Konno smiled to herself while Makoto slept peacefully on the bed. The bucket still hadnt come off so the snores echoed around the inside. She was overcome with strange feelings. Love mingled with guilt in her stomach and she felt ill and incredibly lucky at the same time. Lucky for having someone special in her life and a sickening guilt for not telling that person what is going on - what is going to happen. The longer she waits the more she risks losing their trust.
Please understand how hard it is to say
She lets go of Makoto's hand and watches it curl up into a passive fist before quietly making her way to the desk by the window. From the draws she took out the paper Makoto gave her for christmas and started her letter. This was the only way she could think of giving her explaination without losing courage.
Every so often Makoto rolled and mumbled in her slept but never woke. Konno gave a silent prayer of thanks as she set the letter, folded in the shape of a love heart, beside the bed and snuck outside.

Tsunku had searched his office with no luck. His Video Gold Class membership card was missing. Gone. Vanished off the face of the earth. And it had done so and the most inconvinient time. This was his first weekend in over 8 months that he had, had totally free. There was absolutely nothing he had to do. On these rare occasions he would rent a stack of movies and enjoy his free time.
"Goddamn it!" Tsunku threw his posturepedic pillow across the room, knocking a picture taken of all the H!P girls to the floor. He picked it up slowly, paying more attention to the thoughts in his head than the item in his hands. Abstract things usually gave him ideas for songs. On a small pad he kept on the table at all times he scribbled down notes for the song along with some notes on what happened to give him that inspiration (He sometimes like to repeat the 'accident' again and again just incase gets more inspired). After finishing his notes with a big smile (he had just wiped another thing of his to do list, making his weekend even free-er and the following week even easier) he placed the photo back on the wall where it belonged. That's when the second thought struck.
Maybe they know where it is...

"How about Spagetti Bolognese?" Ishikawa took the jar off the shelf and looked at the label.
Yossui wheeled the trolley back and read over her shoulder. "It's got tomatoes in it"
Ishikawa frowned not quite catching the point of the statement.
"Remember what happened last time you had tomatoes?" Yossui elaborated. "You got that funny rash.."
"Ohh.." Ishikawa put the jar back and linked Yossui's arm, strolling down the aisles for something else to cook. They walked casually up and down each aisle. It was fairly late at night so only a few customers coming home from work were shopping.
Yossui was far away in a different world when Ishikawa's excited squeals brought her back. Without knowing it, they'd walked straight into the baby section. Ishikawa was now holding a pair of pink booties and squealing madly at how cute they were.
"They're just too cute!!"
She waved the little shoes infront of Yossui. They were undeniably cute. Yossui gave in and picked up another pair of the tiny booties off the shelf. Ishikawa had already put hers back and was now crying over how cute the little outfits were.
"Im going to have a baby girl and she'll grow up to be as beautiful as me"
Yossui rolled her eyes. "A little presumptious, dont you think?"
"Dont crush my dreams like that!" Rika playfully hit Yossui's arm "What about you?"
In all honesty, Yossui had been thinking about her future too. "I'll have a boy..and I'll teach him how to play soccer and how to box"
"Shoko"
"Huh?"
"We'll call her Shoko"
Yossui smiled at Rika who now was the one off in her own world and had been there for a while.
"It's a good name"
"What about for the boy?"
Yossui had no idea, she had obviously not thought as deeply as her girlfriend had. "Uhh, I dunno...Makoto?"
Rika's face changed to mild shock and disgust. "No way, I dont want to name our kids after anyone from Morning Musume"
The slight slip up in words caught Yossui's attention. Our kids?
She was a little surprised and amused at the same time at the casualty of the question. "Do you want to have kids with me?"
It came out all wrong but there was no normal way to ask. Rika was suddenly brought to realise the mistake in the wording of her thoughts.
"Oh god" She put her hand over her eyes "That's not quite what I meant..."
Yossui shrugged it off. The conversation was getting too weird, borderline uncomfortable. "What ever. This domestic stuff isnt really my thing"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
Maki burried her face in the pillow. She had let something so precious to her slip through her fingers.
She should have tried harder.
She should taken it more seriously.
She should have done a lot of things but it's too late now right?
No. Definately not.
If H!P had done one thing for Maki it was teach her that it aint over till its over.
Reina still wasnt answering her door. She might have gone out - nobody knew. Yankee's were expert escape artists. Maki sighed and started banging her head against the door.
"Cut it out" A monotonous voice spoke.
Maki stopped immediately and looked at Reina standing beside her a arm full of shopping bags and a key in her hand. She was too stunned to move, this wasnt the encounter she had planned out in her head. To tell the truth she hadnt thought of any logical plan. Damn love and it's ability to make you act irrationally.
"Move" Reina demanded in a cold voice. It was scary to hear her speak like that when they were acting but now that it was all real it was down right terrifying.
Maki stood her ground. "Can you hear me out?"
"Get out of the way"
Reina took a step forward, standing up straight so she was at eye level with Maki. "It was all a bad idea. I thought even you would be able to see that. Let's forget about it and get on with our work"
She maneuvered herself around so she could unlock the door and avoid the obstruction.
The door slammed shut and Maki was sure she felt her heart break.
"Hey"
Maki shot 3 feet in the air. Eri was watching guiltily from her door way.
"...I didnt mean to over hear..."
Maki raised a hand to show it was ok. Eri nodded understandingly.
"Hey you like reading dont you?"
The change of subject was welcomed warmly by the eldest. She shrugged. "Yeah.."
Eri smiled and disappeared into her room, returning moments later with a small yellow covered novel in her hands. As she passed the book to Maki, she noted the charm the younger girl had that made anyone feel good again. In a way she couldnt explain, Eri shared a resemblance with Yossui.
"Keep it as long as you need it. I know Im a junior and all..but..it gave me a few ideas"
Maki glanced down at the book.
Relationships for dummies

Yuko had borrowed a spare room in the Musume apartment for the evening but unfortunately Aibon and Nono had come in a little later and used the room next to hers which ensured there was to be a lot of noise and distruption.
YAY!Wohoo!!
Me again?!Oh well...
Ok now go...
YAY!!!Wohoo!!!!
The same dialouge was heard repeatedly through the walls. To be blunt, it pissed Yuko off. She grmubled and whacked the table with her fist. She wasnt hung over, just very easily agitated.
She knocked on the door once and let herself in. Two red faced girls beamed at her sheepishly as they sat on the floor facing each other, a empty coke bottom seperated them.
"What the HELL are you girls doing to make so much noise?"
Tsuji held up the coke bottle. "Spin the bottle"
"You can play too, if you want" Kago laughed.
Yuko rubbed her temples. "No! Its a stupid game for kids"
The Kago shrugged. "Oh well...my turn"
She spun the bottom. It slowed to a halt facing her own knee. "So..I guess I have to kiss you again, huh?"
They giggled, puckered up and kissed. Yuko just watched in disbelief. "Wouldnt it be easier to jsut forget about the bottle?"
"It wouldnt be any fun then"
Yuko stopped trying to put logic into their brains. It hadnt worked in the past and it wasnt going to work now. "You know what...I dont care anymore, If anyone asks Im not responsible for how you two turned out..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She was an angel. A sleeping one. Her hair framed her perfect face and the perfect smile that tugged at her lips while she slept.
I wonder what your dreaming Rika-chan...
Yossui rolled onto her side, supporting her head with her elbow. She wasnt in the habit of watching people sleep. Only on special occasions.
"Mhmm..." Ishikawa's eyes flickered but never opened. Her breathing became shallow and panicked. Without a doubt, she was having a nightmare.
"Hey" Yossui called softly. She thread her fingers in with Rika's an squeezed them lightly.
The nightmare passed and the smile found its place on the angel's face again. Yossui leant over and kissed that smile.
"Mhmm"
This time she opened her eyes and returned the kiss, happy knowing she was safe.
"I had a bad dream about chickens" She informed Yossui, rolling away to rub her eyes before snuggling in closer again. "Was I snoring?"
"A little.." Yossui played with Ishikawa's hair. "..you're cute when you sleep"
"Is that so?" Was the flat reply.
"I was thinking about what you said today too..."
Ishikawa kicked herself. "You mean the baby thing? I didnt mean -"
"No its cool..."
"Really, honestly? I was hoping I didnt freak you out..."
Yossui took a deep breath. "Ok well honestly, it is a little weird. Im only just turning an adult and I already feel old"
"Like a married couple, right?"
"Exactly right.."
There was an awkward silence. Yossui felt as if she had done something offensive. "I think what scares me the most is that I dont mind...I like being a married couple...It makes me happy knowing I'll wake up everyday with you"
She held on tightly to the body in her arms so she was close enough to hear the reply.
"It makes me happy too"
And tada, we have crap!!
STILL MORE TO COME! STAY TUNED!
