They were both seen in a beautiful garden filled with flowers, green trees, green grasses, and harmless animals. The sky was clear with no signs of clouds. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and there was a slight breeze of wind. The both of them were sitting in the middle of a green grass hill top, enjoying their view of animals playing around and butterflies flying from one flower to the next. Sera was wrapped securely in Yamato's arms. It was perfect. Their life was perfect. The dream was perfect. It seemed like nothing was able to tear the both of them apart. Yamato enjoyed holding Sera in his arms while she pointed out certain things to him from the field in front of them. He was enjoying their moment so much that he had failed to realize the dark clouds roaming and rolling in behind them. It wasn't until Yamato felt a huge gust of cold wind grazing his back him when he heard the rolling and roaming of the dark angry gray clouds. He spun around to face it coming right into their once beautiful scenery. In an instant, Sera was gone and Yamato was left alone facing the dark angry clouds by himself. It rolled in like a mob of hungry lions chasing after their prey. He stood up and clenched his fist, ready to face the dark clouds and just when he was about ready, Yamato awoke in his bed, breathing heavily with beads of sweat running down his face. Yamato slowly sat up in his bed and rubbed his face. He took in a deep breath and glanced down at his hands. He saw that there were red fingernails marks imprinted in the palm of his hands.

"A dream…," he says softly and quietly.

"Sorry Leo," an out of breath Yamato approaches the older one. He bends over to catch his breath, "but what's with the hurry? You called me as if you were in some deep trouble or something," Yamato says after his breath became steady. Leo takes in a deep breath and slaps both of his hands on Yamato's shoulders, "eh?"

"Yamato…," Leo says seriously and stares deeply into Yamato's eyes, "I…" he bites his lips and glances down at the sidewalk.

"Are you okay? Tell me, what's wrong," Yamato grabs one of Leo's hand and tightens his grip, letting his friend know that he's here for him and that it's fine telling him what was bothering him so much. After all, Yamato has never seen Leo like this before.

Leo takes in a deep breath and glances back at the younger one in front of him, "Okay…I will tell you," he tells Yamato, "I got a call from Tusk earlier this week," he begins, "about a very important matter. Tusk asked me to go somewhere with him this Saturday and I had agreed at first but….then yesterday he…."

*Leo's Flashback*

"Ooo Tusk," Leo called out to the other man, who was seen standing by the gate to his house, "yo," Leo patted tusk on the shoulder, "what brought you here tonight?" he asked.

"Hey, you know about the favor I had asked of you earlier this week about Saturday?" Tusk said.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"The thing is…," Tusk hesitated and pondered if he should tell his friend that the favor was a double date with Amu and one of her friends. He knew well that Leo was never fond of double dates because the older one thought that it was a nuisance. After all, Leo did once tell Tusk and Yamato that 'what was the whole point of a double date when you can just take the girl, whom you're interested in, on a date by yourself and not have another couple bother you? Double dates are such a nuisance.'

"What is it?" Leo asked again after noticing that Tusk seemed to have gone off into la la land.

"Ah…um..," Tusk shook himself out of his thoughts to face reality again, "the favor…I thought I just come clean with what it is," he told Leo.

"Come clean?" Leo said, tilting his head ever so slightly to the side.

"Yeah," Tusk answered. The younger one took in a deep breath before continuing on, "Saturday…um…the favor," he stuttered, "you see, the favor I had asked of you was to go on a double date with Amu and I and one of her friends," he said.

"Double date?" Leo repeated.

"Yeah," Tusk answered, "I know you don't like double dates…"

"I don't," Leo said, admitting the obvious.

"Sorry," Tusk apologized, "I know I should have told you the favor first before asking you if you wanted to go with me," the younger one bit the bottom of his lips.

"It's fine Tusk," Leo said, "since I'm not fond of double dates, maybe I could ask Yamato if he's willing to go in my place," he offered.

This immediately sparked a happy look in Tusk's face, "Really?" he asked.

"Sure," Leo answered, "Although I don't know why you just didn't ask him first before me," he commented absentminded.

"I couldn't get ahold of Yamato during that time and I was with Amu. She was rushing me to get an answer from Yamato. Since Yamato wasn't answering his phone, I decided to give you a call," Tusk explained, "and then you said yes and…so that's that."

Leo chuckled and patted the younger one on his shoulders, "It's fine, I'm sure Yamato wouldn't mind. I'll talk to him tomorrow and see what he says."

"Thanks Leo," Tusk said with a relieved smile.

*End of Leo's flashback*

"And so…I'm here today to request for you to go and take my spot on Saturday with Tusk and Amu," Leo tells Yamato.

"Really?" Yamato says with an amused expression, "you called me out today for this? You could have just texted or call me over the phone."

Leo laughs and rubs the back of his head, "Yeah about that…sorry," he apologizes, "I thought it was better to talk about it face to face."

Yamato sighs and falls down on the curb behind him, "Hey what's wrong?" Leo asks, sensing that there was obviously something bothering his friend. He takes a seat beside Yamato and pats his back, "I sense something is bothering you," he says, "you look different from yesterday. You don't seem so…happy and energetic."

Yamato lets out a long sigh and runs his hands through his hair, "Do you still believe in arrange marriages?" he asks.

"Arranged marriages?" Leo asks instead of answering the question and then laughs, "That's so old school Yamato."

"I know," Yamato says. He looks up at the empty street and sighs again, "Well my parents still do," he tells Leo.

"Eh? Really?"

"Yeah," Yamato glances down at his hands and fumbles them, "I came home yesterday after the movies and my parents had this folder with this random girl's photo in it. Her name is Takahashi Mimi and she's originally from Kyoto," he begins explaining, "Apparently my parents hope that me and this Mimi girl gets married one day and have grandkids for them."

Leo chuckles a bit and removes his hand from Yamato's back, "This sounds like a drama you find off of the television," he comments.

Leo's comment made Yamato chuckle, "Yeah, tell me about it," He says, "my parents are planning a dinner and wants me to attend. They're planning to introduce me to Mimi."

"Mm…I can see why this is bothering you," Leo says and leans back. Both boys stares out into the empty street not saying anything. The seconds passes by as both boys sat in their current position, not saying one single word, "Say…," Leo finally breaks the silence among them, "the double date…"

"Don't worry about that, I'll go in your place," Yamato interrupts.

"Yeah um…thanks for that but," Leo pats Yamato's back again, "I've got a plan," he announces.

"A plan?"

Leo nods, "It's obvious that you're against this whole arrange marriage thingy," he says, "how about you find yourself a girlfriend? Show to your parents that you're already in a serious committed relationship," he suggests.

"But Leo…I have never dated anyone in my entire life before," Yamato says, "Where am I going to go find a random girl and say 'hey you want to be my fake girlfriend for the time being?' who in the right mind would agree to that?" he asks.

Leo laughs, "Why not that friend of Amu's?" Leo suggests.

"Who? Sera?" Yamato asks.

"No I heard that she's already "dating" this one dude name Fujimoto Kyo. He's a teacher assistant at our university," Leo answers.

"Oh…," Yamato breathes out, a bit disappointed. Somehow, after that day meeting her, he wasn't able to get her out of his head. Doesn't help that once again, he had dreamed about her.

"The girl whom you'll be seeing tomorrow," Leo suggests, "ask her to be your fake girlfriend for the time being until your parents call off this ridiculous plan of theirs."

"Are you crazy?" Yamato asks, "She will never agree to it."

"Who knows, she might," Leo positively says, "don't worry so much Yamato, if you can't find anyone, I'll find one for you," he says and grapples Yamato into a headlock and rubs his head.

"Ah…ow! Leo let go!" Yamato yelps, "I don't want you to be finding me a girlfriend. You'll just end up finding me an older lady!" Leo lets go of Yamato and he pushes away.

Leo laughs and leans back again, "Eh, older ladies are hot okay. They can take care of you," he teases.

"Shut up," Yamato says and fixes the wrinkles in his clothes.

Amu parks her car in front of Sera's apartment. She gets out of the car and makes her way up to the stairs. Reaching the door of her friend's apartment, she rings the doorbell and waits.

"Coming!" Sera yells from inside the building. The door swings open and a half dressed Sera comes into view, "Oh…you're here already?" Sera asks.

Amu nods and pushes her way in, "Not ready yet?" she asks, making her way over to the sofa in the living room. Sera closes the door shut and walks over to the kitchen, "Sera, you need to clean up the living room," Amu comments and removes a pair of shorts from the area that she plans to sit.

"I know" Sera replies and opens the fridge, "want anything to drink?" she asks.

'No," Amu replies, "just hurry up, we're running short," she says.

Sera rolls her eyes and pulls out a bottle of juice, "Hai hai okaasan," she comments and disappears into the hallway.

A few minutes later, Sera descends from the hallway and stands in front of Amu, "How's this?" she asks, spinning around so that her best friend could examine her outfit for the day. Sera was wearing a sky blue loose waist length sweater with a white loose skirt. She wore a pair of white socks that rolled up over her ankles ever so slightly and a pair of two inched boots that covers just the top part of her feet. Her hair was curled into a wave and parted in the middle, showing off her beautiful forehead. Sera had decided to go with a light face makeup instead of a heavy one. Across her body was a medium sized turquoise messenger bag with brown buckling and a brown handle at the top.

"You look cute," Amu comments and stands up. Grasping her handbag, Amu walks up to Sera and grabs her hand, "let's go?" she asks. Sera nods and the two girl takes off to their double date.
