-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
White fluffy clouds hang on clear blue sky, move slowly and lazily under blazing summer heat of sunshine. Said heat is so strong and brings humidity to air, enough to make a person with weak-constitute turns dizzy. Or not.
"Watanuki, it's hoooooottt!" Yuuko lies down on veranda dejectedly; her kimono worn haphazardly seemed dull and writhe under heat attack.
Sighing loudly, Watanuki sweeps the sweat on his forehead before taking a tray to veranda where his selfish employer lounging in. His tread sways lightly because of heat and heavy tray on his hands; after all, he is one of people out there with weak-constitute.
"Here, Yuuko-san." Arriving at veranda, Watanuki puts down a plate with slice of watermelon on top it. Moving her hand in exaggerated slow movement, Yuuko takes the slice and chomps a little bit. The effect is instant.
"MMmmm! It's cooooooooollllddddd!" Yuuko squeals in delight, rejuvenated from summer heat stroke syndrome. Then, she proceeds to chomp down all in big bite. Having used to her antics, Watanuki only smiles a little and shakes his head lightly. He proceeds to serve the other occupant of veranda who seemed unperturbed under hot summer sun.
"Here!" Watanuki shoves rather ungracefully another piece of watermelon, and glares at said person. Even under blazing heat, Doumeki still maintains his cool façade and eats his share in steady movement. Ever since he became the shop's customer, Doumeki often drops by to visit the shop and smothers Watanuki's made snack which resulted to enrage said boy more.
Sighing loudly, Watanuki sits down dejectedly and enjoys his share of watermelon while silently half praying Yuuko wouldn't cut his payment from it. It's a pity that Himawari-chan is not here, he thought. She had sudden family trip and gone off to Hokkaido yesterday. But of course, before it she promised to bring a lot of souvenirs and send postcards for him. Watanuki ignores completely the fact that she said that via Doumeki.
Three of them enjoy the treat leisurely under comfortable atmosphere.

"I'm bored"
Watanuki glances at Yuuko, half annoyed half dreaded; annoyed because she is still able to say it loudly when all works done by him, dreaded because things tend to turn more complicated and not good for one's health when she's bored, especially his health.
"Watanuki, entertain me!" "WHAT!" "Just how ridiculous she could be?!" Watanuki glares at her. "How do you expect me to do it?!" "Anything is fine," Yuuko waves her hand," dancing, singing, jumping, even screaming is better than this booring state" "Hmph!" Watanuki stomps angrily," I'm not your source of entertainment!" waving his hands like mad," go bother someone else, like- erm… like Mokona, or Maru, or Momo. Or the other Mokona. Aha! That's even better! Go to another dimension for vacation!" smiles proudly to himself for the excellent idea; summer without nagging Yuuko sounded very appealing.
A single light bulb appears on Yuuko's head. "Hey! That's not too bad." Yuuko claps her hands, while Watanuki grins wider. "Let's make Crossover Tea Party!" "Eh?" Watanuki blinks. "That's not-" "That's an excellent idea, Watanuki!" Yuuko had already jumped up and strode in big stride to the house," I'll go call those people from another dimension to came here. Watanuki, don't laze down and start preparing for the tea party! This is after all your idea!" And she is gone inside.
Sound of chirping cicadas heard in the background while Watanuki stares blankly at closed shoji door where Yuuko just disappeared.
Slowly, he turns around to look at the only other occupant of veranda. "Is it… my fault?" asked Watanuki timidly. Doumeki nods while keeps munching a slice of watermelon; he had already devoured five slices of watermelon earlier. "DON'T STATE IT SO BLUNTLY, AND STOP EATING WILL YOU!!!" the bespectacled boy flailed his hands and trying to hit the stoic boy which easily dodged.
After polished all the watermelon slices, Doumeki puts down the plate. "You of all people should know how ones suggestion able to twist around to meet her expectation." "…" Watanuki stares at Doumeki blankly. "…That's the longest statement I've heard you said…" He was answered with a shrug by Doumeki.
Sound of shoji door opened with brutal force made the boys turn around, only to meet face to face with imposing presence of one Ichihara Yuuko, with satisfied grin plastered on her face. "Our first guests will arrive this afternoon!" announced Yuuko gleefully," Watanuki, prepare snack which get along with English tea. Oh, and Doumeki?" Said boy lifts up his head. "Could you please stay here to give a hand for Watanuki? I don't think he'll able to handle all guests' need all by himself. And of course, you'll be paid!" Yuuko touches her chin, thinking," full-course meal Watanuki-made three times a day with dessert sounds good for you?" Doumeki had already nodded his head by the time the sentence reached 'Watanuki-made'. "Good! It's a deal then," Yuuko's grin turns wider.
"OI! DON'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?!" "Hm?" Yuuko inclines her head, "and what it will be?" "This is ME and me working we're talking about! Don't just decide yourselves what payment he received from me! And how you never ask my opinion for help, instead of asking his?! Nevermind permission, how did you get idea to make tea party all of sudden? AND DON'T IGNORE ME, HOI!!!!" Yuuko and Doumeki had already left Watanuki alone in veranda.
"Ohohoho! I can't wait to meet them. Don't you agree?" "Hmph." "Oh by the way, you should dress too for occasion. Green sounds good for you?" "Hmph." "And of course, you'll be in matching style with Watanuki." "Hmph." And the conversation continues on, totally ignoring shouting teenager behind them as they stroll inside.

Author Notes:
(1) This story idea pops up inside my mind when I'm writing another series of mine with title: "Of Death and Sakura", and won't leave my mind. This'll be a collection series about crossover party, and those guests will appear from my anime and manga collection! Wakakakak!
(2) Any idea about what anime or manga which will make debut is greatly welcomed. I'll try to try out all those available :)
(3) And please be kind to review. I'd like to know anyone's opinion before continue it.
