'Hey, Zessica-san. My brother gave me 4 tickets to the carnival that he won, do you wanna go with me?' asked Mikono cheerfully.
'Sure, when are you planning to go?' asked Zessica.
'Let's see…it says that the carnival ends this week. Hmm, how about the next day?' replied Mikono.
'Cool, so who else are you gonna invite. I mean you have got 4 tickets don't you?' asked Zessica casually.
'Well…I was thinking of inviting the girls…' began Mikono.
'Hey, why don't you invite Amata?' Zessica suddenly cut off Mikono.
'I don't know…Amata-kun might have other plans,' answered Mikono.
'C'mon, Mikono. That guy travelled through a dimension to save you. I'm sure he wouldn't say 'No' if you asked him. Besides, aren't you in love with him?' asked Zessica playfully.
'Zessica-san!' exclaimed Mikono. The blush on her face as red as a ripe tomato.
'Just kidding. Do ask him will you, he'll like it,' said Zessica.
'O...ok, that leaves just one more ticket. Anyone in mind Zessica-san?' asked Mikono.
'Hmm…na, not really. Besides, its your tickets. You get to decide who to bring,' replied Zessica thoughtfully.
'I know, how about Kagura-san? It could also be like a bonding session for him and Amata-kun!' said Mikono excitedly.
'I know you mean well Mikono. But, please don't make it sound so gay,' said Zessica making a face.
'Huh? What do you mean Zessica-san?' asked Mikono innocently.
'Oh Mikono, there are some thing that you will never get. Fine, I'll help you ask that bastard,' said Zessica with a mischievous smile on her face.
'Thank you, Zessica-san. I think I'll go to sleep now,' Mikono yawned while handing Zessica 2 tickets.
'Sure Mikono, anything for you. Good night,' Zessica said as she tucked herself into bed too.
The next day went pretty slowly. In fact, thing have been slower ever since they stopped the abductors and save the world.
'Man, its so boring. I wish an abductor would appear,' said Andy lazily over Ms. Suomi's lecture in class.
'Andy, how could you think of such a selfish wish?!' snapped Mix.
'Woah, calm down there. I was just joking,' replied Andy hastily in fear of angering Mix.
Unbeknownst to them, Zessica was staring at them the whole time.
'Oh, young love,' she sighed as she looked at the bickering duo.
'Oh, I almost forgot to ask Kagura about the carnival,' Zessica said to herself.
'Ring Ring' 'Ring Ring' sounded the bell that said that it was the end of all classes that day.
'Alright class. Don't forget to do your assignments and hand them in on time. Class dismissed.' Said Ms. Suomi.
In the flurry of students rushing out of the classroom. Zessica found the person she was looking for.
'Oi, Kagura.' Said Zessica catching the attention of the red-haired teen.
'Oh, it's just you, bitch. What do you want?' asked Kagura.
'I was wondering if you wanted to go to the carnival with me and Mikono,' asked Zessica, conveniently forgetting to mention that Amata was also invited.
'Why ask me?' asked Kagura bluntly. Didn't they have Amata?
'C'mon, it'll be fun. Besides, you haven't seen much of Neo-Kowloon, why not start now?' reasoned Zessica.
'Fine, when is it?' asked Kagura giving up on finding out what Zessica was plotting.
'A promise is a promise, see you there!' said Zessica with a wink and hurriedly left the classroom like the other students.
'Huh, Vegans are weird aren't they, Izumo?' muttered Kagura to himself.
Meanwhile, a certain purple-haired girl was mustering up all the courage she had to ask her 'Amata-kun' to go to the carnival with her.
'So, why did you call me out here, Mikono-san?' asked Amata nervously, sensing that she was quite tense and jumpy.
'Amata-kun, wou…would you like to co...come to the carnival with me and Zessica-san tomorrow?' asked Mikono, the heat rising up to her cheeks.
'Is Mikono-san asking me out? But then, Zessica-san is coming also. Hmm…maybe she likes it three people… Wait! What am I thinking about!' thought Amata to himself for quite a while.
'Uhh…sure Mikono-san,' said Amata breaking the awkward silence between them.
'Re…really?!' asked Mikono.
'Amata, are you coming or what? You can't keep a man away from food!' a voice suddenly called to him.
'Coming, Andy! See you tomorrow then, Mikono-san' said Amata smiling.
'Yo…you too, Amata-kun,' said Mikono shyly.
Later, that night the boy were gathered around talking about their plans for the weekend.
'How about it, Amata? Wanna hit the arcade tomorrow? I found a new place with all of the latest games!' asked an excited Andy.
'Sorry Andy. I'm going to the carnival with Mikono-san and Zessica-san tomorrow,' replied Amata.
'Woah, Amata you lucky bastard! The 2 of the hottest babes in our year asked you out man. You have my utmost respect,' said Andy faking a salute and the seriousness in his voice.
'Cut it out Andy, it's not like that. It just so happens that Cayenne gave Mikono-san a few tickets to the carnival. It's not a date or anything,' said Amata matter-of-factly.
'Sure, sure whatever you say. How about you, Kagura. Wanna hit the arcade?' asked Andy.
'No, I have plans tomorrow,' replied Kagura, leaving out what his 'plans' were.
'What, you too? Is is also like some insane double date like Amata's?' Andy facepalmed.
'You bet your ass it is,' thought Kagura to himself. However he remained his calm composure.
'No, you idiot. Mind your own business,' snarled Kagura.
'Hey, I was just trying to be friendly,' said Andy.
'Well stop trying,' was Kagura's smart reply.
'Why you!' said Andy raising his fists at Kagura.
'Wanna go at it, loser?' insulted Kagura.
'Calm down guys,' said Amata breaking up their little squabble.
'But, he started…' Andy started.
'It's ok Andy, how about I go to the arcades with you the next day?' said Amata who was trying to resolve the situations without a few loose jaws or two.
'Really? You're the best man!' said Andy.
'Hehehe…sure Andy,' said Amata awkwardly. Inwardly relieved that no one got hurt.
'Well, it's late. I'm gonna go catch some Z's. Night guys,' said Andy as he walked into the bedroom.
That night, everyone was sleeping soundly. Except for Kagura.
'Mikono-san,' Amata said dreamily through his sleep, drool slipping down his mouth.
'Idiot,' muttered Kagura under his breath.
However, it wasn't Amata's sleep talking that kept him awake.
"Damn, I should have known something was off when that bitch asked me to go to the carnival with them. I didn't know that wimp Amata was going with them also. Shit, this is gonna be so awkward,' thought Kagura to himself for himself as he also slowly drifted off to sleep.
