No, its nothing like that...

[ Sighing. ]

It just seemed like she had a tough time, growing up. But I didn't invite her into my house either!

[honokairo]

Oh... [That's sad to hear. Honoka can't completely identify with having a rough childhood, as the only rough times she's had was the war. But she understands.]

Maybe she has a strange way of showing that she wants company. You know, like when people make fun of each other and are mean to each other just because they actually secretly have a crush on them.

[It works like that right]

[cutiepanther]

W-Wait a minute, Honoka! T-There's no way that's a real thing. Normal people don't do things like that! S-She definitely d-doesn't think of me like that!

[ You can't just say something like that and expect Maki not to freak out. ]

[honokairo]

You mean you've never had a friend just show up to your house without telling you before? She doesn't have to have a crush on you to do that, Maki! I was just using that as an example!

[She's freaking out that's cute]

[cutiepanther]

Well...Nico always finds her way over to my house without an invitation, but I guess I don't mind that much when it's her..

[ Wonder why? ]

[honokairo]

Oh, I didn't know you were friends!

[NICO DID NOT MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE]

I'm glad you two are!

[cutiepanther]

I don't know if I'd call us anything like that..

[ Simply because they fight so often and Nico's ever said they were friend, unlike Nozomi who has made it clear they are friends. Or Honoka even. ]

[honokairo]

Why not, if she comes over and spends time with you?

[Isn't that what friends do...?]

[cutiepanther]

I-I don't know! It's not like we really get along all the time. We always argue about everything.

[ TWIRLING. ]

B-But I guess I could say that I don't always mind when she's here...

[honokairo]

That's okay! Some people just argue even though they like each other! [Platonic or romantic.]

Maybe you should tell her you enjoy her company sometimes!

[cutiepanther]

Sometimes people argue because they don't get along too!

[ And yet, Maki can't really say that she dislikes Nico, or at least, thinks that, even if she can't say it. ]

I-I-I can't do that!

[honokairo]

But why not? [She doesn't get ittttt]

She won't get mad will she? I know Nico is a little on the rough side, but she can be really nice too!

[cutiepanther]

[ What don't you get Honoka, both Maki and Nico are too tsun to admit their feelings! ]

H-How should I know how she will react. B-But I guess you could say that she is okay, sometimes..

[honokairo]

You won't know until you try. Go ahead Maki, tell her! Maybe you two will stop fighting as much.

[Get over your tsun Maki Honoka 'aint havin' it]

[cutiepanther]

I'll...think about it. Sometime.

[ She's so not gonna do it. ]

[honokairo]

Maki.... [Leans in close to the video. She doesn't believe her.]

Will you think about it? [PEERS AT HER]

[cutiepanther]

[ Don't lean so close, that's Kotori's thing!! ]

I-I said I will!

[honokairo]

Good! Because you two shouldn't fight at all!

[Yeah maybe it's inevitable but hey at least if they admit that they're friends the fighting will be...better...]

[cutiepanther]

It's not like I'm starting these fights! If you tried to spend time with her for ten minutes you would understand what it's like being around her.

[ Like being charmed by her cute act despite everything else. Oh wait, that's just Maki's reaction to Nico, probably not anyone else's. ]

[honokairo]

But I have! She's not so bad! She's really into idols, and taught me a few things. Just like you, Maki.

[She just compared you two lolol]

[cutiepanther]

You don't see her everyday like I do...

[ And yet Maki has never once told the other girl to leave her alone. ]

A-And we're not alike!

[honokairo]

If you say so! [She smiles. Look at your face, Maki.]

Anyway, I was calling because I thought it would be a really great idea to have a party! I didn't know where we could have it, unti Kyoko told me about the party at your house...

That you didn't have....

[cutiepanther]

W-Wait a minute Honoka! Just because my house is big it doesn't mean everyone can just come and go from it as they please!

[ ...Except that's exactly what Nico already does. ]

[honokairo]

But it's so big! It would be perfect! Then we can all hang out and have a sleepover!

[Wouldn't that be funnnnn]

Do you think your parents would say it's okay? It would be for just one night!

[cutiepanther]

A sleepover?!

[ Maki asks, like somehow she's too mature or something for one, despite being even younger than Honoka. But...a sleepover with friends is what normal girls do, isn't it? So why does she want to say yes? ]

I-If it's just one night... [ Looking away, hair twirling at 80% output. ]
