It was the evening of Valentine's day. A special holiday as it is. As we all know, it is often called the HOLIDAY OF HEARTS. The fragrance of sweet roses filled the air as lovers strolled upon the streets, expressing their love to each other.

And in one house, the smell of baked pastries will surely put you into the state of wanting some. They were preparations for a meal to be served that evening. A celebration was planned by the four persons that we all knew, together with their friend, Neon Nostrad.

Ding-dong...Ding-dong...the doorbell rang.

"That must be Neon, I'll go get it." Kurapika hurriedly left the kitchen and rushed to the door. This left Killua and Gon, busy preparing their food.

Then suddenly, Gon began to question the other boy. "Hey, Killua..."

"Hn?" Killua answered, but still busy on what he's doing.

"It's still Valentines day...what are you planning to do?"

"Huh? What kind of question is that, Gon? Well...of course I'll be staying here with you guys!" Killua said, but still he didn't took his eyes off on what he's doing.

"Not that, Killua! You know...You--" Then Gon whispered something in Killua's ears that made the boy jerk and stop all that he was doing.

"Eh?! I...I...I don't know, Gon..." Killua said, blushing.

"What are you saying? C'mon, it's still not that late to tell her." Gon encouraged his best friend.

"But...I'm not sure...what if she doesn't like me..." Killua said with a rather discouraged tone of voice.

"Hmmm...you're right about that..." Gon said in a thinking position. This made Killua even more discouraged.

"Eh?! That's not what I meant, Killua...Don't feel so down..."

"But what should I do..." Killua sighed a deep one. "Besides, do I have to tell her? We can be just friends...At least, I know she'll always be my friend..."

"Of course you have to tell her! Don't worry, Killua. Everything will be fine!" Gon smiled as he lifted Killua's spirit up.

"Yeah...you're right, Gon!" Killua was back at his old cheerful self. "C'mon, we should finish this..." And the two were back in preparing the pastries.

"Hi, Kurapika!" Neon greeted the other girl that opened the door for her.

"Hi, Neon! Where's your car?" Kurapika said, turning her head to see where Neon's car was parked.

"Oh...I just told Papa I'll call him when I'm ready to go home. So we'll have a great time! Let's go, let's go!" Neon dragged Kurapika into the house and comfortably settled herself down on the couch.

"I hope this party will be great! Even if it's just the five of us. Hmmmm...." Neon smelled the delicious aroma of the pastries coming from the kitchen. "That smells delicious, Kurapika. Are you baking some pastries again?"

"Well, yeah...Killua and Gon are helping me. Oh, speaking of them, I better continue my work too." Kurapika was about to stand up when Neon insisted her to stay.

"Hey, leave it to them...Let's chat for a while."

"Eh? Well, maybe it's ok. I can trust those two." Kurapika smiled as she sat down beside Neon.

"So Kurapika...have you told him already?" Neon asked while staring at the girl beside her.

"Told who what?" Kurapika can't seem to understand the girl's sudden question.

"You know!" And Neon looked at the direction where the kitchen was, having Kurapika realize what the topic was all about.

"Oh...well, I still haven't told him about it..."

"What! Why is that?"

"Because I'm not sure of what his reactions will be when I tell him..." Kurapika reasoned, she bowed down her head, obviously blushing because of what they were talking about.

"But you should, Kurapika! And...and your living in the same house, don't tell me he doesn't notice anything?"

Kurapika nodded. This made Neon jerk away. "What?! Gosh, Kurapika. Hmmm....let's see...Ah! I know!"

"W-What?"

"Just leave it to me, Kurapika! If you can't tell him by yourself, I'll help you!" Neon said, having a lot of confidence on herself.

"Neon..." But Kurapika doesn't seem to be that confident.

The two girls were still talking when Leorio entered. "Hey, pizza's here!" He shouted, holding two boxes of pizza in both hands.

"Huh? Pizza?" Neon was surprised at the sudden entrance of Leorio.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I told him to buy some pizza." Kurapika explained to the confused girl beside her.

"Oh..." Neon blinked twice.

"Hey, Neon! Good thing you came! C'mon, let's eat!" Leorio said, having that big smile of his mark his face.

"Oi, Leorio! Finally home with pizza, at last. C'mon! I'm starved!" Killua came out of the kitchen rubbing his tummy, indicating his hunger.

"Killua..." Gon sighed. "Hey, Neon! Good thing you came. How come you didn't tell us, Kurapika?"

"Uh...I was about to tell you, but Neon insisted me to stay here...sorry. Oh, have you finished the pastries?"

"Yup!" Killua and Gon said in unison. "But Killua tried to eat some..." Gon's eyes narrowed as he stared at Killua.

"Hey! I can't help it! Besides, it's really delicious...Ne, Kurapika?" Killua smiled.

Kurapika blushed as she saw Killua's smile. It didn't happen very often, that she'll be blushing because of it. But at that time, she can't seem to understand her self at all.

Neon noticed this and had a hidden smile. "Hey, c'mon! I'm going to eat all of this if you don't hurry!" Leorio called out from the kitchen.

"Oi, Leorio! Don't touch even one of those pastries there or you'll really get it!" Killua rushed to the kitchen. "Those are hard to make!" Gon followed. They left Kurapika and Neon in the living room.

Kurapika was still stuck on her thoughts when she realized that the guys have left the room. Neon giggled because of this. "C'mon, Kurapika. It's still too early. Don't worry. Just leave it to me and every thing will be fine." Neon gave an assuring smile to Kurapika.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, c'mon! It's a long night ahead of us!" Then the two girls followed the others to the kitchen and arrived there just in time to see the others fighting over their food.
