Chapter 2

Double Date at the Park

"Aahhhhh~! Such a beautiful day to take a walk in the park!"

Sayuki stretches out her arms as she and her girlfriend, Rikka walk along side Risa and Miya. They had finished their picnic lunch a half hour ago and the four girls are now walking along in the large park. Risa looks over at her girlfriend and the dark-haired girl smiles. It's been a while since the two had a double date, but that's only because of Miya. She still gets jealous of Rikka being around Risa since they are both childhood friends. Miya would do anything to show Risa off, saying how she's a better girlfriend to her than Rikka. Risa then has to keep her girlfriend in control so that things don't get awkward between them. In fact, yesterday, Rikka wanted to have a double date suggested by Sayuki and go on a picnic together. Risa was certain that Miya might get jealous again, but the dark-haired girl assured her that there's nothing to worry about and she'll keep her cool. The pinkette wasn't really sure if her girlfriend was telling the truth or not, but didn't ask any further and accpeted the request. So far, things are starting to go well.

"Rikka-san! Rikka-san!" Sayuki says excitedly. "Look, look!"

"What is it?" Rikka looks over at where her girlfriend is pointing and notices a large fountain in front of them. About 10 people are gathered around it and tosses some coins in the fountain.

Sayuki takes notice and tilts her head in confusion. "Huh? This fountain is not a wishing well, yet people are tossing coins in there."

Miya turns towards the freshman. "They say that you can make wishes in that fountain. And all your dreams will come true."

"Really, Miya?" Risa eyes her girlfriend suspiciously.

"Presicely!" Miya gently tugs her lover towards the fountain. "Which is why Risa and I are going to make our wishes first."

"W-wait!" Rikka begs. "I'm sure there's enough room for the four of us to make wishes."

"Not gonna happen. Come on, Risa. I know what I'll wish for. And I'm sure you do, too, right~?"

"D-don't be ridiculous! You don't know what I'm wishing for anyways!"

"Oh, I'm sure your wish will be as good as mine~!"

Risa groans as she follows Miya towards the fountain, took out a coin from their wallets and toss them in the water. They quietly make their wish and when that's done, Miya casually walks over towards Rikka.

"Good luck on making your wish, Rikka-san," she sneers.

"Wh-what's that supposed to mean!?" the track runner stutters, trembling from the dark-haired girl's dark aura.

Miya just smiles evilly and walks off with Risa look at her childood friend in worry. Rikka and Sayuki take the time to take out their wallets and toss in their own coins and make their wishes. About a minute later, the couple walk towards Risa and Miya and the four girls continue their walk. It was somewhat uneventful, seeing nothing but other people chatting away and birds flying everywhere. But overall, they are all enjoying their time together and both couples are even linking arms with each other. And they take the time to even look up at the beautiful, clear sky with the sun shining down upon them. Risa smiles and rests her head on Miya's shoulder. The dark-haired girl smiles as well, seeing how her girlfriend is being so affectionate.

Just then, Rikka stops and looks over at a wonderful playground with about 5 children playing on it. Risa, Miya and Sayuki take notice and watch the children play.

"That playground looks like fun!" Sayuki states.

"It is," Risa agrees.

"You know," Rikka starts, getting Risa's attention. "Risa-nee, do you remember playing at the park together one time? Our parents took us to one and we had fun together all afternoon!"

"Together?" Miya mutters.

"M-Miya please dont," Risa begs.

"Yes, we used to play tag and hide and seek," Rikka says. "It was a lot of fun!"

Miya clenches her fists tightly with her long bangs hiding her expression. "You did, huh?"

Oh, no! Risa thinks to herself. This is bad!

"U-Um, Miya? Are you okay?" the pink haired girl asks.

"I'm fine," Miya says coldly. "Wh-why wouldn't I be?"

"Why is your body shaking, then?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Hey, Risa-nee!" Rikka says. "Do you also remember the time when we got lost somewhere? We just ran off the park somewhere into the woods and didn't know where we were."

"Ah, yes, I remember," Risa replies. "We weren't that far and were already crying for help."

"I was literally in tears until you comforted me," Rikka says with a smile. "You acted very brave and said that we would get through this. And then, our parents found us."

Miya starts to tremble more and more. "Y-y-y-you were comforted…by Risa?"

"Miya, please!" Risa begs. "We were just kids!"

Sayuki decides to jump in. "Oh, that's such a cute story! It's like you two are a couple already!"

That does the trick. The anger within Miya finally erupts and turns towards the track runner with a menacing glare.

"Rikka-san," she says, coldly. "You should know that I have WAY more fun with Risa than you do. We play tag every single day and I'm always the one to catch her!"

"R-really?" Rikka says, feeling really scared of Miya right now.

"Yes," Miya replies. "And also, I'M Risa's protector from now on! No one else shall take my Risa away from me! Especially you…Rikka-san."

"M-M-Miya-sama…you're scaring me."

"Hehehehehe….oh, Rikka-san. I guess I didn't get it through your head enough. Why don't I explain it a bit more?"

Miya raises her arms with her hands forming claws and smiling evilly. Rikka screams and makes a run for it while Miya chases after her. Risa and Sayuki stand there dumbfounded as the two run around the park with Rikka screaming for Sayuki and Risa's help.

"I knew this would happen…" Risa mutters.

"Miya-sama sure looks scary when she's angry…" Sayuki says.
