[b]Aiko and Akari-Warakuma Mall[/b]
They had long since left the park, and had headed over to find something to eat, maybe buy something along the way. Aiko spoke up first. "Hey Akari do you want something to eat?" Akari looked back at him and imagining him throwing up all over again, started laughing and only managed to whimper out a yes through her tears of joy. They walked towards the mall and noticed a distinct short boy, holding what seemed to be a new pair of shorts as well as being dressed in a fine new outfit. Aiko bellowed out a laugh and walked faster towards him.

Hearing the high pitched laugh, Noboru looked up. "Oh no." He muttered, trying to avoid the pair. Aiko was the first one to speak up. "Hey there little guy, seems to be your lucky day huh? Meeting such talented people three times in one day. Anyways, nice clothes tiny. Where'd you buy them? the kids store? Oh hey nice shorts, it seems like i've been needing a new pair. thank you Noboru. Such a caring young brother to buy me new shorts with the little bit of money you have. I'll have to repay this favor eventually. Maybe by wearing this pair of shorts and showing how good I look in them compared to you? Hahahahaha." Akari laughed along with him, giggling as they walked off. Noboru stood there dumbfounded. What had just happened? At least his suspicions were confirmed. Akari didn't care about him, she was trying to trick him. Shaking what had happened off, Noboru walked inside of the noodle store once again to sit down, but it seemed as if all the spots were already taken. Noboru sighed and wasn't sure what to do.
