Masayoshi: If you don't hurry up, we're leaving you here!
Atsushi: blushing /sigh/ Mr. Shibata's so cool!

A small heart is thrown from Atsushi and bounces off Masayoshi who is trying to get away.

Kouji: goes closer in a flash Shibata, you're a great guy!
Masayoshi: (Ha ha ha) What was that? Go ahead, say it again.
Tooru: Masayoshi, what's your seat number?
Masayoshi turns away ignoring him.
Tooru: angry You just casually ignored me, didn't you? Masayoshi-kun.
Masayoshi: Must be your imagination, Tooru-kun.
(page)
Tooru: yelling Masami!! What's your seat number?!!
Masayoshi: holding him back Maa-chan, don't say it!!
Atsushi: Maa-chan already went ahead.
Kouji: How childish.
Masayoshi and Tooru have sweat drops and say nothing.
Inside the plane. Atsushi is on one side next to Kouji. Masayoshi and Masami are on the other side. And Tooru is right in the middle!
Atsushi: crying Mr. Shibata is so far away....
Kouji is whistling as if nothing happened.
Catherine: behind Tooru Hey Miss! Can I have some sake, please? SAKE!
Tooru: How do things happen like this?!?!
Masayoshi is whistling as if nothing happened.
Masami: Masayoshi, you set up some sort of trick, didn't you.

Atsushi: excited We'll soon be off the ground! (heart)
Kouji: really nervousI... I understand, so please stop saying, okay?!
Arrow pointing to Inagaki: (First time flyer.)
Announcement: Buckle your seatbelt like this.
Masayoshi: Why do I get this feeling that all I will be doing is babysitting?
Masami: With all these people, I don't think we (as in him and Tooru) will ever get to be alone...
Tooru: UGH! This is going to be a horrible gathering.
Catherine and Rena are behind him laughing and dancing.
Stewardess: PLEASE! Put on your seatbelt!!

Narrator: Arrival at the Honolulu International Airport.
Atsushi: Are you okay, Inagaki?
Inagaki is leaning over panting. Catherine is laughing and Tooru is holding back from throwing up. Two girls give leis to Masami and Masayoshi. One girl kisses Masami on the cheek and Masayoshi returns the kiss to the other girl.
Masayoshi: (and for you.)
Masami: From here we leave straight for the hotel by bus. Don't be late getting on.
Everyone rushes to the bus.
Masami: Wait! Stay to the side!
Masami: Don't Push!!
Masayoshi: (Fools.)
Masami: I didn't say you should hurry THAT much!!!
The buss leaves.

Tooru: Oh yeah! How will we split up the rooms?
(page)
Masayoshi: turning around Well, let's go eat some lunch!
Tooru: Ah! Why you...
A hand tugs on a shirt.
We then see that Masami is holding onto Masayoshi's shirt. Masayoshi is stopped in his track, a bit nervous/guilty.
Masami: I don't want to seem selfish, so we will do this fairly by lottery. Okay?
Masayoshi: really quilty ... Yes... Exactly.
Masami, Tooru, Masayoshi, Kouji and Atsushi are all in a circle.
Masami: Catherine, did you already divide the rooms there?
Catherine: OK! (heart)
Masami: And... flip!
They all flip over a piece of paper which has a letter of the alphabet on it.
(page)
Atsushi: Yeah! I am with Maa-chan.
Masami: Oh! That's right!
Kouji and Masayoshi: just looking at each other. .....
Catherine: to a shaking Tooru Pleased to be your roommate!
Masami: Well, after lunch, we'll check in.
Atsushi: (FOOD!)

At the lunch table, Catherine and Rena are chowing down.
Masami: Please remember your table manners!! MANNERS!! (Ah! Akkun! You don't have to eat like the others!)
View of the beach from a balcony.
(page)
In the room, Atsushi falls onto the bed. Masami is putting away his clothes.
Atsushi: The bed is really fluffy! (heart)
Atsushi: Say, Maa-chan?
Masami: Hmm.. what?
Atsushi: Truthfully, it would have been better if you were with Mr. Hagiwara, right?
Masami: blushing Uh.. I guess, but being with you is fun too.
Masami: Alone in private room with Tooru, huh...
Atsushi is staring at Masami as he is day dreaming
Masami: And it's Hawaii.. Tooru would be bolder and come a little closer...
Masami: covering his face with his shirt No! No! That's bad! AH! What should I do?!
Atsushi: looking at Masami curiously What's bad, Maa-chan?
(page)
A bottle of "Red Viper" (some kind of energy drink) is being opened
Kouji, in a towel, walks by Masayoshi who is sitting down smoking.
Masayoshi: That's not something you should drink right after a bath.
Inagaki: steam coming from his mouth If one doesn't take advantage of such perfect circumstances, then he becomes outdated.
(literally, Kouji said that If under such delicious circumstances, one does not visit a girl at her house under the cover of the night, (aka "Yobai") then he becomes outdated.)
Masayoshi: sarcastically (Oh, it sucks to mate all year round.) That's a fine line.. for a KID attempting to be a man..
Kouji: getting dressed and going to the balcony If you keep saying things like that you'll become an old man in no time! See ya!
Masayoshi: Hey, wait! How are you getting there?
Kouji: Going through the window should be fine! (heart)
Masayoshi: still sarcastic Only an idiot would actually use the front door.
(page)
Kouji: balancing on the balcony rail Wait for me, Atsushi!
Atsushi: on the other side of the partition separating the balconies MMmm! A nice breeze!
Kouji jumps!
Atsushi: Say, Maa-chan.. Can I sleep with you tonight?
Kouji: stopping in mid-jump SLEEP??
Masami: Sure. Okay.
Atsushi: yeah! really?
Kouji: falling WAAAAAHHH!!!
Atsushi: hm?
Kouji lands in some bushes, and there was a sound of something soft being stepped on.
(page)
Kouji: I must've made an error in my eye measurement. hm? Did I step on something?
A big dog comes out from the bushes, and it's angry because its paw is hurt.
Kouji: being chased by the dog Why do things happen this way?!
Masayoshi: in the room with the balcony door closed. Ah.. peace and quiet.
Outside the window are muffled screams and barking.
(page)
A hand is about to press a doorbell, but then stops
Tooru: (Ringing the bell is very simple.)
Arrow pointing to Tooru Just took a bath. (literally: shrewdly took a bath. - in the sense that the point for takingg a bath was for what will happen next!)
Note: Diagram of an idiot who uses the front door.
Tooru: (The hard part is the conversation.)
Tooru: I want to spend the tropical night with you.
Tooru: (Too conventional)
Tooru: I want to drink the daybreak coffee with you.
Tooru: (No. The expression is too sloppy.)
Tooru: holding his head in front of the door AH! Why can't I think of something more intelligent to say!
Catherine: With a face-mask on How un-cool.
Switch to Masami in bed, with Atsushi hugging him.

Atsushi: grabbing Masayoshi's arm. No.
(page)
Atsushi: Besides, I would just be in the way of Maa-chan and Mr. Hagiwara.
Masami turns around and blushes. Tooru's ear perks up.
Masami: Not.. really... right?
Sound of their nervous heartbeats.
Tooru: yeah..
Masayoshi: Well, I guess they'll be okay.
Masayoshi: Taking Atsushi and Kouji They'll be with the others...

Masayoshi: Oh! Arisawa's already giving up, eh?
Kouji: Atsushi! Come back!
