Author's Notes: I don't own Super Gals!
"So basically Alexis admires you", Ran began as she, Miyu and Aya we're taking a walk in Shibuya that Sunday afternoon.
"Uh-huh", Aya replied.
"And she doesn't have a crush on you", Miyu added.
"Yup!"
"Rei sure is weird when he said he was your boyfriend", Ran said.
"It was just a joke gals", Aya told them.
"I wished it was true. The old Aya really wants Rei to be her boyfriend", Miyu teased. Aya felt her cheeks turned red.
"She's dead okay? She doesn't have feelings for Rei anymore. Besides that was the past", Aya replied, defending herself.
"Tell us Aya...you don't really hate love do you?" Ran asked. Aya shook her head.
"No. It's just that I have to concentrate on my studies for a while. Maybe I can admire a certain somebody that's all", she replied.
"And fall in love with that person?" Miyu asked. Aya shook her head.
"Just admire...just admire".
"Aya could you help me with the cd's?" Rei favored, carrying a box full of cd's.
"Coming!" Aya replied as the two put the box on top of the table. "Boy when some cd's will be sold out another pile is coming".
"Yeah", Rei said. "Aya I want to have a bet with you".
"E-Eh?"
"Let's say if you fall in love again I want the old Aya back".
"And what if she can't fall in love?" Aya asked.
"Then you'll remain like that", he replied.
"Why does it concern you to have the old Aya back? Tell me why", she asked. He didn't meet her gaze when he replied.
"That's because...she a part of us...a part of me", he said the last words in a whisper but she still heard it. "Excuse me I'll go get the other cd's", he said and went to the stockroom. He cursed himself many times why he said that. In the first place he never really showed affection to her or cared. He went out of the stockroom carrying the cd's he needed and as he looked at her he saw her smiling.
"I accept the bet", was all Aya could say as she left him and go to work. He didn't realize a smile was forming on his lips.
"You made a bet? But Aya you said you'll concentrate on your studies!" Ran exclaimed that next morning and almost all of their classmates we're looking at her. Aya didn't mind their gazes though for she doesn't really care. As long as they MIND their own business.
"Ran IF I do fall in love", Aya corrected.
"Oh sorry", Ran apologized.
"Ran it seems like you're deaf already", Miyu kidded.
"Miyu!" Ran exclaimed angrily while Miyu gave a slight laugh and Aya roll her eyes.
'Nice bet Rei. Let's just see who wins. But it's so weird you want the old Aya back. I thought you hate her', Aya thought looking outside of the classroom as cherry blossom petals rain outside.
Aya was walking from work that time until she saw a familiar face in the cold dark street. The man faced her and she was shocked to see Kasuki is back. "Kasuki!" Aya called as she went to him. Kasuki smiled. "Since when you are back?"
"Start of classes Aya. You see I was really busy since I'm in fourth year high school that's why I forgot to tell you. Sorry", Kasuki replied as Aya shook her head.
"Hey it's nothing. I'll see you tomorrow coz' I'm tired from work", Aya said.
"Where Rei works", Kasuki added. She blushed.
"Stop teasing. See you tomorrow Kasuki!"
"Bye Aya!"
That morning Aya rushed to her classroom to tell Ran and Miyu that Kasuki was back. "Gals I have something to tell you!" Aya exclaimed, breathless as Ran and Miyu sweat dropped.
"Calm down Aya", Miyu said.
"She's right relax for a while before you tell us the good or bad news", Ran added. Aya took a deep breath and finally told them.
"Kasuki is back and he's studying here". Ran and Miyu blinked their eyes to hear the news.
"That's great!" the two said in unison. Aya nods her head.
"I'm going to his classroom this lunch time", Aya said with a smile.
"Aya that was the person who loves you", Miyu began.
"I know", she replied as she ran her fingers to her dark blue hair and sighed desperately. "But that's the past and I should forget it". Ran and Miyu also sighed.
Ran and Miyu went to see Aya on the fourth floor. They we're REALLY spying at her. Aya and Kasuki we're talking in the aisle. Ran and Miyu noticed that she was still happy in Kasuki's companionship. Not to mention last year. Aya is so depressed on what's happening between her and Rei. But now she finally let go. Or did she? "At least Aya's happy", Miyu began as the two went back to their classroom.
"Or is she happy? We know Rei doesn't really showed affection to her...even to us sometimes. It's like she can't really find her soul mate", Ran said on a sad tone. Miyu tapped her shoulder.
"Don't worry Ran. Love always waits you know? She'll find her soul mate someday", Miyu said, cheering her up. Ran nods and forced herself to smile. And she was hoping that the old Aya is back too. Because it feels different whenever their with the new Aya.
"Tell me Aya do you still love Rei?" Kasuki asked. Aya blinked her eyes, shocked.
"Do we have to discuss this again?" Aya said as she rolls her eyes. She sighed.
"You may fully change yourself Aya but sometimes feelings don't. Now tell me the truth do you still love him?" Kasuki asked again.
"I...don't know", Aya replied, her words stammering. She doesn't really know if she loves Rei or not. She doesn't know at all. Or is she just dense to realize it? He sighed.
"You know what? True that I did fall in love with you and I didn't think twice. But how come you're the one who is confused?" Aya shrugged.
"Maybe...I have a lot of things in my mind", she replied. 'I never want to look at the past. Never again my tears will fall for nothing. I promised that to myself that's why I changed'.
Aya went to the cd shop, face crestfallen. Rei noticed that. "What's wrong?" Rei asked. Aya sighed as she lean on the counter.
"Nothing", Aya replied.
"If you don't have a problem you shouldn't feel down. So what does it mean that you feel down...happy?" Rei said. Aya gave a wry smile.
"It's just that...why do people think I'm still in love with you? I mean I've let go of the past so why do they think about it? Even Kasuki suspects it", Aya said. She wanted to exclaim the words out but she was too tired to do it. She'll lose some of her energy.
"Kasuki?" he wandered.
"He studies in our school coz' he has returned. That's why I thought all of this suddenly", she replied.
"Tell me Aya", he said looking in her eyes seriously as she looked at him. "Do you still have feelings for me?" she was taken aback by the question and she didn't expect Rei will asked her himself. As what people say 'You'll never know unless you try'. She could feel her cheeks turned red as she averted her eyes on him.
"I-I don't know Rei", she replied, stammering.
"I understand. I-I just wanted to know", he said. He wanted to know what she felt for him? That's weird.
"You don't have to know...if you don't want to", she said coldly.
"But I want to", he remarked. And that shocked her.
The gang will meet that Friday afternoon in their favorite place. Even Rei was there. He asked permission to their boss they'll go out for a while including Aya. Their boss agreed. But still Aya couldn't be found. "I wonder where she is", said Ran, tapping her right foot impatiently.
"Don't worry Ran she'll come", Tatsukichi said. They're going out on a picnic actually.
"Hey isn't that Aya?" Miyu said as the gang was looking at her.
"Hey that's her all right!" Yuuya said. Aya hurried up as she went to them, breathless.
"S-Sorry guys I'm late. I f-forgot my long brown coat so I went back to my house", Aya explained.
"We understand Aya. Now come on I'm so excited to go to the park and have some fun!" Miyu exclaimed. Everyone feels the same as they excitedly went to the park.
Aya was sitting under the cherry blossom tree, a can of soda in her hand. She doesn't want to go to the group...she wants to be a loner for a while. 'Maybe I don't have feelings for him...but I admire him', Aya thought looking at Rei with the gang. Rei looked at her suddenly and she averted her eyes, cheeks flushed. Rei excused himself as he went to Aya.
"Mind if I join you?" Rei asked. Aya looked at him with a wry smile.
"Sure", Aya replied as Rei sat next to her. She sipped again her soda.
"Don't be a loner you know", he began.
"I'm not", she said. "Rei", Rei paused and looked at her and she also did the same. "Well I just wanna say you win our bet. I admire you still. There's a little bit of Aya inside of me...but don't worry I don't have feelings for you...I just admire you", she said honestly. Rei began to laugh. "Hey what's so funny?!"
"Nothing. You're serious", Rei chuckled. "And I'm happy I won the bet".
"Whatever", she said flatly, gulping down the remaining drink.
"At least you told me", he added in a soft whisper.
"Yeah at least I told you".

Aya was walking from work that time until she saw a familiar face in the cold dark street. The man faced her and she was shocked to see Kasuki is back. "Kasuki!" Aya called as she went to him. Kasuki smiled. "Since when you are back?"
"Start of classes Aya. You see I was really busy since I'm in fourth year high school that's why I forgot to tell you. Sorry", Kasuki replied as Aya shook her head.
