Chapter 1
The start
It was a hot summer afternoon. Giroro was sitting in near the campfire, roasting some sweet potatoes. Natsumi have just arrived from college, really excited to start the vacations. For a minute, she was kind of sad, she recently broke up with Saburo and she didn't know what she was going to do this summer. Saburo and I had planned a lot of things… and now it's over. Natsumi sighed. But then, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes made her really hungry, so she went right away to her back yard, where Giroro made his home.
-Hi, Giroro! Smells really good here
-Hey… – Giroro said in a low voice
-May if I join you?
-No, of course not, you are always welcomed here, with me, even inside the tent… ehem – Giroro coughed
Luckily for Giroro, Natsumi was so hungry that she didn't hear the last part of the conversation, so she just sat down near him, in fact, really close to him. I like being near him thought Natsumi. It makes me feel comfortable, I don't know why.
-How are you dealing with the… you know… that stupid boy who used to date you? – asked shyly Giroro trying to break the ice.
-Saburo you mean? Well, he's not stupid. Oh, you know what, in fact, yes he is! He is a completely jerk, you know that now he is dating the girl wit whom he cheated on me? And that was only a week ago. I'm so embarrassed, he makes me feel embarrassed. That jerk! I'm going to kill him…
-May I offer some help? – said Giroro with a creepy look while holding a gun.
-What?! Hahahahaha. Giroro, I didn't mean that, I was talking metaphorically.
-Oh – said Giroro a bit disappointed – Well, you deserve a better man, Natsumi, just don't be sad.
Natsumi sighed deeply. It's not all about him. It's just, everybody home is so happy in a relationship thought Natsumi.
-What's the matter? – asked Giroro holding her hand.
What?! What am I doing? Giroro thought while blushing.
Natsumi wasn't bothered by that, and calmly explained to him her problem:
-Well, I know that you will not understand that, because you're a though frog and a soldier but… I'm jealous that everyone in this house is happy in a romantic relationship but me. Look, Tamama and Keroro, Fuyuki and Momoka, Dororo and Koyuki… Even Kururu has Mois! And me? What am I going to do thissummer? Everyone will spent it with their loves, of course.
-Ehem… Not everyone is in a relationship here. And, when Kururu started dating Moi?
-A year ago? Giroro where have you been? – asked Natsumi – And yes, I'm the one alone. Even you have someone, Giroro.
-What?! Since when?
-Keroro told me that when you went to Keron last month was to visit Pururu.
-Yes! It was for that, because she is pregnant…
WHAT?! – Natsumi interrupted him – How? For how long? It's a boy, a girl? Well, I mean a frog or a…
-Natsumi, calm down please - said Giroro blushing – she is pregnant of my brother. Were you thinking that seriously?
-Oh… Well, that's a relief
-Why?
-Because that means that you won't be leaving to Keron
Why I said that? Natsumi thought almost blushing.
-I'm not going anywhere. Besides, I have something to do here – Giroro was thinking of Natsumi, of course.
-Yes, the invasion. Is this the only thing that keeps you here, isn't it?
Giroro blushed and blushed. Should I tell her why I'm staying here?
-Well, I suppose, I don't know, I feel well here, with you… I mean, with all of you.
-Yes, I feel well with you too.
Like always Natsumi didn't hear the last part, luckily for Giroro, again. Giroro was overwhelmed. Did he hear right? Natsumi was OK with him?
-You know, maybe we can spend the summer together, as none of us is in a relationship.
Natsumi, what is happening to you? Thought Natsumi.
Is this really happening? thought Giroro. Maybe it's a trap from Keroro. Nah I bet he's with Tamama right now doing, I don't know. Well, then, if it's not a trap, what do I say? The invasion or Natsumi? He didn't know what to do. Well, he knew exactly what to do, but the rational Giroro was struggling with the emotional one.
-Giroro? – asked Natsumi worriedly as seeing Giroro more red than usual.
-Yes! Yes! We're spending the summer together!
