Kaito turns to Miku and says, "Miku, would you like to get some ice cream?

Miku looks up and replies, "Hai! What flavor? I love vanilla, but strawberry is also good..."

Kaito puts his arm around Miku and says, "Get any flavor you want."

"Kay," replies Miku with a laugh.

They walk to a small ice cream shop together hand in hand.

"So which flavors so you want, munchkin?" asks Kaito.

Miku thinks for a second and then answers, "I'm getting Ichigo Vanilla Swirl! And you?"

Kaito tells the cashier Miku's order and then orders himself.

"Triple scoop. One chocolate, one strawberry, and one cookie dough," chimes Kaito.

"Don't eat so much! You'll get fat!" exclaims Miku. "But I'm totally stealing the cookie dough bits!"

Kaito laughs, "Don't take all of them though!" He pays the cashier and takes both cones of ice cream. They start eating and Miku happily says,

"Wow, this is good ice cream! Want some?... Um, Kaito?"

"What? Oh, sure!" Kaito replies as he tries some of her ice cream.

Miku says, "You seem distracted today. Is something wrong?"

"No; I love ice cream so much, I just get lost in the flavor," states Kaito as he gobbles up more ice cream. Miku makes a shocked face and exclaims,

"You can't just shove it all in your mouth! You need to savor it!"

"I am!"

Miku makes a disapproving face.

"I'm sorry munchkin..." Kaito starts to eat slower.

Miku happily says, "Better. Doesn't it taste better that way?"

Kaito looks up; he has ice cream all over his face. "Much better! The cookie dough is amazing!"

"Oh, hold on... You have some ice cream on your face..." She gets a napkin and starts to wipe the ice cream off of his face.

Kaito blushes and replies, "Thanks."

"You're blushing Kaito!

"No I'm not..."

"That's okay! I promise I won't tell anyone! Oh! I just remembered something! IA is having a party tonight and she said I could bring whoever I want so... I thought you would like..."

"Okay, munchkin, but first," Kaito picks up Miku, "I need to make sure you keep your promise and don't tell anyone about today." Kaito smiles at her.

"Promise! What do you think I should wear?" Miku blushes as she speaks and Kaito carries her to his car.

"Anything you want; you'll look beautiful in anything!"

"You're the best!" Miku thinks for a couple seconds before she says, "I got this new dress the other day, so I'm excited to wear it!"

"And I know you'll look gorgeous." Kaito gently puts Miku down and opens the passenger door for her.

"Drop me off at my house so I can get changed. Then we can hit your place if you want to change. After that, it's party time!"

The drive takes five minutes, and when they arrive, Miku tells Kaito, "I'll be right back!"

"Okay." He stays in his car and listens to the radio. The classical music station starts playing a violin solo piece. Kaito starts to nod off. It takes twenty minutes for Miku to change. When she comes back, she finds Kaito asleep.

"Okay, I'm read- Kaito... You're asleep... WAKE UP!"

Kaito wakes with a start. "Hmm? Oh, hey you're- You look amazing."

"Next time, stay awake!" Then Miku adds, "Baka."

"Sorry, I'm just tired."

"I bet it was the ice cream. Told you not to eat so much! Anyway, lets go."

"Okay." Kaito starts the engine.

"Do you need to change?"

"No. Unless you want to help me pick out something, this is clean. We also don't want to be late..."

"No, you look fine, Kaito."

When they arrive at IA's house, they knock and see that there is no one home.

Miku wonders, "Huh, why would it be cancelled? And I just got dressed up! This is not like IA!"

"It's fine, we can still go somewhere. How 'bout one of those parks with hiking trails? You can wear my extra shoes. IA probably had to go out; last minute things came up or something."

"Your shoes are too big for me, Kaito, I don't think the hike will work."

"We could go back to your house and get some? Or we could go someplace else?"

"Ooh! There's supposed to be this great new club downtown! I wouldn't need to change!"

"Okay, we can go hiking and watch the sunset another day." Kaito starts the engine in his car.

"Sounds great! The club is called 'Chiyo.'"

They arrive at the club after a few minutes. Kaito parks the car and opens the door for Miku.

"Why thank you, good sir!"

Kaito closes the door and smiles. "Welcome, munchkin!"

Miku worriedly looks at the line. "Wow, the line is so long... I hope we get in..."

"It probably won't take that long. Come on, lets get in line before more people come." Kaito takes Miku by the hand and walks to the back of the line.

Miku blushes. "Kay..."

Kaito pulls her into a hug and kisses her on the forehead.

Miku breaks away. "Hey, I just got a text from Luka..." Miku pulls out her phone to view the message. Just then, Meiko walks up to them.

"Hey," she says.

Kaito waves and replies, "Hi."

"Hey Meiko!" says Miku, not looking up from her phone.

"How's things going?" Meiko asks.

Kaito replies, "Pretty good."

Miku says, "Oh, looks like Luka is coming here with her new boyfriend tonight. Another new boyfriend"

"Another?" Kaito asks.

Miku added, "I'll give him two weeks."

Meiko laughs and says, "Wow, be nice. Two days."

Miku sees that she got another text. "Oh hey, she sent another text..."

Meiko asks, "What'd she say?"

"'Sorry, won't be coming tonight: just broke up with my new boyfriend.'"

Meiko laughs. "I knew it."

"New record..." Miku mumbles.

Kaito is also shocked. "Oh. That was quick..."

Meiko changes the subject. "Anyways, to the party?

"Meiko, we're at a club..." responds Miku.

"That's why, lets party!" Meiko exclaims.

The line has moved in the time they were talking. Miku says, "We're almost in!"

Meiko grabs alcohol. "Lets party!"

Miku makes a disapproving face. "Is that straight-up alcohol?"

Meiko smiles and says, "Totes. White lightning all the way."

Miku retorts, "You're crazy and going to get crazy drunk."

Kaito says, "Yeah, I don't want to do that; I have to drive this one home." He smiles and puts his arm around Miku.

Meiko says, "Daw!"

Miku's face goes red and playfully says, "Stop it!"

Meiko laughs and says, "You guys go on ahead. I'll be in a few." Meiko leisures away.

Miku and Kaito finally walk into the club.

"Soooo... Seeing your ex..." says Miku.

Kaito mumbles, "I didn't expect that."

Gakupo walks in. "You guys seen Luka?"

Miku mutters, "She's probably in a coffee shop thinking about her break up."

"She's not with you guys?" Gakupo asks.

Kaito replies, "No."

"Well drats. I'll go and try to catch her. Do you know her exact location?

Miku whips her phone out and starts texting. "Lemme text her..."

There is a small gap of silence until Miku says, "She's waiting in line to the club actually! (And she said she wouldn't come!) Says she's trying to find a new boyfriend."

Kaito asks, "Already? It's so soon..."

"Well, you know Luka..." Miku says.

"It'll be like her seventh, right?" Gakupo asks.

Miku replies, "No."

"How many then?"

"Tenth this year."

Kaito looks at her with shocked eyes. "Tenth?! That's way too many!"

Miku states, "Last year, there were thirty. Go get her, Gakupo! Maybe you'll be the one for her!"

"Naw, I look terrible today. I wouldn't be too lucky."

Kaito tells him, "You look fine, plus, there are a bunch of colored lights, so she won't be able to tell anyway."

Miku looks down. "Okay, she's gonna get so mad at me but..."

Gakupo says, "But what?"

Miku starts talking really fast. "Shehaslikedyouforfiveyearsnow,butneverthoughtyoud idsoshenevertoldyou!" She starts to slow down. "She's gonna hate me."

"What'd you say?" Gakupo asks.

"She likes you."

"Ohhh"

"Like, a lot... Go get her."

Kaito jumps in and says, "Yeah, go for it!"

Gakupo sighs, "I don't know guys... I mean, she IS Luka."

"For globs sake! The girl is in LOVE with you! She never had the courage to say anything, so she decided to fill the void with boyfriends she never loved!" Miku exclaimed.

"Miku help me. What do I do?" asks Gakupo.

"Just go outside and offer her your jacket and stay in line with her or something!"

"Oh, fine." Gakupo walks off.

Miku eyes the dessert bar. "Hey, Kaito, can you get me some of that strawberry shortcake? Oooh! Or the PUDDING! I told you I can't control myself when sweets are involved..."

"Why of course! I'll bring you a bit of both. Be right back!" Kaito walks to the dessert bar.

Miku smiles, but then says, "I'm gonna get fat..."
