Finding you: Part 2*Sniff Sniff*
“What the hell are you doing?” Morita asked looking at Ando as if he had grew another head on that handsome body of his.
“Smelling…what does it look like.” Ando replied in irritation for having his so-called mission disrupted.
“You look like a lost dog.” Okada input with a soft laugh which earned him a glare from Ando.
Morita laughed and quickly walked away with Okada trailing along beside him. Ando shook his head and went back to his ‘mission’
*SniFf SnIFf*
He had been through the whole entire hall and had been receiving weird looks by the guests but he didn’t care. It annoyed him that he had smelt apples, fish, wood, roses, strawberries, grapes and even body odor which almost knock him out, but to his frustration, he didn’t smell GARLIC!!!
*BoOp*
Ando suddenly bump into something soft and the next second he heard a soft “ouch” and looked down to see a girl on the floor.
“Oh! I’m so sorry.” He apologized quickly and helped her to her feet.
“It’s alright…”she muttered, dusting off the dirt from her skirt and looked up at him.
He took one sniff and he smelt orange and was ready to walk away when she looked him in the eye.
“Garlic!” he exclaimed, pointing at her and she looked around as they had attracted some attention.
Blushing furiously, Zaza gave a nervous laughter. “Is that a compliment or an insult?” she asked and he smiled.
“NO no no…don’t get it the wrong way…I’ve been looking all over for you!” Ando said, taking her hands in his.
“Excuse me?” Zaza cocked her head to a side in confusion.
He leaned closer and took a sniff. “But you smell like orange now…”
“That’s because…I had help…”Zaza explained.
“You look beautiful tonight…”Ando said seriously and Zaza blushed again. “May I have this dance with the most beautiful lady here?”
Zaza nodded and he led her to the dance floor. “I’m glad I finally found you…”he whispered into her ears as he drew her closer to him.

Denden walked slowly to the side after looking through the crowd and couldn’t find the one that she was looking for. She leaned against the wall and sighed softly before closing her eyes.
After a while, she decided to head over to the buffet table and grab a few slices of cinnamon bread. She took herself a plate and bit into the bread daintily.
“Hmm….nice…but not enough cinnamon.” She muttered softly to herself.
“You got that right.”
Denden whirled around in surprise and her eyes widened as she saw who that voice belonged too. She almost drop her plate only to have him swiftly catch it with his hands and place it back on the table.
“Hello…”he said and she curtsied politely. “Somehow, I figured I would find you at the bread section.”
“Kind sir…who may I ask are you?” she asked.
“I’m Prince Inocchi….and what is your name?”
“I’m Denden….” She replied politely.
“Okay….now…enough with the formal introduction….we’ve actually met before…through bread if you believe it or not…”he laughed, his eyes disappearing into slits.
Denden nodded and gave him a small smile. She found him really funny and easy going, it’s like being with him brings you to this happy place where you don’t ever want to leave.
“Do you always pick you girls through the buffet table?” Denden teased and Inocchi laughed.
“Yeah….Miss Muffin, Miss Croissant…” he begin to tick off one by one with his fingers. “Oh…and not forgetting Miss Bagel…”
Denden couldn’t help but laugh at his silliness and found herself warming up to him easily.
“Anyway, off all the girls from the bread line, you’re the prettiest.” Inocchi winked at her. “Come, let’s dance….” He said, grabbing her hands before she could protest.
She stared at his hands on hers and started to blush. All her life she had never been in such close proximity with a handsome male. A weird tingling sensation went through her and she looked up at him when he politely placed her hands in his and started to dance.

Okada stood nervously in the middle of the stage, looking at some of his brothers happily dancing with their chosen partner. “Baka…why can’t you take a deep breathe and gather your guts…”he scolded himself.
“I can’t let my brothers do everything for me. I’ve to find her….I’ve to make the first move. By myself.” He muttered to himself as he hopped down the stage and made his way through the crowd, ignoring the flirtatious smile given by some of the girls.
Her eyes, had been appearing nightly, in his dreams, ever since he last saw her. His mind was filled with her graceful smile, her voice…everything. If only he could find her now.
“Where are you going?” Mabo exclaimed loudly when he whizzed past him, but he managed to grab onto Juinichi’s arms, stopping him.
“I’ve to look for her…”Juinichi admitted.
A smile of recognition appeared on Mabo’s face and nodded. “That pretty girl I helped you flirt with?”
Juinichi nodded.
“I saw her awhile ago…I think….she’s by the fountain….” Mabo pointed to the right and before he can say ‘Bye’ Juinichi was gone in a flash.
Juinchi stopped a few steps away from the girl who sat at the edge of the fountain, her fingers trailing the water.
He gulped down his nervousness and took a deep breathe. “Urm….excuse me…” he said but he got no reaction. Maybe he was too soft.
“Excuse me…”he tried again, but it was the same, she didn’t even glance his way.
He cleared his throat and took a deep breathe again. “EXCUSE ME!” He bellowed and not only did he get her attention, he got everyone’s attention.
He looked around and saw his brothers snickering and turned red. The girl stood up and looked at him.
“I remember you…”she whispered, her eyes widening in recognition. “You’re one of the prince….I met with my sisters the other day….”
Juinichi nodded.
“You’re the quiet one…”Pati added with a smile.
“Uh…I…well…” he stammered, scratching his head. “I’m not good at this….I get nervous around girls…” he admitted sheepishly.
He looked up and met her eyes and they both blushed. “Urm….Well….uh…would you like to dance?” he asked and held his breathe in anticipation.
“I would love too…”Pati agreed and placed her hands in his.
Juinichi almost jumped with joy but instead, he took her hands proudly and led her to the dance floor. He did it! He finally got the courage to talk to her.
“What the hell are you doing?” Morita asked looking at Ando as if he had grew another head on that handsome body of his.
