Another Day, Another Time
Dear Diary,
Jeanne got away again! Arrgh! I'm definitely going to catch her next time! I got stuck in Iinchou's sticky glue trap, which he set up for Jeanne, but I got caught up in it. Come to think of it...Jeanne got stuck in it too! Demo...she got away! She's good, ne?
Demo...I kissed Iinchou two times last night! ^_^ I'm happy about that, despite the other event. And...Iinchou asked me out. It happened last night.
*****Miyako's flashback
"Miyako." Iinchou says after Miyako kisses him.
"Huh? What is it?"
"This is kind of hard to say..." Iinchou turns away.
"You can tell me, Iinchou."
"Ok...will you go out with me?" Iinchou stutters and starts turning a bit red.
"Iinchou! Do you really mean that?" Miyako said, surprised.
"Yes. So will you?"
"Yes. Yes, I will!" Miyako said excitedly.
"Y-you will?"
"Uh huh."
"G-great! I'll pick you up tomorrow night at 7:00! See you!" Iinchou runs off.
"Yeah, see you.."
*****Miyako's flashback ends
Anyway, Maron and Chiaki seem to be getting along much better than before. Maron's so lucky! Having Chiaki love her like he does...oh well. I've really gotten over him. I only consider him my friend now, just one of my really good friends.
Miyako locks up her diary and puts it away. After a few minutes staring at a picture of Maron and her, she puts her head on her desk.
'Maron...'
'I guess...we both have found someone we care for...'
She smiles.
'Yeah...that's it...'
Miyako falls into a light, but pleasant sleep.
"Ne, Chiaki.." Maron said outside, on her balcony.
"Hm?" Chiaki replied staring out into the sky.
"Do you think Miyako and Iinchou will get along from now on?"
Chiaki grins and looks at her.
"They will. I'm sure they will."
"Arigatou! I care for Miyako a lot...as you can see."
"Uh huh." Chiaki nods.
"I wouldn't want her to get hurt, like what I've been through...my parents going overseas and the kind."
"I know." Chiaki leans over his balcony and sweetly kisses Maron on her cheek.
"What was that for?"
"Because I love you..."
Maron smiles.
"I love you too, Chiaki."
Chiaki and Maron smile at each one last time before going back inside.
"Sindbad! Sindbad! I saw that!"
"Your point is?" Chiaki questions sarcastically.
"You love her! You love her!" Access starts flying around crazilly.
"Access? What's wrong with you?" Chiaki asks, worried.
"N-nothing?"
"Did you have an overdose on sweets?"
"Sweets? What are those?"
"Sugar." Chiaki says flatly.
"Oh...the round things you keep in that jar of yours all the time?"
"Yes. Now, you go get some rest to get rid of all that sugar, Access."
"Ok..." Access lies down on a sofa.
"Get some sleep. Goodnight." Chiaki turns off the lights in the room.
"'Night."
"Maron! Maron! I saw that!"
"What?"
"That blue-haired guy kissing you!"
"Oh, Chiaki?"
"Yup! I thought you didn't like him! Actually...you hated him!" Fin holds a finger up to her cheek.
"He's pretty ok once you get to know him."
"Sure, Maron!"
"Fiiiinn!" Maron yells, laughing.
The Date:
Miyako and Iinchou are walking down the street, hand in hand. Miyako's eyes are covered by a blindfold.
"Ne, Iinchou..."
"Eh? What is it? Is something wrong?"
"No..demo...where exactly are we going?" Miyako said, giggling at some points.
"That's a surprise, Miyako."
"I hate it when you do things like this!" She started getting agitated.
"Just wait a little more. We're almost there."
Three minutes pass
"Are we there yet?"
"Take two more steps, Miyako."
Miyako steps two more times.
"Good. Now take off you blindfold. We're there!" Iinchou cried out.
Miyako takes it off.
"Wow! It's beautiful! How'd you find this place?"
The restaurant is lit up with lights. The tables are hidden under the shades of different colored umbrellas. The tables are covered with a pure white cloths, with shiny utensils wrapped up in glittering white cloths.
"When I first came here, I looked around the city. I came upon this restaurant and promised myself that I would come here on my first date with my girlfriend."
"Do you mean it?"
"Yes. Miyako, will you be my beloved girlfriend, and maybe wife?"
"Well...ok. I will be your girlfriend." Miyako joked around.
"Y-you w-will?" Iinchou stuttered. He was a bit surprised.
Miyako nods, looking down at her feet.
Iinchou picks her head up, and shakingly kisses her fragile lips.
Miyako kisses him back.
They sit down at a table for two, when a waiter comes up to them and takes their order. After 15 minutes, their food is ready to be eaten. Miyako and Iinchou gulp their food down, while saying how good it tastes.
After dinner, hand in hand, they leave and start walking back to Miyako's apartment.
"Tonight...I had the time of my life!" Miyako commented.
"That's good. I don't want you to be feeling bad." Iinchou replied back.
"I'll never feel bad with you around." Miyako giggles.
"Oh, really?" Iinchou says disbelievingly.
"Yes really." She giggles again.
"Ok." Iinchou shrugs.
They are in front of Miyako's apartment now. Iinchou sees Maron checking her mail box. He remembers the time when he always blushed when she smiles at him. Even when he was near her, he would blush. But now, Miyako was the one for him.
"Hey Maron!" Miyako shouts.
"Miyako? What are you doing here?"
"Just came back from a wonderful date with Iinchou." Miyako says, grabbing Iinchou's arm along the way.
"Aahh!" Iinchou cries, but the two best friends were too busy talking to notice him yelling.
They were talking about what had happened...Maron asking...Miyako answering.
"Umm...Miyako?" Iinchou manages to say.
"What is it?"
"I gotta get going. My parents are probably worried right now. After all, it IS 11:00."
"What?! 11:00?! Oh no! My parents are going to kill me!"
"Well, bye! See you tomorrow!" Iinchou cried as he runs out of the building.
Miyako, too, runs into the elevator, dragging Maron along.
After 5 minutes of havoc, everyone is settled and resting in their beds. That is, except Miyako. She's writing in her diary again.
Dear Diary,
I had a great time with Iinchou tonight. I am now...officially his girlfriend. I finally found someone who cares about me, just like Chiaki and Maron. Maron...whom I've always been jealous of.
'You're pretty, popular, always happy! Unlike me...a detective always chasing Jeanne and Sindbad...'
Tomorrow, I have school, so I'm going to end here.
Miayko slowly closes her diary and gracefully touches the front cover. On it, a message is inscribed.

She smiles and puts it away. As she walks to her bed, she thinks about the events that had happened in her life, ever since she was kid.
'Maron...you were always there to protect me...and now, I'll protect you from other kids calling you Jeanne.'
Miyako slips into her bed with that last thought and falls asleep.

So, how was it? Should I have more dates or more checkmates? Tell me! I need some ideas! Keep checking back for Chapter 13!!!
