Chapter 1: Let's Go Cherry Blossom Viewing

I-chi-goooo!

Let's go see the cherry blossoms next Saturday! I found this awesome spot that no one knows about yet.

Cherry blossoms?

Yeah, that's exactly what I said! You know, where you get to spend an enjoyable day admiring the pretty flowers and looking at cute girls?

And if these cute girls could feed me their handmade lunches... Oh, I would be in heaven!

Talk about over-exaggeration.

Why go out of the way to see cherry blossoms if all you want to do is eat girls' handmade lunches?

Don't deny me! You might be taking advantage of that envious privilege, but not everyone can do it like you, alright?!

............

Are you all going out to see the cherry blossoms?

I guess that's the plan.

That sounds like so much fun.

You girls should come with us.

Are you sure?! Then I have to make lunches! It's not a cherry blossom viewing party without a picnic.

Let's see, I can bring red-bean sweet rolls, white bread, bananas, chocolate...

Oh, Tatsuki! I can bake you your favorite apple pie!

You're such a sweet girl. But you really don't have to make anything for me.

Hehe! I can't wait!

Can you make it too, Uryu?

No, I need to-

Why not? Let's all hang out together once in a while!

Unless... Don't tell me you're going on a date! Is it a date with a girl?!

No!

Fine, I'll go. I hope that makes you happy.

Alright! It's decided then!

Come on, everyone! Over here!

What the... Hey!!! What the hell are you doing here?!

Hello, Orihime! What a coincidence.

Hi, Shinji!

Oh, you're all here to have a picnic with the cherry blossoms too?

Heya, Carrot-Top!

Hi, Hachi. Thanks for the other day.

Oh, no. It was nothing.

What kind of get-together is this?

Who are these wild looking people? Are they your friends, Shinji? Wait, Ichigo and Orihime, you know them too?!

Yeah, kind of. I didn't expect to run into them here, though.

I thought you said this was a secret spot that no one knew about. Come on, Keigo. Get it together.

It's not my fault!

Wait, hold on. I'll take care of this!

Hey, uh. You there, the girl with the blonde pig-tails. Are you Shinji's younger sister?

Sister?

So uh, I don't want to sound rude or anything, but I was wondering if you can let us use this spot. Maybe even just a few hours.

Did you just call me "Shinji's younger sister?!" Say something stupid like that again and I'll rip your hair out!

Aiyeeee! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!

There, there. Calm down, Hiyori.

Stay out of this! Did you even hear what he said to me?

He thinks that I'm Shinji's sister! I am way too cute to be related to him. Talk about rude!

Yeah, no way I'm related to this little monkey.

What?!

You both need to relax.

What's the deal with this brat anyway?!

Well, I was just hoping we could have this spot for our picnic.

Hah! You want this spot that badly? Then we can fight for it!

Eek! What's wrong with this kid? She's scary! Save me, Ichigo!

What's going on? How did it all end up like this?
