Young Isogai groaned as the daycare lady told him that his parents wouldn't be coming to get him for awhile. All the other kids had gone home so Isogai was all alone.

"Sorry Yuma, but we got a call from the hospital, your mommy is sick right now. They wanted you to stay here until they could pick you up.

"But I wanna go home!" Whined Isogai. "At least bring Hiro back!"

"Sorry but Hiroto is home and we can't just bring him back here." Said the attendant. "There is someone here though, the owner's niece. Shes your age and shes going to be here awhile too."

"But girls are icky!"

"Well its either play with her or be alone." Said the Attendant. "Your choice."

"Fine..."

Isogai got up and made his way into the play area, where a girl his age wearing a pink dress with long greyish brown hair played with a doll. She noticed Isogai and smiled.

"Hi there."

"Hey..."

Isogai walked over and took a seat next to her.

"Do you wanna play with my doll?"

"No thanks..."

"Oh..." She said, looking dejected. "How about we play house? I'll be the mommy and you can-"

"Not into house." Said Isogai.

"Oh... Well what about dress up?"

"Why are all your suggestions so girly?" Asked Isogai.

"... Because I am a girl."

Isogai sighed and got up.

"This is stupid." Muttered Isogai.

The young boy got up and walked towards the building blocks,and began stacking them into a lousy looking fortress.

"... Am I not fun?" Asked the girl.

"Can't tell." Said Isogai. "But you haven't done a single fun thing yet."

The girl started to tear up.

"I'm... Not fun... *Sniff*..."

Isogai realized what he had done and ran over to the girl.

"Hey hey its alright, we'll just have to think of something fun!" said Isogai. "Fun for both of us."

"*Sniff*... Really?"

"Really."

Their attention was drawn to a nearby table with a large stack of paper on it and a box of crayons next to it.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Asked Isogai.

"I think so."

They spent a good amount of time drawing together. Isogai drew him, his family, and his friend Maehara while the girl drew mermaids, beaches, and houses. At one point they drew eachother.

Isogai let out a yawn as he set down his crayon.

"I think I've had enough drawing for today..."

Isogai looked at his newfound friend, who was half asleep trying to draw a mer-puppy.

"You look tired."

"I am.

"I could use a nap too..."

The girl tried to get up, only to stumble back slugishly.

"Come on, lets get to the nap area..."

Isogai helped the girl up and led her to a large beanbag chair, setting the girl down on it.

"Good night..." She shut her eyes and fell asleep.

Isogai let out one last yawn before ploping down next to her and shutting his eyes.

"Night."

It was a matter of seconds before Isogai drifted into dream land.

Isogai awoke in his father's arms, head resting on his shoulder.

"Huh?"

His father was walking down the street, the daycare center nowhere in sight.

"Hey there sleepyhead."

"W-Where that girl?" Asked Isogai

"Oh you mean the girl you fell asleep next to? Shes back at the daycare center, might still be asleep."

Isogai's father smiled.

"So what was her name?"

Isogai made a dejected frown.

"I don't know..."

Years later Isogai shook hands with his fellow class Rep, a girl with grey-brown hair done up in a ponytail.

"I'm Megu Kataoka, I hope we get along."

"Yuuma Isogai, same."

Isogai stared at the girl, much to her confusion.

"Is something wrong?"

"Sorry, you just... Look kind of familiar." Said Isogai.
