It was the next morning. A lovely Saturday, my favorite day of the week. Although the one thing about it that wasn't lovely is that I was awoken by some fool rapidly ringing the doorbell.

"Ughh... WAIT!!" I yelled as I quickly got out of bed and rushed to open the door.

"WONDERHOY!!!" Emu screamed in my face when I opened the door. Nene was right next to her, and she didn't look as lively.

I gasped in shock. "Wha-- How do you two know where I live?!!"

"Let's have some fun girl time together before we do our show today!" It was almost like the energetic, pink haired girl didn't hear my question. Oh well.

So I let the two of them inside, and showed them to my room. "What did you guys want to do?"

"Maybe we could do eachother's hair! Or go to the mall? Fun girl things!" Emu said as she sat down on my rug.

"Where is Honoka?" Nene asked timidly.

"She's probably still asleep, I'll go wake her up." I quickly walked to Honoka's room and opened the door. "Honoka, wake up! Emu and Nene are here, and they wanted to have fun girl time together with us." I informed her.

She sat up almost instantly, "What's fun girl time?"

"Doing fun girly stuff together. Come on, they're waiting in my room." I forced her out of bed and pulled her over to my room by the wrist.

When I opened the door to my room I saw Emu playing with my phone. "These are your texts with Rui? You love him, right? Why don't you tell him? It would make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside!" She exclaimed as she started typing a text to him.

"Hey, don't do that! I'm not in love with him." I snapped at Emu. I very much believed I didn't like him like that. But the truth was, I was in denial.

Nene took my phone from Emu's hands and closed the texts. "Yeah, Emu. She's only known him for a little more than a week. But that doesn't mean that they aren't good friends."

Emu looked very disappointed. "Aww... but wouldn't it be so cute if they were in love? They might have five kids, a big house, and a kitty named Bernie!" She squealed at the thought of those things happening.

"That sounds like a nice fairy tale, but I don't think any of it will happen. Life is unfair and unhappy most of the time." I sighed.

Emu's cheeks puffed out, and she looked upset. "Setsuko! You should dream big! Big dreams make for big smiles! I want to make people smile and laugh just like Grandpa did!"

I stopped feeling bad for a moment, "Just like your grandpa did?" I wondered if all of WonderlandsxShowtime had the same goal.

"Mhm!" Emu had a smile on her face again. "Grandpa made Phoenix Wonderland to make people happy, happy, happy! Grandpa used to own Phoenix Wonderland, but he's gone now... I want to be able to bring smiles to people just like he did!" She looked determined just thinking about her goal.

"Your family owns Phoenix Wonderland?! You must be rich!" I exclaimed in shock.

Nene smiled. "Yeah, her family is pretty rich."

A thousand questions about what it was like being rich started to fill my head. "Do you live in a big, big house with lots and lots a room? Is there a big, big table with lots and lots of food?"

"Mhmm! I could take you to visit sometime! Wouldn't that be wonderhoy?" Emu replied. She then started looking around and noticed my sketchbook. "Ooh! Are these your pretty drawings?" She began to flip through it and she was amazed. "You draw so beautiful! Can I draw a kitty-cat in here for you?" Her pink eyes seemed to sparkle.

"I would like that." I answered. Then remembered all of the things Hara drew for me in my sketchbook. I missed her so much.

Emu scurried around, getting pencils and colored pencils to draw me a cat.

Honoka was staring at Nene's thick, light green hair. "Could I... braid your hair? I think your hair would look really nice that way." She asked her politely.

"You can if you'd like..." Nene smiled and blushed.

Honoka was busy giving Nene two pretty braids, Emu was drawing me a cat. But what was I doing? I was thinking about how stupid I was, and the fact that I was lying to myself that I didn't like Rui.

"Emu, should I stop lying to myself?" I asked her out of nowhere.

She looked up from her drawing. "You shouldn't lie to yourself! Just tell the truth and you'll feel better, even if the truth isn't very good."

I sighed. "Alright, well what if I do love Rui? Then what do I do?" I was genuinely worried, he was a very strange boy. On top of that, my mother had already made a comment saying he looked gay.

Honoka and Nene both looked up at me, "Oh no..." they muttered at the same time.

Emu gasped in joyful surprise, her eyes got all big and her smile wide. "Then that's super-duper wonderhoy! You should tell him, RIGHT NOW!!" She shouted happily, and reached out for my phone.

"WAIT--" I yelped, just as my phone dinged because Rui had texted me, asking if I had wanted to be in a show. I told him yes, that I did.

"Did you tell him how you feel?" Emu asked while she tried to catch a glimpse of the texts by looking over my shoulder.

I raised one eyebrow at her. "No... he asked me if I wanted to be in a show, I said yes."

Nene smiled. "It will be nice doing a show with you."

Emu's eyes were filled with tears. "Please tell him you love him, PLEASE!" She begged whilst hugging me tightly.

I tried forcing her off of me, but my efforts were pointless. "I'd rather tell him in person."

Emu's eyes lit up and she let go of me. "ちょっと待って！You should bake him cookies, and give them to him after the show! Then you should confess your love for him, and you'll get married!!"

"Bake him cookies?" I, Nene, and Honoka all questioned at once.

"Yes! Everybody loves cookies!" Emu answered while she finished up her drawing of a cat. "I finished the drawing!" She held up a drawing of a cute little pink kitty.

"Aww, it's so cute!" I squealed. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, come on, let's go bake cookies!" Emu grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to the kitchen, Honoka and Nene slowly followed.
