Next day, 10 o'clock of the morning.
Kagami and Tsukasa were in the main door of home. Each one was bringing a pack in hand. The rest of the family was saying goodbye to them.
"You don't need anything else?" The big sisters asked.
"Anything else. We're ready to go." Tsukasa answered.
"We have to meet our mates in a place." Kagami added.
"Onee-chan! Let's hurry, we're late!" Tsukasa warned.
"Yeah, of course..." Kagami answered.
"We'll miss you... Have fun!" The father said.
"Good traveling, we'll take care of your fish!" The mother said.
"Thanks, wish us luck!" Kagami answered as she was leaving the house with Tsukasa.
Minami, Miyuki, Yutaka, and Konata were waiting for the remaining girls in the school.
"Aren't Kagami and Tsukasa arrived yet?" Yutaka asked, looking around for the Hiiragi sisters -though she didn't see anybody.
"Heh, how rare in Kagami, being late..." Konata said.
"Eh! Here they come!" Miyuki pointed Kagami and Tsukasa, who were running to the school.
Once they arrived, Kagami asked, tired "Where are the other ones? We've got 15 minutes to get in the train!"
"Not saying hello. Just ask. Typical from Kagami-sama..." Konata made fun of Kagami.
"Shut up! We're risking our future!" Kagami shouted.
"Oh! Here they come, too!" Miyuki pointed to four girls running to the group: Hiyori, Patricia, Misao and Ayano.
"Sorry for the late, gals!" Misao said when they arrived.
"What happened for being late?" Kagami asked directly.
"Look who talks..." Konata replied.
"Shut up!" Kagami exclaimed.
"Classic problems in the last moment..." Patricia answered Kagami's question.
"Well, let's go, we're losing our train..." Kagami said, and then all the gals followed her, because she knew the way to the train station.
All of them were wearing their own clothes, instead of bringing the school's ones; they brought their own shirts and trousers (and shoes, too); and they brought their packs (and Minami's one was too big).
As they were walking, a conversation happened:
"You're bringing your tickets, right?" Kagami asked.
Konata checked her pocket and put a scared face "Ah! But have we to bring the tickets?"
"Did you forget it?" Kagami was scared too.
Konata suddenly put that smile and showed the tickets to Kagami "Sorry, just kidding."
"Konata... You..." Kagami gritted her teeth and her fist, but she was just keeping in her way to the station.
"Tamura-san, what are you bringing in your pack?" Yutaka asked Hiyori.
"Well, clothes, money, manga and my laptop for drawing better, you know?" Hiyori answered.
"Ah! I'm sure you've done many mangas with that laptop!"
"Yes, of course."
"Someday you'll show me these?"
Hiyori was shocked in that moment "This... I don't think that it's convenient..."
"Ehh? Why not?"
Hiyori thought, nervously "Sorry, I'm sorry... These mangas are based between you and Minami..."
The gals finally arrived to the station, but there wasn't any train in sight.
"It can't be... It's already 10:25!" Kagami exclaimed.
"Kagamin... Why do you want so much to the excursion?" Konata asked.
"It's..." Kagami blushed "It's nothing..."
"Hey, look!" Yutaka pointed at the train approaching to the station.
The train stopped in the station, it opened its doors and the gals entered in.
"Where are we sitting?" Tsukasa asked.
"Look! There are many free seats!" Misao pointed to the seats.
"C'mon, let's go." Miyuki said.
Indeed there was almost nobody on the train, as it was Sunday morning and people should be resting. On the train there were a number of seats: two rows of seats on the sides and in each row there were many pairs of seats. The gals sat directly to the seats: Kagami sat with Tsukasa, Miyuki with Konata, Ayano with Misao, Patricia with Hiyori; and Minami with Yutaka. Each girl dropped her pack in her feet.
A inspector entered in the section of the train, where the gals were, he went there and:
"Tickets, please." The inspector asked.
To each girl who asked for the ticket, she gave him her respective ticket to the inspector. So in succesion until all 10 tickets had been delivered.
"Enjoy of the trip." The inspector said, and left the section.
"How polite is the inspector." Yutaka said "Don't you think, Iwasaki-san?"
In that moment, Yutaka looked at Minami, who was watching the beautiful landscape through the window with a smile.
"Beautiful the world, isn't it?" Yutaka asked Minami.
Minami reacted suddenly, she didn't expected that someone would talk with her "Ah... Yes."
"Don't you have a camera for immortalizing these moments, or landscapes?"
"Yes..."
"And why don't we take a photo of ourselves now, to starting well in the trip?"
"Yes, sure..." Minami took her digital camera from her pack, it was very modern.
Yutaka came together with Minami, she put her hand in front of them and turned it around for taking the photo. Minami pressed the button and the camera took a photo. Minami and Yutaka approached the camera to see the photo.
In the photo appeared Yutaka and Minami, together and with their nice smiles.
"Ah! How cute picture, Iwasaki-san..." Yutaka said.
"Really...?" Minami asked.
"You're beautiful in it!"
When Minami heard these last words, she started to feel a internal noise, a noise which she never heard before... It was her heart, beating impulsively, and fast... Minami tried to relax.
"What's wrong, Iwasaki-san?" Yutaka asked.
Minami started to breath quietly and slowly, for not worrying Yutaka "I'm... I'm okay, just a bit nervous..."
"Ah! Want a sweet?" Yutaka picked from her pack the little bag of sweets and offered them to Minami "Pick one, there's many tastes."
Minami picked from the bag a red sweet, and began to eat it. Yutaka, then, noticed that Minami liked the sweet.
"Is over there many of those?" Minami smiled.
"Yes. Want some more?" Yutaka asked.
"No, we better keep them for the destination. Is not good eating during a trip in a transport."
"You see. It stunk all year." Kagami said.
"Yes, I know." Tsukasa answered.
Kagami looked at Konata for a while, and then she looked at her pack.
"Konata, what are you bringing in that pack?" Kagami asked.
"Some mangas, videogames, my Wii, my Nintendo DS..." Konata answered.
"You don't bring any clothes?"
"Nah, only the necessary ones. A pair of shirts, trousers, underwear..."
"With only a pair of each type of clothes you won't go anywhere!"
"Spoke the one who picks clothes which suits her well..."
"Shut up!"
