Hideki and Chii looked out at the beautiful, orange red sunset, out of their window

in the old apartment.

As Hideki looked at it, he felt calm and nice, for once. As if he

was on a calm, balmy beach.

"Chii...? Why is Hideki looking happy when seeing sunset?" Chii asked, curiously.

"Well, Chii. The sunset looks nice, and that makes me feel nice." Said Hideki.

"Does that mean if Chii looks at something, that will make Chii happy?" Said Chii.

"That depends on what it is."

"So Hideki is happy when Hideki looks at those magazines with girls?" As Chii picked

up those magazines.

Hideki spurted blood out of his nose all over the floor.

"Aggggh!" He said, as Chii turned the pages.

Chii laughed. iIt's been a while since she laughed, mesmerized at her

smile, and her laughing voice. It's nice to be with her, the special someone I have./i

He always felt happy around her, and joyful, because she was so cute, and fun to

be around with. Even though she was a persocon.. although it was a bit weird falling

in love with a machine. But he never cared about that. He thought of her as a person,

not a machine, or a super computer, but an alive person. An amazing, smart person.

Chii turned the page, and noticed a small picture of two persons kissing.

"Chii..?" Chii looked eager to know what that was, and turned to face Hideki.

"Ah, Chii!You shouldn't be looking at that!" Hideki said, more blood splurting out.

Chii read the words quietly. "Kissing?" Chii said. "Chii wants to try too!" She

said, looking even more cutely in Hideki's point of view. "Ahh..." Chii got closer.

He stared into her eyes, and closed his. He can feel Chii draw even closer..

and than her lips touched his.. NOSE? She started kissing his nose. He brushed Chii

off. "Did Chii do something bad?" Chii asked, looking sad. He was dissapointed at

not getting a real kiss. "Chii- that's my nose, not my mouth!" He said. Chii's

face looked sad. "Well, that was a kiss, you did good." Hideki said. iChii's

face lit up, as the sunrise did when it rised. It was always like this, when

he complimented chii. It's always nice to see her happy./i

"Say, Chii. Do you want to go out to shop for some food?"

Hideki asked her.

Chii nodded happily. He went to reach for wallet in the drawer,

and than inserted his feet into some socks, and than his sneakers. Hideki turned away

as Chii put on her dress, and than inserted her feet into her shoes. He opened the door

and waited for Chii to get out, and than closed the door. As he walked out, Miss Hibiya

was outside, sweeping the floor like always.

"Nice day, isn't it?So where are you going?" Mrs. Hibiya said, smiling.

It was rare for her to smile, and Hideki blushed at it.

"Well, we're going grocery shopping." Hideki replied.

"Have a safe trip than!" She said that as she waved.

Chii and Hideki waved back and departed.
