Written by: CS-Masyet
Ail: Drives Raena and her stuff to her house. This is the place, right?
Raena: Yeah, thanks. Takes her box out of the trunk. Could you help me bring it in?
Ail: Sure. Helps her bring her box in her room.
Raena: Thank you, Ail.
Ail: This is a nice house.
Raena: Yeah.
Ail: Well, I guess I'll be going now...
Raena: Wait, do you want to meet my sister?
Ail: Your sister? Sure.
Raena: Opens the door to her sister's room. She's not here... Checks the kitchen. Lisa, there you are!
Lisa: Making food. Oh, you got here earlier than I expected. Didn't you have trouble moving your stuff here?
Raena: Ail helped me.
Lisa: Ail...?
Ail: Hi.
Lisa: Oh, so this is your boyfriend! He's kinda cute.
Ail (blushing): ...huh?
Raena (blushing): N-no, he's not my boyfriend...
Lisa: Relax, I'm just teasing! Ail, would you like to join us for lunch?
Ail: That's alright, I wouldn't want to impose...
Raena: No, stay. Please?
Ail: Well... okay, if you say so.
Raena: Smiles.
Lisa: Hm...
Raena/Ail: Sit at the table.
Lisa: Here you go! Serves them food. It's stew.
Raena: Eats some. It's so good!
Ail: Eats some. Yeah, it is!
Lisa: Thanks! Sits down. So Raena, this is the guy you were talking about? The guy who helped you out?
Raena: Yeah, that's right.
Ail: You talked about me?
Raena: Yeah, I told her about about happened at the lake and that you helped me find out what really happened.
Lisa: She talked about you a lot. She said that you're such an amazing guy and that she couldn't have done it without you. She's said you're a great friend to her, but I think that there's more to that...
Raena (blushing): L-Lisa, you're embarassing me...
Lisa: Seriously though, I have to thank you. I've never seen her so happy before... Even before the incident at the lake, she didn't have many friends. She was always depressed and lonely all the time...
Ail: Really?
Lisa: Yeah. But it looks like she's gotten a ton of friends ever since meeting you.
Ail: I don't think I should take all the credit for that...
Raena: No, you've made me really happy Ail. Thank you. Smiles.
Ail (blushing): D-don't mention it...
Lisa: *giggle*
The doorbell rings.Raena: Who could that be?
Lisa: It must be dad and mom.
Raena: D-dad and mom? They're here?
Lisa: Yeah; I told them you were going to be living with me and they insisted they come visit.
Raena: I haven't seen them in so long...
Ail: Your parents are here to visit you? Do you want me to leave...?
Lisa: Don't you want to meet them?
Raena: You should, Ail. They're really nice.
Ail: Alright, I'll stay.
Dad/Mom: Come in.
Mom: Raena! Hugs Raena. I missed you, sweetie!
Raena: I missed you too, mom!
Dad: I'm glad that whole thing was sorted out...
Raena: It's thanks to Ail!
Dad: Ail? You mean this young man...?
Ail: Yeah, that's me. It's nice to meet you.
Mom: You're such a gentleman! Cute too! Raena, you're so lucky to be going out with someone like him!
Raena (blushing): N-no, it's not like that! We're only friends...
Mom: Really?
Lisa: She's totally head over heels over him.
Raena (blushing): L-Lisa!
Dad: You listen Ail, you'd better not try anything with my daughter! Do I make myself clear?
Ail: B-but I...
Raena: I already told you, we don't have that kind of relationship!
Lisa: Don't worry Ail, Dad really is a nice guy. Just overprotective, is all.
Ail: I see... Watch beeps. Ah, it's late! I should go now...
Mom: Already? It feels like we just got to know you...
Lisa: Feel free to visit whenever you want.
Ail: Okay, thanks.
Raena: See you tomorrow, Ail!
Ail: Yeah, see you. Leaves.
Mom: So he's the one who helped you straighten out everything at the lake, right?
Raena: Yeah. He gave me courage to stand up for myself...
Mom: That's great. He's such a nice guy. You shouldn't have been so mean to him, dear!
Lisa: Yeah, way to overdo it, dad...
Dad: Just because he saved her that one time doesn't mean that I'll let him get away with whatever he wants...
Raena: But there's nothing going on between us...
Dad: *sigh* (Ail, huh?)
Meanwhile, in Ail's room...Ran: Lying on his bed. I'm bored...
Taffy: Jumps on him. Ran!
Ran: Yah! W-what are you doing?!?
Taffy: Lying on Ran. The door was open.
Ran: So?!? Answer my question!
Tech: Comes in. Ail, are you back yet...?
Ran: Uh...
Tech: Oh... Sorry, I won't disturb you... Leaves.
Ran: That's not funny! Save me!
Taffy: C'mon, Ran! Let me see your schedule!
Ran: ...why?
Taffy: I want to know what classes you have!
Ran: Fine, just get off!
Taffy: Gets off him.
Ran: Shows her his schedule. Here.
Taffy: Reads it. Hm... Ah! Yay! Hugs Ran.
Ran: W-what?!? Not again!
Taffy: We have all the same classes!
Ran (shocked): N-no way...
Ail: Comes in. I'm back...
Ran: ...
Ail: ...Taffy, what are you doing?
Taffy: Just came to visit Ran.
Ail: It looks like more than "visiting" to me...
Ran: Please get her off me...
Ail: Taffy, get out please. I'm going to bed.
Taffy: Okay... Gets off the bed. See you tomorrow, Ran! Leaves.
Ran: Jeez... I guess I'll sleep too... Gets in the bed.
Ail: Gets in his bed. Hey, orchid* boy.
Ran: Orchid boy...?
Ail: Don't break that bed, understand?
Ran: Hey, it's not my fau-...
Ail: That bed used to be Raena's. Break it and I'll kill you.
Ran: R-Raena's...?
Ail: Anyway, good night. Turns off the light and falls asleep.
Ran (blushing): (T-this was Raena's bed? That cute girl slept in this very same bed...? I can't believe it, what are the chances?) *sigh* ... (W-wait a sec, that means she was sharing a room with Ail! What's up with that...?)
Ail (sleeping): Zzz...
Ran learns that Raena and Ail had once shared the same dorm room. Since Ran doesn't know about the lake incident, what kind of misunderstanding will this lead to?
