Ice Cream Shop

11:36AM

 

Mirai: I can't believe your interested with study groups.

Ryosuke: (nods and on his ice cream) Yeah.

Mirai: (eyed Ryosuke) You're suspicious.

Ryosuke:(moves a brow at Mirai) What?

Mirai: I knew it!

Ryosuke: What?

Mirai: You just want to see how I behave in front of Kamiki-kun!

Ryosuke: Why would I be interested in that?

Mirai: Coz you'll make fun of me eventually!

Ryosuke: (looks at Mirai) That's a good idea.

Mirai: Mou~ Yamada-kun!

Ryosuke: (looks at his ice cream) This ice cream is not helping my hunger.

Mirai: (stomach growls) Mine too.

Ryosuke: (briefly laughs at Mirai) Let's go eat somewhere.

 

 

Grill House

20 minutes after

 

Mirai: (keeps on putting meat on the grill) How did you know this place?

Ryosuke: (blows at the meat in his chopsticks) Uncle Toma would usually bring me here.

Mirai: Oh yeah, I wonder how's Toma-nii and Yoaka-sensei doing?

 

Meanwhile...

Yamada Residence

Living Room

 

Yuriko: (laughs while pointing at the tv) How stupid was that!

Toma: (sits next to his wife) Yuriko. Aren't you getting bored in here? We can go somewhere.

Yuriko: It's fine! (continue laughing at the tv) Look! Toma-chan! Look! (point at the tv) 

Toma: (tilt his head in disbelief) Uh! Yuriko!

Yuriko: Yeah?

Toma: What day is today?

Yuriko: Saturday.

Toma: Do you remember anything? (smiles at Yuriko excitedly)

Yuriko: Eh? No.

Toma: You need to remember!

Yuriko: (thinks) It's meat day?

Toma: No!

 

Back on the Grill House...

 

Ryosuke: (tilt his head) I don't know. He'll probably call later.

Mirai: (nods) (chews on food) Yum!

Ryosuke: (looks outside the glass wall)  Uuuh!!!

Mirai: Uhnn? (looks at Ryosuke) (looks at the glass wall) Eh? Umika-chan and Suzu-chan?

 

Outside, behind the glass wall stood Umika and Suzuka who are displaying a confused look at Mirai and Ryosuke. Suddenly a smirk grew in both girls' faces.

 

Mirai: (waves frantically) It's not what you think!

Ryosuke: They can't hear you.

 

Suzuka: (moves a brow) Let's go Umika-chan. (pats Umika) They need some quiet times together.

Umika: Hai! (smiles at Mirai) Ganbare Mirai-chan! Bye-bye! (follows Suzuka)

 

Mirai: Eh?! Umika-chan! Suzu-chan! Wait!

Ryosuke: I told you, they can't hear you. (continues munching his food)

Mirai: Not them too! Sakamoto-kun is enough! (puts more meat inside )

Ryosuke: Hey! You'll choke on that!

Mirai: (swallows) We shouldn't be going to places with just the two of us.

 

 

An hour  later...

Amusement Arcade

 

Mirai: (skips in the entrance) Yoohoo!!! 

Ryosuke: What happens to 'WE SHOULDN'T BE GOING TO PLACES WITH JUST THE TWO OF US" ?

Mirai: (waves from afar) Yamada-kun, hurry up!!! Let's play this one!

Ryosuke: (sigh) And it's supposed to be a study day. She'll be the death of me. (walks inside) 

Mirai: Let's get some arcade coins.

Ryosuke: You don't randomly get them, you buy them.And I've been paying everything. (keeps ranting) The two thousand nine hundred calories of ice cream you ate was paid from my pocket.

Mirai: (grins) Don't worry I'll pay next time.

Ryosuke: Oh, don't tell me we're doing this again.

 

 

Behind a pinball machine...

 

Umika: (whispers) Why are we following them?

Suzuka: To confirm the real score between them.

Umika: But I'm sure the one Mirai-chan likes is Kamiki-kun.

Suzuka: There's always a change of heart. Haven't you notice that they've really gone closer like they've known each other for a long time. They even arrives at school together and goes home together. 

Umika: Mirai-chan said they are neighbors.

Suzuka: Would neighbors be eating lunch together or go to arcade house like this?

Umika: (nods) You're right. But...Why do we have to bring him around? (points at someone at the back)

Shougo: (smiles) Coz I know some of the details.

Suzuka: Yeah. We'll have to bare with a nuisance for now.

Umika: Okay. If he can really help.

Shougo: Nuisance?! You stole me away from Kamiki and now you're telling me I'm a nuisance?

Suzuka and Umika: Ssshhh!!!

 

Two hours later...

Umika: (yawn) Tell me what's the point of doing this?

Shougo: (yawn) Why don't we confront them?

Suzuka: They'll just deny it.

Umika: Maybe there is nothing goin' on between them anyway.

Shougo: Why don't we play with this pinball instead.

Umika: Good idea!

Shougo: I'll buy some coins. (stretches his arms)

Umika: I'm coming with you.

Suzuka: (looks back at the retreating Shougo and Umika) Oh dear! I brought the wrong people! 

 

 

Ryosuke: How long are we planning to stay here? 

Mirai: Until your uncle calls to tell you we can go home. (keeps playing basketball) Missed again!

Ryosuke: You !

Mirai: Oh yeah? You can't play basketball too.

Ryosuke: (snatches the ball from Mirai and shoot it) Yeah?

Mirai: Luck.

 

 

Meanwhile...

on the pinball machine...

 

Shougo: Oh crap!

Umika: Let me do it!

Shougo: You can't do it right too, Umika-chan.

Umika: (pushes Shougo away from the machine) Just give me a try. You've been playing all these time.

Shougo: You'll just waste a coin!

Suzuka: (smack both Umika and Shougo)

Shougo and Umika: Awh! (rubs their heads)

Suzuka: Would you even lower your voices? We are not here to play! 

Shougo: But were not being productive by just watching over them.

Umika: (agrees in approval) And besides, there wasn't anything weird goin' on with them and we've been peeking around like two hours now.

Shougo: Oh! Look! DDR! (runs to the dancing machine)

Umika: You dance? (follows Shougo)

Suzuka: Hey! (sigh) It feels like babysitting!

Shougo: (puts coin on the machine) Come on, Umika-chan hop in!

Umika: What? 

Shougo: I know you dance! (grabs Umika on stage)

/Music (Happy 7 Days) starts and they started following the steps/

People started to gather around them.

Suzuka: (looks around) What's goin' on now? This is not what I intend to do?! (suddenly phone rings) Hello! (answers without looking who's the caller)

"Where are you?"

Suzuka: Amusement Arcade III. (realizes) Eh? (looks at the phone's screen) Yuto?!

Yuto: (on the other line) Tutorial session with Chinen is done. Resume tonight. I'm coming.

Suzuka: Eh?! You're not coming anywhere.

Yuto: (not listening) Perfect I'm bored. Need to stretch out my muscles.

Suzuka: You are n--beep beep beep ...YUTO!!! (sigh) Not another creature to babysit!

 

/Song ends/

Shougo: That was fun! (lifts a hand for a high five)

Umika: I know! (gives a high five)

Shougo: Another round?

Umika: Bring it o--Wait! (someone grabs on her wrist)

Suzuka: No more! (another hand grabs on Shougo
