Candy {2001}

„If you continue to eat only sweets your teeth will fall out. Or you burst before." Shaking her head she looked at his Bento-Box which was full to the brim with candy. Takeru grinned from ear to ear, shook his head and stuffed his sweets into his mouth. „Want schome?"

"No thanks." Hikari replied seriously, but suppressed the giggle that wanted to slip her at the sight of her best friend. „What happend this time with the lunch from your mother?", she asked and another sly grin was on his lips. „Exchanged.", he replied curtly, pointing to a boy in their classroom who just started to ate Takerus homemade sandwich.

„You have to grow up Teeks.", Hikari reproved him with a sigh.

„Growsch up?", he repeated, again with his mouth full of sweets. „Why? We're onschly ten yearsch old. What isch so bad about a handfull ofsch candy?" With the last word he swallowed and stucked his tongue out at her, which was now stained blue.

Just as she wanted to give him contra, Hikari was caught by a worse coughing fit. She held her hand over her mouth and leaned forward in pain.

Startled Takeru jumped up from his chair and acted quickly. „Mrs. Ayamoto! Hikari has another attack again!"
