A Pink Valentine (IV) - "Final Preparations"

A Pink Valentine (IV) -"Final Preparations"

"Sooo... how did it go?" Mirai asks the other two girls as they gather on the rooftop, checking to see how far they have progressed in their valentine plan.

"I have already figured what I would do for Jonah, and I am halfway done, what about yo.........," Hope pauses.

"Hmm, that's the first time you are starting the conversation, Mirai, you look nervous, like you are hiding something, is there something you want to tell us." - Hope.

Mirai looks down at her feet, silently cursing herself for not being able to keep her mouth shut. "What d-o-do you mean I-I am ac-acting we-ir-weird, this is how I act normally."

Grace also noticed that Mirai was acting weird.

"Yeah, you are right, she is quite chatty today, very unusual, and not Mirai-Like, something is definitely wrong here." - said Grace.

Hope and Grace interrogate Mirai till she finally gives up and reveals the truth.

"A-Ar-Are you serious, Mirai? Did that really happen, or are you joking? Please tell us the truth; I need to know- Hope.

"Wooah, I didn't know you were that bold, Mirai; you even gave him a rose; I need to borrow some of your courage, damn girl. - Grace.

" I a-am not joking, Hope, I confessed to him in the park garden, a-a-and we hu--age-gugged. - Mirai

" You what? " - Hope

" She said "They Gugged," what does that even mean, Mirai, speak English, so we understand. - Grace.

"WE HUGGED" - Mirai shouts.

Grace and Hope standstill, they were surprised to hear Mirai's loud voice for the first time, but they were more shocked by what she had said.

Yo-you hu-hugged him, are you serious? " - Hope.

" Hope, you seriously need to stop asking her if she is "serious or joking," Mirai won't be lying about something like this; she isn't that type of person. Instead of questioning her, we should celebrate. - Grace.

" Ce-celebrate? why are we celebrating? - Mirai.

"What do you mean why are we celebrating? You finally confessed and Takumi said he likes you also, that calls for celebration. " - Grace.

" Yeah, Grace is right, we should celebrate this; how about we get ourselves gifts for valentines day also. - Hope.

"You just want to get a free gift, don't you, Hope? I see through your tricks, you witch, hahaha. " - Grace.

" Haha, you caught me, but I think we should celebrate ourselves." - said Hope.

Hope and Grace look toward Mirai and asks, " What do you think? Do we celebrate ourselves during valentines day?

Mirai looks at them both and shyly responds, "Yes, I think we should"

"That settles it then, on valentines we should all bring gifts for each other." - Grace.

The bell went off, and the girls returned to classes until school was over, and they all had to go home.

Grace returned home and rushed to the kitchen; she wore her apron and began baking; she felt overjoyed by Mirai's news, and the only way she could express it was by baking.

She had been practicing baking for 3 days, and it felt like she was finally getting the hang of it; even if it didn't taste perfect, it was an improvement from her previous attempts.

Grace didn't show it to her friends, but she had burnt herself several times while handling the oven; she didn't want to worry them, so she wore long sleeves.

She finally finished baking, and it was the moment of truth, would they taste horrible? or would they taste good?

She grabbed one and took a bite.

Grace began to cry as she tasted it, "It is delicious," she said, "I have finally done it, I did it right this time, and it doesn't taste funny."

Tears of Joy rolled down her eyes as she finished the whole batch of cookies; she finally achieved what she wanted.

" Now I have to perfect it so it becomes the best cookie, I want it to be perfect. "- said Grace.

Grace gets back to baking and hums a happy tune as she does.

In her room, Hope stared at her childhood pictures with Jonah, she couldn't believe how many years she had known him, and now she was finally about to confess her feelings.

"I can't believe it has been 18 years since we became friends, and two days from now, I will confess how I fe-feel to Jo-Jonah. - Hope says shyly.

Hope buries her head in her pillow and starts rolling on the bed laughing; she can't hold her excitement.

Mirai looked outside her bedroom window; she couldn't still believe what had happened the previous day.

Every time she remembered, she began to blush and get excited.

"Ahh, I wish Valentine's day would come already; I want to hug him again," - said Mirai.

She blushes as she finishes her sentence.

She sleeps early, still excited but wanting to get to the next day faster.

There were only two days left till Valentine's day, and the whole city was preparing and putting up posters and banners to celebrate.

The restaurants prepared for the many couples that had booked their dates, and the chocolate and flower shops were already delivering their products to their customers.

Two days had passed, and Valentine's day had finally come; the city was colored pink by the decorations on every building, and everyone seemed to be wearing a pink-colored cloth.

It was finally the day everyone had been waiting for, especially three girls named Grace, Hope, and Mirai.
