The 3rd Meets the Five (Quintessential Quintuplets Story)

Chapter 13

Third POV

[I'm at school looking for Miku. This will be very simple. All I have to do is ask a girl to go to a party with me. How hard is that do? It's very simple. I walk into school and immediately see her. I walk straight over]

Third: Hey, Miku.

Miku: Hey.

[I guess I should start with small talk]

Third: Nice day isn't it?

Miku: It's raining.

[I look outside and sure enough it's raining. I've already failed the first impression. How does Second do this all the time? Just act like Second but don't be a douche. This won't be hard]

Third: Listen, there is something I want to ask you...

Miku: Is it about the party for entrepreneurs?

Third: What!

[How did she know about that? I didn't tell her!]

Miku POV

[What am I doing? I was supposed to act surprised! I'm totally blowing this! I mean, we just found out about this. I really want him to ask me but what I just said might have blown my chances. All of us are after this. But what chance do I have? I'm not a party girl like Nino. All I would do is stand awkwardly. Parties have lots of people and I'm not a people person. I will not lose. I can do this for Third. The lines of war were drawn yesterday]

[Flashback]

[Our father decided to give us a call. Futaro told him about Third and how we all wanted to go to the dance with him but we had to get our grades up first. Our father mentioned the party and everything exploded into a war]

Nino: If he's going to a party with anyone it's me. I'm the party girl!

Yotsuba: Don't count me out! I'm lots of fun.

Itsuki: You're both immature. He would prefer a proper lady instead.

Ichika: We don't even know what type of party this is. Besides, if anyone is mature it's me.

[Father]: Listen, girls. Going to the party with Third would be a great thing for our family. So I suggest you all decide it will be. It's not hard.

[Flashback end]

[Our father hang up shortly after that. "It's not hard"? It sure is! I guess I could be like Yotsuba and go with the straight forward approach]

Third: Well, it is about the party. I was wondering if...

[Before he could finish his sentence, my biggest rival appeared]

Nino: Oh, Miku! There you are! I've been looking for you.

Miku: I'll be with you in a second. Third was about to ask me something.

Nino POV

[He was just about to ask her to the party wasn't he? Well, I can't allow that. I'm the fun one. I deserve to go. This battle will not only be us fighting each other but also convincing the others. I can easily do this. I know how to get what I want. And I what I want is my hero]

Nino: No, Miku, this is very important. Let's go.

[I grab her by the arm and pull her away before Third can say anything else. A few steps away she turns towards me with anger in her eyes]

Miku: What were you doing? You were being a bad sport! He obviously was going to ask me! You lost! Get over it!

[I'm a little taken back. Miku usually doesn't act this way but that won't stop me]
