Today was the day. Hajime was going to confess no matter what. Last night Hajime prepared a letter containing all his feelings for Chiaki and he planned to read it to her.

With the letter in his shirt pocket, Hajime entered the stage area. "Yo Hajime" Akane said "I need your help over here". Hajime walked over to find Akane painting a backdrop. "What do you need" Hajime asked. "I'm almost done painting the backdrop but I need a lift" Akane said. "Can't you get nekomaru to help you" Hajime asked. "I would but he's in the bathroom" Akane said. "Fine I'll help" Hajime said. "Good now just let me on your shoulders and I'll paint as fast as possible" Akane said. After a few scuffles Akane started painting while Hajime acted as her stool. "Please h hurry" Hajime gasped. "Relax I'm almost done" Akane said" and done". Once she finished painting, Akane jumped off of hajimes shoulders. "Geez you need to work out more" Akane said "maybe get nekomaru to train you". "S sorry if I don't meet your standards" Hajime panted as held his knees "I'm going to get a drink". "Okay just don't pass out on the way there" Akane said as Hajime stumbled away.

At the vending machine Hajime ran into Hiyoko. Sadly his favorite drink orange soda was sold out, but Hiyoko had the last one. "Hey um are you going to drink that" Hajime asked. "Nah I hate this brand so I'm giving it to mikan" Hiyoko said. "Wait if I pay you can I have it" Hajime asked. "Sure" Hiyoko said. Once the two traded Hiyoko slowly walked away. Hajime happily opened the soda, excited to taste it's orangey goodnes. Unfortunately it turned out that Hiyoko shook the can and thus when it was opened it spayed Hajime right in the face. Before Hajime could curse Hiyoko she ran away laughing. Infuriated Hajime walked to the restroom to clean up.

When Hajime walked into the bathroom he was greeted with the most god awful smell. Pinching his nose, Hajime washed his face. His shoulders still ached from supporting Akane. Suddenly nekomaru came out of the stall behind him. "Ah Hajime it seems your shoulders are aching" nekomaru said. "Yeah" Hajime said. "Here I can give you a massage than" nekomaru said. Hajime agreed. When nekomaru finished the massage Hajime felt revitalized. "Thanks for the massage" Hajime said. "Anything for my fellow school mate" nekomaru said.

Hajime returned to the stage to find a white horse on the stage. "Um what's with the horse" Hajime asked. "How dare you refer to min-t as anything less than a beautiful unicorn" gundam said. "Sorry it's my mistake" Hajime said. "Don't apologize to me apologize to min-t" gundam said" or I shall freeze you where you stand". "I'm sorry min-t" Hajime said. Min-t stepped forward and started licking his face. "It seems she forgives you" gundam said. "Great" Hajime said trying to tolerate the onslaught of licks. Suddenly min-t sniffed hajimes shirt before pulling out the letter and eating it. "Wait no I need that" Hajime said trying to pull the letter out from min-ts mouth, but he was to late. With one gulp the letter was gone and Hajime fell to his knee filled with despair. "I apologize for min-ts behavior" gundam said. "It's fine I think I'm going to go outside now" Hajime said with a hopeless voice before walking away.

Outside Hajime sat under a tree. His spirit dampened by defeat. "What is wrong with you" a solemn voice asked from above. Hajime looked up to see peko sitting in a tree. "Peko have you ever loved someone but were too afraid to ask them out" Hajime asked. "Yes" peko said. "How do you deal with it?" Hajime asked. "It's like sword fighting" peko said "you have to wait for the perfect moment to strike without fear or hesitation". Hajime nodded in agreement. "Right now it seems the perfect moment to confess love is after the play is finished" peko advised "now if you'll excuse me my target has arrived". Suddenly peko jumped out of the tree and lunged towards a nearby cat. The cat dashed away forcing peko to follow it. "Am I the only normal one?" Hajime muttered to himself.
