Rui's POV, Dialogue.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Today is the day.

The day of the 'Wondershow.'

I'm a bit nervous myself. You know, going up on stage and all that. Nene forced me into this mess, and now, there's no backing out now. I can do this.

As long as Tsukasa-kun is right by my side, I'll be able to do so.

Zzz...

"Rui... get your lousy ass up right now."

It was Nene. She grabbed the pillow under my head and threw it right at me.

"Nene... why do you always have to wake me up from my slumber?! Can't a man just get his rest for once" I groaned, and tumbled onto my stomach. Nene rolled her eyes and slapped my back.

"Stop lying on your stomach. It isn't good." Nene took my arm and sat me up. "I'm stronger than you think. Now c'mon, we need to eat quickly and prepare for the show!"

I stretched out my arms and legs briefly, and then cracked my back. Nene stared at me like I was some sort of alien.

Nene squinted her eyes. "Your arms and legs are so long." she muttered. I burst into laughter.

"What? Are you jealous?" I teased.

Nene's eyes widened in rage. "How dare you assume something like that! I'm comfortable and happy with my short legs."

I chuckled. "You just admitted that you have short legs."

Nene got a bit flustered. "O-Oh you dumbass! Let's get to the dining hall, now!"

I nodded my head yes.

Ah, this reminds me of the old days. I remember when Nene used to be the sweetest, most shyest little girl. She hasn't changed that much now; but I still see her as innocent and adorable as she was back then.

W-What?! Not in that way, no!

Dining hall.

"So you guys are finally awake." Toya carefully set down some empty plates and approached me and Nene. "Are you excited for the show?"

"I'm not a child. So don't treat me like one." Nene forced herself to walk past Toya, gently brushing his shoulder with her flowing hair.

"What's up with her? Is she feeling okay?" Toya looked concerned.

I shook my head. "She seemed a little pissed this morning. Something's up, and I know it."

Toya sighed. "Why don't you go talk to her the-"

He got interrupted as Akito swung his hands from behind him around his shoulders, giving him a big hug. "Good morning Toya! Did you have a nice rest?"

"A-Akito?! Please don't do that..." Toya gently pushed Akito off of him. "Remind me again... why are you still here?"
