"Hayate, please come to the kitchen!" It was a chilly afternoon in the Sanzenin estate. Hayate was in a sweater as he stepped inside the kitchen.

"What is it Milady, are you going to make me cross dress again?"

"Um no silly. I'm not good at explaining these things. Take it away Maria."

"Hayate-kun, you will be going on a few dates with different girls. I'm not sure why you are, but - -"

"Anyways Hayate," interjects Nagi," the women you are going out with you already know."

"Milady, are you going to send the goons after me?"

"They are not goons; they are the SP. Ugh Hayate, you make me so mad!"

"Milady, I'm only kidding. I just want to see you smile." Hayate's sweetness is what makes him so appealing to various women. It is those kinds of words that make young women like Nagi blush.

"Oh, okkay then. Get dressed. You are supposed to meet your first date at the following place." She hands Hayate the address.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready now, bye."

-

"Nagi, do you think that this plan will work?"

"You worry too much Maria. The guy is as gullible as they come. I'm confident that by the end of all this, his true feelings will come out."

"Okay. How are things going with Kazuki-san?"

"They could not be going better with him. He is such a sweetheart. I love him so much!"

"That's so cute. I wish that I had myself a sweet man."

"You will if he comes to his senses."

Hayate is in downtown. He goes to a costume store and waits outside of it, just as the instructions say to do. The wait seems like an eon to him.

"The paper given to me says that I must wait outside for my first date. It's been 30 minutes, and she's still not here. Oww! Where the heck is that noise coming from?"

"What's up Haya!"

"Sakuya-san, you're my date?"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

"No, it's just that… I never thought that you would actually, you know, take me out on a date."

"Ha! Well I am. Since I am a nice girl, how about I treat you to a dinner before our date?"

"Oh, okay. That would be nice. I haven't eaten in a long time. But where are we actually going on our date?"

"We are going… to an Improv Theater."

"What is that?"

"An Improv Theater is basically a club. The one we are going to is a club for comedians. Yes Haya, we are going to a comedy club. Any objections?"

"None. I do feel that I've been stressed out as of late. So perhaps some funnies would be good."

"Great, let's go get some dinner."

"We got great seats Sakuya-san."

"You will see why shortly." The Improv theater was packed that night. After several performers, Hayate thought that his ribs were shattered from all the laughing that he did. Sakuya didn't laugh once, which was puzzling to the casual observer.

"Hayate, I'm up next."

"Haha, eh what?"

-

"Okay everyone, we have a special guest comedian here with us today. She's a legend in the underground comedy scene. Give it up for the lovely Miss Sakuya!" Hayate thought that she was not going to be funny. Her act got off to a bad start, but she recovered and in no time was making everyone laugh easily, including Hayate. But then the roasting came.

"Thank you all for coming tonight. My boyfriend Ayasaki Hayate is here tonight and gave me the okay to roast him. Thank you honey." Hayate grin and bears it for 20 minutes as Sakuya lays into him, poking fun at his blue hair, the cross-dressing, etc. Everyone roared with laughter; everyone except Hayate. When her routine was done, she got a standing ovation and went to sit back down. Hayate was not sitting beside her.

Hayate bursts through the front doors of the theater. His eyes were narrowed and veins were bulging. Sakuya came running after.

"Come on Hayate, we all have to laugh at ourselves once in a while…"

"True, but the way you talked about me… it was mean-spirited and humiliating."

"No it wasn't."

"It was to ME! Secondly, I am not your boyfriend."

"I know you're not. I had to say that you were so the audience would listen to me."

"I don't care. This date was a disaster. I cannot believe I went out with you Sakuya-san. You suck." With that little 'roast,' Hayate stormed home. Sakuya pretended to be slack jawed for a moment, but then made a call.

Hayate slammed the front door shut and proceeded to sprint up the stairs. He had reached the top when a soothing voice called out to him.

"Are you okay, Hayate-kun?" Maria evidently heard the noise and came to see if he was okay. He turned around to face her. Hayate had a little boy face look going on. It looked as though he was crying. He did not reply back, but rather he just turned back around and went into his room and slammed the door even harder.

"Poor thing…"
