"What is that Kururu? Stop that or I will…" Natsumi screamed as she saw the strong light coming out from the gun that Kururu was holding.
Giroro was outside in the backyard, cleaning his weapon as always. Fuyuki went to Nishizawa's house, Keroro was in the secret base doing anything but making invasion plans, and Nastumi was in the kitchen washing dishes. Another quiet afternoon, Giroro assumed.
Suddenly, he heard somebody sobbing, no, not just somebody, it was a child sobbing. Why is there a kid in the Hinata house? Curiosity led Giroro pushed the glass door and entered the Hinata kitchen and found the sobbing child under the dinner table. It was a little girl with pink pigtails, around 4 and 5 years old. When the girl turned around, Natsumi? Giroro was surprised, Why is Natsumi a kid now? It must be Kururu! "Natsumi, it's me, Giroro! Don't worry! I will bring you to Kururu and turn you back to normal." Giroro pulled out his hand to Natsumi, his eyes met with the watery eyes of Natsumi. Natsumi took his hand, Giroro led her her to the secret base, not letting go of Natsumi. This Kururu, I must kill him after he turns Natsumi back to 14 years old.
They entered a room, saw Keroro making gundam model. "Oh Giroro and…Natsumi dono?" Keroro saw his friend holding a little girl's hand, that girl looked like Nastumi. "Keroro! Do you know anything about this?" Giroro yelled. "Gero! You should ask Kururu! But Natsumi dono looks so small and totally not aggressive. Well, seems like Kururu did a good job, I told him to make Natsumi less aggressive and violent, so I can…" "So, you did this…" Giroro used a gun and pointed it at Keroro's head, while still holding Natsumi's hand. "Gero! You should not do this in front of a kid! You will scare Natsumi!" "Natsumi, turn around and cover your eyes." As Natsumi did that, Giroro immediately pulled the trigger. "GERO!"
Not wasting any time, Giroro and Natsumi continue walking to Kururu's room. They walked through the long corridor and Natsumi was scared, This road is an endless road, what if I am lost here? What if I cannot go back? What if monster or ghost jump out? As she thought she grabbed Giroro's hand more tightly, tears started coming out from her eyes. Giroro noticed this and said, "Don't worry Natsumi, it will be alright, I promise." Natsumi looked at him, feeling more safe, and they continue to walk.
When they arrived Kururu's room. 'Away, kukuku' it was a note on the door with an annoying face of the yellow alien. "KURURU!" yelled Giroro angrily. And Natsumi started to cry. I should calm Natsumi down instead of being angry now. But when Kururu comes back, I swear I will destroy him. "Natsumi, do you want to go to the park? Watch tv? Play video games? Oh please stop crying…" Giroro started to panic, he was never good at dealing with kids. Or should I ask Keroro for help, no, he will only make Natsumi cry more… "I am hungry…" said Natsumi. "Hungry? I should get you food. Can you cook? Oh no you can't, you are a kid, a kid can't cook. Then let me give you some sweet potato, follow me."
They went to the backyard, Natsumi was sitting there while Giroro started up the fire. "Can I play in your tent?" "No, it's dangerous inside, I keep my weapons there, you cannot touch that." "Are we having barbeque?" "Umm you can call that barbeque if you want." "Then do you have marshmallow?" "No, I don't like those things" "What? Barbeque without marshmallow? You are really no fun!" sulked Natsumi. "If you want marshmallow so bad, maybe it won't hurt if we go and buy some now…" "Let's go, let's go!" Natsumi grabbed Giroro's hand and dragging him. "Wait, the fire!" As a soldier, he always remember the basic safety.
After cleaning up, Giroro put on his invisible wall and went to the supermarket with the happily jumping Natsumi. "There! Mum always buys that for barbeque!" But Natsumi was too short that she could not reach the marshmallow on the shelf. She looked at Giroro, without saying anything, she climbed on Giroro's back and grabbed the marshmallow. "Wait Natsumi…" When Giroro wanted to remind her to be careful and give her a hand, Natsumi has already got the packet. Natsumi was a good soldier since she was this young.
Finally, they went back home, Giroro started up the fire again and Natsumi has already opened the packet of marshmallow and started eating it. Giroro can't stop her and let her eat while they waited for the sweet potato to fully roasted.
After finish eating a roasted sweet potato, Natsumi put a marshmallow on a stick and put that over the fire. She just sat next to Giroro, looking at the marshmallow, waiting for it to be toasted, and she felt her eyelid become heavier, her hand loosened but not letting the stick fall, she leaned towards Giroro as she fell asleep. "Natsumi?" Giroro felt the red haired little girl's head on his shoulder, fell asleep besides him. He carefully released the marshmallow stick in Natsumi's hand and carried the girl in her arm, not wanting to wake her up. Considering that he may not take Natsumi back to the living room couch without waking her, Giroro decided to put the peacefully sleeping Natsumi in his tent and used his blanket to cover the girl. He closed the tent's zipper as silent as possible and went back to the fireplace. Looking at that toasted marshmallow that Natsumi had been waiting for while she fell asleep, Giroro thought maybe it wouldn't taste nice when Natsumi woke up later. So he picked it up and tasted it. Oh my! This is too sweet! Sweeter than the cake Natsumi made me before! Why would Pekoponian eat this thing! He wanted to scream or yell, but after thinking about the sleeping girl in his tent, he tried hard to calm down and not make any loud noise.
About an hour later, Natsumi woke up in Giroro's tent. Why am I in Giroro's tent… What happened before… She thought as she got out of the tent, it was already sunset, Giroro was sitting near the tent, not facing Natsumi, cleaning his weapon and the fireplace was not yet extinguished. "Giroro, why was I sleeping in your tent… And was I dreaming, or I became small before…" "Natsumi? You turned back to a teenager again!" Giroro was shocked as he turned around, seeing Natsumi in normal stage. I guess the effect of that gun was set to be only last for several hours. Who knows if Kururu made a mistake or what. "So, I really turned into a kid, I was not dreaming… Oh where is my marshmallow?" Natsumi remembered suddenly. "Umm… Sorry, I… ate it…" Giroro blushed. "I thought you don't like sweet stuff." "I really don't, it tastes horrible." "Ok, you ate mine, so you should toast another one for me, right?" Natsumi chuckled. "Yes, I guess." Giroro replied, picking up a marshmallow from the packet.
"Wow, I didn't remember it tasted this sweet before! I used to love this as a kid but seems not anymore!" Natsumi was surprised after taking the first bite of the toasted marshmallow. "That's what I said, it tasted terrible." "I still like sweet potato better, these marshmallows, maybe I will send them to the kids next door later. Giroro, do you have more sweet potato? I am still hungry." Nastumi looked at Giroro, smiled. "As many as you want, Natsumi."
