Invite 6: Girls Bravo
The school day ended for Yukinari, Miharu and Kirie. They headed home and ready to do homework and see their Seiren friends. "Man, I'm so hungry," the teen boy nervously chuckled. "I'd eat anything at this point!" Miharu giggled to Yukinari's announcement.
"I thought Miharu packed you a 'delicious' lunch," Kirie recalled.
"She did, but she had… samples before finishing my lunch." Miharu giggled, not guilty of her snacking on his meal.
"I wanted to make sure the lunch tasted good," the bubbly pink-haired Seiren girl explained. Soon enough, they arrived at Yukinari's home. Miharu opened the gate and the other two walked through. Yukinari opened the door to enter the house. Miharu started to wonder what Kirie wanted from Yukinari. "Kirie, what about your home?"
"Easy," she started. "I got no food at home. Thought I'd eat with you." Miharu smiled, understanding Kirie's reason. That's when Tomoka and Koyomi met the returning students.
"Short stuff's home!" cheered the young blond. Koyomi wasn't as excited.
"How was your day?" she asked with a smile.
"Not bad," Yukinari replied. From on Tomoka's head, Ebi bounced on the owner. "Ebi, what's wrong?" Tomoka realized what Ebi alerted to.
"Oh yeah!" she realized. "Shorty got a package today!" Yukinari seemed surprised about the news.
"A package?" Miharu thought the package stemmed from something she ordered but used Yukinari's name.
"It must be that item I ordered online," she believed. Yukinari and Kirie mulled to the thought.
"Miharu, I understand that you have a job but still..." groaned Kirie. Entering the living room, those who were at school saw the small package. Miharu deciphered the package wasn't her online purchase.
"What I ordered was bigger than what's in here." Yukinari glanced to the package.
"No return address," he pointed on the labels. "If this is from an admirer- which I think is silly- I can't take it. From all I know, Lisa probably wants to give me something to try for my Girl Rash." Opening the package despite his guess, he found a pair of bus passes, a pair of airline tickets and a brochure inside.
"That's not extra medicine for your Girl Rash," Koyomi noted. Tomoka found a letter with the items and read it.
MR. SASAKI-
YOU ARE AMONG SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE INAUGURAL ISLAND GETAWAY TO ISLE DELFINO. YOU AND ANOTHER FRIEND WILL JOIN IN A 2-WEEK VACATION, ALL EXPENSES PAID. THERE ARE PLENTY OF SPOTS TO HANG OUT LIKE GELATO BEACH OR NOKI BAY. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.
Yukinari and the girls seemed surprised at the vacation offering. "Isle Delfino?" repeated Miharu. "That can't be an island on Seiren." Tomoka and Koyomi agreed to the assessment.
"Thanks for answering a question I wanted to ask," Kirie sneered. "Still, why would you get these? Was it a random drawing?" Yukinari wasn't sure about these gifts.
"Who knows," he shrugged. He picked up the airline tickets. "I've seen airline tickets from the airport since Mom and Dad have international business meetings on a weekly basis." To Tomoka, this would be a great opportunity to overcome his allergy.
"This is perfect for you, Short Stuff!" she cheered. "You can overcome your girl fears with an island vacation!" Everyone else had doubts about it.
"It's gonna take more than a vacation to overcome Yukinari's phobia," Kirie insisted. Yukinari pondered about the package.
"I guess Miharu and I can go along," he studied. "Though I would wish for at least one more." This confession irked the girls.
"One more?" repeated Tomoka.
"Who would you bring?" asked Koyomi. Yukinari turned to the purple-haired girl.
"You, Koyomi," he opted. "Knowing how Fukuyama goes after you almost all the time since you've been on this mission for Maharu..." Koyomi wasn't sure about Yukinari's offer.
"I don't know… Men being there… I'm already frightened out of my heart with Fukuyama harassing me everyday, I don't think spending time with other men on an island would help me at all." Apparently, Koyomi wasn't the only girl who would prefer normal life over a vacation.
"Besides, I'd be better off going with you, soul-mate!" proclaimed Lisa as she stood by the doorway of the living room. Everyone in the room stood aghast to the arrival.
"Lisa!?" gasped Yukinari.
"What the hell are you doing here!?" demanded Kirie. Lisa scoffed to Kirie's yell.
"You know as well as I do that I won't surrender to Pinky or my soul-mate's allergy," she sneered. That's when she eyed the items from the package. "Isle Delfino?" Lisa felt interested to know where the island's located. "Sounds like a hoot of a place." To Yukinari, the girls had already decided on his traveling companion for the island.
"I'd wish it came with an extra ticket and pass to bring you along," Miharu apologized. Kirie wasn't as sympathetic.
"Besides, do you know how to treat Yukinari's outbreak without making it worse?" she challenged. Lisa took a step back, Kirie's doubt weighing on her.
"Give me a chance to learn and with the help of my black magic, my soul-mate's allergy problems will be cake," she issued. Kirie wasn't buying her wish.
"Besides, I may need you more than you need Yukinari." Lisa didn't like Kirie's option as much as she not willing to grant Lisa a chance to be with the only male in the house.
"And why should I?" Kirie fingered Koyomi to prove her case.
"Whether it's me or Koyomi, your older brother will go after us for his fondling fun." To Lisa, her brother's behavior raised concerns.
"Fine! Can we at least watch them leave?" Yukinari took a moment to ponder.
"I guess it couldn't hurt to watch us leave for this island," he replied. Lisa smiled, praised by the one who she desired.
"You're so caring, Yukinari. Hey, I do have some of Kazaharu's old swimming trunks that you can have. Don't worry, they're in one piece unlike the recent few to show the booby girl." Hearing her offer and description, Kirie remembered some clothes for Miharu.
"I do have a couple of swimsuits that should work for Miharu," she recalled. The offers gave Yukinari and the pink-haired Seiren member joyed.
"That's great, both of you!" he praised. "That can save us time and money for our trip." Lisa smiled again before leaving for home, going to ask the elder Fukuyama about their trip. Kirie dug through some of her clothes and found a handful of gently used and clean clothes that no longer fitted her. The next night, Yukinari and the girls from Seiren, their world where less than 10% of its population are men, had an early dinner, knowing the flight to Isle Delfino left late that night. Lisa had some of Kazaharu's maids drive the group to the airport where the flight would leave from. They entered, not much activity occurring.
"Guess it's not as busy tonight," Tomoka noticed. To Miharu, it was a place she hadn't experienced.
"Is a ride on a plane as fun as a ride in a car?" she questioned. Yukinari realized that Miharu hadn't flown before.
"Oh yeah," he awed. "This will be your first time flying. Don't worry. By the time we're in the air, we'll be asleep." To prove his point, Yukinari stretched himself and yawned.
"You'll be fine, Miharu," Koyomi assured. Miharu smiled and nodded.
"Thanks, Koyomi," she giggled. Yukinari found their terminal and gate for their flight to Isle Delfino. Ebi jumped from Tomoka's head to Miharu and barked something. To Tomoka, Ebi wanted to join.
"Did you want to go to the island, too?" she asked. Ebi barked again. Miharu smiled to have Ebi come with them.
"Okay, but you can hide in here!" Ebi didn't mind entering Miharu's bag. It found snacks to eat.
"Next terminal over," he announced. Everyone found the terminal and then the gate. To Koyomi, Tomoka, Lisa and Kirie, this would be the last time they see Yukinari and Miharu for two weeks.
"We can't go any further," Tomoka complained. "Well, you two have fun and bring back pictures of your trip!" Yukinari laughed.
"I will, Tomoka." Kirie now confronted Miharu with some last minute details.
"I know how much you love Yukinari," she reminded. "Make sure he's okay. Is something happens to him..." Miharu placed a hand on Kirie's shoulder, a sign to relax.
"Kirie..." she hushed. "I promise not to let anything bad happen to Yukinari." Understanding, Kirie nodded, allowing her to go on.
"Alright. Take care." Kirie watched as Yukinari and Miharu passed through security clean. Still, she felt some ache. 'Someday, I want to give Yukinari the love that everyone else took from him. I don't hate you, Miharu. In fact… you're the only one right now that can give Yukinari hope.' Yukinari and Miharu only waited for about 15 minutes before someone confronted the two.
"Isle Delfino?" he asked. The two handed the tickets to the worker. "Good… I've been told your flight's ready for takeoff. I'll open the door for you two." The worker opened the hatch to let the two through the tunnel. Only a pair of seats welcomed Yukinari and Miharu.
"So we just sit here and the plane will fly us?" guessed Miharu.
"That's right," Yukinari replied. "We can sit, sleep or whatever we want. Just not right away." Miharu looked confused.
"What do you mean?" Yukinari pointed to the speakers as Miharu brought Ebi out. The speakers turned on.
"Everyone on board the flight from Narita Airport to Sunshine Airport, this is your captain speaking," sounded someone over the radio com. "In about 15 minutes, we'll be taxied out to the tarmac where we'll be lifting off for about an eight-hour flight. When we take off, please turn all electronics off until we reach ten thousand feet above sea level. Everyone, please relax and enjoy our flight." Miharu had an awkward question as she looked inside.
"Yukinari? Do vibrators count as… electronics?" Yukinari gasped at what item Miharu had.
"Why do you have a vibrator?!" he shrieked.
"Lisa said I may need it for relief." The small plane started to taxi to the runway. "In fact, she made a 'boy's vibrator' for you." Yukinari was left speechless. He slapped his forehead in dismay.
"That girl needs a talking to." Soon enough, the plane for Isle Delfino was given clearance. All inside relaxed as the plane began its run down the runway. Before long, it began to ascend. Once turbulence settled, Yukinari and Miharu fell asleep, anticipating a smooth ride. The plane entered clouds and vanished. Vacation began for Yukinari Sasaki and Miharu Sena Kanaka.
