Here is the new chapter for my story :)
This chapter will bring back a little memory from SIU movie
In this chapter, i will introduce my second hot spot in Miami - Fruits and Spies Park
The festival I'm mentioning here does not really have the green house activity, I have only added that in myself to spice up the story a little bit
But the fruits mentioned in this chapter were indeed found at the Fruits and Spies Park :)
Even the mango cafe i mention was also an actual cafe found in Fruits and Spies Park
Oh and btw I still open on the song for Cece and Rocky to sing for Austin Concert.
It has to be a song that describes the strong friendship bond Cece and Rocky have.
I may change the song if you guys suggest another one that's even more appropriate than the one I had in mind :)
Chapter Nine: Festival Time!
(Still…) At Mall of Miami:
Cece and Rocky looked at each other for a minute before they finally realised that Jimmy is referring to the Watanabe Music Festival in Japan – Watanabelooza!
"Do you mean the Watanabelooza in Japan three years ago?" Rocky asked.
Rocky's word lit the light bulb on top of Jimmy.
"Yes! Now I remember. I was in Japan working on a project with Mr Watanabe three years ago, when an app virus with you girls in it starts to spread around Japan. You girls even perform at the Watanabe Music Festival that Mr Watanabe invited me to." Jimmy said.
Austin and Ally eyes go wide upon wearing Jimmy's words.
"You guys have performed in Japan before!" Ally said, astonished.
Jimmy thought for a second and decides to give Cece and Rocky one change, "Ok fine, Austin. I will squeeze in one song for them. But you and Ally have to promise me that on Saturday, their performed will surprise me! Got it."
"Definitely, Jimmy! We promised." Austin and Ally promised.
"Ok. I will reserve the dance studio for you guys to practice tomorrow! And on Saturday, be at the stadium by 8 in the morning, got it? The show will be at 7 but I need you guys to come in for one last dress fitting and a rundown rehearsal before we go on live on National TV." Jimmy reminded before he left 'Mini's.
After Jimmy disappeared, the rest of them decided to return to Sonic Boom to meet Trish and Dez.
At Sonic Boom:
"It's soooo cool that you guys got to perform in Japan!" Austin said as they entered Sonic Boom.
"Thanks, Austin. That was indeed a very unique and unforgettable experience." Cece said while holding hands with Logan.
"So what song did you guys perform?" Ally asked, curious.
"Cece, why don't you show them the video Mr Watanabe gave you when we left Japan?" Ty asked.
"Sure, just let me get my phone." Cece said as she reached on her purse, with her other hand, to get her phone.
"Here you go!" Cece said as she passed her phone to Austin and Ally.
Just then, Trish and Dez arrived at Sonic Boom.
"Hey guys!" Dez greeted.
"What are you guys watching?" Trish asked as she saw Austin and Ally bend over a pink-cased iPhone.
"Trish! Dez! Come quick! You guys have to see this!" Ally said, gesturing to Cece's phone on Austin's hand.
Together, the four of them poke their head on top of Cece's phone, watching Cece and Rocky's performance for 'Made in Japan'. When the song finished, they returned the phone back to Cece.
"Wow, that performance was amazing!" Trish praised.
"But how did you two know about their performance in Japan?" Dez asked, curious.
Trish smacked Dez in his arm, "Of course it's because Cece and Rocky told them."
"Actually, it was Jimmy who told!" Ally interrupted.
"What?" Dez and Trish squealed.
"Yup, Jimmy recognized them from the performance when he was in Japan three years ago." Austin replied.
"Erm, guys!" Deuce said, trying to get their attention.
Austin, Ally, Trish and Dez then realize the gang is still there waiting.
"I know it is very cool that Cece and Rocky got to perform in Japan, but shouldn't we be going to somewhere? It's already 9." Deuce continued after getting everyone attention.
"Oh right! The 'Fruit and Spice Park'." Ally said after she remembered the purpose of meeting at Sonic Boom.
Ally quickly went up to the practice room to get her car keys, and together the eleven of them walked to the parking lot together.
At Fruit and Spice Park:
By the time they reached the parking lot of Fruit and Spice Park, it's already 9:30. It took Austin and Ally a while to find parking lots, as this festival is huge in Miami, while the rest went to buy tickets. At 10, the eleven of them finally manage to enter the festival door to have some fun. Since everyone is interested in different things, they decide to split but all promise to meet at Mango Café at 1 for lunch.
Cece, Rocky, Tinka and Ally decide to have a date with the plants, so they decide to explore the garden and may be harvest some fruits for their lunch later at Mango Café. Logan, Ty, Austin, Dez and Trish prefer to try some new exotic fruits and food, so they decide to hang by the vendor. Deuce and Dina, on the other hand, don't feel like going with either group so they decide to just have a little date, doing whatever they felt like doing which is nothing, apparently.
In the Green House:
"Whoa! Look at all the fruits that we haven't even heard before." Rocky exclaimed as they walked into the green house.
"Some of these fruits were also found in my old country. This star fruit and Dragon fruit remind me of my family's farm. They taste amazing! We have to try them later." Tinka squealed.
"I think we should take some of each and share them with the guys at Mango Café." Rocky suggested.
"Great idea, Tinka and I will pluck the fruits in those areas while you and Cece do the other side. Does that work for you?" Ally asks Rocky.
Rocky nodded her head; suddenly realize the absence of Cece. "Wait, where's Cece?"
As they turned their head, they saw Cece already eating lychee by the corner of the green house.
"Yummy!" Cece mumbled as her mouth is stuffed with lychees.
"CECE!" the girls shouted.
Their loud voice scare the hell out of Cece, she quickly spit out the seeds of the lychees before she shout back. "What?"
"We are supposed to be harvesting the fruits together! Not working on 'cleaning' all the fruits off their branches." Rocky half shouted to Cece.
Cece gave them a wry grin and whispered under her breath, "Sorry!"
Everyone shoot their head but couldn't help to smile at Cece's apology.
"Ok! Let's start harvesting!" Rocky announced.
Together, the four of them went to look the owner and took a basket each, for the fruits. After that, they return to the green house and start to move around the green house, tasting all kinds of different exotic fruits as they harvest. Time pass as fruits started to fill the basket. By the time when all four baskets were full, it's already 12:30.
"Whoa! That was fun, and tiring! But mainly fun!" Cece commented, smiling.
"I agree!" Rocky looked down to her phone to check if she received any message and just as she caught the time, she gasped, "Whoa! It's already 12:30. Time really flies when we were having fun!"
"Whoa! You're right. We better go to Mango Café first to get a table and let the waitress prepare these fruits." Ally suggested.
"Great idea! I need a drink, like now!" Tinka agreed.
At Festival Booths:
"Zam! This is delicious!" Logan said as he tried some fruit pie.
"Oh, man! You have to try this fruit cake! This tasted like heaven." Ty said when his mouth filled with fruit cake.
"Whoa! I saw ice cream! Be right back!" Trish announced, and quickly disappears out of sight before they can say anything.
"I love this chili! I need more! I need more!" Dez demanded, suddenly.
"Dez! Dez!" Austin half shouted, trying to get Dez attention.
Dez turned to look at Austin.
"Chill man! There will be enough chili for you!" Austin said, trying to calm Dez down.
Dez nodded his head but still stuck his head back into the bowl of chili in front of him.
"I can't believe Deuce is missing all this." Ty said as he grabbed a second fruit cake.
"I believe he chose Dina cause he want to have some alone time with her. You can't blame the man for wanting some time with his leading lady." Logan said, defending Deuce's Actions.
"I know, man! But it's just a pity that he didn't get to enjoy any of this good food." Ty said.
"Don't worry about him, Ty! I think he is having a great time now!" Austin suddenly said, eyes looking over Ty and Logan's shoulder.
The two of them turned and saw Deuce Dina feeding a slice of fruit to Dina, while Dina held up a cup of fruit juice to Deuce. The two of them looked like they were in another dimension, enjoying their date as though they were the only two people at the Summer Festival.
"Haha! Now I know why they decide to wonder off alone. May be they intent to have a date here, in the first place?" Logan said as the two love birds disappeared out of sight.
Ty signed, "Let's just leave them alone."
"What's wrong, Ty?" Austin asked, concerned.
"Nothing! Sometimes, I am just envy of Deuce for having someone so special to him." Ty looked at Logan, "Even Logan also has little red. I am starting to have the urge to settle with one girl."
"Ty, everyone will have someone special for them. It's a matter of time. Just like me and Ally. To be honest, we know we both have feelings for each other. We love each other but at the moment, we both know this is not the right timing to be together." Austin said, trying to cheer Ty up.
"Zam! I knew it! I knew there is something between you and Ally." Logan accused.
"Logan! Not now!" Austin warned.
"Opps, sorry!" Logan apologized, "I agree with Austin. Ty, you and I both knew that Cece and I went through a very rough start before being together but that does not stop us from finding the right person. We, too, did not meet at the right time but with the right person, we manage to overcome all the differences and obstacles. Look where we end up now. We end up together in loved and very happy with each other."
Logan words really lit up Ty's mood.
'Ya, Logan's right! Not everyone gets to meet the right person when they are young. But if they are willing to believe in themselves and willing to look harder, they will all eventually meet the right person.' Ty thought to himself.
"You guys are right! I have to believe in myself. I feel much better now. Thanks, man!" Ty said, smiling.
Dez suddenly ran over to them from the other side of the festival with a tray of ice-cream.
"Guys! Guys! You have to try this bomboy ice cream, it's delicious." Dez said while passing a small cup of ice cream to each of them.
"WOW!" Ty blurted.
"ZAM!" Logan uttered.
"WHOA!" Austin gasped.
Dez nodded his head a few times, "Right?"
The three of them jumped up suddenly, running towards the vendor Dez stood just now to take more.
At Mango Café:
When Austin, Ty and Logan enter the café, they notice the girls laughing and talking by the corner of the café. After signaling to the waitress they are with the girls, they moved towards them.
"Hey girls!" Austin greeted as he took a sit beside Ally.
"Hi guys!" the girls greeted together.
Logan sat down beside Cece before giving her a little squeeze to greet her as Ty took a sit beside Logan.
"Where are Trish and Dez?" Ally asked.
"Trish went off alone after we went into the vendor booth area so Dez offered to look for her." Austin replied.
"Did you girls saw Deuce and Dina?" Ty asked.
"We did. We saw them by the cherry tree, feeding each other cherries." Cece teased.
"Zam! You girls serious?" Logan asked.
The four of them nodded their head, laughing with their hand over their mouth as the thought of mushy Deuce and mushy Dina appeared in their mind again..
"We really did saw them. They are quite mushy. We were so shaken that we all rubbed our eyes to make sure that is the Deuce and Dina we know." Rocky said, to assure them again.
"We saw them by the vendor booth too. They were sharing a pack of fruits and a cup of fruit juice. They looked as though they were in the only two people in the festival." Logan said.
The four of them exchange astonished facial expression and slowly their mouth start to tremble into a grin and together the seven of them burst into laughter.
Seating Plan: *Note - Not all of them are in the café yet
