"Shit, we had a fight after all, and the Swastons are falling apart. Shit, what can I say," thought Dima as he went to check on Takemichi, and carried a bag of fruit as a present.

When he turned into Hanagaki's yard, he saw Mikey and Ken standing across from each other, the trashed yard, and a sobbing Takemichi.

Everyone looked in Dima's direction. But Red looked at Hanagaki's head.

- That's... Takemuchi, on your head...

- There's been poop on your head this whole time! - Mikey finished his sentence.

- Э!? What do you mean!

- Filthy Takemuchi.

- Why didn't you say so sooner!

- Because you were so serious!

- Red, what are you doing here?

- I came to check on you. Catch.

Dima threw a bag of fruit at Takemichi, and he caught it.

- Dirty Takemuchi.

- You too, Red!

- Red, run! The poop is coming! - Mikey shouted out to Red.

- Yeah, yeah! I'm on my way.

- Hold it right there!

***

- That's hilarious," Dorakan said.

- I haven't laughed like that in a long time," Mikey said.

- I washed my hair!

The boys sat and watched Takemichi's friends play with the soccer ball.

- Sorry, Mikey, Red," Kenchik apologized curtly.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, too," Mikey said.

- That's, yeah," Dima said embarrassed.

- What were you two fighting about? - Hanagaki asked the trio.

- I forgot," the three said at the same time.

- As a matter of fact, Kenchik left Pa there.

"Mikey thought Pa was innocent and wanted to help him, but he understood that he had done wrong. And Doraken understood that Pa-chin wanted to turn himself in, and because of that, opinions were divided. That was the reason for the quarrel... And Red, he was just between two fires and tried to calm the guys down, but he couldn't and they quarreled with him," Takemichi mentally analyzed.

- When Pa comes out, we'll celebrate," Mikey shared his plan.

"Swastons are cool, after all."

- You're cool!

- These three made up! - Hanagaki's friends said.

"The showdown didn't start, so Doraken isn't going to die. History has changed! Mission successfully completed! I did it, Naoto."

- Takemichi," Hina called out to him, and Emma stood beside her.

- I'm here, too.

The girls suggested we go to the festival on August 3rd, and Takemichi agreed.

- Yo, Emma," Ken shouted, turning to Emma.

- Э?

- Emma, be quiet," Mikey asked his little sister.

- You two had a fight!

- Oh, yeah? Not hearing," Mikey mocked.

- I was worried.

-August 3, 2005-

- Radish, would you like one? - Mikey asked Red, holding out a caramel apple. Red just took it silently and began to eat it.

- Thank you," Red thanked Mikey.

- You're welcome, Red.

"I feel like he's not calling me Radish, he's calling me Radish," Dima remarked to himself.

Red was dressed in his usual clothes, just without his cap and mask.

- By the way, Mikey, you didn't go to the Peyhan challenge to walk with me at the festival? - Asked Red a question.

- Yes! Kenchik and Takemuchi went out with their girlfriends! - Mikey replied, eating a caramel apple.

- Fuck... - said in a voice, Red.

- What's up, Red? - Mikey asked Red.

"I feel like he thinks we're a couple and I'm the girl! All because Mikey's sixty-two and I'm what fifty-eight! Not fair!" - Scolded Red.

But despite what was going on in his head, Dima said exactly the opposite:

- Just a bad feeling, like something was going to happen to Kenchik...

- С... Kenchik? - As if repeating himself, Mikey said.

- Yes.

It started raining, but Red was not embarrassed and continued walking in the rain, finishing his caramel apple, but Mikey grabbed Dima by the elbow and led him under a tree. And Dima followed him calmly and without resistance. They stood under a tree, waiting for the rain to stop. As luck would have it, Dima twisted his leg on a flat spot and began to fall, Mikey grabbed him, but, unable to keep his balance, he fell on Dima.

A strange picture opened up: a calm Red looking at Mikey with the same calm, but only slightly pink face.

There was a silence, interrupted by the ringing of Dima's phone. He calmly picked up the phone and looked at the incoming, it was Mitsuya. Red picked up the phone.

- Hello, Mitsuya, why are you calling?

- Red, things are bad. Peyhan betrayed us and wants to attack Doraken. I'm running to the gas station with Takemuchi now. I also called everybody and they said they'd be here soon.

- Okay, I'll be there soon. And I'll get Mikey," Dimitri said and hung up.

- What do you want? - Mikey asked, still hovering over him.

- Said Pejan betrayed us and wants to attack Kenchik," Dima answered.

- What-what?

-Don't say anything, let's go quickly to save Kenchik," said Dima clearly and started to get up.

Mikey got off Red and helped him up.

- Well, let's go help everybody out, Mikey.
