How long does it take someone to get me a week supply of candies?

"Hey Momoko!" The voice sounded familiar. I couldn't identify it probably so I turned around, which is something I shouldn't have done. Taking up my line of vision, Sakamoto stood there, crooked yellow teeth displayed and arms out like I was going to leap in them and give him a huge hug. Yeah right!

Sakamoto was like only the creepiest of creepers. Every time I turned around there he'd be. He also made it obvious that he totally had a crush on me, not like I'm going to return the favor or anything. I mean, don't get me wrong. Sakamoto is a really nice person but… he's so annoying.

He slid into the seat across from me as if I had invited him over. His eyes were wider like a deer in headlights and his hair needed to me cut, like now. It was longer than Mamoru's.

"It's so good to see you!" he says. "How's it been?" He acts like he hasn't seen me in like forever. I know he knows that I know I saw him following me around all summer.

"I'm swell." I say. My eyes dropped to my twisted hands on my lap. "Just swell."

"That's good! That's really good!" he continues. "May I ask what brings you here?" Well I want some candy, what else?

"Well, actually I-"

"Whose this?" Mamoru cuts me off. He slides into the booth next to me, pushing me to the other edge. "Here's your candy." He hands me two huge bags, he has three.

"Uh… this is-"

"What's it to you?" Sakamoto says cutting me off.

"Oh nothing." Mamoru answers. "Just wanted to know who was intruding our date. That way I know to or not to knock them upside their heads."

You could tell Mamoru was getting irritated, and we are so not on a date!

"Oh." Sakamoto says, his eyes with just a little tint of glumness. "In that case, I'm sorry. I guess I'll see you guys around." When he gets up I see him give Mamoru a look as if saying, "It's so on!" Oh brother.

"So," Mamoru says turning to me, although his eyes were still on Sakamoto as he left the store, "Who was he?"

"Just Sakamoto." I answer. I didn't say anymore though, he didn't need to know the gory details.

"Whatever." he said looking down in the one bag he had in his hands. He sounded inadvertent about it. Okay, so there will be no war. What a relief.

I take a piece of candy from my bag and unwrap it. I pop it in my mouth and chew slowly, thinking. How could I make this conversation less awkward? Then it hit me.

I stuffed my bags in my big purse and took the hat he had on his head. Placing it on the same way he had had it on, I make a run for it.

"Hey, give that back!" he shouts. His voice is as uneven as mine so I know he's after me.

"You gonna have to catch me first!" I shout back, sneaking a peek behind me. Ah, now that was a way to end a conversation.

Kaoru/Buttercup POV

I turned my head to the direction of the noise, alert and ready for action. But what I see disappoints me. It turns out it was just a girl who fell into muddy water and wet her skirt. What a baby!

"Wow. Now that was stupid." Katsu says.

"Hmmm. Very." I agree.

"Now where were we?" he asks.

"I honestly can't remember." I answer.

"I can." he replies. He leans forward very quickly and before I have time to react I'm on my back and Katsu's sitting up in front of me. His right arm stretches out over my shoulder and…

"Can't forget about the pepper." he brings the container up to him and starts sprinkling his salad. I still laid there, shock taking over. My mouth dropped and eyes wide.

"I am going to kill you!" I say with a voice full of venom, getting up. I brought an arm up to swing at him but he caught it almost effortlessly.

"You might want to save the energy for the fight." he suggests. "Don't want to lose, do you?"

"No, I don't want to lose." I release my hand from his grip and he drops his hand as well, then I slap him. "But that was funny."

"To you." he says rubbing at the mark on his cheek.

"You know it." I answer with a smirk, then stuff a sandwich in my mouth and chase it down with water.

"Kaoru! Kaoru! I'm back!" a familiar voice sings from behind me. I turn around and come face to face with the one and only...

"Mitch!" I scream. I get up on my feet and slap five with him. "It's so good to see you! I thought you were away at some boarding school!"

"I got expelled but I'm back." he answers.

"Who's this?" Katsu says coming over, wrapping an arm around me. I take his arm off and throw it behind his back.

"Oof!" Katsu groans.

"I'm Mitch." he introduces.

"More like-"

"Okay!" I say, cutting Katsu off. "It was really nice seeing you again, Mitch. But me and Katsu have some unfinished business to handle so I guess I'll see you later."

Mitch moves his body over to the left, taking a peak over my shoulder and looking over where our picnic was set up.

"Yeah, I can see you're busy." he said in a solemn tone.

"Bye Mitch." I say.

"Yeah, bye." And with that he's off with one last glare in Katsu's direction.

"I don't like him." Katsu says pulling me back over to the blanket.

"And I don't care." I reply, sitting down.

"Like I don't know that!" he scoffs, taking a seat also.

"Whatever. Lets just eat." I say, already starting to dig in.

"Way ahead of ya." he agrees. Then holds up two containers. "Salt and pepper?" I glare at him.

"Guess not." he mutters setting them down.

After eating I get into a round of stretches and do a short run around the park, warming up. From Katsu's side of the area I can see him doing the same thing. Boy was I gonna have to teach this guy a lesson.

Me: Yay! I'm done!

Everyone else: WHOOHOO!

Me: And I've decided to add a new rule. *dramatic pause* I will not update until I get five reviews after every chapter.
