Konichiwa ( bowing)! Yumetsuki Mizuka desu! Watashi no hanashi wo yonde itadaki arigatō gozaimasu (thank you for reading my story). I'm so sorry for not writing for so long, I really do apologize. Sorry ! Sorry ! Sorry ! I'm so glad that one of my favourite writers has reviewed my story. Thank you so much TinaChii for you support. So I thought you maybe felt like missing an episode so I'm going to do a little flashback about how Rizumu has told Hibiki about Aira's feelings, so there it is. Enjoy ! :D
Chapter 3 : What a flashback…
-Nee, Hibiki! Where are we going? Rizumu asked.
-Wherever you want, Hibiki replied with a smile.
-I want to see that river on Mibuyashi's neighborhood, then, Rizumu said.
They continued walking, hands in hands until they arrived at Mibuyashi's river. They found there some restaurants all along the shore. Rizumu pulled Hibiki in a little café saying she wanted to drink something. Hibiki followed her, laughing at Rizumu's growing enthusiasm. They were having a great time together while drinking their juices. Rizumu was talking about Shou's designs and what she would like to wear on her Prism Show with Aira and Mion.
-That would be perfect if I had a pair of blue shorts along. And Aira would have a pink skirt instead, cuz, you know, she likes girly stuff. For Mion, the best would be a red or purple dress. Do you think Shou could make all the Prism Stones ?
-Shou can make everything you want. He's always trying to impress Aira.
-Yes. Aira really likes Shou's designs.
-Talking about them, do you think Aira likes Shou ? Hibiki asked.
-I can't tell you that! Rizumu said.
-Oh please! Tell me! Hibiki said having his puppy dog eyes.
Rizumu just couldn't resist. He was so cute looking like this.
-Okay, then. But you have to keep the secret.
-No problem.
-Aira has got a diary. She wrote in it that she likes Shou's designs, but she thinks there's more than this. Actually, she wrote she's in love with him, Rizumu said.
-I never thought Aira has got a diary!
-No one knows about it. I was sleeping at Aira's someday, and I found it.
They talked a bit more and got out of the café and got back to Pretty Top.
Next day in the morning, Rizumu was walking along the corridor leading to her practice room when she heard someone say her name. It was a chat between two people. She poked her head through the half-open door. Aira and Mion saw Rizumu spying on someone so they wanted to spy too. Rizumu didn't notice the girls behind her, she was focusing on the boys's talk.
-Rizumu told me about her. She said she liked your designs.
-Did she told her about it?
-No! She has read it on her diary.
-I didn't knew Aira has got a diary …
-Trust me, she has. And that's not all, Rizumu told me that Aira i-
-Hibiki! Rizumu yelled. I told you it was a secret!
Hibiki turned his head towards Rizumu but he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at Aira.
He took his head into both of his hands while swearing he would never tell a secret ever again.
Rizumu turned her head to see who was behind her.
-Aira …
Rizumu took Aira's hands in hers. Aira slapped them away. She was blushing hard. Rizumu put a hand on Aira's forehead.
-Aira has got a fever, Rizumu said.
-How could you do this to me?! Aira whispered.
-I'm so sorry Aira … Please forgive me … Rizumu said while crying.
-I'm sorry, me too, but, I'm not sure I can … Aira said while turning around and getting back to the ice rink.
Few days later, Rizumu was practicing in the practice room with Hibiki. It's been a long time she didn't practice with Aira and Mion. Aira wasn't mean to Rizumu, she just couldn't forgive her. Rizumu became really sad and less energetic. She really missed her friends and couldn't jump anymore. She was feeling like sinking in her own sadness. Aira felt betrayed (poor Aira, she has always been the one betrayed), but, on the other side, she could understand why Rizumu did this. She knew that Rizumu just wanted to make her happy. She would've done the same for her, she also thought that Rizumu was a great friend. Aira can't hate Rizumu at all. That's not possible!
One day, Hibiki and Rizumu were practicing on the ice rink, Rizumu tried to jump, but it was a failure. Rizumu jumped again but she fell on the hard ice, getting hurt. Aira was passing by when she saw Rizumu falling down, she started running to help Rizumu. But Rizumu got up and fell in Hibiki's arms while crying and sniffing :
-Hibiki! Hibiki, help me! I'm feeling very lonely! I miss Aira so much! What should I do to make her forgive me? Tell me, what should I do?
Aira was really affected by Rizumu's thoughts.
-Nothing, Aira said.
-Huh! Rizumu said while turning around.
-I already forgave you. Actually, I forgave long ago, since you apologized. I've never been mad at you. And … I miss you … too, Rizumu-chan
-Aira!? Rizumu said in shock.
Then, Rizumu ran towards Aira and jumped in her arms while the two girls were having tears of joy.
-Aira!
-Rizumu-chan!
-Mion, you and I will be best friends forever! Rizumu said.
-You're right, Rizumu-chan.
*End of the flashback*
Aira opened her eyes and a tear rolled down her face.
*Best friendsforever?...What a joke !*
This was pretty boring, i know, but i don't want you to feel lost in the story so I did this chappy. And
I'm sorry again for not writing. Sorry for Mion's lovers too because she wasn't very present today. That's all, so, bye!
