Jealously is hard to swallow…

But death is harder…

XoxoxoxoxoX

Amu turns the corner quickly, me clutching onto the arm rest taking in a deep breath, "Oh God sorry" she said, taking her foot off the gas pedal and onto the brakes "that turn always gets me" she said with a hint of guilt in it.

I looked out the window a bit seeing the river that was next to the road, my breath hitched, but forced myself to ignore it, "It's cool" of course I lie "thanks for driving me I'm not really surprise, my mom had one of her dog show competition things, on the day of my interview"

"New routine ?"

"New routine" I said answering her question sighing and rolling my eyes while she laughed.

Of course who wouldn't laugh at a woman in her mid 40's in mini skirts, dancing with a dog for a competition in front of an audience, then posting it on the internet, ha funny, no it's the least bit funny.

"Anyways, I promise I'll get my license, and I'll do all the driving"

"No, it's fine Rima

"I'm serious this time!"

"I believe you" she said pushing her long pink bangs out of her face, I know she thinks I'm going to chicken out again, I love her for not saying it out loud, I mean she can't really blame me riding in a car still freaks me out.

We were almost there, I had a interview at the amusement park 'Land of Enchantment' for my new summer job "You sure you want to do this?" Amu asked. I stared at the sign overly smiling princesses, and the overly cute animals waving there animatronics arms sickened me, even as a kid I really didn't like coming here- the crowds, two minute rides, that were never worth the wait. But Kusu-Kusu loved everything about this place, not because of the rides she just enjoyed laughing at everything, and everyone there, Dad used to say he never seen a pair of twins who looked at the world so differently.

I shuddered, it's been 10 years since Kusu-Kusu died, 10 long years of her ghost haunting me, just coming here is like asking for her to appear and show me something that would scar me for a pretty long time, or short time. I can still do this even if Kusu-Kusu is in the background talking her head off, I can still do the interview with no problem, but I'm very convinced to tell Amu to put the car in reverse and go home, but sadly I'm being stupid today.

"I've kept my mouth shut for awhile now, but I do know is that your working here to watch after your boyfriend and your boyfriends best bud, who happen to confess to him while being drunk" bull's-eye

"I have total trust in Kirishima-kun [my boyfriend] and Utau" I totally lied

"Uh huh, Rima, state the truth your just scared to leave Kirishima with Utau-Chan, so you got a job to make sure there is distance isn't that sort of, I don't know stalkery ?"

"Stalkery? Really Amu? Since when spending time with your boyfriend become stalking?" Amu gives the are-you-kidding-me-look

"ok your right, them being together drives me nuts, but can you blame me?"

"Rima, this is so not you, you never chase after a guy, besides Utau-Chan isn't bad at all she is really nice"

"Your saying that cause you probably have a thing for her brother" Ha! I just burned her!

"No" she blushed "You know what go do your damn stupid interview" ah Amu you were always easily flustered

"Ha-ha! I got you!" I said teasing her

"Yeah, yeah" she sticks an ear bud in her ear "I have to listen to some songs the try-outs are tomorrow you know, and I haven't choose a song " I heard the sound 'Defying Gravity' from Wicked

I walked off " Working at the fast-food joints would be better than here" I heard her say I laughed so true.

XoxoxoxoxoX

Alright I am in the managers office, Mr. Yamamoto, now 'calm down Rima, all you have to do is convince him that's all you got to do' "So… Rima?" I nodded "why do you want to work here" well saying I'm stalking my boyfriend making sure that his best friend that is a girl, that went bitch over night [may I add] does not make a move on him, oh that will surely get me job, heavy sarcasm in use, big time.

"Well I use to come here all the time when I was a child, and loved it so much"

1st lie

"Oh really?"

"Yes really, it has been my dream, to work hear and put a smile onto a kids face one that will last all summer"

2nd lie

Mr. Yamamoto beams "I am so happy, that we were able to affect you, that's one of my favorite things working her"

Don't roll your eyes, Don't roll your eyes, Don't roll your eyes, Don't roll your eyes, success!

"Is there a special memory you can share?" oh god, why did he have to ask this question

"Um…well when I was like what…5 I was …crying, because I was to scared to go on the … Hansel and Gretel haunted forest ride"

Epic, complete, lie

"Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around and it was…" ah shit "Snow White!"

Another lie

" She said 'Don't worry sweetie, I'll go on with you' and with Snow White I knew I could do it, and since that day, Snow White has always been my favorite princess"

She sticked it! And land it!

"That was beautiful" Good Lord, get a grip man! If I wanted to see a grown man cry I would have… actually I wouldn't even know what to do. He grabbed my hand "Snow White is my favorite to, I think we have a spot for you seeing as you wrote down character actor" he smiled

I remember what Amu said when I told her about the character actor thing she laughed and said I can be one of the seven dwarf 's, though she considered Grumpy (that pissed me off, and I left her, and had the whole day she was following me laughing and saying sorry at the same time), I at least hope that that's not what he is thinking.

"Even though your some what short" some what? "and have blond hair, we can get you Snow White, but sadly, not everyday we want all the workers have a chance at different things"

I nodded "that's cool, thanks" oh I wanted to throw up

"So all you have to do now is go to team coordinator- also my wife, Mrs. Patty" as he said 'my wife' it was like flowers were blooming in the background and everything went kira-kira up in here, I'm scared "I'm suffocating, this atmosphere is going to kill" I muttered trying not to place my hands over my throat, as if I was actually chocking.

"I'll be taking my leave now" as I left the office, and Mr. Yamamoto in his little … fantasies

XoxoxoxoxoX

I rather be back with the kira-kira flowery atmosphere, cause wear I'm at right know, is scary terrible- pink and fluffy, with stuffed animal heads, and hoofs hanging off the wall- "My god" I mumbled as I looked at the woman in front of me, platinum blond hair, -extensions no doubt - that were curled at bottom but, didn't go well with her real already thinning hair, she had penciled on eyebrows that were way to high up from where there supposed to be, and one of her fake eyelashes crooked, and her skin looked like she has never put on sunscreen on once in her life, or has she heard of sunscreen before? Hmm, well then, ahem, to put it short: I just walked into Barbie's dream house, and Kent took up a new hobby -hunting and stuffing dead animals- and I just met Barbie my self, and the years have not been kind to her, no matter how bright her smile is. (Be-Bee: harsh much Rima?)

"So…um…I'm here to get fitted…for…*cough* Snow White" it was really awkward, at least for me, and I regret coming to this place that is being ran by a insane, loopy, married couple.

"Of course sweetie, my daughter will take you "

I sure feel bad for that kid

"LULU!"

I think my eardrums just got popped

"LULU!"

I was about to say, I would look for her myself until a tall girl -at least to me tall- with blond hair curled at the end, with a blue tank top shirt that stopped mid-thigh and she had shorts that stopped a bit before her knees

"What is it Patty" she said annoyed, Patty flinched, but regain her composure

"This is Mashiro Rima, can you be a doll, and show her the costume room?"

"Sure" she said grimacing

"My god, this is going to be a long day"

XoxoxoxoxoX

We were now in the costume room, and me and Lulu , have already know a lot about each other, Patty is actually her step-mother, and she is in the choir with Amu, we also have some similarities, both of are mothers are possibly insane, we both dislike this amusement park, and we both like Amu!

"Here we are let's get your costume… where the hell is it?" she said looking around "I'll be right back" I smiled "k" as she walked out of the room, I threw the dress that I hid behind my back to the side.

The room got colder "Kusu-Kusu, what do you want?" there in front of me was a transparent 7 year old girl her long straight blond hair that I was always jealous of looked wet, as she ran in a circle arms straight out "I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight" she stopped the song, my heart sank, "Come on Ri-Ri sing with me" she had her arms wide open hoping for me to run into her arms "Kusu-Kusu… I don't like your visions, please don't show me them" she frowned her eyebrows furrowed, I tried not to get her mad, if she got mad it would lead to something blowing up. She stomped her feet her body becoming opaque (can't see through ) as she stomped water came dropping on me, the coldness felt like ice hitting my arm as it felt like it was burning and tingling, from the cold. "Kusu-Kusu you want to see me dress up, like we did when we were younger, with Amu" she stopped a bright smile appearing on her face, as she swayed side to side, the purple tutu floating from time to time. I took in her look she had the same clothes on the day she died her favorite thing to wear, the purple tutu, the dark purple, orange polka-dotted tights, with yellow rubber rain boots, a white tank top, that was shrunk in the washer showing her naval, a jean jacket that was splattered in old paint and make-up that we used to paint the walls in with a tear-drop shaped tattoo under one eye and a star under the other, of course I painted that there, and she painted one under my eyes except opposite sides.

I stopped myself before I started to tear up "Which one do you want me to dress up in?" I said, I reached out for a dress only to have her cold and clammy hand grab mine "Shit"

XoxoxoxoxoX

I was in the middle of the woods now, there on the ground in front of me was a girl in a Snow White out-fit "Kusu-Kusu, get me out of here" there was no respond, I walked closer to the girl on the ground "Hey, you ok?" that was so stupid to ask, but she didn't reply, I walked up to the body, also stupid of me. I scream came from my mouth, my eyes widen as I stepped away from the body, the blood covered body i stopped for a moment taking this in, this isn't something Kusu-Kusu would show me. I sucked in a sharp breath and walked back to the body, bending over, the bodice was untied, the white blouse was spotted in crimson red, it was pulled off basically, showing where the blood was coming from, my breathing hitched as I grasped my chest. It wasn't just a stab wound, not even close, it was hole, right where the heart was, well suppose to be at least. I fell to the ground scooting away from the body, trying to process what was going on…

Blood, blood, and more blood… hole… in the chest… heart missing, I was hyperventilating, why would Kusu-Kusu show me this? "Kusu-Kusu! Kusu-Kusu! Stop the vision, please! Please! Please!" I couldn't take it, it was scaring me, I gripped my hair squeezing my eyes shut.

"Be careful Ri-Ri-nee"

XoxoxoxoxoX

"-okay?" I open my eyes to see amber eyes I stared unsure of what to say, at least until I realized I was on the floor "How I get on the floor?" I looked at the boy he ran his fingers in his long violet colored hair. I blushed.

"Well I heard a scream come from here, and then I found you on the ground, you ok? " he said

"Oh" I bit my lip, what was I suppose to tell him, I can't tell him that my dead 7 year old twin sister, just showed me a girls dead body, on the forest floor… or can I? no I can't he would probably send me back to therapist (Be-Bee: Explain later)

"Uh… I just got scarred…?" I said

" Well seeing as your sister just told me watch after you, I don't really think it's nothing" he said glancing in the direction Kusu-Kusu was before I blacked out.

"But how did you-" "How I see her, well your sister was probably the 42nd ghost I met since I started keeping track in 5th grade" I stared at him in disbelief

Wow this is one hell of a first day

XoxoxoxoxoX

Don't let it consume you,…you will truly regret it later…
