As the sun falls lights begin to outshine the dark, booths set up for food and games. All near a beach during the cold winter breeze, colorful lights everywhere around people with a cheerful atmosphere. Ayase had her eyes set on going to the festival for new years with her boyfriend, so they could share a new years kiss…but unfortunately they didn’t last that long.
Instead she was stuck with a tall and slightly muscular guy with a buzzed head who took a liking to Takakura, a pink haired skank who had her eyes set on one guy and one guy only. Just looking at her made Ayase burn up with anger as she tangled her arms around Takakura’s.
She looked back at the other group until it clicked, that stupid skank had her arms around a nervous nerd. She was astonished why is Aira wrapping her arms all on him what’s worse is that he offered to show vamola around the festival grounds, so she was going to be all up on him too!
Ayase kept her distance joining Rin and Unji who unexpectedly were talking with eachother, Rin let Ayase put her hair with a cute yukata to match her hair accessories. A lavender color with a light green band around her waist. white flower designs covering around the fabric. Oh how it was gorgeous it was nice to see her smile more, her freckles also popped up more with her hair up.
Unji just wore a hakama pants over a kimono which surprisingly enough matched his whole delinquent vibe. Jiji wore jeans and a basic shirt since he didn’t plan on staying to long at the festival. Vamola wore a yukata that matched her color scheme but still it stood out earning her a couple weird looks.
Ayase had her up with her curly bangs covering her vision slightly, her eyes shined with the lights looking at all the food places. In habit she ran up Jiji tugging on his arm.
“Jiji wanna go get some meat skewers!” It was almost nostalgic to her.
Takakura’s eyes couldn’t help but stare at the sound of Momo’s laugh, as she tugged on his wrist running to the stand for meat skewers. He thought he was pass the jealous phase, he had already told her his true feelings and yet he never got a response back. No rush for him because he doesn’t think he can even handle that, “YO KEN!” A stern yet raspy voice called out to him.
He turned around to see Unji waving around his hand at a food stand. “YOU GOTTA TRY THIS MOCHI!” Takakura had a sweet tooth and so did Unji so that was something they had in common.

A couple hours around the festival Ayase drifted away from the group, she spotted someone from afar. A curly perm with, and round glasses that the lights bounced off off. He wore a red yukata with gold imprints along the side, his however he still wore some tennis shoes instead of sandles.
He was looking up at the sky’s white lights while the colors of the festival surrounded him, her heart thumped just looking at him. You could tell he changed after Turbo granny left his body, he’s a lot more shy again and even awkward but yet so fit in shape.
And girls already started talking about him more at school which irritated Momo even more. She walked up to him seeing if the others were there, but they weren’t. “Hey okurun..”
Her voice was more tender and sweeter, his skin crawled jumping before looking at her. “Ah miss Ayase I was looking for you!” His voice cracked, “really?” She questioned him doing another check for the others.
“Y-yes! I thought you had been avoiding me..” his voice was a bit shaky and smooth, his free hand rubbed his nape looking away in an awkward position.
“A-avoiding you?!” Her cheeks flushed up looking shocked, her brown eyes caught a hold of what she was staring at the handsome boy before her, his cheeks showed color aswell. “Yes” he sighed trying to make eye contact before quickly looking away.
Her voice stuttered trying to find the right words, they haven’t talked all that much since he confessed so why not do it now right?
Before she could speak Jiji had appeared in his place, giving the same awkward look. What the hell could it implying she wondered.
She didn’t like Jiji anymore and that was a fact, yet she was picturing him over Ken. All of a sudden she could hear people calling out their names, Ken’s eyes shined walking towards the group.
She bit her lip wanting to pull him away from them and keep him all to herself. Jiji eyed her down, his eyes maybe. Softened looking at her, he pulled her aside behind a booth.
“What’s up Jiji?” She rushed out of his grip, she was worried Ken would see and get a bad impression.
“Ah! Well uh I got you this, I don’t know what your into but it’s dedicated to us and our journey this year” his face flushed very quickly as she looked at the gift in her hands.
“A small snow globe..?” Her voice questioned it, sure she had a thing for aliens but it wasn’t her main intrest at all.
“If you don’t like it that well..give it to Ken” he smiled patting down her head.
“I gotta head out now but uh goodluck” he winked walking fast soon disappearing from her line of sight.
She held up the snow globe, ‘a little Santa alien, how cute’ she snickered holding the globe tightly. A little sigh of relief left her, maybe she was thinking that Jiji still had a thing for her or maybe she just felt bad that she might have led him on.
She walked away from behind the booth seeing the crowds grow bigger, she could also see Rin on Unji’s shoulders with her sandals handle wrapped around her fingers. From the looks of it she didn’t see Ken at all.
She roamed for a while near the beach side of the festival until she caught sight of him. He sat on concrete sand covered stairs, looking above with his glasses off.
“Can I join you?” Momo asked sitting next to him anyway.
“Miss Ayase?” He squinted his eyes, he knew it was her and she knew he did. She grabbed his glasses placing them back on his face shape, “hey..can we talk?” Ayase uttered.
Looking at him eye to eye with pink blush dusted around their faces, “uh..yeah of course” he smiled looking away from her.
“I’m gonna start!” She announced
“Ok..”
She holds her breath in before letting it go, “when you declared how you felt towards me..I was shocked yet I wanted you to wait. But at the same time I didn’t want you to talk to other chicks”
She felt like she was dying, she never thought she’d find a guy who was respectful and listening to her.
“I realize it was a selfish request especially since I avoided talking about it when I came to my regular size..”
“But what I’m about to tell you is how I honestly feel!” She clenched tightly onto her chest, her heart felt like it might just explode right there.
“Okurun.. im in love with you!” The air drew silent and the ocean seemed to stop its loud roaring.
All he could do was smile. It was a gorgeous smile, a pure smile.
He sighed lightly making the quiet atmosphere disappear. “So what now…miss Ayase?” He turned to look at her.
Her face was a heavy pink, her eyes widened and her hand paused in the air that was reaching for Ken’s body.
“Aha! Sorry” she yanked her hand back, facing forward.
“So how do you honestly feel about me miss ayase?” He asked bluntly.
“Even without my turbo granny form, do you still like me or.. do you like the guy I was when possessed?” His voice ached. Her heart beat like crazy not knowing how to respond to such a blunt question.
“I like…” she paused hesitantly before reaching out to his hand. Her fingers wrapped around his, and she could feel his heart beat, she could see his aura changing.
“I like the real you Ken!” She uttered.
His face turned from relaxed to absolutely red and embarrassed. His hair spiked out looking all messy, the face he made was a face only she gets to see. And she’d keep it that way, she moved closer resting her hand on his cheek.
“Heh! Your burning up Ken” she moved in even closer.
Her heart raced just by touching his nose, she could feel his heart beating rapidly and heavily. “Would you mind?” She asked using her thumb to caress his lip, “I- I uh don’t…have much experience” he croaked.
She let out a soft giggle.
“So can I?”
His lips trembled before he could respond, all the cold air felt hot. He was sweating, but her hand was so warm.
“Y-yea..”
She let out a soft sigh before pressing her soft lips against his, she pulled away for a moment before going back for more. This time it was more tender and longer, his pack pressed against the wall of the stairs. When they parted lips she stared at him with luring eyes.
“Miss ayase are you trying to kill me!?” His voice squeaked, just looking at her was killing him. He took a minute to get air, before he knew it her lips were back on his with more passion.
His lips opened slightly making it easier for her to shove her tongue in his mouth, she straddled onto his lap moving her arms around his neck.
She parted from his lips noticing how much of a wreck he looks like. And she could keep going, but they’re in a public space.
She stood up from his lap, wiping the drool from her lips corners. “Aha sorry…I got carried away with emotions” she put out her hand for him to reach but instead he used his arm to cover his face.
“Ken?”
“Gahh! Don’t call me that…okurun is fine!” His voice squeaked.

“THERE YOU ARE!” Aira screamed out running towards Momo and Ken, “where were you guys?” Aira asked getting in their bubbles.
“Nun of ya business” Momo groaned wrapping her arm around Ken’s shoulder squeezing tightly.
“What ever..the fireworks are gonna start soon and we found the perfect spot!” She reached out for both of their wrists pulling them over by this balcony part.
“I FOUND THEM!” Aira announced letting go of their wrists.
Unji eyed Okurun before approaching him, he patted him on his head. “I’m glad you guys made it” Unji smirked walking back to the railing of the balcony.
The wind was quite strong, and the sound of the fireworks covered their oceans roar. Momo latched her pinky around okuruns watching as his glasses reflected the fireworks.
“Hey I’m glad we met!” Rin yelled trying to beat the sound of the fireworks.
“Same here!” Ken smiled moving his hand on Momo’s
