Chapter 4

Konoka awoke. It was a grey morning, the kind that just seems to put people into a gloomy mood. Konoka looked around the room. It seemed like Asuna had just woken up. The bed above Konoka looked empty. Soon, Konoka spotted Asuna, watching Negi, who laid in his bed, fast asleep. "Morning, Asuna-san" Konoka said sleepily.

"K-Konoka-san!" Asuna said, surprised. Asuna backed away from Negi's bed quickly. That's strange. Konoka wasn't often awake at this hour.

"You startled me," said Asuna. Konoka just smiled, and got a far off look in her eyes.

"What's got you so happy, Konoka-san?" Asuna asked.

"Huh?" Konoka snapped out of her reverie. "Oh, nothing. Just thinking." Konoka said. In reality, Konoka was remembering the day before, which she had spent with Setsuna.

"Oh, ok. I'm going back to sleep. I'm wiped." Asuna said.

Konoka thought back to yesturday. One of the first things they she did was go clothes shopping with Setsuna.

"Set-chan, let's go shopping!" Konoka had said, and grabbed Setsuna.

"W-Wait! Where are we going?" Setsuna had asked hesitantly.

"Just follow me!" Konoka had answered. Konoka led Setsuna through a plethora of shops and stores. Eventually, Konoka led Setsuna into a shop. Rows and Rows of cute outfits lined the walls.

"What is this place?" Setsuna asked.

"It's one of my favorite places to shop!" Konoka replied. "Here, try this one on!" Konoka had grabbed an outfit from the rack.

"W-Wait a minute..." Setsuna began, but Konoka had shoved her into a changing room. When Setsuna came out, she was dressed in a spectacular outfit.

"Ah, Set-chan, its so cute!" admired Konoka.

"Ojou-sama, please, can we leave now?" Setsuna pleaded, obviously embarrased to be dressed in such a fashion in front of Konoka-san. Unfortunatly, Konoka was just getting started.

"But theres so many more things to try on!" Konoka said eagerly. They spent hours trying on different dresses and outfits. At first, only Konoka was enjoying it. But soon, Setsuna started to have fun. She even began posing a bit, and Konoka and Setsuna started trying to out do each other. Eventually Konoka and Setsuna left the shop smiling, with bags in hand of the clothes they had bought.

"I'm hungry, Set-chan. Let's find somewhere to eat." Konoka complained.

"Agreed," Setsuna said, with a grin. They sat in a resturant, eating their food.

"I'm having so much fun, Set-chan!" Konoka said.

"Me too," Setsuna said. The truth was, Setsuna was having the most fun she had had in a long time. Ever since she had decided to "Defend from the Shadows," she had been spending less and less time for fun and more time training. She looked at Konoka, and stared into the smiling eyes of her childhood friend. She was almost exactly the same as before. Konoka still had that carefree, "put a smile on your face" attitude. If she was smiling, you wanted to smile. If she was sad, you started feeling sad. As Setsuna started to lose herself in thought, Konoka surprised her.

"Whatcha you looking at, Set-chan?" Konoka said cutely. She had noticed Setsuna's stare.

"Ojou-sama! I-I wasn't looking at anything! I was just thinking! That's all!" she replied, startled. Konoka giggled, and finished her desert. For the rest of the day, Konoka and Setsuna did things that they hadn't done in along time. They visited arcades and watched a movie. Konoka had fallen asleep and her head fell on Setsuna's shoulder near the end. Setsuna blushed a deep red, and was thankful that movie theaters were dark. When the movie was over, Konoka brought Setsuna to one last place. They went to a photobooth.

"Come on, Set-chan! I want to get a picture!" Konoka said.

"I'll just...wait here until your done," Setsuna said sheepishly.

"But its no fun by myself!"

"Well, if its only one or two..."

Konoka and Setsuna climbed into the booth and smiled. They took pictures with funny and cliched poses. When the pictures came out, Konoka gasped. "They're perfect! Thanks for coming, Set-chan. It's been so long since we had so much fun together."

"I had fun too. It was a nice break from training." Setsuna replied. Hand in hand, Konoka and Setsuna had headed back to the dorms. When they arrived, they said goodnight and headed for their rooms. Konoka sighed as she remembered that day.

"Konoka-san, what day is it?" Negi interrupted Konoka's thoughts. Apparently, Negi had just woken up. He was still yawning and scratching his eyes.

"I'm not sure, Negi-kun. Why don't you check your watch?" Konoka looked out the window, and saw the sky. "Maybe it'll clear up later, and I can go out and do things," she thought to herself. Confident that it would be a great day, Konoka helped Negi find his watch, and then started her day with a bright smile on her face. "After all," Konoka said to herself, "I don't need the Sun for today day to be sunny."

Just a note, I modded this chapter a bit. If you want the original ending sentence, which my friend said was the best part, here it is.

...and then started her day with a bright smile on her face. After all, you dont need the Sun for your day to be sunny.
