Lillian could of swore her and Mikhail's "date" was a complete dream! However, she soon realized it wasn't anything near. She was already awake, with Mikhail's jacket still around her shoulders. "It wasn't a dream! I feel like a complete creeper, I never took off his jacket.." She took it off and hung it on the back of one of her dining chairs. She walked over to her front door and opened it, noticing that everything was covered in rain water, the sky was a dark grey. She closed the door and walked over to her radio and flipped it on.

"Today will be rainy in the morning, and start to clear up in the afternoon."

"Great. I hate rainy days." Lillian sat back on her bed and pouted. After a few moments, she decided to slip on her rainy day outfit, including her rain coat, rain boots and her umbrella to accessorize. She opened the front door and walked out, making sure to lock up. She walked down the muddy path, straight to Kana's house. She knocked on the door, and waited a moment, until Kana opened the door and gestured her inside.

"Long time no see, Lil!"

"It's only been a day, silly. So, what are you up to, today?"

"Ah, gotta work. I need to make money!"

"Yeah, that's understandable. I can't do anything with my plants yet, the rain is taking care of the watering for me. So I guess it's going to be a lazy day."

"Guess so. Say, how did you enjoy the music festival?"

"It was wonderful! Mikhail knows how to make beautiful music!"

"Yeah, he does." Kana tried not to show his jealousy to Lillian. "So, I heard you and him got to hang out."

"Yeah, it was a lot of fun! I think I'm starting to like him.. more than a friend."

Kana stayed quiet. He felt his blood begin to boil. "So. How did that go."

"Well, he took me out to lunch and we stayed at Yun's until the sun started to set, and then we went to the mountain summit and watched the sun complete it's setting. I got to see the stars perfectly! It was just a good night for me. It almost seemed like it was all a dream to me."

"Did you kiss him."

"Huh?"

"Did you kiss him, Lillian."

"Um, why does it matter, Kana?"

"I want to know."

"Well, it's really none of your business, but yes. He gave me my first kiss."

"Wow, that was quick." He turned his back towards her and walked behind his counter.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lillian scoffed, crossing her arms across her chest.

"I mean, you told me that you weren't ready for a relationship. That was a week ago, so what gives?!"

"Kana, I didn't know this was going to happen! Besides, we weren't dating! And I already told you, you're my friend! I don't see you as a lover, alright?"

"Get out, Lillian. I'm done talking to you for today." He opened up the cash register and began to count his money. Lillian began to get teary eyed, as she wondered why Kana was acting the way she was.

"Kana, please just listen."

"I SAID GET OUT." Kana shouted towards her, something he never imagined doing.

Lillian shed a few tears and slammed the door behind her. She began to run towards Yun's tea house. As she approached the small house, she carefully made her way up the stairs, making sure not to slip and fall. She walked through the curtains and took down her umbrella. "Yun? Yun are you in?" She looked around and noticed that Ying came from the back room.

"H-Hi Lillian. I'm sorry, Grandma went to see mayor Ina. She'll be back in a little bit. Can I get you anything?"

"Oh. No thank you, Ying. I just needed to talk to your grandmother about something. I'll come back later, okay?"

Ying gave her a soft smile and hugged onto her legs. "Have a good day, Lillian!"

"You too, dear. Bye bye." Lillian turned and walked through the curtains. She put her umbrella back up, and felt like there were more tears coming to soak her eyes. She walked down the stairs and noticed that Nori was standing by her crops across the way. She had a red umbrella that was held high above her head. Lillian made her way over to Nori.

"Good morning, Lillian! How are you doing?"

"Terrible." Lillian stood next to her and wiped her eyes softly. Nori turned towards her and showed great concern.

"What happened?! Did the date not go good last night?"

"Oh, no.. it did! I had a wonderful time. And I stopped by to see Kana this morning and he asked how it went, and I told him about it, and he got mad and yelled at me and forced me to get out of his house." Lillian began to cry. She couldn't hold it in any longer. Nori embraced her in a hug and rubbed her back.

"It's alright, Lillian. I'm sure he didn't mean it."

"I think he hates me, Nori! What do I do?!"

"He doesn't hate you. You're his best friend, I think he's just jealous."

"He said I moved on too quickly.."

"Well, see, he's just jealous. Why, what did you and Mikhail do?!"

"N-Nothing like you think! He took me out to dinner, we watched the sun set, watched the stars and he walked me home, and kissed me.."

"Oh… I see. Yeah, I can see why Kana said that, but that wasn't right for him to do. I'm sorry he acted that way towards you. I can talk to him if you would like."

"Oh, I appreciate it, but I don't want to drag you into anything."

"You won't. How about I give it a couple of days and see what happens? Then I can help you out. Wanna come in for tea?"

"I'd love that, Nori. Thanks." She followed Nori into her and Gombe's house. She took down her umbrella once again, and sat down on the ground by the kitchen table. "I just don't get it. Why can't he be happy for me.."

"I don't know that for certain. Men are strange creatures." Nori put on a teakettle and turned on the stove. She took out two tea cups and some sugar. "I wouldn't worry about it too much."

Meanwhile..

Kana walked over to his door and flipped his lunch sign up in the window. He walked out of his house, and locked the door, swinging the key into his pocket. He walked straight down the dirt path, and towards the town hall. He walked in and saw that Ina was standing behind the counter. She smiled and gave him a kind greeting.

"Afternoon, Mikhail! What can I do for you?"

"I need to speak to Mikhail. Where's his room."

"Oh, second door on the right."

"Thank you, Ina." Kana made his way down the hall, and reached Mikhail's door. He knocked softly and waited patiently. The tall, white haired violinist answered the door and invited Kana to come inside for tea.

"It's nice of you to come by. Sit down and I'll make us some tea."

"No thank you, I just need to talk to you about something."

"Oh, about what?" Mikhail turned towards him and noticed that Mikhail's face was dark and serious.

"Lillian. Look, I know you two have a thing for each other, and I'd like to warn you, that if you EVER hurt her, or make her cry, you will have to deal with me."

Mikhail sighed and removed his glasses to polish the lenses. "I don't ever plan on doing that. Lillian's very special to me."

"And she's even more special to me. She's my best friend, so I'm going to protect her all I can. Don't you dare hurt her, or you will see the side of me that no one has ever seen before." He turned towards the door and put his hand on the knob. "I don't mean to sound rude, I'm just worried about her."

"And that's very kind of you to watch over your friends. You have my word, I won't hurt her."

Kana turned the doorknob and walked straight out of Mikhail's room, and then out of the town hall.

"Finally got that off of my chest.. I guess my lunch time is over."
