Meiko, it hasn’t been very long since Michael arrived But he already feels like he’s becoming part of the family , and it seems like my parents are just thrilled to death to have a temporary son living here. I guess this must be how it would feel to have a little brother Well, Miki, good night. I’m glad Michael’s here, but sometimes he really surprises me.

That’s my apron you’re wearing. Good morning , Miki. Michael You're in Japan now, you can’t just go around casually kissing people like that, I’m sorry, Miki, it’s just that it’s a normal custom where I come from You moms didn’t seem to mind it at all when I kissed them like that. Did you just say my moms? I don't get it, are you telling me that you’ve kissed my mom and Chiyako like that, too, Michael ? That’s what he’s saying. And my mom and Rumi were absolutely delighted I wish we had this kind of custom here. Me, too. The last time Yuu gave me a kiss , well, he was only this big. Hey, what are you looking at, you don't expect me to do that, do you? So did you kiss them? No way, are you out of your mind or something Miki. Huh? How would you like me to cook your eggs? Would you like them fried, in an omelet , or would you like them scrambled Scrambled would be fine. Okay, so does that really mean… that you actually made Yuu’s breakfast this morning ? That’s right, I enjoy cooking. And he’s a great cook too. Not to mention how fantastic the coffee tastes today. Well, thank you. You’re very welcome , Mr. Michael Gosh, they’re gorgeous Sometimes I can’t believe how extremely handsome they both really are. I could easily picture them on the cover of a magazine This is awful I just realized something terrible I’m so out of their league I’m not very pretty Michael is quite handsome I stink at cooking Michael is a great cook I’m Yuu’s girlfriend , but, Michael is much better for him than I am Your breakfast is almost ready, Miki. Yuu, would you like another cup of coffee I’ll get you some if you want it I guess so. It’s not really all that funny, Meiko. You can stop laughing now. I’m sorry, Miki, but it really is very funny I mean, come on, panicking that Michael is better than you is crazy, but it’s so like you. Yeah, but. Yes, it’s true that Yuu is very handsome So maybe he’s attractive even to another boy sometimes I know But getting jealous of Michael for that is really too much, Miki. And it isn’t all that fair to him either. And I’m sure deep down you really know that, don’t you? Yeah. Really, Meiko, you're just amazing sometimes , how do you know me so well Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’ve been your best friend since 7th grade. Oh, yeah. So, Miki, what do you say you tell me what’s really bothering you? Well, I haven’t really been able to talk with Yuu very much lately Michael being around does make it much harder for us to be alone. But that’s not it, I really feel like Yuu’s been, I don't know, like hiding something important from me, I mean sometimes his face’s so serious, it scares me. He’s worried about something , I know that But he’s not talking to me about it. Have you asked Yuu about what’s going on yet? No, it’s just too awkward It may seem that way, but don't you think you ought to find out what’s up? I don't know if I should I think you should ask him right now. Huh? I said I think you should ask him right this minute Look over there. Yuu. I think you two should find more time to be alone together at school I mean Michael is a grade behind you, isn’t he? Of course , you’re so right. Thanks so much, Meiko. Miki. Miki. Michael ? Oh, hi, good afternoon Your name’s Meiko, if I remember correctly Yes, it is. Good afternoon Miki, you’ve gotta help me What’s wrong? They’re chasing me What? Who’s chasing you? Them. I didn’t think it was possible for Japanese girls to be so out-going like this. It seems like the girls are cornering me everywhere I go in this country So, it’s kind of hard being popular with the girls , is it, Michael ? There he is. No, they found me out. Miki. Let’s go Why should I have to go What if I get lost trying to run away from those girls? We’ve gotta hurry But there’s no possible way, you see, I have an important thing that I Michael Is it possible that Michael really wants to be Miki’s boyfriend ? So, you’ve made your decision Yeah. I have a meeting with the principal after school and submitting all the necessary paperwork down. Wow, New York city. Um-hum. So if you find a really nice girl over there you let me know , I’ll be on the next fly over What? But didn’t you say that you already had your eye on a few hot college girls that you had seen around town recently? Well, you know what they say, the lager the plan field, the better your chances are, right? I have to find someone just like Meiko, so I have to keep all my options open. You got it. Have you told Miki about it yet? Not yet. It’s been really hard, I know I should’ve told her from the start, but I just keep chickening out. I don't know how to go about it. I guess I’m just too big a coward We both know that Miki is very open about showing her emotions, so I’ll bet she’s probably gonna cry. That’s for sure. We men don't do very well at all with women’s tears. I mean, that’s a giving. But… you still have to tell her, she deserves that. I know she does I’ll find a way to tell her today. Do have you seen it, Meiko ? No, It looks funny Yeah, but I can’t wait to see it. I’m exhausted Hey, what happened Miki? Michael dragged me all over the place all the entire lunch period , I’m so tired You’re kidding? You were running away from the girls that long? Yup.

Who’s that handsome guy? Michael Ah, there you are. See, Miki, you don't happen to have a Japanese to English dictionary , do you? I’m pretty sure I have one here Lucky me I thought you might have one boy, I’m glad that I decided to come and see you first This is great I’m sure that some of the girls in your fan club would have a few dictionaries too you know Yeah, but then they will all start arguing about whose dictionary I should be using Do you have any idea how scary they are to be around?

By the way, Yuu How are those fabulous parents of yours doing? Is everything going well? Fine. Yuu. Miki. Would you mind coming along with me today on the way home, so that I can go do a little bit of shopping I think that you’re quite capable of going shopping all by yourself , Michael You know, you can speak Japanese very well I know, but I want to check out a different place today and I thought you might want to come along with me What kind of different place are you talking about? Well, I heard about a supermarket that’s not too far from here that I’m told carrying some special stuff from America What so special you can get from a supermarket Don't you remember how Yuu said that he really liked what I made for breakfast this morning? Yeah, so So I thought it would be nice if I could make dinner for you guys and your parents tonight I was hoping to cook a special meal like I made back home It’s the least I can do since your family’s taking such good care of me Especially you, Miki Like today, for example I’m sorry, Miki The truth is I really love Japan but there are so many things I don't understand about your culture I’m aware that I must be a terrible burden to you sometimes And I know that I bothered you an awful lot today It’s just that, the person that I feel like I can rely on most while I’m here is you, Miki From the first moment we met I felt a connection with you So that’s why I Let’s get going all right, off to the supermarket I’m such a crip for thinking only of my own problems I guess I can always try to find some time to talk to Yuu at home. I don’t have the courage to ask him what’s really bothering him, So I guess I was just blaming it all on Michael What are we waiting for? Hey. Hold on. Well, it looks like we’re going to have a huge feast tonight. Well, we could make it a feast to congratulate Yuu. Huh, Yuu? Yeah, I heard all about it from my teacher today.
You know that Yuu’s gonna do the foreign exchange program like me.
What?
A foreign exchange program just like yours?
Does that mean Yuu’s going to America ? Miki.
Yuu, why did you decide to go to America without even bothering to tell me? If you go, we won’t be able to see each other for a long time You’re willing to sacrifice me, in order to be an architect

SOMEONE’S MESSING THINGS UP.
Oh, no, I overslept.
When it’s my turn to make breakfast , I gotta hurry.
I sure hope that Yuu’s not mad.
Sorry, I must’ve overslept.
Wow.
I see the sleepy head is finally awake.
That’s my apron you’re wearing.
Good morning , Miki.
Michael
You're in Japan now, you can’t just go around casually kissing people like that,
I’m sorry, Miki, it’s just that it’s a normal custom where I come from
You moms didn’t seem to mind it at all when I kissed them like that.
Did you just say my moms?
I don't get it, are you telling me that you’ve kissed my mom and Chiyako like that, too, Michael ?
That’s what he’s saying.
And my mom and Rumi were absolutely delighted
I wish we had this kind of custom here.
Me, too.
The last time Yuu gave me a kiss , well, he was only this big.
Hey, what are you looking at, you don't expect me to do that, do you?
So did you kiss them?
No way, are you out of your mind or something
Miki.
Huh?
How would you like me to cook your eggs?
Would you like them fried, in an omelet , or would you like them scrambled
Scrambled would be fine.
Okay, so does that really mean… that you actually made Yuu’s breakfast this morning ?
That’s right, I enjoy cooking.
And he’s a great cook too.
Not to mention how fantastic the coffee tastes today.
Well, thank you.
You’re very welcome , Mr. Michael
Gosh, they’re gorgeous
Sometimes I can’t believe how extremely handsome they both really are.
I could easily picture them on the cover of a magazine
This is awful
I just realized something terrible
I’m so out of their league
I’m not very pretty
Michael is quite handsome
I stink at cooking
Michael is a great cook
I’m Yuu’s girlfriend , but, Michael is much better for him than I am
Your breakfast is almost ready, Miki.
Yuu, would you like another cup of coffee
I’ll get you some if you want it
I guess so.
It’s not really all that funny, Meiko.
You can stop laughing now.
I’m sorry, Miki, but it really is very funny
I mean, come on, panicking that Michael is better than you is crazy, but it’s so like you.
Yeah, but.
Yes, it’s true that Yuu is very handsome
So maybe he’s attractive even to another boy sometimes
I know
But getting jealous of Michael for that is really too much, Miki.
And it isn’t all that fair to him either.
And I’m sure deep down you really know that, don’t you?
Yeah.
Really, Meiko, you're just amazing sometimes , how do you know me so well
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’ve been your best friend since 7th grade.
Oh, yeah.
So, Miki, what do you say you tell me what’s really bothering you?
Well, I haven’t really been able to talk with Yuu very much lately
Michael being around does make it much harder for us to be alone.
But that’s not it, I really feel like Yuu’s been, I don't know, like hiding something important from me, I mean sometimes his face’s so serious, it scares me.
He’s worried about something , I know that
But he’s not talking to me about it.
Have you asked Yuu about what’s going on yet?
No, it’s just too awkward
It may seem that way, but don't you think you ought to find out what’s up?
I don't know if I should
I think you should ask him right now.
Huh?
I said I think you should ask him right this minute
Look over there.
Yuu.
I think you two should find more time to be alone together at school
I mean Michael is a grade behind you, isn’t he?
Of course , you’re so right.
Thanks so much, Meiko.
Miki. Miki.
Michael ?
Oh, hi, good afternoon
Your name’s Meiko, if I remember correctly
Yes, it is. Good afternoon
Miki, you’ve gotta help me
What’s wrong?
They’re chasing me
What? Who’s chasing you?
Them. I didn’t think it was possible for Japanese girls to be so out-going like this.
It seems like the girls are cornering me everywhere I go in this country
So, it’s kind of hard being popular with the girls , is it, Michael ?
There he is.
No, they found me out.
Miki. Let’s go
Why should I have to go
What if I get lost trying to run away from those girls?
We’ve gotta hurry
But there’s no possible way, you see, I have an important thing that I
Michael
Is it possible that Michael really wants to be Miki’s boyfriend ?
So, you’ve made your decision
Yeah.
I have a meeting with the principal after school and submitting all the necessary paperwork down.
Wow, New York city.
Um-hum.
So if you find a really nice girl over there you let me know , I’ll be on the next fly over
What? But didn’t you say that you already had your eye on a few hot college girls that you had seen around town recently?
Well, you know what they say, the lager the plan field, the better your chances are, right?
I have to find someone just like Meiko, so I have to keep all my options open.
You got it.
Have you told Miki about it yet?
Not yet.
It’s been really hard, I know I should’ve told her from the start, but I just keep chickening out.
I don't know how to go about it.
I guess I’m just too big a coward
We both know that Miki is very open about showing her emotions, so I’ll bet she’s probably gonna cry.
That’s for sure.
We men don't do very well at all with women’s tears.
I mean, that’s a giving.
But… you still have to tell her, she deserves that.
I know she does
I’ll find a way to tell her today.
Do have you seen it, Meiko ?
No,
It looks funny
Yeah, but I can’t wait to see it.
I’m exhausted
Hey, what happened Miki?
Michael dragged me all over the place all the entire lunch period , I’m so tired
You’re kidding? You were running away from the girls that long?
Yup.
We hid behind a shrub
And ran around the rooftop
Those girls will really hate me now
It was just terrible
So did you get a chance to talk to Yuu?
Miki.
Can I talk to you for a minute ?
Sure, what about?
Never mind, we will talk later
Hurry up.
I’m hurrying
I wonder what Yuu wanted to tell me
I’ll bet it has to be about what’s bothering him
I’m really feeling nervous about this
But I’ve gotta be brave and ask him
Miki. Miki.
Miki?
Who’s that handsome guy?
Michael
Ah, there you are.
See, Miki, you don't happen to have a Japanese to English dictionary , do you?
I’m pretty sure I have one here
Lucky me
I thought you might have one
boy, I’m glad that I decided to come and see you first
This is great
I’m sure that some of the girls in your fan club would have a few dictionaries too you know
Yeah, but then they will all start arguing about whose dictionary I should be using
Do you have any idea how scary they are to be around?
I guess, a little
Hi.
Hey, Yuu
Here it is, Michael
Now remember when you look at the page…
Why don't you introduce me to him?
Hey, not so fast, I saw him first
Ah, I did
Come on, girls, there’s plenty for all of us.
So is this the exchange student you’ve been telling us about who’s staying with you
Sure is, this is Michael Grant , everyone
Hello, Michael and welcome
Hello and thank you
You have beautiful eyes
Yeah, you sure do
He’s living with you, right
Yeah.
Not again
Go.
Miki. Miki.
Hello, Michael , what is it this time?
We’re getting ready to play soccer in the gym, it’s totally my favorite sport, you wanna watch me play a little from the window
Yeah, yeah,
Don't forget now
Watch my soccer game, guys
Sure.
Again
Hey, Miki, you wanna hit a few volleys with me before practice today?
I’m sorry, Ginta, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to skip practice
Is something wrong, Miki?
Not at all
I just have a little errand to run
Oh, okay
It’s gotta be difficult for your family now, having to put up with that weird exchange student so much
he’s just different
But anyway , Ginta,
Yeah?
Know where Yuu is?
No, why do you ask?
I looked all over for him when I was getting ready to leave and he wasn’t anywhere to be found
But I saw his bag so he must be around here somewhere
Sorry, Miki, I just don't know
All right
Hey, I’ll tell you what, if I do see him, I’ll tell him you are looking for him, okay?
Would you?
Sure. We can always work on our volleys some other time
Okay
It’s a promise then
You got it
I’m sorry, Ginta
But I really need to talk to Yuu today
I wanted to leave with him, but where did he go
You do have all the necessary paperwork and it seems to be an order
let me be the first to congratulate you, I wish you the best and hope you have a wonderful experience at St. Andrew’s High School
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I believe very strongly , studying abroad is a rare and valuable experience that in which everybody’s life would get a chance to do it.
I agree. I’m very excited
I’m sure you are.
By the way, Yuu
How are those fabulous parents of yours doing?
Is everything going well?
Fine.
Yuu.
Miki.
Would you mind coming along with me today on the way home, so that I can go do a little bit of shopping
I think that you’re quite capable of going shopping all by yourself , Michael
You know, you can speak Japanese very well
I know, but I want to check out a different place today and I thought you might want to come along with me
What kind of different place are you talking about?
Well, I heard about a supermarket that’s not too far from here that I’m told carrying some special stuff from America
What so special you can get from a supermarket
Don't you remember how Yuu said that he really liked what I made for breakfast this morning?
Yeah, so
So I thought it would be nice if I could make dinner for you guys and your parents tonight
I was hoping to cook a special meal like I made back home
It’s the least I can do since your family’s taking such good care of me
Especially you, Miki
Like today, for example
I’m sorry, Miki
The truth is I really love Japan but there are so many things I don't understand about your culture
I’m aware that I must be a terrible burden to you sometimes
And I know that I bothered you an awful lot today
It’s just that, the person that I feel like I can rely on most while I’m here is you, Miki
From the first moment we met
I felt a connection with you
So that’s why I
Let’s get going all right, off to the supermarket
I’m such a crip for thinking only of my own problems
I guess I can always try to find some time to talk to Yuu at home.
I don’t have the courage to ask him what’s really bothering him,
So I guess I was just blaming it all on Michael
What are we waiting for?
Hey. Hold on.
Well, it looks like we’re going to have a huge feast tonight.
Well, we could make it a feast to congratulate Yuu.
Huh, Yuu?
Yeah, I heard all about it from my teacher today.
You know that Yuu’s gonna do the foreign exchange program like me.
What?
A foreign exchange program just like yours?
Does that mean Yuu’s going to America ?
Miki.
Yuu, why did you decide to go to America without even bothering to tell me?
If you go, we won’t be able to see each other for a long time
You’re willing to sacrifice me, in order to be an architect
