Second Punch

[craftingrebel]

[This is why Kanji shouldn't fiddle with his pokégear while talking about important, secret-y things! It accidentally records, sob his life.

Anyways! Kanji looks up in thought.]

So... today's the nineteenth... And her birthday's on the twenty-seventh. That's... in eight days?! Aww hell... I need to figure out something to give her and fast.

[Kanji turns the gear in his hands as he continues thinking.] It can't be lame either. And buying something from one of the stores would be a pretty shitty gift too... I wonder if this place has a fabric store.

[Kanji shakes his head and frowns.] Crap, what was that store Rise mentioned?

He-hey, I'm here to help, man! It's not like it's some kind of secret that you're sweet on her anyways. [Winks.] At least not for me.

[buwaaaahhhhhh--]

[craftingrebel]

[oh my god is it that obvious sob] Y-Yeah? Well... j-just... say what your gonna say then!

action;

[skillspanner]

Bahaha, relax, dude. [Folds him arm. Very serious thinking face.] I was just gonna say that she'll probably like something home made more. I mean, you're pretty good at that stuff, so there's no way she wouldn't like it!

action;

[craftingrebel]

Well--yeah I was gonna make her something.

action;

[skillspanner]

Any ideas on what you were gonna do yet? [Ideas a-brewin'.]

action;

[craftingrebel]

Well I was thinkin' about makin' her a bag--but others think I should make her a book cover.

action;

[skillspanner]

A book cover? Dude, do you know how lame that sounds? [INCREDULOUS. FOREVER.] Yeah, I mean... Naoto-kun likes books, but still. At least a bag would be kinda practical around here.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Oh yeah? Do you have any bright ideas senpai?

action;

[skillspanner]

He-hey, I didn't say the bag idea was bad, did I? [Frown.] I'd say make a plush of one of her Pokémon or something, but I don't even know if Naoto-kun would like something like that.

But you never know, she might.

action;

[craftingrebel]

A plush huh? I'll keep it in mind...

action;

[skillspanner]

You never know, it could work.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Maybe...

action;

[skillspanner]

Hey, don't sweat it, man.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Man why's this gotta be so hard?

action;

[skillspanner]

Dude, you're dealing with girls. They're never easy.

action;

[craftingrebel]

W-- yeah-- you gotta point.

action;

[skillspanner]

Yeah, I know. Believe me.

action;

[craftingrebel]

What kind of stuff did you by for the girls in the city?

action;

[skillspanner]

Uh... well, it kind of depended on the girl, you know? Sometimes it was CDs, sometimes it was phone charms and little stuff like that. It depended on what she liked.

action;

[craftingrebel]

You're right on that depending part, I don't think Naoto would enjoy those stuff. She'd probably use it--but I dunno if she'd like it.

[He sighs and rubs his head.] Guess I'll come up with somethin'...

action;

[skillspanner]

Don't stress out about it too much. I'm sure you'll find something Naoto-kun likes. Maybe some... crazy detective stuff or something. [Laughs.] I gotta find something too, so, uh... guess I can help when we get into town.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Heh, yeah. Uhh, thanks senpai.

action;

[skillspanner]

Hehe, no problem. That's what friends are for, right?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah.
