When I opened my eyes about thirty minutes later Momiji was still playing his violin softly. After my nap I actually felt a lot better. It was the best sleep I've gotten in months and it was only for a half an hour. I found that a bit odd, but oh well.

"Oh, you're awake?" Momiji stopped playing and looked over at me as I got myself into a sitting position on his bed with my legs crossed.

"M-mhmmm," I nodded as I stretched my arms into the air to help wake me up a little more.

"Did you have a nice nap?"

"Actually yeah, it was really nice. Probably the nicest sleep I've gotten in months. I feel a lot better now. The head ache I was getting from the heat is gone also."

"That's good." He smiled, "Are you ready to go get ice cream then?"

"Yeah, I just need to get change and we can go." I got off his bed and went into the bathroom with my bag.

When I came back out my hair was back in a pony tail, I was in ripped jeans, a black fitted T-shirt with the Rise Against symbol on it, and some black convers. It was much more comfortable than that stupid uniform, "Ahh, this is much better." I let out a happy sigh.

"Mhm, it suits you much better than the uniform." Momiji smiled, "But you do look cute in the uniform."

"Oh, thanks." I blushed lightly, "Well anyways… Let's go!"

"Ok, then." He grabbed my hand and led me out the door. It was nice outside. The clouds have gotten a little more coverage so it's not quite so hot outside. I was glad. I despise the heat. All it does is make you hot and give you headaches. If it were up to me we would have spring weather all year round, but alas I have no such power.

I let out a content sigh, "Thanks for doing this Momiji. It really means a lot. Especially learning that song, it's my favorite and it always makes me smile when I listen to it."

"It's not problem at all Aki-chan. That's exactly why I learned the song." He blushed lightly.

"Well thank you." I kissed his cheek and his color increased. He was so cute when he blushed. He looked so innocent and nervous. I let out a small laughed and we walked into the ice cream parlor.

It was so cool inside, it was great! It smelled amazing too. When we got in line I looked at the large assortment of flavors and add-ins. I knew what I was going to get, but I always look just incase I see something new I might like to try.

"Are you getting your usual?" Momiji looked down at me with a warm smile. Damn I must be short if Momiji can look down at me; I know he got taller, but still… This just isn't right.

"Mhm, of course," I nodded and went up to the man behind the counter when it was my turn, "A medium French Vanilla in a waffle bowl with nothing else added to it please." I smiled at him.

"Sure thing young lady." He returned my smile and began to scoop my ice cream.

When he had finished and handed me my ice cream Momiji told me to go sit down while he got his. I gladly obliged since I was tired of sanding already. I found a booth by the window that had a view of a nice little park.

When Momiji finally came over he had a chocolate covered waffle bowl with strawberry ice cream in it, "Hey, isn't that that park we went to for your eleventh birthday?" He asked as he sat down.

"Oh yeah, it is… I'm surprised you remembered that."

"How could I forget? That's the same park where I told you about the zodiac and you didn't reject me or anything." He stared out the window with a thoughtful look in his brown eyes.

"Oh yeah… I remember that. I still can't believe you thought I wouldn't believe you. I know you'd never lie to me about something like that Momiji-kun." I smiled at him, "You know, I still have the little stuffed rabbit you gave me."

"Really, I was a dog would have gotten to it by now or something."

"Nope, I mean they've tried, but they've never actually gotten it." I took a spoonful of my ice cream and ate it happily.

"That's good to know." He let out a small laugh, "So why have you been sleeping so horribly Aki-chan?"

"Oh, uhm… it's nothing really, just a stupid repeating dream. I'd really rather not talk about it right now… if you don't mind."

"Oh, of course I don't. This is supposed to be making you happy and forget all the bad stuff. Sorry I brought it up." He smiled.

"Right… Thanks. So have you started that stupid essay for history yet, the one on World War II?"

"No, I'm gonna start tomorrow. Have you?"

"Nope, I plan on procrastinating." I grinned.

"I should have known." He chuckled.

"Yep, I always procrastinate. I'll probably wake up at two the morning the day it's due to finish and print it out."

"I see, at least you're going to get it done though."

"Ah, that's true." I nodded in agreement, "So… When we're done here can we go across to the park?" I asked hopeful.

"Yeah, of course we can." He beamed and for the rest of the time we just sat there in a comfortable silence eating our ice cream.
