35"Maron!" A little green figure flew onto a balcony. "Maron!"
"Fin, where have you been?"
Kusakabe Maron walked over to the balcony and opened the slide door.
"It's Access! Access and Sindbad!" said Fin-chan worriedly.
"What are they up to now?" said Maron as she threw off her sweater and it landed right on Fin's head.
"Pay attention to me Maron! Ahhh! Emph!" Fin landed on the floor with a thump as she got tangled in the sweater.
"Can I have just one day without thinking of demons?" Maron walked into the bathroom and started the water.
~Meanwhile…
"Chiaki!" A little purple figure buzzed around an apartment room. "Chiaki!"
"Enough! Access, be quiet!"
Chiaki sat down on his couch.
"But Chiaki, we have to help Fin! Fin and Maron!"
"You think I don't know that? But she's been quite successful lately in collecting those demons. Fin might have just gotten enough!"
"Kaitou Jeanne is…well she's…she is working for the devil under god's name! I know it's not her fault, but she must be stopped. You can't protect her! You must defeat her!"
"Access, I can't do something like that to Maron."
"Chiaki…"
"Would you do something like that to Fin? Fin would look at you and you'll soften up. Access, you know what it's like."
"I know, but Chiaki…"
" Go to sleep. We'll talk about it in the morning."
~The next day…
Chiaki came out of his apartment and came face to face with Toudaiji Miyako. She had been ringing Maron's doorbell continuously.
"Hi Chiaki. What is with Maron? We're going to be late!" exclaimed Miyako.
"Here, let me try," said Chiaki calmly. Chiaki took Miyako' hand and pulled her into his apartment and onto the balcony. "After you."
"Do you do this a lot?" asked Miyako suspiciously.
"No…I just happened to think of it. You know, since Maron and I always talk here and all."
"You always talk here!?"
Chiaki hit himself on the forehead and jumped across the ledge to Maron's balcony. Miyako followed. They opened the screen door and stepped inside. The room was pitch black. Miyako and Chiaki felt along the walls to find the switch. Suddenly Chiaki felt something soft that was made of smooth fabric. Miyako found the switch and turned it on. She stared at Chiaki and he felt his face burn red. The soft, smooth, fabric he was holding was Maron's underwear!
"Nagoya Chiaki!" shouted Miyako.
Chiaki let go of it immediately and suddenly noticed Maron wasn't here.
"Where's Maron?" asked Chiaki.
"What? She's not here?" Suddenly Miyako stared at the blue clock on the wall. "We're going to be late!" she screamed as she ran out the door.
~At the front gates of school…
"Miyako! Wait up!" screamed Chiaki.
"Yeah right! I can't be late! But you don't care about being tardy!" yelled Miyako.
Chiaki and Miyako bolted inside the classroom right before the bell rang. Maron was sitting at her desk as if nothing had happened. Chiaki plopped down next to her and pushed his desk next to hers.
"Chiaki, why were you and Miyako almost late?" asked Maron.
"We were looking for you. How did you manage to wake up early?"
"I came for gymnastics practice."
"I remember the last time you came in early and that lasted two days."
"Well, this time I'm doing it for real. Could you move away from me?"
"You can't make me. By the way, I saw something private of yours today!" said Chiaki as he poked Maron on the arm.
"Get away from me you pervert!" said Maron.
Chiaki stuck out his tongue and smiled. Miyako was extremely jealous when she saw Chiaki act like this toward Maron.
"I wish Chiaki tried to annoy me like he does Maron…" Miyako mumbled to herself.
The bell rang and class was dismissed. Linchou ran towards Maron and blushed.
"Oh, uh, Maron-chan, my grandpa, he gave me…" stuttered Linchou.
"Gave you what Linchou?" asked Maron curiously.
"I-I have, um, some tickets to the new-ew m-movie that just came out," said Linchou.
"You mean the talk of the school? Everyone wants to go to that movie, but it's so hard to get tickets!" exclaimed Maron. "Where did your grandpa get them?"
"Maron!" yelled Chiaki. "Let's go to the new movie together! I've got tickets!"
"I, uh, you see…" said Maron as she tried to think of a way to reject.
"Speechless? I'd think you would be. Speechless means yes! I'll pick you up at 8:00!" said Chiaki happily.
"Linchou, I'm sorry, maybe some other time," said Maron quietly.
"Linchou! We're going to that movie!" said Miyako.
"We're?" said Linchou.
"Yes, we're. Don't you want to know what Maron and Chiaki are going to do?" asked Miyako.
"But where are you going to get your ticket?" expressed Linchou.
"From you," said Miyako and with that she took a ticket out of Linchou's hand and chased after Maron and Chiaki.
"Miyako-chan!" shouted Linchou.
~8:00 P.M.
"What to wear, what to wear?" Maron asked herself as she dug through her closet. Finally, she gave up and went out to the balcony.
"Stars, why do you get to sit up in the sky and not have to worry about a thin?" murmured Maron.
"Because if they did, they wouldn't be stars," whispered Chiaki.
"I didn't ask you to answer my question."
"Who said I can't. Plus, why should I miss a chance out here to talk to you and…" Chiaki trailed off.
"And what?" asked Maron.
"…talk to you and get a sneak peek of the view you gave me the first time we met!" exclaimed Chiaki.
" What do you mean sneak peek…" said Maron as she noticed that Chiaki was staring her underwear! Her shirt only went a little above knee high and as she leaned on the balcony, it tipped up! Chiaki had the perfect view! Maron had only a shirt on because she kept trying different clothes on for the movie.
"I'll come over when you're ready!" exclaimed Chiaki as he scrambled back into his apartment.
"Chiaki! I'm going to get you some day!" screamed Maron as she threw a stuffed animal at his screen door. "That pervert! Thinking he can take advantage of me!"
Maron went back inside and started digging threw her clothes again. Finally, she decided to put on a red velvet dress with pink lipstick. She didn't feel like putting on more make up because she didn't want Chiaki to think that she had dressed up for him.
"Ding dong!" the bell rang.
"Have no fear, Chiaki is here! Maron, can I come in?"
"No."
"What? On come on, you're not still mad about the underwear thing are you?"
"Yes."
"I never knew big strong Maron was so stubborn and short tempered!" said Chiaki.
"Hmph!" said Maron as she came out of her apartment. Maron pointed her finger at Chiaki's face and said, "I am not stubborn and short tempered!"
Chiaki whistled and said, "I could never say no to such a pretty face. You look so beautiful tonight!"
"Go to the movie, come home. Go to the movie, come home," thought Maron as she walked towards the elevator.
"Maron! Where do you think you're going with Chiaki?" asked Miyako as she stepped out of her apartment.
"Hello Miyako! Maron and I were just going to the movie!" exclaimed Chiaki.
"OH really…"
"Hey Miyako, why don't you go down the elevator with Chiaki?" asked Maron.
"Maron…" said Miyako. "Sure!"
Miyako pulled Chiaki into the elevator and pushed the close button at lightning speed.
"Lucky!" Miyako exclaimed.
Maron walked down the stairs slowly and almost crashed with Linchou!
"Maron-sama!" exclaimed Linchou.
"Linchou! What are you doing here?" asked Maron curiously.
"I-I came t-to…."
"It doesn't really matter.
Maron walked downstairs and Linchou followed.
"Chiaki-kun, what do you like to eat?" asked Miyako.
"Whatever a beautiful lady make me!" kidded Chiaki.
"Chiaki, you're never serious," said Miyako.
"Chiaki, what are you trying to do now?" asked Maron as she walked down the steps.
"Nothing, my beautiful lady."
"Hmph!" said Miyako as she left the building.
"Miyako-chan," Linchou said as he ran after her.
"What did you do to Miyako now Nagoya Chiaki!"
"Nothing Maron," said Chiaki as he put his arm around her. "Should we go?"
" Get your stinky hand off of my waist!" screamed Maron.
"Awww…Maron, getting shy?" said Chiaki. "We are on a date."
"No we aren't!" said Maron as she stormed out after Linchou and Miyako.
"Maron, she won't ever understand."
