The night before, Ryo had flat-out refused to let Rika sleep on the floor. Of course, she had protested. "Ryo, I'm not sleeping in the same bed with you!"

"Well, it's not good for you to be on the floor! Do you want to have a bad back for the rest of your life?"

"Why weren't you so caring five days ago?" she asked.

"I cared then, too! remember? I said 'Why are you sleeping on the floor? Sleep in my bed!' and then you said 'No! I don't trust you not to try something!' Remember?"

"Well, I still don't trust you."

"Rika, you've known me since we were four and five years old. If you don't trust me now, then when?"

She stared at him. "Oh... Alright. But if you touch me in a way that I don't like, you'll be the one on the floor. Got it?"

He nodded. "I dunno what you're so nervous about, but okay."

And so, they had gone to bed together.

----

Four hours later, Ryo was still wide awake. He watched Rika sleep. She's really cute when she sleeps, he thought. Of course, she's cute no matter what she does.

She stirred and turned to face him. They were inches from each other, and she was curled up so that her legs were touching his chest. She opened her eyes for a split second, and did something that he never thought sh would do: She rapped her arms around his neck. He was being held like a human teddy bear.

He tried to move out of the awkward embrace. She mumbled "Mr. Fuzzums..." in her sleep and held him tighter.

He gave up. Rika's going to kill me when she wakes up, he thought, though still thuroughly enjoying the closeness. And, though he never thought he would, Ryo fell asleep.

----

They both woke up at the same time, in the same position as when Ryo went to sleep. "Morning, sunshine," he said.

"Well, what do you know," she said, "it's morning and I haven't been raped. What a shock."

"See? Nothing happened, besides you holding me like a giant stuffed animal."

She seemed to suddenly realize how close they were. She blushed and moved herself a good foot away from him.

"Sorry about that..."

"Actually, it was kind of nice. I had a dream that you were naked, though..."

She lightly kicked him in the stomach. She was smiling as she said "Pervert. I should beat you to a pulp."

"I was just joking. If I did see you naked, I'd probably duck for cover and prepare to be shot at. Not that I've thought about that situation..."

She jumped out of bed. She looked pretty to him even in a pair of pajamas borrowed from him. "I'm hungry," she said, bringing him out of his silent marveling at her.

"Oh, uh... It's a weekday, so a servant'll bring up breakfast. I told all of the servants that you were here, so he'll be bringing it for both of us."

"Okay, but what do we do in the meantime? I mean, what do you usually do in the morning?"

He got up. "Well, first I get dressed, then I do my morning exercises, then I eat my breakfast, and then I usually spend some time practcing martial arts."

"You're into martial arts?"

"Yeah. My servant friend teaches me, he's a second-degree blackbelt. He's really good at it."

"Oh."

"Yeah..."

"You know what?" he said.

"What?"

"Screw my routine. I'll tell all my teachers I have a guest. They'll understand. Or rather, if they don't understand, I'll have them fired."

The door burst open. "Rise and shine, Ryo! It's Monday, time for- Who's this!"

"Oh, God... Kenta, this is Rika. Rika, Kenta."

Rika nodded in Kenta's direction. Kenta's reaction, however, was different. "Ryo, you... You had a girl spend the night here? In your room?"

He nodded. "In fact, she's been here for almost a week now. I'm surprised you haven't noticed."

"What? But do you know how dumb that was? Think, stupid! You slept with a peasant! At eleven years old!"

"Nothing happened! And if you call her a peasant one more time, I swear you'll have no job or limbs. Get out."

This particularly shocked Rika, who had never seen Ryo angry. It shocked Kenta too, though, because they had always been on good terms. He quickly scurried out the door. Ryo smiled. "Sorry about that. I hate those Monday wake-up calls. I'll step out so that you can get dressed."

He went into what seemed to be a room-sized closet and shut the door.

----

After choosing a gray shirt and a pair of jeans, he started to get dressed. He had just unbuttoned his pajama shirt when he heard Rika scream the word "PERVERT!" He rushed out.

There was Rika, shirtless, and there was the servant with breakfast. "Henry!" he yelled. "Gimme breakfast and get out!" he took the tray, and Henry scurried out as fast as he could go.

He put the tray on top of his stereo before, he, too ran out of the room. Wow, he thought, careful what you wish for.

----

Besides the morning hijinks, the day went pretty normally. They walked through the gardens, skipped rocks on some pond they found in the woods, and went hunting for purple-spotted hungidories, which Ryo insisted existed. Ryo even had an excuse to hug Rika when she almost fell onto some very slippery rocks. The day went by perfectly, and had a perfect ending: Ryo and Rika layed on the highest hill that they could find, and watched the sunset.

"Hey Rika, do you know why you're like bunnies?" she seemed offended at first, but then she caught on.

"Why am I like bunnies, Ryo?"

"Because both you and bunnies have cute noses."

He prepared to be hit upside his head, but instead, Rika lay down next to him and put her head on his chest.

"You know," Ryo said, "I kind of feel like a pimp right now..."

For that, she really did smack his head. "You know," she said, "I kind of feel like a bunny." They both laughed.
