((City pass payment (1/2)))
"Nipah~!"
"Woah!", Keiichi was startled out of his sitting position by a small girl with long blue hair. "Rika-chan?"
"What's wrong, Keiichi. If you space out for too long someone will draw on your face.", she said with her usual smile on her face. "Ah, no it's nothing.", rather unconvincingly. "I was just thinking about something.", he said as it seemed as if he would go deep into thought again.
"Mii? What about?", Rika said innocently. He figured she would ask that, so he smiled a little. "I was just thinking about how moving to Hinamizawa has made me happy I guess."
"Really? Is it that different from the city."
"There is a huge difference! Here, almost everyone knows each other. Here, everyone helps each other. Here, I learned for the first time that air can have a taste to it. Plus, I got to have you and everyone else as friends. What more could I ask for?" Keiichi stated with a huge grin on his face. He was definitely more alive here then back in the city. Especially after that incident.
Rika smiled, "That is good then, nipah~!" she said raising her hands like a cats.
He started laughing but was interrupted by someone shouting. "HEY! Kei-chan, what are you doing? We are all waiting for you so we can play Zombie tag!", said a girl with long green hair in a ponytail. Suddenly feeling irritated he shouted back, "I was waiting for you to get ready since you're slow Mion!". At that she seemed even more irritated then before.
"Oh really, then how about we up the punishment game a little Kei-chan?", you could just hear the evil smirk on her face. Feeling confident he smirked back.
"Really? What did you have in mind then?" He was excited but also fearing for his life at the thought of another punishment game.
"Oh, it's simple. If I manage to turn you into a "zombie" by the time the bell rings, you will have to wear a long pink dress on your way home from school!" He was horrified just at the very thought of doing that. Damn, he really didn't want to do that. But in that case, he had the perfect plan if he won instead. Of course, Rika was still just smiling as if this was normal to her.
"Then, if I manage to stay "alive" I'll have you wearing a bikini on your way home from school." Yeah, his smirk is reaching massive levels right now. Mion, was a bit shocked before she recovered quickly. "Then we have a deal?"
"Yes, I believe we do." They then proceeded to shake hands on it before she went on ahead leaving him alone with Rika again.
Remembering she was there he looked down to see her just as she said with a mature adult voice unfitting of someone only 10 years old, "Definitely, the worlds were you transfer to Hinamizawa are much happier then when you never do..." He stood there confused, "...It seems I can't really follow what you are say sometimes, Rika-chan." At that she instantly brightened up mature voice completely gone as if it was never there, smiling as she said, "It's a secret between us, nipah~!"
At that he couldn't help but laugh a little. It was true though, that moving here was the best decision he could have made.

[he wakes up with a sad yet happy feeling as that dream brought back memories of when life was simply fun. he looks to be smiling a bit and seems to be a little lost in thought as he keeps thinking about how his friends are doing. at that he frowns though and rests his head on his arm. he doesn't notice his dreamberry in on either because he is that spacey right now]
