A/N Sorry for the late update for this story! I write my stories on my iPad, because I don't have a computer and iTunes deleted EVERYTHING on my iPad ;^; all my stories gone AGAIN. From here on out, I don't think I can promise my quick updates anymore, for I'm having family issues and it's just sucky. Also the reason my chapters usually end in sleep is because my writings heavily reflect my mood. Since I usually write at about 2AM my mood is usually " SHUT UP AND GO TO BED" so sorry about that. Also I haven't been in the mood to write and/or the opportunity and I have has wifi problems as well, soooo... Yeah.
Day Four: Four Calling Birds
"Ne, Maki, Honoka just called me and asked if-" Nico was cut off by said girl's phone ringing.
"Speaking of the devil, hello? Yes, Honoka. Um.." Maki stopped and looked at Nico while giving a thumbs up and a thumbs down with a quizzical look.
Nico gave a thumbs up.
"Sure I'll be there. Right, see you at twelve, bye" The red head hung up.
It was 11:36 and it would probable take about ten minutes to get to the café Honoka had asked the two to meet her at.
The first and third year got ready to depart while making small talk.
They had originally planned to go out again, so they were pretty much ready to go.
On the way out they slipped on their shoes and had finished talking so they were just enjoying each other's presence.
At 11:53 the two girls had arrived at the café, and upon entering were greeted by the scent of coffee and and overly energetic Honoka waving them over.
"Hello, Honoka. How are you?" Nico greeted once they were in ear shot.
"I'm fine how is NicoMaki?" Honoka asked.
"Excuse me?" The twin tailed girl added, "What did you just say?"
"Nozomi! Rin, Hanayo and Eli are here as well!" Honoka waved them over as well, ignoring Nico.
"Hm? Where's Kotori and Umi?" Nozomi asked their leader.
"Oh, Umi isn't feeling well, so Kotori is watching her."
Everyone held some small talk on catching up on what they had done so far and got settled in.
"So why are we all here, nya?" Rin asked.
"Oh! I decided for us all to get together so we could... So we could... Uh" Honoka scratched her head and looked up at the ceiling.
"Don't tell me you forgot!" Nico exclaimed.
"Of course she did. We could of done something else too" Maki sighed.
"Oh, so this is interrupting NicoMaki?" Nozomi asked.
"That's the second time one of you has said that! Why?" Nico questioned.
Eri shook her head and replied, "It's something called 'a ship-' Eri stopped short as a hand found it's was up her thigh getting a yelp of surprise and a flustered face from the Russian.
Everyone looked curiously at Nozomi, who had an innocent face resting on her palm, but her hand on Eri's side, under the table.
"A ship? Wait you mean like..." Something clicked in Nico's brain, and she exclaimed, "A SHIP NAME?! WHY?! Why do we have a ship name?!"
The composer looked confused, and Nozomi replied "We have a ship name, because-"
"Um, you know Hanayo and I are busy actually and we should probable head on over to go do... The thing. Bye, nya!" Rin grabbed Hanayo's wrist and ran out of the store.
You'd think she would yell "Save me!" But in the shop Nico looked dangerous.
"Because" the miko started again, "we ship you."
"What's a ship?" Maki asked.
"According to Nozomi a ship means something like when you want person A to get together with person B. That means you ship them." Honoka answered.
" That's the gist of it." The spiritual girl confirmed.
"Wait... So you guys..."
Maki may be an honor student but sometimes she's just painfully slow.
Said girl's eyes finally went wide in understanding and her face started blending in with her hair once again. She then yelled "W-WHY IS THAT A-A THING?! N-Nico and I-I a c-couple?!"
Maki went quiet and tried to regain her composure.
After about ten minutes of shipping talk they had finally moved on to something else.
Or slightly different...
"Enough about this so called NicoMaki! What about you two?! How about.." Nico paused to think about a good shipping name, but before she could Honoka said, "Nozoeri"
"W-Why would you have a-a ship name for u-us?!" Eri asked.
"Same reason as you two have a name for them." Honoka replied.
' Yeah but those two are actually together.' Nico and Maki thought.
"Oh! Look at the time!" Nozomi exclaimed. "I need to be at the shrine in a few minutes, sorry but we need to leave!"
"We should get going as well, Maki."
Everyone split the tab and went their separate ways back to their houses and what not.
Honoka on the other hand stayed at the café a little longer.
'Nozomi and Eri are sooo close. It's amazing they aren't dating! Rin and Hanayo are pretty close as well. I'm sure the four of them will get together soon. Maybe they already have, and they just haven't told the rest of us. Kotori and Umi already are together thanks to my little push, hehe, but Nico and Maki.'
Honoka frowned a little bit and scrunched her face up in thought.
'Nico and Maki are close, but dense as crap. They need a shove, but it can't be obvious! Ugh how am I going to get those two together before Christmas?! Well, Nozomi said leave them alone... She said she has a plan... Oh well.'
Honoka finally got up and left the café to go to her own home trusting Nozomi could do it.
A/N I have NO inspiration... *sigh* but hey! It didn't end in sleep! Well... Hoped you enjoyed.
