A/N: This chapter isn't a date, it's like a stepping stone for a further plot. You'll see

"Eh? I'm next, huh?" Yamamoto said in his usual upbeat way. It was just announced a few seconds ago that he was to be the next candidate, and he was taking it fairly good. In fact, he actually agrees with Reborn. Chrome hanging out with her fellow teammates/friends is a good way to get her socially active.

"You are my favorite member as of now, Yamamoto-kun." Reborn haughtily laughed at the disapproving look of Tsuna's. The enthusiasm of Yamamoto was bouncing off the walls, even making Tsuna think that it shouldn't be such a bad idea. Even if the technique was wrong, the moral was right. So it should be okay, right?

Meanwhile, in Kokuyo Land, Chrome was sitting in her gloomy corner as usual. When Ken suddenly turned off the TV, he and Chikusa made their way towards Chrome. She looked up in surprise and asked what was wrong.

"You don't.." Chikusa began.

"Like going on the dates with those idiots right?" Ken finished.

"….I-Actually, I sort of like it. It's …fun", countered the shy Chrome. She had to defend her new found friends and team members. They shouldn't be called idiots, they are better than that.

This was worse than Ken or Chikusa thought. Mukuro specifically told them not to let Chrome get too close to the boys, because when Mukuro takes down the mafia she would certainly revolt. They had to hide her away from those people, or it would backfire.

"Stop hanging out with those kinds of people! I-We won't allow it!" Ken shouted at the trembling girl. She shied away when they started walking towards her. Finally, they backed her up to the wall and made her promise not to do anything that will make her rebel against them. Mukuro also said to obey the baby, so they had to let Chrome go on the dates.

A knock was heard throughout the room, and Ken sighed frustrated. It was another one of those boys. Who was it this time? Trying to keep those idiots from Chrome was getting harder each day. They normally didn't seek out Chrome, they always met on accident.

"It's you."

A laugh was heard at the door, immediately making Chrome jump up and run towards the hall. It was unexpectedly Yamamoto! What was he doing here, at this hour?

"Rain-man?" She asked gasping at the tall lean figure in the doorway. He made his way towards her and smiled asking, "Wanna go on a date with me?"

"I..I don't know if I'm allowed.." Chrome didn't want to upset Ken or Chikusa. But, after much thinking she said yes and waved goodbye. She remembered once that all the girls in her class would always talk about the nice and hot baseball player at Namimori. At first, she never realized that it was Yamamoto, until one of the girls said it out loud; gushing over him like a waterfall.

"Ah! Before I forget, Reborn told me to give you this." Yamamoto ran back and handed over a piece of paper. It was a list of phone numbers, probably the other Vongola members, or anyone associated with the Vongola. Chrome saw that there was also Hibari's phone number. It must've taken a lot of sacrifices to get it, she thought uneasily. None of them would bother calling her anyways, she never needed to talk with them before. But, maybe in a case of emergency..?

"Ken! Chikusa! Can..I have a phone?" Right away, both of the boys whipped their heads at the girl who was usually not needy. They didn't budge at first, and it took hours, but Chikusa finally convinced Ken to give her the cellphone reserved for Chrome only. In the phone directory, Chrome noticed, was Ken's and Chikusa's number already saved. She smiled and entered the numbers on the list one by one. Hesitant, she put down Hibari's number too. Now to get them to save her number on their phone.

She breathes in and sends a very formal text message to all of the boys.

[ ~Chrome Dokuro~

Please save this number under my name, in use of emergency. Sorry to take up your time. Sorry, Cloud-man, Boss, Gokudera, Ryohei, Yamamoto, Basil, Reborn, Bianchi, and Dino. ]

The other members received the text; laughing at how serious the message was. But, it was Chrome after all. She never wanted to intrude on someone's business, if they didn't hound her about it. Hibari on the other hand, was furious that she got his number and apologized to him first. Was he that harsh to everybody? Nonetheless, he saved the number anyways. Only for emergencies, nothing less nothing more.

Only the nice people on the list replied to Chrome, in very numerous ways and tones. She laughed at each one, secretly happy that they would even talk to her back. Reborn called her to tell her that her date with Yamamoto was to be at the baseball game. With that note, he hung up and smiled at the progress that Chrome was making.

The old Chrome would never send a text message that daring, or get a cellphone for that matter.

"I am such a genius. I should get a medal!" Reborn bragged to Bianchi as she fed him cake. Bianchi blushed and thought of the man she loved would be celebrated as the smartest man in the world. And she was his girlfriend! Or, at least will be his girlfriend again.

Yamamoto was smiling as he thought about being at the baseball game with Chrome. Maybe she will understand about strikes, first base, home runs, and fast balls. It would take some teaching, but it will all be worth it when they have fun together. He was eager for the day to come already and root for his favorite baseball team with his first date.

Vindice Prison (I have a feeling I spelled this wrong..)

"Oh? I'm being released because mafia baby requested for it?", Mukuro asked amused. The baby was sitting right in front of him with a smirking face. This was part of his scheme again, isn't it?

"Yes, Mukuro. You are to participate in the dating ga-plan with Chrome. First, you get to date Chrome before Hibari. Aren't you happy?"

All was going according to plan, if all goes well, Chrome would be the most popular girl in Namimori! Then she'll get tons of boyfriends, only if Tsuna and his friends allow it of course. They are more like family than friends. And that was most important than having trust and bonds in the Vongola Familigia.

"…Hibari will get irritated won't he? Kufufufu.." Mukuro chuckled, laughing his famous laugh.

"Are you going to do it?"

"You bet I am, little mafioso.."
