Chapter Seven
Fuu strapped Suu into her stroller and then handed her a small stuffed bunny.
"There you go Suu-chan." Fuu said with a smile.
Suu threw the toy at Ferio, so he handed it back. They repeated this several times before Fuu took the bunny. Suu cried and held out her hands for the bunny. Fuu reluctantly gave it back.
They then started on their short trip to the store.
"We are lucky, the grocery story is only a few blocks away." Fuu said as they walked down the street.
Ferio smiled.
"What?" Fuu asked.
"Just doing some imagining." He replied with a leer.
Fuu turned very red.
"Be careful," Fuu warned. "I might just let you get hit by a car."
"Car?" Ferio echoed. "Is that someone who's really mad?"
Fuu laughed. "No. It is something that we use to get from one place to another. A lot like a grounded small spaceship."
Ferio nodded. "Sounds good."
Fuu laughed again. "Oh! We're at the store already."
Ferio was amazed at how many other people were at the store. Not to mention how much food was there.
Fuu pushed the baby stroller along an isle while Ferio fallowed next to her.
"Is that Fuu-chan?" Hikaru whispered to Umi.
Umi's eyes grew wide. "And Ferio?!"
"Yeah it looks like Ferio. And Fuu's baby sister Suu!" Hikaru cried.
Umi nodded.
Suu threw her stuffed bunny at a tall stack of cans.
"Uh-oh..." Fuu muttered as the whole thing came crashing to the floor.
Everyone turned to see what the racket was.
Ferio searched for the bunny while Suu cried.
A girl from Fuu's school found the bunny and handed it to Ferio.
"Thanks." Ferio said.
"You and your boyfriend have a kid?" The girl asked.
Fuu and Ferio blushed.
"She's my sister..."
Ferio nodded.
Just then Umi and Hikaru popped into view.
"Fuu-chan!" Hikaru cried as she hugged her.
"Hello Hikaru-san." Fuu said wearily.
"You look tired." Umi commented. "Were you two... Doing that thing t....^^ all night?"
Fuu turned very red along with Ferio.
"What thing?" Hikaru asked.
"That thing that people who REALLY love each other do." Umi said as she winked at Hikaru.
"Oh! You mean that! Oooh Fuu you were kissing Ferio?!" Hikaru exclaimed.
Umi sweat dropped.
"This is hardly the place!" Fuu said as she turned her back to them and started down the isle again.
"Hey Fuu!" Umi called. "Let Hikaru and I take Suu off your hands for the afternoon!"
Hikaru nodded. "I looooove babies!"
"I don't know..." Fuu trailed off.
Ferio's eyes pleaded with Fuu's, and she finally caved in.
"That would be wonderful. Ferio and I could go out to lunch and then perhaps Ferio could catch up on his lost sleep." Fuu said.
"Because you were..." Umi trailed off with a grin.
"Up the whole night because Suu kept wailing." Fuu replied flatly.
Umi shrugged.
Hikaru pried Fuu's hands from the stroller handle. "Have a nice afternoon! We'll be over at 5:00pm!"
Fuu smiled at Ferio. "Well I suppose we should purchase this food and then head home."
"And then go out to lunch?" Ferio said.
Fuu nodded. "And then go out to lunch. Our first date." Fuu blushed.
Ferio smiled. "Why you keep blushing miss Fuu?" He teased.
She laughed. Ahh yes their first date.
