After leaving her luggage at the hotel, Mimi and Koushiro went to have lunch in a nearby restaurant.

- So, for how long are you staying, Mimi-san? – Koushiro asked.

- Four days only. But I intend to make the most out of it!

- What do you want to do?

- Well, I have to go visit obaasan in Kamakura... But I don't want to go alone, the trip is really boring.

- I could accompany you, if you want.

- I was thinking of inviting everyone to join me for a day at the beach, without telling them I'd first visit obaasan.

- We could go this Saturday then.

- Great, that is fixed! Then, I want to go out to some club! But I'm so out-of-date concerning clubs in Tokyo... Is Feria still a hot-spot?

- I guess... I don't get out that much, you know... – said Koushiro – But, wait, have you been there before?

- Haha yes. When I came to visit 9 years ago... The bouncer let me and Sora in, we were all dressed up, you know! He didn't even asked for ID. But that night wasn't fun... We were alone, with lots of guys around us... I wasn't that much confortable.

- You tend to attract people easily enough when you're casual looking, I can imagine the situation being worse when you're all dressed up. – Koushiro sighed.

- Is that so? – Mimi asked playfully – Well, then you'll get to see for yourself when we go to Feria this Saturday!

- Sigh. You're the boss... I have to go now, Mimi-san. See you later. – Koushiro said, while taking his wallet out.

- No, no! – Mimi tapped is hand – Lunch's on me. You were so kind for picking me up, dropping me here, and... giving me flowers. – She slightly blushed – I'll pay for it. Go to work now! I'll see you at dinner!

- Text me the details then. Thank you, Mimi-san. – Koushiro gave her a squeeze in the hand and left.

Mimi finished her meal, paid, and went back to the hotel to have a big bath and relax. Around 5 pm she texted her friends: 'Hey! Let's have dinner tonight. Aqua city at 8pm. Hope to see you all. XxX Mimi'

Later...

Mimi was waiting for her friends at said hour and place. The first to arrive were Sora and Yamato, who had been dating for 4 years now.

- Sora-san! Yamato-san!

- Mimi-chan! – Sora said smiling at her friend.

- How are you? – Yamato completed.

- I'm fine, I'm fine! It's so good to see you! You didn't meet me at the airport! – she said faking a annoyed smile.

- I'm sorry, we were both working. But we're free now to party a little with you!

- A little? No, no. Today's just dinner, but Saturday we'll go to Kamakura during the day, and to Feria club at night!

- Er... I don't think we can make it to Kamakura, Mimi-san. – Yamato said.

- But we'll go to the club with you, promise! - Sora said throwing a glance at her boyfriend. Yamato sighed.

- Are these plans part of your birthday celebrations? – he asked.

- No! These are things I wanted to do while in here. For my birthday, I want to go to some onsen to enjoy a big, big bath. And then we could stay in for the night and make a little celebration.

- I thought so... Keep in mind that we are working people, we're not on vacations!

- What Yamato is trying to say, Mimi-chan, is that we're very happy to celebrate your birthday and visit to Japan, but we'll have to skip some of those plans... – Sora said sweetly - But count us in for the club and your birthday!

Taichi, Hikari, Takeru and Koushiro arrived at that moment.

- Hey! What are you talking about? – Taichi asked.

- Kamakura the day after tomorrow, party at Feria that same night. Onsen the next day with a little birthday celebration at night.

- Wow! Nice plans! Count me in! – Taichi said excited.

Mimi smiled widely and gave him a hug. 'I knew I could count on you, Taichi-san! I missed you!'. The boy blushed a little and tapped her shoulder to get free from her embrace. 'No problem!' he said smiling. Koushiro was silently studying their interaction. It was strange seeing his two bestfriends acting so sweetly towards each other, as their relationship used to range from being goofy to having quarrels the next minute! Still, they were never touchy and sweet, although they obviously cared dearly for one another. Mimi noticed the boy-genius watching her attentively.

- Is something wrong, Koushiro-kun? – she asked.

All faces turned to him, which made him blush deeply.

- No, no! You can count me in for everything as well. - he answered.

- Yes, but I was expecting that already. You never let me down. And I'd hunt you down if you tried! – she said playfully.

Everyone laughed, except for Koushiro, who was again turning bright red.

- Takeru and I won't make it to Kamakura, Mimi-san. But we'll meet you at Feria, and we'll definitely go to the hotspring. – Hikari said sweetly.

- Thank you, Hikari-chan, Takeru-kun. – Mimi said – Everyone else is late! I'll text them to go directly to the restaurant. Let's go, now! I'm hungry!

They all followed Mimi to the restaurant she picked in Odaiba. They all knew the place, as they usually went there when they were younger. Jou, Miyako and Daisuke joined them 10 minutes later.

- Mimi-sama! I'm sorry I'm late. It's Daisuke's fault really, his car broke down. Luckly, Jou-senpai gave us a ride here! – Miyako said, while hugging Mimi tighly – Oh, Ken and Iori can't make it. Ken has just went to Kyoto with his parents, and Iori is studying for his exams...

- Afff, studying at dinner time? – Mimi complained.

- Let him be, Mimi-kun. Exams are serious business! – Jou said – Now, where's my hug?

Mimi smiled widely and threw her arms around her oldest friend.

- That's more like it! – he said, tapping her back and smiling.

- Hey! How about me? – Daisuke cried.

- You want a hug, too? – Mimi asked laughing.

- Well... Yes! I have feelings, you know?

Mimi hugged the boy and gave him a peck on the cheek. He blushed deeply and pushed her away.

- W-what's t-that for?

- I figured you needed some love, Daisu-kun. Are you lonely? – she asked playfully.

- NO! – he cried, hiding his red face behind his hands.

Everyone laughed. Miyako and Hikari crossed arms with him and sat him down at the table. They all had a great time that evening. Miyako said she would love to join Mimi in their trip to Kamakura and the hotsprings, but that she couldn't make it to the club, as she would be working at her family store. Mimi persuaded Daisuke to come to the beach with them. It took some time and effort but he eventually forgave her from the earlier embarrassment, and was happy to join the group. Like Taichi, his senpai, he would attend all of Mimi's plans. As for Jou, he only compromised for the trip to the hotspring.


I looked for fancy clubs in Tokyo and "Feria" seemed really amazing. It was kinda of a random choice, but yeah, free publicity! :P
