Natsumi was back from school, washing dishes.

"Gosh! When HE comes back, that stupid frog would be...," she stopped, noticing how she was muttering the same thing that didn't make sense. Suddenly, she turned around, thinking that she just heard footsteps and whispers. "Am I imagining things AGAIN? But this time, it seemed so real...or am I going CRAZY?"

"Fuyuki-dono? Natsumi-dono? Anyone home? We're back! Sheesh, so much for a warm welcome de-arimasu!" This time, Natsumi KNEW that this was real. She knew this voice. It sounded so familiar. It was so... "Boke-gaeru! Where the hell WERE you?" Words jumped out of her mouth automatically before she could even think. 'Boke-gaeru?,' she thought, and everything came back, everything from that day, 5 years ago. 'Yes! So I wasn't going crazy! I was right all along!,' she thought and turned to face Keroro.

"N...Na...Natsumi? Is that really YOU?"

"Nachi, are you alright?"

"Natsumi-dono, did you go into my room and use Kururu's invention?" Natsumi looked like something close to when she turned an adult couple times by Kururu's invention. Everyone in the platoon asked her what was wrong, not noticing that it has been 5 years since they've left, not 5 days.

"Yes, yes, I'm all right. But where WERE you for 5 YEARS? You...you said you'd come back in 5 days!" Natsumi answered, almost crying.

"5 years? What do you mean? Stop pulling my legs! So, where's Fuyuki-dono?"

"Stupid frog, you're so dumb! It's really been 5 years, retard! Look at the calendar!" And as they observed, it really did seem like it's been 5 years here in Pekopon. Nothing much has changed in the town nor the house, but it had been 5 years.

"So, where's Fuyuki-dono?" Keroro asked after they really did notice the truth.

"He...He forgot all about you! He's just gone different after the day you left!"

"Fu...Fuyuki-dono did? My friend, Fuyuki-dono?"

"Though I wouldn't really call him your friend though, stupid frog. He lost interest in Occult too...," and so, she told them all about what had happened after their disappearance.

"Momo-chi..."

"Koyuki-dono..."

"Shit...Saburo, where the..."

"Though I DO have letters from each of them. Where did they go...oh, here they are. This one is from Saburo-senpai...

Dear Natsumi-chan,

Hi, It's been a year and they haven't come back yet, huh? I wonder where they went off to.

OK, something I never told you... I must tell you before I leave, though. I was 623 on the radio. And now, I have to leave for that reason. I did have opportunities a little like this before, but Giroro stopped me. This time, no one stopped me, so I feel like I must go. Kururu's not here anyways. Of course, I'll be missing you a lot. And I do hope that we'll see each other again someday...

Saburo/623," Natsumi read out the first letter out of the three. Kururu said, "Sheesh, you did have to tell someone your secret, 623?", but no one could see what was going on behind his big glasses.

"...Do you have Momo-chi's?" asked Tamama, his voice sounding so teary.

"Yes, and uh, here it is.

Natsumi-san

Hello, It's almost 2 years after they've gone, isn't it? As you know, Fuyuki-kun has gone a little different, and...all right, I'm going to tell you, but I really had a big crush on your brother until yesterday. He's just not...my type anymore. And without him and Tama-chan, there's no reason to stay here. I'll be going on a world-cruise with my father, and after that, I'll probably live...somewhere. I can't tell you that. I hope that Tama-chan and his friends are okay.

-Number one fan of Tamama Nitouhei, Momoka Nishizawa."

"MOMO-CHI!! I REALLY MISS YOU TOO! WHERE'RE YOU??" Tamama was now seriously crying for his lost partner. His voice seemed to be echoing through the entire neighborhood, but no one there stopped him. Kururu was cursing and muttering under his breath, Keroro wasn't crying, but his face was quiet serious from what he heard about his old-friend, Fuyuki, Natsumi was already in a sad mode since the day this became a problem, Dororo was respecting the mood, and...and...the hot-blooded red soldier? He was going hyper, the only one who didn't seem so sad, since Natsumi was HUGGING HIM!! Well how could he be sad at all? His partner was right here, loving him more than ever, and his 'secret' crush was holding him!!

"And here, this is from Koyuki-chan...

Dear Natsumi-san,

You know how Dororo and his friends has been missing for a while now. I'm going to look for them. After I find them, I'll come back, so don't you worry about me!

Love, Koyuki"

"Koyuki-dono...She had been looking for me. So she didn't forget..."

"Wow, this is rare. Our leader has been forgotten, but not Dororo-senpai? Kuku," Kururu stated, though everyone could tell that he sounded a little hollow.

"Fuyuki-dono, you haven't forgotten, right? I...If you have, I...I, Keroro Gunso will get your memories back together, and same goes with our other partners. We, Keroro Platoon, will get our partners back!" Everyone nodded silently...except for Giroro, who was already in a heaven...
