"I can't believe the tourney's tomorrow!" I exclaim down the phone.
"Are you nervous?" Makoto asks.
"Nope. I have faith in my team." And I believe that Shizu's got my back.
"You're getting ready to visit her, aren't you?" I am asked.
"Yeah." I reply.
"Do you want me to come with you?" he offers.
"You don't need to. Fubuki and Kaito are going. If you want to talk to her too then you can. I won't stop you." I reply.
"I would like to meet her." Makoto murmurs.
"You would?" I ask.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for Shizuka you wouldn't have got that scholarship and may not have met me. We wouldn't be where we are right now as a couple if it wasn't for her."
"You speak s loud on the phone Aoi's dork." Mei-chan giggles.
"No, you two have ears like bats." I sneer.
"You're so nice Aoi-chan." Ami-chan sniggers.
"I know." I grin.
"I am still here." Makoto laughs.
"If you really do want to meet her then are you up for meeting me, the pier?" I suggest. "It's sort of close to the cliff. Then Fubuki and Kaito can go on ahead." I reply. Mei-chan and Ami-chan start laughing hysterically.
"What are they laughing about?" Makoto asks.
"Long story." I admit.
~(^v^)~ Flashback ~(^v^)~
"Thanks for letting us all come over Fubu'." Sho smiles widely as he, Hinata and Kenta come in with a twelve pack of pocket sweat and sugar sticks.
"It's nice here huh?" Fubuki grins.
"Yeah but it took forever for Hinata's mum to find it." Kenta laughs.
"I guess I'm just used to coming here all the time." Fubuki shrugs.
"Who are we missing?" Hika-chan asks as she lolls on one of the loveseats,
"Nito' was hellbent on training for half an hour with Kai'. Nito's mum should be here with them soon." Fubuki shrugs.
"Should we drink all the pocket sweat to see what he does?" Ami-chan asks, laying on her stomach on the carpet.
"Get on a sugar high? Sure! We never get to have fun!" Mei-chan grins, cracking a can open.
...
Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
"That will be Kaito then." Fubuki's 'super sister' Grace skips toward the door, opening it wide so then the final guests can come in. Nito and Kaito bow to Mr and Mrs Nitori before bowing before Grace and stepping inside.
"Now that we're all here! Let's take a selfie!" Mei-chan enthuses.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
...
After about six cans of pocket sweat stuff gets random.
"Let's play the dare game." Sho suggests.
"Great idea!" Mei-chan beams.
"Twenty one dares?" Fubuki asks.
"Sure!" I shrug.
"Sounds good to me." Nito' nods, having downed the rest of a can.
