*THE NEXT DAY*
*SCHOOL IDOL CLUBROOM - NIJIGASAKI HIGH SCHOOL - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
*P.O.V SWITCH - KANATA*
Hmmm...
EMMA: "What's wrong, Kanata? Your face looks grim."
MARI: "Is something bugging you?"
KANATA: "Emma, Mari... It's almost Valentine's Day, right?
I was thinking about how every year I give Haruka chocolate, but this year I want to do something different. Something that'll surprise her even more.
But I can't think of a single thing that'd work!"
MAKI: "I see. So that's what's been on your mind, and why you called us over."
NICO: "Hmm... Something besides chocolate to give on Valentine's Day... How about a Valentine's card?"
YOSHIKO: "Right. What if you made a special one? One that's like a pop-up book, for instance!"
KANATA: "I've already done that before."
MARI: "Then... There must be something else you can give her as a special present."
EMMA: "Hey, then why don't you give her a rose as a present, Kanata?"
KANATA: "A rose?"
EMMA: "Yeah. In Switzerland we give roses as presents on Valentine's Day. So why don't you try giving her one?"
MAKI: "Wow. That's a lovely idea."
NICO: "Giving chocolate and a rose has such a classy feel. Why don't you do that?"
KANATA: "Yeah! That's a great idea! That's what I'm gonna do! Thank you, Emma. I'll find a florist as fast as I can tomorrow!"
EMMA: *Laugh* "I'm glad I could help. Hey, Kanata? Do you mind if I go with you to the florist?"
KANATA: "Not at all! It'll be really encouraging to have you there with me."
Emma's such a sweetheart. I bet she'd know which roses to pick!
MARI: "Ooh! If you don't mind then why don't we all go as a group?"
NICO: "Sure!"
MAKI: "Maybe I'll give out flowers myself this year."
YOSHIKO: "I can hear them now! The voices of those captive flowers calling out to me!"
MARI: "So you're saying that you wanna come with us to the florist too, right, Yoshiko?"
YOSHIKO: "Precisely! And hey, it's not Yoshiko. It's Yohane!"
KANATA: "Yay! Then let's all go together tomorrow!"
Hee hee. I can't wait!
