A Day of RespiteThe next day was the day before Leisure Day and everybody was on edge due to anticipation because of the impending holiday. When the kids came home from school they immediately sat down at the kitchen table and did their homework, quietly with a minimal amount of fuss. That way, they would have the holiday to enjoy without having to worry about homework.

Because it was almost 8PM by the time the two got their homework done, they knew that they didn't have any time together that night. So Haruo walked River to her door, just next door and gave her a kiss and an embrace. As River cupped her hands to the side of his cheeks and leaned in to say good night, along with a soft growl of amorous intent, he leaned in and kissed her deeply, soulfully and with meaning showing just how much he loved her.

Normally he was a very quiet student only speaking up when spoken too and he was entirely too forgettable in the midst of the hustle of classmates who were more rambunctions and extroverted than he was. The best part of the being the introverted, quiet and forgettable classmate was, that no one would suspect him of being the one who pulled the prank on the school. He could get away with it and not have to worry about any repercussions. So...he hopped a taxi and headed down.

He had gotten away with it scott-free. And that was a good feeling. However it was time to get out of Dodge. Too many villains had been caught by hanging around and gloating about their misdeeds. Haruo was no villain, nor was he a gloating villian rubbing his hands comically with glee. He was just a teenager with a penchant for pulling off one single prank before he graduated from school and he'd accomplished his mission, now it was time to go home.

She hoped that he would come back soon. And she did while away some time by making his bed. It was a romantic gesture that he'd appreciate and he certainly did when he got back. Thanking her by taking her into his arms and giving her a kiss.

And to her joy, she found that he enthusiastically agreed. Besides, they were both getting hungry for breakfast and what better way to have breakfast than to sample some of what the fair offered.

stuck in the middle of the roller-skating rink...staring off into mid-air as though she'd been struck mute. So while she was completely out of it, the Creator decided to give her a make-over.

At least Susan was not such an arrogant putz like Boyd so the Creator was kind to her. If Boyd had been around, he'd have gotten a Mohawk. Haruo and River went to the food booths Haruo got himself som french fries and River got herself a pulled pork sandwich.

But then again, it was worth it to spend time away from the madhouse that was their home.

Would they choose to spend it together? Well, that was an answer that they would face when the time came.
