You better slow down. You're gonna get fat.
Fat?! Yokichi, you're horrible! What a terrible thing to say to a lady!
A lady? Where?
YO-KI-CHIIIII!!!
Ok, ok, don't yell. I was just kidding. Sheesh, i think I'm deaf in one ear, now.
Oh, boohoo for you. Poor baby. Serves you right for being a jerk. How you got a girlfriend I'll never understand.
Hey, now, just because you're immune to my natural charms doesn't mean every other girl is. It just means you're a freak of nature.
Riiight, ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night, playboy.
The doorbell rings, followed by a loud series of excited knocking intended to draw attention and flat out impossible to ignore.
Heehee, that must be everybody. <3
Everybody? What's that supposed to mean?
What do you *think* I mean, baka? You don't seriously think I'm the only one wondering about you, do you?
I... uh... no... well...
I said I'd go ahead and make sure nothing was wrong. And if I didn't call to say not to come then the coast is clear.
That's ok, ne? I mean, its never been a problem before, right?
Uh, yeah... I mean, no... Its just... Yoshi...
Yoshi? Oh, what about him? I'm sure he won't mind. I mean, we're all friends, ne?
I dunno... he's awfully upset...
He'll be *fine*, Yokichi. Don't worry so much, sheesh.
The pounding resumes, becoming more boisterous with each passing second, accompanied by a cheerful chorus of pleas to come inside.
I'll get it before the gang gets *too* rowdy, ne?
Geeze, she's so pushy to be so small. I'm beginning to wonder if we're friends just because she won't let me *not* be...
Ume, wait! What about---?
Hey, everybody! What took you so long? You know, just because you took your sweet time getting here, that's no reason to try and knock the door down.
Oh, whatever. You just love to have a reason to fuss, Umechan. If we were taking too long you could have called sooner to tell us it was okay.
No way, Kaori. Then she wouldn't have had the chance to stuff her face first, ne, Umechan?
I'm sure I have *no* idea what you're talking about, Aoiko.
I think she's referring to the crumbs on your face, Umechan. Yokichi-kun, you forgot to pick up your test. I brought it for you.
Crumbs! No way!
Ha ha, guilty as charged! You are so busted! <3 I don't know why you even bother to deny it, Ume. Everybody already knows you eat like a sumo wrestler with a tapeworm.
Come on, Kaori-san. That's not very nice. You're making Ume-san blush.
Tanaka... oh... hey. I mean, nah, its fine. D-don't worry about it. So, you... came, too?
Un, I'm off from the cafe today so... I hope its ok?
That's not really for her to say, na, Tanaka? Despite how she may act, its not really her house.
O-Oh... h-hai, of course, Yokichi-san. Gomen... I didn't mean to offend.
...
Don't worry about it... Oi, Tanaka? Can I talk to you about something real quick?
Talk to... m-me? Uh... h-hai, yeah, sure. What about?
Great. Step out onto the balcony with me for a little bit? This way. Come on.
Oh my.... Oh my, oh my, oh my... I hope that doesn't go as bad as I think it might...
