*Disclaimer – I have nothing to do with Marmalade Boy, though I wouldn't mind having my crush live at my house…close enough though, he lives around the corner, and we're good friends…just thought like telling you all that, hehe. Don't sue, or get angry, just please read and review, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!!!! Yay, I can't wait, 4 more days, and 3 till Christmas Eve. Anyway, enjoy chapter 2.

Oh, *…* is the thoughts of the people that the paragraph's point of view is from. Sorry if all the words are clumped together again, I'm still working on that…

It was 4:15 and she and Yuu were in the car heading to the mall. It helped that they didn't have to be secretive about the Christmas planning since their parents were on vacation for a week in Hawaii. While it helped with Christmas, it made things much more uncomfortable at home with just Miki and Yuu there. It left things open for possibility…but then he didn't like her, so it was probably only the possibility of Yuu having a girl over. Come to think of it though, Yuu hadn't had any girl over in a long time…weird.

The two walked into the mall and were immediately greeted with "Christmas". All the colors were red and green, they had Christmas trees out, and everyone seemed to be in an anxious but festive mood, including Yuu and Miki. She went into a bath store and got the mothers lotions and soaps, while he went into the electronics store for the fathers. It took Yuu about twice as long as Miki, and when he finally emerged, he had to search for her.

Glancing into a prom dress store, he noticed someone who resembled Miki, trying on a full length lavender gown. Standing behind her, Yuu just stared. By then he had figured out that it was Miki, and he just couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. She was gazing at herself from different angles in the big mirror, and it took her a second to realize that Yuu was standing behind her. When she did though, she turned, with a crimson face, and shyly asked if he liked it. He nodded his head vigorously, but then remembering his "cool", and said that he thought it looked ok. Yuu could see how crestfallen she had become with his cold remark, and cringed, never wanting to have to witness that face again. He walked over to the dresses and started thumbing through. Yuu picked out a red asymmetrical one, with tendrils of fabric hanging off, and a black dress gathered to an empire waist, with the bottom's top layer cut down the center and fluttering away. He walked over to Miki and informed her that since they did have to go to a few Christmas parties, she should probably get a new dress, and with that he pushed her into a dressing room calling out that she should show them to him. Yuu had purposely chosen out some of the prettiest dresses for the prettiest girl, and he could hardly wait to see how they looked on her. Miki walked out in the red dress and Yuu let out a sigh. *She was just so gorgeous and he wished that she was his. *

He commanded her to turn around, and when she did, his response was a simple "hmm".

"What, you don't like it?" Miki responded with hurt shining bright in her eyes.

"Of course I do, it looks really great on you", he candidly replied…"I just want to see the black dress too."

She came out a couple minutes later in the long black gown. Smiling sheepishly up at Yuu, he beamed down.

"I'm sure Mom will pay for it, she told me to help you find a new one anyway. I think that's it. What about you?"

Miki simply nodded, her eyes shining. The moment she had seen the dress she knew it was "her's".

They bought it and Yuu decided that it was time for dinner…since he was hungry. They headed off to go find a restaurant. He wanted it to be perfect of course, and so after asking her where she wanted to go, and getting an "anywhere is fine" reply, Yuu decided to take her to his favorite place.

Miki glanced around as they entered a traditional Japanese eatery. The exquisite attention to detail was worth staring at for hours but before she knew what was going on, Yuu had gently led her to the table and had ordered for both.

Glancing at his watch, Yuu gave a worried look and suggested they get going. As it was only 9 o'clock, Miki wondered what was going on. *Are we going home so soon? I can't believe this evening is already over, I had such an amazing time, and Yuu actually seemed to enjoy himself.* He lead her outside and soon they had arrived at the next stop. A crowd was gathering around a large Christmas tree, and immediately Miki knew what they were doing. They went to join the people, and soon the countdown was on. "…8-7-6-5-4-3-2—1 Happy Holidays everyone!" *It's so gorgeous. I can't believe I'm standing here with Yuu.* Miki looked up to see a shooting star, and she made her wish…of course if I told you what it was, it wouldn't come true, but be assured, it had something to do with Yuu.

They slowly walked back to the car, both not wanting the evening to end. When they did get home, Miki thanked him for treating her to such an enjoyable day. Yuu looked down on the love of his life.

"It was no problem. Tomorrow we should probably get some wrapping done."

She agreed and they said goodnight. Once asleep, both dreamt of each other.

Well what do you think??? I hope that you enjoyed this chapter, I was kind of writer-blocked, but hopefully the next one will be easier. Please review, it means a lot. Oh, and I'm working on an original story that the first chapter should be up soon. Not to mention the fact that I want to do a Gilmore Girls fanfic, so keep on the lookout-all of my friends are gone or busy for Christmas (we aren't going anywhere, and no one is coming to visit L ) so I'll probably write a lot. Talk to u later!
