Person with helmet: I'll be needing this –rides off on P-kun-

Luna: HEY! BRING THAT BACK!

~*~*~

That's when I hear it. The roar of a moped's motor. I almost drop the package in surprise. This has to be a dream. I race to the window, getting the first glimpse of the rider. Even though it has to be about half a block away, I can still make out the golden color in the noon-day sun.

As the scooter reaches our house, it stops. I feel my heart miss a beat as I stand there stuck at my windowsill. The rider looks up from the road and onto my window, meeting my eyes. She smiles and waves.

I race from my window pane and onto the stares. My heart thumps hard as I nearly tripping on the descent.

"Noata-san?" my father calls, sipping a beer at the table. "Who is that at the door?" I blow him off and reach for the doorknob. My hand is sweaty and doesn't make much traction with the cold metal. I move the sleeve of my hoodie over it and grip the knob with the cloth over it. Luckily it opens.

Outside the rider still waits, staring off into my dark window. She jumps when the door shuts behind me. Turning slightly, meeting my eyes, she smiles again and reaches to remove her helmet.

"Hey Naota," Ninamori chirps, helmet in hand. I feel my heart hit it's self over the head with a bat. "Having a nice summer?" I nod and sit on the railing. "What's wrong?"

"Where did you get that?" I ask, meeting her question with another. She looks down at the scooter and shrugs. I move my gaze to the link in my hand.

"I went down to the river for a soda and found it by the bank, helmet and all." (A/n: Liar!! SHE STOLE IT FROM ME!) She replies. "I'm sorry Naota." I look up at her; I don't think I've EVER heard Ninamori, X-Mayor's daughter, say SHE was sorry. Well, not in person. "They hurt you really bad and I haven't helped, have I?" she pulls a purple strand behind her ear before continuing. I blink. Why is she saying this? "That Haruko person was really strange, but I know you liked her, and that other girl all the kids called your wife was a good friend too. I should have said this five years ago but I didn't, now I am." I stare at her in shock. Why the hell is she telling me this NOW? "They were so lucky, and they both threw it away. A chance to be with you…"

"Where did you get P-kun?" I ask, cutting her off. She stares at me shocked.

"I was just pouring my heart out to you THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" she screams, moving from the Vespa to me. "I told you I found it by the River." She crosses her arms and turns away.

"Come with me."

She looks at me, confusion in her eyes.

"You heard me." I say simply, grabbing her arm and pulling her to the scooter. "You said that they were lucky right?" She nods, frozen in her place. "Then let's get out of here, you and me." She smiles, moving to the moped.

"Meet me by the river in an hour." She replies, helmet in place. "I'll bring you a helmet." She then speeds off, leaving me wondering.

"What the hell did I just do?"

~*~

We left Mabase about two hours ago. Ninamori is asleep on my back as we clear the county side. I have no clue where we are going.

While I was waiting for the hour to pass, I went to the jewelers down the block and got the link set on a neck-strap. Ninamori snickered when I walked up to her on the bank, chain around my neck. She said I looked like a Goth. I took one look at her outfit and said the same.

Her ear-long, purple hair sat under a deep black helmet. The hoodie she wore had a skull and rose design, on a black backdrop. The pants she chose were the darkest red I've ever seen. Thank God for school uniforms.

Instead of goggles, she sat her glasses on her nose. Handing the goggles and helmet to me, we jumped onto the yellow Vespa and left Mabase to dust.

As we passed the bridge, I stopped. Ninamori asked me why and I pointed to a child by the river. She smiled.

A 7 or 8 year old child sat beside the bank. She kicked her sandals into the river and then waded out to retrieve them, sucker in hand. Her pinkish hair dripped as she ploped back onto the grass, a goofy smile on her face.

"Another Mamimi…"

LilHaruko: I didn't know you were a NaotaxNinamori fan

Luna: I'm not

T9: why then?

Luna: ALL in good time. Also, about the hoodie in summer thing, I don't REALLY know where in Japan they are, but if Mabase is in the northern half, they would where those all year long. Just to fill you in

T9: PLEASE REVIEW!

LilHaruko: BYE! :D

Luna: ; 3

T9: ^ . ^
