Sakurai Story Time #6: Worst Make Up Attempt Ever!

Kanade and Yukino: IT'S THE SAKURAI TWINS' STORY TIME CORNER!

Yukino: (giggles)

Kanade: What's so funny?

Yukino: (continues giggling)

Kanade: Yuki-chan, are you listening? Why are you staring at your phone, laughing?

Yukino: (holds out her phone) Y-you're so funny, Kana-chan!

Kanade: WAH! Wh-wh-why do you still have that that!? I look ridiculous!

Yukino: I decided to keep it after our middle school days. You know, the silly make up incident~?

Kanade: I know what it was, but why did you take that!? That was SO embarrassing!

Yukino: (hits her palm) I know! This can be another one of our stories we can tell~!

Kanade: No! We are NOT telling that story!

Yukino: Kana-chan, why don't you do the honors since you were the one who did it in the first place~

Kanade: No, I refuse!

Yukino: (sniffles) Y-you won't? Not even for me...?

Kanade: There's no way I'm falling for that again...

Yukino: (sobs) Waaaaahhhh! Why, Kana-chan!? Why are you such a meanie!?

Kanade: (sighs heavily) Alright, alright! I'll do it!

Yukino: Yaaay~! Kana-chan loves me again!

Kanade: Geez, you're hopeless. (clears throat) Back in the day, when Yuki-chan and I were still in middle school, there were beautiful girls around the school. I can't remember how many, but there were lots. I heard from this one girl that putting on fine make up makes you very attractive. So, then, while I still had feelings for Yuki-chan, an idea came to mind. Like maybe if I put on make up, Yuki-chan will pay more attention to me. And maybe fall in love with me. Now, honestly, I thought it was a really good idea. Until I learned it the hard way.

Yukino: (laughs)

Kanade: Stop laughing! I'm not on that part yet!

Yukino: But this picture, Kana-chan...

Kanade: (snatches her phone away) Give me that!

Yukino: Heeeeey!

Kanade: As I was saying, I thought putting on fine make up would be easy. Turned out it wasn't. I snuck some of Mom's make up into our bathroom, like eye-liner, eyelashes, lip-stick and such. I thought those would be perfect for being beautiful. So I take some of the make up, put it on my face, making sure that I look as beautiful as I could, just for Yuki-chan to like me. Once I was finished, I took a look at myself in the mirror. And I cannot BELIEVE what I just did! I realized...that I put on too much make up, making me look like a clown.

I was too embarrassed to look at myself anymore, so I turned around to run, but Yuki-chan just so happened to appear out of nowhere! She took a look at me and bust out laughing! She was like, "You look so funny, Kana-chan! Like an adorable looking clown!"

It had made me even more embarrassed, much to the fact that if Mom finds out about this, I'd be in deep trouble. I covered Yuki-chan's mouth whispering, "Please, please, PLEASE don't tell anyone about this!"

When I pulled away, Yuki-chan was still laughing and before I could speak, she immediately held up her phone and took a picture of me!

She showed me the picture with a grin on her face and was like, "Don't worry, Kana-chan. Your secret is safe with me~"

I don't know what she was planning, but to me, that grin told me that she was up to something, so I tried to chase her down, demanding for an explanation. But Yuki-chan was just too fast and unfortunately, I ran into Mom. She was apparently looking for the make up I stole because she was getting ready for an important meeting.

Many lies ran through my head, but just as I was about to tell her, Shi-chan comes out with her make up materials in her hands. The only word that swirled in my head was, "Busted..."

Mom was very upset when she found out that I stole the make-up and demanded for an explanation. I told her that I was desperate to look as pretty as the other girls because they looked attractive, so I wanted to be like those girls. Mom then understood my predicament and told me that I didn't have to work this hard to change how I look and that she loves me just the way I am and so does the rest of the family. By that, she meant Yuki-chan, too.

I had learned a very valuable lesson that day. Trying to change how you look to impress someone may not turn out as well as you want it to be. Being yourself is the best solution.

Yukino: That's right~! (hugs Kanade) I love Kana-chan just the way she is~! But she still looked adorable as a clown~

Kanade: Stop it! Stop it! How many times do I have to tell y- Hey! Give that phone back!

Yukino: Don't wanna~

Kanade: (points her finger at her) You BETTER delete that picture!

Yukino: (snickers with a sly grin on her face) Hmmm...should I...or should I not~?

*PINCH*

Yukino: OW, OW, OW, OW, OW! Have mercy on me, please!

Kanade: Don't wanna~
