[For those of you interested in Action, Makoto is at the Bakery, giving hr usual cooking lessons. Except today, she sees a bit off, as if distracted. She speaks to herself, so those of you just wanting Voice can reply as well

Comments

[Action] - I was just thinking I wanted to interact more with her, are you psychic??

[lukanightfever]

[Luka is at the the cooking lessons of course, she has a lot ot recipes that she needs to put in practice so she needs those. She notices the teacher distracted but doesn't say much until she hears her talking to herself.]

Has it been your birthday, Miss Makoto?

[Action] oh snap my secret is out

[most_talented]

[Jerks her head a little, looking at Luka]

Ah! ... I was talking loudly, huh?

[Action]

[lukanightfever]

Uh... Sorry, it wasn't that loud I was just listening too much. [Lying to take blame.] I'm sorry I was eavesdropping.

[Action]

[most_talented]

No, no, it's okay! I don't mind... And if you wanted to know, well, yeah, today is my birthday.

[Voice]

[floralprophecy]

Happy birthday, Miss Makoto.

[And you're getting the most beautiful bouquet of red roses delivered to your doorstep since you mentioned before that they are your favourite.]

[Voice]

[most_talented]

[... WHY MUST YOU BE GAY I LOVE YOU SO FFFFFF]

Thanks, Labrador...

[Voice]

[floralprophecy]

[Sorry, Makoto, but he can't help being pretty-pretty and ga-, I mean effeminate.]

You're welcome, Miss Makoto. I hope you have a wonderful day today. i shall have your present delivered to your residence shortly.

[Voice]

[most_talented]

My present...? Oh, you didn't have to get me anything!

Action

[oda_hates_me]

[he's in the bakery as well, being a complete genius in the kitchen because that's how he rolls, but he catches Makoto-chan's mumbling and that sets him off]

It's Makoto-chan's birthday?

And I assure you that you are anything but an old lady to me~! ♥ [grins at you] Would you like me to make you something? A cake, perhaps? Anything you'd like!

Action

[most_talented]

[Kyaaa blush blush, small flail of the hands]

It's okay! You just got here, I wouldn't you to over work yourself, Sanji...

Action

[oda_hates_me]

Nonsense! I couldn't call myself a chef if I got overworked in a kitchen.

It'd bring me joy to be able to make you something, Makoto-chan.

Action

[most_talented]

Well... As long as it's not a bother, I guess.

[themoonuplifts]

[It's a good thing Usagi marks birthdays in her calender, or she would forget. It took a good week to get Makoto the perfect gift, but she succeeded. She enters the bakery, the bell atop the door chiming.]

Makoto! [She realizes there are others in the bakery, and that she's probably busy with all her students, but Usagi figures she can take a quick break. She wanders over to the kitchen, and motions for Makoto to come over, the small jewelry box hidden behind her back.]

[most_talented]

Huh?

[Looks over, and sees Usagi. She excuses herself, and begins walking over.]

Hey, Usagi. Are you trying to get in as a taste-tester again?

[themoonuplifts]

[She shakes her head sharply, her grin widening.] I came here to give you your present! [She holds out the plain jewelry box to Makoto, starting to bounce a little in place. OPEN IT OPEN IT OPEN!]

[most_talented]

[Gasps! Blush! And maybe wibbling a little.]

Oh, Usagi... You didn't have to...

[S-l-o-w-l-y opens it... have a happy sigh, gently touching the necklace.]

Oh, my... It's so beautiful...

[gomugomunopwn]

Boyfriend? Ah, you must mean "date" right?

[most_talented]

I need to make sure these things are closed before I open my big mouth...

Yeah, pretty much...

[gomugomunopwn]

Those are a lot of fun!

Why don't you just ask someone!?

[most_talented]

Ah! Well, um... Some guys don't like girls who are too bold... I want to make sure a guy is interested in me before I try and ask them out!
