9. Otaru's Engagement
The 3 sisters were at home sitting at the couch, waiting for their father's friend to come.
The door bell rang.
"Here they come!" Ieyasu opened the door. "Old Sam!"
"Oh Ieyasu! How are you?" said Uncle Sam.
They hugged each other.
"How are you old friend? It's been 20 years since last time I saw you!" said Ieyasu.
"Yeah... time passes so quickly. I nearly can't recognize you!"
"You don't look much different than 20 years ago though..." said Ieyasu, "Except your hair turned white."
Uncle Sam was a thin, old man, with white hair and long white beard.
"I can't believe it's been 20 years... hey son." Uncle Sam called his son, who was hiding behind.
"Hey son, don't be shy, come on in." said Uncle Sam.
His son was not coming.
"God damn it..." Uncle Sam when out and pulled his son inside.
His son came in and he saw the 3 sisters.
The 3 sisters saw the young fellow, and they were all astonished.
"Otaru!"
Otaru stood there, in shock. He couldn't believe those 3 daughters his father told him were them.
Bloodberry remembered what Otaru told them when they first met in class.
"So... one of us have to marry Otaru!" they realized.
"... yeah those were the days..." Uncle Sam saw his son and the 3 sisters while he was talking to Ieyasu.
"Oh, Ieyasu, your kids are all very pretty!" said Uncle Sam.
"Girls, this is Uncle Sam." said Ieyasu.
"Good evening Uncle Sam." All 3 sister said.
"This is Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry." Ieyasu told Uncle Sam.
"I see... yeah girls, this is my son Otaru."
"We know Otaru, we met in school before." said Bloodberry.
"Oh really? How nice." said Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam pushed Otaru lightly in the back. "Otaru, go sit with them."
"Yes father..."
Otaru went to the couch, where there was enough space for 1 more person. He sat next to Bloodberry.
Uncle Sam knew exactly what he should do. "Hey Ieyasu, I want to see some of your photographs."
"Oh yeah come here I will show you." Ieyasu guided Uncle Sam into the room.
The 3 sisters and Otaru were alone in the living room. Otaru was embarressed.
They were just sitting there. Total silence. The 3 sisters and Otaru would like to talk, but they didn't know what to say.
Otaru looked around, looked at them, Bloodberry was next to him.
Bloodberry... she looked good. She was beautiful. He never looked so closely.
"Hmm... foxy lady..." Otaru had a song in his mind.
Bloodberry noticed that he was staring at her. She blushed. "Hmm... Otaru, so you will have to marry one of us."
"Er... yes, very likely."
Otaru looked at each 3 of them. He was thinking, "If I can choose one of them, who should I choose?"
Otaru couldn't make a decision for now.
"... And, are they willing to marry me?" Otaru thought, "It will be hard for each of us."
It's still dead silence.
"Er... I need to go to the washroom." said Otaru, and he left.
They heard Otaru closed the washroom door.
"So, do you mind if you have to marry Otaru?" asked Cherry to her sisters.
"Hmm... I won't mind, if I really have to." said Bloodberry. "I think Otaru is cute. And I'm his biggest fan too."
"How about you Lime?" asked Cherry.
"Hmm... I don't know. May be I should discuss with Squirrelly." said Lime.
"Cherry, how about you then?" asked Bloodberry.
"I think Otaru is ok... but..." Cherry was thinking about Faust. Then she began to fantasize.
"Oh Faust, I don't need Otaru, all I want is you!"
"Oh Cherry, you are so sweet..." said Faust. And Faust was about to kiss her.
"Oh no... don't... so many people are watching us... no..."
"OH NNNNOOOO!!!" Cherry screamed.
Otaru, Ieyasu and Uncle Sam all rushed out.
"What's the matter?" Ieyasu was shocked.
Cherry woke up from her fantasy. "Oh... I'm sorry... I'm fine... sorry..." She blushed.
Bloodberry sighed. "She did it again..."

In the morning, Lime was sitting on the tree branch again.
"... guess what? He was Otaru! One of us will have to marry him." Lime told Squirrelly. "My father hasn't made up the decision that which of us will marry him yet. Do you think I should marry Otaru?"
"gee..." said Squirrelly.
"Hmm... yes, me too. I really don't know." said Lime.
Lime saw Eric approaching.
"Oh it's Eric! Hao Eric!" Lime was waving her arm.
"Hey Lime... I'm sorry I can't be here now since I have to go to the Jazz Club room to jam with Ginger and Jack."
"I see. It's fine."
"Oh yeah Lime, see what I brought you?" Eric showed Lime something.
"McGroovey Chicken burger! I love it!" said Lime.
"Hey catch it." Eric threw the paper warped burger to Lime. Lime caught it with both hands.
"Thank you so much Eric! You are so nice!"
"Enjoy it! See you soon."
"See you!" Lime waved her arm again.
