Okay, here's the long awaited fifth chapter! I know, I've been bad, I didn't update for a long time...I've been a busy man. Well, this is what I have to say:

I'm sorry!I'm sorry!I'm sorry!I'm sorry!I'm sorry!

Oh, and a friend said I need a disclaimer, even though I coulda sworn I did one in chapter 1 and said I'm too lazy to do more, but anyways...

Disclaimer:(There, happy?) I don't own the rights to Full Metal Panic! so, all those copyrights go to the right people.


It's the next morning at the campsite. Shinji and Kyoko emerge from the tent that was supposed to be for Kyoko and Kaname. They go to breakfast. Sousuke and Kaname are the last to sit down.

"Where were you last night?" Shinji asks them.

"We fells asleep on the beach," Kaname answers. Sousuke just continues eating his breakfast. Kyoko interrogates her best friend about the night, until she gets questioned.

"Maya said you and Shinji came out of the same tent," she teases the poor girl. Kyoko blushes.

"We had things to talk about," Shinji explains. He, too, is blushing.

"Like what?" it's Sousuke doing the teasing this time! Nobody expected it, so there's that eerie silence of surprise.

"What?" He asks, not knowing what he did wrong. The class starts talking again.

"You got laid, didn't you?"

"Who was it?"

"It was Kaname, wasn't it?"

"Damn, Sagara, you're lucky."

Kaname blushes and gets angry, "Will you all shut up!"

Nobody dares to say a word now. Needless to say, the rest of breakfast is nice and quiet. Sousuke is puzzled, Kaname embarrassed, Kyoko nervous, and Shinji...there is nothing out of the ordinary about him.

It is Shinji's and Maya's turn on dishes. Maya inquires about the truth behind the night.

"We didn't do...that," Shinji says, "We talked all night and only slept in the same tent."

"And the other night?"

"Nothing happened!"

"And the whole thing with Sousuke?"

"He shot me with a rubber bullet in my knee! He made me fall on Kyoko, too. Come on, what would you have done?"

"Probably the same thing," Maya gets an evil look on her face, "Do you want to be with Kyoko?"

"Well..." Shinji thinks for a moment, "I think so. We sure get along well. But I usually have problems when it comes to girls..."

"Really?" There's a high pitched voice behind Shinji.

He turns around, staring Kyoko right in the face! He jumps back, surprised. He hits the table, which shakes and the dish water spills onto the poor guy. He doesn't notice it, but Maya laughs hysterically. Other than that, there is an awkward silence. Shinji and Kyoko only stare into each other's eyes.

Kyoko breaks the silence and looks away. "You know, it looks like you wet your pants." She smiles a little. Shinji looks down at his pants and sighs. "This stuff always happens."

"Luckily, we were almost done," Maya says,done laughing, "Go change, I'll finish up alone."

Kaname is talking with some of her friends, trying to figure out what to do for the day. Sousuke walks up to her and asks her to follow him.

"Why?" Kaname's skeptical, "There is no danger here."

"I'd like to show you something."

"Well, I don't have anything better to do, so...okay."

Sousuke leads her through the woods. They eventually come to a meadow, with a stream running through the middle.

"Oh, wow." Kaname stands in awe.

"You said you enjoyed looking at the sky at night," Sousuke recalls, "Is this a suitable location?"

Kaname smiles and nods. She brings up the night before, worried this new Sousuke might go away. She didn't want to be left with a war-crazy, gung-ho classmate.

"I assure you," he explains, "I may go back to being more...uptight...but that doesn't mean everything will change."

"That's good," she says softly, leaning against him. As they walk back together, Sousuke slips. Kaname falls on top of him, her head not far from his knees, and he gets a good look up here skirt.

"Sousuke, you moron!"

Back in Shinji's tent, he trips trying to get his pants on. Hearing the struggle, Kyoko opens up the tent.

"Gah!" Shinji panics, looking for anything to cover up with. Nothing is around, so he just quick pulls up his pants. Kyoko watches, giggling. She's holding her camera in her hand.

"Kyoko!" Shinji screams, and chases her around the site, trying to get the camera.


I hope I get those next chapters I have written up soon, I only need to type them. Well, maybe in the next few days. I really mean it.
