Chapter one- Meeting an old friend.

Hello there!

After reading these cool fan fictions here. I decided to write one myself. So this is my first fanfic. I may not be the best writer but I tried to put in all of my emotions in this. Hope you all like it. I know it is short but I'll try to make longer chapters from now on. I'm really looking forward for this chapter. I have tried my best and hope to do my best in the upcoming chapters too. Please tell me what you think of this. I' come back with the next chapter very soon and will not make you wait much longer to start reading.

Please read and review! Positive and negative views are welcome. Tell me what I'm doing wrong and help me become a good writer.

I don't own Yumeiro Patisserie.

It had been years since they met last. But some things in life never change.

She had lost contact of them in this race of life or rather of her accomplishments. Losing contact was like losing a part of her heart not a small one but a big part. She wanted to see them or precisely him. To touch him once again, to feel his warmth and to drown in those caramel eyes. How she longed to make him hers but would he like it? To have her by his side or had he gotten himself someone. Someone better than her. She knew she was not perfect. She tried to erase this doubt but it settled itself in the core of her soul. But somewhere deep inside she sort of knew that in these years he might have developed feelings for someone. How she wished to have confessed her feelings to him. But the fear of rejection bugged her. He was, well, annoyed by girls. If she confessed he would think of her like the others. She wanted to forget all these thoughts and focus on her life now. It was nearly impossible but she somehow managed. After all, she was great at doing miracles. She had now grown into a beautiful lady with waist length brown hair, and kind eyes with ladylike features. She was super successful, being the number one patisserie in the world with her top notch talent. But somewhere deep inside she was not happy. She always had that heart brightening smile on so it was impossible to know her true feelings. After graduating she went to Paris while others went their separate ways. She opened her own shop in Paris. It resembled her shop in Japan. But even in this city of love, she was not able to find her true love maybe because she already had given her heart to someone. As she was battling with her thoughts, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Ichigo-Chan!"

She turned to look at the source of the sound.

"Rumi-Chan!"

The brunette was shocked and surprised to see her best friend in front of her in Paris. In so many years, for the first time she had witnessed somebody other than her family to come to see her in Paris.

"I missed you!"

the orange headed lady jumped at her. "Me too."

She hugged her back.

"You've not changed at all" she said as the orange head looked at her, smiling brightly.

"But may I say that someone has become a Paris mademoiselle." The lady smirked. "How are you?"Ichigo asked her. "Great! I'm here to tell you something even nicer."

"Oh! What may that be?"

"Right now it's a secret."

"Ok then!"

Ichigo started putting her stuff away as it was time to close the shop. She asked her, "What did you come all the way here for?"

"Well that is the secret. And to see you…. I can't believe that I'm seeing you after 5 whole years. All of us went our different ways. Team Ichigo disbanded…."

The brunette was forced to see flashbacks of all of them working together. She came back to reality by Rumi saying,

"Sorry, It must be hard for you."

"It's okay, Rumi-chan." Ichigo said with one of her smiles.

"Anyway, Where are you staying, Rumi-Chan?" The brunette asked her.

"I don't know actually." Rumi said, sheepishly. Ichigo let out a sigh before saying, "You can stay with me."

The Ladies after closing the shop went to Ichigo's apartment. It was a few blocks away from her shop. It was a normal apartment, fit for one person. It somehow had a spacious kitchen and a balcony. One could see all of Paris from the balcony as it was on a higher floor. They both took a shower and Ichigo made dinner. After cleaning the kitchen, the girls got ready for bed. As they lay on the bed, Ichigo broke the silence of the night by asking her, "Is everybody doing fine?"

Rumi nodded as a yes and went on to say, "Everybody misses you" with a sad smile.

Ichigo, for the first time in 5 years, felt kind of homesick. She had grown used to her life here in Paris but she sometimes had that urge to go back and meet everyone. She missed them. She missed her times as a member of Team Ichigo. She went on asking her about everybody back at Japan.

"What was the secret you were talking about, Rumi-chan?"

"Oh! That! I completely forgot." She jumped off the bed and searched her bag.

After a few minutes, she came back with an envelope in her hand and a big smile on her face. She handed the envelope to Ichigo. Who, by this time was sitting on the bed.

"What is this?"

"Open it! Open it!" The orange-head said.

She opened the envelope and read, "You are invited to Rumi and Takuya's wedding..."

"I'm getting married!" Rumi said happily.

"You are…WHAT?!"

Next chapter will come out soon. Please read and review. Oh! And by the way, you can call me Mayu-chan.

Bye, Bye!
