(Scene: The edge of a coastline. A young boy can be seen running toward a group of his friends.)
"Hey guys! Wait up will you?"
"Hurry up Tetsumi! Why are you always the last one here?"
The boy was finally able to get away from his parents boring lessons. Why were his parents so insistent on making something out of him? No matter, this was what he was waiting for all day.
"Let's go everyone! Last one in has to go talk to those girls!"
"No way!"
This is what life was all about. No more boring lessons or having to fight things that did not really exist. Why could his parents not understand that all that they were trying to make him do was not what he wanted?
"You're the last one Tetsumi! You know the drill!"
"Come on, Heita! Do I really have to go over there and talk to those girls?"
"I said the last one in had to go talk to those girls."
Why did Heita have to make these stupid rules? Who elected him leader anyway? He knows that none of us like girls in the first place. Why did Father have to make me late by making me practice with that old spear?
"Excuse me, can we help you?"
"Eh…. Can I talk to your girls?"
"Why do you want to talk to us? You're a boy."
"Well… Can't a guy come over and some girls and have a nice conversation?"
"I guess there's nothing wrong with it. Come, sit next to me. What's you're name?"
"My name is… Tetsumi, my name is Tetsumi."
"Nice to meet you Tetsumi. My name is Iria. These are my friends…"
He couldn't believe it! Here he was talking to group of girls, all by himself! These girls seemed to enjoy talking to him. He did not know why the other boys were so afraid of talking to girls.
"Are those you're friends over by the beach?"
"What? Oh yeah, those are my friends. Guys come over here for a second!"
He would get back at Heita for making him go talk to girls.
"Guys, this is Iria and here friends."
"Nice to meet you fellows. What took you guys so long to come over here?"
"Uh…"
"They just were afraid approaching such pretty ladies."
Did that just come out of my mouth!
"If that was the case, then there was no need to worry. We would have enjoyed you boy's company."
So it was, a group of boys that no more than ten minutes ago were absolutely against the idea of talking to girls were now going to spend an entire afternoon with a group of them. During this time, their childish perceptions of each other would be dismissed.
