Yumiko watched Angelo hustle and bustle about as she sat quite calmly on her seat, drinking some hot chocolate and reading a book. She'd been watching him the whole morning, rushing around and panicking about the seemingly 'ill' plants. Every time he'd gone up to one, they seemed to recoil away from his fussing.

"I don't understand! Something I wrong!" He began to bite at his teeth through his gloves, wondering if they had contacted a mysterious virus. They were creating such a strange noise he'd not heard before, the rustling in their leaves making it sound like a giant mating call.

Yumiko calmly finished her drink and hopped off her seat, walking up behind him.

"I have an idea." She tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention and he turned to her, a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh? You're not going to suggest letting Hilde handle it are you? I know you two have been plotting something." He smiled cheekily and watched her blush as she remembered he caught her talking to the plants.

"Shush you! I mean…why don't you spend a day outside the lab. With me?" She smiled hopefully at him.

"Oh fiore…I'd love to! Maybe then the plants could actually prove they can take care of themselves for the night." Angelo smiled at her, hearing a small rustling and knowing his plants were excited by the idea.

"Ok! Well…grab a small bag, because you're going to be in class." Yumiko bit her lip and quickly turned away from him, walking towards the door.

"C-class?" Angelo arched his brow and looked a little confused.

"Yes. I'm in charge of the Art class today. We're going out into the town and then maybe some painting later." She turned with a small smile, hoping he wouldn't be too upset.

"But you will definetely be there? And me with you…all the time?"

"Of course."

Angelo smiled happily and quickly got to work.

"Then off we go!" He hurriedly ran around grabbing various books and instruments, quickly making sure things were turned off and their was available water were necessary encase the plants got thirsty or he misjudged how long he'd be gone for.

Yumiko giggled and grabbed a couple of books for him to, calming him down by pointing out that his keys were in his pocket, safe and not out of sight. If she hadn't, he would have spent ten minutes searching for them.

An hour or so later…

Angelo got off of the bus, stretching his legs as the other kids gathered in front of him.

"Now, now children, remember, we all have to behave accordingly! Mathew…please take your fingers out of your ears," Yumiko looked around the group and pointed out the trouble makers, "Madeleine, stop chattering…Father Angelo, are you paying attention?"

Angelo was looking around the place at the small town and his eyes had drifted upwards, observing the small church. When he'd heard Yumiko' slightly scolding voice, he instantly straightened up, hands behind back and looked at her.

"Yes miss!"

All the kids couldn't help but give a giggle as Yumiko just smiled and bit her tongue to prevent herself giggling to.

"Well…I'm glad. Now…everyone listen carefully. We're here on trip today. As I said to mother Superior and Father Anderson, I'm taking you to the clock museum."

The children (and Angelo) gave a slight groan, only to be shushed by the nun with a raise of her hand.

"BUT…and this is with Father Anderson' permission…we are allowed a couple of detours IF you're good. If you behave accordingly and do as your told, then we are permitted to stop off at the sweet shop."

"Fantastic! Everyone, we must make sure we behave and our on our best behaviour for fi-Er…Sister Takagi!" Angelo sighed in relief as he nearly called her by his pet name for her. He had to remember that they were out in public and had to act appropriately, not just for the children' sakes but also the reputation of the orphanage.

The children hurried along, making sure to form an orderly queue and keep the noise to a minimum so they wouldn't disturb anyone.
