I plopped down on the surprisingly comfortable metal chair and rested my chin on my palm.

"You gonna eat that?" Piko pointed to my sandwich, his mouth full.

I grabbed it up defensively, "I just sit down."

He shrugged, "I tried."

I quickly ate my Hunter. The overstuffed baguettes roast beef and lettuce spilled out the sides, and I removed the tomato before stuffing it into my mouth. I inhaled it in a matter of seconds, much to Kaito's surprise.

"Kiyo, I didn't know you could do that."

"I guess I was hungry," I stared at the empty wrapper, "I surprised myself."

He lifted his spoon in the air and inspected the green tinted ice cream before shoving it though his lips, "So that cashier girl…."

"Oh Gumi?" Piko looked up from his phone.

"You know her name?" I asked.

He blushed furiously, "Well…I guess…."

Kaito stood up and pushed his hands against the table, "Ahhhh Piko!"

"Wh..what?" He stuttered.

I smiled and pushed his ahoge with my finger, "You got it bad."

"What!? I don't have any virus! Right?" His eyes grew frantic, "Right?"

Kaito swung his arm around Piko's shoulder, "You have a very special kind of virus."

"Oh no!" Piko slammed his forehead against the table, "Is it curable?"

"It's very difficult to cure." I scooted my chair closer placed my head on his shoulder, "It's the whole reason I went to the mall."

"To get a girlfriend?" Piko's face grew confused, "but wait…that means." Realization flooded into his eyes as he pushed us away, "Wait, no!"

Kaito and I laughed as we adjusted ourselves on our seats. "You like Gumi, don't you?"

He shook his head, his cheeks growing an even brighter shade of red, "No!"

"Let's postpone O.K." I lifted Piko up to his feet, "And work on you instead."

"It's Piko time." Kaito stood up as well, "And the time to act is now." He winked.

"Alright," Piko surrendered, "only if," he thrust his finger into our faces, "you don't interfere."

I gently pushed his arm down, "Of course."

Kaito grinned, "We're here to help."

Piko nodded skeptically, "'Kay then." His eyes quickly glanced to one side and he grabbed our hands, "Quick hide!"

He threw us behind a plant.

"What was that all about?"

"She was walking this way."

"Seriously?" Kaito pushed his finger into his cheek, "Don't overreact."

Piko sighed, "Okay, I was just…just…"

"Nervous?" I guessed.

"Yeah."

Kaito turned Piko towards himself, "Piko, Piko listen to me man, okay? You gotta be brave, strong. You can do this. Just," he flipped his hair, "be cool."

"Easy enough for you." Piko muttered, "Just one…AUGHABUB"

Kaito shoved the silver haired boy into the hall, causing him to crash straight into Gumi.

"Hi?" The green haired girl adjusted her goggles, "Who are you?"

"A rightful question to ask." Piko straightened his shoulders and looked up, only to be intimidated by Gumi's sea green eyes, "P-Piku."

I felt my palm hurdling towards my forehead. Kaito wagged his head disappointedly

"Well then, Piku." Piko dipped his head, his cheeks turning several shades of pink, "nice to meet you."

"N…n…ice to meet you too…"

She leaned against her knees to put her face in level with Piko's and grinned, "I'm Gumi!"

"I know." He clasped his hand over his mouth, "Ahh now I sound like a stalker!"

"Well I do have my name tag right here." She laughed.

"Oh."

"See, not so strange anymore right?"

Why is she so nice to Piko…she was anything but to me…

Piko's lips curled in a silly grin, "Yeah…not so strange…"

"All better! See you around Piku!" She pulled her goggles over her eyes and scribbled something on a small scrap of orange tinted paper and placed it on top of Piko's head.

"B…b…bye!" Piko forced, his awkward grin still etched on his blushing face.

"What did you get?" Kaito asked as he emerged from behind the plant.

"Huh, what?" Piko awakened from his trance as Kaito snatched the slip of paper from his head and read it aloud,

"Gumi Megpoid-…" Kaito's eyes grew wide, "Omigod Piko! A girl just gave you her number."

"She gave me what?" Piko snatched the paper from Kaito's hand and held it close to his hear, "I'll cherish this forever."

I playfully punched him in the arm, "Better call her…but not soon."

Piko lifted his USB tail and began to play with the wire, "Why?"

"You don't want to seem desperate."

"Oh…OK"

"And she still thinks your name is Piku."

Piko turned away and smiled, "Yeah, yeah she does"

Our moment of happiness was cut short by a shadow, steadily approaching through the crowd.
