A love thing once created.... An invincible school life!! Love x Love Complex.... Pafechikku! (Parfait Tic! = French for Perfect!) - Page 1- A scary smiling masked-face shouts, "A friend of good children, this masked marauder is here to visit!!!" Masked-person asks, "Are bad things happening?" The children watch anxiously as their hearts pound. The masked girl runs after the children and shouts, "Attack!!!"* The excited children disperse, yelling, "KYAAAAAAA!!!" -Page 2- A foot slips with a sweak, and a body falls unceremoniously to the ground. The children look back, "Ah!" "Fuu-chan!!" The masked-monster lying on the floor mutters, "Uuughh...." Kids running, "Fuu-chan, are you okay?" "Fuu-chan!!" A girl smiles mischievously with the mask drawn up, "Wha-at?" -Page 3- The girl resumes running after the children, yelling, "‚‚‚‚‚‚, right?"* Such a peaceful blue sky... Approximately 50 households live together in harmony here at Sweet Heights (Apartment Complex). But from now on my peacefulness will end. A voice asks, off-panel, "Fuuko-chan, that's a popular thing, right?" Little boy exclaims, "Mama!" The blond woman laughs at her son, "You've been saved, huh?" The little boy reaches for her hands, "Maaamaaa!" The brunette woman next to her laughs, "Really. My Aya prefers Fuu-chan more than her own teachers." -Page 4- Brunette lady, "There's no need to send the kids to a daycare." Blond woman laughs, "That'd be expensive, too!" Fuuko, getting tickled to death by two kids, "Uuuwaa~ Me--a daycare center?" ::But this hidden talent is not very painful.::* ::Tomorrow high school begins, where life will be dictated by studying and grades.:: A large moving truck pulls up. Fuuko, "Ah!" She turns back to the children, "Those who complain a lot, go over there!" The kids play along with her, "Okay!" Fuuko looks back at the van. ::After all this time, a newcomer has arrived?:: -Page 5- A light-haired boy steps out of the truck. Fuuko stares. (He's got the classic, cool, distant, chic anime guy look ^_~) Fuuko's eyes light up, "W-WOOOOOWW!!!" Fuuko thinks, drooling now, ::He's the confused type!!:: Little girl, sweat-dropping, "Fuu-chan?" -Page 6- The "confused" guy talks to a mover, "Take those to the second floor." Fuuko's positively ecstatic, ::He must be moving into the apartment above mine!!:: Fuuko voices, as the guy turns to give her an ever-so-cool look, "Um...excuse me..." Fuuko, totally genki, "Nice to meet you! I'm Fuuko from the Kameyama residence on the first floor!!" "Since you've had little experience moving in, it must be a confusing job! Let me help you!"* The guy, looking totally nonplussed, ".....Yeah.....thanks." Fuuko, surprised, "Huh?" ::He must be a shy person!:: The kids walk up to the guy as he heads for the stairs, "Oniiiiichan!" -Page 7- Kids, "Oniichan, do you need help moving in? Ne, oniichan?" The guy totally ignores them. Fuuko, ::Eh?:: Fuuko looks surprised as the kids keep on yelling "oniichan" while the guy doesn't answer. She's totally outraged now. ::What's with this guy?!:: Fuuko pulls on the guy's arm, "Wait a sec! Why don't you stop to talk with the kids! What about their feelings?"* As she pulls on his arm, the package he was holding falls on the steps with a crash. The guy's eyes widen. Fuuko, "Umm....." -Page 8- The box is opened to reveal a cracked cup. Fuuko freaks out, ::Destroyed? Kyaaah!:: The guy closes the box, "Why....YOU......." The guy yells at Fuuko with a look of doom, "IDIOT!!!!" (okie, what he really says is "‚‚‚‚‚" which I'm guessing should mean the same thing) -Page 9- The guys stomps up the stairs as Fuuko & the children crouch at the bottom. ::Why? Why is he so upset? There are so many other cups out there!* You can get one or two or three or four or....:: Fuuko and the children are crying from the encounter. Fuuko, "Such a scary voice, too, right?" "Yeah!" The child besides her sobs. A voice whistles from behind Fuuko, "Wow! Checkered cotton panties!" -Page 10- Fuuko turns around wildly and grabs her skirt. A guy with spiky hair, wearing a band-aid on his face smiles up at her, "I like 'em!" "What kind are you gonna wear in the future?" Fuuko looks back at him, scared and embarrassed. The spiky-haired boy pats a sobbing girl on the head, "Only bad brats cry." Fuuko is astounded, "Don't say that! She's crying because of that guy!" She points up the stairs. -Page 11- The boy laughs, "So this is because of Ichi?" Fuuko whispers, "Ichi...?" The spiky-haired boy picks up the little girl, "Well then!" And then tosses her in the air, "Wheee!" Another little girl tugs at his pants, "Oniichan, me too!" Fuuko stares, "What the?" A little boy, "Me three!" -Page 12- ::This guy....this guy....:: The boy exclaims, as the kids collapse on top of him, "Hey that's over-doing it a little." The children tickle him, as he falls on the ground laughing, "Gya ha ha ha ha ha!!!" ::What is this guy doing? He's just like a kid, himself.:: The boy catches Fuuko's eye, "Oh." He stands up, "Okay, that's enough. It's time to go back to your mother, kids." Fuuko bursts a blood-vessel, "What?!? Mother?!?!?" "Huh? Your style's different from other young mothers."* Fuuko majorly freaks out, "You don't understand! I'm only 15!!" "Over there is Eri-chan's apartment! I'm just doing this for a little exercise!"* -Page 13- The boy inquires, "Ehhh? Are you doing that for me, or for their welfare? Which one?!"* Fuuko is totally aghast at the boy's straightforward neuroticness, "Gyahh!" The boy gives Fuuko a big grin and says, "Really, your disposition's too lively!" She notices something on his cheek and zooms in......it's a big KISS MARK!!! Fuuko, "AHHHH!!!!" She jumps backwards, pointing to the boy's cheek, "A LIPSTICK STAIN!!!" The boy rubs his face with his sleeve. "Eh? Seriously? Oh, it's probably a love-mark from Nee-chan's make-up." Fuuko's still shocked, "!!" -Page 14- The boy, still smiling, "What will the neighborhood wives think, ne?" "Chances are I won't get more than one kiss from them that way."* Fuuko imagines housewives and schoolgirls looking at the boy coyly. The cad still rambles on, "That would be a blunder, right? They would never seriously do it, then." Fuuko, very unnerved, "Psych....psycho!" A mover calls from the upstairs landing, "You're Shinpo-san, right? Where should I put this furniture?" The spiky-haired boy looks up, "Ah, I'll be right up!" But before he leaves, the boy turns around and blows Fuuko a kiss, "See ya!" "I've got a request for you. Next time wear flowered panties." Fuuko turns to stone, remembering that the boy saw her checkered underwear! -Page 15- The neighbors yell, "Wow!" (They're really saying, "ƒTƒCƒb[ƒb[ƒe") A sympathetic voice asks, off-screen, "Aw, those two will be all by themselves?" There's a shot of a box of goodies. (Rita thinks it's ice cream or something ^_~) Ichi watches resolutely, as the spiky-haired boy rubs his neck, "Well, we're both cousins actually." "Dad wanted us to enroll in the same school together. And Mom's in China right now so we're both living together for now."* Old lady with the box of goodies, "Ohhh....that's too bad." A woman pops up next to her, as Fuuko peeks in from the doorway, "Eh? You're starting high school, then?" Spiky-haired boy, "Yeah, tomorrow's our first day at Nyugakushiki South High School." Fuuko, in the background freaks out, "WHAT?!?" Old lady, "Well, well." -Page 16- Old lady, "Do you have a minute? I want to introduce you to Fuuko." Spiky-haired boy looking excited, "Oh really?" Fuuko, "No waaay!!!" The two older ladies approach Fuuko, "Let's all go and greet the new neighbors." Fuuko, freaking, "EHHH?!?!?" Lady with the glasses, "Yeah Fuuko, let's go!" Fuuko, yelling, "Stop it already!" Lady with glasses, "What's this? Hey, you all can go to school together, too!" Fuuko, "I don't want to meet them! Absolutely not!!!" ::What kind of weirdos are they, anyway?:: -Page 17- The two Shinpo cousins and the older woman turn around to look at the source of all the commotion. Fuuko gasps, "Ah..." Spiky-haired boy looks up, "Oh, she's the really dangerous one." Fuuko sweatdrops looking at a sulking Ichi, ::It's that mean guy from before!:: The spiky-haired boy smiles, "Coolness. Let's go to school together then!" -Page 18- Fuuko's shocked at their sudden kindness. The Shinpos close their door as Ichi whispers something to his spiky-haired cousin, who says, "What?" Fuuko looks worried, ::I don't want to go to school with that scary-faced guy.:: (referring to Ichi) The two older woman quickly grab each others hands and start dancing, "Kyaaah!!!" Fuuko looks that the older women in dismay. ::Great, Mother's got a weakness for bad boys and she likes that evil spiky-haired Daiya now!:: ::Eh? No way! Ichi is the manga artist's favorite?!?!:: (Fuuko's mother is the lady with a wavy-haired ponytail and the mangaka is the lady w/ the glasses & paintbrush.) Fuuko, trying to interrupt their glee, "Hello....hel-lo?" -Page 19- ::Umm.....:: Long shot of Nyugakushiki South High, and then classroom 1-A. ::I should apologize for what happened.:: Ichi looks up at Fuuko as she nervously faces him. Turning her hear away, Fuuko pulls out the chair from the desk next to Ichi's. (They're in the same class ^_~) ::Uwaahh....how am I going to apologize to him?:: -Page 20- Students laugh in the background as Fuuko musters up her courage, "Um...." "Which class is Da-Da-Da-Daiya in?" Ichi, nonchalant, "F Class." (The lowest ranking me thinks) Fuuko, trying stay calm, "Eh? That seems to fit him, ne?" Fuuko sweat-drops as Ichi doesn't respond. ::Man, this guy's being difficult!:: Fuuko coughs, "About what happened yesterday..." -Page 21- Fuuko's hands are folded on her skirt, "It's about that cup...."* A picture of the broken cup. "Last night I was thinking..." "That box you were carrying in your hands...wasn't just another part of your furniture and luggage..." "It..." "It must have been very important to you." Ichi just stares off. Fuuko looks regretful, "And so... I'm sorry." -Page 22- On Ichi's side of the room, a group of boys chat in the background while conversing girls gather on Fuuko's side. Noticing no response from Ichi, Fuuko continues, "I'm so sorry." Fuuko, "I'm really so sor--" Ichi kicks Fuuko's desk, and the rest of the students in the classroom stop talking and laughing to stare at them. Ichi, with his head down, "It was nothing." "Just forget it, okay?" Fuuko's surprised. -Page 23- Fuuko scrunches her eyebrows, "You're lying!" And Ichi's left gaping at her! ::Really that guy is just....:: Two of Fuuko's friends approach her, "Ne, did you meet that guy with the cute hairstyle?" ::Ack, they know about Daiya, too!:: Fuuko smiles at her friends, "Who me? The one in the west wing?" (Punny I know ^_~) ::Gyah, I don't understand how those two are related!:: (referring to Ichi & Daiya) -Page 24- Fuuko's walking merrily through the hallways. "Ah, I almost forgot to bring that home. I'm glad I remembered." (me thinks she's referring to some school item) Fuuko glances out the window, "Yipes! It's starting to rain! I'd better head home quickly!" She glances at the empty hallway and smiles, "The beautiful smell of such a nice high school...." Fuuko shouts with her arms stretched, "Yay! I've got three more memorable years of high school ahead of me!" Fuuko starts giggling =D -Page 25- Fuuko continues to skip along, "There'll so much to do!" ::I should be brave! I must be brave!::* ::Ah! That's enough thinking for today!:: Fuuko whistles along. ::For once, I'm finally having fun!:: A voice mumbles, "Hey!!" Fuuko looks back into an open door. She spots a couple making-out! "Uwaaahh!!!" ::Gyah! This is incredible!::* -Page 26- Fuuko's eyes widen as she realizes who's the kissing couple. ::DAIYA?!?!?":: Daiya looks behind the girl's hair, shocked! -Page 27- ::I can't believe this! How could he move so fast at Nyugakushiki?:: Daiya waves his hand as he continues to kiss the girl. Fuuko's aghast, ::Eh? He wants me to come over, too?!?:: ::No, that's not it!:: Daiya's waving his hand to make her leave. ::Do I feel jealous?:: Fuuko turns into a cat and screams, "Kyaaahh!" -Page 28- Fuuko storms away thinking, ::I've already seen the worst!:: The girls looks up, "Eh? Who could that be?" Daiya looks to the ceiling for help, "Ah....um..." Fuuko's outside in the pouring rain, "They were at it with so much energy, too!"* Fuuko cries while thinking, ::Even the weather's making fun of me today!:: Someone walks up behind her, "Rain?" Fuuko turns, "Ichi!" -Page 29- "I'm really happy to see you. Do you have an umbrella with you? An umbrella?" Ichi doesn't even look at the grinning Fuuko, "Nope." Fuuko, "Ahh..." ::Great, I knew I'd end up walking home in the rain.:: Ichi's bag hits the ground. ::Eh?:: Ichi starts shrugging off his school-blazer, and Fuuko's taken by surprise! ::Eh? That's so nice!:: She pictures Ichi drapping his jacket over her head so she won't get wet. ::What's this? I knew Ichi really was a nice guy after all!:: Fuuko holds up her hand, blushing and smiling. -Page 30- Ichi gives her a questioning look as he holds his jacket over his head, "Huh?" "Well, see ya." Ichi walks into the rain with his jacket, leaving behind a very shocked Fuuko. Fuuko's mouth drops as she watches Ichi walk away, "What?!?" -Page 31- Fuuko sniffles, "I hate it!" ::The peaceful blue sky has become ugly.::* -Page 32- Fuuko remembers Daiya kissing that girl, and Ichi walking off with his jacket. She runs off into the rain, crying. ::I definitely hate those two!:: There's a picture of Ichi's broken cup glued back together. ::Everything was fine until they came along.:: ~continues in Step 2~ [Edited by Shirl]
