"Ahh..Why did we end up buying so many things..?"

The Greenette said sulking as she holds a bunch of bags containing different clothes for different seasons. The Pink-Haired girl looked at her best friend in glee as she chuckled

"You say that as if you're not gonna use them when you will."

Nerve-Wracked at the girl's statement, a sweat dropped from Shizuka's forehead and she responded, looking back at her

"Then again, we used your money...I kind of feel indebted to you every time we do this.."

Chuckling once more and stopping, Aide put her left hand to a thumbs up position, Eyes with determination, and said with proudness in her tone

"I finally achieved a new emotion: worried Shizuka-Chan."

"You dimwit."

------

As the two best friends stand up from their seats, grabbing their stuff, Aide perks her head up to Shizuka and asked

"That's right! I forgot to ask. Shizuka, what're you going to do this New Year's!?"

Startled by the tone the girl in front of her asked, she sighed and stood up straight before answering

"I'm staying at my relative's until the third of January."

Putting her mouth into an O-shape she starts walking towards the Greenette and asked another question

"Didn't you say you lived in an estate? Then you surely must have a lot of relatives coming."

As they start walking towards the exit of the cafe the Greenette looks at the other girl and clarifies in a matter she wouldn't bad mouth a certain someone

"Ah..I mean- Yeah, we are holding a Party, but I'm not sure if it'll go well because of some..minor inconveniences.."

Confused at the way her best friend spoke, she decided to keep her mouth shut about it and decided to say in a nice way possible

"Still! At least you'll be there for it either way! I mean, what could that minor inconvenience change? I know you'll be able to fix anything wrong in the way!"

Surprised at the words of her best friend, she smiled slightly and nodded her head in a way of saying thanks

-------

"I'm back!"

"Oh! Sohma-Senpai, you're back! How was it?"

Removing her Black Boots and then putting aside the shopping bags she had brought home, she put on some slippers and walked into the living room, pinching her hair and sliding it down to the ends of her hair removing the wax, she said looking at the brunette

"Err..How should I say this? Let's say I feel much more indebted to Aide-San now."

Before Tohru could say anything, Shigure barged into the room with two piles of books in his hands. He noticed the Greenette's presence and greeted

"Oh! Welcome back Shizuka!"

The said girl nodded and looked at the books

"Anyways, what happened to you?"

The Ravenette nervously chuckled and responded

"Well, I'm planning to get rid of these books. It's just a shame that I can't ship them to the estate or I'll be yelled at.."

"Huh.."

In a sudden, The brunette walks towards the oldest Sohma and says

"Err..Shigure-San? Um..I know it's terrible of me to ask so much of you but you see, my grandfather contacted me and told me that they were going to Hawaii. So..would it be all right if I stayed here for New Years?"
