Hello! I'm back. This chapter was meant to be posted yesterday, but my iPad was glitching so I had to wait. So I'm going to tell you guys how old Miharu is: 18. In the Last Song, there is a chapter saying how old everyone is. I might say their ages again, just not now.

This chapter is dedicated to thefrozencherryblossom. Thanks for reading this!


Episode 7- The Tickets

3rd Person POV

"I did it!" Syo exclaimed. "I won the tickets!"

As it so happened, Syo had been talked into entering a contest by Shori and Miharu. The winner would win all-day tickets to a festival going on in town. "Congratulations, Syo!" Shori exclaimed.

"Thanks," he replied, "but are you sure she will want to go with me?"

Shori and Miharu looked to each other and smiled knowingly. "Yeah, she will," Miharu said.

Wait. We are to far ahead. Lets back up to two days earlier . . . .

XoXoX

Shori and Miharu had been in the kitchen that day, conversing about how to get Syo and Yukino together. Shori, her health now restored, was saying that they should play Seven Minutes in Heaven, but Miharu made the good point that Yuki might not get Syo. Now the two were stuck.

Shori logged into her laptop, which was sitting in front of her on the table. She went in and entered her word document. She began typing in her story, when she got an idea. Shori went on the internet, and began searching. "Aha!" she exclaimed after a moment.

"What?" Miharu asked suspiciously.

"I have the perfect plan," she said. "We get Syo to fill out a fake survey with a prize for tickets to the festival." She showed Miharu the website selling tickets. "Then, we just put the tickets in an envelope with a letter of congratulations and get him to take Yuki."

Miharu thought the plan over, "I don't want to know what plans the dark side could come up with if you helped them."

Shori grinned up at the composer. Then, a certain blond entered the room. "Oh, hey Shori-chan, Saito-chan," Syo said.

"Hi, Syo-kun," they replied.

Syo grabbed something out of the fridge before turning back to face them, "Have either of you seen Yukino-chan? I haven't been able to find her all day."

Shori shook her head, "No, I haven't. I think she was heading out for an interview and recording. She mentioned something about coming back late because she wanted to go visit her family. Why?"

He shrugged, "No reason." Shori and Miharu looked at each other and smirked. "You don't have a crush on Yukino, do you?" Miharu asked slyly.

"N-no! What ma-made you think th-that?!" he said defensively, his face rapidly becoming red.

Shori's smirk widened, "Denial is the first sign of love, Syo. Don't you know that?"

Syo sighed, "Fine, I like Yukino-chan. Just don't tell her, okay?" Shori and Miharu exchanged another look. "Well, I have the perfect plan for you," Miharu said.

"What?" Syo asked confused.

"Well," Shori began, typing something quickly on her laptop, "I'm printing this survey out. It says that if you win, you get two tickets to the festival. If you win, you can take Yuki, she loves festivals."

"Really?" Syo asked. Shori nodded, "It's printing out now. Just fill it out and I'll mail it in."

"Thanks, Shori-chan!" Syo exclaimed.

After he left, Shori shook her head, "How simpleminded can men get?" Miharu shrugged, and the two chuckled.

Syo knocked on Yukino's door. He heard her footsteps come closer to the door and was about to back out of his plan when she opened the door. "Oh, hey Syo-kun. I wasn't expecting to see you here."

Syo smiled, "Hi, Yukino-chan. Um, look, I've got these tickets to the festival and, well, I was wondering if you wanted to go with me."

Yukino's eyes widened, "Sure, I'd love to."

Syo smiled, "Great. I'll meet you at the front door tomorrow at ten."

"Alright, sounds great."

XoXoX

Syo and Yukino were at the festival, wearing kimonos (Yuki's a light pink with blue flower designs and Syo's dark blue). They had been walking around for a while now, visiting some booths and playing games. "Oh, Syo-kun, look! Lets try to win a goldfish!" Yukino exclaimed, pointing at the game.

Syo smiled, "How about we get something to eat first? It's almost noon."

"Sure, I think I saw a ramen booth down there, you want that?" Yukino asked. Syo agreed, and the two headed over to eat ramen. After their meal, the pair headed over to the desired booth. Yuki ended up winning two goldfish and Syo, well Syo ended up getting very wet.

Yuki chuckled as she handed Syo a towel the booth keeper was so kind to provide, "Syo-kun, your such a klutz."

"Shut up,"Syo grumbled, taking the towel, his cheeks growing pink. "I blame the damn fish. If he hadn't swam away, I wouldn't have gotten wet."

Yuki looked at him seriously, "Now, Syo-kun, don't blame the poor fish." Syo grumbled again. The two resumed their walk through the festival. Soon, it started to get dark. Yukino's eyes caught a poster, "Oh, Syo-kun! Look, there are going to be fireworks later tonight."

Syo looked at the poster, "Hmm, the best place to see them is on the Ferris Wheel. Do you want to go? They'll be going off soon."

Yukino didn't look as excited, but when she saw Syo's eyes light up, she decided to agree. So the pair headed to the Ferris Wheel. They made it just in time to get on for the firework show. They began the trip to the top.

Yukino looked out the side, but quickly looked away. Syo noticed, and began to worry. The wheel stopped, and the two were at the top. Yuki looked around at began to tremble. "S-Syo-kun?"

He looked over at her, and saw her eyes grow wide, "Yukino-chan? Are you afraid of heights?"
