The redhead curled under the blankets and thought for only a moment longer before falling asleep. In the night her unconscious mind began having visions of the frogs doing odd things for her and thinking about her when she was away.
Tamama made her sweets and cakes. Kururu downloaded movies for her. Giroro invited her to a shooting exercise and even got her a special gun. Many more visions like these had followed; but she had enough when she saw Kururu photoshoping her head onto the bodies of swimsuit models. She bolted awake shuddering slightly at the memory. Natsumi looked around to see her friends standing around her bed.
"Are you ok Natsumi?" Koyuki asked.
"You were wrestling with your blankets and then we noticed you were sweating." Momoka said with worry in her voice.
"Thanks guys but it was just a weird dream." Natsumi said smiling slightly embarrassed that she woke her friends.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Mois asked.
"I'm sure you guys wouldn't want to hear what I was dreaming about."
"Dreams are visions that our brains show us as we decipher what our hearts want to tell us. It's important to sit and figure it out before it drives us crazy." Koyuki said taking a seat on the end of Natsumi's bed. "Dororo and I do this every day during meditation. It really feels good to let your fears go by talking about it with a friend."
"Well, I was busy thinking about what Mois said and tried to narrow down which toad has a crush on me. So I guess my mind was still thinking about it when I fell asleep because I started seeing them do things for me. It was really weird, especially what Kururu did."
"Did any of it feel comfortable?" Koyuki asked.
"Well Giroro only did what he would usually do anyway, so I guess I was fine with those bits. The only odd thing about Giroro in my dream was that he blushed more than usual." Natsumi said admitting the one part of her dream that didn't make her feel nauseous or creeped out.
"More than usual?" Momoka asked.
"Yeah don't you notice that he blushes sometimes? It's usually when we're eating sweet potatoes; but in my dream he pretty much turned pink." Natsumi giggled at the thought of a pink Giroro.
"We've never seen him blush." Mois added, more confused on how Natsumi didn't figure this all out sooner.
"Really?" Natsumi didn't even think that maybe he only blushed around her. She quickly thought of another logical theory for his color to change. "Maybe it was just a trick of the light that made me think he blushed. He is red after all. Anyways the rest of my dream was just creepy and awkward."
"Maybe your heart is trying to show you just how close you and Giroro are." Momoka suggested; perhaps the redhead could pick up a hint.
"He is one of my best friends but I doubt he would be into me like that." Natsumi waved away the mere thought. "Dreams aren't always straight with real facts anyway."
"Maybe it's you who wants to-" Koyuki was cut off by a knocking at the door.
"I hate to interrupt ladies but it is time for breakfast and then everyone is expected to arrive for the festivities." Paul's voice was heard through the mahogany door.
"Right, the party!" the girls became excited.
"Thank you Paul we'll be down shortly." Momoka said.
"Yes Miss." Paul's response was followed by his footsteps fading away from the door.
"Alright girls, let's get ready for some fun." Natsumi jumped out of bed smiling brightly and quickly forgot about her dream.
After changing into their summer dresses (each in the color of their favorite frog) and swiftly grooming their hair, the girls went to the dining room and enjoyed a simple breakfast that wouldn't spoil their appetites for lunch and the big barbeque dinner. They were then escorted to the backyard where they found many stations of activities and games. Natsumi smiled at the beautiful garden, she planned to do something that could change her life there.
Not long after they went outside they were joined by Aki who was followed by Fuyuki, Keroro, Tamama, and Giroro.
"Here ya go hun. I even brought the cream for it." Aki handed Natsumi the cake she made the night before and a piping bag full of her home made cream.
"Thanks mom." Natsumi didn't wait before finishing her creation. She then handed it to Paul who would store it with the rest of the food for tonight. Then a gust of wind blew through forcing all of the girls to hold down their dresses.
They looked up to find a giant paper skateboard with some sort of propeller underneath it. Once it lowered to the ground everyone could see Saburo standing on it, Kururu was hanging from the teen's shoulder.
"Wow, nice entrance." Fuyuki said. Natsumi was all too busy trying to keep her dress in control and blushing madly at his awesome to say anything. The board vanished as the white haired teen stepped off.
"Kururu and I brought some new tunes." He held up a disc. "It's stuff from other planets and it will blow your minds."
"I had to leave out the dubstep though. Kukuku it might literally blow your mind into little bloody bits." Kururu chuckled sadistically.
"Well isn't that kind of you." Aki said.
"I just didn't want to have to clean up the mess. Kukukuuu."
Aki smiled at him completely sure that he just had a hard time showing care for others, while everyone else felt odd shivers go through their spines.
"Alright everyone there are more than enough games for us so just split up and enjoy your-selves. Paul will let us know when it's time for Lunch. Then we'll do karaoke, a trivia contest, more game time, and then we'll have the barbeque. After we've filled up we will gather around the bonfire." Momoka gave her small speech of an agenda.
"Everyone, Let's divide and conquer this mass of FUN!" Keroro cried out as he dashed towards one of the games.
Dororo and Koyuki started playing a card game while Giroro challenged Tamama and Aki at a shooting game. Fuyuki and Keroro played some sort of whack a mole as Momoka and Mois watched from the side. Natsumi took her chance to get Saburo's attention. She grabbed his hand before he could walk away.
"Saburo, can I talk to you? In the garden?" Natsumi blushed slightly. She finally got up the courage to speak to him.
