@lollipopgirl: adding up the 'ingredients' from your freaked out experience really cook up some trauma... something like that happened to me before... i hate mice... good thing there aren't any in yossui's house and office... good luck to you on your exam!!!
in keeping with what i said earlier... UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #3
Hitomi, Rika and Ayaka didn’t have to wait as Mai and Ayumi were already in the office standing by the doors, anticipating their arrival. Both Hitomi and Rika were silent and pretty nervous.
“Hello~, Yo-san… Rika-chan…” Ayumi greeted them with a big grin on her face. Lalalalalala. Her face told them that the three knew the announcement already.
“Yoshiko… you look dashing today…” Mai pulled Hitomi away from Rika. “Now… I believe, the president has an important announcement for her staff…” Mai dragged Hitomi to her executive chair and pushed her to sit.
Meanwhile, Ayumi took Rika to the chair in front of the desk. She still wore the big grin she greeted them with. Ayaka was just standing there. Amidst the silence in the room, all three were laughing evilly in their heads like witches to a cauldron. Finally…
Ayaka and Mai each stood on either side of Hitomi while Ayumi sat across Rika. Ayaka placed her hands on the backrest of Hitomi’s executive chair. “Now, for your announcement, Yoshizawa-san…”
“Do you guys really have to make it as ceremonious as this?”
Mai turned Hitomi’s chair to herself. “Make your announcement, Yoshizawa-san, you wouldn’t want us to force it out of you…” Ayaka and Mai rubbed their hands together.
Hitomi knew what that meant. “Okay! Okay! I’ll make the announcement!!!”
“Very good, Yoshizawa-san…” Mai turned the chair back to it’s proper position.
Hitomi was red as a ripe tomato as she opened her mouth to speak. “I… … … Yoshizawa Hitomi… and Ishikawa Rika… are now officially… … … a couple…”
Rika was in an equal shade of red when Ayumi faced her and asked. “ Do you confirm or deny Yoshizawa-san’s testimony?”
Rika looked at Hitomi and smiled. “I confirm. Yoshizawa Hitomi and I, Ishikawa Rika are an official couple as of today.”
The whole ordeal made Rika pretty nervous with all the formalities and threats from Mai and Ayaka to Hitomi but after what she just said she thought she could finally breathe. The three laughed out loud but to Rika, that didn't matter.
