Doki Doki! Valentine Days

thanks Viruslord for reviewing

-1-

Iroha
This is probably fine, right...?

Felicia
Yeah! Feelin' pretty dang good about it, aren't ya?

Sana
It looks very tasty... And I'm sure everyone will enjoy it.

Yachiyo
Alright, I think that's enough making "friend chocolates".

Tsuruno
Next, it's time for "that" thing everyone's been waiting for!
Yep yep!

---

Tsuruno
And that means...
The super fun pajama party is beginning, beginniiing!

Yachiyo
Just getting new loungewear doesn't really change it much, does it?

Sana
And after our baths, we always talk like this anyway...

Felicia
What, you jealous of the pajama parties
that Ui 'n the girls have at Touka's or somethin'?

Tsuruno
I-I don't care about little things like that! The atmosphere is what's most important!

Iroha
Aha, hahaha...

Tsuruno
Alright, it's just before Valentine's, so let's start the girl talk!
To start, anyone who's got any recent romantic happenings please raise your hand!

Iroha & Sana
.....

Yachiyo
.....

[*Stare...*]

Tsuruno
Huh...? You mean no one has...?

Felicia
...Ah-!
I got one! I had a love episode!

Iroha
Eh-... Really!?

Tsuruno
T-tell us the details!

Felicia
Him 'n I, no doubt, are all lovey dovey with each other!
We give hugs, 'n even smooches whenever we feel like it!

Sana
S-smooch...you said-!?

Tsuruno
Uehh!? Isn't that going a bit too fast!?

Felicia
Ain't really. Around his neighborhood it's pretty normal.

Iroha
T-that's being pretty assertive. Did he maybe grow up overseas...?

Felicia
Nah, Jontaro's born right here in Kamihama.

Iroha
Jontaro...?

Felicia
The neighbors recently got him - he's a golden retriever!

Tsuruno
P-puppy!?

Sana
Sooo, you were hugging and smooching a doggie...

Felicia
Of course!

Yachiyo
...I figured it would be something like that.

Iroha
When you're in the company of a puppy, I suppose that's how it goes...

Tsuruno
Ahh... In the end we got nothing, huh...


-2-

Tsuruno
I guess in the first place...
If there was a love story, who wouldn't already know about it...

Iroha
Yeah... We're almost always together,
so if there was any change, wouldn't someone notice?

Yachiyo
Come to think of it...
Isn't this the first time we've talked about the opposite sex?

Sana
It is...

Tsuruno
Alrighty then!
Next we'll talk about our "ideal lovers"!

Felicia
Yer really hung up on this love talk stuff...

Tsuruno
'Cause it's Valentine's. Why not do it once in a whiiile!
That said - Yachiyo, go ahead!

Yachiyo
Eh-!? Why me!?

Tsuruno
You're the oldest, of course.

Yachiyo
Asking me this all of a sudden... Hmm...
.....
...If I have to say, then a wagashi confectioner...perhaps?

Tsuruno
T-that's pinpointing it.

Iroha
What made you think that?

Yachiyo
Wagashi confectioners are hardworking and detailed-oriented, aren't they?
So I thought that would be great to have in my private life.

Felicia
Ain't you just sayin' that 'cause you can eat all the sweets ya want...?

Yachiyo
…っ…!! Y-you're wrong!
And I was just answering out of desperation to begin with.
Saying what my ideal lover is, I can't just imagine it...

Tsuruno
I see... The situation's suddenly taken a turn into uncertainty...
Let's get this back on track. Next up's Iroha-chan, go for it!

Iroha
Ummm...
As long as they accept me for who I am, I'm not really picky...I guess...?

Tsuruno
What an open mind...!

Iroha
I-I don't really think so...

Tsuruno
But... Such ambiguity is the most dangerous!
In other words - you'd be fine if I was your partner, wouldn't you!?

Iroha
Ehh-!?

[*HUG!*]

Iroha
Hyaa...!?

Tsuruno
Just kidding!

Iroha
T-Tsuruno-chan...! You surprised me all of a sudden...

Tsuruno
Ahaha, sorry, sorry!


-3-

Tsuruno
Okay, okay, our next contestant is Sana, everyone applaud!

Sana
M-me...!?
Umm... ...Hmm...
.....
...I know...! A Prince Charming on his white horse...!

Tsuruno
Y-yeah...?

Sana
A prince from a faraway country
who comes to rescue me in my time of need and sweeps me off my feet.
And then we fall in love...

Tsuruno
I-I see...
But wouldn't it be a little hard to come across a prince like that...?

Sana
Uu... You're right...
I've never thought about something like an ideal lover until just now.
I'm creating a fantasy person who doesn't exist...
It really is weird of me to do that, isn't it...

Felicia
Don't worry, Sana!
If I hadda say something, I'd go with Kuushinsai-sensei!
I think he's hella cool - who cares if he's real or a fantasy!

Sana
Felicia-san... T-thank you for saying that...

Yachiyo
By the way, she's been asking and prying into people's lives,
but what about Tsuruno herself?

Tsuruno
Me?
That of course is someone who will make Banbanzai flourish!
Anything else is unimaginable.

Yachiyo
I see...there's no love there.

Tsuruno
Heh?

Yachiyo
Well, say you accomplish that goal early on, leaving you with no reason to be together -
would you two still be going out?

Tsuruno
No, I knew that didn't sound right,
but you asked out of nowhere...

Yachiyo
Hold it, don't blow me up with you.
But...huhu... It's been made clear.
For us, love is secondary... No, it's tertiary, isn't it.

Tsuruno
...!

Iroha
I suppose you could say that.

Tsuruno
Urgh...you can stop at saying we just have no attractions, but...
Well, I guess that's just how we are!

Iroha
...That said, tomorrow is the once-a-year Valentine's Day.
There must be some Mahou Shoujo out there still getting ready for the person they like...
I hope... Everyone's love goes well...

Akari
Uu... How could I be so unlucky...

Hotaru
Who woulda guessed he'd be away from home the day of Valentine's, huuuh~...

Akari
And after I went through all the trouble to make Haruto Onii-san chocolate brownies...
If I can't give him this homemade chocolate,
I'll feel bad for Moka-san and Ranka-san for helping me.

Moka
Don't worry, Akari-chan. I helped because I like you.

Ranka
And I just happened to be free, so I tagged along with Moka.

Hotaru
Akari's so meaaan... I helped tooo~...

Akari
You slept practically the whole time!

Hotaru
Mmm...was I nooow~...?

Akari
Goodness me...

Hotaru
Buuut... You're not confessing to him this time, riiight~...?

Akari
That's right, but...
I do still want to give him homemade chocolate on Valentine's.
So if Haruto Onii-san doesn't come back...
Uuuu...

Ranka
Hmm, the mind of a girl in love sure is complicated.

Moka
I know...! Eat this to cheer yourself up.

Akari
Ah... Is this...chocolate?

Moka
Yeah, I made lots to give to everyone.
Don't mind me singing praises, but I think they turned out especially yummy.
Hotaru-chan and Ranka-chan, please help yourselves if you would like, too.

Hotaru
Actuallyyy~... I brought some toooo~...

Akari
Eh-!? You made these, Hotaru!?

Hotaru
My sisters shared them with meee~
I'm always inconveniencing everyone, so they told me "be sure to hand them ouuut~...

Ranka
...I got some chocolates too. As a prize at the game center if you want 'em.
And I'm like tired of the same old same old, so...

Akari
R-really...!?
I actually happened to make a separate batch from Haruto Onii-san's...

Hotaru
Waah~... We're loaded with chocolaaate~...

Moka
Huhu, this unintentionally became a friend chocolate exchange party, didn't it?

Akari
Yeah, I can't wait to eat them later!
Haa...it's like you guys all shared your energy with me.
My weak heart flew on away!

Moka
That's wonderful! Akari-chan, keep it up!

Hotaru
Now if Nikaido-kun would just get baaack...
Mm...mmm~...?

Akari
Ah-... You mean right over there is...!?


-5-

Hotaru
Now if Nikaido-kun would just get baaack...
Mm...mmm~...?

Akari
Ah-... You mean right over there is...!?

Hotaru
It's Nikaido-kuuun~...

Ranka
Speak of the devil...! Well, hurry up and go get 'em!

Moka
Go for it, Akari-chan!

Akari
Y-yeah...!
Haruto Onii-san!

Haruto
Akari? Why are you here...?

Akari
Umm...I've been waiting forever to give this chocolate to you...
So please accept my feelings!

Haruto
.....
Ahh, so that's what this is...!
This is "care chocolate", the kind you give people you care for.

Akari
Eh-!?

Haruto
You're like a little sister to me, Akari, so you don't gotta worry about things like this...

Akari
Y-you're mistaken! This isn't care chocolate...

Boy (Green)
Oi, Haruto! Over here!

Haruto
Whoops...sorry. I gotta go now.
Akari, you came all the way out here to deliver this to me.
Really, thanks.
Well, see ya!

Akari
Ah-...! H-he's gone...

Ranka
Homemade chocolate being mistaken for care chocolate...
This some kind of gag...?

Hotaru
It's not my place to say this, buuut...
Nikaido-kuuun... Is a little slow, isn't heee~...

Moka
Akari-chan... Are you okay...?

Akari
...Yeah, that may have gone way better than I thought it would.

Moka
Eh...?

Akari
Him mistaking homemade for care chocolate -
it's proof my charm is still lacking,
so it may be a good thing I saw the problem before confessing to him.

Ranka
Hehh. Not bad, girl.

Moka
I see... I'm glad you're so forward-thinking, Akari-chan!

Akari
Well, it's not like I don't feel disappointed, but you know,
now I'm going to need to polish myself more and more before the big confession!

Hotaru
Yup... You're going to need iiit~...

???'s Voice
Oh...? Is that you, Akari-chan?

Akari
Iroha-san...!


-6-

???'s Voice
Oh...? Is that you, Akari-chan?

Akari
Iroha-san...!

Ranka
W-what're YOU doing here!? Don't tell me there's trouble?

Iroha
No, because it's Valentine's Day
I'm giving chocolates out as a thank you for everyone's continuous support.

Mikage
And 'cause it looks super fun, we're helping out too!
Right, Sutan!

Sudachi
Fumu!

Iroha
That being said, please take one as well, you guys.

Moka
Waah...thank you so much!

Akari
That's what I mean...!
I need to learn to be more considerate like Iroha-san...!

Mikage
Sounds like you're in the spirit for something! What happened?

Akari
Well, um, actually I just failed at Valentine's...

Mikage & Sudachi
Ehhh!? Fumuuu!?

Akari
I say that, but it's not like I confessed and was REJECTED or anything!
The guy I like mistook my homemade chocolate for care chocolate,
so I only feel a little disappointed.
But the root of the problem is my lack of charm...

Mikage
Amaaazing!!
Just having someone you like itself is amazing,
but to also give them your chocolates!
We couldn't even imagine doing that, huh!

Sudachi
Fumufumu!

Akari
I-is that right...?

Mikage
You bet! Compared to Mii and Sutan, you're practically an incredible adult already!

Akari
I'm getting embarrassed when you put it that way...

Mikage
It's sooo niiice!
Mii wants to have a heart-pounding Valentine's soon, too!

Sudachi
.....
(Valentine's...)
(It sure is a lively event...)
(I can't even imagine having someone I like right now, but...)
(I wonder...)
(If one day I'll look forward to Valentine's too...)

Sudachi
[...When I thought that, I never would have imagined...]
[That the next Valentine's would be such a crazy mess...]
