The Alice Festival Pt. 3

It was the third day of the Alice Festival. Or the fourth? Shinsou doesn't know, he lost track. He was with Mikan, unsurprisingly. And then, he heard something very interesting.

"The Alice Festival is ending soon," Mikan said, "Today's the day for the Somatic's class performance!"

"Yes, Mikan, I'm well-informed," Shinsou replied as he, Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko, Iinchou, and Mikan walked through the hallways.

Ruka, who was in front of them, abruptly turned around, saying, "Don't go."

Anna, Nonoko, and, of course, Mikan stared in a dazed shock. Hotaru seemed as unaffected as always. Shinsou couldn't say he was surprised, Ruka does get embarrassed easily. Ruka did continue with a, "I'm serious! Don't go, okay?" Everyone in their tiny squad merely nodded in response.

They kept following Ruka, which had Shinsou wondering if it was a good idea. "I mean it, don't come!" The group nodded once again in reply, although, some giggled. Eventually, Ruka left, leaving them to roam the halls in search of the actor breakroom. A few people joined them on the way, one of them being Kokoroyomi.

He and Kokoroyomi were actually pretty good friends. Whenever he wasn't with Mikan, he was with Kokoroyomi.

"There it is!" Mikan chirped. Anna and Mikan peeked into the room. "Look! The outfits are so pretty!"

"That person must be playing princess!"

Shinsou also peeked through the door, "Oh, probably."

"Hey, hey, can we ask a question?"

"Do you know when Ruka is?" Kokoroyomi asked.

The person who was getting their makeup done was pretty stunned at the question. Shinsou watched as they jumped a bit before replying. "N...not here..."

Hotaru appeared beside the person ( which had Shinsou wondering how did she get there?) and blew into their ear. The person, ( that Shinsou recognized as Ruka now-) jumped up, clearly surprised.

"Ruka-pyon??" Mikan exclaimed, " You're playing Snow White??"

Everyone else was equally shocked.

Ruka looked pretty pissed, "I told you not to come, didn't I???"

These are kids, you really think they'll listen? Shinsou found himself thinking. From the corner of his eye, he saw Kokoroyomi nod in agreement.

The girls, however, totally ignored him as Mikan complimented ( Or Shinsou thought it was supposed to be a compliment-) Ruka, "You look so cute! Like a real girl!"

Anna nodded in agreement, "You're so pretty! I can't take my eyes off you!"

Ruka frowned, "I told you not to come!"

Yeah, you've repeated that for a while now, "But we wanted to," Shinsou shrugged.

"Yeah! You're our friend, Ruka-pyon!" Mikan said.

A flash of light came from Ruka's left. And, of course, it was Hotaru. Ruka stared at her, "Don't take pictures!" Hotaru, being Hotaru, continued.

Narumi appeared from behind them, causing Shinsou to glance at him, "Oh, I was wondering what all the commotion was. Turns out it was just you guys."

Everyone turned to look at him. Kokoroyomi looked up innocently at Narumi, "Oh, we were just telling the actors to break a leg!"

Because we totally didn't come for just Ruka, The group quickly nodded in agreement. Kokoroyomi had something and handed it to Narumi, "Also, this is for you."
