Disclaimer: I don't own SKET Dance.

I felt like getting out of the zone and threw some random people in. Here you go. I didn't split this one up cuz im just too lazy.

SO. MANY. FREAKIN. WORDS.

Super long. I warned you. And sorry about that…. this is the laaaast anyway

"Oiiiiiiii!" Bossun's right hand waved in the air, he kept his left hand carrying Himeko. Switch and Reiko-san seemed to be bending down before a certain grave near the exit.

"You guys are still here? I thought both of you are out already." Bossun looked down, "hm? Oh? Your brother's grave? Sorry."

Switch typed, "it's okay, I'm done anyway…" He put a face as if he was saying 'just looking at it… hurts…'

Bossun smiled, a sad but somehow a really caring smile. He looked at Switch who was looking down at the grave. Switch then walked away, finding himself on a reflection of a water puddle and the dim light from the old lamps. It was like he was staring at Masafumi, though it's just the fact that they really did look alike.

Bossun stepped forward, patting Switch's right shoulder. "Man, let's get back to the festival, I've got a promise I need to fulfill."

"What promise?" Switch typed.

"I gotta buy this sleepy head a pair of new sandals. Things happened and I've got no choice but to carry her." Bossun pointed the blonde girl he was carrying, she appeared to be sleeping soundly, her grip didn't loosen so it's easy for Bossun to piggyback her. "It's good that she fell asleep, if she was awake and let you guys see her like this, she would demand me to put her down, and insist to walk bare-footed."

"What happened? What about the snake?" Reiko asked.

"It's gone, thankfully. Himeko fell and her sandals were broken. That left me with a choice either to carry her or leave her there, haha." Bossun answered, joking a little.

"Anyway, there are still better things to do at the festival," Switch stopped, "are you satisfied with this, Reiko-san? I hope you understand that no ghosts can be seen by humans unless it's an imagination."

"I have to admit it this time, but next time, I'll overturn your scientific belief." Reiko said, she then apologized to have brought the sket dan to the cemetery at night for her selfish intention.

"Let's go," the boy with glasses typed as he walked away. Bossun and Reiko followed him, back to the crowds and lights of the festival.

"Oh? I'm—," Himeko lifted her head up. She noticed that she fell asleep, probably because she was staying up the night before preparing the prettiest yukata to wear today. But where and when did she fall asleep?

"Eeh… so I was.."

'being carried by Bossun…' , oops, she blushed, she remembered now.

"Hey, you awake, Himeko?" Bossun noticed the movement of the girl he was carrying. Bossun smiled, "you only slept for like 10 minutes, don't worry, the festival isn't over yet!"

Himeko's face turned red. She looked away and noticed her arms were *kind of* hugging Bossun's neck. She quickly fixed her position.

"H-hey! Don't move too much!" Bossun shouted a little, "I don't think I can handle you if you don't stay still right there."

"Then put me down! I wanna walk!" Himeko shouted back.

"Suppose I put you down now, are you gonna stand walking without your sandals?" The boy bent his back a little, jokingly trying to put her down.

"W-w-wait," Himeko quickly responded, making him stop. "F-fine! T-thank you!"

Bossun giggled. "Hah! Can't really be completely honest, can you?"

"Oh, shut up. By the way, Switch and Reiko-san… where are they?" Himeko turned her head, trying to get a glimpse of the rest of her friends.

Bossun pointed with his chin, "ohh, they're at the shooting booth there, see? Such a tense atmosphere right there!" It appeared that in the distance, two people were trying to compete in something. Switch and his perennial sparring partner.

"Ahaha, usual sight." Himeko giggled.

From the distance, another girl with a peach-colored yukata was walking. She was talking with a boy beside her which appeared to be a tan skinned slim guy with a pair of clear, round glasses. One little boy was between them, running happily. The three of them were walking to where Bossun and Himeko were.

"Hey, don't run too far!" The girl shouted. The little boy didn't care, he was having fun running between people. But then the boy bumped into Bossun's legs.

"Ugya!" the voice of the small boy sounded so cute, Himeko looked down.

"Hm?"

"Hey there, you okay?" Bossun leaned down. "Ehh, wait, aren't you…"

"Ahh! Himeko-chan…! And… Bossun?" A soft voice came. Bossun turned. So did Himeko, naturally.

"Captain! Hyaa! You look so cute with that yukata!" Himeko squealed.

Captain, also known as Takahashi Chiaki, was standing before them. She was the captain of Kaimei High School's girls' soft ball team as well as Himeko's very first friend at the school. Her smile is the most calming one. Today, she came to the festival with her little brother. The peach-colored yukata she wore had some little white flower patterns on it. Her hair was tied to the sides as usual, divided into two.

"Um, thanks. Sorry, my little brother never pays attention to people in front of him!" She apologized and then continued on, "hey, what happened? Why is Bossun carrying you?"

"Well…"

Himeko wasn't sure where to start. So Bossun spoke up for her instead.

"Long story. So basically, she hurt one of her legs and one of her sandals was gone."

"That's horrible!" Captain yelled.

"What's horrible?" A light-brown-haired boy spoke. He was there right behind Captain and was wearing a sleeveless shirt, a basketball shirt it seemed. His right hand, with a black wristband, was carrying a basketball. His glasses shone for a second.

"Teppei!" Bossun smiled. It was Sugihara Teppei, the transfer student that became the SKET dan's first client. He was bullied by Jougasaki, his childhood bully, up until the SKET dan found the problem. He refused to join the SKET dan and became a Kaimei basketball team's member.

"T-tecchan, I told you to keep an eye of my little brother—!" At the same time Captain turned and stopped.

Himeko's eyebrow went up, "'Tecchan'? Since when do you call him that, Captain?"

"U-um, you see… we… um—" Captain looked down. Wow! Captain blushed! Himeko was excited to see her best friend blush for the first time. She meant, it's captain!

Bossun put on a teasing smile, "what's this, what's this? Don't tell me, you two—" Bossun teased Teppei, he tapped Teppei's arm with his elbow.

"Well—yeah, we just—you know we both like sports and all, and we just clicked, so—" Teppei rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed.

"You're going out!? Since when!?" Himeko was fidgeting, Bossun also seemed to be excited.

"Eh, umm, well, like 2 weeks ago… We met and talked after the Kaimei basketball match, and we happened to live near each other's houses so…" Captain blushed even more.

"Hyaaah! So cute!" Himeko's squeal became even high-pitched.

"Yeah! This Teppei-niichan and my oneesan really get along well, you know!" Captain's little brother spoke up cheerfully. Bossun and Himeko smiled teasingly, even wider.

"Hey!" Captain was finally at the peak of her embarrassment. It's really a rare sight that Himeko was seeing right now.

"I-I'm going to eat some more takoyaki, so—, bye Bossun, Himeko!" Captain started to take a step forward.

"But didn't you just eat 2 boxes of them?" Teppei laughed.

"Don't speak out loud!" Captain's face went completely red.

All of them laughed. Himeko neared captain, she bent down a little bit.

"Congratulations, Captain!" Himeko whispered.

"You too! You two look like you became so much closer!" Captain passed and waved her hand. "Bye! See you guys!"

"Eeh—me too? What do you—" Himeko blushed, 'did she mean, me and bossun?'

Bossun—obviously, heard the conversation. He—being a zero-delicacy-suke, wasn't really aware of what that meant.

"Did Captain and Teppei just walk by?" Switch came back, Reiko seemed to have gone somewhere else.

"Oh, yeah, they did! Switch! Did you know they are actually—" Himeko excitedly intended to tell Switch about what she just knew. But Switch cut her sentence.

"Oh those two? I know, I know." Switch swiftly typed. "I'm a database afterall."

"Why didn't you tell us then!?" Bossun pouted.

"Well why would I need to?" Switch responded.

"But iyaaaaah—those two, seriously. Who could see that coming?" Himeko fidgeted even more.

The three were chatting while they walked between the crowds, good thing Bossun was carrying Himeko so it'd be impossible to get separated. Switch had a good eye and he wouldn't get lost so easily. Then suddenly, they saw from afar, a tall, handsome boy was walking next to a girl they know.

"Ah! Look! That's Eni and Quecchon!" Bossun pointed. A couple was walking side by side, the green haired girl was wearing a yellow yukata, and Enigman, looked extremely bashful with the red face he pulled. Bossun shouted, "OOI! Eni—"

Himeko quickly shut his mouth. "Dummy! Read the atmosphere! Can't you tell that you were going to ruin the mood?" Himeko noticed those two from the quiz club were holding hands, wow.

"Ehh, why?" Bossun pouted.

"Anyway, let's get out of this place, it's getting more and more crowded!" Switch typed.

Bossun shrugged a little, "alright." The boys started running.

"Whoa, Bossun idiot, don't run too fast!" Himeko hit his shoulders,"you're carrying me, remember!?"

"Alriiiiight, alriiight, but keep your grip tight okay."

Himeko slowly tighten her grip on Bossun's shoulder.

She kept thinking, 'so Captain could finally face her own feelings, so could Quecchon… but how about me…?'

...

Slowing down, they walked around the festival. It was getting late, but more people seemed to be there. The shop keepers were seen to be so much busier, and the scent of various foods diffused in the air. Himeko's belly growled. Bossun giggled and offered to her.

"You're so lame! Wanna eat some more food?"

"S-sh-shut up! It's because I only ate a watame before! I'm not like you guys who ate countless okonomiyaki!" Himeko argued.

Switch pointed at an ikayaki stand. He ordered three sticks of the grilled squid and paid for them. "It's my treat," he said, typing one-handed, trying to look cool (except that he really was cool). He took one stick and gave the rest to Bossun. Bossun passed one to Himeko on his back.

"Thanks, guys!" Himeko grinned.

"Mattaku… What can you do without both of us?" Bossun joked.

"You guys are the best!" Himeko praised as she chomped the ikayaki.

...

The three decided to find a bench to sit and eat. Too bad all the benches nearby were occupied. They went further to find some other bunch of benches, and finally found one bench which half was empty. Captain, her brother, and Teppei were there. They met again.

"Captain! Teppei! Hey! Still eating?" Bossun spoke up.

"Only Chiaki is, she sure eats a lot." Teppei chuckled. Captain later hit him lightly, telling him to shut up.

Bossun put Himeko down carefully. It was like putting down a delicate princess. Then he and Switch sat down too. They have been standing for quite a while now.

"Ah! That reminds me!" Teppei broke the silence. "I came here after a practice, so I still have my basketball shoes with me. You think it's okay, Himeko-san?"

"Really? I can borrow them? Thanks!" Himeko cheerfully accepted the offer. Though she was kind of enjoying being carried by Bossun, she needed to let him rest.

"But they're probably too big for you though…" Teppei opened up his sports bag.

"Haha! This onihime's feet are probably so big though! It's totally fine!" Bossun said.

"You wanna go, jerk!?" Himeko threatened him. Bossun could only smile weakly, "It's just a joke, dude, a joke!"

Teppei chuckled, "if you're fine with it, then… they're kinda wet though, I sweated a whole lot today. The practice was hardcore, since the next competition is near," Teppei took out his black with orange-striped basketball shoes.

Bossun glanced at the shoes, he stopped and took them before Himeko reached.

"I'll wear these. Himeko, you just use mine." He took off his sandals and gave them to Himeko.

"What's the problem?" Himeko asked confusedly. Everyone was confused though, seriously, what's the problem? Was it Bossun just wouldn't let Himeko wear a random guy's shoes or….

"Eeh—well, you see, it'll be a real pain since you'd have to give them back to Teppei, you're going on a basketball camp, right, Teppei?" Bossun found a good reason!

"Eh, yeah… but… she could just give them to Chiaki, she'd pass them to me." Teppei suggested.

"Anyway, I'll wear these, okay! I'll give it back to you by tomorrow morning." Bossun insisted.

Switch typed, "ooh! That's right, Himeko's house is far from Kaimei, right? Then Bossun should!"

"Ooh! Right," Captain who was eating yakisoba this whole time spoke up.

"Onee-san! I wanna pee," her brother tugged her yukata.

"Alright, let's go to the restroom. I need to go as well," Captain stood up. Himeko stood up too. "I'm going too!"

The girls and the little boy went. Just three boys remained at the seat.

"So, guys, how's it going?" Teppei, again, broke the silence.

"Good… By the way, Teppei, how come you didn't tell us, about you and captain!?" Bossun teased him, again.

"Eeh—it wasn't anything to talk about!" Teppei smiled.

"Oya oya, look who's grown up!" Switch joined Bossun, Teppei really was a good target for teasing.

"Hey hey, did you watch the new Mantama yesterday?" Bossun started a new topic.

"I saw!" Teppei and Switch synched. The conversation then continued.

The boys chatted for a long time now, Himeko and Captain had come back. They all ate some Yakisoba together, Captain bought so much of it because she was sure she could finish it all, but then she decided to share.

It was getting late and the festival was almost over. Switch had gone home earlier because he promised his parents not to come back too late. Captain, her brother, and Teppei also went home together since they lived close to each other. Since Himeko was the last and her house was the furthest, Bossun decided to walk her home. In the train Bossun fell asleep. His head rested at Himeko's shoulder. Himeko let him sleep for a while since he was probably tired of carrying her.

Bossun then snored.

Himeko giggled and took out her phone. The camera flashed. Bossun still didn't wake up. It seemed like he really was tired. Himeko then rested her head on the top of his head. She was so sure this was the best summer festival ever. Compared to last year where she only stayed with her family at home. After the train stopped, Himeko stood, but then bent down, waking Bossun up. Bossun was half-asleep, he accidentally gave her a peck on the forehead.

Himeko jolted and blushed, she slapped him.

"WAKE UP, IDIOT!" She shouted. A few passengers were surprised.

Bossun woke up completely.

"Oww that hurt, you meanie! What's your prob—oh it stopped. Bye then, Himeko. Ni-shi-shi"

Himeko stared at him for a second, 'this guy, seriously.' She chuckled and got off the train.

From what she saw, Bossun fell asleep again. But the train had started to depart. 'Let's try to be honest once in a while,' she thought. Even though she was sure her voice couldn't reach him anymore, Himeko shouted,

"Thanks for everything Bossun! I-I-I l—" She stopped, but then quickly, "I loved the times I spent with you!"

Satisfied, she turned back and walked home.

After just passing 5 meters from the station, her phone rang, it was a text. She thought it was from her dad who was going to pick her up.

Himeko opened her phone and covered her face with his left hand, her face went red. This was unexpected to be coming from that zero-delicacy-suke.

On the phone it showed, "Sender: Bossun, Subject: 'same', content: 'So did I.'"

Bossun was still on the train, one of his hand put his cellphone back to the pocket on the side of his pants. He whispered, "you didn't have to shout it out so loud…"

that's the end. I don't know anymore.

Ikno iknow, I told you not to expect too muuuuuch.

so let this one be the last ok, ok? ok. bye.

I mean, thanks a whole bunch for the biased reviews. You guys are just too kind.

Alright should I put this thing:

The end.

Yay. ok that's it.
