4. Eric Met Lime
It's about 5pm, Eric and the band must leave.
"Eric, it's inspiring to see you all jamming. You got a great band. I must go now. See you tomorrow." said Otaru.
"Ok see ya!"
Eric walked towards the gate of JIS, and on the way, he saw that blue haired girl on a tree. He knew it's time to check out what she was doing there.
Eric was under the tree, looking up. He saw Lime playing with a squirrel.
Lime saw Eric. Eric saw Lime looking at him, and he looked elsewhere.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to disturb you. I saw you on the tree this morning and I was thinking what were you doing on the tree actually." said Eric.
Lime put down Squirrelly, and climbed down. Eric saw this girl before, in the class, but the class was a huge one and he didn't know who she was.
"Hao! I am Lime! You must be Eric, how are you?" Lime smiled at Eric. "I heard about you from Cherry before."
Eric saw the smile, and he was stunned by it. He had never seen anything like that before. This girl was like an angel, and her smile is something different, that made him felt different. She was so lovely.
The squirrel jumped to Lime's head. Lime took him and showed him to Eric. "He is Squirrelly, my best friend. He is cute isn't he?"
"So you were playing with Squirrelly?"
"Yes. And I enjoy the view and the breeze up on the tree."
"Hmm... very nice."
"Oh... it's late. I must go home now, or Cherry will be mad at me. Squirrelly, I will see you tomorrow, ok?" Lime put Squirrelly to her cheek, caress him and then kissed him good bye.
Lime put down Squirrelly, Squirrely quickly climbed back to the tree, on the branch he looked at Lime once, and then went straight to a hole in the tree.

Lime and Eric were at the gate of JIS. They walked back home together.
"There will be a gig next week, I think you will take part right?" asked Lime.
"Oh yeah... I formed a new band with Ginger and Jack, I will play with them in the gig."
"Oh really! The president of the Jazz Club? I saw him play before and he is excellent! Also Jack, he sounds good!"
"Yes, they are very good. I just jammed with them, I know we are going to be something different. You like Jazz music?"
"Yes, I love it! It's very relaxing! I don't know much about music, but I like to listen to what sounds good. Squirrely loves Jazz music too!"
"I see. Do you like blues?"
"I like blues too! They both sound good. I heard from Cherry that you are a very good blues guitarist!"
"Well... yes I'm a blues guitarist. I'm glad you like blues too. Will you go to the gig next week?"
"Certainly! And I will see you with Ginger and Jack! I think you must sound really good! I'm looking forward to that!"
Eric and Lime had reached Lime's apartment.
"Eric, it's very nice to know you. See you!"
"Ok Lime, take care and see ya."
Lime ran into the building, her blue hair was waving in the air like silk. Eric stood there until he saw Lime went inside the building and closed the door.
"Lime, a really nice girl." Eric thought. "She is so kind, look at how she handled Squirrelly." Then the picture of her smile was in his mind. "Hmm... oh yes I gotta go it's very late."

Lime entered her apartment and closed the door.
"Everybody I'm home."
"Lime, the dinner is almost ready." said Cherry, in the kitchen.
Bloodberry was watching TV, the Music channel, which was showing the MTV of one of her favourite, the Kings which had frontman Freddie and the guitarist Brian.
Lime was watching too. "Galileo? I don't understand what they are talking about."
"I don't know too. But this is my favourite song by them."
"Hmm... I think they are too loud."
After the MTV ended, their father, Ieyasu, came out of the bathroom.
"Bloodberry, I want to watch the news."
"Ok dad, I will switch the channel."
"Dinner's ready!" Cherry told everyone.
"Yay! I'm hungry!" said Lime.
The food was grilled fish, deep fried pork chop, soup and rice, Lime's favourite.
"Wah! Looks delicious!"
"Lime wash your hands first!" said Cherry.
"Ok!" Lime quickly went to the bathroom, washed her hands and back to the table.
Lime enjoyed the food. She had always enjoyed the food by Cherry. She could be satisfied easily.
"Cherry, more rice please."
"Oh Lime, there is no more rice already."
"Oh really? Ok, I'm full!"
After dinner, Lime took a shower, did her homework, played some video games, then went to sleep.
"Goodnight, Ponta-kun." She spoke to her doll that she was hugging on the bed, then she closed her eyes.
