The next morning came very soon. Satoshi, as usual was the first to awaken. He got up, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and went into the bathroom to get ready. When he returned from the bathroom, Daisuke was already up and watching Tokyo Disney Channel. He was sitting cross-legged on the bed and staring at the television, eyes black and puffy from lack of sleep. He turned very slowly, out of pure exhaustion, and managed to breathe "Good morning, Satoshi." He then fell backwards, and his head hit the pillow, sending him back to sleep.

"Oh no, you're not, Daisuke!" Satoshi went over to Daisuke and continued to prod him in the side with his finger once more. "We're not doing this again this morning! We're going to a mall today, so we're leaving in fifteen minutes to beat the rush!"

Daisuke, suddenly remembering how long it took for him to get ready in the morning, leaped from his bed and practically crashed through the bathroom door. He jumped into the bathroom, so fast in fact, that he forgot to get his clothes. He walked embarrassedly out of the bathroom, but Satoshi was already a step ahead of him. "Honestly, Daisuke, you're the biggest birdbrain I've ever seen," Satoshi said as he handed Daisuke his clothes.

"Shut up, Satoshi," Daisuke teased and went back into the bathroom, a little more gracefully this time, considering he was more awake. Once inside the bathroom, Daisuke did his morning rituals. He opened the drawer and took out his hair gel. He applied this to his scalp and sculpted it in it's messed up but very common shape. He then splashed cold water on his face and changed his clothes. He skipped several steps because he knew he did not have time to complete them. After fifteen minutes, Daisuke exited the bathroom, ready and prepared to leave.

"See, you can get ready on time, when you set your mind to it." Satoshi handed Daisuke his light blue sweater. "It's very cold outside. You'll probably need this." Satoshi pulled on his own orange and black striped sweater, and the two turned off the lights and left the room. Daisuke and Satoshi entered the elevator at the end of the long hallway, and Satoshi pressed "g" for garage. To both boys' relief, several classmates entered the elevator as they got off, signaling that the group had not left yet. Daisuke smelled breakfast almost as soon as h entered the lobby. The hotel was shabby and very industrial, but at least they had continental breakfast. The school would probably get sued if the children did not have breakfast. Daisuke and Satoshi approached the bar and served themselves each a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice.

After selecting their breakfast items, the two found a vacant table and sat down to eat. Daisuke was just about to consume his first bite of cereal when he felt a poke on his back. He turned around to see the Harada twins, each carrying their breakfasts, as identical as their faces. Each girl had a glass of milk and a banana. "Mind if we join you? All the other tables are full," Riku said politely.

"Of course we don't mind." Daisuke gestured for them to have a seat. Daisuke and Satoshi were sitting next to each other, so Riku took the seat opposite Daisuke, and Risa took the seat opposite Satoshi.

At the very least, the meal was awkward. Riku was Daisuke's ex-girlfriend, and Daisuke's inner-self had a crush on her. Risa had a crush on Daisuke's inner self, but Daisuke's inner self was in love with Satoshi's inner self who returned those feelings. Satoshi and Daisuke were soul mates but neither Riku nor Risa knew that they were gay.

Daisuke was very nervous throughout the meal. Krad, for once, kept his mouth shut. Dark had still not yet awakened. Satoshi, like Daisuke was apprehensive and did not want the secret spilled. Risa could sense the tension between them, and she knew the Tarot cards well enough to know that a secret was being hidden. Riku was completely oblivious to what was going on around her, and munched on her banana unaware of the thoughts and feelings of those that surrounded her.

Daisuke dropped his spoon; Risa spilled her milk and had to get a replacement. Dark finally woke up and took a moment to realize what was happening. Krad rolled his eyes at Dark's laziness. Satoshi leaned to far backwards in his seat and fell out. Riku continued to munch on her banana.

Risa and Riku finished at the exact same time, despite Risa's mishap with the milk. They both got up at the same time. "Well, it was nice having breakfast with you two," Risa said.

"Yes, very nice. We should do it again sometime." Riku said this, and Risa jabbed her in the side with her elbow. Both girls bowed and left Daisuke and Satoshi confused and rather annoyed. They had both finished their breakfasts as well. "Do we leave the bowls, or do we take them up ourselves?" Daisuke asked.

"I think we leave them." Satoshi stood up. "Are you ready to leave? A bunch of the students are beginning to gather in the parking lot."

"Yes. I'm finished. That sure was strange, with Risa and Riku."

"Yes. Very strange, indeed. I hope they don't pick up on our secret."

"What would be so bad about that?"

"Not bad really. I just don't want everyone in school thinking I'm queer.

"Satoshi, you kind of ARE queer." Daisuke giggled.

"Does that mean that you're my boyfriend?"

"It sure does."

"Then I guess I don't mind so much." Satoshi smiled and both boys smiled the entire walk to the parking lot.
