Shin stood waiting for Touma to come down the stairs. He stood there in light blue tennis shoes, blue jeans, and a white shirt with Taka of La'Cryma Christi on the front, the band name on the back. Shin checked his watch. Everyone else had left Touma and Shin there 45 minuetes ago, and Touma was still upstairs. Shin couldn't wait any longer. He walked up the stairs, fuming about how long it took his cerulean-haired friend to get ready. He stopped at Touma's door, the room he shared with Seiji. Shin has been nervous about opening this door, after one night seeing what was keeping Touma and Seiji from coming down to see a movie. Shin had gone up to check, and came back down seeing sights that he felt was not worth being early for the movies. Right as he was about to knock, Touma opened the door, a big smile on his face. " I have good news." He grabbed Shin's arm and looked at his watch. "Why didn't you tell me we were running late?! Come on, I'll give you the news on the way out. I drive."



The two hopped into Touma's car, a Mini Cooper with the British flag on it. "Have I told you," Shin said with a smile, "that I love this car?" Touma grinned, then sped out of the driveway. "Ok, now for the good news." Touma began. "I found you someone." A very audible groan was emitted by Shin. "Now, don't give me that look! The only way you are ever getting over Ami is to find someone new! Now, this person is really nice, Seiji met her in the museum. He called and told me she was perfect for you. That's why i took so long. She's going to meet you at the movies tonight at 6:30." "She WHAT?!" Shin exclaimed. "I set up your date, because I knew you would never go through with it." Shin sighed. Touma knew him well, there was no denying that. But was he right about having to date to forget about Ami? Shin wasn't so sure. But, he had been in enough arguments with Touma about things like this to know the resistance was futile. He sighed. "All right. I'll see her tonight at 6:30. Can I at least know the name of this girl I've been paired off with?" Touma smiled. "Jo." Shin gave him a strange look. "I think you might have me mixed up with Ryo. I'm the straight one." Touma laughed. "No, it's a girl. Her name is Jo. Look at it this way, you won't have to go to Charlies tonight." Shin sat back and turned up the La'Cryma Christi cd in the cd player. There was one good mark for a suprise date tonight.
