EPISODE 8 - Saturdays

*Emis is at the school clinic*

*He is sleeping soundly in bed*

Emis: *mumbles in sleep* When can I get a normal school life...

*Emis wakes up*

Emis: What happened?

*He remembers that he was saved by the princess*

Emis: Oh...Thank goodness. It's finally over, at least I can stop having nightmares of their deaths.

I wish I could've known the name of that princess though.

Emis: What time is it? *looks at clock*; it is 4:27 PM* Oh, it's dismissal time, time to go home. Wait, what are these? *looks at a table beside the bed; there are sticky notes* Oh, I see...

Daiki(on note): Get well soon bro, sorry I couldn't visit you, I had to go home early because my mom would get mad.

Of course.

Hiroto(on note): Get well soon, Emy-kun.

Ayaka(on note): Didn't I say that you avoid getting trouble? You're a hopeless case, cheesestick.

DON'T YOU DARE WORRY US AGAIN!

At least she wrote a sticky note...Well, time to go home.

*He is walking down the road*

I wonder she is. That princess. I remembered her face though.

*He is at bed*

I just can't stop thinking about her...Hmmm...Wait, doesn't she look a bit like...Hiroto! She must be one of his relatives! Better ask him tomorrow. oh...what date is it today? *looks at calendar* It is July 31 and it's...a Friday?! It looks like I can't ask him tomorrow and he almost never answers my calls or messages.

Emis: *sighs* Too bad.

There's just something about her...like I've met her before...Well, time to sleep.

*Emis tucks himself to sleep*

*The next day*

*Emis is awake on his bed*

Emis: What time is it?

*Looks at clock*

Emis: It's 7;19 AM. Wait...It's Saturday...Which means it's...

Mom: MIIIIIKUUUU!

*Emis is shocked*

Oh no...

*Mom reaches his room with shining red eyes*

Mom: It's...CHORES TIME!

Emis: NOOOOOO!

*Emis starts doing his chores*

Chore 1: Take out the trash.

*Emis runs to the garbage can with his hands both full of trash bags*

*Oops, he slips on a banana peel*

*The trash bags got holes and half of the trash of each trash bag fell out*

Oh no...

Dad: SON! We are men! We pick trash...WITH OUR BARE HANDS!

Emis: But...

Dad: No buts!

My hands...He sounded like Daiki right now...

Chore 2: Clean your room.

*Emis brings a broom and a dustpan*

*Dad passes by*

*Dad sees the broom and dustpan*

Dad: SON!!!

No...

Emis: Please, not this too...

Dad: Use...your...HANDS!

Emis: NOOOOO!

*1 hour later*

Emis: That took a lifetime...Eh? What's that?

*Emis spots a small picture under his bed*

Emis: Wait...it's me as a baby...

*The picture shows a man and a woman carrying a baby*

Emis: Who are these people?

Better ask Mom and Dad later...

Chore 3: Clean the living room.

*Emis brings a broom and a dustpan*

Better hide these from Dad.

*Emis sneaks, but accidentally bumps into Dad*

Dad: What's that?

Emis: Uh...nothing Dad...

Dad: Give them to me.

*Emis gives the broom and dustpan to Dad*

Dad: I see...so your hands are tired.

Emis: Finally...can I have those now?

Dad: If you can't use your hands...use...YOUR FEET!

Emis: NOOOO!

*12 chores of hell later*

Finally, I'm finished. I thought my Dad was gonna let me cook with my head on that last chore.

*Emis sighs*

I wonder what time it is.

*Emis looks at a clock*

Emis: It's already past noon?! I think it would be best if I take a little walk.

*He walks along the road*

Emis: *sighs* That was super tiring.

*He sees a store*

Emis: Ooh, *looks in surprise* I should buy a little something for myself.

*He looks at some chips*

How about this?

*He looks at some cookies*

This too!

??? : This too! Yes!

That voice...I think I heard it before.

*He looks behind*

WHAAAT?!

*It's Ayaka*

Emis: Wh-What are you doing here?

Ayaka: Huh? I'm buying of course. And what are you doing here too? Regardless of your answer, lay off my turf.

*He is mocked*

Emis: I'm just picking a little something for myself.

Ayaka: Why? Is it your birthday? Happy Birthday.

Emis: NO! I just had a hell of chores earlier...

Ayaka: Same goes for me.

Emis: Well, I should buy now. See ya'.

Both: Finished!

Ayaka: Well, goodbye.

Emis: Wait.

Ayaka: Yes?

Since it's just the two of us, I should take advantage of it.

Emis: Hey...what do you...feel about me? Do you...hate me?

Ayaka: Well, I wouldn't say I hate you. That's that. Goodbye.

I should talk to her sometime. Time to go home.

Emis: I'm home.

Mom: That's a lot you got there, Miku.

Dad: How 'bout you share some of those with us?

Emis: Hey Mom, who are these two in the picture?

*He shows the picture*

*Mom and Dad are surprised*

Dad: Where did you find this?

Emis: Under my bed.

*Mom smacks Dad*

Why did Mom hit Dad?

Mom: Um...Miku, they are your...

Dad: Uncle and Auntie!

Emis: Oh, I see. What are their names?

Dad: Uncle Mycen and Auntie Tasiana Mercia.

Emis: They do have odd names. On whose side?

Dad: Mine!

Emis: Where are they now?

Mom: They died...in a car accident.

Emis: Oh, I see. Thanks, I'm going to bed.

Mom: He's not ready...

*It is now Monday, August 3*

*They are in class*

Emis: *whispers* Hey Hiroto, I need to ask you something later.

*Hiroto nods*

*School bell rings*

*It is AM Break*

Emis: Hiroto...do you have a family member that looks exactly like you?

*Hiroto is flustered*

Hiroto: Um...what?
