PriPara: Breakthrough

Happy Birthday, Goddess. Love, Weirdo

*April 11th, 12 AM*

(Maiko's Room)

The alarm clock rang.

"Huh.... why did the clock ring so early...?"

She rubbed her eyes and turned off the alarm.

"12 A.M..."

She then looked at the calendar.

"It's April 11th..."

"HEY HEY HEY!"

"Guess what it is today!"

(Kazue's Room)

His phone alarm rang at 12 A.M.

"April 11..."

"Wait..."

*Screen reads: Goddess's Birthday😚😚😚*

Even his wallpaper was Maiko's photo... what a weirdo.*

Maiko: It's...
Kazue: It's...

*Simultaneously, they both say*

Maiko: My Birthday!
Kazue: Her Birthday!

"OMGOMGOMG Definitely have to text her." He said to himself.

Kazue started speed-typing.

"Heya Mai-Mai, Happy Birthday, maybe we could celebrate in the café you like so much. It's near my place
😉😉" He sent.

(Maiko POV)

Maiko had already recieved the message Kazue sent.

"Hah. Weird. Emoji overload." Maiko laughed as she started texting him back.

Maiko: Isn't it too early to send a message? But thanks for the greeting, Kazue. Don't call me Mai-Mai though. And srsly, Take Café? Maybe...

Kazue was happy she replied. "She's going with the flow! Awesome! And she said maybe, good enough!" He thought.

Kazue: It's better than forgetting. 😊 What if I don't want to not call you that, Mai-Mai-chan?

Maiko laughed at the message.

Maiko: Better get to sleep. Still have class, you know?

Kazue sighed as he texted.

Kazue: Okay. Sweet Dreams, ya' Dancing Queen. Good Morning. Lololol

Just as Kazue was going to bed, he started thinking, "How long will I have to fight this feeling?"

He put a hand in his chest.

"My heart's beating so fast..."

He lay down to sleep, and put down his phone, which still showed Maiko's picture as his background.

"I... love you..." He mumbled as his eyes closed.

(That Morning in School...)

Maiko had her headphones on and was dancing around Paprika Private Academy.

"Yeaaaahhh, oh yeah yeah!" She grooved to the beat without a care.

"Wow... I sure did have the best sleep in my entire life." Kazue said to himself.

"Yeah, yeah, uh, let's dance!" Maiko was saying while dancing.

Kazue was walking to the classroom until...

"Ow!"
"Ouch!"

The two bumped into and accidentally toppled into each other.

Kazue was holding on to Maiko's shoulders for support, and he was blushing.
