Title: Romeo and Cinderella (Churi-Airin-Rena) Chapter 2! Update finally!
Post by: local-buddies on April 13, 2012, 05:38:28 PM
Romeo and Cinderella








Based on a rearrangement-cover of a song of the same title.



Prologue


Until these feelings I couldn’t tell you disappear…

At a young age, the two of us met, and in an instant, we immediately became friends. Just like that, we became inseparable. As though we were made to meet each other and be together forever- or at least that’s what I thought- what we thought when we were still young.

We were together until we reached high school- playing anything that comes in our mind, spending our time with only each other by the park from morning until sun down. Even though our games were always the same, I never grew sick of it; playing ‘pretend’ with you. Even until now, I still remember that one ‘pretend’ game we made which I took as ‘reality’ and held onto those words until this very day-

“Let’s pretend Romeo and Juliet! How does that sound? I’ll be Churi’s Romeo and be by her side forever!”

With your innocence brimming from your eyes, you yelled out to me proudly. Out of happiness, I agreed and took the hand you held out to me, and there, I made a promise with you.

“Then I will be Airin’s Juliet and promise to only be hers and hers alone!”

But then…

In our little play, a new character entered. A character who took your attention away from me, a character who ruined our story of Romeo and Juliet…

A Cinderella who held the name of Matsui Rena.

Vocaloid song! I love all the other artist who covers this and Hatsune Miku singing it. :heart: I won't be surprised if another song inspire fic comes out from you and its named Magnet. Hahaha, I'm thinking, someone from one of the three should be prepared for the title Just Be Friends (my fav. song from Luka) if ever romance sparks and one of them is left behind~ Hahaha, jokes aside, again, you sure know how to perk my interest. :) I'm very interested of how things will be, this love triangle sure is interested. I can see Furuyanagi and RenAirin and I'm liking it to be honest. Can't wait to see the first chapter. :cathappy:

Just realized something......Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers...in Shakespeare's story, their relationship was bound to be doomed, is this a sign already or what? :sweatdrop:

I'm still in the middle of ranting at myself on how I should write the next chapter, so for now, replies replies~!

@karomuwi: Oh. Thank you for your kind words. xD Actually, you're far too kind. But as for the "Mixing fairytales like a pro" part, I think that credit goes to the genius who made the song. I forgot who though. /ungrateful bastard. But yeah, the main idea of this fanfic is not from me, but a song named "Romeo and Cinderella" by Hatsune Miku. At the same time, I'm mixing "I don't even know a milimeter of Romeo and Cinderella" covered by a Nico nico singer. :)) Really, the pros are them, not me. I will try to update soon!

@HashirePomeranian: Yes, I love this song too! xD It has a really deep meaning if you really look through the lyrics of the song. Thank you for reading this though! ^^

@ohayou: I'll update soon~ I'll update soon~ So until then, please don't die yet. xD Thank you for reading the prologue!

@yukofan: Ohohoho~ I wonder about that. We'll have to wait and be patient to find out. >:]

@Sieka: My God, I never knew that there were lots of Vocaloid listeners here! xD I'm kind of happy to know that there are. Hmm... Magnet you say? How about I write a Just be Friends fic for you? xD My MajiGaku drabbles is already gaining roaches from being abandoned anyway. Hmm.. But yeah, the one who will be left behind in this fic might be friendzoned (And end up following the Just be friends route). But who knows! =o

Furuyanagi and RenAirin are one of my top favorite SKE ship! xD RenAirin mainly as I see Furuyanagi more like a "Captain-Ace" kind of thing. (Even though the Ace is Mana-chan xD)

@crazywota: One thing. Hi Jakichan :9

---

I forgot to add this,

My mother tongue is Filipino, with English as my third...? But anyway, yeah. My english won't be that great so prepare more herpa derps in the near for future.

I need a writing buddy with all these doubts clouding my mind and slowing my pace down! \o/

I mostly listen to anime songs and Vocaloid songs more or less than Jpop artists, but I'm changing it, I'm doing a balanced focus now with AKB and SKE here. :lol:

Magnet is really good you know, hoho, the implications are nice and NegiToro, I mean Luka and Miku's duet is really great.
Hmm, try making one if you can, though I think using Just Be Friends would be easy for you. *smirks* You should post em' MajiGaku stories if their getting roaches, I'd surely want to read them. :3

FRIENDZONED, ouch...... :lol: Ah, the bitter reality, I'll wait for who could that person be. :lol: But you're giving some implications though. XD

Also, lol, you forgot Pandah-san's comment. :lol:
Aww..... Yer such a mean author~ Joke. :lol:

Hmm, I would volunteer myself as your writing buddy, but alas! My English isn't that perfect....... :smhid

Title: Romeo and Cinderella (Churi-Airin-Rena) Chapter 1
Post by: local-buddies on May 01, 2012, 12:11:39 AM
@Seika: Right now, thanks to a friend of mine, I'm slightly still updated about Vocaloid's songs and such. But other than Vocaloid and AKB, I don't have anything else to listen to, to be honest. I like groups like Scandal, Zone and Sekai no Owari too, but I rarely listen to them anymore. ;_;

I know that Magnet is a great song- especially in this fandom where it's filled with Yuriness /o/ but I don't think I'll be able to put that glorious song into a story successfully as I'm still inexperienced about this. ;w; I'm sorry for the long delay for the said "Just be Friends" fanfic too. (Been procrastinating a lot lately) I'll put it down soon though @_@ I'm quarter-way done with it as we speak.

As for who will be Friendzoned.... Well, judging from this song and such /o/ That should be obvious already ;w; Cry cry.

I'm not a Mean Author too! ; A ; Seriously, I didn't saw it. ;_; Stupid blind eyes.

And I would like to say that I believe that your english is far better than mine at least. ;w; Hearing you say that is like saying to me that my english is nothing but a piece of crap. ;__________;

@crazywota: Now you know who I am /o/

@kahem: I wonder if it really would end up funny /o/

@HashirePomeranian: I just saw your Daughter of Evil MoMusu fic! /o/ I haven't finished reading it though (in fact I only read Chapter 1 as of now  :bleed eyes:) I agree that Vocaloid's songs are well suited for stories, as the songs alone already tell a story by itself \o/

My skype is Akiichi.Rino just in case you feel like trying to deal with this idiot over here ;w;. And thank you, I don't have much confidence in my English yet but hearing that is a great relief. ;w;

@aoi_sora: Hi Joane >:]



Another note: I'm sorry for my late update! I got... Lazy o 3o

And this chapter is boring (and short at that). ;w;

I need to learn how to write stories, seriously /o/


Chapter 1


“Churi, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

 Even when we were young, you were like my knight in shining armor, always there to notice first whenever I felt down. Every time you see me in that state, you crouch down beside me and gently pat my back.

“Papi… Papitan escaped!”

I, a cry baby, for sure didn’t deserve all of your kindness, but still, you continued on being by my side anyway…

“Ehh? That parakeet of yours?”

“U-Un…”

Even to the most ridiculous things, you would still help me…

“Wait here, I’ll find it for you so stop crying already, okay? Just give me two hours or something!”

Even when it meant that you would get hurt too.

“Airin! Wh-What happened? You’re covered with scratches and leaves!”

“Ehehehe…”

But even when you were hurt, you would still beam your smile at me, a smile that captures my heart every time you flash it,

“Don’t mind about me, here, I got your Papitan back!”

That’s right; you were my savior, the only one who cared about me enough to even neglect your own needs….

You were my knight.

My beloved prince…


The three of us were known for being close friends; Airi, Rena and I. When Airi and I ended up in the same class in high school, we met Rena, she was a student who decided to transfer in our school in the middle of the second semester and so I thought that she was an interesting girl, especially after seeing Airi’s flustered face the moment she introduced herself in front of the whole class.

At first I didn’t mind it, how Airi always avoids her gaze and hurry her way out of the room when she was going to approach us, in fact, I thought it was adorable so I went as far as befriending Rena just to tease her…

But then the times of Airi avoiding Rena lessened, especially after the three of us ended up in the same club- which only had one member in the past. It was the literature club.

Airi was the one who suggested we join it, as it was less crowded than the other clubs. Thankfully, the club ‘captain’, Oya Masana, was kind enough to let us join in even though we weren’t really that interested with reading. As long as we don’t destroy any of the books inside, then we’re free to claim ourselves members of the club, she said.

It was lunch time when Airi and I decided to eat our lunch there. Rena had something to do first so she was going to be late. Odd enough, as soon as we arrived in the club room, we saw Masana there, fixing the books in the shelves and arranging them by their names and such. Noticing the door open, she quickly turned her head to us and smiled at us a little,

“Hello there, Churi, Airin.” Though we have only met, the four of us decided that it would be better if we chose to call ourselves by our nickname. Me as Churi, Airi as Airin and Masana as Masanya. Rena insisted that she had no nicknames though, so we end up calling her Rena most of the time. “Here to eat lunch, I see?” She continued as she eyed our packed lunch before smiling even more, “Try not to leave any leftover on the table, okay?”

Masana is a weird girl, to be blunt. Well, for me that is. She has this ‘do not approach me’ aura lurking around her, and yet, when you actually get to know her or even just introduce yourself to her, you would come to notice that she was actually more approachable than what you thought she would be. She has this ‘sisterly’ aura around her as well. But that might just be my imagination.

“Yeah, did you eat yours already Masanya?” Airi answered as she walked further inside the room and placed her packed lunch down on the table, she took a seat on her usual chair afterward before gesturing me to come in as well. “Why are you just standing there Churi?”

I hurriedly shuffled towards my seat as soon as I realized how I was just dazing there like an idiot,

“I don’t usually eat lunch…”

No wonder she looked thin. I pursed my lips into a thin line. I don’t usually get worried about other peoples’ health and such, aside from Airi, but towards Masana, I guess I could make an exception. “That’s no good, Masanya. Why don’t you eat lunch with us for today? I cooked a lot for today anyway since I had a lot of spare time earlier this morning.” I smiled a little as soon as I saw her look at me as though I just said the most reckless thing ever. “If you’re going to say no on my offer, then I won’t eat lunch as well.” My smile grew even more.

“In that case, I won’t eat my lunch as well unless Masanya agrees too!” Airi jumped in, smiling playfully at our club ‘captain’ as well.

I could hear a small sigh leaving from her lips, “Alright… I suppose there’s no helping it. Thank you, you two.”

“The pleasure is ours.” Both Airi and I accidentally said in unison, making the two of us laugh a little before arranging our seats closer to each other along with Masana so it wouldn’t be too difficult to share our lunch with her.

Even though she was normally the cool type out of all of us, Masana seemed like she was embarrassed as Airi and I occasionally fed her.

“Here Airin, why don’t you try this sausage too?” Picking the said sausage up from my packed lunch, I lifted it up towards her. Airi ate it without any second thoughts, and after swallowing the food, she lifted up one of her egg rolls to me as well.

“Equivalent Exchange” she said before trying to shove the egg inside my mouth.

Given with not much option, I opened my mouth, but as soon as I did so, we heard the door open. Immediately, the food that I was supposed to eat was pulled away and placed back inside the lunch box.

Airi hurriedly stood up afterward, “R-Rena-san!” She exclaimed, almost resembling a puppy who finally saw her owner after quite awhile, “Um… Sorry if we’re almost done eating our lunch, but here,” she offered her seat to her, “Let’s eat lunch together anyway.”

“Sorry for taking so long,” Rena apologized before walking towards Airi’s seat and sitting down there. Airi sat down on the empty seat beside her afterward.

As expected, the club room’s tension dropped down as soon as Rena walked inside. Even though earlier, when it was just the three of us inside, the room was filled with laughter, now it was just constant dull conversations. Airi stopped feeding Masana as well, leaving me to do it all by myself. It was really weird, the fact that everything seems to change in the presence of Rena, but eventually we just got used to it.

It must be because of Rena’s princess-like aura around her. It’s as though she was unconsciously telling us not to act too childish for our age, thus holding us from making fun out of each other.

At the same time, it seems like she herself loves to fool around though, “Airin, isn’t this tamagoyaki a little bit too salty?” She bluntly said after stealing Airi’s food and popping it in her mouth, Airi immediately stuttered an ‘is that so?’ in response, her head dropping down a little. “I’m just kidding.” Rena laughed a little, “It was delicious.”

“A-Ah… I see…” Trying to hide her smile from Rena, Airi dropped her head down even more. It was quite obvious that she was almost as red as a tomato from embarrassment though.

“Isn’t it weird?” I turned my head to Masana as soon as I heard her whisper, “How Airin’s attitude seems to change when Rena is around, and how Rena seems to be more caring around Airin… It makes them look like they’re a newly made couple, doesn’t it?” Watching the two silently, she slowly rested her chin down on her palm, making it look as though she was about to daydream, “How nice… To have someone care for you like that…” she sighed.

I nodded my head absent mindedly before turning to the two again,

It kind of hurt a little, to see the two of them so attached like that. Airi and I used to be like that too in the past- before Rena appeared. But it’s not like I’m blaming her for the sudden change between us…. Am I?

Sighing inwardly to myself, I took some rice using my chopsticks and lifted it up to our club president, “Here,”

“Oh… Um… Thank you…”

--

I didn’t really mind at how Airi’s attention seemed like it was fully magnetized towards Rena, I’m not really the type who gets easily jealous for things like that… But what bothered me the most was the fact that Airi would often forget about her promise just because she would be too preoccupied with Rena.

It was starting to annoy me.

--

Remembering that Airi and I were supposed to go to a pet shop together today to see if they had any new birds in stock, I hurriedly packed my things as soon as classes ended and approached her. The pet shop would already be close in an hour, so unless the two of us wanted to see the shop closed already when we get there, we had to hurry.

“Airin, ready to go to the pet shop?” I called out as soon as I finished packing my things, only to see the color on her face fade away as soon as I did so, “Is something the matter?” I furrowed my brows down.

“W-Was it today?” She muttered quietly to herself, though I was lucky enough to pick it up. I furrowed my brows even more, “Ch-Churi um… Sorry!” She immediately clasped her hands together while bowing down, “I kind of promised Rena-san that I would tell her the way to the bakery where they sell cheap melon pans today… So I don’t think I can go with you… I’m really sorry!”

Even though she made a promise to go with me first…

“It’s okay.” I smiled down at her, “I’ll just ask Masanya if she can go with me instead.” Walking towards the door, I turned to her one more time with my slightly forced smile still plastered on my face, “I hope you enjoy yourselves.” I muttered before walking out, closing the door behind me before aimlessly making my way towards the club room.

Ever since Rena appeared, it’s as though my importance in Airi’s life dropped down from being her ‘bestfriend’ into nothing.

But I can’t blame her for it.

Not the sweet Rena who always showed me her kind smile,

And not the Rena who seems to turn Airi into a hopeless little girl with just one look.

I didn’t like it though, this sudden change…

I want to change it, turn it back into how it was before…

But maybe….

Maybe that’s too impossible to happen now.

I pity Churi, because she's been with Airin for such a long time and is now feels like she's been replaced.  :cry: Poor Churi. Rena-san seems to be the same as always, emitting her princess aura.  XD

And Airin...seems like she has a crush on her, that Churi can't help but feel jealous.

I want to support Rena-sama, but I pity Churi more!  :( Argh~ Fine!

 :onioncheer: Go whoever local-san wants Airin to be with! I shall accept it! No matter who it is!  :farofflook:

@karomuwi: Whoever I pair Churi with, eh? Fufu~ I wonder who indeed >u> Thank you for reading, karomuwi-san! /o/

@Pandah: I'm sorry if my update took forever.  :bleed eyes: try not to twist your insides too much, you might die. xD I wonder what's going on in Masana's head too... Hmm... Does she know? Does she NOT know? Hm, I wonder~~ Thank you for reading! ^^

@HashirePomeranian: do you ever sleep? Yes! The one and only Akiichi! ;w; Who are you in FB? Let me add you! And then bug you! ;w; Or maybe not. I'm sure you meant "I don't even know a Millimeter of Romeo and Cinderella", right? It's really catchy. x.x It's kind of sad for me to know already who's going to lose in this story, knowing that I love that person so much. ;_; I'm such a masochist for doing this.

I'm glad to hear that. ;_; Because honestly, I was worried that I might have failed in writing down Churi's feelings towards RenAirin. Oh and Congratulations for being the first for the second page! xD And thank you for reading. ;w;

@gekirena: Yes! Finally an Update! ;w; Thank you for reading.

@aoi_sora: Indeed it is I, the Mighty Akiichi! And don't call me Loli-chan! D<
Another Prince eh? I wonder who that "other prince" may be. Herm herm.
Well, we do know that as how Juliet has Romeo, Cinderella also has Prince Charming.

Where did Prince Charming-san go? /o/

Title: Romeo and Cinderella (Churi-Airin-Rena) Chapter 2! Update finally!
Post by: local-buddies on September 10, 2012, 05:05:16 PM
Hey guys! I'm sorry for suddenly missing like that. ;_; But I'm back nau~ Or at least for now just to post this~

Anyway, I've decided!

I think I'll just write this story up until 4 Chapters Only. Kind of too short, I know... But it's only because I have another Churi-centered long shot in mind! And I refuse to write about it until I finish this one! I've been too distracted already, after all. So I might as well finish at least one story first before adding another one to my long list, yes?

I'm sorry for this sudden announcement, everyone. m ( _ _ ) m

On to the story nau! Also, please answer the poll I've added above! Thank you! ^o^



Chapter 2

I’ve actually thought of telling Airi how I feel. In hopes that somehow, even if it’s just for a little, I find out that our feelings were mutual after all-

But that’s impossible,

Even I can see it.

No matter how much I lie to myself, no matter how many times I whispered to nobody that I loved her more than anyone… I knew that she loves her more than me. Even though we’ve spent time together more, even though we know about each other more…

I don’t understand it, really…

How can she even fully fall in love with someone whom she just knew for a month’s time? How can she be so sure that she’s not there just to turn her into her doll? That she’s not secretly a girl who hides her evil ideas behind her angelic smile?

I’m sorry for saying things like this…

Maybe I’m the one who’s evil out of all of us- thinking that Rena is an evil girl just because Airi prefers her more than me… I’m overly driven by my jealousy. I’m sick, despicable…

“You know, if you really love Airin that much, why don’t you just confess? Face the truth and stop being a chicken.” Masana suddenly broke the silence between us as she flipped through the pages of the book she was reading as though she lost all interest she had from it earlier.

I looked up to her, eyes slightly widened.

It was only the two of us present in the club room today, with both Rena and Airi stuck with cleaning duty. I actually considered going straight home after school, but the thought of just abandoning Masana like that stopped me half way.

Clearing my throat, I gave my bottom lip a light bite before shakily voicing out, “Y-You knew...? About my feelings towards Airin…”

“Obviously.” She answered flatly, “The way you stare at her, the way you frown whenever Rena and Airi starts ‘flirting’ with each other discreetly. You’re all too obvious, Churi.” Closing the book in her hand, Masana carefully placed it on the table before her, “So? What are you going to do? Just sit there and watch things unfold before you? Continue killing yourself emotionally?”

“I-… I know that Airi will never reciprocate my feelings so what’s the use of confessing?” It was the truth anyway. That Airi only sees me as a friend, and never more than that. “Should I give up then? But how do you give up exactly? Is it by deciding to put your feelings down and following through with it? Or is it by taking steps away from your true feelings? By staying away from Airi…? Once again, I bit my lip. My sight was starting to become blurry, and my hands were beginning to shake. Nonetheless, I continued, “I… I just don’t know what to do… I know that I’ll never be with her but… A side of me still hopes that she would finally look at me, not as a friend, but as someone more than a friend.”

All of the sudden, I felt something warm on my head- Masana’s hand. I was talking too much that I didn’t even notice how she stood up from her seat and slowly walked closer to me. She continued on patting my head for awhile before slowly, letting my head rest by her stomach as she wrapped her arms around it. “I’m not an expert about love, Churi, but what I can see, however, is that you’re simply hurting yourself with this. I won’t stop you from falling in love with Airin, I don’t have the right to do that, but please, at least even for a day or two, stop clouding your mind with jealousy.”

“I-…”

“Happy birthday to you~” I lifted my head up a little, my eyes immediately locking themselves on Masana’s as I looked at her quizzically. Why is she singing a birthday song all of the sudden…? “Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday dear Churi.” Slowly unwrapping her arms around my head, she knelt down beside me, wiping something from my eyes with her thumb with a warm smile on her face, “Happy birthday to you.”

Blinking repetitively, I looked at the thumb she used to wipe. Water. I was crying? Since when…?

“I don’t have a birthday cake with me but…”

I turned to her again, now with my brows lifted up “A cake..? Happy Birthday…? What do you mean?”

“I knew it.” She heaved out a sigh disappointedly. Did I do something wrong? “You were too busy being jealous that you even forgot your birthday… November 29. Today is November 29, Churi. Your birthday.”

“My… birthday… But how did you-”

“As the club president, I can’t possibly just neglect the members’ birthday, can I? I asked your class adviser when your birthday was. Including Airin and Rena’s. I didn’t have enough time to get you a cake though, since the cake shops would always be close by the time I get home from cram school. That’s why, instead of getting you a cake…” Still speechless at how much a mere club president can be so thoughtful, I continued on staring at her in awe as she made her way to the window, her hand placing themselves by the curtains which she left closed this whole time.

“That’s why, instead of a cake, I got you this.” 

With her usually serious-coated face lightening up with a huge smile spreading from her lips, Masana pulled the curtains to the side, forcing me to shut my eyes close as the honey-shaded sunlight beamed through the window towards my eyes. Before I could even open them again, I heard a familiar chirping sound. One that I usually hear whenever I’m at home, or whenever I visit a pet shop. A bird’s melodic cry.
 
“I remembered how much you loved birds, you always brag about your precious Papitan and his comrades to me, after all. So I though maybe I should buy him a new family member?” Bringing the bird- particularly a parakeet closer to me, Masana opened the cage’s small door. “Now then, do you want to hold him? Don’t worry; I’m sure this one is just as kind as your Papitan. Come on, why don’t you raise your finger up so he can jump on it?”

I couldn’t even think of a proper reply. The only thing I was able to do so far was nodding my head and following what she asked me to do- lifting my finger closer to the parakeet before me. I just stood there like an idiot, watching in silence as the bird jumped from his cage towards my finger. Before I knew it, tears were starting to gather in my eyes again, making my vision blurry.

Why…?

Even though Masana did all of this to cheer me up, why am I still crying?

“Please…”

Hearing her voice suddenly change from the cheerful tone she had earlier to one which sounded like she was actually pleading sincerely, I lifted my head up, letting my now overflowing tears roll down on my cheek freely.

“Churi, even if it’s just for today… Can you please stop thinking about Airin…? I’ll… I’ll do my best to make you happy- even if you just give me this one day to be with you- I’ll make sure that you’ll smile… So Churi… For you birthday, can you stop eating yourself inside by thinking of her… And go out with me?”



With this Chapter ending in such a cliff hanger...
C-Could it be?!

That Oya Masana is the Prince Charming who's going to sweep Juliet (Churi) off of her feet just like what Romeo (Airi) did to Cinderella (Rena)?!

What do you guys think?!

Please tell me your answer through voting on the poll, and comment too if you wish! ^o^

Ahhhhhh

 :smhid Rena for breaking the awesome Furuyanagi pair. Heheh.
But on a second thought ChurixMasana seems really nice too. Masana going her way out to get Churi a parakeet for her birthday present is  :inlove:
4 chapters is pretty short, imo, but I'll be looking forward to that Churi-centric shot you'll be writing.
