Late at night, whilst everyone was sleeping, Yami was still up studying Hikari's dairy. His magenta eyes twinkled in the candle light as he carefully examined each word and page. Behind him, Will was sleeping with Yami's cardigan over her as a blanket. When Will opened her eyes, she became surprised to see Yami still reading.
"Ai-kun, honey, you're still up?" she moaned tiredly.
"Ai-chan! Did I wake you?" Yami asked, turning to face Will.
"No, I just woke up," said Will, rubbing her eye. "Is everything okay?"
"Not really," Yami sighed. "There's something here that really doesn't make sense! I mean, here for example, one minute she's talking about what a lovely day she's had, and then on the next page she's complaining about her life."
"What do you mean?" Will asked.
"Read here," Yami said, pointing to a sentence. Will looked and read it out loud:
" 'For once I feel as though everything's coming to peace! Maybe at long last I feel depressed that this whole incident happened!' What? That makes no sense!"
"I know," Yami sighed. Will looked closely at the book and then slapped her face.
"I see the problem!" Will sighed. She took Yami's hand, and made him stroke the middle section of the book. Yami gasped and slapped his eye.
"How could I not catch that?!" Yami complained. "There's a page missing!"
"But how can we find it?" Will asked. "She could have it with her, or it disappeared."
"Well, according to the next dates," Yami said, quickly scrambling through the dairy, "She complained that she lost something, presumably at the Lake of Wisdom."
"How do you know?" Will asked.
"Simple! This book is a little damp!" Yami smiled.
"How could I not catch that?!" Will complained, making Yami giggle.
"It's also a sign that we're going the right way," Yami smiled. Then, he closed the book, yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I think that'll do for now...I'm so tired I could collapse." Will sighed and helped Yami to their bed. The couple snuggled up next to each other and slept through the night.
The next morning—
BOOM!
Italy, Japan and France woke up in fright by the loud noise.
"What was that?!" Italy complained.
"Oh no, we're being attacked! Run!" France complained. Japan got out of his tent, sighed and said:
"It's alright, it's only Tea and Hay Lin practising their powers." Italy and France looked out and saw Hay Lin floating in the air with Tea next to her on the ground with her hand on fire.
"You see?" Hay Lin beamed. "I told ya they'd wake up if we did that!"
"But they were already awake," Tea complained.
"Oh, well...they're more awake now, right?" Hay Lin said embarrassed. Tea gave an uneasy look followed by a face reading she had a cruel idea.
"Okay, we'll go and wake up China next," she said.
"WHAT?! NO!" Hay Lin panicked, grabbing Tea by the waist, pulling her not to go. "Please don't! ANYONE BUT HIM~ PLEASE!" By this time, Tea was crawling on the ground trying to reach her target, but stopped and grinned.
"I'd knew you'd get that reaction..." she smirked.
"What do you mean?" Hay Lin asked, letting go and both girls got up.
"I saw you two up all night talking and giggling like teenagers dating at school," said Tea. "I have a feeling you like this guy don't you?" Hay Lin's face went bright red as Tea mentioned those words.
"What do you mean?!" Hay Lin complained. "China is a country, we can't date our own country, that's just wrong! And besides, we're just friends!"
Riiiiiiiight~...
(I don't believe you!)
Where China was however...
"I have a question for you, if that's okay," France said to China.
"Sure, ask me anything," China smiled.
"I heard you and Hay Lin talking with such pleasure and grace last night, I couldn't sleep at all!" France beamed. "Are you finally starting to act romantic towards les filles?"
"Don't talk such rubbish!" China complained. "She's a nice girl, I admit, but even so, we're just friends!"
Riiiiiiiight~...
(I don't believe you!)
"Shut up."
