Dancing with the STARISH

Cuteness in progress

-While the date was happening-
All was calm in the Master Course Dorms as everyone sleep peacefully in their dorms. Well, all except Natsuki, who was sitting in bed snuggling with his Piyo-chan stuff animal. He was too excited about his date with Mai tomorrow that he couldn't sleep. He looked over the edge of the bunk and found his sleeping roommate.

"Hey, Syo-chan..." He poked the shorter boy's cheek repeatedly till he woke up.

Syo let out a groan and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, "What do you want? It's..." He looks at the alarm clock on the nightstand, "One in the morning?!" There better be a good reason why he's up this early in the day.

" Well, I need some help... I don't know where to take Mai-chan..."Natsuki said and lets out a small sigh. How can you impress a girl that have for other boyfriends to spoil her?

Syo put his hands behind his head as he thought about it. It's part of his job to help Natsuki in his pursuit for the dancer. He's doing this for both himself and to help out his best friend. "Okay, she's a dancer, right? Then just take her to a dance hall."

"That would be a big error on his part," the two boys looked at the doorway and saw their senpai at the door. Ai returned from his observation on Ren and Mai's date and he was a bit tired from being out so late. When he heard his juniors' conversation and Syo giving Natsuki bad advice, he had to step in. "We all took her out dancing before. If he does the same things we did, what will make him different from the rest of us? " Ai said as he walked toward the door that leads to the bathroom with his folded pajamas in hand.

"Senpai's right," Natsuki said "If I want to impress her, I have to stand out by being myself ."

"Then take her to a place you like and hope that she likes it too," Syo said before pulling the blankets back over him. " Now go to sleep," after those words he went back to dreamland.

Natsuki had a soft smile on his face a when he thought of the perfect place for him to take her.

- Fast Forward to the date that was at 10 am-

"You picked a petting zoo?" Mai said as they stood in a pen with small fuzzy animals.

"Yes! Do you like it ?" Natsuki was holding a bunny in his arms when he faced her. He thought one of the best places that he liked was being around cute little things so why not show Mai part of his small world of cuteness?

The dancer stared at him with a blank face for a minute then she smiled widely, "I love it!" She knelt down and snuggled with a lamb, "How did you know I love cute creatures!"

Natsuki smiled back at her, "It was a lucky guess..." He was happy to know they shared something in common and that the date didn't start off as a total disaster.

-Hiding behind a tree -

"Okay understand why RanRan wanted to spy on his junior..." Reiji said while he clung onto a tree branch, "But why are we spying on Natsuki, Ai-Ai ?"

" I want to make sure that he comes up with positive results," Ai answered while not taking his eyes off the pair cuddling with the animals.

"So you're actually cheering for your junior to succeed..." Camus thought about it for a moment. "You might be the best senpai ever."

"Hey, I thought I was the best senpai!" Reiji slipped up and fell out of the tree, "Ow!"

"No, you're the laziest senpai I know," Ranmaru said with his arms crossed over his chest and his back against the tree. "You spoil your juniors with treats instead of teaching them something."

"Well, at least I don't keep them on a tight schedule or hit them with a fancy stick!" The eldest idol argued.

"Keep it quiet you fool, If Saymi finds out we are spying on them, then we will all be in trouble," Camus said.

" Too late she spotted us," Ai said.

~With Mai and Natsuki ~

The two were knelt down, admiring a fawn and they were having a nice moment when they touched hands. Mai looked up and saw his sweet green eyes staring right back at her. "Natsuki...."

The blonde tried thinking of something romantic to say. "Dear Mai, let lips do what hands do..." He mentally high-fived himself for remembering that line from Shakespeare.

Mai blushed lightly, " Okay.... " they both lowered their eyelids as they leaned in but Mai stopped when she heard a familiar voice yell out. 'What the hell?' She thought then looked behind her date to find all four of her lovers standing behind a tree and some tall bushes. "I can't believe this..." She stood up and dust her pants off, "Those knuckleheads are watching us."

Natsuki stood up and turned around to see what she sees, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"Not with all of them here at once," she took his hand and left the petting zoo. "Let's go to the gift shop." Once they arrived at the souvenir shop they saw a claw machine that had the cute panda bear stuff animal inside.
"Aww..."

"Do you want it?" He asked her.

Mai nodded her head not taking her eyes off the toy, "I do but I stink at claw machines."

"You just need a little help," Natsuki put the quarter in the machine and moved her in front of him before wrapping his arms around her. "We'll do it together..."

-With QN-

"Awww they are sooo adorable! " Reiji said from behind a shelf of stuff animals. The older group watched the couple work together to win the panda stuff animal.

"I didn't know Mai was into cute stuff," Ranmaru said, "She was always so..."

"Tough on us when she wishes to be," Camus finished the sentence.

Ai observed the way Natsuki guided Mai's hands over the controls, " We should go." From what he saw, his junior doesn't need his help.

" Aw fine..." Reiji said then something caught his eye. " Ooo I always wanted one of these !" Reiji ran to a barrel full of small super bouncy balls. " I wonder if they really do bounce super high!" He picked up a green ball threw it hard on the ground. The ball bounced but it hit the ceiling in the process then it bounce off the check out counter and began moving all around the room at a fast pace.

"Reiji, why the hell would you use it inside?!" Ranmaru yelled at him while ducking his head to keep from getting hit.

" I didn't know it was going to do this!" Reiji said as he took cover.

"Idiot! " Camu yelled as he used a large stuff animal for a shield.

The little green ball bounced all over till eventually, it was heading for the back of Natsuki's head. Everything happened in slow motion. The toy that was in the claw dropped into the pickup box. Natsuki was jerked forward when the ball hit his head and a pair of glasses landed on the tile floor.

AN: Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for the super long delay. A lot of stuff was happening and there's this guy that dropped in my life and Aaah! I'll try to get the ball rolling again.
