Princess Sonia Nevermind was sitting in the restaurant, drinking a cup of tea by herself. She looked out the window and sighed contently.

"It sure is a lovely day out."

However this is not a story about Sonia Nevermind, no. This is the story of the mechanic at the far end of the room stalking her, Kazuichi Souda

"Miss Sonia sure looks wonderful today." Thought Souda.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Souda quickly turned around. He was greeted by this sight of Mahiru Koizumi, the ultimate photographer.

"N-Nothing!" Replied Souda, hiding his guilt.

Koizumi rolled her eyes.

"You know girls don't dig guys who stalk them." Said Koizumi.

"Well...um..."

Souda could not think of a comeback.

"Well I can't just go up to her ask." Said Souda. "I barely know how to talk to girls I don't like."

"Well standing at the other end of a restaurant watching her like some sort of creep isn't going to help." Said Koizumi.

"Not like shes going to see me anyways." Said Souda.

"Then where is she looking now?" Said Koizumi bluntly.

Souda noticed that Soina was looking directly at the two.

"Shit!" Thought Souda.

He made his way out of the resturaunt as fast as he could, with Koizumi following him.

"Peculiar..." Muttered Sonia.

The princess shrugged it off and took a sip of her tea.


They both stood outside the hotel now.

"See." Said Koizumi.

"Shut up." Retorted Souda.

"Thats definitely not how you talk to a lady." Said Koizumi.

"Well how do you?!" Asked Souda.

"Well you need to be more polite for one thing!" Said Koizumi.

"I am polite!" Said Souda "I say please and thank you!"

Koizumi facepalmed and sighed.

"You really need help in the girl department." Said Koizumi.

"Well its not like theres an Ultimate Love Guru on this island!" Said Souda. "Where would I get help for that?! Hanamura?!"

"Well maybe from a girl for one thing." Said Koizumi.

"Well most of the female population here isn't exactly polite you know." Said Souda. "Just look at Akane!"


Elsewhere on the island Akane Owari awoke from a nap on a bench.

"Huh? My guts telling me someone just dissed me..." Muttered Akane.

"Hey!"

Akane saw Gundam Tanaka standing over her, looking very annoyed and missing his scarf.

"Stop using my scarf as a pillow you fiend!"


Koizumi sighed.

"Look, how about this." Began Koizumi. "Meet me in my cabin around three. I'll teach you some pointers to help you out with Sonia."

"Hold on." Said Souda. "Why would you help me out?"

"Well I'm getting sick of seeing you act like a creeper around Sonia for one thing." Said Koizumi. "So how about it?"

Souda shrugged.

"Eh, why not?" Replied Souda. "I'll give it a try."

"Good." Said Koizumi. "See you at three."

Koizumi walked away, leaving the mechanic behind.

"What did I just agree to?" Thought Souda.


At three, Souda arrived at Koizumi's cabin and was let in.

Souda took a moment to look around the inside of the small building.

"You sure have alot of pictures." Said Souda. "I mean I should have expected, you are a photographer after all."

"I have more back home." Said Koizumi. "Anyways lets begin."

"Whats first?" Asked Souda.

"Just talk to me." Said Koizumi.

Souda cleared his throat.

"Hey Koizumi, hows-"

"NO!"

"Huh?!"

"Thats not how you talk to a girl." Said Koizumi. "A proper gentleman would say this."

Koizumi started to speak in a gruff tone of voice.

"Hello there Koizumi, how are you this fine day?"

"Right..."

"Now lets try this again." Said Koizumi.


After an hour of practice and rehearsing, Koizumi crossed her arms.

"One more time." Said Koizumi.

Souda cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Why hello there miss Sonia, how are you this fine day? And might I also add that you look quite astounding today." Said Souda.

Koizumi nodded in approval.

"Well done." Said Koizumi. "And good thinking with the compliment at the end."

"Thanks." Said Souda. "But my throats kinda dry right now after all that speaking."

Koizumi smirked and took a plastic bag out from under her bed.

"Here."

The photographer took a bottle of cola out of the bag and handed it to Souda.

"You earned it."

"Sweet!"

Souda wasted no time opening the bottle and taking a long sip of the carbonated liquid inside.

"So you think I'll be able to talk to Sonia now?" Asked Souda.

"Not yet." Replied Koizumi. "But you made progress."

Koizumi took a bottle of water from the plastic bag and took a sip.

"I'll teach you some more if you want." Said Koizumi "Same time same place."

Souda smiled.

"Sure thing!" Said Souda.

They finished their drinks before parting ways.

"See you tomorrow." Said Koizumi.

Souda walked out of the cabin and made his way towards his own cabin when he saw Gundam grumpily dragging his scarf towards his own cabin.

"Whats wrong with you?" Asked Souda.

"The well endowed one defiled my sacred scarf with her filthy drool!" Said Gundam. "May she burn in a thousand suns!"

Gundam stormed into his cabin.

"Alright then..." Said Souda, who had no idea what Gundam meant.

The mechanic got inside his cabin without any further delays.
