    Vacation

    “ Ritzu! Let’s go to Japan Town today!” Misa squealed.
    “Yeah! Let’s take the top down!” Osora agreed.
    “Alright, fine…” I said.
    It was summer vacation. It was hot but with a slight summer breeze… San Francisco has never had such a perfect wheather for me. Vacation started just a few weeks from now but we still missed our middle school and high school years at M.I.T even though we were glad to graduate.
    “What do we wear?” Misa asked as Osora dug in our closets.
    ‘Costplay or Gothic-Lolita?” Osora questioned as she modeled the clothes. We loved going to Japan Town, costplayers, Goths, emos and lolitas were always welcome!
    “Gothic-Lolita this time,” I said as I put on my fish net stockings and tossed on a doll- like dress.
    “Okie!” Misa said as she put on her favorite purple corset and skirt. “Ready to go!” As we drove down the streets of SFO we waved hi to random pedestrians, tourist and drivers passing by and gave high-fives to trolley riders.
    “Here we are!” I said as I parked the car.
    “To the sharp dangerous store!” We shouted as we went through the automatic doors (We called it the Sharp Pointy Objects Store because we paid so little attention to the real name). They had new blades in stock, as I ‘carefully’ picked up the blade and observed it. I carefully reached my hand to the sharp end to see how sharp it was-
    “Ouch!” I shouted. The person behind me had bumped me causing my finger to press on the blade and cut the outer flesh of my finger. It started bleeding…
    “ Ah, I’m sorry…” The person behind me apologized.
    “Naw” I said as I turned around “ It’s okay-“ I paused and stared at the guy in a gaze… He was really good-looking! No he was HOT!” I-I get cuts like these all the time’ I smiled trying not to let him worry. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a band-aid, he seemed to hesitate, and then wrapped it around my finger. He left me in a daze…
    “Ummm… Thanks” I said.
    “ You’re welcome…” He said and walked away with his friend.
    “ Ya shoulda asked her for her number” His friend teased “ I mean she is-“ Their voices faded away as they walked out of the store.
    “OH MY GOD THOES GUYS ARE H-O-T!!!” Misa suddenly appeared behind me.
    “ Yeah they are!” Osora appeared out of nowhere. They really were hot. He had sad gray eyes and grayish white hair and his friend had dark blue hair and deep blue eyes… They were like real life anime characters…
    “OHH THAT REMINDS ME!” Osora shouted, “ We should go to the new awesome fabric shop and make our Midnight Dance Dresses!!!”
    “Yeah we should!!!” Misa and me squealed in excitement. We make our own clothes -except for jeans- so we could look different and have clothes nobody has. The Midnight Dance was cut up to 3 different dances spring, summer and my personal favorite the winter dance! For the spring midnight dance I would use the colors black and green, for the summer dance I would use red and black and for winter I would use blue, black or white.
    My favorite part besides making the dresses they held it in a garden that had blood red roses, black beauties and the ever blooming cherry blossom tree.
    “Y’know what would be really cool” Osora said before we even answered, “It that white and blue haired guys were at the Midnight Dance!!!”
    “Yeah! I know!” Misa agreed.
    “Yeah I guess so…” I said.
    “You don’t guess so you KNOW SO!!!” Misa argued.
    “Alright, alright, don’t get so worked up over some dudes,”
    “ Not JUST some dudes, TWO HOT dudes!”
    "OKAY JUST SHUT UP I GET THAT THEY ARE FRIGIN' HOT JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!" Osora shouted as she covered her ears.
    "....." Misa and I stayed silent and head torwards our rooms. I started making my Midnight dress.
    It took 13 days for all of us to finish our dresses all togeter but I kept my dress a suprise and Osora and Misa were about to explode...
    "COME ON SHOW IT TO US!!!" Osora and Misa would whine. And I would always say, "It's a suprise," and I would put my finger on my lips. The Midnight dance was tommorow and after that we would await for the Winter Midnight Dance!
    I awoke on the day of the dance by the exited stares and screams of Misa..."C'MON TONI GET DRESSED GET DRESSED!!!!"
    "Yeah it's already 5PM!!!" Osora pointed out. On the Midnight dance I would oversleep because it starts at 9PM and there would be a suprise at 12.
    "Okay, okay I'm getting up, don't use up all the hot water" I said because we would all take a bath at the same time but in different bathrooms...
    "OMG!!!" Osora and Misa squealed as I stepped out of the bathroom "SEEEXY!!" Misa shouted.
    "Not looking to bad yourselves!" I said to them.
    "Looks like your celebrating Halloween in summer Ritz!" Osora complemented.
    "Misa you look like Strawbeery Chocolate!!! Brown and pink give that impression!!! And Osora ya look like a fox! LITERALLY!!!"
    "AWSOME DRESSES" We all shouted "Now lets get outta here its already 8:30! IT'S SO HARD TO GET YOUR HAIR IN CURLS MISA!!!" Osora said.
    "Perfection takes time!"
    We arived at the dance at 8:55. And we had the beat dresses and the only homemade ones that NOBODY had! And a lotta dudes were checkin out Misa's a**.... which ticked her off.
    "OHHHH THIS IS MY SONG!!!" Misa shouted exitedly.
    "ME TOO LETS GO DANCE!"Osora agreed. I Kissed A Girl was playing...
    "C'MON RITZU!"
    "Naw... I wanna check out the Everblooming...." I wasn't much of a dancer....
    "Suit yourself..."
    I gazed off at the Everblooming....
    "Beautiful isn't it?"
    "Huh?" I said confused as I reterned to reality, "Yeah..." I looked to see who it was, It was that hot blue haired guy!
    "I wasn't talking about the Everblooming I was reffering to you," He said "Ah, I didn't introduce myself" He said as he walked closer. " My name is Yuki, love," He said as he kissed my hand. OH MY GOD!!! I felt my face turn pink.
    "Ummm.... my name is R-Ritsuki b-but you can call me Ritzu" I stutered.
