Chapter 13 “Call everybody and tell them we’re having a group outing today,” Junjun ordered the other panda as she took out a cigarette and pushed it inside her mouth.
“Aw, do I have to call?” Linlin complained, taking out her cell phone. “Can’t I just mass text everybody instead?”
“Do whatever you need to do to get in touch with every single one of my girls,” the yankii rephrased, sighing. “We’re going to meet up at the park, and we’ll all do something fun together.”
“What’s with the sudden outing, Senpai?” Aika questioned.
“I don’t know, I felt bored,” Junjun shrugged. “It’s been a while since the whole gang met up. Since a couple of us are in different schools, it’s hard to stay bonded.”
“Okay, I texted everyone,” Linlin announced, slapping her cell phone shut. “By the way, Jun-senpai, you know we’re still in the front field of the school, right?”
“Yeah, what about it?”
Linlin pointed to the cigarette in Junjun’s mouth to answer as Aika nervously looked around. It was the end of the school day, so there were a lot of girls leaving Morning Gakuen for the day. The three girls were standing near the gate wall, planning what they were going to do after school.
“It’s not lit yet,” Junjun reassured. “The teachers are easy on me for something like this.”
“Hey, look over there!” Aika suddenly said, jabbing a finger towards the school entrance. “It’s Reina-senpai!”
The two pandas turned to the front door to see a petit girl with long straight hair, walking out of the building. She had a black headband with a small bow on it. She was walking towards the front gate, ready to go home like the rest of the students.
“We should ask her to join us today,” Linlin suggested. “The others will be happy to see Tanaka-senpai again too!”
“Not a problem with me,” Junjun grinned.
“I’ll go get her!” Aika volunteered. She started to shift into her sprint mode before a different voice called the name of her victim.
“Reina!”
“Aika, wait!”
The yankii leader stopped her underdog just in time to watch Reina’s lips grow into a smile. The petit girl skittered over to the front gate where the person who had called her name stood. It was a lanky boy wearing baggy jeans with high-top sneakers. He was wearing a navy blue sweater that was a couple sizes bigger than what he should actually wear. He had a red cap on, which hid most of his face but not all; his eyes were a little too big to be a boy’s as well as his skin being too white.
“Isn’t that the boy we saw before at the park?” Linlin remarked.
Junjun and the other two girls watched as Reina said something to the boy who said something back while scratching his head. The kitty’s smile grew bigger then, as her cheeks blushed slightly pink.
“Is Reina-senpai… blushing?” Aika gasped. “That’s not something you see every day.”
“And as it is such a rare occasion,” Junjun grinned, “we’re just going to leave them alone today.”
“What? Why?” Linlin complained. “I want to go meet the boy…”
“Me too!” Aika argued. “I’m curious about the person who finally melted Reina-senpai down!”
“You know we’ll get another chance sooner or later,” Junjun said. “We’ll just leave for today. After all, she looks really happy right now… She deserves some of that, doesn’t she?”
“… I guess…” Aika and Linlin sighed together.
“Don’t worry,” the head panda smirked. “We’ll get a chance to tease them later…”

“Eri!” Reina exclaimed, running up to the turtle. “Did your school end already?”
“I wanted to leave a little early,” Eri grinned. She had sneaked out of gym class at the last ten minutes and had quickly changed to run right over to Morning Gakuen.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Reina raised an eyebrow, thinking of her silenced cell phone in her backpack.
“I wanted to surprise you,” Eri answered again, shrugging.
“So, why are you here?” Reina asked.
“I… um… wanted to see you…” the turtle answered, mumbling this time as she scratched her head.
The kitty stared for a while before bursting into giggles. She could feel her cheeks feeling a little warmer, but it wasn’t embarrassment. It wasn’t anything uncomfortable either. It was more like… bliss. This boy had come to pick her up at school because he wanted to see her. Well, that was certainly something new.
“Not bad at all, pretty boy,” Reina grinned. “Alright, you won me over for the rest of the day. What are we going to do?”
“Well, actually… I didn’t have anything specific in mind,” Eri mumbled, scratching the back of her head again. “I mean, I felt like anywhere was fine… I just… uh… wanted to see you.”
This made the kitty blush again as the turtle’s cheeks also turned soft pink. The ex-yankii smiled as she looked down at her feet for a while, trying not to seem too overjoyed. She cleared her throat and looked up.
“Well, I guess we can just walk around the shopping district or something,” Reina said, keeping her voice nice and even. “Let’s go.”
“Sounds good,” Eri agreed.
As the shorter girl turned and started to walk out of the gate, the turtle quickly followed behind, trying to walk as much like a boy as possible.
** ** **
“So what do you think?” Reina asked, holding up two different dresses in front of herself. “Beige or pink?”
“For that dress, I think beige looks better,” Eri said sincerely. “I really think the pink is a little to electric for that kind of outfit…”
Reina raised an eyebrow at the turtle’s fashion sense as Eri gasped, realizing how casually she had spoken.
“But what do I know?” she quickly said, laughing nervously. “I mean, guys don’t know anything about this… and I’m a guy… so I don’t know anything… about this… ha-ha…”
“Uh-huh…” Reina smirked, merely intrigued by Eri’s awkward behavior, but not really suspecting much. “I’m going to go try this on.”
The yankii turned and walked towards the changing rooms with a bunch of other outfits that she had already picked out. The turtle followed right behind her, trying to put as much swagger into her walk as possible. The two teenagers were inside a women’s clothing store that Reina had been drawn to while they were walking down the streets. Eri had to resist the urge to pick up some of the clothes herself, since they were so pretty but she was a boy at the moment. Reina entered one stall and closed the curtains as Eri stood outside, leaning against the wall across the booth.
“You were right, Eri!” the kitty called from the other side of the curtains. “Beige is a more a suitable color for this kind of dress.”
“Are you done changing?” Eri asked.
“Yeah… but there’s a problem,” Reina said. The curtain suddenly shifted open, revealing the shorter girl with her hands over her chest, trying to hold the dress up. She turned around and Eri almost had a nosebleed, for she revealed her bare back with her white bra showing. “I can’t reach the zipper. Can you close the dress for me?”
“I, uh… um… sure, yeah… uh… yeah…” Eri stammered, slowly walking closer to Reina.
She reached for the zipper that was near the petit girl’s waist and slowly pulled it up, trying to prevent it from getting stuck. Her eyes immediately started to explore the flawless skin of the kitty’s smooth back. She also couldn’t help but stare at the bra hook a little. She pulled the zipper all the way up before attempting to compose her face in front of the girl she liked.
“Thanks,” Reina smiled.
“No problem,” the turtle mumbled, adjusting the cap on her head.
“Are you feeling alright?” Reina asked. “Your face looks a little red.” She reached out and cupped Eri’s cheek, which only made her temperature rise higher. “Oh my gosh, you’re burning up! Do you have a fever?”
“No, I’m fine, Reina,” Eri quickly said, backing away a little before she could seriously lose herself. “It’s nothing. It’s just a little stuffy in here, that’s all.”
“It’s not stuffy in here,” Reina contradicted. Then, a smirk slowly spread across her lips. “Unless… you’re not sick and you’re just blushing!”
“Why would I blush?” Eri denied, trying to make her voice sound even and failing miserably at it.
“You tell me; I don’t know how the minds of boys these days work,” Reina grinned mischievously. “So why? Was it the fact that I was so close to you?”
The kitty started to walk closer and closer to the turtle who slowly backed away to the wall with wide eyes. Reina licked her lips a little before continuing, as did Eri who swallowed hard.
“Was it the fact that I asked you to help me get dressed?” the petit girl said. “Or was it just the fact that my back was bare for only you to see? Was it my skin? Or maybe it was even my bra, huh?”
At this point, Reina’s face was only an inch away from Eri’s face. The turtle held her breath as she took in the ex-yankii’s flowery scent. She swallowed again as her cheeks blushed. Reina smirked.
“Did it turn you on, pretty boy?” she whispered. “You have to hold out longer than that.”
Reina winked before she giggled and went behind the curtains again to change back to her uniform. Eri’s legs gave out as she sank down to the floor, breathing heavily. She put her hands over her cheeks; the heat was practically irradiating off her skin. She was completely wrapped around the kitten’s wasn’t she?
What do I do? Eri thought.
How am I supposed to keep quiet about my feelings while even hiding my gender if she keeps on flirting with me? … Wait a minute. She’s flirting with me. Does that mean she likes me too? “Let’s go get something to eat,” Reina suggested, bursting out of the changing stall. Eri flew back up to her feet again and scratched her head, trying to look casual. The ex-yankii laughed. “That was major fail, pretty boy.”
“Sorry,” Eri apologized.
“It’s okay though,” Reina smiled, “because it was cute.”
Cute! Eri thought.
She thinks I’m cute! That’s a good thing, right? “Let’s go get some dinner,” Reina suggested again. “It’s almost time anyway. Just something simple, like a burger.”
“Whatever you want, I’ll do,” Eri grinned.
Absolutely whatever you want.** ** **
“You know, I can pay for my own food,” Reina grumbled, following Eri out of the fast food place. “I have my own money.”
“I know you do,” Eri said, rolling her eyes. “But I wanted to pay for our meal this time. Do you mind?”
The two students had just finished their quick dinner at the nearest fast food place. They had both ordered a meal with burgers and drinks. The turtle had insisted on paying for both meals while the kitty furiously argued back. But in the end, the “boy” had prevailed over the girl.
“I guess not…” the ex-yankii mumbled. “But you bought the ice cream last time too. Next time, I’m buying. I’m an independent girl and I don’t need a man to depend on!”
Well, I’m not a man so your philosophy doesn’t apply to me, Eri thought, smiling. “Suit yourself.”
“It’s getting late,” Reina sighed, checking her cell phone. “I should go home before it gets dark.”
“Okay,” Eri said, trying to hide her disappointment. “I guess… I’ll see you next time?” She knew Reina wasn’t a fan of giving out her address.
“Yeah…” the kitty answered. “Text me?”
“Definitely,” the turtle nodded.
Then, Eri turned around and started to walk away, resisting the urge to look back and feel sad all over again. But before she was even five feet away, something grabbed her hand and spun her around again.
“Hey,” Reina started, hesitating a little. “Um… do you want to… uh… come over for a while? To my place?”
“I thought it wasn’t easy getting a girl’s address,” Eri grinned, recalling the first day they had met.
“It’s not,” Reina smiled. “But you worked hard for it. We can have some tea or something.”
“Tea sounds nice,” the turtle nodded happily.
As Reina smiled in approval, the two teenagers started to walk down the street the same way, side by side. Eri noticed that the kitty still hadn’t let go of her hand yet, but she didn’t mind. She only squeezed back just as tightly.
