This chapter takes place in present Namimori. You the reader are the 15 year old Chouko Nakamura in this chapter.

~ Namimori Shopping District – Golden Week ~

*It's an oddly hot day considering it was spring break. You and Tsuna are walking through the busy shopping district- people are staring at you and Tsuna whispering as they do so*

Guy #1: "Wow, a bishoujo, I didn't know there was anyone like that in Namimori"

Guy #2: "Damn what a chest…"

Guy #1: "How did a guy like him end up with a girl like that…?"

Guy #2: "I'm a lot taller than him; I'd be more suited for a girl like that…"

Guy #1: "What?! She'd look a lot better with me by her side!"

*The two guys start to have a heated argument over who would be more suited for you as you and Tsuna pass them*

You: "Yay! I get to go shopping with Tsuna today!" *You smile happily as you link your arms with Tsuna's arm*

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan let go of me people are getting the wrong idea- there even staring" *Tsuna cheeks go slightly red*

You: "Let them stare- their probably staring at how cute you are~!"

*You start nuzzling Tsuna with the side of your face*

Tsuna: *Embarrassed* "I doubt that… and would you stop doing that"

You: "Damn, what a hot day today" *you start fanning yourself in a attempt to cool down*

Tsuna inner thoughts: She's not even listening…

Tsuna: "If you know it's so hot then stop clinging onto me, I'm starting to sweat… is it really spring time?"

*You let go of Tsuna and walk up to one of the shop windows staring into it as you drool uncontrollably*

You: "Oh…my…god…is that what I think it is…?"

Tsuna: "Huh? What are you staring at?"

*Tsuna walks up beside you and looks into the window curious*

Tsuna: "It's just a cake shop…"

You: "Tsuna-Chan! You should know better!" *you pull Tsuna towards you*

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan what are you-"

You: "Look at that, over there lays the ultimate chocolate cake, moist and fudgy chocolate cake covered in thick chocolate fudge topped with huge flakes of white and dark chocolate… each bite is a taste of heaven its self"

Tsuna: *Tsuna sweat drops* "How do you know these things…?"

You: *hypnotized* "Must…have…cake…"

*You start to head for the entrance of the shop Tsuna grabs onto your arm and starts pulling you away from the shop*

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan we have to get the shopping done, Mum will be waiting for the ingredients to make dinner"

*It's too late, you manage to free yourself of Tsuna's grasp and head for the door*

You: *hypnotized* "Cake…must have it now"

*You enter the shop*

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan wait!"

*Tsuna runs after you*

*You enter the shop, the sweet sickly aroma of delicious freshly baked cake hits you, your mind fills with images of sweet treats and crunchy snacks*

You: *You breathe in deeply* "Cake…" *you lick your lips hungrily*

Tsuna: "There's no time to be eating cake, if we stay here we won't be able to get everything on the list in time"

You: "That can wait- I see chocolate cake with my name written all over it…"

*You start walking to the till when you bump into someone*

Haru: "Ouch, oh excuse me so sorry…"

You: "Oh no excuse me, I should have been watching where I was going"

*Haru spots Tsuna behind you*

Haru: "Tsuna-San~! What are you doing here?"

Tsuna: "H-Haru?"

Kyoko: "Tsuna-Kun"

Tsuna: "K-Kyoko-Chan?" *Tsuna face goes red*

*The two girls notice Tsuna holding onto you (well trying to restrain you) and stare at you*

Haru: "Tsuna-san who is this girl? *She goes pale* "Hahi! Don't tell me she's your g-g-g-girlfriend?!"

Tsuna: *embarrassed* "W-what?! No she's my cousin"

Haru: "Hahi?! Tsuna-san's cousin?" *Haru looks back and forth at Tsuna and you* *mutters to herself* "She doesn't even look like Tsuna-san…an imposer maybe…?"

Kyoko: "Oh Tsuna's cousin, Hajimemashite, I'm Tsuna's classmate from school, my name's Sasagawa Kyoko"

Haru: *snaps out of her little rant* "Hajimemashite, My name's Miura Haru"

You: "Hajimemashite, Kyoko-san, Haru-San, I'm Chouko Nakamura" *you smile sweetly*

Tsuna: "Haru, Kyoko-Chan w-what are you doing here?"

Haru: *excited* "Today there doing a special sale on that Chocolate cake, we've wanted to try that one for a while!"

Kyoko: *excited* "So today we decided to come and try it as well as celebrate!"

Tsuna: "Celebrate?"

Haru/Kyoko: *excited* "Haru/Kyoko appreciation day!"

*They both start giggling with one another*

*Tsuna sweat drops*

Haru: "What are you doing here anyway Tsuna-san?"

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan just walked straight into here so I followed her in- were actually supposed to be doing the grocery shopping so we've got to go" *looks around the room* "Where did she go?"

Kyoko: "She's over there" *Kyoko points her finger in your direction*

You: *to shopkeeper* "Shopkeeper how much is that one over there? I really want that one" *you point at the chocolate cake sitting with all its brilliance on the window seal*

Shopkeeper: "A slice costs ¥250"

You: "A slice? I don't want a slice- I'm talking about the whole thing"

Shopkeeper:"Oh I see you; do you want it for a celebration perhaps?"

You: "Huh, celebration? It's not for a celebration- I plan on eating it all"

Shopkeeper: *The shopkeeper laughs* "You're a funny one"

You: *serious* "I'm not joking… I'm really going to eat the whole thing"

Shopkeeper: "…"

Tsuna: "Chouko-Chan what are you doing, we need to leave-"

You: "In a minute~ I just want to buy this" *to shopkeeper* "How much is it?"

Shopkeeper: *sweat drops* "Ummm…That'll be ¥2000 please…"

*You look into your purse and a small moth flies out of it*

*Tsuna and you sweat drops*

Your inner thoughts: Damn I spent all my money on those ice-creams I bought yesterday when I went out with Obasan and the kids…

Tsuna: "How do you plan on paying for it with no money?"

You: "Tsuna-Chan you know how much I love and care for you~ could you borrow me-"

Tsuna: "No"

You: "Tsuna-Chan~ don't be like that"

Tsuna: "Sorry but I'm broke"

Haru: "Ummm… Nakamura-San they give free samples here, I'm sure if you ask they'll give you a free sample of the chocolate cake"

You: *Your ears perk up* "Free sample…?"

Kyoko: "And the cakes taste really good as well, l personally like their Chocolate Soufflé!"

You: "Really, then I'll try that then" *To shop keeper* "One sample of Chocolate Soufflé and the Chocolate cake please!"

Shopkeeper: "One sample of chocolate soufflé and chocolate cake coming up!" *He hands you the sample of cakes*

*You happily eat the cake in one bite and swallow it*

You: *excited* "Not bad- I'll like to try that lemon cake one and that angel cake, oh that strawberry tart looks nice, ah you have caramel doughnuts- I'll have a sample of that too, oh is that double chocolate cookies- I'll like that one too" *you smile sweetly*

*The shopkeeper runs around slicing and cutting, picking and putting treats onto a plate*

Shopkeeper: "Could you slow down- I can't keep up with your requests"

Haru: "Won't you get fat if you eat that much cake?"

You: "No matter how much I eat I don't gain weight"

*You start eating the platter of free samples*

Kyoko: *shocked* "Really? Not even a little bit?"

You: "Not even one ounce"

Haru: *shocked* "Hahi! Is that even humanly possible?!"

You: "It is if you're me- ah it's finished!" *To shopkeeper* "Shopkeeper can I have a sample of that oatmeal cookie, bread pudding, pumpkin pie, banana pudding, fruit cake and strawberry shortcake!"

*The shopkeeper rushes up and down getting and putting cakes and treats together*

Haru: "Ah she's eating all the free samples! Tsuna-San please stop your cousin"

Tsuna: "If I try to stop her, I might get eaten as well…"

Kyoko: "Your cousin can eat a lot, she must have been hungry!"

Tsuna: "Actually she eats like this all the time…"

Haru: "Ah and she's eaten most of the cakes- at this rate the shop will run out of cakes!"

Kyoko: "Oh no, if that happens then Haru/Kyoko appreciation day will be ruined!"

*They both rush up to the shopkeeper*

Haru: "I would like that Lemon cake please!"

Kyoko: "I would like a chocolate éclair, please"

Shopkeeper: *exhausted and annoyed* "Here, take the cakes and get out! How can one human being eat so much! That's it, all of you out!"

*The shopkeeper shoos you out of the shop alongside Kyoko, Haru and Tsuna*

You: "I didn't even finish eating yet!" *Your belly rumbles* "I'm still so hungry…"

Tsuna: "Is there a tapeworm in your stomach…?"

Haru: "I can't believe we got kicked out of the shop so soon, I only got to eat one cake…"

Kyoko: "But on the other hand it was more fun today!" *To Tsuna* "Your cousin is an interesting person- I've never seen someone eat so many cakes in one go before"

Tsuna: "Really?"

You: "Whatever at least I got to eat that little amount…" *You grab onto Tsuna's arm* "Tsuna-Chan come on let's go shopping now~"

Shopkeeper: "Wait right there!"

*The shopkeeper comes out of the shop angry*

Shopkeeper: "You eat the chocolate cake on the display! Pay for it!"

You: "Damn he found out…"

Tsuna: "You ate that chocolate cake? When did you do eat it?!"

You: "No time to explain!"

*You grab Tsuna's hand and start running*

Haru: "Ah! Where are you taking Tsuna-San to?!"

You: "Shopping! Bye bye! See you later!"

Kyoko: "Goodbye, Tsuna-Kun, Nakamura-San!"

Shopkeeper: "Hey! Wait! Pay for the cake!"

*The shopkeeper runs after you and Tsuna*

Tsuna: "W-wait Chouko-Chan! Why are we running?!"

You: "Because I'm broke- wasn't that obvious?"

Tsuna: *worried* "What kind of human manages to eat a huge cake like that and not get noticed?"

You: "More running, less talking!"

Shopkeeper: "You thieves! Pay for eating all my cakes!"

Tsuna: "Hiii! He's catching up"

You: *to shopkeeper* "You said they were free samples!"

Shopkeeper: "Only the ones I gave you were free samples!"

You: "So that didn't include the big cake?"

Shopkeeper: *angry* "What do you think?!"

Tsuna: "Hiii! Chouko-Chan look out!"

You: "Huh?"

*You and Tsuna go crash bang into a police officer*

You: "Ouch!"

Tsuna: "Ow~!"

Police Officer: "What the-?"

Shopkeeper: "Police officers there're thieves!"

*The police officer handcuffs you and Tsuna*

Tsuna: "W-w-wait! I'll pay for the cake, so don't arrest us!"

Police Officer: "Should have thought about that before committing the crime!"

*You use the puppy dog eyes trick on the police officer*

You: "Police officer! Please don't arrest me and my cousin! I'm really sorry~ I'll never do it again~!"

Police Officer: *embarrassed* "Fine" *The police officer takes the hand cuffs off of you* "I-I'll l-let you off with a warning this time"

You: *Happy* "Yay! Tsuna-Chan~ did you hear that~!

Shopkeeper: "What about the cake! They didn't pay for the cake!"

Tsuna: "I'm sorry for my cousin behaviour, here" *Tsuna hands the shopkeeper money for the cake* "Chouko-Chan you apologise too"

You: "Sorry for eating the cake on display- I'll try not to do it again"

Tsuna: "Don't do it again!"

Shopkeeper: *the shopkeeper counts the money* "Thank you, as long as you know you did something bad"

Police Officer: "Well now that's sorted, behave and stay out of trouble, otherwise you won't be let off so easily next time!"

*The shopkeeper and police officer leave*

You: "Well now that's sorted let's go shopping!"

Tsuna: "With what money?!"

You: "…then let's go home, it'll work out somehow…!"

Tsuna: "There she goes with her carefree attitude…"

~ Sawada Household – Kitchen ~

Tsuna: "And that's why we couldn't get any shopping done"

You: "I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I'm so, so sorry!"

Nana: "Chouko-Chan that's all right- it's a good thing I went out earlier to get some tinned food"

Tsuna: "Ehhh? So you already did some shopping?!"

Nana: "Well I had a feeling that something like this would happen- so I prepared myself for the worse"

Tsuna: "So what was the point of us going shopping?!"

You: "Ah! Obasan were you testing me?!

Nana: "Oh my, I was caught out, it was all Reborn's idea" *Nana places a hand on her face innocently*

Tsuna: "Reborn!"

Reborn: "I was testing a hypothesis of mine"

Tsuna: "Hypothesis? What hypothesis?"

Reborn: "To see how tolerate you are"

Tsuna: "T-tolerate? Because of your hypo-thing, I was forced to go to a cake shop, embarrassed myself in front of Haru and Kyoko and spent the entire evening running away from an angry shopkeeper and nearly got arrested…!"

Reborn: "Don't complain and be a man about it" *Reborn kicks Tsuna in the face*

You: "Reborn is a sly person!" *You giggle*

Tsuna: "Ouch! Now my face hurts…" *Tsuna's eyes tear up*

You: "Tsuna-Chan come on cheer up now! Today was a lot of fun!"

Tsuna: *annoyed* "What part of this was fun?!"

You: "Everything!" *You start giggling. Your stomach starts grumbling*

Tsuna: "What was that?"

You: *embarrassed* "M-my stomach- I guess all that running digested the food…"

Tsuna inner thoughts: Is she really a human being…

Reborn: "Who knows?"

Tsuna: "Reborn how did you-"

Reborn: "I told you I can read minds"

You: "Ah Reborn you can read minds! What am I thinking now?!"

Reborn: "Your thinking about what you'll eat for dinner today and what you're going to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner tomorrow"

You: "Bin-go~! Reborn that's such a cool trick!"

Tsuna: "Even I could have told you that!"

You: "Tsuna-Chan can read minds as well?"

*Tsuna sweats drops*

Tsuna: "…Talking to you is so exhausting…"

Nana: "Dinners' ready~"

Lambo: "Yay~! Lambo is going to eat lots today~"

You: "I bet I'm going to eat more!"

Tsuna: "Where does she put it all…?"

Reborn: "That's one of the mysteries of this world that we'll never be able to find out"
