Himitsu no Kimichi(hidden feelings) Anime soap opera Episode 23

"Hmm, should I pack a fake rat in Heero's bag? Or the snake?" Micah asked as she held each in one hand.

Scarlet seemed to be thinking on it, but her response was weird. "I don't think I want to go on this trip."

Micah's eyes almost popped out of her head. "What do you mean?!"

"I just have a bad feeling... Well maybe not bad, but weird or funny. Odd maybe..." Scarlet said as she tried to jam her suit case closed.

Micah plopped the fake snake and rat on Scarlet's dark red bed sheets and hopped onto the bed. She then sat on the suit case in front of her sister.

"You gotta thinking about all the neat tricks we can play on Heero and Duo!" Micah replied with a sparkle in her eyes.

Scarlet burst out laughing. "Yeah, if only we could find a way to get the rat into Duo's bag." Scarlet pondered.

Micah giggled and nodded.

"Do you thinking Nozomi-chan and Heero-chan made up?" Scarlet said out loud.

Micah shrugged. "I hope so though, 'cause MAN can Heero wine when he wants to!"

Scarlet closed the latches on her red suit case, and then Micah was able to get off it.

"Thanks," Scarlet said with a smile.

Micah nodded and pick up her snake and rat and hurried to Heero's room to plant at least one...

Next Scene

Nozomi was lying on her back on her bed. She ran her hand over her crisp blue sheets. She wore a pair of dark blue shorts with white threading and a white tank top with black straps.

She was replaying the afternoon in her head. She had a very dreamy look in her eyes, and she was grinning like crazy.

~Flash Back~

Nozomi sat in a booth drinking a milk shake. It was fifteen minutes after she had left Heero's house. She wondered if he was coming or not. She used her straw to stir her milk shake. The chocolate swirled around and around...

"Could you stare at that shake any harder?" Teased a familiar voice.

Nozomi looked up and smiled. "Heero-chan."

Heero slide in next to her and kissed her on the cheek.

"I hope you're not mad. I really didn't realize she was just trying to flirt." Heero said as he scratched his head.

Nozomi laughed. "She wanted to do more than just flirt."

"Don't worry, if I don't have feelings for her, then she can't MAKE me. And believe be, I don't have feelings for her." Heero said as he wound a some of Nozomi's hair around his finger.

She smiled, "ok, yeah, you're right."

~End Flash Back~

Nozomi sighed happily and then remembered, she needed to pack. She couldn't wait to see Heero's face when he saw her in her bathing suit for the first time!"

Kitoshi had gone to the drug store to buy some travel shampoo, no use in taking a whole bottle. Though, she wasn't too sure that on an island there would be a place to shower, the brochure said it was secluded. But hey, why not come prepared?

While she was there she got some sun block and some sun glasses. Then she headed to the check out and placed the stuff on the counter. There at the counter was a nice guy, the tag on his shirt said 'Chichiri'. "Going some where?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to an secluded island with all my friends." She replied excitedly.

"Would one of them happen to be Heero, and another of them Scarlet?" He asked.

She nodded slowly. "How would you know?"

"Oh, I take classes with Heero and I work at a store with Scarlet. Heero actually invited me to come along, so I guess I'll see ya tomorrow bright and early?" he replied with a wink.

She blushed and nodded. "Cool, you'll look for me then ne?"

He nodded.

She paid for her stuff and left. As soon as she was out the door though, she grinned. "He's sooooo cute..."

Next Scene

James and Quatre were deciding what game boy games to take with them, Suu suggested ones without sound. The boys rolled their eyes.

"Too bad she has to come with us," Quatre complained.

"Hey, we should be so lucky to be going," James replied. But then he made a face at Suu.

"I still can't believe you got to piolet a Gundam." Suu said as stars appeared in her eyes.

"Oh boy, here we go again..." Quatre groaned.

"I think James is the best piolet of all times!" Suu said with a grin.

James laughed and shook his head. Sometimes she could be so immature... Though it was true, he *was* the best...

That morning, bright and early, Wufei picked Menz up at her apartment.

"Ready?" He said as he hung outside her door.

She nodded and handed him her bags.

"Yup I'm ready," she replied.

"Can't you carry your own bags?" He complained.

"You wanna see me in my bathing suit?" She asked.

He nodded quickly.

"Then carry," she replied.
