Celebration (2)

***

Now engaged, Ken had decided to organize a party while in Japan to celebrate. He decided that he would invite all of his old friend's and teammates to a restaurant in Tokyo, going all out and booking a large room.

It was clear how much this meant to him since Ken was usually tight with his money. He was a little worried since it was short notice, and many were either still at university or playing professionally.

As he and Ai sat in the restaurant by themselves waiting, Ken tapped his foot anxiously as he waited for people to arrive.

"Why are you so nervous?" Ai asked, placing her hand upon his own.

"I'm not nervous…" He replied.

"Welcome guests, please come through." 

Ken heard the waitress speak beyond the closed door and suddenly shot to his feet in excitement, causing Ai to let out a small giggle in response.

The door opened and a short guy appeared, his arm interlocked with a woman.
