Yuki:*who has scooted as far as possible away from Simon on the ride*

Simon:What's wrong? Something tells me that I'm not wanted up here.

Yuki:-_- I don't feel comfortable talking to another chick's guy

Simon:Huh? Oh, you mean Rika? I'm not her guy. She's just really nice...and stuff *blushes*

Yuki:God.!!Just stop it!!! Just ask her out and be done with it *looks at him with tears in her eyes*

[kndlover7]

(Aww, I wanna put Roz in an akward situation with Simon nooow...)

Roz: *has won the wolfie keyring and is wandering around trying to attach it to her key*

[Renee]

Renee: *walking over to Rika & Alvin, notices Alvin comforting her by rubbing her shoulder* Hmmm... *she grabs Theodore's hand and runs toward the table* Uh, Hi guys.

Rika/Alvin: *jump apart* H-Hi...

Renee: *smiling* Rika, may I borrow Alvin for a second? *points to him* ;D

Rika: *looks at him reluctantly and shrugs* Sure, go ahead... *sighs and looks up at the ferris wheel sadly*

Alvin: *sympathetically* R-Rika...*Renee pulls him off the chair* Whoa!!

Renee: We'll be back!! *pulls Alvin into a nearby corner where they won't be seen or heard. She turns and smiles at him* Okay, I don't think anybody can hear or see us so...

Alvin: *suprised a bit but smiles smugly noticing their surroundings* Wow, Renee if you wanted some special alone time with me, you should've said something sooner. *wiggles his eyebrows and nudges her playfully with a charming smile*

Renee: Oo... Uh, well...*blushes but shakes it off* Do you like Rika?!

Alvin: *jumps back a bit* Wh-what? N-no! I-I mean, she's okay...Wh-when she wants to be... I guess. *looks to the side*

Renee: Do you like her ignoring you?

Alvin: *looks back at her* No!! I mean, who would like it?

Renee: Well I have an idea for her to notice you.

Alvin: *slightly hopeful* Really?

Renee: Mm-hmm! *whispers in his ear*

Alvin: WHAT?!

Renee: Look, Rika's sad right now and needs some company. Maybe if you give her a flower she might open up to you more. Think of it as a friendly gesture.

Alvin: I dunno.You really think it'll work?

Renee: I'm a girl and I LOVE flowers! ;D Trust me, my abuelo is at the flower booth right now. I can get you a flower there. We can even pick it out together if you want.

Alvin: Okay, okay...I'll go along with it. I just don't want her being mad at me... I'm a ladies man afterall. It could ruin my-

Renee: Yay! *hugs him* I knew you would! *giggles and cuddles his cheek* You could be really nice when you wanna be. ;D

Alvin: *blushes a bit* Um...

Renee: Let's go! ;D

[wallysgirl]

*Rika has her head resting on her arms. Theodore is just standing there, still kinda stunned that Renee left suddenly. Looks over at Rika*

Theodore: Hmmm....ah! *runs away, comes back and taps her on the shoulder*

Rika: *glances up, barely moving her head*

Theodore: *smiling but blushing, holding out some cotton candy*

Rika: OO....Theodore....

Theodore: T-they always make me feel better when I'm upset! ^^ Plus their very fluffy and sweet!!! ^^

Rika: *small smile* Thank you Theodore. That's so nice of you. ^^ *takes it and bites a little of it, though she's really not hungry, she does it to show Theo how appreciative she is* Hmmm, sweet!

Theodore: I know! ^^ *hops on a chair next to her* S-so...uh...a-are you gonna be okay?

Rika: *sighs, gives a sad smile* Eventually, yes. *pats his head* Thanks for worrying about me.

Theodore: Aw, you're like the big sister I've never had Rika. ^^ I-I just want you to be happy!

Rika: *kisses his cheek* That's very sweet of you. Thank you. ^^ *eats a bit more, then holds it to Theodore* Want some?

Theodore: *shakes head* N-no! That's for you! It's special, "Make Rika Happy" Cotton Candy! *beams happily*

Rika: OO....^^ I think it's working already.

Theodore: *giggles* Good! I'm glad!! ^^

Rika: ^^ *thinks-

I suppose I shouldn't be all mopey, after all, this is a carnival, I don't want to bring anyone else down. I suppose I can be sad on my own time if I want, but not now, not with my friends here. ^^

* *smiles at Theodore who has his eyes closed and is happily humming a small tune*

[Renee]

*Both Alvin and Renee are looking over the flowers in the booth*

Alvin: So, which flower should we get?

Renee: *shrugs* It kinda depends on the girl I guess. What kind of flowers do you think she likes?

Alvin: How should I know?! *groans fustrated* See? I told ya this was a bad idea! Flowers a fine if your married and Rika and I are definately NOT! *pouts angrily*

Renee: Aye! You are so hopeless! XP *turns to Anthony* Abuelo, what kind of flower do you give to a sad girl.

Anthony: Hm? Well, when you're feeling sad which flower cheers you up?

Renee: Um, *thinks* a pink tulip. They're the most beautiful flowers of all. ;D Oh! I've got the perfect flower for Rika! *walks over to a flower bed and pulls out a rose* Alvin, give her this one. ;D

Alvin: Oo...*takes the flower* This is a rose?

Renee: Of COURSE it's a rose. It's just open instead of closed...

Alvin: Okay, I'll take it! ;D

Renee: Great! That'll be one dollar! ;D *holds her hand out* You can't get anything for free ya know!

Alvin: What?! One dollar?!

Renee: Just kidding! XD It's on me this time but you owe me big! *winks at him and turns to Anthony* Gracias Abuelo!

Alvin: Thanks for the flower sir. *runs back to Rika*

Anthony: You're welcome! *to Renee* Have fun my little match maker. *hugs her and kisses her forehead*

Renee: *giggles and runs off* Hasta luego Abuelo!

[wallysgirl]

Rika: So Theodore, how was the ride with Renee? ^^

Theodore: ...*blushes* U-um...well, the ride was really nice! A-and not scary at all! And R-renee really liked it too!

Rika: Probably because you were with her. ^^ She really enjoys spending time with you.

Theodore: Y-you think so?

Rika: *nods* Mmh-hmm! And...you like her too right?

TheodorE: Um...w-well...

Rika: *giggles* It's kinda obvious Theodore.

Theodore: *blushes* R-really? That much?

Rika: I think it's sweet. ^^ She's lucky to have you for a best friend. ^^

Theodore: Well, I-i think that...

Alvin: *runs up* Hola, Rika! ;D

Rika: OO....I was in the middle of a conversation Alvin. -_-

Alvin: Oh...w-well, *ahem* I was just...

*Renee comes up*

Renee: He wanted to give you something Rika! ;D *nudges Alvin with her elbow* Right Alvin?

Alvin: Renee!

Rika: OO...?? R-really?

[Renee]

Renee: Yup, he sure does! *elbows him* Go on Alvin, don't be shy.

Alvin: O-oh, um...Right. *pulls out the red rose* Here you go Rika.

Rika: *looks at the flower then back at him questioningly* F-for...Me? You sure you're not mistaking me for another girl?

Alvin: N-no! I mean, I noticed you were looking kind of sad and well, I thought a flower might cheer you up. Besides, I hear girls like 'em. *glances at Renee*

Renee: *nods in affirmation* ;D

Rika: *slowly takes the rose from Alvin* Wow...This was Renee's idea wasn't it? *smiles at Renee*

Renee: *giggles and nods* ;D

Alvin: Oo...*puts his arms behind his back sheepishly* Well, yeah. B-but, I went along with it!

Theodore: *leans over and sniffs the rose* Oooooh, it's a really pretty flower. *gently touches the petals*

Rika: *smiles and sniffs the rose* Well, it was really thoughtful of you. *smiles at Alvin* and that's really saying something.

Alvin: See? I am a nice guy afterall, huh?

Rika: *nods and smiles shyly*

Renee/Theodore: *smile at the two*

Renee: I'm glad they're becoming friends now... ^^ Oo...Hey? Where'd the others get to?

[wallysgirl]

Rika: ......well....*looks down at the rose a bit sadly* I think Roz is still playing games. As for Yuki and .......S-simon.... -_- *sighs and points to the ferris wheel*

Renee: *looks* Oh....*looks at Rika*

Rika: *gently tracing the petals of the flower*

Alvin: Oo.... Come on. *takes her hand*

Rika: A-alvin! Where are we going?!

Alvin: WE'RE going on that ride and YOU'RE going to have fun!

Rika: ...B-b-but...Alvin, I don't wan to...

Alvin: You're going!!

Rika: *Frowns a bit* And who are you to tell me what to do?! *yanks her arm away* What happened to Mr. Nice guy?!

Alvin: Rika...*gently grabs her wrist and looks away, then looks at her* I...I don't want to see you sad, okay? -_- There, I said it? Call me sappy, but I can't stand to see pretty girls cry. *bows his head and looks off to side*

Rika: OO...P-pretty? *blushes slightly*

Alvin: Huh?

Rika: *smirks a little* You think I'm pretty?

Alvin: I-I didn't say that!!

Rika: You implied it Alvin.

Alvin: I-I uh...*Rika takes his hand* OO...R-rika?

Rika: C'mon Romeo. *walks towards the Tunnel of Love Ride*

Alvin: R-really?

Rika: Don't breathe too much into this though Alvin. *giggles*

Alvin: *thinks- as long as she's smiling. ^^*

[Renee]

Renee: *waves* Bye, you two! ;D Have fuuuuuuuun!! *giggles*

Theodore: *looks up at Renee with a smile* Soooo, u-um, wh-what do you wanna do now?

Renee: Well the concerts start in like fifteen minutes. Oh, *whispers* I hear that Brittany girl is singing too.

Theodore: R-really? How do you know?

Renee: I over heard some people talking about it. I know this sounds mean, but I'm really not looking forward to her preformance. I don't know why...

Theodore: Probably because she's not very nice?

Renee: Yup, that might be it... *nods* Lets go find Roz and Simon and Yuki.

Theodore: O-okay! ;D

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Yuki:I just don't want to get in the way of your relationship. I know I'll do something stupid and bad things will happen*(lawl foreshadowing)*

Simon:*grabs her shoulders* Yuki. There. Is. Nothing going on with me and Rika.

Yuki:*mutters* Although you wish there would be.

Simon:What is it with you? Do you not like her or something?

Yuki:Maybe I like you. Did you ever think about that? *realizes what she said and looks away*

Simon:*speechless*

Yuki:But everything I try to talk to you about is always Rika, Rika, Rika!!!It's frickin annoying ><

[wallysgirl]

(Long post)

Simon: *adjusts his glasses* You're not being rational.

Yuki: What?

Simon: That Rika is existent a that her presence is a constant, suggests that I would have some reaction or response to her presence: to like or to dislike. I don't dislike her, so obviously I like her. She's nice, she's pretty, and I enjoy talking with her. She is my friend. Any feelings she has towards me I certinaly cannot help or control, that is out of my element.

Yuki: And your feelings for her?

Simon: ....OO....*looks down at the fairgrounds and clears his throat* Currently is an unknown, and undergoing study. But nothing is concretely officialized presently.

Yuki: Oh don't try to make it like an experiment Simon. *folds arms in a huff*

Simon: But isn't all of life an experiment?

Yuki: Whatever! If you like Rika then go be with her! Why are you with me?!

Simon: Because I care about you too. I want both of you to be happy.

Yuki: It would not be "logical" for us to share you Simon.

Simon: I know....but I care for both of you...and Roz...in her own way.

Yuki: *looks away*

Simon: Are you upset with me?

Yuki: ....

Simon: *sighs* I don't want to be on bad terms with you or Rika.

Yuki: Well to bad because one of us is gonna get hurt either way.

Simon: OO.....Oh....so....you DO like me then? You don't think I'm a geek?

Yuki: No, I think you're a geek. But if I didn't like you I wouldn't have kissed you a few nights back. Thought a scientist like you could have come to that conclusion.

Simon: *rubs the back of his head nervously* Erm....kisses aren't my forté, and their are so many meanings behind them, I couldn't really comprehend yours when I thought you thought I was agitating.

Yuki: I said you were cool.

Simon: You and Roz threatened to kill me. That's not comforting to hear and doesn't support any evidence of you thinking of me in a positive manner.

Yuki: .....you talk funny.

Simon. -_- So I've heard. ......how i feel about you ....and rika....is confusing to me at the moment. If I hurt you forgive me, and I'll ask the same of Rika...but it's like you both are 2 sides of me. I'm not all conservative you know, I have a wild side too, I just don't express it as much as Alvin.

Yuki: right.

Simon: you two are so different....but i'm drawn to both of you. and i want to be there for both of you. .....and Roz if she needs it.

Yuki: ......*looking away from Simon*

Simon: *sighs, looks away from Yuki* Wait...is that...*squints* Alvin and Rika? OO...Th-they're going on the t-tunnel of love ride?!

-------------------

*Alvin and Rika head for the T.O.L. and wait in line*

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Yuki:Well, that sucks for you. *shrugs* You seriously need to get out more.

Simon:I go out all the time ><

Yuki:Science fairs don't count.

Simon:*opens his mouth to say something*

Yuki:Museums don't count either.

Simon:*frowns*

Yuki:When we get down from this stupid ride, let's go do something, kay? *smiles*

Simon:But..Rika...

Yuki:I'm sure you can go one day without being with her at all times.

Simon:It's not that. I just..I invited her to be my escort.

Yuki:Uh-huh....And if I'm not mistaken, I belive your dear brother is....'escorting' her right now, am I correct?

Simon:*frowns slightly* Affirmative

Yuki:So therefore, you're hanging out with me ^^

[wallysgirl]

Rika: *poking Alvin's chest angrily* Now no funny business Alvin, you understand?! It's just a ride.

Alvin: *smirking to himself, trying not to laugh* Okay, okay! A ride.....with you. You know you dig me!

Rika: *slight blush* Ugh, whatever! *folds arms and looks off to side*

Alvin: *puts an arm around her shoulder* Listen, I know you'd rather be here with Simon, why I have NO idea. <_< But...I'm not trying to be a substitute or anything. I just don't want to see you upset. You're an awesome girl, any guy would be lucky to have you. Don't settle for less than the best for you.

Rika: The best huh? Lemme guess, you think that's you?

Alvin: OO....Well, I AM the best! ;D

Rika:

Alvin: *chuckles* But if you don't like me that way I understand. Even though I AM Alvin and any girl would be happy with me.....

Rika: EGO TRIP! ><

Alvin: *playfully hits her* I just want you to be happy for yourself.

Rika: And why do you care?

Alvin: Because, I think you're pretty cool.

Rika: *smiles* Thanks Alvin.

Alvin: Right. Now c'mon, let's check out this ride! *takes her paw in his own*

Rika: And keep your paws where I can see'em mister, you understand me?!

Alvin: Yes Mother Theresa. XD

[Renee]

*Renee and Theodore are happily munching on snacks on a bench*

Renee: *eating cotton candy* Mmmmm!! ^^ Cotton Candy is sooo good! It melts in your mouth. *giggles* ;D

Theodore: Oo *mouthful of popcorn, looks at the Cotton Candy interested. He smiles and steals a piece* Mmm, yummy! ;D

Renee: Hey! I never said you can have any! XD *grabs a handful of popcorn and eats it* SO good!

Theodore: *giggles and takes another piece of CC* Y-you're right Renee. Cotton Candy is sweet! *licks his fingers* Mmmm...

Renee: I know! *sighs happily* I wonder if Alvin and Rika are enjoying the ride...

Theodore: *swallows popcorn* A-aw, I'm sure they're having fun!

Renee: Mmh *looks up at the Ferris Wheel* What about Yuki and Simon?

Theodore: *shrugs* I-I dunno...Th-they've been up there for awhile. I-I hope they'll be okay.

Renee: *still looking up* I just hope they don't have to go to the bathroom anytime soon. Oo Wait, where's Roz? *looks at Theodore*

Theodore: Oo *munching on CC, he shrugs* Mmm-emmm?

[wallysgirl]

*Alvin and Rika are sitting apart from each other on the ends of the boat*

Alvin: *glances over at Rika*

Rika: *gently trailing her paw in the water making ripples, smiles a little*

Alvin: *scoots a bit closer, pretends to stretch and put his arm around Rika's shoulder*

Rika: *warning tone* Alvin...

Alvin: *yanks his arm back* S-sorry, habit. *sighs sadly. Puts his elbow on the boat's rim and his face in the palm of his paw*

Rika: *Stares at him. Sighs and looks at all the soft pink illuminating the tunnel. Stares in awe at the glitter on the walls of the ride* OO.....i-it's beaitufil.

Alvin: *stares at her* yeah...

Rika: *feels his stare* W-what?

Alvin: Nothing! *looks away*

Rika: *giggles, slight blush. Looks away* that boy is crazy. ......Oo....I wonder how Simon's doing... *trails paw in the water again*

Alvin: *stares at her, frowns to himself* Darn it Simon, how could the 'Responsible one' make such an awesome girl so sad and be oblvious? *sighs, looks down. Then looks over at Rika again. Scoots cloer to her and wraps an arm around her. Pulls her closer to him*

Rika: OO....*shocked at his forwardness* A-alvin?

Alvin: You looked like you were gonna cry again.

Rika: Oh....yeah...well...*looks away* Sorry to be a burden.

Alvin: You're not. *restrains himself from nuzzling her hair*

Rika: right....*looks away* -_-

Alvin: Rika...
