"What am I supposed to do for three days? Sit at home and knit?!" Satomi cried in outrage as Koji rolled his eyes, struggling to push Zoe's bag into the jeep on top of the other six already in there. Before Kousei could answer however, Tomoko walked outside, her black-and-white backpack in hand. "What's she doing here?"

"It was part of the deal," Kousei sighed slightly as Tomoko neared.

"Hello," Tomoko smiled warmly at the enraged Satomi as the six kids piled into the open-roofed jeep, the twins sitting atop the bags. "Is everything okay?"

"Actually, no," Satomi narrowed her eyes slightly. "I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with you going on this trip with Kousei."

"Really?" Tomoko's eyes widened in surprise that Koji – the master of fake expressions – knew was mocking. "Well in that case, I won't go."

"What?" the twins' eyes widened in real shock, "Why?!"

"Well if Satomi isn't comfortable with it, then I wouldn't feel right going," Tomoko smiled slightly before turning to said woman. "But you should go!"

"Why do the gods seem to hate us?" Koji mumbled under his breath in exasperation as Koichi shrugged unknowingly.

"I'm not much of an outdoors person," Satomi shook her head quickly.

"No, I insist!" Tomoko pulled off her bag and handed it to the dark-haired woman. "That way you can get to know the twins. After all, in two weeks they'll be half yours."

"Can I throw up in her bag if she comes?" Koji whispered, looking as though he might actually do so if given the chance. "Please?"

As Koichi and Zoe elbowed the younger twin lightly, Satomi sighed and took the bag hesitantly, thankful that it was one of the rare times that she was wearing her pink and golden tracksuit that showed off her naval and lower back, as well as her white trainers, "…Fine…"

"Great," Kousei – delighted although confused – clapped his hands together and climbed into the car as Satomi grudgingly handed Koji her bag to put with the others. "Let's go then!"

Rolling their eyes, the identical duo gripped the bar close to chest level tightly as Kousei slowly pulled out of the driveway – there being no room for them with the four already in the back.

"Okay; I need a break!" Satomi gasped as she stumbled into a sitting position, everyone except Koichi groaning slightly, Zoe almost tripping as she hurriedly leapt of the fallen log she was trying to run down.

"Again?" Koji groaned as Kousei gave him a warning look.

"She's just not used to the altitude…"

"Neither is anyone other than us, and the only one who's behind her is Koichi," Koji argued quietly. "And he's only behind her because he keeps stopping to draw!"

Rolling his eyes slightly, Kousei moved to walk behind a large bush, "I'll be back in a minute…"

As Satomi weakly reached for her bag, Koichi sighed and handed her the canister of water, smirking as he noticed a lizard on the ground.

Remembering that she had stated her hatred of lizards on Facebook, he slowly dropped the lizard onto the canister before handing it to her, "Here."
