Episode 22

"You had better explain, 'cause if you don't I'm leaving." Nozomi said crossly.

"That's easy, we were talking about how she feels like Eagle's her brother." Heero replied.

"Why did she come to you?" Nozomi pondered out loud.

"Because... Her best friend *IS* Eagle. I was the next best-"

"Because he loves me and I know it." Serena answered.

Nozomi rolled her eyes. "Well, Heero-chan, when you have an answer I'll be at the ice cream shop." And then she left calmly.

She knew that Serena was just being silly. And she was gonna have Heero prove it to her.

Heero hurried down the stairs. "You should go after her," Micah instructed.

Heero nodded and Micah patted him on the back. he left and Micah couldn't help but giggle.

Oh his back was a sign that said 'kick me'.

Next Scene

"Well Trunks, I sort of have a boyfriend already. Though we're not official." Scarlet replied as she tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear.

"Not official? You mean that you're not a couple?" Trunks said as he raised an eye brow.

"Not *OFFICIALLY* but we are kinda a couple." Scarlet replied, realizing that this sounded stupid.

"Then how about you go with me to get some ice cream after we're done here at work?" Trunks replied.

Scarlet had to think about that, Duo had yet to ask her out, and Trunks was really nice. He made her smile and blush, just what every girl wants. But he didn't make her heart do anything out of the ordinary. Not the way Duo did. And Duo could make her laugh when she never thought possible.

"Thanks for the offer, and you're a really nice guy. But I'm busy after work." Scarlet replied politely.

"Well, if you reconsider, let me know ok." Trunks replied as he flashed a brilliant smile.

Scarlet smiled back, "sure."

Next Scene

Nona sat on the couch in the family room. She had flipped through the channels and come up with nothing to watch. The summer was half over and they had done nothing but save the world.

She clasped her hands in her lap and sighed. She picked a piece of lint off her dark blue jean shorts. Then she stood up and walked around the room.

"I need an idea," she said.

Suddenly it hit her, a trip to an island would be great! Of course it couldn't be in a fancy resort or anything, but still...

She grabbed the phone and called Kokurami.

"Hey, I just got the most brill idea!" Nona said excitedly.

"What?"

"We all need to go on a trip to an island together! And I mean it! We can camp out and just chill!" Nona said.

"Great idea! What could go wrong on a little island?" Kokurami replied.

"Exactly my point," Nona said.

"Great! I'll call the others and see when they all want to leave!" Kokurami replied.
