Alice arrives at her school and immediately notices that something is off. The atmosphere is different and it makes her shiver. She enters the school building and sees that everyone there is receiving chocolate left and right, Alice realizes that the thick atmosphere from before was in fact, love. Alice makes her way into her classroom and it's not more different from the outside, the girls inside are giving chocolate to their admirers. Alice went to her desk and placed her head on it. As usual, Raani greets her.

"Hey, there Alice, Happy Valentine's Day!" Raani told her.

Raani places her homemade chocolate on Alice's desk and Alice looks up and sees chocolate inside a little bag.

"You made this Raani?" Alice said as she lifted her head.

"Yup, I made this one just for you Alice!" Raani told her while smiling.

"Huh, how considerate. Maybe I'll try a piece or two." Alice said to her.

Alice popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth and noticed the bittersweetness of the candy. She savors the taste of the chocolate and notices that it is dark chocolate, one of her favorites. Alice was enjoying the chocolate until she noticed Raani smirking at her.

"So how is it?" Raani asked Alice teasingly.

"I-it's good I guess, I'm surprised you made me dark chocolate tho." Alice told her.

"Thanks. I remember back in our junior days, you hated milk chocolate. So every year on Valentine's, I give you different kinds of chocolate until I find one you like. Last year it was dark chocolate and you liked it." Raani revealed to her.

"You're treating me as if it's a Bingo game." Alice told her.

As they were talking, they heard loud ruffling from the corridor, they directed their attention to the door and the door slid open. They saw Aini bringing 2 big sacks of chocolate into the classroom, Airi was behind her carrying a third stack.

"Peace!" Aini said in a joyful mood.

"Yo." Airi casually said before entering.

"T-That's a lot of chocolate for someone that said they don't celebrate Valentine's." Raani teases her.

"I'm not celebrating Valentine's, I'm celebrating charity!" Aini told her.

"By giving away chocolate?" Raani asked her.

"Yep!" Aini confidently answered.

"I feel like there's a different agenda here." Alice muttered slightly.

During recess, the school was lively with people handing out chocolate to their admirers. A boy in their class got a bucket load of chocolate on his desk, while others were not so lucky. Aini began handing out chocolate to every student in class before packing up her bag to go class to class.

"Alright, my charity mission has begun, Raani come and help assist me!" AIni told them.

"Alright! Time to spread love to everyone here!" Raani told her.

They both exited the classroom to begin their mission to give everyone chocolate at school. Alice notices that Airi is looking a bit down.

"Hey Airi, what's wrong?" Alice asked her.

"Ah me? There's nothing wrong with me!" Airi said flusteredly.

"Come on Airi, you can tell me. It's about that boy isn't it?" Alice teases her.

"H-How did you know? Wait, No! I mean kinda-" Airi stumbles on her word.

"Ah, so I was right? So what's wrong?" Alice asked her.
