Ah. What the hell. Enough resisting after catching back up with 40+ chapters.


Motoko's face twisted in despair as Hiromi draped herself over her like a cat going boneless.

"Tokooooooo Pleeeeeeease~"

"Noooooo" Motoko whined as the other girl continued her begging that had been going on for twenty minutes. Twenty!

"Just one! Pweeeease~"

"No! Don't do that!" she admonished as Hiromi tried the baby talk mixed with puppy eyes, and no, the quivering lip won't help you!

Jun poked his head into the bedroom, irritation painting his face as he half glared at the two. "Motoko. Just make that song for her already. I'm tired, and need a nap before work tonight."

"She wants a super cutesy love song though! I dun wanna!"

"Tough. I need sleep and will kick you both out to get it." Jun grunted.

"Tokooooooooo~" Hiromi whined while clawing Motoko's shoulders like a cat clawing a soft blanket.

Motoko glared at them both. "Stop that, and no."

"And if I don't get sleep, I'll take your bike for a ride." Jun added.

Motoko's eyes widened in alarm. "You wouldn't."

Jun grinned with shiny teeth. "And I would drive fast. Alarmingly so."

Looking like she had sucked on a lemon, Motoko glared hard before sighing.

"Fine."

"YAY!" Hiromi sheered, hugging her hard.

"But I need alone time. I don't want to work around you two." she grouched.

"So long as I can sleep, fine."

Hiromi hugged her again before walking out with a skip in her step, leaving Motoko alone at last.

With a small growl, Motoko began to work on the song, one of the cutesiest songs she knew of in her old life.

"I'm feelin' lonely~"

It hadn't taken long, and after a few hours, Hiromi listened to the song.

"There. Have your cutesy lovey dovey-ACK!" Motoko was grunting before being tackled by an ecstatic Hiromi!

"We are gonna make so many Eddies when I sell this!"

"I knew it!" Motoko cried in outrage!

"Your fault for being so good!"

===A Week Later===

Motoko felt her life drain as she drove her Quadra and the song played on the radio, more than a few times at this point, with teeny boppers at Hiromi's school jamming to it.

"I should have invested in Medic."
