(C-C-Chapter 36 is here! :D. It looks like this may possibly be the 2nd or 3rd to last chapter, depending on how much I put in each chapter, but we're in the last five now. While you may get sick of me saying this over and over again, I want to thank all of you guys who have read up to this point, all of the people who have followed and favorited, as well as left their honest opinions down in the review section. I never expected this kind of response, so I'm really happy that I've been able to write for all of you guys and have you guys enjoy my stories. I'm sorry that it's taken this long again for this chapter, writer's block hit me like a brick wall. And, as I post this, my plans are to write a longer chapter later tonight, and consequently this chapter is going to be very, very short. But, this is all in the name of suspense, as I will leave you waiting for the final conclusion in the NEXT chapter :D. Hehehehe, I'm evil sometimes, aren't I? Hehe, enjoy...)

He thought carefully, how did he feel towards Rima? Had he completely blocked out any other feelings he may have felt, with his mind guiding him towards a girl rather than his heart?

"I-I've made my decision already." Amu continued, uncomfortably.

"R-Really, Amu-chan?!" Tadase exclaimed, leaning over the table. "You have?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I have. But I want Kairi-kun to answer me first. I don't want to influence him one way or the other with my choice. So," She looked Sanjo in the eyes. "Kairi, how do you feel about Rima-chan?"

"She's replicated my own thoughts..." He struggled with them too, he had to make a ground breaking decision in seconds. He went through those thoughts, trying to sort through them. "Trips to the park... Restaurants.. The flower arrangement..." That last one was key, of all places, he had invited Rima to the flower showing arrangement. "Was my brain reflecting how I really felt? No, that'd be ridiculous. Or is it..?"

It was apparent that Kairi was struggling, it was to be expected. Rima knew that, even though she had wished that he had somehow realized instantly that he had feelings for her. "If only El hadn't interfered with all of this.. Kairi would still be chasing after Amu, and I'd be able to keep my feelings secret."

"Coffee, yelling, comedy, clowns..." He was replaying everything over again, everything he could remember from the last few weeks involving him and Rima. The tension in the air could be sliced by a knife, as all five of them sat in silence, staring intently at both Kairi and Amu. "Rima's cute too... Eh? I.. Yeah... I.. Mm..."

"W-Well, hey.." Nagihiko finally broke the silence, both his and the group's. "Why don't you just say it right now in unison? Kairi's obviously going to keep going back and forth, so I think it's best for him to just go with his first gut decision, as that's the one that's normally the right one. It won't be good for Rima either if he can never make up his mind." He sighed, before continuing. "So, Kairi, Amu. Tell us all, what are your final decisions?"

They both looked at each other, before nodding. This was the best way.

"I've chosen..."

(Hehehe, I told you there'd be some suspense :P. While it's short, I hope you enjoyed this small bit, the final conclusion will be up in a few hours. So be prepared :D. Cheers.)
