Misaki's Room (Misaki)
-Wait,what?!-
"W-What are you—"
-Try what?!-
-Great, she's getting a bit flustered now.-

Main Room (The Original Aichi Trio)
-The three of them simultaneous thank her for the cake again, before looking at the slices of cake in question.-
-...Time to dig in!-
-It's eerie how their movements are in absolute unison, but they each take a bite, and...-
"Ahhhhh! It's amazing!"
-Yep, they're all very impressed.-
Main Room (The Original Aichi Trio)
-R-Right, presents... The invitations were received so suddenly that none of them really had any idea what to do about them...-
-...Not to mention the only one out of them to have any money is Aichi, and he's not really sure what to get Marcia anyway...-
-...Oh, Young Aichi seems to be getting something out of his backpack!-
"I-I, um... I didn't know there was more than one Marcia, but..."
-He holds out a picture he drew. Good for an eight (now nine) year old, it shows Marcia and a bunch of their other friends all happy and smiling.-
"I-I'm sorry...! I-I can make more too..."!
-Aww... The kid feels bad that he didn't prepare more presents...-
-Aichi and Ai meanwhile look at each other nervously. Really, drawing's the only thing they can do, but Aichi's been avoiding his sketchbook because so many of the sketches remind him of...-
-...-
-...No, don't think about it, Aichi...-
-As if both Aichi and Ai silently could tell what the other was thinking they should do, they both nod.-
"A-All right..."
"...We'll be back soon...!"
-They start walking towards the stairs, but they both stop.-
-They didn't tell the other Marcias 'Happy Birthday'!-
"Happy Birthday!"
"Happy Birthday!"
-Then they rush upstairs, scrambling for Aichi's sketchbook (although Aichi's going to suffer doing this as he tries to find unused pages...).-
"H-Happy Birthday...!"
-It seems like Young Aichi's sticking around.-

Misaki's Room (Misaki)
"W-What?!"
-Wow, Misaki's dumbfounded about that one.-
-What the heck?!-
-M-Misaki doesn't...-
"S-Sthesia, you can't expect me to ask him out!"

Kitchen
Can you draw me kicking Flame Stag's butt?
W-why would you, um, ask that, Heat Lighter?
Because that punk needs to be put in his place. (smokes and blows a puff into Morph Moth's face.)
(She isn't affected because she's a Reploid. She sighs at the lazy lighter.)
A-after you're done with t-that, can you just draw a p-picture of me r-right now. (she's currently in her Silphymon form)
Misaki's Room (Misaki)
-S-She didn't even mean now! She just meant in general!-
"T-That's not what I meant!"
-How could they expect her to ever ask him out?! It's not like she wants to...-
-...-
-...Does she...?-
-...Guys, seems like she's still not quite there yet. She's still trying to deny it, but you're starting to get her to realize it.-

Main Room (Young Aichi)
-Young Aichi's trying, but it's clear that he's struggling a bit more with this one since he's never seen Flame Stag.-
-...Still, it seems like the picture of him is coming out shockingly well for someone that has never seen him before!-
-It isn't too long before he starts drawing Heat Man.-
Misaki's Room (Misaki)
-N-Nervous? What's she—-
-...Wait... she's been there?-
"...You have?"
-Misaki seems a tad dumbfounded by this. Especially considering Sthesia's always seemed strangely confident about romance (at least when she teased Misaki about it).-
-...Perhaps Misaki doesn't know as much about Sthesia as she would have thought...-
—
Main Room (Young Aichi)
-Annnnnnnnd...-
"I'm finished...!"
-Tadaaaaaa! Picture of Heat Man and Flame Stag! Although it looks less like a fight and more like they're just posing.-
-...It's a little eerie how accurate the Flame Stag is though...-

Misaki's Room (Misaki)
-...-
-What's she even supposed to do about any of that?-
-She highly doubts that Aichi likes her likes her. It's jumping the gun to assume such a thing.-
-She admits that Sthesia does have a point with the 'he should be with someone closer to home' thing though.-
"...L-Look, you guys can think that he might 'like' me or something, but it doesn't matter."
-He doesn't like her.-
-She... doesn't like him.-
-...In the end it doesn't matter. Not in the slightest...-
"He likes you, Sthesia. Even if you don't reciprocate, the fact of the matter is that you're the one he has feelings for."
-Not Misaki.-
-...Hey, guys. Does it seem like she's not denying liking him now?-
-The question is whether she's finally close to realizing how she feels about him or if she figured out it's absolutely futile to try to argue.-
-...Maybe both.-

Main Room (The Original Aichi Trio)
-All three exhale out of relief. So the cake wants to be eaten then...?-
-Really, this is all so strange...-
"I-I'm glad it won't hurt anyone...!"
-Aichi and Ai can pretty much be seen with anime sweat drops and sheepish smiles.-
"Y-You said that cakes like that are supposed to be really good?"
