The day of his entrance exam, Kuwabara went home feeling brain dead. That had been a long test.

"How'd it go?" Shizuru asked.

"Why is getting into a middle school so hard?" Kuwabara complained.

Shizuru smirked. "As you get older, everything gets harder."

Kuwabara scowled. "Then I don't want to grow up!"

"If you don't grow up, you'll have to go to school forever," Shizuru pointed out.

"Growing up sounds good," Kuwabara hastily amended.

Shizuru seemed amused by how quickly he changed his tune. "I thought you'd say that. Now come on."

Kuwabara sat up. "Go? But I just got home!"

Shizuru shrugged. "Fine. If you don't want an ice cream…"

"I'm coming!" Kuwabara cried and followed after her.
