"Gumi, When did you meet Gumo?" Aoki said. "At school.. He was a sweet boy that was popular with people but not popular with girlfriends. " Gumi said remembering. "When did you find out you liked him?" Aoki asked petting Yoko. "One day he stayed over at my house and as I saw him sleep I felt very nervous. It was then when I noticed my close friendship with him had made me fall in love with him." Gumi said smiling. "How long have you known him for?" Aoki said curious. "A very long time.. but I didn't like him right away. I always suffered from unrequited love.. I had always fallen in love with the wrong people..even when he was by my side all the time." Gumi said looking down with a smile.
"So cute ~! Does he like you?" Aoki asked. "I'm not risking it.. I'm not going to ask him." Gumi said shaking her head. "Well Gumi is cute so I bet Gumo likes her." Aoki said giggling. "You don't know.. " Gumi said petting Aoki's head. Yoko flew in between them and began to sing loudly. "What is she saying!?" Gumi asked Aoki. "He's here." Aoki whispered.
"Gumi, are you there?" Gumi asked knocking on the door. Gumi stood up and ran towards the door. "Yup!" Gumi said opening the door. Gumo hugged Gumi and then they both let go.
"Have you been told about the new vocaloid?" Gumi asked Gumo. "Yeah I've heard of her." He said smiling. "Well here she is. Her name is Aoki Lapis. You won't guess what she did." Gumi said sitting down in front of Aoki. "She ate all your carrots?!" Gumo said laughing. "No! Aoki, Talk to Yoko." Gumi said.
Aoki looked at Yoko and pet her head. "Climb my hand." Aoki said. "Aren't they cute?" Yoko said climbing her hand. "Yea!" Aoki responded. "I hope she likes her.." Yoko said. "Yea, that would be great. It'd be great if it was like that for me too." Aoki said. "You like someone?" Yoko asked. "Shh~. I don't want people to find out." Aoki said.
"She can talk to birds?" Gumo said amazed. "Yeah. I don't know how she does it.." Gumi said looking at Aoki. "Go fees your little birds." Aoki said. Yoko climbed off Aoki's hand and flew out the window to her nest. "I'm sorry I didn't say hi." Aoki said waving her hand. "It's okay! " He said.
"Are you guys best friends?" Aoki asked. "Yup!" They both said at the same time. They looked at each other with a smile then looked at Aoki again. "You guys make me so jealous!~" Aoki said giggling.
Gumi turned a bit red and smiled. "I'll be right back." Gumi said walking out of her room.
"How long have you known Gumi for?" Gumo asked Aoki. Since.. well I met her here. She's really nice isn't she?" Aoki said. "Yea. She's really sweet. " He said smiling. "Can I ask you something?" Aoki asked. "Yeah, go ahead." He nodded. "Do you like Gumi?" Aoki asked.
Gumo looked to the side to see if Gumi was coming. "I.. well.. I'm not so sure." He said turning red. "Are you sure?.. You are blushing. "If you tell me who you like I'll tell you." He said. "Just don't tell him! ~" Aoki said turning red. "I won't. " He said. "Well... I like Len." Aoki said blushing and looking down. "Really?!" He said laughing. "Be quiet. Now you have to tell me." Aoki said smiling. "Well.. I like Gumi." He said blushing. "That's so cute!~" She said giggling. "Don't say anything though!" He whispered.
"What is going on here? Your both pink!" Gumi said coming into the room. "He found out who I like!" Aoki pointed at Gumo. "But Gumo-kun is pink too." Gumi said sitting down next to Aoki. "He told me who he likes." Aoki said giggling. "I'm curious~! Who do you like Gumo?" Gumi asked. Gumo turned beet red. "I'm not saying..." He said looking down. "Please!~ At least describe her." Gumi said.
"Well.. she's cute.. and very nice. We are close friends too..." He said looking away from Gumi. "Awee~! I bet she probably likes you!" Gumi said forcing a smile. 'It's.. not me.' Gumi thought over and over. "I doubt it... Ever since I've known her she's liked other guys." Gumo said. "I bet she probably does! Your a really sweet person and you listen to people when they need to be heard." Gumi said.
"Just say it already." Aoki said. "What the heck?!" He yelled and his face turned red. Gumi's face turned red as well. Gumo looked at Gumi and saw her looking down blushing. "Gumi.. I like you!" He yelled looking down. He waited and his eyes became teary. 'She doesn't like me...' He thought over and over. Gumi began to cry and hugged Gumo. "I... I like you too." She said hugging him tightly. As she let go,Gumo dried Gumi's tears with his hands.
"Since when have you liked me?" They both said at the same time. "You go first." Gumi said. "The first time you cried to me that a guy didn't like you I felt like crying with you. When you said you didn't like him anymore my heart skipped a beat. When you said you fell in love again with another person I felt like crying myself. There I noticed that I liked you." He said.
"It was a day that you stayed over at my house. I woke up early and seeing you sleep made me feel very nervous. It was then when I noticed my close friendship with you had made me fall in love." Gumi said.
"Gumi... Do you want to go out with me?" Gumo said putting his hands over hers. "Yes. I promise I won't let you suffer." She said smiling. "I know you won't." Gumo said hugging Gumi gently. "I love you." Gumi said. "I love you too." Gumo said running his fingers through her hair.
Gumi looked at Aoki who was smiling. "I'm sorry." Gumi said. "No it's okay." Aoki said wiping away a tear. "Are you okay?" Gumi asked. "Yea! It's just that.. it's beautiful when two people like each other." She said smiling.
"Did she know that you liked me?" Gumo asked Gumi. "Yeah. Yoko told her this morning." Gumi giggled. "So she kind of planned it out ,huh?" He said. "I guess she did." Gumi said with a smile. "Whenever there's something wrong, don't hesitate in telling us. We'll help in any way we can." Gumo said.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it." Aoki said bowing in place. "You can tell me anything. If anyone finds out it'll only be Gumo, I promise." Gumi said. Aoki giggled and covered her mouth. "Your so cute, Aoki." Gumi said giggling.
"I kind of feel like I'm interrupting now.." Aoki said. "You aren't." Gumo said.
"Is it okay if I leave? I feel a bit guilty staying here right now.." Aoki said. "Your not bothering us at all! It's okay if you stay. But if you insist on leaving.. There's nothing I can do. Just make sure to bring carrots when you come back." Gumi said giggling.
"Haha.. okay. I'll leave you guys. See you later." Aoki said walking out of the door.
