Ran won the karate tournament and Shinichi promised to take her to Tropical Land. They were eager to look forward this awaited date. Both have special feeling for others but neither of them knew the feelings of their partners.

Walking beside her, Shinichi felt confused. Ran deliberately walked happy-go-lucky steps on their way, cheerfully talked giggled, her hands accidentally touched his hands, which made crimson bloom on his cheek . He wanted to hold her hand but afraid of that she could oppose.

They reached indoor game zone, played "Castro speed" together. Shinichi helped Ran get on the motorbike before he settle himself right away behind her. Ran leaned forward a little to reach the gun in the middle, followed by Shinichi also leaned forward to catch the two handle of the vehicle. He felt a bit embarrassed. This is a first time they had been closed like that (maybe there were sometime at their early ages, yet he has never had this feeling). She was so closed between his arms as if he could hold her. His minds seemed attracted by her charming scent, her hair is so smooth like silk...He felt his cheek near by hers, just a small turn he could touched her either cheek by cheek or gave her a quick soft kiss on her lovely cheek... A voice cut off his imagination

"Shinichi! DRIVE! turn left or we 'll crash!"

" Uhm.. Sorry, got it!"

He leaned , bent the motorbike to the left. She leaned along w him on the same vehicle. He stopped thinking ( or somewhat dreaming, imagining), quit letting his minds wander in the 9th cloud, focused on the game they were playing.

" Ran, Shoot! in the corner. Quick, quickly, quickly!" Shinichi shout loudly as the enemy appeared on the screen

"Yeah! Yeah! They die." Ran exclaimed after she targeted successfully

"It serves them right" he giggled

"Hey, Shin , watch out!"

...

They played and spouted happily when chasing after the B.O (of course in the game ;))

Time over and they won the game. "Yeah, we won" Ran shouted cheerfully as she raised both arms in the air , sign of victory. Shinichi stayed still, glared carefully at girl in front of him, he lost his fear and embarrassment , his hand slowly approached her waist softly, don't dare to press tightly or pulled her back closer to him. He hesitated. Ran was stunned for a while as she was aware of Shinichi's hands touching her waist. Her face was tense because of surprise then stretched out a happy smile.

" ..uhm..., let's go, the game is over short while ago. Come to try another game!" Ran whispered in Shinichi's ear. She found hard to force her mouth start to speak. Honestly, she wanted to stay like this longer but they were in public now..., what if friends or acquaints caught them in the act...?

"...hm... right!" said Shinichi with lower voice. He loose his grip, released Ran.

He got off from the motorbike first then holding her hand, his arm played as the supporter giving her balance while she got out from the vehicle. With the eyes looked at the ground, she smiled quietly as she pressed his hand a bit firmly , rose along with his pulling. He glanced at her lovingly, his wish as the beginning had come true: he could hold her hand without her annoyance. He grinned to himself, a wave of satisfaction expand from his hand to the whole body, he felt the fairy smooth skin of her hand against his. They walked quietly, no one said a word. Both wanna enjoyed their first little romance for their life in silence.
