Fireworks Festival

Shibuya Movie Theater

Akira was standing outside of the theater; "I swear if I wasn't a phantom thief, I would be broke from all the fatty tuna I buy…"

"Well if you weren't a phantom thief, you wouldn't have met Morgana to buy him fatty tuna. Besides; how else are you going to get him off your back about coming with you all the time?"

"Well should I just tell him? To be honest, I can't believe that I'm hiding our relationship from a cat."

"Well think of it this way, if he was 'human' like he says he is, I highly doubt that Ann would be with him. She gets annoyed by him calling her Lady Ann and the constant talk of being a gentleman and talking down to everyone especially when he calls everyone an idiot instead of him and Makoto."

"Yeah that is true, it really pisses me off sometimes…"

That's when Ann comes jogging up to him; "Sorry I'm late, I was talking to my agency." "Don't lie, you were trying to figure out what to wear but you wore what you usually wear and you brought tissues." "Really Carmen! Thanks for embarrassing me..."

Akira laughs; "Its okay Ann, you look great in anything." "Just like Carmen."

Ann giggles; "Thanks Akira." "Thank you, Arsey!" "Um, are you ready to go in?"

Akira nods; "Yeah, let's go in."

An hour and thirty minutes later

Ann was holding Akira's arm with her head on his shoulder wiping her eyes with tissues. The movie was about a man who wasn't rich or had any status trying to save a woman he loves. The movie ended and Ann used the last of her tissues to blow her nose as they were walking out; "Are you okay?"

"Yeah sorry, I get real emotional with these kinds of movies. I know it's not a movie guys would watch…"

"I'm fine with it; all that matters is that we're hanging out."

Ann laughs; "Well, its funny, I always wanted a romance that was like the movies but now I do have that…with you." "I can't handle all this sweetness!"

"Well I try my hardest." He chuckles; "Even confessing to each other on our school's rooftop did sound like a romance movie." "Well at least yours was innocent unlike Carmen's confession…"

"Oh, I know that since Carmen wouldn't stop talking about it, Arsene..." "Oh yeah, if you two didn't show up, I would have…" "Do not even need to hear that part before or now or ever."

"Actually; now that I think about it, how do you even kiss if your face always has a angry scowl on it?" "Well that's because it's my mask, I mean all of us have one." He thinks about that and nods because he was right; " That is true."

"Oh! So how does he look without his mask on?" "Let's just say, it's the reason why I almost ravished him."

"Look at you Mr. Lady Killer." "There's a reason why they call me the gentleman thief." "Alright, calm down there Mr. Gentleman Thief. Anyway, ready to head back? We should get ready for tomorrow's festival."

Ann nods; "Yeah, let's get going" "Oh! I can't wait for that!"

Underground Walkway

The three boys were standing in the station waiting for Ann and Makoto. But Ryuji was breathing heavily and hung his head like he was exhausted; "Man, it's freaking hot outside! Feel like I'm going pass out!" "Quit yer bellyachin'! It's a test o' will standin' in the heat!" "Easy for you to say! You're not standing out here!"

Morgana was complaining as well; "Where are the girls!? They're taking forever!" "Yes! I'm dying to hear my precious Carmen again!"

Yusuke looks over at Akira; "Hmm, you aren't wearing your glasses. Are you able to see without them?" "That would be a pointless to not wear your glasses then."

Akira sighs feeling uncomfortable without his glasses; "Ann wanted me to not wear my glasses since I didn't have a yukata and yeah, I can see since I'm wearing contacts." "Wait, if you have these "contacts" to help you see better, why do you still wear your glasses?" "Because, they're really annoying to keep putting on and they sometimes make my eyes itchy."

Yusuke was about to respond but two girls in yukatas walked up to him

"Well hello there, you're really cute." One of the girls said eyeing Yusuke up and down.

"Yeah, are you a model? You really fit in with that yukata!"

"Why don't you come with us and watch the fireworks?"

Yusuke scoffs; "You two are disgracing the yukata. It is meant for tradition, not for picking up guys." "No class…" Akira and Ryuji face-palm

"Tch, whatever."

"Yeah what makes you better than us!?"

But they look over at Akira and go over to him; "Well aren't you a looker!" She then recognizes him; "Hey! Aren't you the transfer student with the record on you?"

Akira sighs; "Here we go again..."

"Oh yeah! it is! Well I do like bad boys." The girl went up to Akira's arm and held it; "Why don't you come with us?"

Akira gulps not expecting this; "Crap! What do I do!? I don't want to be rude…" "Don't ask me, you just have to be rude sometimes."

"AHEM" Everyone turned towards where the loud throat-clearing came from and they see Ann and Makoto walking up to Akira with the former having a glare that could kill; "He's with us...so I guess you have to leave." Ann spoke with a venomous tone.

"O-oh, we didn't know. We'll be leaving now." The girl says scared then she grabs her friend's hand and they both run away.

Ryuji was shocked from her anger; "Holy crap Ann! You scared the crap out of them!" "I rather go back t' the ocean depths again than make her mad..."

Akira lets out a breath that he didn't know that he was holding; "Thanks Ann."

Ann smiles at him; "Of course, you looked like you were in trouble, and so I improvised." "That will teach those harlots!"

Yusuke quickly texts Ryuji

[Yes, they are definitively dating, I've seen Ann's so-called improvisation and that reaction was real.]

[You can say that again! That look on her face was almost the same as the one when she almost killed Kamoshida's shadow!]

"Well you did great." Akira says and looks at both of them up and down; "By the way, you look great Ann and so do you Makoto."

Ann beams; "I knew you would like it!" "Oh please dear, you took hours to find the right one." "Shhh, he doesn't need to know that…"

Makoto blushes from his compliment; "Oh, um, thank you Akira-kun…" "My my, someone is appreciative towards Kurusu-san."

Ryuji looks at Morganal "Maybe you should learn how to be a gentleman from Akira." "Watch he's going t' say that he taught 'im everythin'…" Kidd whispers.

"That's because I taught him everything." "He would be nothing without us!"

"Told ye…"

Convenience Store

The group were under the store's awning because it had started raining except for Akira since he got stuck in a crowd.

Ann looks around for Akira; "Where's Akira?"

Akira came running out of a crowd of people; "Damn it, I'm all wet now...I got stuck behind a group of people…" "You should probably take off your shirt before you get a cold." "No, especially not in front of everybody."

Ann sighs; "Tell me about it...I can't believe my yukata got wet…" She then starts rolling up the part of her yukata covering her legs and starts squeezing out the water not realizing that it was revealing her leg. "Well dear, I didn't think you would show so much skin outside." "Huh!?" She then feels Makoto elbow her and points at the three guys but of course; Morgana was staring. She looks to were she was pointing and sees them trying their hardest not to look over at her making her instantly drop the rolled up yukata; "Well that was totally my fault…but at least Akira could've looked, sometimes I hate his gentlemanliness…" "You've been saying that a lot dear Ann, maybe you should not sometimes, hate him at all…" Carmen whispers. "I'll explain it to you what it means when we get home."

Akira looks over at Makoto once Ann covers her leg; "I saw you look at the girl in the limo like you knew her. Do you know who that was?"

Makoto nods; "Yes, her name is Haru. She's a senior in our school; usually I see her working on the school's plants though."

He thinks to himself for a moment; "Why do I have the feeling she's an important person?" "Not till the end of the game…" "Huh?" "Nothing." "Alright." He then looks in a nearby store wanting to get out of the rain; "You guys want to go inside? I want to get out of the rain…"

They all nod and went into the store

Once they do; Makoto awkwardly coughs trying to say something to lighten the mood; "Well at least we got of the rain..." "Maybe they'll do the fireworks another time?"

"Nah, they'll probably think it's not worth it." "Aw, I would love to hear some explosions; it would have reminded me of the cannon fire during my ship battles."

Akira sighs; "I'm going home, I need to get out of these clothes…" "You're going to get sick now, just run to the bathroom and let the water out of your shirt." But Akira makes a mischievous smile; "Actually no, I'm going to do what Ann did even, if it was an accident, let the teasing begin!" He then grabs his shirt and takes it off then starts to roll it up letting the water out of it. Ann and Makoto starts staring at him with wide eyes.

"I can't look away…" "Well dear, you definitely got a winner…." Carmen whispers. "You can say that again..."

"Oh wow…" "Well you're definitely not going to forget this moment…." Anat whispers. Makoto slowly nods her head

Akira gave them a mock surprise; "You pervs! Stop looking at me like I'm a piece of meat!" Arsene starts laughing." He starts laughing till somebody starts poking his shoulder behind him. He then looks behind him and sees that it was his manager.

"Um...Akira-kun, I'm going to have to kick you out for indecent exposure…"

Akira coughs nervously; "Oh...Oh sorry, yeah we'll leave…" He puts back on his shirt and turns around but saw a bunch of girls staring at himl "Well I was not expecting this…" "Ah, reminds me of my past life."
