From the Desk of Sphinxy8a

Hey readers. Sorry for not updating, I've been a bit preoccupied watching the live action version of Absolute Boyfriend. This next chapter will seem like I'm taking an idea from the manga, but I'm not, it's the only logical way to go on with the story. This one will be short, so sorry. As always read, review, and enjoy. Really I need you guys to review; I need some ideas for me to keep going on with this story cause I've never actually finished writing one.

Sphinxy8a

Chapter Three part two

A few minutes later Soshi called, "Riiko! Breakfast is ready!"

"Coming," replied Riiko as she took her head out of her hands and got up to go to the kitchen table. About halfway through the meal Soshi finally asked, "So when do they want us to go to the club?"

"They said as soon as possible. So I think that we should go a bit after the club opens tonight."

Seeing the strained look on Riiko's face Soshi asked, "Are you sure you want to do this Riiko? Because if you don't, I figured it out and if we pay so much a month, we'll be done paying in seventy years. I know that sounds like a long time, but we can do it."

All the while as he was saying this he fervently wished that she would disagree and he wasn't let down when she replied; "I'm not all that sure that I do want to do this, but I do know that I don't want to spend the rest of my life paying and anyways I could never ask you to help pay for Night when I was the one who go myself into this mess. I mean I feel bad enough as it is just asking you to do this one thing for me." And then she said as if more to herself than to Soshi, "Night wouldn't want me to pay for him anyway."

"So if we're going to go through with this, then how do they suggest that we get into this club together if its clientele is mostly women?"

"Well they didn't exactly tell me how to go about doing this, and I didn't think about asking," said Riiko sheepishly.

"Great. Now we even have to think up a reason for even being there," said Soshi who had just finished his food and got up to clear the table.

"Wait! Soshi, remember the only reason Night went to work at the club in the first place was to help pay for himself," said Riiko as she got up and placed the salt and pepper back into the cabinet.

"Yeah, but I don't see what that has anything to do wi-…oh no. You don't think that I could… No! I can't…" exclaimed Soshi as it finally dawned on him of what Riiko wanted him to do.

"You have to. That's the only way for either of us to actually get in that kind of club."

"Let's just hypothetically say that I agree to do this, what would be the reason for me working there?"

"I don't know. Ummm hmmmm, Well why don't we just say that you're going to a really nice college and I want to go with you but my grades being the way they are, I couldn't get a scholarship so you're working there to raise money for me to go, but you didn't tell me, and I just barely found out and I went there to make you quit."

"Actually that's not such a bad idea," said Soshi who was clearly blown away by this idea. "Right, then let me just wash these dishes and I'll go over and apply," said Soshi as he tied his blue frilly apron around his waist.

"Um… Soshi?"

"Hmmm," said Soshi as he started washing.

"Well, if you're going to apply at that club then you'll need some cooler clothes," said Riiko who got more excited at the prospect of going shopping.

"What's wrong with my clothes," exclaimed Soshi who was brandishing a spatula.

"Nothing, nothing! I'm just saying that if you're going to get hired there you'll need to dress a little less like you just got out of a math club meeting," said Riiko from behind the plate she had been drying before she used it as a shield.

Soshi looked down at himself and saw indeed that he looked like the leader of the mathletes. "Fine, we'll go out and get some new clothes, then go apply. Are you satisfied?"

"Yep," said Riiko as she resumed drying the plate, while trying to hide a smile.
