*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kouichi's P.O.V.

What am I doing? I'd promised myself not to be with Zoe! What happen! Why?

The night of the party:

Marilyn and Chris' boyfriend were dancing on the dance floor with Zoe's classmates, while Zoe, Chris,and Kouichi are having some drink.

"Too bad Kouji's not here today." Zoe said with a gloomy conviction.

Kouichi's stomach turned. He knew exactly about Zoe's feeling towards Kouji, but despite the sundry confidential thought, he didn't know just what feeling Zoe had had for him.

Zoe immediately sneaked a sideway glance at Kouichi who sat beside her. Then she felt a slight disappointment when she saw him fidgeting with his drinking straw in his orange soda instead of paying attention to her. She looked away from him as if she wanted to hide her disappointment, but then, her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" Zoe answered.

"Hey Zoe! It's me! Kouji!" Kouji said.

"Hi Kouji!" Zoe's voice became happier than before. Purposely to make Kouichi jealous.

Kouichi felt his heart droped. Hearing Zoe calling out Kouji's name was too subtle for him. But he forced himself to hide jis feeling.

"I've got a treasure hunting game for you, but first, you have to find the instruction menu for this game." Kouji insinuated slyly.

"Where to find it?"Zoe asked with confusions.

"You can say it's from a magical sea creature." Kouji said. "Good luck and good bye!"

Then he hung up.

"Hello? Hello?" Zoe repeated, as if she hadn't heard his remark.

Zoe wasn't sure what he's up to right now. But she knew that sh's going to play this game.

"Kevin, do you have any sea creatures in this restaurant?" Zoe asked Kevin who had just walked by.

Kevin racked his head for some memories. "Well, there're some fishes in the kitchen, but they're still alive."

In the kitchen:

Zoe was looking at the fishes that are swimming gracefully in the fish tank.

"The instruction menu is in the sea creature?" Zoe wondered. " Don't tell me that I have cut open their stomach to get it!"

"Hey Zoe, look what I've found!" Marilyn rushed into the kitchen holding up a picture frame with a picture of a mermaid in it. "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Where did you found it?" Zoe inquired.

"Um, in your locker." Marilyn tried to sound as nonchalant as possible.

"Hey! How did you know my locker combo (combination)?" Zoe mustered some indignation.

"Well, got to go!" Marilyn dashed out of the kitchen, but accident;y triped and fell down on to the slippery marble floor.

*Crash* the picture frame shattered into pieces.

"Uh-Oh!" Marilyn gulped as she got up. "Sorry Zoe!"

"No, it's okay." Zoe shook her head. "This picture doesn't even belong to me."

"Well, at least the picture inside it is still in good shape." Marilyn picked up the picture. "Mermaids are definitely the most beautiful sea creature in the world, don't you think?"

Zoe's emerald eyes suddenly lit up.

"Did you judt said, sea creature?" Zoe asked.

Marilyn shrugged. "So?"

Zoe grasped the picture against her chest and gave Marilyn a big hug. "Marilyn, you are a genius!" Zoe exclaimed happily and then she dashed out og the kitchen.

"Huh?" Marilyn wondered.

Meanwhile....

Zoe flipped over the picture and found Kouji's hand written words all over the blank side.

"Congratulation Zoe! You've found the instruction menu. Now all you have to do is to find clues that will lead you to find some pieces of puzzles. The puzzle will tell you where the hidden treasure is. There'll be three clues that you have to find.

Here's the first one:

It's an object, and it has the colour of the bright sun.

I'll tell you the particle theory of this object in point form:

-Its particles are slightly apart from each other -Its particles can slide past each others -Its particles have weak attractive forces -This object has an indefinite shape and volume (depends on the container)

Well, that's it for now! Good luck on finding the clues!"

Zoe placed the picture on the table.

"Ha!" Zoe smirked. "Science happens to be one of my best subject! So he can't trick me! This object must be a liquid. But what kind of liquid do have the colour of the sun?"

"Hey Zoe!" A voice came up from behind Zoe.

She wheeled around and saw Chris, waving frantically to her.

"Chris!" Zoe shouted to the chestnut brown hair girl, and then she walked up to her. "What's up?"

"Hey, nice dress!" Chris said, indicating the gorgeous white cashmere sleeveless turtleneck sweater and black leather skirt that Zoe was wearing.

"Thanks!" Zoe said.

"So, do you want to help me on something?" Chris asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, what?" Zoe replied. "Well, I'm making fruit cocktail drink to enter this contest, but I need someone to test the drink, and help me come up with more ideas. So do you want to help me?" Chris explained.

"Sure, why not!" Zoe agreed since she had nothing to do.

In the kitchen:

Chris was reading out thelist of ingredients they need for the fruit cocktail, while Zoe was checking if they have them.

"Pineapple juice?" Chris read the list out.

"Check." Zoe grabbed a big bottle of Pineapple juice from the refrigerator.

"Lemonade?"

"Check."

"I think we've got everything we needed for the cocktail!" Chris said. "Let's get started!"

Few minutes later...

Chris poured one teaspoon of white crème de cacao, aloe gin, brandy and two teaspoon of cream into the cocktail shaker. Then, she put the lid on and started to shake it, bending all the ingredients together.

"I'll name this drink the Angel's kiss." Chris started to talk.

"How romantic!" Zoe quoted. "Is it for Ellis (Chris's boyfriend)?"

"Well, I guess." Chris blushed, and then she took off the lid and poured the mixture into the cocktail glass cup and handed to Zoe. "Here, try it!"

Zoe took a sip of it.

"Hmmm, it's very good but I think something is missing in the drink." Zoe commended.

"Well then, can you go to the refrigerator and grab me a bottle of orange juice?" Chris pointed to the refrigerator.

When Zoe swung open the refrigerator door, she found three bottles of orange juice with different labels on it.

"Which bottle do you need, there're three bottles!" Zoe shouted to the kitchen counter where Chris was.

"Grab me the one that says Sunlight!" Chris replied. "You know, the one that has a motto that says the colour of the sun."

Suddenly, the sentence stated to play In Zoe's ear over and over again. "The colour of the sun...the colour of the sun...the colour of the sun.."

"That's it!" Zoe exclaimed. "Chris I think I need that bottle, can you get another one?"

"Fine." Chris answered.

Then, Zoe ran up to the sink and twisted the lid of the bottle, and tilted it upside-down, letting the orange juice go into the sink. Unexpectedly, a small little plastic bag came out. Zoe ripped open the bag and found some pieces of the puzzle with a note in it.

"Bingo!" Zoe shrieked, then she unfolded the note and started to read.

"Hey you found it! Now there're two more clues to find.

Here's the second clue:

Find this butterfly, who isn't attracted to flower but to something that is related to birthday."

"Now this is a tricky one!" Zoe murmured.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If you want to find out what that "butterfly" is. Then toon in next time! And I'll reveal Kouji's big surprise! So don't miss it, it'll be sooooo sweet! ( Bye for now!
