Smile De Iko Issue 1

Smile de Iko
Chapter 1

The color pages at the beginning:
Girl: I want to be a nurse when I grow up!
Boy: I want to be a soccer player!
Teacher: Okay, the next is Fujiwara Emi. Emi-chan, please tell us what you want to be when you grow up.
(A girl with blonde hair with a sign on her that say Fujiwara Emi stands up.)
Emi: I want to be Miss World, the most beautiful woman in the world!
(Note: I'm not sure about this, if the words "Miss World" doesn't exist, blame my dad)
Someone: Emi! Emi! (A boy with blonde hair bursts into the scene.) Boy: Did you put the yogurt we bought today on your face again?
A bigger version of Emi turns around, her face is covered with yogurt.
Emi: What? Oh, Nao.
Nao: I knew it!
(He yells at Emi while rubbing off the yogurt. - What's the point, they can't eat it any more)
Nao: This is for eating, not for you to waste!
Emi: It helps my skin to be nice and smooth! Every famous actress does it, see? (She holds up a magazine, a woman with dark hair is on it. The head line reads: Secret to beautiful skin - try yogurt!)
Nao: Where do we have the money for that? I don't believe some one like you could be the president of the student committee. The people who elected you must be retards.
Emi: what's wrong with "someone like me"? Nao: Someone like you overestimate yourself just because a few peoplesaid you look cute. (Baby cute) You even want to become Miss World, ha!
Emi: I didn't over estimate myself! Narration: Once when I'm still young, I watched a trial for Miss World. I promised then that I would stand on that stage one day. The bright lights, people's blessing and praises.[Emi is off to dreamland]

Someone: Okay! Finally done!
(A guy with a hat that has "Fujiwara Yuu" appears holding a bowl of ramen.)
Yuu: Yuu's special ramen! Come on! Come on! Taste this!
Emi and Nao: No thanks!
Narration: How could I become Miss World if everyday is like this?
Arrow points to her: In the end, still have to eat it.
Later
Emi: I hate this! You make me eat weird ramen everyday! Hey! Are you listening to me? Don't just watch the TV!

(On the screen, is the woman from the magazine)
Emi: Ah! Koutama Mariko! Yuu: Her! Don't block the TV!
Emi: She's really pretty! You can't even tell that
she's already 33. And her figure is super, she deserves to be Miss Japan! I admire her.
Yuu: Stop it! I'll be embarrassed.
Emi: Excuse me, but why are you embarrassed when I'm talking about her?
Yuu: That's because...I'm planning to marry her.
Emi and Nao looked doubtful while Yuu continues
Yuu: Ah, I finally said it! How embarrassing!
Emi: Listen to me, you're already 24, why do you still daydream? SHE is a VERY famous actress, she couldn't possibly have time for little people like YOU!
Nao: Why is everyone in this family except me so weird? I'm going to the public bath...

Emi: Are you saying that I'm weird?
Narration: But, if I'm as pretty as Mariko is, then my life would probably be better.
Later
Emi: Ah that was nice! The public bath is okay, but I want to have a bathtub in our house. Right, Nao? Nao?
(Nao stares at something)
Emi: What's wrong? It's only a normal dresser...
Nao: Look, this where they put trash, right? So, they don't want this any more.
(They carry the dresser away with them)
Emi: Why do I have to do this?
Nao: Throwing away this dresser is a big waste, don't you think so?
Emi: But, it's way too heavy...
(A guy walks out behind her, she bumps right into that guy.)
Emi: Ahh!
Nao: Emi! (The guy holds Emi up. We can see that he is a very cute guy with dark hair.)
Guy: Excuse me, are you okay?
Emi: Yeah...
(Narration: He's so cuuute!) Guy: That's good. (He smiles VERY cutely.)
Emi: My, he looks cuter when smiling.
(The guy sees the dresser)
Guy: That dresser...
Nao: We saw this...
Emi: Bought...we bought this dresser. Why don't we hurry up and carry it home... (They run away with dresser VERY fastly.)
Guy: Hey, HEY!

(Narration: That guy is so cute! He also seems very nice. I want to see him again, but he probably knew that we are the kind of people who collects trash... Why can't my life be better? What is my problem?)
(Three guys saw Emi walking down the street.)
Guy: Ah, it's the president. Good morning!
(Emi turns around and smiles very sweetly to them.)
Emi: Good morning to you too!

All the guys blush
Guy: She's so cute!
Guy 2: Yeah, how pretty!
Girl: Her figure's good too.
(Narration: My look is perfect! Also, I'm the president of the student committee that everyone admires. Looks like my only problem is my family. A girl pops behind her. She has dark hair.)
Girl: Why are posing?
Emi: H...hi!
Girl: Emi-chan, every time you daydream, you always pose like a model. Like when you got first in the cross-country team, when we went on fieldtrips, the best one is the class picture we took in kindergarten. The only kid who can pose when they were in kindergarten is gotta be you. (The background has three pictures to go with the stuff she said.)

Emi: Why do you have to remember that well?
Emi: Hey, what's with all the people?
Girl: That's the results for the last test. I know that you got first even without looking.
Emi: Of course! I have to get good grades if I want to be Miss World! But Nao wouldn't let me go to a private school, 'cause he thinks it's too expensive.
Girl: Are you sure?
Emi: Of course! Now, let me see the scores. Score board reads:
1. Mizuno Hikaru C 479
2. Fujiwara Emi A 473
[Note: There are more scores, but not important]

Girl says wow while Emi is shocked.
Emi: Who is that person that's beat Fujiwara Emi? Girl: You didn't know? He transferred last week, kind of cute... Oh, there he is!
(She points to a guy.)
Emi: Which one?
(In her view, stand a blonde hair guy and the dark guy from before.) Blonde: Mizuno, you are good.
Dark: I'm just lucky.
Narration: He looks so familiar... (Flashback: Guy asking "Are you okay")
Emi: AHHHH!
(Emi screams and points at him)
Hikaru: Huh? It couldn't be...You are the one who stole my dresser!
Emi: !!
Blonde guy: Stole...
Dark guy: a dresser?
People: Hey! Stop making things up! She wouldn't do that!
Hikaru: Looks like people BELIEVE you very much!

(Emi runs outside grabbing Hikaru.)
Hikaru: I didn't expect to meet you here, dresser thief!
Emi: WHAT!? What did you mean "Dresser Thief"? I took it home because no one wanted it.
Hikaru: Who said no one wanted it? That dresser is mine.
Emi: What? Hikaru: I'm moving my stuff, so I put it outside. When I wanted to bring it inside, you took it.

(Narration: Then, I'm really a thief? Everything is over... If the teacher knows I'm a thief, I can't become Miss World, and people will call me a thief my whole life. I shouldn't have wanted to see him again so badly.)
Later, after school
Girl: Emi-chan, you don't look good since morning, are you okay?
Emi: I'm fine, it's just I'm tired. I'll go home now.
Narration: The only good thing is, we don't have the same class.
(She walks out the room and there stands Hikaru.)

Hikaru: Hi! Dresser Thief!
Emi: Don't call me that!
Hikaru: What can I do, I don't know your name.
Emi: It's Fujiwara Emi
Hikaru: Then, Emi. I have to ask you something.
Emi: Ask me...something?
Hikaru: I want you to get this man for me.
Emi: GET THIS MAN!? Are you kidding me?
Hikaru: I can't tell you what really happened, but this man bugging my mom.
You don't look like a high school student, so...
Emi: You gotta be kidding! I'm not going to do anything like that!
Hikaru: Really?
Emi: Dream on!
Hikaru: But, I thought only beauties can do it... (Emi was leaving, but turns around immediately when she heard that)

Emi: I was just kidding!
Hikaru: You will agree, right?
(Narration: I...I can't refuse!)

Later, at a coffee shop
Hikaru: That man will meet my mom in this coffee shop. Please remove or distract the man before they meet...
Emi: So I have to make sure they don't meet?
Hikaru: Yup!
Emi: Which one is it?
Hikaru: The man sitting next to the window. I'll leave everything to you...
Emi: Yes sir...

Narration: Distract a man? How am I suppose to do that? "Sir, drink something with me" sounds stupid... What if he's an ugly person?
(Hikaru throws something at her)
Hikaru: Hurry up!
Emi: Alright! Alright!
Emi: Excuse me! I have to get you outta here!
Hikaru: Stupid!
Emi: What?
(Her eyes widen, the guy is...her brother!)
Yuu: Emi-chan, why are you here?
Emi: YUU!?
(Hikaru falls to the ground. The dark haired lady walks into the shop)

Lady: Sorry for waiting Yuu. I finished work early, so...
Emi: Koutama Mariko!?
Hikaru: Mom!
Yuu: Mariko!
Mariko: Ah, why are we all here?
Narration: Wait a minute! The person that was bugging Hikaru's mom is Yuu?
And Yuu is waiting for Koutama Mariko? What's all this about?
Emi and Hikaru look at each other
TO BE CONTINUED... (GOOD NE!??!)
