Author's Notes: I don't own Super Gals.

Aya Hoshino was having her vacation in America and now that classes will start she came back before classes will begin. But there are still weeks left before start of classes. Aya had called Ran, Miyu, Yuuya, Maki and Tatsukichi to go to her house the next day to have some...fun! They'll go to Aya's house in the afternoon. But only one person wasn't invited...and that's Rei Otohata. So Aya planned to visit Rei in the cd shop where he works.

Rei was arranging the cd in the cd rack until he saw somebody in the corner of his eye. The girl went in to the shop and went to him. "You want to buy a cd?" Rei asked. Before the girl answered him she took off her sunglasses and smiled. Rei looked at her shockingly. "A-Aya?"

"Hi Rei! Long time no see!" Aya greeted as she gave a quick hug. Rei looked at her shockingly still like he couldn't believe it's really Aya. "What's wrong?"

"Is that really you? You don't dress like that", he said, looking at her up and down. Aya chuckled.

"Well...people change Rei", she replied. She was wearing a fitting shirt, cargo shorts and sneakers. Plus she couldn't be beautiful when her hair is down and her black sunglasses covering her blue eyes.

"Change? Yeah right I mean look at you! You dress like a boy!" he compliments. She rolls her blue eyes.

"Whatever I'm used to it!"

"You talk like one", he added. Aya put her hand on his shoulder.

"Rei I came here to tell you that you're invited at my house tomorrow at 3:00p.m. The gang will be there too. And secondly...Rei can I also work here? I don't want to be bored this few weeks of summer and also when classes will begin I'm still going to work. Can you say that to your boss?" Aya said. Rei looked at her confusingly. Then replied.

"Sure. I'll tell my boss. But we're in the third year already. We had to concentrate in our studies you know?" Rei reminded. Aya withdrew her hand on his shoulder and put on her sunglasses.

"I know that. Don't worry I'm concentrating on both. Bye", she said as she winked her eye and left the shop.

The next day, that afternoon the gang did went to Aya's house and have some fun! In short...party! "Let's PAH-TY!" Tatsukichi exclaimed.

"Party!" everyone said.

"Aya how come you dress like a...boy? What happened to you?" Miyu asked shockingly.

"Yeah what happened to one of our super gal?" Ran also asked, eating some delicious foods.

"Well...nothing happened to me okay? Don't worry I'm still one of the super gals", Aya replied, showing the friendship necklace to them which said Cho Friends Aya. "It's just that...nothing hit me to act as a boy".

"Not to mention dress and talked like one", Maki added.

"Yeah", Aya said lamely. "Uh Rei". Rei looked at her, his eyebrow raised. "What did you're boss say about...me working at the cd shop?"

"Oh that...he said fine you can work there starting tomorrow", Rei replied, drinking his soda.

"Yes!"

"You will work in Rei's cd shop?" Ran asked.

"Yup! I want to earn money and I don't want my summer to be boring. And also even classes will begin I'll still be working in the cd shop in the afternoon", Aya replied.

"But you're studying", Yuuya said.

"I'm concentrating on both. Don't worry guys. Thanks to Kasuki he also taught me that besides of having fun studies are also important", she added.

"Kasuki? Did you meet him in America by any chance?" Miyu asked.

"Yeah! It was a coincidence!" Aya said. "At least summer was fun meeting him coincidentally".

"Tell us more Aya", Maki pleaded. Aya narrate what she had been doing in her summer while Rei left them and went to the other corner leaning at the wall.

'I wonder...if Kasuki still loves Aya?' Rei thought. But he shook his head. Why does it concerns him anyway?

Aya hurriedly went to the cd shop that early morning. She doesn't want to be late on her first day of work. "Good morning!" Aya greeted to the shocked Rei.

"I thought you won't come", Rei said, putting some cd's here and there.

"I told you I'll work right?" she said to him as she helped him.

"Right", was he's reply. Then they heard the chime ringing which means they have a customer.

"Miyu?!" Aya said, shocked. "What are you doing here?" Miyu smiled sweetly before answering.

"Well...I came here to buy a cd", Miyu replied.

"Girls I'll go get the other pack of cd", Rei said, excusing himself.

"Sure", Aya said. Her eyes turned to Miyu. "Go ahead choose the cd you want to buy Miyu. Or is it you'll give it to Yamato?" Miyu blushed.

"Y-Yeah I'm buying two cd's. One for me and my Yamato!"

"Boy talked abut love", Aya said, rolling her eyes. Miyu was busy looking for a cd and asked Aya a question.

"Tell me Aya...do you still have feelings for Rei?" Aya paused on arranging some of the cd's that Rei left.

"I don't have feelings for him anymore. I treat Rei as a good friend of mine".

"Are you sure?" Miyu tests.

"Sure", was her friend's reply. Then Miyu tapped her shoulders and give the cd's which she will pay.

"Okay if that is your answer", Miyu said. As Aya went to the counter.

"I'll concentrate on my studies and work for a while. These two are important to me", Aya explained as Miyu gave her money as Aya took it. Then put the cd's in a plastic.

"Love is not important to you anymore huh?" Miyu asked.

"I rather hate it if I want to reach my two goals", Aya said flatly. She gave the plastic to Miyu.

"Aya..."

"Don't worry. It's still the Aya you know before. A little bit of her...changed". Miyu gave a wry smile.

"If that's what you say. Thanks! See you around Aya!" Miyu said bidding farewell.

"Bye Miyu!" Aya told her friend as she watches her leave. Actually Rei had heard their conversation so when he enters the counter he acts casually. "Hey Rei! You're here! Too bad Miyu had left".

"Is that so? Did she buy something?" Rei asked.

"Yeah she bought two cd's. One for her and the other for Yamato", Aya replied as she watched Rei put the box full of cd's on the table.

"That's great", he said, wiping the sweat of his forehead. "Aya can you help me with this?"

"Sure", she replied happily as she went to him and does their work.

Rei and Aya have their lunch when Aya's cell phone rang. "Excuse me", Aya told Rei as she answered her phone. "Hello Aya speaking".

"Hey Aya it's me Kasuki! How are you?" was the other line's reply.

"Kasuki!" Aya nearly jumped off in her seat. Rei looked at her as she looked at him with an apologetic smile. "I'm fine. You?"

"I'm fine Aya. So where are you now?" Kasuki asked.

"Where Rei is working. At the cd shop", Aya replied.

"Why are you there?"

"I'm working here. I want to earn money and I don't want my summer to be boring".

"So...do you still love Rei that's why you're working there?" he whispered in the phone. Aya went to the other corner so that she could talk to Kasuki privately.

"I don't have feelings for him anymore. Besides that was the past. Argh! Why do people think that I'm still in love with him?!" she gritted.

"Because...you're in his cd shop. It's like you following him", he teased. The two laughed. "Okay got to go. Keep in touch okay? E-mail me sometimes".

"Sure Kasuki. Bye", Aya said. Then they put down the phone.

"So...how was he?" Rei asked.

"He's fine. And he said I'll keep in touch with him. We don't talk much", Aya replied.

"I see", was all he could say.

Classes will start after three weeks. Aya had saved much money from her work. And even she and Rei sometimes get along. That certain Monday was the start of class as Aya walked to her school. "Hey Aya good morning! Back to school again!" Miyu greeted.

"Hi Ran and Miyu! Good morning too! Yup it's back to school so we should be working hard for our studies", Aya said.

"Aw man! Fun time is over and we'll be working like hell!" Ran whined.

"Ran remember studies are also important", Aya reminded.

"Yes, yes miss genius", Ran replied. The two laughed as they went to their classroom.

"So gals what do you think of our subjects?" Miyu asked that recess time.

"It was still the same. But I knew the lessons will be hard", Ran replied lamely.

"It was fine. As long as we study hard we won't fail", Aya said.

"That's because you're a genius", Ran compliments.

"N-Not really", Aya said, sweat dropped. She never knew Ran would say those words...in a lame way! She knows Ran hates studying.

"By the way Aya tell us why do you want to act like a boy?" Miyu asked more like pleading her.

"No particular reason", Aya replied.

"Aya we need an answer! Some of our classmates suspects the way you act you know", Ran added. Aya sighed desperately.

"I'll tell you some other time", Aya told them. Miyu and Ran looked at each other and shrugged.

"Aya we'll be staying until six in the evening", Rei said.

"Yeah I know", Aya replied. Sitting on the chair in the counter. She gets her back pack and pull out a can of beer. She opened it as she drank the beer while Rei went to her and snatched the can. "Hey!"

"You're drinking beer? Since when?!" Rei yelled. She averted her eyes on him. She was angry at him for taking her beer away and she was angry for herself too because she was careless. And another thing she is angry at him...he doesn't mind his business.

"So what if I drink beer? People drink beer you know", Aya said coolly.
