Nineteen year old Ayano Sugiura woke up. It was Thanksgiving. Ayano had been looking forward to this day so she could honor the things in life that she was thankful for.

Ayano was wearing a pair of purple pajama pants and a pink pajama shirt. She opened her closet so she could put on a nice dress to wear, but none of her dresses were there. She looked more than once, but she couldn't even find one dress.

Ayano went to the living room and asked, "Do you know where my dresses are Mom?"

Ayano's mom said, "They're getting washed right now."

Ayano replied, "But I don't hear the washing machine."

Ayano's mom said, "The washing machine broke. Since your dad hates how much repairmen charge we had the clothes sent to the laundromat."

Ayano asked, "When did you take them to the laundromat?"

Ayano's mom answered, "Last night. They're probably done by now. Could you get them for me?"

Ayano said, "Okay."

Ayano walked outside and went to the laundromat. She was still in her pajamas, but most of the other laundromat customers were too she didn't stand out in a bad way. She spent several minutes finding which washing machine had her family's clothes. After taking the clothes out of the washing machine she put them in the dryer. She didn't want to spend hours waiting for the clothes to dry so she decided that she would pick up the clothes later.

Ayano went back home and went into her bedroom. She got a call from her girlfriend, Toshino Kyoko. Ayano picked up the phone and said, "Hi Kyoko."

Kyoko replied, "Hi darling. Are we going to spend today together?"

Ayano said, "I'd love that."

Kyoko replied, "We could meet up for lunch at th new fast food place."

Ayano looked at her watch and noticed that it was almost elven in the morning. By the time she got her dresses back from the dryer and finished getting ready it would be past lunch time. She sighed and said, "I can't meet you for lunch. I'm having a chaotic morning."

Kyoko replied, "Okay. Do you wanna have dinner together instead?"

Ayano smiled and said, "That sounds wonderful. I'll meet you at the fast food place at five p.m."

Kyoko replied, "Okay sweetheart."

Ayano started brushing her hair, but her hairbrush broke in half. She angrily said, "What a cheap hairbrush."

Ayano was going to brush her teeth, but she noticed that her toothbrush isn't where it usually was. She spent a few minutes looking for it, but she found out that it was in the garbage can.

Ayano went to the living room and turned on the TV, but the cable wasn't working. She was pretty upset about that. She managed to keep herself from screaming any curse words.

However Ayano's mom could tell that Ayano was upset so she asked, "What's going on?"

Ayano answered, "Nothing seems to be working. I was looking forward to a day of thankfulness, but I've been getting a day of disappointment."

Ayano's mom said, "When I'm feeling stressed I take a shower to relax. Considering that you haven't taken one yet this seems like a good time."

Ayano replied, "Okay."

Ayano went to the bathroom and got the shower ready. She reached for the shampoo bottle, but there was none left. She reached for another bottle, but she grabbed a soap bottle instead of shampoo. She squirted soap on her hair. She tried grabbing another bottle, but she grabbed a bottle of mustard. She was upset about the situation and was confused by the fact that there was a bottle of mustard in the bathroom.

Ayano finished her mildly clean shower and got on her bathrobe. She went to her bedroom and looked for a towel to dry off, but all the towels were gone. She sighed angrily when she remembered that the towels were being dried off at the laundromat.

Ayano's mom walked in and said, "The laundry's probably ready to pick up."

Ayano asked, "Can you get the laundry this time?"

Ayano's mom said, "I wish I could, but I'm preparing a surprise Thanksgiving dinner for your dad."

Ayano sighed and said, "I'll go get the laundry."

Ayano's mom smiled and said, "Thank you. You're the best."

Ayano started walking to the laundromat. Since she didn't get a chance to dry off water dripped across the sidewalk. She went into the laundromat and quickly picked up the laundry.

Ayano went into her bedroom and got on a green dress. She posed in front of the mirror and said, "I think this looks cute enough." Her mirror started to fall. She picked it up before it broke. She said, "Apparently I don't look that good since I almost made my mirror crash to the ground."

Ayano went to the living room. Ayano's dad walked in and accidentally dropped a pizza. The pizza landed on Ayano and her dress. She angrily asked, "What's going on?"

Ayano's dad nervously said, "I'm sorry. I was going to cook your mom a pizza as a surprise. I'm glad I got two pizzas since I accidentally dropped one of the pizzas. Do you think that she'll like it?"

Ayano realized that both of her parents were planning a Thanksgiving dinner for each other. She said, "I'm sure you'll have a full meal."

Ayano looked ticked off while walking back to her bedroom and changing into a black dress. She went back to the living room and asked, "How does this black dress look?"

Ayano's mom said, "Very nice."

Ayano said, "I'm going to go to my date with Kyoko."

Ayano's mom replied, "Okay."

Ayano went outside. While walking she fell into a giant water puddle. She had gone through too many upsetting things to care at this point. She walked to the fast food place while walking like she had just dealt with a rain storm.

Ayano walked up to one of the employees and asked, "What type of food do you have?"

The employee said, "We have fries and that's the only type of food we have left. We ran out of the other food."

Ayano asked, "How did that happen?"

The employee calmly said, "This is a new fast food place."

Ayano sighed and said, "I'll have a large fry. Do you have any drinks left?"

The employee said, "We have some soda, but it expired today so drink it fast."

Ayano sat down and waited for Kyoko. She was still soaked from the water puddle. She felt angry and embarrassed.

Several minutes later Kyoko arrived and sat down at Ayano's table. She said, "Hi sweetheart."

Ayano replied, "I had a hard time getting here. It's been an ungratefully bothersome day."

Kyoko held Ayano's hand and said, "I'm sorry to hear that. I'll give you a sweet hug." She hugged Ayano and noticed how soaked Ayano was. Kyoko asked, "Did you take a bath with your clothes on?"

Ayano answered, "I haven't done that since I was ten. I fell into a water puddle and I was too stressed out to change again."

Kyoko said, "Lets forget about this day and this crappy restaurant."

The employee said, "It's a new restaurant so cut us some slack." Kyoko stuck her tongue out at the employee.

Ayano and Kyoko walked out of the restaurant. Kyoko took Ayano to a nearby park. Almost everybody was gone since it was Thanksgiving so Ayano and Kyoko enjoyed the nice looking park and the beautiful sky in peace.

Ayano wasn't in the mood for talking at first so she and Kyoko cuddled with each other for a few minutes in silence. Kyoko's comforting embrace made Ayano forget about her stress. She said, "I'm not thankful for a lot of the things that happened tonight, but I'm thankful for you. You somehow managed to turn a miserable Thanksgiving into a lovely day. Thank you."

Kyoko smiled and responded, "You're welcome my love."

Ayano said, "I love you."

Kyoko jokingly replied, "You totally rock."

Ayano said, "Hey."

Kyoko laughed and said, "I'm sorry. I love you too." She kissed Ayano which made Ayano blush.

Before Ayano could finish blushing Kyoko held her hand which made her blush even more. Ayano whispered, "This is the best Thanksgiving that I've ever had."

Kyoko replied, "I'll make sure the next one is even more special." Ayano and Kyoko stared at each other with big smiles on their faces. They were so thankful to have each other.
