The Tunnel Of Love. Cookie Trade!

Back inside the fun house, Hikigaya makes his way up the stairs and to the net bridge to the slide while holding his face.

Hikigaya "Please don't be something that'll hurt me…"

Shiori "Come on slowpoke. You're falling behind."

She says from halfway through the bridge on all fours.

Hikigaya "I'll show you slowpoke…"

He then dives onto the net bridge and bounces Shiori. She freaks out a bit while trying to maintain her balance.

Shiori "Hey! Watch it, don't break the whole thing!"

Hikigaya "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted me to rush?"

He says sarcastically while quickly making his way to her on all fours as well. She gets surprised by his speed and worryingly picks up her pace. Right before the end of the net bridge, she looks back to see him right on her.

Shiori "Slow down or you'll-"

Hikigaya "I'll what? Beat you to the slide?"

He says before tripping on the edge and falling into Shiori causing them both to go falling down the slide.

Shiori "Hikigaya!"

She yells as they tumble down the slide until they pop out the end and she falls on top of him.

Hikigaya "See? I told you I'd win."

Shiori "Yeah right. I totally won."

They say while inches away from each other.

Haru "Ahem."

They look up to see Haru and Sugawara giving them smug looks. They then look at each other and blush before getting up quickly and dusting themselves off.

Shiori "It was Hikigaya's fault."

Hikigaya "It was not!"

Haru "Okay lovebirds, I believe you."

Shiori/Hikigaya "We are not lovebirds!"

Sugawara "Anyway, put these on."

He puts his hands out holding two blindfolds. They look at them confused.

Hikigaya "Blindfolds?"

Shiori "What do we need these for?"

Haru "Oh, we just have this fun ride we want you guys to try."

Sugawara "We can't have you spoiling the surprise, can we?"

Shiori rolls her eyes as Hikigaya ties the blindfold on.

Hikigaya "Okay, but if you make me look dumb, I swear I'll beat both your asses, got it?"

Haru "Yeah, yeah, just take me hand."

Haru grabs Hikigaya's hand as Sugawara takes Shiori's and they lead them to the Romantic River Ride of Love ride. They sit them in the goose seat on the water as the ride attendant giggles with them. The lap bar is locked in as they step back. The ride attendant gives them a thumbs up.

Haru "Alright, you can take the blindfolds off!"

He shouts from a distance as they do. They look around confused for a moment.

Hikigaya "Hearts?"

Shiori "A river?"

Hikigaya "Hearts!? Damn you guys! This is that dumb romance ride or whatever, isn't it?!"

He shouts as he shakes the ride in the water. Shiori freaks out a little and grabs Hikigaya.

Shiori "Hey! Stop shaking the boat! There's nothing we can do about it now."

Hikigaya calms down and slumps in his chair.

Hikigaya "Those guys are assholes…"

Shiori "Considering what they could have done, this isn't the worst thing."

Hikigaya "Yeah but what if people get the wrong idea? What if they think we're… dating or something?"

Shiori blushes a tiny bit and looks ahead.

Shiori "I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing…"

She says under her breath.

Hikigaya "What did you say?"

Shiori "Nothing. Let's just get this ride over with."

They sit and look around as they slowly float through the tunnel lit up by heart lights and archways.

Shiori "This ride is actually kind of creepy, isn't it? Haha!"

She laughs as Hikigaya agrees.

Hikigaya "Haha, yeah…"

He looks at her for a moment and blushes.

Hikigaya 'She's… so cute.'

He thinks to himself. The lights fade in and out from the light pink color, creating a soft darkness every now and then. Hikigaya gets nervous as he takes a deep breath.

Hikigaya 'Shiori, please don't hate me but… I'm gonna kiss you on the cheek.'

He blushes as he turns to her. He stares for a moment as he waits for the lights to fade again. Once they do he scoots a little closer and leans to her. Shiori notices and turns to face him only to be met with a kiss on her lips. She blushes as her eyes grow wide and the lights brighten back up. Once the lights fade again, Hikigaya pulls back, his eyes still closed. He opens them as Shiori stares at him with intense blush across her cheeks.

Shiori "What… was that..?"

Hikigaya is blushing a bit too as he looks away.

Hikigaya "It was a thanks for… helping me back then…"

She still stares at him in shock from the kiss. Hikigaya notices and gets embarrassed even more.

Hikigaya "What? It's not a big deal, it's just a kiss on the cheek."

Shiori then stiffens up.

Shiori 'A kiss on the… cheek?!'

She then looks forward and sits as normally as she can. Freaking out but not trying to make it known.

Shiori "Oh, yeah, of course! I mean, where else would you kiss me? You only kissed me on my cheek!"

She blushes more intensely as she looks away from him embarrassedly. Hikigaya seems confused but doesn't ask as the ride comes to an end.

Ride Attendant "I hope you lovebirds enjoyed your romantic cruise."

They say with a smile. Shiori growls at them as they freak out before they leave the boat.

Haru "So, how was it for you two?"

Sugawara notices Shiori marching towards them at an angry pace and begins to walk away as Haru stays smiling. She then winds up her leg and kicks Haru into the atmosphere.

Shiori "You jerks!"

Sugawara sidesteps to Hikigaya who also has a confused look on his face.

Sugawara "What happened?.."

Hikigaya "I actually have no idea."

As they continue through the park, group C makes their way to a gift shop. Suiyoubi finds some cool spike wrist cuffs while Alice puts on a new cape and jumps around. Tsuki just stands there with an irritated look.

Tsuki "I should be out there romancing Shiori. It's Valentine's Day!"

Mormo "Look kid, I don't know if you know this, but I happen to be a master of love."

Tsuki "What? Really?"

Mormo "Oooh yeah. Back where I came from, dames of all kinds would want a piece of me. And that's because I'm, what some might call, a master of the way of women."

Tsuki "Well then what do you think I should do?"

Mormo "I'll tell you what, you get me some of those cheese crackers over there, and I might just tell you what you need to know."

Tsuki rolls his eyes and buys the crackers. Mormo takes them and starts eating.

Tsuki "Alright, now spill."

Mormo "Okay, okay. Here's what you need to know."

He begins telling Tsuki his 'secrets' as Kitaro and Hisana sit outside in the warm sun. Kitaro is on his phone playing games.

Hisana "Hey Kitaro. Why don't you like me?"

Kitaro "Cause you don't like anyone. You hit on every cute guy you meet and your crush changes faster than a shifters does in Battlecoms."

Hisana "You know I don't understand your game references."

Kitaro gives her a look before going back to his phone. Hisana pouts.

Hisana "Fine then, I guess you don't want my cookies."

Kitaro "If you made them then I think it's best if I don't eat them."

Hisana "Why are you always so mean to me?!"

She says as she hits him in the arm repeatedly. Group A rides a roller coaster as Touma cries, holding tightly onto the lap bar. Group B laughs as they spin in a spinning ride. Sugawara looks nauseous as they get off. He rushes to a trash bin and pukes in it as Haru holds his hair and rubs his back while awkwardly laughing. Shiori shakes her head as Hikigaya laughs at him. Back with group C, the day eventually comes to an end as they make their way back to the tree spot they agreed to meet up at. Group A soon meets them followed by group B.

Chizuru "That was so much fun!"

Haru "The rides were amazing!"

Chizuru/Haru "Don't you think?"

They look at Touma and Sugawara who are both slumped on the cement wall around the tree. They give weak, shaky thumbs ups as Chizuru sighs and Haru giggles.

Alice "I felt like I was flying on the rides!"

Ryuji "I had a good time too."

Lucy "I'm glad you guys had fun, but now it's time for the best part! Get out your cookies and pass them out!"

She says excitedly as the others get excited too. Chizuru pulls out her cookies and takes a bite.

Chizuru "So yummy!"

Ryuji pulls out his and hands them to Lucy who takes them with pleasure.

Lucy "I can't wait to see what you did this year!"

Ryuji "You eat my food all the time. What's different during Valentine's?"

Lucy "It's not just food. It's extra special when I know you made it thinking of me."

She says as she gets close to him. He blushes and looks away. Touma then gives his cookies to Chizuru. She looks confused for a second before smiling.

Chizuru "These are for me?"

Touma "Y-yeah… I'm not asking you o-out or anything…"

She gives him a soft smile before taking them.

Chizuru "Thank you."

She takes one out and bites into it before smiling wide.

Chizuru "So good! My favorite!"

She says happily. Touma blushes and smiles as she enjoys his cookies.
