First off, important announcement.
Happy 2 year Anniversary, guys. ❤ It's officially been two years since we first founded Team MORT. Honestly, it already feels like we've known each other for years. I hope that we'll always be super close like this. Like sisters.
My weekend date with Gummybear was amazing, I had such a good time. He lives in this giant manor that he told me has been in his family for generations. He said his dad lives there too, but he was working so I didn't see him. I did get to see a picture of his mom, though. It was framed and sitting on the mantle above the fireplace. She was very beautiful- it's obvious where he gets his looks from, long black hair, gray-blue eyes, pale skin, gentle expression.
So anyways- on to the details of our date! I really didn't know what we were going to do, so I dressed fairly casually- I wore my cream-colored, one-piece dress with the frilly sleeves and skirt, my initial "O" necklace (to keep a piece of you guys with me!), and the cherry lip gloss Momo gave me last year for my birthday. Oh, and I just braided my hair into two regular braids.
So anyways, when I got there, Gummybear asked me if I was okay with home cooking- which of course I was! So then he said he was planning to make pizza, and that if I wanted to make it with him, it would be really great. Well, you guys know how obsessed I am with baking, so I decided to, even though I've never made pizza before.
There were tons of ingredients to use- tomato sauce, sliced bell pepper, olives, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, barbequed chicken, and like five different types of cheeses. So we each made a pizza for ourselves- mine had all the toppings and all the cheeses, while his just had olives and bell pepper. He was turning on the ovens (yes, plural- his house has four ovens! FOUR! It's heaven!) And I remembered how in movies and tv and stuff, professionals always toss their pizza in the air you know? So I decided to do that.
And, well, ... this is what happened.
Me: Umm.. gummybear?
GB: Yes Inoue-san?
Me: You know how professional pizza makers toss their pizza in the air on tv and stuff?
GB: Yes, I think I've seen that before...
Me: Well... I did that and... um.. It never came back down.
GB: What do you mean, Inoue-san-?
And then he looked up, at the kitchen ceiling. Which is pretty high up, okay, his kitchen had a vaulted ceiling.
And there was my pizza stuck to the roof.
GB: ...Oh. Oh, I see..
I was sooo scared he was going to be mad! But instead, he just stared at it for a moment before he started laughing. And then he said, "You're a delight, Inoue-san." and added some extra toppings to half his pizza and said, "We can split mine. It's okay, don't worry about it."
Well I don't know how he got it off the ceiling, but while we waited for the pizza to cook, we sat in his living room and watched a movie together- and let me say, the flatscreen in his living room could make it into a tiny movie theater. He dimmed the lights, too, so the effect was really theater-like.
We ate pizza together, we talked a lot about personal life (he talked a lot about his mom, and then I ended up telling him about Sora, and about how I met all of you guys). Then he talked about how he and Shortcake became friends ("unfortunately").
At the end of it all, he drove me home, and walked me all the way to the door of my apartment. And right before I went inside, he said, "Goodnight, Inoue-san." and he KISSED ME!
KISSED! ME!
I just about died. That was on Saturday. Now its Monday. I still feel like I'm floating. I can barely concentrate on what Sensei is saying.

Ah yes, happy 2 year anniversary guys. :) Thanks for being the best friends a girl could ever ask for.
First, I'm so glad to hear your date went well Orihime! When you think about it, you and Gummybear DO have so much in common- you both are very intelligent, you both are beautiful and have tons of fans at school, you both like working with your hands (especially sewing/needlework), you both are slightly dorky (and we love you for that!)
Second.. I've found out why Nii-sama has been acting so strange for the past few days. Few weeks. And that is..
Hisana-nee is pregnant. Yes. I, Kuchiki Rukia, am going to be an aunt. In less than 6 months.
I suppose it's my fault for not realizing it sooner- what with Nii-sama constantly fluttering around her, pulling out her chair, feeding her with his spoon, asking her to "go and rest for a while", asking her how she's feeling in general like every single day- but like I've said before, he has always been rather of attentive of Hisana-nee, so I barely noticed that it had become even more often.
So yeah. I'm going to have a little neice of nephew in 6 months. Hisana-nee told me they've even decided on names already. If its a girl, they're naming her Sakura. If it's a boy, Sojun, after Nii-sama's father.
Isn't that so weird? I find it almost hilarious how the news of a baby has gotten Nii-sama into acting so.. friendly? This is why he's been in such a good mood lately. Ahh, really.
Finally, before you guys ask, no I haven't talked to Shortcake. At least, not since that little facebook exchange on Friday. I passed by him in the hallway today. It's strange passing by each other and not saying a single word- a sinking feeling. I'm beginning to think that perhaps I was right. Maybe we really don't have anything left to say to each other.
Also, I got the part guys. I checked the bulletin board as soon as I got to school.

It's been really weird being around Shortcake lately. He doesn't hang out much, usually its just been him and Sado. I guess because Sado won't hound him about you, Rukia. I was talking to Renji about it, too, and he said that the last time he told Shortcake to "man up and apologize" Shortcake told him to just stay out of his business. He said that Shortcake's been pretty much silent about it since then. Apparently Asano asked him if he was lonely, and he replied with "Like hell I'd be."
He's such a goddamn liar. I saw his face. You two need to stop avoiding each other, Rukia. I know it's gotten a bit messy since he said those things to you and then kissed you all of a sudden but the longer it drags out, the more difficult it will be for you to approach him.
So then, Renji and I were just talking about the lastest Bad Shield movie that came out- he said he hadn't seen it yet. So I said that since I got it on dvd, I'd lend it to him. Then Asano butted in to comment, "You two should totally date!" I punched him.
Turn: Momo
Period: Physics with Kurotsuchi-sensei
You guys. This weekend was so exhausting. Sunday, to be specific. I had to babysit my neighbor's 4 year old twin sons while she and her husband went on a date. This is what happened.
Beautiful, sophisticated Momo sat in the kitchen, with both Hideki and Hotaru sitting at the table with her, eating chips with e-z cheese, IM-ing with her caring boyfriend Lemonade.
Suddenly, Hideki jumped from the table and ran away. Beautiful, sophisticated Momo cried, "Hideki, come back!" and ran to chase him, leaving Hotaru in the kitchen alone.
Beautiful, sophisticated Momo is an idiot.
"pssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I heard a weird noise coming from the kitchen. I picked up Hideki under my arm and went back the kitchen quickly. But it was too late.
Hotaru had sprayed cheese spray everywhere. It was all over the cabinets, walls, table, chairs, floor, even the light fixture. Where on earth did he get all that cheese spray from anyway?
I put them to sleep and spent the next hour and a half cleaning up the cheese explosion.
When I got home, I was so exhausted- the entire time, I had been texting Lemonade about my predicament, and told him that all I wanted to do was go home and order a pizza and rewatch the Princess Diaries.
So when I got home, guess what happened? I took a shower, and then I got a text from Lemonade.
L: Hey, doll. U said U wanted pizza rite?
M: Yes?
L: Check your front door
So when I went to open the door, guess what was sitting on the doorstep?
A pizza, and a rose.
I love him.
