Chapter 6: -Occasion

There was one day on Pekopon wherein love was flying in the air. It took place every fourteenth of the month Febuary as almost everything was covered in hearts and roses. Valentines Day...the day when giving sweets meant something, and the day when love bloomed the most. But somehow...there are some people new at this.

Giroro was inside the Hinata household walking about, wondering what the fuss is all about. He looked at Natsumi preparing some sweet chocolates for Saburo supposedly. His feelings for Natsumi already passed...as he felt that there's no use to fall for a Pekoponian as maybe one day...it shall be invaded...and as well as for a fact that she loved someone else. So for now Natsumi is a close friend of his.

Giroro was curious of the occasion as this was maybe one of the few times he experienced this holiday. He started to ask.

"...Natsumi...what is going on today...everybody's doing something..."
"...Today's Valentines Day Giroro...it's a day when you give somebody something...to show how much you...like them..."

Giroro slowly looked at the calendar hanging from the wall nearby. The day Febuary 14 was encircled with a heart. As Natsumi was somehow optimistic whenever she thought of Saburo, Valentines wasn't just like that. Giroro left Natsumi to do what she wanted...but still she had a point.

He wasn't that crafty and he wasn't good for a cook either so he thought deeply if he should give Dororo something.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile...Dororo was overlooking the streets of Japan seeing the occasion. The flower shops were doing better business today just as well as the cake shops. Today was a sweet occasion, people going on dates and stuff like that. He was with Koyuki and was slightly familiar with the occasion.

"...I think I'll go visit Giroro-kun..." It popped in his head and so he jumped to it.

He started running toward the Hinata househould alongside Koyuki. Koyuki really wanted to visit Natsumi and see how she was doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile down in the base...Keroro was observing something about the particular holiday. It made him wonder and then he thought up about something...a plan for the invasion.

"...I see this holiday...is all about love..." He started speaking out into the open.
"...Let me see...maybe we could use this holiday... in order to rule Pekopon... GeroGeroGero"

But it looked as if everyone was in the spirit of Valentines Day. Private Second Class Tamama was carrying something in a box, supposedly a cake for him and Keroro to eat. As he entered the doors to the breifing room he saw Mois alongside Keroro, feeding him something delicious before he could debrief the different members of the Keroro Platoon.

"...GAAH...that woman...is with...gunsou-san..." The box dropped and then his split personality took over.

The wire in his brain snapped and bursted into a Jelousy Ball. The Jelousy Ball flew in the air at a rapid speed but fortunately Mois stood up at the right time and instead of her being hit, Keroro got smashed with it.

"...Gunsou-san!...I'm sorry..." The Private ran to his aid.
"...It's okay...Tamama-nitou..." Keroro was already used to getting hit by the deadly moves Tamama has up his sleeves...it's lucky he gets to live another day.

He then fell unconcious in the Private's arms. Tamama ,on the other hand, kissed Keroro gently on the forehead and apologized.

"...I'm sorry...gunsou-san..." He repeated.

The operation was cancelled due to the incident.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natsumi was busy trying to finish the valentine's chocolates for Saburo. A knock then echoed through the hallway. The pink haired girl was already aware that Keroro got blasted and besides that she couldn't let him do it , him being an alien after all. Natsumi spotted Fuyukii and then told him to get the door as because she had her hands full.

Fuyukii walked slowly in the hallway and arrived at the door, opening it. He saw Koyuki and Dororo stand in front of the doorstep. He invited them in and told his sister who it was.

"...I'm surprised you didn't pop out of anywhere in the house..." Fuyukii told Koyuki as they were walking toward the living room.
"...Oh...me and Dororo thought we'd just come through the front door..." Koyuki said as a response.

Koyuki offered to help Natsumi and she accepted as the kitchen looked like a mess with her rushing. While this was happening, Dororo got to the back and spotted Giroro lying on the grassy surface in front of his tent.

"...Giroro-kun..." Dororo yelled a bit to his mate.
"...oh...Hi...Dororo..." Giroro sat up and got a bit embarassed.
"...Hmm...What's wrong Giroro-kun..." Dororo noticed the look plastered on the red face.

Giroro couldn't think of anything to give Dororo...but he had a backup plan.

"...Dororo...would you mind if...I take you somewhere..."
"...Hmm...why Giroro-kun?.."

Giroro kept silent and stood up, taking the light blue hand. They walked up to a hill surrounded with trees. It was kind of hard to get a visual perceptive of where they were going but still Giroro knew where would be perfect.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sky was beginning to turn orange. They were walking on the marked path and arrived at a lake surrounded by trees. Dororo was still wondering why did Giroro take him here. But still the scenery took his breath away...

"...Giroro-kun...why did you take me here?..."
"...It's a gift..."
"...for Valentines..."
"...Dororo, just look...

The sky was starting to turn darker. It was getting harder to see but then somthing came out. There were small lights flickering about, flying around in the air. They were fireflies. The number was increasing little by little. Then the stars began to shimmer up in the sky and the trees were swaying back and forth alongside the grass. The water sparkled in lights. Dororo didn't know what to say.

"...Thank you Giroro-kun...This is...the best thing I've seen..."
"...Your welcome...Dororo..."

Dororo, all of a sudden, hugged Giroro. They accidentally fell onto the grassy surface but they felt great about it. Giroro really didn't mind if he didn't give Dororo anything but still it would've been better to give something or at the least show something. He didn't do it for the sake of giving but because he loves Dororo indefinitely.

"...Let's stay here for a while..." Dororo said laying his head on the white belly of his lover.

They laid down on the grass and watched the sky glimmer through the black sky. Giroro rubbed his head while looking upward at the starry sky.

"...Now I understand what Valentines Day is..." Giroro thought silently.
