"Please, Dark, don't change recklessly in school." Daisuke begged his other half on the way to school
"Sure thing, I'll just do it when it's important." Dark grinned.
"When it's most important..." Daisuke said. "That's what I'm worried about!"
"Same as ever." Satoshi smiled. "You two seem to be having fun, as usual."

"Dark hasn't shown up recently, and my life is so boring these days." Kuri said to her sister.
"I know what you mean." Reiko said. "I hope some big incident happens."
"Oh, Niwa, hold on a second." Kuri said.
"Miss Hikawa, what is it?" Daisuke said.
"Well, I'd like to ask you to let me copy your world history class notes from the other day." Kuri smiled. "It's my worst subject."
"That's no problem." Daisuke said.

Kuri and Reiko were running through the sprinklers getting rinsed off for Pool Time.
"Stop screaming and keep moving quickly." Reiko said.
"But..." Kuri said.

"Okay, everyone, out of the pool for now." Ms Mayuko said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Students said.
"I wonder where Miss Hikawa is?" Daisuke said. "I should get out of the pool as far away from her as possible."
Just then he ran into her.
"Oh, man. That's too much!" Daisuke thought.
"So why not just switch to me?" Dark said. "It'd be easier for you, wouldn't it?
"No!" Daisuke replied.
"Niwa!" Reiko said.
"Oh, Miss Harada's older sister." Daisuke said.
"What's wrong, Niwa?" Reiko said. "Are you feeling sick? Do you want to go to the nurse's office?"
"No, that's okay. Don't worry about me!" Daisuke said
"Hey, hey, over there!" Mrs Mayuko said. "Come on out right away and line up!"
"What are you doing, Niwa?!" Reiko said. "We're a pair, aren't we?"
"Oh, Miss Harada's older sister, right?" Daisuke said.
"I don't like the way you said that." Reiko said. "Well, I know you can't help it, but..."
Even though they're twins, they're very different from each other. Although their faces are exactly the same. Daisuke thought
"What is it?" Reiko said.
"Oh, nothing. Sorry." Daisuke said.
"Now, you'll check your partner's form and time." Mrs Mayuko said. "Okay?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Students said.
"Then, first in line, get ready!" Mrs Mayuko said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Students said.
"Ready! Set! Go!" Mrs Mayuko said.
Reiko leaned over and a gem dropped from her neck into the water. "My hoshi!"
She went to jump in, but Daisuke jumped in first.
"No don't!" Reiko said. It'll paralyze him!
"Out of the way!" Satoshi leapt in the water.
"Hiwatari!" Takeshi said.
Satoshi pulled Daisuke out of the water.
"Niwa!" Reiko said.
"Is he all right?" Mrs Mayuko said.
"He was drowning." Satoshi said.
"Niwa..." Reiko said.
"There's no way. He knows how to swim!" Takeshi protested.
"I'll perform CPR on him." Satoshi said.
"Let me do it! It's my fault!" Reiko said.
"There's no time to waste!" Satoshi said. "Besides, I've got a license. You don't."
Satoshi then proceeded to preform CPR on Daisuke. Everyone, especially the girls, watched as the two locked lips.
"Are you awake?" Satoshi said.
"I was drowning..." Daisuke said.
"Are you ok?" Reiko said.
"Miss Hikawa's older sister..." Daisuke said, handing her her hoshi. "This is yours."
"Thank you." Reiko said, cherishing it.
"You got 100% for CPR, Hiwatari." Mrs Mayuko said.
"It was nothing." Satoshi said.
"CPR?" Daisuke thought incredulously. "Hiwatari? On me? No way! They were all watching! I can't believe it!"
All the girls giggled, especially the ones from Satoshi's fan club.
"Niwa, are you okay?" Kuri said.
"Miss Hikawa was watching too, wasn't she?" Daisuke realized. "This sucks!"
Daisuke headed to the classroom to get his books. He hadn't been told that the girls were changing in there. He opened the door...and transformed into Dark.
"All right, now it's time for me to have some fun." Dark said.
"What are you going to do, Dark?!" Daisuke said.
"Hey." Dark stopped Kuri as she was leaving.
"Dark? You idiot why are you in school!" Kuri snapped.
"Stop it, Dark! It's not fair!" Daisuke said furiously.
"Wanna go on a date?" Dark said.
"Right now?" Kuri said. "You sure are bold."
"You were on your way home, right?" Dark said. "What do you want to do? If you don't want to, I'll ask someone else."
"No you won't. Jerk." Kuri said. "I'm coming."
"Miss Hikawa! No! No! Never! I said no!" Daisuke protested.
Dark flew them off to Azumano square.
"Hey, Dark..." Kuri stopped and covered her mouth. "I shouldn't have said your name."
"It doesn't really matter to me." Dark said.
"Hey, did you know?" Kuri said. "This tree becomes a big Christmas tree every year. The whole area is lit up as well. It's beautiful."
"I knew that." Dark said. "I came here when this was made a Christmas tree for the first time."
"When was that?" Kuri said. "Who did you come with, that time?"
Dark looked at her. "You really don't remember?"
"Hey, is it true that you'll kiss anyone?" Kuri said, keeping her innocent act up.
"Yeah, because it's like a greeting." Dark said.
"Won't you kiss me?" Kuri said.
"If you say you don't mind, shall we give it a try?" Dark said.
Dark leaned in and kissed Kuri. Daisuke felt himself being left behind as Dark really and truly loved Kuri.
