Fangirl (a Liza story)

 4/25

I've been really blown away by the warm welcome I've received since I started capping. I wasn't sure if people would still be interested but its been amazing how many views and comments I've got. It is infectious and motivating and while I still have 5 or 6 caps to finish writing for this season, I've already started pencilling in ideas for season 5. Thank you so much.

Today we have the resumption of Aiko's story, courtesy of a new friend. As always, all my Aiko stories are listed in order on my story index tab.

Liza refreshed the webpage despairingly but once the pixels had finally reloaded, the same blog post remained at the top of the screen. It was futile. Aiko hadn't posted anything new in nearly four years, it was foolish to think she may have posted in the last four seconds. Oh, how she missed the stories and pictures of candy addicted boys squirming in humiliation under pink petticoats and stockings, but there had been nothing in so long – not even a goodbye. Even Aiko's usually inseparable best-friend, Nishi, seemed to have transformed her online presence into some kind of seedy webcam girl. It made her so sad.

She scrolled down the page and noticed a link she had never seen before. Allowing her cursor to hover above the word, she pondered the possibilities. If Aiko's blog was inactive then surely this was inactive too, right? Probably, but...what if it wasn't? Then that would mean...she had to know. Her heart pounding, Liza double-clicked on Aiko's webstore...

When the package eventually arrived with its Japan postmark, Liza felt overwhelmed with surprise and relief. Her older brother Shaun was the obvious test candidate for the goodies inside and even though she was not yet blessed with the tremendous assortment of kawaii outfits and accessories that Aiko had seemed to have at endless disposal, she more than enjoyed watching him strut and pout in selections from her own wardrobe. Getting him hooked on the candies had been easy. She had just left the heart shaped sweets in a bowl on her desk. Shaun was always sneaking around and going in her room and before long he had come knocking on her door glistening with sweaty regret.

“Please, please let me have another one already!” Shaun was trembling and fidgeting with the ruffles of his dress. Despite being two years older, in the last hour the balance of their relationship and shifted forever and Liza knew that from that day forward he would always struggle to meet her eye.

“Stop messing!” Liza looked out from behind her camera, “or we will need to change your outfit again. Believe it or not, I don't want your makeup over all my clothes.” Shaun looked stung and rubbed his stockinged knees together in an attempt to suppress his raging hunger for more candy and the wrathful tongue of his little sister. Liza felt a pang of sympathy. “Just one more pose, okay?” Almost automatically, Shaun bent his knees and pushed his butt out while pursing his glossy lips over his shoulder. “Perfect!” She snapped off a picture and reached into her pocket for the candy hearts, finding it empty. “Oh dear, they're all gone. I am afraid you will have to wait until my restock arrives. That is, if I deem that you have been well-enough behaved. After all, I have big plans for these candies.” Shaun nodded and tottered demurely out the bedroom as Liza flicked through the plunders of their photoshoot on her camera. “Big plans, indeed,” she smiled. They wouldn't be enough to catch Aiko's attention, but they were a start. If she was going to bring back Aiko, there was going to be many more prissy projects left in her wake. Maybe she should have ordered more candy...
