me and kae were reading over our lines again after lunch was over, I'm still trying to remember if that scene with me and mutsumi was real or just a dream, just then nishina walked over
Nishina:" aki, sedinuma, would you like to look at the new chapter I've been working on?" she asked
aki:" sorry shima"
kae:" we would but we're short on time since we're working everyday after school" kae said
" you both work?" the others asked
" is there a reason why you both got jobs?" kae started rambling about our situation but no one understood what she was saying, so they all turned to me
aki:" basically we both spent our money on the anime and now we're both broke, lots of different events on katchu rambu that we don't want to miss, so we're trying to get enough for them" I simply answered
" oh"
nishina:" so where will you both be working?" nishina asked
Kae:" usami land!" kae brightly smiled
aki:" a flier said they were hiring part-time, we'll be working on the puri puri moon show! isn't that awesome?" i asked " I'll be playing ruby!"
kae:" and I'll be playing sapphire!" she said " and thats not all! aki's doing a public performance!!" Kae cheered
Nishina:" congratulations!!!" nishina bear hugged me
nana:" nice job!"
igarashi:" great!"
shinomiya:" wow!"
mutsumi:" can't wait" mutsumi smiled
aki:" i'm so nervous, I can't stop panicking" I couldn't stop fiddling with my fingers

igarashi:" I would like to work on the puri puri moon stage show please" he smiled " thats right, always watch the cartoon, I love it!" the man at the table chuckled
"who's your favourite?" he asked
igarashi:" thats easy, I think puri puri moon is awesome!"
" puri puri moon is the title of the show, why are you wasting my time, please go home" the man groaned
igarashi:"see, im an actor" the man understood that it was just an act
" oh, you have jokes, I think I have the perfect job for someone with your unique skill"
nana:" they hooked igarashi up with his own boat as the skipper of the amazon cruise
meaning: not in puri puri moon
Nishina:" the puri puri moon show please" she smiled " I can't work too often because of due dates, I draw, and comics don't make themselves, I also travel, not a lot of free time, id be an asset to the company" the man started sweat dropping
" i'm not so sure this will work out" he then had an idea " oh what, there is a place in the park were we need a new face:"
nana:" Nishina was assigned to the pretty boy butler café"
meaning: not in puri puri moon
shinomiya:" I've done some live theatre, id like to apply for the puri puri moon show, I'm more than happy to work back stage"
" your a star! I knew the perfect roll ever since I saw your sweet face!!" the man yelled

mutsumi:" such a nice show, uplifted and childs self-esteem" mutsumi smiled

everyone was taking a break and some were still rehearsing their lines, meanwhile, aki and me were sitting against the wall talking
aki:" that's cool, you know all the dances since your sisters a fan, that's awesome"

aki:" I totally agree, theres o much great content!" ' this is amazing, sedinuma, aki and I are are together, theres no on in our-' just then igarashi walked in
igarashi:" hey, mind if I walk you to sedinuma's?" ' nononono!'

nana:" well we've still got more to work on so beat it!" I snapped
igarashi:" nah I'll wait" he smiled
nana:" get out!" I growled
igarashi:" not a chance" ' igarashi always comes by to check up on us, he's such a pain!'
aki:" its okay igarashi, I think kae's finished so why don't you walk her home" aki smiled akwardly
igarashi:" what about you?" he asked ' oh no you don't!'
Nana:" don't worry" I put a hand on her shoulder " ill walk her back after practice" kae walked over
kae:" hey, whats going on?" she asked
nana:" nothing" I smiled
aki:" me and nana still have stuff to finish, il meet you at your house" aki explained
igarashi:" alright, lets go" both walked out
nana:" hey aki, is something wrong?" I asked
aki:" what do you mean?"
nana:" you were acting strange around igarashi, did something happen?"
aki:" n-no! everything perfectly fine, l-lets just get back to rehearse " she said, I noticed her face was red
later on
we walked out of usami land and started walking home, I dropped aki of at sedinuma's and started heading back to my place, when I got there I decided to take a quick shower, I was still mad at igarashi ' besides Im not doing anything wrong' I walked out of the shower dressed wearing the towel on my head, hen I got in my room, I saw my phone was on, I looked and saw it was a message from aki
' we're still meeting at the ticket gate right? see you then, :D' I smiled, I layed down on my bed ' I can't believe it, its happening! I'm getting closer to aki!!!'
next day
I got dressed and quickly headed downstairs to get my shoes, I can't believe I overslept! I got to the door and started putting on my shoes " you didn't eat breakfast! baba!" my sister walked out of the kitchen
nana:" no time I overslept" I then sneezed, I rubbed my nose
kirari " are you sick" she asked running up to me
nana:" nah, I fell asleep without drying my hair last night" I explained
kirari " wanna stay home?" she asked
nana:" ill be fine, see ya" I then walked out to practice

director:" go ahead and take your places, think of this as a real performance"
" okay" everyone said
" puri puri moon diamond!" the first girl said, doing her pose, each of the perfomers cheered their names and did their pose
aki:" ruby!"
kae:" I'm sapphire!"
" I'm emerald!"
" I'm alexandrite!" the final girl cheered
director" well, its your time to shine" he smiled at nana
nana:" right" he walked forward, still something wasn't right and he fell to the floor unconscious
aki:" nana!"
at nana's house
aki brought him home and put him to bed, then waited for him to wake up, when she looked over at him, she noticed his eye starting to open
aki:" oh thank god.." she sighed in relief
nana:" aki?....what happened" his voice croaked
aki:" you collapsed during practice, they asked me to take you home, everyone was so worried" she picked up the plastic bag and opened the door " just rest, im gonna stay a little longer just to make sure your okay, I cook you something to make you feel better" she then left the room
in the kitchen she was boiling spaghetti in a pot, also getting suspicious look from his little sister ' shes staring at me....' aki felt a deep chill
kirari:" are you trying to be baba's girlfriend?" she asked, if aki was drinking water, she would have spat it out
aki:" n-no, w-we're just friends, w-we work and go to school together" she stutter frailing her arms
kirari:" does that mean your gonna be in the puri puri moon stage show with him!? as who!?" she asked
aki:" urr, im gonna play ruby" she answered
kirari:" really!?! she's the best one!! after diamond" she had sparkles in her eyes " I like her but im not going to let you steal my brother, nope" she went back to protective sister
aki:" im sure nana loves you more"
kirari:" he does, when mommy and daddy aren't home he makes sure I'm taken care of, I gave him permission to put his job first while I take care of things around here, im not a little kid you know" she had both hands on her hips, then
aki:" I see" aki smiled
kirari:" I taught baba the puri puri moon steps, are you learning them? your gonna have to save the world!" she gleamed
aki:" don't worry I know the steps, and your right!" aki gave a thumbs up
kirari:" you can be friends but he's gonna marry me, got it" aki giggled
aki:" got it"
meanwhile in nana's room
nana' aki was in my bedroom..'
in his head
aki:" nana...I've never been in a boys bedroom before, its my first time" she smiled
nana:" glad your here, sorry bout the smell" she shook her head
aki:" it doesn't matter" she put a finger on her chin " besides, a small room brings us closer right? I hope so" she said, he tilted her head up
nana:" why don't we find out" their lips were inches apart
aki:" nana..."
back in reality
aki walked in holding a cray which had his food
aki:" hey, did I wake you?" she put the tray down " right, temperature" she was about to take the thermometer when....
at practice
igarashi came in to how things were going, he noticed nana and aki were gone and asked sedinuma
igarashi:" what? they left" he said surprised
kae:" nanashima wasn't feeling ell, so aki volunteered to take him home"
igarashi:" we went home with nana?"
back at nana's house
aki was about to check nana's temperature, when he grabbed her hand and pulled her down, pinning her on his bed
aki:" nana!? hmp!" his lips then crashed down upon hers, her eyes widened, he then pulled away
picture aki in kae's place
nana:" your cute.." he tried to nuzzle his head against hers but she used her hand to try and push him of " so hot..."
aki:" nana!? are you still asleep!?! let me go!?" he then pulled her close, she couldn't move her arms ' he wont let go!' " nana please!!! wake up!! stop!!!" just then his door burst open, revealing igarashi, he saw everything
igarashi:" NANA!" he punched him in the face " dude! are you out of your mind!?!?!" aki quickly got up, grabbed her coat and ran out " aki!" she ran out the door and started running, igarashi right behind her " wait!"
aki:" NOO!" she swat his hand away, then looked guilty " im sorry....but I cant" she then ran of, tears in her eyes, she ran all the way bac to kae's house, when she got there, she quickly rang the bell, she wait for a few seconds, the door opened revealing kae
kae:" aki? there you are, I was worri-" her eyes widened when she saw the tears " aki!? whats the matter!?" she just burst into tears, hugging kae " please tell me what happened!"
back at nana's house
Nana:" what!?! I did that to her!?!? really!?!" igarashi told him what he did after he discovered nana was in a daze, he quickly grabbed his phone " no! I got to apologise!!!" he started to text her, igarashi took the thermometer and saw it was still high
back at school aki;s desk was empty so igarashi and nana went to amane since they couldn't find sedinuma
amane:" aki has a cold, kae said she's still at her house but wont be in class, you didn't know?" both were surprised
every message nana had sent to her was unread
nana:" she hasn't excepted any of my calls and hasnr read any of the messages I sent! shes ignoring me...!" nana cried
igarashi:" of course she is" iharashi said bluntly while on his phone
nana:" do you think shes going to be at practice, or her performance?" nana trembled
igarashi:" who knows"
even at practice, aki wasn't there, the show wasn't too far away and they were missing ruby, if she doesn't show up then her understudy would take over, nana started walking home
nana: ' maybe she'll talk to me in person?' nana wondered ' probally not, after what I did to her why would she' he still tried to come up with something, he stopped ' I could go anyway, maybe she'll let me explain....no, I have no right to speak to her, and now shes going to loose her chance to get close to her dream..' he gripped his fist he walked in
nana:" im home.." he said bluntly
kirari:" hi babba!" his sister ran up to him holding a picture she drew, it was dark prince and ruby " guess what! I drew this" she smiled " you can have it"
nana:" aww, your such a good artist" he smiled
kirari:" this is dark prince, and this is ruby, show it to the nice girl from the other day okay" she smiled, and handed it to him " its a good luck charm so the show will go well" he then had an idea
nana:" kirari, ill be right back okay" he opened the door and started running " this wont take long"
at kae's house
aki was lying under her blanket on her bed mat while kae was sitting next to her, both were reading manga, aki let out a sneeze, she was reading up to the part that was the same situation she was in, she let out a squeal
aki:" why do I like it so much in fiction!!!!" she cried, then let her head hit the pillow, kae patted her back
kae:" its okay aki" she reassured
aki" yeah....' but when it happens for real....its really scary..' just then she saw her phone on, she looked and saw the text, it was from igarashi
' apparently nana doesn't remember a thing because of his fever, hes not the lying type, so I think that's the truth, I hope you at least understand that much for now' she finished reading ' I understand..... but im still afraid....what am I supposed to do?' just then there was a knock at kae's door" hey" it opened revealing takuro
takuro:" aki's got a visitor, blonde guy" her eyes widened
aki:" tell him in not here!!!" she went under the covers
takuro:" what? not way" he groaned
kae:" just do it will you!" kae started throwing things at him
takuro:" whats with you!? if your boy toys bugging out fix it yourself!" he yelled running away ' no!!! not now!!!' kae patted her back again
kae:" its okay, just calm down" just then I heard his voice
Nana: AKI!!!" she flintched " I know your up there please listen!! I wasn't myself but that's no excuse for what I did! im sorry for what I did! im sorry for every time i've been a jerk! you don't have to forgive me!!" pretty much kae's Nabors heard and saw a lot aki got up from her bed mat and ran to kae's balcony window
kae:" aki!?" she asked surprised, she opened the door fast
aki:" will you stop! cut it out!" she yelled outside
nana:" I want to earn your friendship, but I back of for good if you feel unsafe, but will you please dance with me? just this once!" he then bowed
' nana....' just then takuro but through the front door
takuro:" SHUT UP!! why are you yelling outside our house like a nutcase!!" he yelled, while throwing salt at him " you want people calling the cops get out of here!!!"
nana:" okay okay! sorry! im leaving!! do me a solid and make sure this gets to aki for me!" he managed to talk a little, he past him some wrapped up roll, when it got to her, she opened it, revealing a kids drawing of rubt and the dark prince, nana's sister drew this
kae:" so aki...what are you going to do?" kae asked
aki:"......"
at Usami land
" is she here?" one of the performers refered to aki " not yet" the guy turned to the director " that's too bad, we'll have to use her stand in"
kae " I don't think shes coming" kae said with a sad face
aki:" wait a sec!" just then aki ran in " can I still go on?" she asked
" sure thing, but are you sure?" the director asked
aki:" yes I feel way better" she said, nana walked up to her
nana:" aki..you came" she backed up a little " no prob!" he put a hand up
aki:" thanks...I know you weren't yourself....but im still nervous....I need sometime" she said, looking to the side
nana:" its fine, im just glad you came" he smiled " you ready, its show time"

igarashi:" its packed today"
shinomiya:" can we sit up front?" shinomiya asked
mutsumi:" that space is reserved for the younger children"
nishina:" I guess juvenile adults count as children" sweatdropped, looking at the three olderboys who refused to leave their spot
" its first come first serve on the seats lady" one said rudly with his friends " we aint moving for nobody" " got a problem with that?" they were all rude " you can stay but you need to sit down so the kids can see" she said, with her hands up in surrender " I cant believ those losers haven't been banned yet" igarashi heard to guys talking " they always come to the live shows, why wont the staff ever step in"
mei:" hey everyone!" the group turned and saw mei and satsuki, with a girl around their age
nishina:" hello mei!" nishina got to their level and gave mei a hug " hello satsuki" she hugged her two
mutsumi:" you two must be here for aki's music performance aren't you" shinomiya asked
satsuki:" yeah! were here for the puri puri moon show too!" she then turned to the girl " oh! I almost forgot, this is yumi, shes one of our neibours"

aki " diamond!" she said in worry " you little!-" aki was about to intervein but nana put an arm in front of her
Nana:" puri puri moon, it seems that we have a common enemy, why don't we deal with them before facing one another" he said ' what is he doing?' aki thought
" what is he doing that's nt in the script" the woman with the mic said
igarshi:" hope you don't mind" igarashi took the mic from her " I can take it from here, he cleared his thoat " well! it seems that ruby and the dark prince have formed a dream team! give those two a hand!" Nana jumped dwon from the stage " you got this!" the croud cheered
kirari " I love you!!!" nana's sitter yelled
nana:" begone fools!" he said in his dark prince voice " take a hint!!" he grit his teeth, trying to push the guy with glasses away
" you guys gonna give me a hand or what?!" the guy groaned " ill take care of this!" the bald one, charged at nana
Aki:" what out!" he got rammed into, his costumes head started spinning and he started to fall back " nana!" she grabbed his hand, he slipped his hand out but she grabbed his hand again " don't worry, I got you"
nana:" aki...thank you" he said, still shocked by her actions
" let go of her the dark prince is never allowed to touch my ruby!!!"the same guy charged
nana:" I swear, il never hurt you again" a small smile formed on her face
aki:" I believ you, nan- dark princes!" she giggled correcting herself " ready!
nana:" I'm with you" their hands were linked, the guy accidently rammed himself into them, falling back
aki and nana:" dark moomlight!! attack!!!!" he fell into his friends, knocking them down
igarashi:" our dreamteam just saved the day!!!"
" you did it!" the croud and kids cheered
because the creepy guy that tried to touch diamond, she twisted her ankle, nana said that he'd do the dance, we walked on stage and absolutely killed it, after the final dance we went back stage
aki and nana and kae:" way to go!" all three high fived, kae noticed the sicuation between the two
kae:" im going to leave two for a moment" she then walked off
