Shuichi:
I have a great idea today!

*Leans in closer to the camera*

Shuichi:
I'm going to try and marry Yuki.

*Backs up*

Shuichi:
I know, I know. We can't legally marry here in Japan... yet. And Yuki will definitely say no. But, I won't give up! Why?

*Grins*

Shuichi:
It's true that I love Yuki, but there's another reason I'm doing this.

*Leans in close to the camera again*

Shuichi:
Cassie and I made a pact. That's right. She and I have decided to purpose to our lovers. Sure, we know it's impossible. But with love, we do it!

*Sits back, smiling*

Shuichi:
Wish us luck!

*Salute and shuts off the camera*

Mood:  amorous

*Sitting in her room*

Cassie:
I have a little plan today! I am going to purpose to Nick.

*Grins*

Cassie:
I know it's crazy. But, I love him so much. I want to be his wife. I think I have him warming up to me now.

*Twirls her hair*

Cassie:
What if he doesn't want to get married? Well then, I'll keep pushing him until he says "yes." Why? I just love him that much! I know I shouldn't, but I do! I love him! I love him! I love him!!!

*Squeals in delight*

Cassie:
I will not fail! Wish me luck!

*Turns off the camera*

Mood:  not sure

*In his room*

Simon:
I'm not as confusion as I was after the accident. I can do most things by myself. I can tie my own shoes now. I'm doing better in school again. I can even speak Japanese fluently again. I have most of my memories back.

*Pause*

Simon:
I still get a little confused at times. Some of my memories still haven't returned yet. Darcy leaves notes around the house to help me out. I'm still trying.

*Scratches his head*

Simon:
Things are good with my friends. Casper and I are still distant. I still can't get it up. I want to show her that I love her, but I don't know how. She doesn't seem to know either. I just wish I knew what I was doing.

*Drops his head in his hands*

Simon:
I guess I still have a long way to go.

*Lifts his head*

Mood:  happy

*Standing in front of her yard in Mangolia*

Arisu:
Hello Sid! Mom and I are back in Mangolia.  Jin's idea, really. I just wanted to spend summer with you. Sadly, not to be. Not to be.

*Sighs and smiles*

Arisu:
Anyway, not much is going this year. Most of the kids grew up and moved away. That strange man doesn't show up anymore. But, I did see a couple of friends around.

 *Grins*

Arisu:
You remember Buqa and Gal, right? They stopped by and gave us plenty of sweets! Isn't that lovely?

*Pushes some hair from her eyes*

Arisu:
I really wish that you can and see this with me. You would like the scenery here. Mama doesn't drink as much as she does in Japan. In fact, she seems pretty happy here and has a couple of friends. It's kind of weird to me. Maybe Jin was right to send her here. As for me? I'm doing good. Other than not being able to see you, it's all good here. I'll be back to finish my classes to graduate. Jin doesn't want that, but Peaches talked him into it.

*Grins*

Arisu:
This is how many days I missed you. 

*Holds up her jar of stones and drops another stone in*

 Kat:
*Fidgets her hands* I have a small crisis.

*Swallows a bit*

Kat:
I think I might be pregnant.

*Lowers her head*

Kat:
Oh, this is bad. Really bad.

*Lifts her head*

Kat:
I already failed with Ando. I can't really take another child. But what if Alfie wants kids? No, no, no! This is bad, really, really bad!

*Tries to calm down*

Kat:
But, I haven't even taken the test yet. I know, I'll just take the test and see. If it's negative, then I'll be fine. But if it's positive...

*Drops her head again*

Kat:
Oh, I don't want to think about that at all!

*Calms down and lifts her head again*

Kat:
I'm just going to take the damn test.

*Sighs, gets up, and walks away*

Mood:  not sure

*Sitting in the kitchen, fideting with her hands*

Peaches:
I don't know how to get through to him. He doesn't understand it.

 *Sigh*

Peaches:
She's almost twenty. She can take care of herself. Sid's not a bad guy. He's stupid, but not a bad guy.

*Shakes her head*

Peaches:
I don't get my boyfriend sometimes. I really hope it's not a sister complex. Even worse, a dead sister complex. He had another sister besides Arisu, you know? Her name was Fujiko. She acted just like Arisu did now. Then at age eighteen, she changed. Fujiko became more invovled with the church, got sober, and went to therapy for her problems. However, she got hit by a car and ended up on life support.

*Pause*

Peaches:
She died after all of that. Now understanding that makes it easy to see why he's so worried about Arisu all of the time. But still, he just needs to pull back some. I mean, she'll be twenty next year. She'll be fine.

*Frowns and shakes her head*

Peaches:
Too bad my boyfriend can't see it that way. I don't how to make him understand that.

*Drops her head in hands*

Peaches:
I don't know what to do with that man! Argh!

Dr. Taka:
Hello, My name is Dr. Taka. I am the therapist at Tokyo Cram College. You have known me from all the files I do with some of the students here.

*Pulls out a box of all of the tapes*

Dr. Taka:
For four years, I have gained insight into a few students. Some good. Some bad. Quite a few interesting ones I have to say. But...

*Moves the box aside*

Dr. Taka:
Their time here at Tokyo Cram College is coming to an end. They have to grow up sometime. Next year will be my last year with them. What will their future hold for them? Positive things? Negative things? Or Maybe...

Nicole:
Maybe...

Nicole:
That son of a bitch did knock me up. Stopped me from going to Paris for that dance offer. So, why do I stay with him?

*Frowns*

Nicole:
His art. He has good access to all of the drugs and parties. Plus...

*Blows up her bangs from her forehead*

Nicole:
He's so f*****g hot! F*****g hot! Man, can that boy f**k! He's like a drug. I can't get away from him.

*Calms down*

Nicole:
So, do I love him? Maybe I guess... Who can really say?

Fujisaki:
*Sigh* Why do I bother?

*Eyes roll upwards*

Fujisaki:
She doesn't have an education. She doesn't do much at home. No housework. Her fish constantly die. Her cooking is awful. She's not even a good mother.

*Heavy breath*

Fujisaki:
She's trying so hard. She's trying so hard.

*Sighs*

Fujisaki:
Yeah.

*Press his lips together and nods*

Fujisaki:
This is what I have to deal with everyday.

Everyday, she talks too damn much. I can't make her stop. I just want to be alone.

*Buries his face*

Nick:
I don't know how much more of this I can take! But, I have no choice at the moment! I have nowhere else to go! I still have no money. Still looking for a job.

*Lifts his head*

Nick:
So, I'm pretty much leeching off of Ace here.

Nick:
Yeah.

Nick:
I'm so f****d. How the hell did it turn out like this?!? Damn it! DAMN IT!

No! Nothing is wrong! Everything's fine!

Okay.
