Today in the Amusement Club, all the gang were melting away in the heat of the summer's sun: Every single one of them were in a pool of their own sweat. All they had were thin books to cool themselves down and it barely worked. Unfortunately, Akari has been sick for the past few days so Kyoko created a box to determine the fate of who's looking after her on next-week's half-term, since Akari's family were having a holiday. The name was pulled out and who was chosen was Sakurako. This was the last day of school, so Sakurako had to not walk to the Amusement Club but instead to walk to Akari's (which explains the reason them two are not here today).

At Akari's house.

Hearing a knock on the door, Akane quickly let Sakurako in, knowing the arrangements that have been planned; Akari does not yet know. Finding her way through Akari's house, Sakurako found Akari on her sofa, watching the news. Hearing the footsteps, Akari spun her head around to see the sight of her.

"Surprise!" Sakurako said, half-happy because the illness is not serious and she is ok, half-bothered since she had to walk all the way to Akari's from school, then from Akari's to her house. Surprised, Akari said "Yay! Someone to look after Akari while Akari is alone!" "sorry, excuse Akari's manners. Thank you for coming round. Akari is grateful for the company," Akari said. Sakurako then explained the justifications that she was at her house.

"Well, I am still happy to be here, even if it was determined by a box with our names in," said Sakurako nicely.

A shout could be heard saying "Come give us a hug! We're leaving now!" it was identified to be Akane, obviously wanting an embrace from her cute, little sister.

Akari ran to the front door and gave Akane a warm hug, giving Akane a tiny nosebleed, which she hid with her hand.

"Love you, Onii-chan!" smiled Akari. The nosebleed became bigger. Quickly doing the same to her parents, she went back to the brown sofa and lied down, putting the blanket over herself immediately. They were now alone.
