A/N: This one's really weird, because this story is supposed to be a Valentine's special. I just totally forgot I have to finish it before the hearts day. Epic fail. But I can't wait for another year just to publish a short story.
Anyways, hope you enjoy.

~ She had an odd-colored hair, a clover-shaped chocolate and a big wide grin. ~
Four-year old Shin'ichi sniffed a sob back as he hugged his knees closer.
And to think it was supposed to be a special day as per everyone else said. Yet, there he was on a bench in an unknown park, a lost child. And worse, the lollipop-shaped chocolate his mother gave him for Valentine's went missing during his search for his parents.
"Don't cry," it was a small voice that startled him. A pair of steel blue eyes caught his teary ones in a worried gaze. A girl around his age stood there in front of him, tilting her head as an attempt to catch a glimpse of his hidden face.
Silence reigned as they stared at each other for a few seconds. Then the little girl reached for her pockets, rummaging whatever content it held. Her strawberry-blonde hair swaying slightly to her movements.
Shin'ichi flinched when the little girl suddenly held out her hand, a nicely wrapped clover-shaped candy on the middle of her palm.
It was a chocolate.
"My nee-chan gave me lots," she stated with a bright smile on her face. A second after, however, the expression dropped into a frown as she continued, "But Vodka said it's bad for my teeth, and took them all away."
Shin'ichi blinked in confusion, whoever this Vodka guy was. Yet the little girl wasn't finished with her speech as a sly smile crept up her face, "Well, almost all of them." And a wink came his way.
He didn't know what to say, nor did he know what to do. But the girl with an odd hair-color just kept urging him to take the chocolate.
Shin'ichi hesitated at first, but slowly, as if really trying to confirm it was okay, he finally got hold of the sweet offered to him.
Just then, the little girl graced him with a big and wide grin.
A grin that influenced his sullen expression to replicate her own.
The grin that never left his face even when the little girl waved goodbye a few seconds after.
That grin he showed his parents who found him later on as he told them about a little girl with a funny-looking hair color, who was being bullied by a guy named Vodka, and from whom he had received the small chocolate.
That big grin he had unconsciously made his trademark as he grew up.
That same big and wide grin he would eventually return to that little girl who would, unfortunately, outgrow that contagious expression she once possessed.

A/N: Isn't it nice to think that once upon a time it was easy for Shiho to shift different expressions like a real innocent child? If not moody?
And though it's kind of sad she had to throw that away, at least someone shows it to her again. XD
Oh, and if anyone of you read Chocolat Station, did you notice the difference in their interaction? ;)
