Author's Notes: This is basically a short about the characters of 1460 days of summer!

This may be a bit confusing, so I apologize in advance…

For an example, Lee and Fuuka spend 3 days in Inaba, but this also shows what Minato and Mitsuru do in their absence in the following day.

You may be confused by the dates…

For any questions, notifications or violent reactions, please do not hesitate to PM me!

Seriously, the longest chapter since Yukari Takeba Love Story!

LOPOV

February 2…

We were awakened by the soft rapping of one of the maids.

I immediately stood up and opened the door.

It was one of the newer maids.

She was probably around 15-18.

"Oh, Master Hotaru, I apologize for the sudden intrusion but Mistress Hikari requested us to bring you some breakfast in bed for you and your… uh… partner…" she said.

I yawned sleepily.

"*Yawn* Oh, you didn't have to do that, I could've done that by myself…" I said.

She shook her head and bowed.

"I'm sorry once again, Master, but Old Hisako insisted that you eat… why, she's here already!" she said.

My old maid brought some food and I thanked them as they bowed respectfully as they left.

I brought the food to Fuuka, who already made the bed.

"*Yawn* why did you fix the bed? I'm still pretty sleepy…" I said… sleepily.

"Oh… sorry… it's a habit of mine…" Fuuka said.

I laid the food down on our laps when we lay down.

"Well, the food tastes great!" Fuuka said.

"I'll say… when I first left, the food was all I ever missed…" I said melancholically.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess that you were pretty close to your maids?" Fuuka asked.

I bit my lip.

"Well, they did technically raise me… and every time I would get beaten by either mom or grandma, they'd fix me up…" I said.

Fuuka thought about it.

"I can't get off my chest that you'd forgive your mother that easily… I mean, no offence, but she did many terrible things to you…" Fuuka reasoned.

I shrugged.

"Whatever happens, she's still my mother and a part of my family… I HAVE to forgive her…" I said.

She smiled.

"Lee, you are the strongest person I will ever know…" she said.

We shared a great morning together.

Then, I went to my mother's room.

She was looking at some weird files.

"Mom… good morning…." I greeted.

"Ms. Ichi- I mean, good morning Mom…" Fuuka greeted rather shyly.

She looked up kindly.

"Good morning, dears… I'm looking through some files… apparently, Hotaru, you did quite well at the Academy…" she said.

I was a bit baffled.

"Academy? Ohhh, you mean boot camp? Well, yeah, sorta…" I said nervously.

"Yes… marked well at the exams, voted NCO at an early age, and is very popular among the new recruits… Major 'Lee' Otsuji… what a peculiar name…" she said.

I shrugged.

"No one's ever called me an Aida or Ichijou… so…" I said.

Mom laughed.

"I guess so… well, 'Lee', it seems that you did an honorable service for the United Nations, in spite of your little run-in with that tribe…" Mom said.

I frowned at the memories.

"Oh Hotaru… that was a long time ago…" she said, comforting me with a hug.

After spending three days at the Ichijou estate, (which is really big, about 23 hectares of land, mind you) remembering all the rivers and creeks I used to explore as a lad, the trees I sat under all day, writing haiku's and poems as the day passed, the same mini hills that I sat by while watching the sunset.

After I said my goodbyes and farewells I went out, after promising everyone that Fuuka and I would visit very soon.

As I revved up the engine, my mom came by.

"Hotaru, the last few days have been pretty emotional, to say…" she said.

"All in the past, Ma…" I said.

"Well, you wouldn't want to leave your cousin here, would you?" she asked.

I tried to comprehend that.

"I don't follow." I said.

Mum smiled kindly.

"Your little cousin is all grown up now, and he wants to go with you, along with his best friend, Daisuke." She said.

"Well, sure thing, Ma…" I said.

Out of nowhere, Kou burst out from the bushes.

"Yeah, Boi! That's what I'm talking about!" Kou said, slinging a travel bag on his shoulder.

"Are you sure about this, Kou?" I asked.

"Damn straight! I'm almost 20 years old and I need a trip out!" he said.

Then, the sound of thunderous feet jolted me.

"Don't forget me!" Daisuke said, appearing out of the blue.

He was carrying a knapsack full of clothes.

"*pant* I… *pant* want to see… *pant* my sister!" he said.

"Okay, but how are you two coming over to Iwatodai?" I asked.

"Well, dad lent me his old bike…" Kou said.

"Alright, it would be a two day trip, considering the time and how many we are, so we'd best be off!" I said.

"Bye Hotaru." Mom said.

"Bye mom." I said.

After bidding her a fond farewell, we set off on the open road, with my cousin and his friend in tow.

KAPOV

February 7

Rachel and I were just chilling out by the Bay area, when I got a sudden phone call from Lee…

"Hey, Lee, wassap dude? Where have you been? Junpei and the rest have been asking where you've been for the past five days…" I said.

"Oh, sorry, Fuuka and I went out to visit my mom… Alright, I'll ask him, Daisuke! Amada, how's it hanging? Is Rachel there?" he asked.

"Yeah, she's right here beside me." I said.

Rachel craned her neck at my mentioning of her.

"Alright! Quit being impatient!" he said to someone, "Can you ask her if she knows a Daisuke Nagase?" he asked.

I looked at Rachel,

"Hey, Rach, d'ja know a Daisuke Nagase?" I asked.

Her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, he's my big bro, but I've lost contact with him a few years back when I was kidnapped. Why?" she asked.

I put my ear back at the phone.

"She knows him and she's asking why."

"Well… Daisuke's here in the city and he wants to meet her. Meet us at the SEES mall around noon." He said.

"Sure. Smell ya later, senpai!" I said.

"Well… do you want to meet your elder brother?" I asked.

"Yeah… but as I said before, pin head, I don't know where he's at…" she said sadly.

"Well, you don't need to look further, 'cuz he's here in the city…"

Rachel reacted so differently, I was at loss for words.

I decided to let actions speak.

I walked her, since we were at the rocky shore, by the Moonlight Bridge, to the SEES mall.

We saw Lee, Fuuka-senpai and two homely looking dudes, one short with indigo hair and the other one was a tall, lanky man with dusty brown hair.

He came excitedly.

"Are you… Rachel?" he said, while holding me.

"Uh… that would be the girl beside me." I said.

"Man, I need to get a haircut…" I said to Lee.

He holds Rachel.

"Hey! Keep your hands off my girlfriend!" I yelled.

"Dude, relax, he's her brother…" the indigo haired guy said.

"Suuuure, that's how it all starts, uhhh-"

"Kou. That there is Daisuke."

"Nuance!"

They were talking animatedly, sipping sodas and chatting merrily.

They were so happy, that it seemed like we were intruding on their privacy.

We decided to leave them alone while we went window shopping.

Later, Rachel called me.

"Ken, this is my big brother, Daisuke. Onii-chan, this is Ken-kun, my… boyfriend."

We both shook hands.

"Well, Ken, I heard you protect my sister. Thanks for that…"

I said something I felt was about to happen…

"Are you taking her away?" I asked.

Daisuke frowned.

"Sis… I forgot to mention this to you… but mom and dad died a while back… so, technically, I'm your legal guardian. Since you're the only family I have left, I want to stay wherever you feel comfortable in…"

"Onii-chan… I want to stay here. But you're gonna need to find a job."

Daisuke laughed in a rich baritone voice.

"Soon, sis, soon…" he said.

Daisuke slept in Lee's house with Kou, while Rachel slept in the gang hideout while I went home sleeping in Sanada-san's house.

MAPOV

February 6

Opening day for the SEES mall, and no sign of my dear friend Lee or my long time friend, Fuuka…

It was pretty hectic, so I decided to just wing it during the speech.

A speech which is going to be addressed to the people, the mayor and many other powerful and influential people from the Bay area.

Great. Just… great…"

I began the speech:

"Hello everyone!" I said.

Everyone looked at me.

"Uh… yeah… uh…" I stuttered, until I got a text from Yukari.

It read:

HIT THEM OPPA-ROMAN STYLE!

-YUKARI

"Uh… Friends, Iwatodians, fellow countrymen. LEND ME YOUR EARS!"

Everyone was so surprised, they sat up straight.

"You have come here to listen, not to sit idly by."

Everyone was nodding their heads.

"The evils of the competitions that our neighbors give to us,"

They looked onto me.

"The good, like that of the Paulownia, is mixed with their dirty ethics and false advertising,"

They were getting interested.

"So, let it be with Junes, The Imagawa Group, which controls Junes, has told you that Mitsuru Kirijo is ambitious."

"If it were so, then they made a fatal flaw, hubris if you might,

And fatally, Junes hath fallen for it,

Here, under the might of the Kirijo and the Arisato,

For the alliance of our clans is honorable,

So were the Nanjo, but they had fallen.

So had the Imagawa's, but the fierce leader of the Kirijo group stamped out that coward heir...

She was my friend, loyal and faithful.

But if others were to describe her, they would say she was ambitious. Too overly ambitious.

I think not.

So I address this to the Imagawa Group, if some were to be had here,

Whose money was used for the humanitarian group that saved thousands of at-risk lives?

Did this action seem to them as overly ambitious?

When the poor and the marginalized cry, Madame Kirijo has wept,

Ambition is not a transgression. It is a virtue.

Yet, the Imagawa claim she was fake.

And they are a just group.

You all saw their slogan,

'For you, we serve'

They even tried to help Mitsuru by donating 1.5 million yen to her, which she duly denied.

Tell me, nobles of the Bay City, is this 'ambition'?

Yet they called her ambitious.

And sure, they claim they help make people's lives convenient.

I do not dishonor them with this,

All of you had heard of the Kirijo group,

What cause withholds you then, to listen to the,?

O Universe! Thou art a foul knave!

Men of this noble shore hath lost their reason, do bear with me,

My heart is forever with Mitsuru,

And I must pause, while it comes back to me.

But I'm here to speak of what I know…" I paused.

Everyone listened intently.

"SEES mall is now open for business."

Thunderous rounds of applause.

Everyone laughed as I announced they may eat the buffet laid out to them.

Mitsuru congratulated me.

"How did you know about Marc Anthony's eulogy speech?"

I shrugged.

"I was bored back at Italy. All they had was a big library." I said,

I went out to meet Yukari, who was sitting on the reserved table, where the rest of the gang were seated.

"Good one, Minato." She said.

I had forgotten how sweetly Yukari smiled.

"Thanks for the help, Yuks."

She blushed.

"You're welcome, O Marc Anthony!" she said.

"I must say, that speech was the most inspiring and eloquent speech I have ever heard." Naoto said.

"And that's saying a lot, senpai." Kanji said.

"Anyways, let's eat!" Yosuke said.

KIPOV

I was walking with Lee and Daisuke and Fuuka-san along the SEES mall, looking at some things and bought a bottle of Arisato wine.

Until… I see a familiar face.

I went up to her.

"Yuko?" I asked.

She looked at me.

"Yuko Nishiwaki?" I asked again.

"Yes, I'm Yuko, but who are you?" she asked.

"Oh! I'm Kou Ichijou…" I said.

Her eyes brightened.

"Kou!" she embraced me.

"Yuko!"

I decided to walk with Yuko, leaving the three to look at me as I texted them that I had an impromptu date.

ASPOV

February 5

Well, Akihiko here…

Chie Satonaka had been my new trainer since my old team was sacked by that jerk Nathan…

I was boxing the punching bag, when Chie sighed annoyedly.

"No, no, no… you're doing it all wrong… you need to fix your stance and punch in an angle…" she said.

I grabbed a towel.

"Chie, I don't mean to insult you, but I'm a seasoned boxer, I've never, ever lost a single professional match since my debut. That's like, 38 matches… trust me, my form is perfect." I said.

"It's all wrong… it works well against your first few matches, but if several boxers scouted you, you'd be KO'ed in the first round. You need to do an ALI stance, stand your ground, like a rock."

"That's crazy. My form is perfect."

She smirked.

"Alright… then you wouldn't mind a little sparring match with me? My kicks versus your punches?" she asked.

I looked at her like she was nuts.

"But… you're a girl. I can't fight you… I mean, I knocked out the King Hippo in 2 rounds…" I pointed out.

"What's wrong? The man who knocked out King sissy is scared of me?" she asked.

Everyone at the Gym laughed.

I couldn't resist.

"Oh man!" Chie said as she wore her shin guards.

I wore my Everlast gloves, just to make it pretty easy for her.

"Alright, when things begin to get intense, just shout out 'UNCLE', okay?" I said.

"Yeah, yeah…" she said, as Yukiko and Yosuke arrived.

"Looks like Chie picked another fight…" Yukiko said.

"Hoo boy…" Yosuke said.

Ding!

I advanced on her.

No matter how obnoxious my new trainer was, I couldn't bring myself to hit her.

I tried to pull off a punch, but she swept using her legs.

Immediately, I was on my ass on the floor as the entire gym went silent.

I was WAAAY too stunned by the fall. It was already the 5 count.

I stood up.

I landed a powerful haymaker, which was suppose to knock her out instantly, but amazingly (for lack of a better word) she was still standing, though shaking her head.

She set me up with a few kicks to the head, which jarred me terribly.

As I fell, I stood back up, but she finished me off with a horribly powerful punt to the gut that felt like a big, metal bowling ball with a protruding foot hitting me on the mid section, which sent me flying.

I coughed up a fit of blood.

She went down and said, to my face:

"You blew it. You better fix your stance. And listen to me. Got it? Consider your indomitable record -beaten- by the Chiemiester." She said, with a blackened eye.

Yukiko went up to me.

"I know Chie's teaching style could be a little… unorthodox, but please… bear with her…" She said before walking up to Chie.

Yosuke went up to me.

"You alright, dude?" he asked while handing me a bottle of Gatorade.

"Damn… I feel like a freight train hit me… oww…" I groaned as I traced my fingers on a nasty bruise on my face.

"Yup. The patented Satonaka Galactic Punt." Yosuke said.

"That's a scary name…" I said.

Meanwhile, at the vending machine, where Chie bought a MadBull…

"Chie… I've seen what kind of person Akihiko is… he is a kind, noble man. And in the short time I've known him, he really responds well to positive reinforcement, kind words… if he is a little bullish with you, then maybe you could give a little push in the right direction? It would be good…" Yukiko said.

Chie wiped the sweat off her brow.

Then, she nods.

"I guess I was a bit hard on him… I think you're right, Yukiko… I DO need to give him a gentle push…"

Later…

"20 pushups, now!" Chie yelled at me.

I got on my pushup stance.

"Twenty? Easy cake!" I boasted.

"Forty!" she yelled.

"What?" I said.

"Sixty!" she yelled again.

"Chie…"

"Eighty!" She yelled.

I concluded that if I didn't want the pushup count to reach a hundred, I'd better clamp up.

Well, Chie and I trained vigorously for a week.

I took her out to dinner to thank her.

In spite of her Spartan style of discipline, I was really beginning to get good.

She even gave me a tip of eating four tablespoons of sugar to help myself be more reflexive during a match.

I ordered a jumbo beef steak on a hot plate for Chie, while I ordered the Kaiser Cesar salad.

"I'm sorry, Chie, for hitting you too hard last time…" I said.

She smiled wryly.

"I'm sorry for kicking your ass last week, but this old thing? This is just a notch on my belt. I have worse battle scars… you wouldn't know, you've never been to the TV world!" Chie said.

I scoffed.

"Well, have YOU been to the tower of Tartarus? Thirty minutes there is a seven hour work out. It was hell back then…" I recounted.

That set of a long battle of I-Am-Greater-Than-Thou story telling.

I just could not believe some of her stories.

"Chie, not to be rude, but who fights with her feet? And who in the world can punt a tank into the outer space? You're not Steel Leg." I pointed out.

"And you're not Iron Fist. But I'm not complaining…" she said.

After that night, Chie and I became very close…

And to be VERY frank, she was kinda growing on me…

I… I think I like her…

February 14…

I took Chie out on a 'friend-trainer date'

She was a modest girl, only wanting a date on anywhere that served her favorite food: Beef steak.

I took her to the Beef Bowl Place.

I bribed the waitress to give us a seat by the bay window.

"This view is fantastic!" she said.

We talked about sports and martial arts in general, until the Beef supreme arrived.

As she digged in, I began talking to her.

"I know… say, Chie I've known you a long time, yeah?" I asked.

"*munch* Huh? Well, yeah, I guess, if three months count as a 'long time'… why?" she asked.

"Well, I just wanted to ask if… you had any… past boyfriends…" I asked.

She gave an astonished face.

"Wha- where did this come from? Uh… well, you could say… including Yu-kun?" she asked.

"Uh, yeah, including Narukami-kun…"

"One." She said simply.

"Well… good. Shows you are loyal… Can't say the same for ol' Yu-kun…"

"Haha… How 'bout you?" she asked.

"Me? Nah, I never had a girlfriend before…" I admitted honestly.

Chie was so shocked, she dropped her steak.

"What? At your age? Not even one?" she asked.

"Nah…" I said.

"Well, that's impossible. Someone with your handsome looks, princely charms and celebrity fame?" she asked.

"Look, I never had a single girl… they keep saying that I'm way too obsessed with boxing…"

Chie scoffed.

"I hate those girls, the ones that go: oh, pay attention to me! And why aren't you going out with me? I swear, they're pathetic…"

"Yeah… then they go: All you do is win matches, I mean why not win a girl?" I said.

"They're the worst…" she said.

"Yeah… they… they're not like you." I said uncontrollably.

She looked at me.

"W-what?" she said, hoping she had mistakenly heard what I said.

"I like you. No. I love you… I always have loved you… even when you beat the hell out of me… maybe I'm a masochist, but that's how I feel." I said.

"A-Akihiko…" she said.

I went closer to kiss her, half expecting a hard slap or a boot to the nut, but I was shocked that she offered zero resistance.

I kissed her for ten seconds.

"A-A-Akihiko… what are we doing?" she said.

"What do you say? Will you be my girl? Fist and Foot, working together as a team?" I asked.

She looked at me like I was a star in the sky.

Then looked down, as if that star fell.

"I…can't… I'm still with Yu… Akihiko… it pains me to do this, but I can't be anything more than friends with you… I…I'm so sorry." She left me.

I walked by the beach and sat there, looking at the horizon until dusk, cursing my luck.

YNPOV

February 13

When I woke up this morning, I didn't know where the ladies were, so I had given them written invites about a Valentine's Day party in the Tatsumi island on their Facebook.

And orders NOT to tell the others.

They can't ALL accept…

Later, I was at Arisato Imports, doing my duties, writing reports of our sales, filing several files, reading my co-workers E-mails and writing "IM GAY" to my cubicle mate who left his Facebook account unguarded while he went to the bathroom.

Then, Lucy came up to me.

"Yu-kun, dear, I'm free tomorrow, so pick me up at 5." She said before walking off.

Well, I have a date…

Next, on my Facebook, Rise messaged me.

StarRise: SeNPhAi, Ahm FrEe at 5 30 ToMorRow, So PiCk mE Up oKey? I WoNt TelL NoOne, AyE SwEaR!

"Uh-oh…" I said.

Two dates? No problem!

Then, Yukiko messaged me.

SnowFirechild: Hello, Yu-kun, I'm quite free at 6:30 PM, so do pick me up and try to be as early as you can, okay? I won't tell the others, don't worry

I put my hands on my face.

It can't get any worse than this…

Then, in a cliché kind of way, Chie messaged me.

ChieMunster30: yo yu, im actually free tomorrow at 6 so pick me up and dont be late k? I wont tell d others about our d8, so b der!

I'M IN DEEP SHIT.

I went to my cousin Minato's office, which he seemed surprised at me coming in.

"Hey cuz, I know I said you can come in anytime, but I'm sorta busy an-"

"It's an emergency…" I said.

"Oh?"

"Okay, I sent the gals invites via Facebook about possibly going out on a date with me and the gals-"

"Who says gals? Gals are for cowgirls!" he said.

"If you would let me finish! They all accepted!" I said.

"Why did you invite all of them?"

"I don't know! Dojima always said I don't think things through! What am I now?"

"Okay, what would you be if you were attached to an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis?" he asked.

"Uh… screwed?"

"There you go. In other words, you are in deep, deep, deep chest high on a river of shit." He said.

"But! I have a plan." He said.

The plan was to go take Lucy first, then Rise, then Yukiko and finally, Chie.

Then dance with them at intervals.

I drove a car lent to me by Minato, a convertible used for deliveries, and drove Lucy, then Rise, then Yukiko, then Chie.

I danced with Lucy first.

"You seem tense. Just let loose and shake your ass, sexy boy!" she said.

"Yeah, yeah, I need to use the loo…" I said.

Then, I danced with Rise.

"Senpai, I love you!" she said.

"Yeah, yeah, that's great." I said, craning my head to see if the girls were nearby.

"I need to use the crapper. BRB." I said.

"Senpai! Playing hard to get I see!" she said after I ran off.

I went to Yukiko and danced with her.

"Well, Yu-kun, this is nice."

"I guess…" I said.

"Oh, stop being so aloof…"

Then, I went to dance with Chie.

"Hey, I never wore stripper shoes before, by this feels great!" she said.

"Yeah, yeah…" I said, looking out for the other girls.

"Oh, c'mon!" she said.

I did this cycle for six times before the emcee announced something.

"Now, for the traditional awarding of the Eye catcher award, we have a new winner: Mr…" he opened an envelope.

"Yu Narukami! Please come up the stage with your lucky date!" I froze.

Knowing Lucy, she dragged me up the stage.

The other girls went up too.

It wasn't pretty.

Everyone got a kick watching four beautiful girls fight over me.

The nearest guy said:

"Busted."

When we rode back, I was carrying the award.

The girls were cursing me and each other.

But they were cursing each other more.

Like: Damn you, what give you the right to hog damn Yu-kun, and other stuff…

"Yu-kun, you have to make a choice. On your birthday." They forced me to promise.

Lucy, o Lucy…

Rise, oh Rise…

Yuki, oh Yuki…

Chie, oh Chie…

A one woman man, I want to be…

But there's four perfect girls for me…
