Well, hello minna-san~, How are you?

I'm back with a little 2-shots MaiNat story since Mai-chan's birthday is here! Hooray!

But let's see... What are they planning for real?

hehehe~

Disclaimer: I don't own Mai-HiME...Damn~~~

"Hey Mutt, do you have anything to drink? I'm thirsty," Nao said as she was lying on the couch with the game controller in hand.

"Well, yeah..." replied the bluenette, who was sitting idle on her armchair

"Go fetch it, then!"

"As if...I ain't moving an inch from this armchair and the current," she placed her arms behind her head and closed her eyes, enjoying the chilly air coming for the A.C

"Are you serious, Mutt? It's your apartment, you should bring me something!"

"Oh what are you talking about? You're like my sister and it's like you live here, so..." Natsuki said with a smirk on her face.

"Argh fine! I'm going," she pressed the button for the game to pause and she was about to get up when Natsuki spoke.

"Oh bring something for me too, with extra ice cubes!"

"As if! We're gonna settle this!" The redhead said as she pulled a coin from her pocket. "Heads or tails?

"Tails," she flipped the coin into the air and let it fall to the ground.

"Haha! Off you go!" Said the navy-blue haired girl victoriously as she saw that the coin was tails.

"Darn it! I'm not going!" Nao replied angrily as she sat down on the couch again.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Really guys, very mature of you," Mai came in with two glasses of ice-cold tea.

"Hey, don't look at me; you know I can't stand the heat," the bluenette said as her girlfriend handed over her glass and sat on the armchair next to Natsuki.

"Yeah right...I wonder how you'll handle the beach tomorrow," the oranged-haired girl wondered.

"I'll handle it, don't worry," the biker replied somewhat coldly and Mai was taken by surprised.

"I'd like to see that!" Nao mockingly said.

"Shut up, Spider!"

"What's that?" Nao yelled and glared daggers at her "sister".

"You two, stop! I don't want the apartment to be like it was run through by a tornado when I get back!" Mai cut in.

"Where are you going?" Nao turned to look at the girl.

"I'm going to do some shopping with Mikoto."

"Wasn't she sleeping somewhere?" Asked Natsuki as she was playing with her straw.

"She woke up an hour ago and we were both in the kitchen, if you two hadn't be lazying in here you would have noticed!"

"Natsuki, you've been closed in here a whole week! Why don't you two go for a walk or something?"

"No, thanks," she replied again with the same way she replied before and Mai stood there, stunned.

"W-Well...see you two later," she said a moment later when she saw Mikoto waiting by the door.

When the door of the apartment closed, Natsuki ran to the door and stuck her ear close to it so she could hear.

"Ok, she's down the elevator," she said and went back to take her cellphone from the armchair.

"So, did you call everyone?" She asked as she walked to her bedroom, Nao following close behind.

"Yes, although Akira and Takumi are in Kyoto, so they're not gonna make it," replied the shorter girl.

"Well, I know, I spoke to him when he called Mai this week," Natsuki murmured and walked to her drawers.

She unlocked one of the drawers and started searching inside of it. "And is everything alright with Suzushiro's villa? We can do the party there, right?"

"You know, I went through Hell to manage this but thank God Yukino is an understandable person. I had to get to her to convince Haruka," she had her phone on her hand and was texting a message to her old roommate. "Chie and Aoi are already there, preparing."

"Ok then, everything is set out," the older girl said as she pulled out something from the drawer and placed it in her pocket.

"Yeah, you own me a big favor after all this," said the redhead, smirking at her best friend.

"I know but I'm really thankful for what you did," the bluenette moved closer to the younger girl and hugged her tightly.

"Ewwww! Move, move! No emotional huggies and stuff. I have a pride you know!" Nao said, struggling.

"Shut up."

After long hours of walking around and buying things for tomorrow's trip, Mai and Mikoto were going back, both eating some ice-cream by Mikoto's request.

"So, Mikoto?" The older girl tried to start a conversation with the younger girl and hopefully get some information out of her because she had a bad feeling that everyone, even Natsuki had forgotten her birthday.

After all these years together, or maybe it was all in her mind, they just wanted to keep it a secret. 'Maybe..' she thought bitterly, remembering Natsuki's cold replies.

"Hm?" The cat-like girl said absentmindedly

"Do you know about any plans tomorrow?"

"Plans?" The black-haired girl turned to her, confused.

"Yeah, you know, if the others are planning anything...?" Mai asked awkwardly.

"Hm...I don't know..." Mai sighed. It was as she thought. But after a couple of minutes, Mikoto shouted happily.

"Oh yeah! Nao said something about a party!"

"Party!" The orange-haired girl shouted too in surprise. "What kind of party?"

"With cake and lots of food!" Mai facepalmed. 'It's really hopeless...'

They reached the building were Natsuki's apartment was when the sun was almost down. Well, more like Mai and Natsuki's apartment, since she had been living here for five months. Since the new year's night it took Natsuki a whole month of begging to convince Mai to leave the dorms and move in with her, and they had spent five whole, happy months.

And now that her birthday was here, Natsuki didn't seem to even remembered it. She had been idle, sitting in the apartment for a week and more and she was also acting cold sometimes. But now that Mikoto said about a party, that means that the others might have prepared something. She didn't care at all if they didn't throw a party for her...'But do you remember my birthday, Natsu-chin?'

They got inside and entered the elevator were Mai hit the button to the seventh floor. Mikoto had a happy smile plastered on her face. 'Well, more than the usual,' Mai thought.

When they reached the seventh floor and the elevator doors opened, Nao stormed in and linked arms with Mikoto.

"We're leaving. Go get some rest Mai, because we'll get up early tomorrow."

"Oh, O-Ok," Mai said, looking at them in susprise till the doors closed. She shrugged her shoulders and got to the apartment door, pulling her keys out.

"So did you told her what we were saying?" The redhead asked coyly.

"Hm!" Mikoto shrugged closer to her girlfriend.

"Well done," she said and rustled the other girl's hair. She pulled out her cellphone and wrote a quick text message.

"So what would you like me to do for you?" She said with a smug grin on her face.

"Ramen..." She raised her head and grinned. "...And maybe a kiss."

"Hehe, I guess we have some time for ramen," she said and leaned towards the other girl's lips when the elevator hit the first floor.

The apartment was completely covered in darkness when Mai entered. 'Where is she?'

"Natsuki?" She called out as she walked through the darkness.

"Mmhere," came a muffled response from their bedroom. Mai walked to the room and entered. She saw the navy-blue haired girl hugging her pillow as she always did with her. Also the biker was only in her underwear, also something common.

Mai smiled and started undressing to wear the shorts and t-shirt she was wearing as pyjamas. Natsuki didn't seem to even move.

When Mai finished dressing, she walked over to the bed and laid down next to Natsuki, who had her back turned to her. She just remained in silence for some minutes looking at the ceiling until she felt Natsuki turning around to look at her.

"You know, Mai? I shouldn't be telling you this right now, as it's supposed to be a surprise, but we are planing a big party tomorrow..." Mai's eyes widened in surprise and joy. 'So, she DOES remember after all!'

"You know, it's nice but you shouldn't have..."

"What are you talking about? After all, it's been like a year since we last saw Midori!" Natsuki said.

"M-Midori's coming back?" Mai asked in surprise.

"Yeah, isn't it great?"

"Yeah...it is...So, the party tomorrow is for her?" Mai asked in a low tone.

"Of course, who else would it be for?" Natsuki said and turned her back on Mai again and hugged her pillow.

'Yeah who else...'
