  I sat on the couch by myself for a while. Ten minutes had passed since Mondo fell asleep, and by then I'd moved him to his bed. I wasn't sure what to think; I wasn't even sure what'd just happened! I wasn't sure if he'd really meant what he'd said, but I figured I'd find out in the morning. I glanced at the clock: 3:23. Scratch that I guess, I'd see in a few hours when he woke up. I sighed, throwing my head against the cushion. 

  I should probably get some rest, I thought, staring up at the ceiling. But before I did, I thought it might be a good idea to check and see if I'd missed any calls from Chihiro. I reached for my pocket, but my phone wasn't there. I searched the other one, even the one on my shirt. Nothing. I sat up in a bit of a panicked state, worried that maybe it was in the car, or maybe even the convenience store. That's when I remembered that both locations were wrong, and it was still in my jacket. 

  Oh good gosh, I thought, wincing and pulling myself off the couch. I practically sprinted to the coat rack, frantically patting each pocket down until I felt the familiar little rectangle in the left pocket. 

  Please don't be bad, please don't be bad, please don't be bad, please don't be-

  I unlocked the phone to be greeted with seven missed calls.

  All from Chihiro.

  Yep, that's bad.

((Look out, I think Chihiro Fugisaki's worried about 'chu!
