Chapter 31 - Pie Fights: That's How Friendships Start Ya Know!?

''Hey! Where are we going?!''. Momo shouts trying to catch up to the group. ''The Annual Bakers meet!''. The kids shout. ''What the hell is that?''. Momo asks.

''Hey, Language''. Togata warns. ''It's an annual event where bakers come to show off their goods, like a competition, and you can try any food you want from any stand. It's expensive to get into, but Togata volunteered to pay for all of the children''. The sister says with a smile as they are admitted into the event past some security who stop Momo as she doesn't have a ticket.

Togata pays for her and they enter the event with bake stands everywhere all selling their goods.

''Woah so all of this is free as long as you're in?!''. Momo asks. ''Yeah! but we aren't here for this, we're here for the Pie Fight!". A boy shouts. ''What?''. Momo asks. ''To end the event they do a pie fight for fun, as you can see the kids are overly excited about it''. Togata explains.

The kids run off immediately as she sister still chases after them.

''So you just like spending money on orphans? What makes you feel good?''. Momo asks sarcastically. ''You can think whatever you want, just enjoy yourself and stop being so sour''. Togata says with a smile.

As the day goes on Momo just keeps watching Togata. And Togata notices her staring

''What is it this time?''. Togata asks.

''Uh huh, I'm starting to think you planned all this when I said I'd follow you today''. Momo says. ''Right. You've been with me the whole day, Ever seen me get on my phone once?''. Togata asks.

''Pssh you could pull some strings rich kid''. Momo says.

''What's you're deal anyway? Why the hell do you dislike me so much?''. Togata asks.

''It's your damn face''. Momo says arms crossed. ''My face?''. Togata asks confused. ''Yeah, and that know it all, I'm better than you attitude''. Momo replies.

''And what do you mean by that''. Togata asks. ''The way you treated people in school? The way you walk around all high and mighty, Is that how you make friends? like that?! Ohh I'm an orphan so sad, but I'm such a good guy I donate all the time and I'm so pretty don't you just love me?''. Momo says mimicking him.

Togata just stays silent. ''Not to mention that fake smile and mask you put on, we can see right through it you know?''. Momo says.

''Just shut it, you don't know how it feels''. Togata says offended. ''I don't know? You do know I'm basically an orphan too, I was raised by my grandmother''. Momo explains

''What?''. Togata says surprised. ''Yeah but you don't see me flaunting it, you're not the only damn orphan you know so suck it up and deal with it like the rest of us''. Momo says as she starts to walk away.

''Just take off the damn mask and be yourself dude''. Momo says.

Well I'm done for today, I've seen what I have to''. Momo continues as she walks away.

Togata just stands there mouth wide but puts his head down thinking about what she said.

''Hey!''. He calls out. ''Yeah what?''. Momo says as she turns around, Suddenly a pie is thrown straight into her face. The watching crowd gasps.

''You know what? You're right, thanks for the reality check, but you don't know me and what I've done just to get here. I've been surrounded by adults all my life, having to act like them so excuse me if I don't know how to act around people my age, I've never had friends before thanks for reminding me about that''. Togata explains.

Just cause you can say something doesn't mean you should you loud mouthed bitch. It's called being a damn adult. Wanted me to be the true me huh? Well there it is, have a nice day''. Togata says with a sarcastic smile as he walks off.

''Ya damn bastard!''. Momo says as she picks a pie and throws it at Togata. Togata just turns around and catches it throwing it straight back into Momo's face.

''Ohhh Pie Fight!''. A man screams as the whole bakers event is thrown into absolute pandemonium, pies fly left and right everyone participating in the battle. Meanwhile Togata just continues walking away the pies seemingly flying past him. Momo is furious as she picks up a pie and runs straight towards Togata who is unaware.

''Here eat some pie it will make you feel better!''. Momo shouts as she jumps on him smashing the pie into his face.

The 2 fall to the ground. ''Get off me!''. Togata shouts as they struggle. ''You better take that back!''. Momo shouts back. ''Over my dead body, get off I don't want to hurt you!''. Togata replies.

''Huh hurt me I'd like to see yo..''. Momo says as she is cut off by Togata overpowering her and pinning her to the ground. ''Let go of me ya idiot! I'll kill ya!''. Momo says as she struggles. ''I'm not going to stoop to your level and hit a girl so stop struggling!''. Togata shouts. ''Oh now I'm a girl!?''. Momo shouts back.

''What is your deal lady!?''. Togata shouts. ''It's your damn attitude even now you're worried about hurting me after all I said!? You're lying no one's that nice!". Momo shouts. Togata sighs. ''Can we just talk like sane people!?''. Togata asks. ''No! Get off me!''. Momo says shouting. ''If I do you'll punch me''. Togata replies as Momo kicks her legs wildly.

''You're damn right I will!''. Momo shouts back. ''Can we just negotiate!?''. Togata asks. ''No way! You're gonna take back what you said''. Momo shouts back as she gets one of her hands free a smacks a pie dead in Togata's face.

''Momo, I swear if you throw another pastry at me I'll...''. Togata says as he is cut off by Momo throwing one straight at his forehead. ''Heh, what you gonna do now pretty boy?!''. Momo grins.

''Aww remember when we we're like that?''. A couple say as they watch the event unfold. ''What a cute couple''. The woman says. ''Get lost!''. Togata and Momo shout. The couple leave sensing the tension.

Togata wipes off the pie with his sleeve and grabs a pie from the floor smashing it into her mouth. ''Here have some dear!''. Togata shouts as Momo eats a mouthful and starts choking. ''Huh?! Wait I'm so sorry!". Togata shouts picking her up and doing the Heimlich maneuver to clear her throat.

Momo coughs out the pie and starts panting. Togata pants as well exhausted and worried ''You ok?!''. Togata asks. ''Yeah.. thanks''. Momo says. ''No prob...''. Togata replies as he is cut off by Momo kicking him straight in the nuts and jumping on top of him smashing pies in his face.

''Ha! Don't drop you're guard thought you were smarter than that?!''. Momo shouts in triumph. ''You dirty cheat. You were dying!''. Togata shouts in pain. ''All's fair in love and war bastard''. Momo replies. 

''You're a damn barbarian!''. Togata shouts as the 2 continue to struggle. Suddenly everyone disappears but they don't notice. 

3 Men walk up to them. ''Greetings''. One says. ''Leave! Can't you see I'm busy!?''. Momo shouts still throwing pies at Togata. ''Hmm, It seems the girl with psychic powers is now alone, this is the perfect time to complete our mission''. One man says.

''Indeed, activate the awesome zone!''. The second shouts.

''What!?''. Momo and Togata shout finally looking over.
