~Keiko~
“Keiko, I’m bored!” I looked over at Yumi, who was lying sprawled over my bed.
I sighed, “Then go home, no one’s stopping you.”
“Aw, Keiko. You’re so cruel,” she sulked. “If I go home I won’t get to spend as much time with you!” she jumped up and glomped me.
“Oomph,” I fell back onto the bed. “You’re heavy! Get off!” I giggled.
She shook her head, “Nuh uh.” And she started to tickle me.
I erupted in laughter. “Yumi... Stop... It!” I managed to get out between my bursts of laughter. The phone rang, and she stopped. “Thank you!” I cried, trying to catch my breath, while Yumi laughed at me. “Hello?” I picked up the phone.
“Ami!” I smiled, even though she couldn’t see me. “Uh huh. Yeah. Got it.” I listened to Ami explain about Keiji’s plan for a vacation. “And I absolutely have to go?” I asked her. “Right,” I sighed when she told me the answer. I looked over at Yumi, “and we can bring friends?”
“Who was that?” Yumi asked me as I hung up the phone.
“Ami,” I told her.
She looked like she was thinking about something, “Ami? ...The dog?”
“Yup,” I nodded. I had told Yumi about the zodiac not long after I had met her. Keiji found out, and now he absolutely hated her. Not that I cared what Keiji thought.
“Pack your bags Yumi!” I smiled. “We’re going on a vacation!”
