Sakaki and kaorin were in bed sleeping, maya was at their feet, all three sleeping peacefully together. All this was 2 months after the burial for their friends and other classmates. They have not gotten over the torment of the loss of the girls. "mmmhhh...is it that time already?" sakaki lamented at the alarm clock. She has asked another vet to replace her at the clinic, as she also wanted to have some leave for at least 3 months. They have nearly recovered from the shock, but have not forgotten the fallen friends. Both sakaki and kaorin stayed isolated from the world for two weeks after, the need for food breaking the spell. After that time, they only left for food, or other necessities, but they only opened the door for their friends chiyo and osaka. For all of them, it has been worse than hell for them. The stress of it all have broght them all closer.

"morning sakaki, did you sleep well?" kaorin sleepily said, the tall girl responding to it with a yes and a cuddle, ending with a kiss. They both invited osaka and chiyo around for lunch, so they went out to the store for some food. Deciding on some traditional chinese stirfry, they headed back, opening the door to a starving maya they forgot to feed. Emptying a can of the wildcats food into his bowl, the couple started on their meal for the other two and them. Kaorin was chopping up capsicum while sakaki was browning the meat and they were idly chatting when a question came up. "hey sakaki, what do you think will happen to us all in the future?" "we get married, have a decent sized house, and still be friends with chiyo and osaka. Why?" sakaki responded to her lovers question. "well, i dont know if i can comtinue on without my other friends. I mean, they were important in one way or another." "i get you kaorin, i feel the same too. I miss them." "i miss them too."

Chiyo and osaka were walking to their friends apartment, and suddenly osaka put a question out. "should we say something to our friends about what we are doing?" "yes, cause they will support us, like we have with them." "oh yeah, ah forgot about that!" "well, lets get going!" chiyo concluded the quick chat.

After walking to a brick fenced yard, they went up the concrete path, then travelled up two flights of stairs then walked along the corridor, the walls flaking with paint. After approaching a light blue door with the numbers '65' screwed on as brass attachments with a similarly colored handle and deadbolt, they knocked at the door and waited til it opened. "hello chiyo and osaka, im glad you can make it!" sakaki gleefully stated. they both followed their tall friend in, inviting the smells of their lunch too. "it smells soo good, i hope its as tasty as it smells to be?" commented chiyo. "it will be chiyo, believe me!"kaorin called out from the kitchen.

after the lunch, chiyo and osaka asked the other two to sit down because they wanted to say something.

"sakaki and kaorin, i want to explain the history first, ok?"chiyo asked, the couple nodding. "since the funeral, we have been feeling lonely, and also we didnt want lose each ither. osaka came up to me and asked if i ever wanted to lose her." chiyo finished, with osaka continuing. "and she said no, of course. i said that i loved her like you both love each other. after saying that, she said she did to. then i asked her if we could start dating, and here we are two months later." osaka finished up her speech. sakaki and kaorin grasped this reality, and gave them both a loving hug each, saying they support them also.

after their afternoon shopping trip, which chiyo suggested so that the girls "could forget all their grief", sakaki and kaorin went back home. Coming to their front door, sakaki eyed a white letter poking from underneath the door. Spotting it also, kaorin picked up said letter and saw it was written in elegant letters, those letters spelling out both their names. The lovers walked in, and sat on the couch after taking off their shoes. Looking over the envolope, there was a "M.S." that sakaki recognised, but not remembering it. Kaorin took the opportunity to open the paper cover to the letter inside. After the smaller girl dislodged the flimsy piece of paper, they both read it to themselves in unison:

To dear kaorin and sakaki

to this day, I had hoped that you two didnt get close, but it was inevitable. I would like to give you both my sincerest congratulations to being engaged to one another, and I hope that the wedding and honeymoon you pick is to your satisfaction.

With love,

your mother and mother in law,

mayumi sakaki

they were both shocked, sakakis own mother, the one they thought would not approve of them, actually did. "i have to call her soon." sakaki tearfully whispered to herself, her look reflecting onto kaorin. Both the girls went and ordered for some food to be delivered, the lunch being enough to put them off cooking for the night.

After finishing their cuisine from the couch they have been sitting at, they both got dressed for sleep, sakaki wearing her necoconeco pajamas, kaorin wearing plain bright pink boxers and a white tanktop. Climbing into their cozy bed, they kissed, said goodnight, and cuddled until they were asleep, waiting for the next day to get them.
