"What's the point of playing pin the tail on the  donkey if we can't even pin the tail on the donkey?" Kanata asked.

"It's for laughs." Nozumo answered.

"Why are we playing the game?"

"It's for fun Kanata."

"At least Koharu didn't buy a piñata!" Asahi joined in.

"What do you mean about that?" Kanata asked.

"Well she thought about buying one but I convinced her not to."

"Where will she hang the piñata? There's nowhere to hang it." Nozumo asked.

"I don't know as well." Asahi laughed. "But she was so determined to buy one."

"Eh?"

Subaru and Koharu sat a table away from the others eating cake, sitting beside each other. Laura and Mahiru were taking turns playing pin the tail on the donkey while Ako had to spin them around. Currently no one pinned the tail right. The boys were watching the girls failing horribly. Zen and Ezra were nowhere in sight.

"Pin the tail on the donkey?"

"I thought it would be fun?" Koharu ate a strawberry from her slice of cake.

"But it's a kids game."

"Well age doesn't matter."

"But this is the last game?"

"Yes."

Subaru sighed in relief. "Good."

"But," Koharu looked around, "where are Zen and Ezra?"

Subaru smirked. "Somewhere?"

Koharu glared at him. "Oh you'll not win this bet Subaru."

"I already am Nanakura-san."

"Don't get to cocky, there's a chance they'll confess it now."

"But I don't see them anywhere."

Koharu pouted. Subaru laughed.

"Eh! Asahi asked Nanakura out!?"

I saw Yume cover her ears. "Yeah... you don't have to shout it out."

I calmed down and chuckled. "Yeah... yeah sorry."

Yume sighed.

"Well when?"

Yume looked at me. "Yesterday"

No way!

"Hey Nanakura-san, do you still remember when Asahi asked you out?"

Koharu smiled softly. "Yeah. I remembered it like it was yesterday."

"Ah." Subaru smiled awkwardly.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh no, I just remembered a certain memory. Sorry to ruin the mood."

Koharu shook her head no. "No you didn't."

Footsteps. Subaru and Koharu turned around to face the footsteps and saw Zen and Ezra walking towards them. Koharu kicked Subaru's leg lightly while Subaru grumbled. Zen stopped right in front of them and glanced at the others. He gave them a sheepish smile as he said, "Mind if we join you Nanakura-san?"
