It was a warm summer's day in Academy City, Japan. There was a cool breeze which seemed to barely even nudge the leaves on the trees. The birds up on the trees were singing, and the people in the street were peacefully enjoying the nice weather. Only to be knocked over by a certain redhead in a Tokiwadai Middle School summer uniform, sprinting through the streets as if her life depended on it. If those people hadn't been pushed aside, they would've moved aside fairly quickly as soon as they saw the expression on her face.

"DON'T WORRY SISSY, I WILL SAVE YOU!"

After about five minutes of more running and knocking innocent bystanders to the ground, she arrived at her destination – a small, family restaurant in the city centre. Taking out an M1911 taken from some defeated Skill-out members, she shot at the lock and made her entrance.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Weren't you with Judgement?" questioned a brown-haired girl, also in a Tokiwadai uniform.

"Sissy... I am sav...saving you by...replacing that...APE sitting n...next to you."

Touma Kamijou then stood up.

"Ape? C'mon, don't you think that's a tad harsh?" his confused expression then turned into a black-eyed expression of pain as the younger girl's fist met his face. He fell out of his chair and onto the ground.

"I don't believe it. I...I...all this time, I was completely oblivious to the fact I belonged with you."

"What did I say? We were tied by the red string of fate?"

"Not just as roommates."

And just as they both leaned towards each other for a kiss, Kuroko Shirai woke up.
