"The Dreamer: Inner Peace"

Inner peace, now everyone has found it. Hopefully, they will keep and treasure it.

"I took the letter inside her bag. I knew it came from Yuuya, I recognized his handwriting. When I went home, I've read it – actually I just read the first page. Each word that's in there, they were like daggers to my heart. That night, I went to a lot of thinking whether I should just return or throw it away. I brought it with me on the day of her wedding, when I saw Aya with Rei I realized that maybe I should just give it back. I was thinking, she couldn't snatch him away now that she's married. So, I decided that I will return it to her but that night someone walked up to me, telling me that he knows about the letter. I feel so ashamed and mad; he said that Yuuya has shown the letter to his friends so I threw the letter and walked out. I-I don't what to do. I feel so sad and angry."

NHK's celebrity host asked a question, "Do you think that it was your entire fault?"

"Yes, if I didn't take the letter this wouldn't have happened."

"What about the photos?"

"I don't have any part on that,"

"That night when your boyfriend went out of the rehab, if you can remember you told your friend to leave you alone. What did you mean by that?"

"I was thinking that she should just leave things like that. I don't want her to be friends with him anymore."

"Don't you think that was mean?"

"Yes, I was so in love with Yuuya. I've been so selfish, I feel so sorry." She took a sheet of tissue, wiped her cheeks and sighed. "I really am sorry, I-I'll do anything to make things right."

"How is your relationship with Aya?"

"We're still good friends. I'm so thankful that she has forgiven me after everything I did to her."

"What about with your boyfriend?"

"We're okay now," she twisted on her seat to look at him. "If only I've read the third page, things would've been better."

"Third page?" The host turned to Yuuya, "can you explain the third page to us?"

"It was about moving on and appreciating what I've been missing." They held their hands together.

"So you two are okay now, right?"

They nodded while looking at each other.

Looking at the sky with the stars and the moon, no one will think that there was a storm. There is no doubt that they all surpassed it. She stood at the balcony, resting both of her hands on the glass.

"The letter is in our care now, the sad part is that there were only two set of fingerprints, Mami's fingerprints and the fingerprints of the person who surrendered it to NHK." Her husband said in a freezing cold voice.

"Does that mean you cannot find who-" The celebrity host asked.

"There's a solution to everything, we're not giving up."

She looked at her husband then back to the host, "yes, we won't give up."

"Now that everything's all right. How about telling us about your honeymoon?"

She blushed, "you mean our trip?"

"Yes, how did you find Jeju-do?"

She smiled then looked at him, "I had the perfect trip ever. Jeju-do looked so amazing; it's a place where you would want to visit over and over."

Someone came out from the revolving door, it was her husband. He stood beside her, 'Do you want to go?' looking at the night sky.

'What?' She looked up to him then back at the stars.

'About the trip,'

'Oh,' she looked at him. 'Everyone will be there.'

'Yeah.'

She smiled, 'but if you don't want us to go it's okay.'

'.'

'.'

'Okay, then we'll go.' He looked down at her.

She blushed, 'Really?' out of excitement she jumped and embraced him.

'It's been a while since the gang went off for the beach, so yeah.' He embraced her back, rested his head on top of her head and smelled her hair.

'Thank you!' They stayed like that, slightly swaying and smiling.

'Aya?'

'Hn?'

'.'

'What?'

'.'

The next day, she woke up early. When she went downstairs, she saw Omoni and Rei's mother cooking. 'Good morning.'

'Good morning, Aya dear!'

'Wow, are we going to bring all these?' She looked at the dishes prepared for their trip. 'I'm dying to eat them now.'

'Oh, yes. We've prepared Japanese and Korean foods.' Omoni closed the all the lids. 'Aren't you going to get ready yet?'

'What about you two?'

'We're ready.' Rei's mother pointed her lips on the lounge, she saw two bags on top of it.

'Okay, I'll take a bath now. I'll see you.' She hurriedly went upstairs, took a new towel and bathrobe before stepping inside the bathroom. When she walked out of the bathroom, her husband was still sleeping. She opened the cabinet, grabbed her undergarments and wore them. She chose to wear her peach floral dress, and wedge sandals. She sat at the end of the bed, 'Rei' she whispered. 'Rei?'

'.'

'Rei?'

'What?'

'They might be here any minute.'

'Really?' He sat up beside his wife.

'Yeah.'

'I still feel sleepy, why don't we get back to sleep?' He held him close to her.

They heard a blow of horn, 'that must be them.'

He stood up and went inside the bathroom, she sat in front of the mirror and put some sunscreen on her face and lip balm on her lips. She searched for her sunglasses inside the cabinet; she took it together with a hat. When she stood up she bumped her head on her husband's chin. 'Ouch,'

'Careful.'

She shook her head and carried her summer bag; she looked up and turned around all the while catching her breath and holding her chest. 'You know, you can change in the bathroom.'

'What?' He said absentmindedly.

She blushed and walked out of the bedroom, fanning her red face. 'Mom? Omoni?' She didn't find them in the kitchen, she walked outside of the house and saw them inside the bus together with the whole gang, the two were already seated on the front seats right side of the bus. She remembered her gifts for her friends.

Sayo was seated on the second row, she opened the window when she saw her, 'Aya!' she gave her a 'thumbs up.' Aya smiled at her. Still on the second row, left side of the bus, Mami and Yuuya were seated they smiled at her.

Miyu waved her hand when she saw her; she was resting her head on Yamato's shoulder. The lovely couple was seated on the fourth row, right side of the bus.

Ran covered her sister's face, she bared head out of the window, 'Double time, you guys! What have you been doing up there huhh?' She raised an eyebrow up and down.

Rei's mother spoke, 'Well, they were just having a very private time.'

Aya wondered what she was saying, she can't hear her. 'Wait up.' She headed back to their house and took all her gifts inside their bedroom.

Omoni giggled, 'Young love, let's give them time, right?' She looked at Rei's mother then said something to her in whisper which seemed not a whisper at all. 'Yesterday's kiss was phenomenal! Did you bring your camera? We need to catch a great, passionate and lovely shot-'

'Of course, I brought my camera! What do you think of me? I want to capture their sweetest and wildest-'

Miyu's sweat dropped, 'is that Rei's mother speaking?' She asked Yamato.

'I-I guess so.' He scratched his head.

'Actually, you should've seen their shots in Jeju-do-' Rei's mother confessed.

'You mean-'

Rei's mother nodded, 'as expected from me. You see I wasn't there to witness how they will improve. So, I hired someone to do it for me.' She laughed lightly.

'Show me the pictures!' Omoni insisted. 'Please?'

'I will, maybe next week. Their pictures are on a glossy page-'

'You mean a magazine?'

'Ahuh! It's like that! I wanted a different album for their wedding so I told them to make a story, create something new-'

'You are just so great!-'

'But I still can't believe you never told me about the traditional wed-'

'You didn't tell me about the official wedding your-'

'Seriously? These two are relatives of Ototchi?' Ran turned to her right, 'I'm not talking to you Sayo,' she stood up and whispered it to Miyu.

'I guess so-'

Inside the house, Rei helped her wife carry her belongings, 'thank you. I'll carry the gifts.' She was blushing when they got out; he closed the doors and the gate for her. When they went inside the bus, the ambiance was so cheerful. Her friends were looking at her with a big smile. 'Guys! I've missed you!'

Omoni and Rei's mother both winked at her, she smiled at them. Her husband went at the back of the bus and took his seat. She looked for her gift to Yuuya, she handed it to him.

'For me?' He blinked twice.

'Yeah, art materials-'

'Thank you.'

She nodded and searched for her gift to Mami, 'here.'

'Really?'

She nodded and smiled, 'of course!'

Mami embraced her, 'thank you!'

Next gifts were for Sayo and Ran, they both thanked her. 'Where's Tatsuki?'

Sayo laughed so hard, 'Well-'

'I believe I should answer-' Ran put the wrapper on her sister's mouth.

'You believe so?'

'You're so mean-'

'Really?' She turned to her sister's boyfriend, 'if I were mean he wouldn't be here, would he?'

Sayo shut her mouth and rolled her eyes, 'right. Now should you just move away from his seat?'

Ran raised both of her hands in the air, 'sure, as if I wanted to sit beside you!'

Sayo's boyfriend sat beside her when Ran was gone. Aya looked for her gifts to Miyu and Yamato, 'Miyu?' She embraced her. 'I missed you! How have you been?'

'I'm okay, how are you? I missed you too!'

'The baby, is he or she all right?'

Miyu nodded, 'Yes, and thank you for the gifts.'

Aya smiled and embraced her again, he looked around the bus and checked if she has given all the gifts. She called on Ran, 'Ran, please give it to Tatsuki.'

Sayo laughed, 'we-'

'Sure, Sayo will you please shut up?' Ran sat on the fifth row alone.

At the last row, she saw Rei seated on the left side of the bus. She gave the last gift to her husband before sitting down beside him, she placed it on his lap.

'What's that?'

'A gift.'

'You have a gift for me?' He asked the looked at someone in front.

'Of course.' She looked at Omoni, who gave her a wink. 'Yes, I do.'

'Thank you, I didn't know that you will give me a gift. Is there anything you want?'

She wanted to say, all I wanted was your heart. She bit her lower lip, 'well-'

'So there is something you want?'

She shook her head, 'none at the moment.'

'Are you sure?'

She nodded.

'Should I open this now?'

'Go on.' She smiled and slightly blushed.

'A poem in Korean language, did you write this?'

'Yes.' She nodded with so much pride.

Rei read it with his eyes, he nodded after reading the first page, he turned to read the second page then looked at her. 'Let me guess, Omoni helped you with this.'

'How did you know?'

'I just know.'

'D-did you l-like it?' She looked down.

'Yeah, I did.'

She looked up to him and smiled.

'OMG!' They all looked at Ran, 'This is so beautiful!' She stood up wearing the dress. 'Aya, thank you so much! It's been a while since I got a 'decent' gift!' She sat back, clapping her hands.

'What do you mean by that Ran?' Someone entered the bus, it was Tatsuki. 'You're not talking about my gifts are you?' He said before he sitting beside her.

'Of course not.' She looked at him the glared, 'You idiot of course I am ta-'

'Shut up Ran, you're so noisy. Will you give us a break?' Rei asked in a commanding tone.

'He's right; we're having a peaceful time here.' Her sister stood up and looked at the whole bus. 'See?'

'Argh.' She glared at her sister, 'oh just you wait when we get where we're heading!'

Her sister sticks her tongue out, 'bring it on.' She made a face then rolled her eyes. 'Now, where were we?' She asked her boyfriend.

'The kiss?' Her boyfriend said pouting his lips.

'Silly you, not there.' Sayo giggled.

They were about to kiss when in the middle her sister appeared. Their lips touched her cheeks, 'ew! not so fast, and not here. You think I will let you do that?'

'Ran! Just go to your boyfriend and leave us alone, will you?'

'No, no and no.'

'She's right come back here Ran, if you want we could also-'

'Shut up! Dream on!' She crossed her arms and sat in the middle of Sayo and her boyfriend. 'I am such a good sister and so, I will protect you Sayo.' She batted her eyelashes.

'No thanks.' Sayo shook her head, 'this seat is for two persons only now go!'

'No! I'm not going anywhere-'

'Okay, then we might as well change seats-' Sayo stood up and took her boyfriend's hand.

Ran removed their grips on each other, they both stood in the middle of the bus. 'You're not going anywhere-'

The bus abruptly stopped which made the two sisters bump their faces on the floor..

'Are you guys okay?' Miyu asked in a concern voice.

'That is so classic!' Mami laughed, 'still stupid as before. Keep it up!'

'What did you say?' Ran exclaimed while checking her face in the mirror. 'Oh, I still have a pretty face. Thank God!'

'Pretty face?' Sayo choked, 'are you kidding me? I'm the beautiful one here, just one more year and I'll be a lady.' Sayo laughed like an evil queen.

Ran laughed back at her, reaching for her stomach, 'Oh, yeah. A lady eh?'

'What is so funny?'

'Inside that dress, I wonder if you can wear a two piece.' Ran said shaking her head.

'A two piece?' She folded her arms, 'of course I can!'

'Oh really?'

'Really!'

'With an A? No.' She pointed her finger on her sister, 'you're still a kid.'

'I am not a kid anymore; I know a lot of things that Aya doesn't know.'

Aya swallowed her tongue, 'why am I suddenly included in their talk?' She asked her husband.

'.' Her husband removed the headphones away from his ears. 'Did you say something?'

She shook her head, 'no.'

'We're not talking about that kind of thing; we're talking about how you look.'

Sayo gasped, 'I am a late bloomer – you know that!'

'Will you just keep it down? We're not in the house.' Yamato reminded her sisters. 'Ran?'

'Fine, the race is still on.' Ran turned to her sister, 'got it?'

'You're on!' Sayo narrowed her eyes, 'I'll win this and I will be the queen!'

'Queen of what?' Mami asked.

'Queen of the day!' Ran glared at her.

Mami stood up, 'I'm in!'

'What? This is between the two of us.' Sayo bit her upper lip, it would b difficult to win if she has to compete with another girl!

'You mean I can't join?'

Ran thought for a while, 'yeah.'

'The winner will get the title 'Queen of the day,' front row/VIP seats on Miley Cyrus' concert!-'

'What?' Ran, Sayo, Miyu and Aya screamed. Rei was surprised when her wife stood up.

He asked, 'are you all right?' He removed his headphones.

'Hold it-' Mami held her hand high on a fist. 'Plus, concert tickets same seat and meet and greet passes for Justin Bieber!'

'Holy Moley are you serious?' Ran asked, 'tell me you're not joking because if you're joking I'm going to kill you!'

'You've got to be kidding me.' Aya walked near her friends. 'J-J-Just-'

'J-J-Justin Bieber?' Sayo screamed then fainted, she was caught by her boyfriend.

Miyu stood up, 'Count me in!'

Ran placed her hand on her hips, 'wait, you can't join. No pregnant women allowed.'

'No one can stop me-' Yamato held her hand and asked her to sit down.

'Miyu, just leave it to them.'

'But-'

Yamato widened his eyes, 'please? You don't need those tickets, I'll buy them for you-'

'Really?'

'How much is it?' He asked. She whispered the ticket's cost, 'that much? Are you serious?' She nodded at him.

'So now, there's only you and me.' Ran said in a happy voice.

'I'm still here!' Sayo stood up! 'Anything for Justin Bieber!'

'I'm here too.' They looked at her then shook their heads. 'What?'

'Not really.' Ran looked at her, 'no skinny allowed.'

'What? I am not skinny!' She glanced out of the window, 'I want to see Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber!'

'Why are you all so fired up?' Rei asked. The girls looked at him. 'It's not like you can't buy tickets.'

'Yeah, we ca buy tickets but can you buy the moment to meet JB?'

He shook his head, 'you're in that too Aya?'

She nodded, 'this is different. It will give us a feeling of happiness if we get something with effort!'

'Effort?' He looked into her eyes, '.'

Sayo agreed, 'you are so right!'

Ran raised her hand up, 'all of those people who will join raise your hand.'

Sayo raised her hand, Mami followed her. Aya hesitantly raised her hand, 'I will!'

Rei's mother stood up, 'A competition?' They all looked at her. 'Let me handle this.' She looked at Omoni, 'we'll handle it.'

Omoni nodded, 'yeah!'

'Should we leave this on their hands?' Ran asked.

'To be fair.' Mami answered, 'I guess so.'

'What are you planning?' Omoni asked Rei's mother.

'I'm pla-' she whispered to Omoni's ear.

'Really? Yes, go on-' they laughed silently together.

'I think it's not a good idea that we let them handle the competition.' Sayo went back to her seat.

When they arrived at Enoshima beach, Ran swiftly alighted the bus as if someone's running after her. 'Whew! It's been a while!' She removed her clothes left her two-piece swimsuit on. 'Beach, here I come!'

Sayo looked at herself, '.'

'Sayo? Is something wrong?' Aya asked when she went out of the bus.

'I think I couldn't wear something like what she's wearing.'

'Why not?'

'I don't have a lady's body yet.'

'That's not true-'

'Really?'

'I mean it's true, but should that matter? It's not about how others look at you but how you look at yourself that matters.'

Sayo nodded, 'you know? You're right, you bet!'

'Besides,' she whispered on her ear 'you're not impressing your sister here, are you?' Aya looked at Sayo's boyfriend.

Sayo looked at where she was looking, 'I get it now, you are totally right!'

'What are you waiting for?'

Aya smiled when she saw Sayo took her boyfriend to the beach, she looked back at her, 'Thanks Aya!'

She just nodded and gave her a 'thumbs-up.' Someone took her hand, it was her husband. 'Rei,' she smiled shyly at him.

They went to the beach together, she saw Tatsuki running after Ran, Sayo sprinkling water guns with her boyfriend, Yuuya painting his girlfriend Mami, Miyu walking with Yamato, and Omoni with Rei's mother preparing the foods on their cottage.

After the lunch, Rei's mother called on to those who will join the competition. 'Let the search for the Queen of Enoshima begins!'

Queen? 'Did I hear a search for the Queen of Enoshima?' One of the tanned girls asked. They saw Ran, Mami, Sayo and Aya. 'Wait, I'll join too!'

'What?' Ran searched for the owner of the voice. 'Oh, you three! You're not eligible to join. Sorry!'

'You will not decide on this Ran you-'

'Yeah, why should you decide on this? We want to join!'

Omoni spoke, 'the more the merrier! This is going to be so much fun!'

'W-what?' Ran screamed and looked at the three. 'Fine, but still none of you will beat me!'

'We'll see we're stronger, better and wiser now!' The three said in chorus, while nodding on each other.

'Whatever.' Mami rolled her eyes, 'there can only be one Queen here – me!'

Aya sighed, 'this competition is congested, and maybe I should just qui-'

'Sorry, no one can back out now.' Rei's mother said.

Omoni walked up to her, 'if you win this I'm going to tell you one secret about Rei.' She whispered to her.

'Really?'

Omoni nodded thrice.

'O-kay.' She smiled at her.

'Who will bring home the crown, tickets to Miley Cyrus' Concert and Justin Bieber's Concert, and meet and greet pass-'

'None other than me.' Ran said confidently.

'Don't be so sure of yourself!' The tanned girls said.

'For the first round, question and answer!' Omoni turned to one of the three tanned girls, 'According to Forbes who is the highest paid model in the world from June 2009 to June 2010?'

'Angelina Jolie?' She asked.

Ran laughed hysterically. 'Stupid!'

Omoni shook her head, 'no. You're out.' She asked the same question to her fellow tanned girl. 'Who is it?'

'That's so easy! How can you not answer that?' The tanned girl rubbed her chin, 'Ah, hmm.'

'Five, four, three-' Ran counted through her fingers.

'Shut up Ran!' She looked at Omoni the whispered, 'is it Megan Fox?'

Omoni shook her head, 'I'm sorry.'

'Am I close?'

'Not really, you're out too. The answer is Gisele Bündchen.' She looked at the last tanned girl. 'Here's your question, earned the ninth place on the top ten highest paid models and earned four million dollars in two thousand and eight? Who is she?'

'Miranda Kerr.'

'Right.'

The last tanned girl glared at Ran, Ran slapped her head.

'Now, Ran? Who got the third place?'

'If Gisele Bundchen got the first place, Heidi Klum is the second, the third would be Kate Moss!'

'Correct!' She turned to Mami, 'who got the tenth place?'

'It should be me, but I gave it to Carolyn Murphy.' Mami said while blowing her nails.

'You're right,' she looked at Aya. 'Aya?'

'Hai?' She bit her lower lip.

'Who is this African-American model, media personality, and actress who appeared in the movie Hannah-?'

'Tyra Banks!' Aya answered.

'What? Seriously? That's an easy question.' Ran scowled.

'You got it!' Omoni smiled then turned to the last candidate, 'Sayo, who said that a good model can advance fashion by ten years?'

'Yves Saint Lauren?' She coughed then looked at her sister.

'Absolutely!'

Sayo jumped, 'Yhey!'

'For the second round, we will test your ability to sell desserts!'

'Sell desserts?' Mami looked at the sky, 'sure!'

Rei's mother handed them some boxes, 'now go.'

Mami went to her boyfriend, 'Yuuya, buy all these-'

'No, you have to sell those right there.' Omoni pointed at the crowded area.

'That's easy-' Ran made her way to the beach area, 'hey buy these-'

Aya's eyes become blurry, 'too many people.'

'Yeah, the secret-' Omoni reminded her.

Aya opened her eyes wide then looked at Omoni then to Rei, 'right!' She walked to the beach. 'Hi. Would you like to buy some-'

Sayo walked up to Omoni, 'my desserts are sold out.' She handed the cash to Omoni.

'Mine too.' Mami showed her box, then gave the cash to Omoni.

The last tanned girl opened her box too, 'same here.'

'Good, where's the amount for that?'

'What?' The last tanned girl looked at Mami and Sayo, 'you mean it's not free? I-I gave it to my friends.'

Mami shook her head, 'still stupid.'

Sayo looked at her closely, 'is there a brain in your head? You know what the word 'sell' mean, right?'

The last tanned girl sat under the umbrella, 'I-I don't actually know. Don't ask me such things!'

Aya went back with a smile, 'I sold them-' she looked at Sayo then Mami, 'I thought I'll be the first.'

Ran followed her, 'Don't tell me you all-' Mami and Sayo nodded. 'Am I out?'

Rei's mother answered, 'no. The tanned girl is out.' They all looked at the tanned girl who is seated under the umbrella murmuring. 'Now, let's head to the third round. The tied-race competition! But this time, you have to get a partner.' She smiled so wide. 'A guy partner.'

'Are we allowed to choose anyone?' Sayo asked.

'Yes.' Rei's mother nodded. 'Go on.'

'Tatsuki!' Ran called her boyfriend, 'come here!'

Tatsuki went close to her, 'yes my love? You want to do something?'

'Yes! Let's win this race together!'

'What for?'

'Don't ask, just run with me – okay?'

'Okay.'

Sayo called on her boyfriend, 'come on over!' She looked at her sister, '.'

'What are you looking at?' Her sister asked.

'I'm so gonna win this!' She grabbed her boyfriend's arm.

'I run like the wind.' Ran posed a runner's move. 'See that huhh?'

'Whatever, Ran and' Mami looked at Ran's sister, 'little you. Yuuya and I will definitely win this because of love.'

Ran poked, 'should I laugh or what?' She thought for a while, 'oh yes. Just laugh!'

'Yeah like it's funny!' Mami glared at her then took the strings Rei's mother was handing to them. 'Want me to tie you up instead Kotubuki?'

Aya called on her husband, 'Rei!' He wasn't answering, he might be listening to music. She went near him the in front of him, 'Rei.'

He removed his headphones, 'What?'

'I need you.'

'.'

'Please?' She closed her eyes and opened one eye then closed it again.

'I know.'

She opened her eyes, 'I mean I need a partner for the game.' She looked at where the gang was.

'If that's still the search of Queen or something like that – no.'

'Please?'

'Do you want to see Miley and Justin that much?'

She nodded her head, 'yes! I wanted so bad.'

'No.' He watched her walk away and asked a guy who is sipping a cold drink.

'Hi,' she said to him.

'You're the one who sell the desserts right?'

'Yes, I wanted to ask if you could join our game.'

'Oh, yeah. I'm watching your game,' the guy looked at her friends. 'Is that the tied-race?'

'Yes! Is it okay if you would joi-'

Tied-race game? Rei place his headphones down the table, 'Let's go-'

She looked up to him, 'I thought you said a no.'

'I changed my mind.' Rei glowered on the guy.

Omoni and Rei's mother smiled when they saw the two approaching, 'Okay, tie yourselves together so close.' Omoni handed the strings to the two.

Rei asked his wife to stand still. He tied his right ankle and leg to her left. She blushed while looking down at him; she blinked her eyes thrice when he asked her, 'is that better?'

'W-what? Yes, that's better.' They slightly swayed when he got up but managed to balance their weight. They smiled at each other, 'thank you.'

Omoni and Rei's mother watched the two, 'that is so sweet.'

Omoni nodded at her, 'where's your camera?'

'Oh, I hired someone to do the shooting for me!'

'Cool!' Omoni nodded and giggled, 'Okay, are you all ready?' She told them to stand behind the line they drew.

Rei's mother said the instructions, 'here's what you're going to do. You will run from here,' she pointed the line 'to the flag then go back here where you will pick colorful papers inside this bowl.' She showed the clear bowl to them which is filled with colorful papers. 'You will do whatever is written on the paper, got it?'

Sayo nodded, 'You bet!'

'Let's do this!' Ran said to Tatsuki.

Rei's mother gave the bowl to Omoni. 'The first two who will accomplish the task will compete for the title! In my count, three, two, one – go!'

Miyu went close to Omoni, 'May I take a look on that?'

Omoni nodded, 'sure.'

Miyu picked a blue paper, she opened the note '.'

'What's in there?' Yamato asked.

'What?' She put the paper back to the bowl, and then looked at the four couples. 'This is going to be great.'

Yamato looked at her then to the four couples, 'really?'

Miyu nodded and took a seat nearby, 'yes!'

Ran and Tatsuki was leading the race they took a piece of paper in yellow inside the bowl, 'what does it say?'

Omoni took the paper, 'Look for a bald man and bring him here.' The two ran away

Mami and Yuuya followed them, Mami picked a yellow note. Yuuya read it, 'go to the islet and find the red note, do whatever is indicated there and go back?'

'Got it,' they looked for the islet and walked to the right of the beach.

Sayo and her boyfriend ran faster when they saw Ran and Tatsuki searching for something. Sayo took a piece of paper in red, she read it 'go to the souvenir store and buy something, in return you will be given the final task.' They ran to the souvenir store with the same speed and enthusiast together.

Finishing last was Rei and Aya's team. She was catching her breath when they got back; Rei picked a piece of paper for them. 'What does it say?' She glanced what's written on the paper, 'find the next note inside the ball by the beach?' She noticed a beach ball after the big rock which is placed before the islet. 'I think that's it!'

When the newly-wedded couple arrived at the islet, they saw Mami and Yuuya watching the beautiful sky. 'I really am sorry.'

Aya stopped searching for the note upon hearing a familiar voice, her husband did the same, of course. She sat behind the rock, 'what are you doing?' He looked at the scene in front of them, '.' He sat beside her.

Yuuya looked into her eyes, 'I'm sorry too. Mam-'

She looked into his eyes, 'shall we do what's written in there?' Mami pulled Yuuya's face to hers, she initiated the kiss then he kissed her back.

Aya gasped and covered her eyes, 'is it over?'

Her husband removed her hands away from her eyes, 'it won't be over yet.'

She blushed, 'won't be over yet?'

He showed the note to her, 'found this. Shall we go now?'

She nodded her head, 'o-okay.' They walked away from the islet; the scene there was hotter than the sun. 'What's written on the note?'

He read it for her, 'earn one thousand five hundred yen.' He took his wallet from his pocket, 'let's go.'

'That's cheating.'

'Really? But I've earned this money.'

'I believe it should come from both of us, something that we worked for.'

'.'

She called the woman reading a book, 'excuse me? We're in a middle of a ga-'

She looked at her then back to her book, 'I'm busy.'

'Hello,' she waved her hand on a man with surf boards on his arms. 'Would you need some help for a yen?'

'No, no-' the man shook his head. 'Wait, I know you.'

Aya smiled, 'yeah?'

'Of course,' the man looked at her husband. 'Let me guess, are you in a game?' The man noticed the strings on their legs.

She nodded, 'exactly!'

'And you need to have money?'

'Absolutely, we need to earn one thousand five hundred yen for this game. So if there's anything that we can-'

'There is, I want to buy your dress.'

'M-my floral dress?' She blinked her eyes thrice, if she remove her dress she will be left with only her two-piece swimsuit!

The man called on someone, 'honey!'

'Yes?-' she looked at her, 'what's going on?'

'Would you like me to buy her dress for one thousand five hundred yen?'

'Wait, you are Rei's husband right?' The woman looked at Rei, 'oh, geez. You're Rei!' The woman clapped her hand, 'what about a kiss for one thousand five hundred yen?'

The man looked at the woman who is her wife, 'you don't mean a kiss from him do you?'

The woman shook her head, 'silly! No, I want them to kiss in front of us.'

Aya shook her head, 'I'll give the dress.'

'No.' Rei stopped her, 'you won't.'

'It's just a dress.'

'It's just a kiss.'

The man took a one thousand five hundred yen, 'here.'

Aya took the money, 'okay.' He tucked her hair away from her face, 'a kiss it is.' She closed her eyes when he kissed her, she opened her eyes when the kiss ended. 'We could go now.'

'Right.'

They bowed to the couple before walking away. Sayo and Ran were already there when they arrived.

'Does this mean I lost?' Aya asked the two.

'Oh, yeah!' Ran exclaimed, 'where's Mami? I thought Aya will finish last.'

Aya and Rei laughed.

'Shall we proceed with the competition even if Mami's not around yet?' Sayo asked Omoni.

'I think we shall.' Omoni nodded, 'okay for the last stage we have Ran and Sayo! You two are competing for the title Queen of Enoshima!' The two sisters looked at each other then nodded. 'Here's what you are going to do,'

'You can back out now kiddo!' Ran said to her sister while warming up.

'Kiddo? Yeah, whatever! Call me what you want!' Sayo spinned her head round and round. 'I won't give you the title! I will totally-'

'Enough said. Blah! Blah! Blah!' Ran rolled her eyes.

'For round one on the final challenge will be-' Rei's mother read a note 'guess the song's title! If you two are avid fans of Miley and JB, you should know this. Question number one,' Rei's mother called on Aya. She told her to sing the song for her. Aya just nodded. 'What is the title of this song?'

Aya sang, 'When I met you girl my heart went knock knock-'

Sayo answered, 'One time!'

Ran glared at her sister. 'Blah!'

'Correct! Final question for round one,' Rei's mother looked at the last two contender. 'What is the title of this song?'

Aya sang, 'Creation shows me what to do. I'm dancing on the floor with you. And when you touch my hand-'

'Who owns my heart!' Ran shouted.

'Tatsuki right?' Her boyfriend asked.

'Shut up! We're in the middle of the game.' She glared at her boyfriend.

Omoni takes over the game, 'okay for round two! Guess the missing lyrics of the song!' The two contenders nodded, 'the scores are all one. Here's the first question for round two! Sing the song after Aya.'

Aya looked at Omoni's note, she sang, 'let me show you what you're missing..'

'Me-me!' Sayo raised her hand, 'paradise with me you're winning girl you don't have to roll the dice. Tell me what you're here for-'

'Another point for you! Okay, second question.'

Aya sang, 'there is no guarantee that this life is easy-'

'When my world is falling apart when there's no light-'

'That's enough. The scores are tied up, here's the final round! Since you're competing for the title Queen of Enoshima, you have to at least know something about Enoshima.'

Ran sighed, 'seriously?'

Sayo smiled, 'that's right.'

'Now the question is: what are the three railway stations which serves Enoshima?'

Ran answered with a laugh, 'Katase-Enoshima Stationon theOdakyū Enoshima Line,Enoshima Stationon theEnoshima Electric Railway. I think we have a winner, yhay – me!' She rolled her eyes on her sister and sticks her tongue out on her.

'That's just two, you forgot Shonan Enoshima Stationon theShonan Monorail. The game is still on!' Sayo held her hand into a fist.

'Okay, this is really the final question: Enoshima was the Olympic harbor for Summer Olympics in what year?'

Sayo looked at her sister then back at Omoni, '1964!'

'And the Queen of Enoshima title goes to Sayo!'

'What the-' Ran scratched her head, 'no way! You kiddo-'

'Sorry, I got the title, tickets and the meet and greet passes-' she sticks her tongue out on her sister. 'I will see Miley, I will see Bieber-'

Ran jumped on her sister, they rolled on the sand 'Oh, really! As if mother and father will allow you to go by your-'

'My boyfriend's with me-' Sayo removed her sister's hands away from her face.

'I don't think-' Sayo was already on top of her sister, she tried to bury her sister on the sand.

'You really think you can bury me huhh? Oh, come here-' she stood up and ran after her sister.

Sayo ran from the beach to the islet, she stopped running when she heard some noises. She silenced her sister, 'Quiet, I hear something.' They hid behind the rock and saw a couple nearby.

'Is that Mami and Yuuya?' Ran asked then covered her sister's eyes. 'That is so explicit!'

'Let me see-' Sayo said in a low voice.

'No, let's go-' Ran said in a whisper.

The two ran back at the cottage, 'I should've brought my camera-'

'Sayo!' Ran eyed her sister.

'Time to eat!' Rei's mother called them, 'you two, let's eat!' In a second, they were both in front of the table.

Miyu looked around, 'where's Mami and Yuuya? Has anyone seen them? Ay, where's Yuuya?'

Aya blushed and choked, 'What?' She looked at Rei, who is looking at her. They both laughed.

Sayo answered, 'oh those two-'

Ran placed a leafy vegetable inside her mouth, 'are you saying something Sayo?'

After a few moments, Mami and Yuuya arrived on the cottage. They were holding hands, Mami's head was resting on Yuuya's shoulder.

'Where have you been?' Miyu asked Yuuya.

'Oh, we got stuck up somewhere,' he scratched his head.

'I won the title; I am now the Queen of Enoshima, just saying.' Sayo said before eating what's on her bowl.

'Yeah, like who cares? I don't care about being a queen anymore. Just being queen to Yuuya's heart is enough.'

Yuuya blushed, 'oh you stop it.'

'As if you didn't like-' Mami pinched his nose.

Aya blushed then looked away, she was wondering what happened when they walked away. They stayed there for more than an hour, right?

Ran looked at her sister who was laughing, she noticed Aya was blushing and laughing silently too, then there's Rei who was grinning while eating his meal.

After the dinner, the girls formed a circle and sat in front of the bonfire. 'What happened back there?' Ran asked Mami.

'What?' She gulped.

'We saw you and Yuuya, remember the islet?'

'Oh, well-'

'What are we talking about here?' Miyu asked, 'did something happen?'

'Aside from the noise, kisses,' Sayo recalled what she saw 'what else happened?'

Aya just kept quiet, she was blushing so hard.

'Well-' Mami started to answer

'Well?' The girls asked except for Aya.

'Okay, what happened was we kissed and went a little further than that.' She giggled.

'Did you give yourself to him?' Ran asked like a mother.

'In broad daylight?' Miyu rubbed her chin and looked at the fire.

'Come on, not yet-' Mami blushed.

'So you are planning-' Sayo concluded.

'We planned it after the wedding.'

'Wedding?' Ran and Sayo exclaimed.

Mami nodded, 'yes. We're engaged! We'll be married next year.'

'Congratulations!' Aya finally spoke a word.

'Yes, congratulations!' Ran said bitterly.

'Ran are you okay?' Miyu asked.

'I'm fine.' She rolled her eyes. 'So, speaking of wedding. How is our newly-wedded friend?'

The girls looked at Aya, 'what?'

'Tell us what happened.' Miyu encouraged her to say something.

'What happened where?' Aya asked back.

'Honeymoon.' Sayo said bluntly.

'Yes, what happened?' Mami asked with dreamy eyes.

Ran waited for her answer, 'what? Are we just going to stare all night?'

Aya shook her head, 'o-okay. What happened was, we-'

'Go on-' Sayo and Miyu nodded.

'Is this necessary?' Aya asked, they all nodded at her 'we visited Jeju-do, had some shopping, roam around the city, watched the city lights-'

'We're not talking about that, what we meant was the intimate scenes!' Mami said in a low but firm voice.

'I-intimate scenes?' They nodded at her. 'I remember one night among those nights, the stars and the moon were shining down on us.'

'Yeah, and?' Ran asked.

Aya's eyes became dreamy, 'we were talking at the balcony, lying on the floor. He tickled me and I tickled him back, then I noticed that he was on top of me. After a few moments, we kissed.'

'It's somewhat getting better, what's next?'

'What's next? We kissed, and kissed?'

'Skip to the best part!' Miyu suggested.

'Right!' Sayo said while giggling.

'Tell me it really happened!' Mami took her hand, 'how does it feel?'

Aya's sweat dropped, 'What? It felt great and amazing, I thought I was in a different world?'

'Why aren't you sure?' Ran asked. 'I bet Rei's no-good.'

'You mean ice-prince is still ice in bed?' Miyu asked Ran.

'What are we talking about?' Aya asked quite shocked. Bed? What do they mean by that? Someone called on them, it was Rei's mother.

'Hey, it's time to go!'

Aya stood up, 'right!' She left her friends in wonder, 'it's time to go.'

'Aya?' It was Rei. 'Are you okay?'

Aya's heart raced, that means that there's still blood inside her right? But why does she look pale? 'I-I'm okay.'

'It's been a long day.'

'Yes,' she looked at him. 'It's just so sad that I didn't get to win the title.'

'Do you care so much about that?'

'Not really, I just wanted the tickets and passes-' she'd like to add the secret but didn't say about it. 'I like the title the least.'

'.'

'I mean, I don't care about whoever wins the 'Queen of Enoshima.'

'If you like, I could buy you the tickets.'

'No, but thank you. I'll just buy for my own.'

'You don't want something that comes from me, do you?'

'It's not like that. It's just that, you have given me so much.'

'So?'

'Too much of something is bad.'

'Okay.'

'Rei?'

He looked at her, 'what?'

She shook her head, 'nothing.' She embraced him and rested her head on his shoulder. 'I love you.'

He just smiled at her. '.'

The bus was stopped by Sayo, 'since I'm the queen will it be okay with you my servants if I attach this lock to the fence with my boyfriend?'

'Only if you will share your tickets.' Ran said. 'Oh, just make it fast!'

'Hey Ran? Don't you want to do-'

'Shut up Tatsuki! That is so childish!' Ran rested her head on the window.

Omoni stood up, 'I have here padlocks with me, a pen and heart chains. Anyone wanted to attach their locks?'

Rei's mother asked Aya, 'Hey, Aya! I bought this beautiful lock for you!'

'What? I-' she scratched her head then turned to her husband. 'What do you think?'

Miyu asked for a padlock, she went outside together with Yamato.

Sayo and her boyfriend went inside the bus, 'hey, Ran! This will make you lucky. I'm telling you, you should-'

Ran stood up and dragged her boyfriend. 'Let's go.'

Mami and Yuuya went outside too to attach their padlocks.

Aya looked at them from the window, her husband stood up. 'What are you waiting for?'

She looked at him then smiled, 'really?'

Rei's mother gave the padlock especially bought for them. He took the pen, padlock, keys and heart chain. He wrote in Korean language. 'What did you write?'

He attached their padlocks away from their friends' locks. '.'

She couldn't understand what he wrote. All she can read was the date and the capital letters A and R.

She looked inside the bus, Omoni was talking to Rei's mother. They were both laughing. Sayo and her boyfriend was inside too, she was smiling at him and he with her. Everyone was having a good time, she glanced to her right. Mami was embracing Yuuya, she laughed while recalling what she saw this afternoon. On the same side, she saw Ran and Tatsuki fighting over who will throw the keys. She shook her head, on her left side she saw Miyu and Yamato looking at the sky. She looked down the locks and hoped that her love will be everlasting. She also hoped that Rei will love her back. She looked up to him when he held her hand, her eyes stayed on his eyes. He looked down on her and smiled, his eyes were so peaceful.

He gave her the keys, 'will you do the honor?'

She nodded; together with the keys she threw all the negative feelings. From now on, she will live a better and new life with him. What she only left was inner peace, 'I love you, Rei.'
